Alex stood in front of the ancient stone temple, a surge of energy coursing through him after contracting with the Undead King.
It was time to test out his newfound power—the ability to summon skeletons under his command.
He raised his staff, focusing his mind on the summoning process.
The air around him shimmered as arcane runes began to glow, their light expanding outward in a circle beneath his feet.

"Rise," he commanded, his voice echoing.
From the earth, five skeletons burst forth, their bones clattering together as they formed into solid, humanoid shapes.
Each one held a bone sword, ready for battle.
The skeletal warriors stood at attention, their eyeless sockets locked onto Alex, awaiting his next command.
