In a world plagued by darkness and despair, where monsters, demons, and vengeful gods reigned supreme, there existed a man named Ian Hartley. He had lived a simple and unremarkable life, until one fateful day when a catastrophic event forever changed his destiny.

Ian POV:
As the sky turned black and lightning crackled across the horizon, I found himself falling through an endless void. Images of countless battles and fantastical landscapes flashed before my eyes
It seemed like I would be here forever
Finally I landed in a desolated graveyard.
Confused and disoriented, I looked around only to find myself surrounded by tombstones, shrouded in eerie mist.
As if guided my hand reached out to touch a gravestone
A sudden surge of energy to jolted through my body.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!"
It was as if the very essence of death itself had become a part of me.
I grit my teeth in pain and tried to resist the pain
I was starting to lose consciousness
Suddenly the pain stopped
And I was left with a feeling of relief
The adrenaline left my body and my body collapsed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5 Hours Later)
As I stood up, a faint glow emanated from within me.
It was then that a mysterious voice echoed through my mind.
[Greetings, Ian. Congratulations on your reincarnation. I am the System, here to guide you on your new path as a necromancer.]
I stared wide-eyed, his heart pounding in his chest. "Reincarnation? Necromancer? What is all of this?"
The voice responded, brimming with ancient wisdom.
[You have been chosen to embody the powers of death and darkness, Ian. With the System, you will gain formidable abilities and become one of the strongest beings in this world. It is your destiny to fight for humanity against the creatures that threaten its existence.]
Ian felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation wash over him. This extraordinary opportunity to wield such powerful abilities filled him with a newfound determination.
