Second Rate Necromancer

Volume One completed!

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

He was the greatest hero in history, feared even by the gods. Couldn't he at least be resurrected by someone worth a damn?

Orion, the brash, confident, and overwhelmingly powerful hero of old, sacrificed himself hundreds of years ago to seal away the King of Hell, Tarmak. A worthy end for an accomplished hero such as himself, or so he thought.

Enter Ansel, a young, novice adventurer who just so happens to have obtained the coveted Necromancer class, only the third ever to accomplish such a feat. The issue is, he can hardly summon a pile of bones, let alone an undead capable of surviving a dungeon. Cast out by his former party, Ansel has lost all hope of becoming a proper adventurer... until he accidentally resurrects the once mighty hero of old.

Brought back from the dead—unwillingly—and with the majority of his powers locked behind some kind of necromantic seal, Orion must learn to face the world that he turned his back on, confront the lurking threats he left behind, and whip his inexperienced master into shape.

Because Orion isn’t the only thing Ansel brought back from the dead.
