The once quiet town was now bustling with activity. Crowds had gathered from every corner of the region, all drawn by the same purpose: the recruitment drive of the prestigious Necrovauld Academy.
Despite its notorious reputation for promoting dark magic, Necrovauld remained one of the most sought-after academies in the land.
Its influence stretched far beyond the reach of the Holy Empire or the so-called righteous factions, making it a prime destination for those who lived in the shadows or sought power without the constraints of morality.
For the townsfolk and travelers alike, joining Necrovauld was not just an opportunity—it was a chance to escape obscurity and grasp the power that could change their fate. The entrance test was straightforward, designed to weed out the weak and unworthy.
Age, cultivation level, and mana purity were the primary factors, but there were also rumors of hidden criteria that only those with special access could bypass.
