The Rise of the Necromancer

In a world where Ascendants rule and monstrous Gates threaten humanity, Jake Renner is nobody. He spends his days helping his mother keep their struggling diner alive, trying to survive in a society that values power above all else. But when a deadly Red Gate opens without warning and drags him inside, Jake finds himself facing certain death. Instead, he awakens something impossible. The mysterious Necrolord Ascension System grants him the power to raise the creatures he kills and command them as loyal subordinates. Every battle strengthens his growing legion. Every fallen monster becomes another soldier. Every victory brings him one step closer to a power that could rival the world's strongest Ascendants. As Gates become more dangerous and ancient threats begin to stir, Jake must forge an army from the dead, uncover the secrets behind his strange new abilities, and carve his own path in a world where only the powerful survive. Because in a world ruled by Ascendants, the dead may prove to be the greatest force of all.
