My Crush Died While I Was a Slave So I Became a Necromancer
Evan Kael, a cynical warehouse worker from Earth, dies in an accident only to awaken in chains in the brutal slave pits of Atherion—a vast, unforgiving world of magic and martial powers. Beaten and abused, he’s just another piece of meat to be broken or sold, until he meets Lysa, a fiery-haired slave with a stubborn will to survive. Together, they endure the pit’s horrors, their bond growing from shared pain into a desperate, unspoken love. When they’re bought by Lady Veyra and thrust into the blood-soaked fighting pits, they fight as a team, their victories piling up, their hope flickering brighter with every kill. Life starts to feel bearable—until a stronger team shatters it all. In a hopeless, crowd-pleasing slaughter, Lysa dies in Evan’s arms, her last breath sealed with a tearful kiss. Grief and rage awaken the system, granting him the Necromancer class. He resurrects Lysa as an undead—pale, dark-haired, red-eyed, but stronger—and together they carve a bloody escape from the pit.
