The One Below All

Death. Life. These two words has been used interchangeably by humans to define the Essence of their existence. Some are born wielding Essence: raw forces of life, death, light, and void. While few others are destined to awaken its Echoes: strange manifestations that sums up individual abilities in ways no one fully understands. As most remain ordinary humans in fear of what they do not understand, humanity resorts to seek countermeasures against such fears. Nerith Morvale is one of the feared ones. An anomaly creation of Death Essence. Imprisoned by the Global Unified Council and labeled a threat since a child, Nerith carries an unawakened Echo the world mocks and misunderstands: necromancy. Considered a useless, taboo power good only for raising corpses, necromancy has left him caged among others with broken, unknown abilities, waiting to be erased or rather tools to be used. But death listens to Nerith. A forbidden ritual performed in captivity reformed his reason to live. Because the dead do not merely obey him....they recognize him. And in that recognition, Nerith found something older than Essence, something deeper than Light or Void: Necromancy is not about commanding the dead. It is about becoming the thin line between life and death to choose those who deserves to exist. And Nerith must decide whether he will become humanity’s shield, its executioner, or something far worse. Because some powers are not meant to save the world. They are meant to end it or rather remake it from how rotten it'd become. N. B: Please note that this Webnovel is written from a villain's perspective.
