Jay Carter, newly reincarnated into the world of Halea, is given three things: the Necromancer Class, a curse that afflicts those who have it, and a Divine Command to break that curse. Can Jay undo the Class Curse before it consumes him or will he become nothing more than a mindless tyrant at the head of an undead army, blighting the world under his feet?

Formidable forces work against him, trying to close him in their trap at every turn, and it is all he can do to stay out of their clutches. The question of whether he can overpower his enemies is not much of one at all, so it all comes down to whether he can outwit and outspeed them.
