Plot Summary of The Lone Necromancer

The world has collapsed into chaos. Monsters from myths and legends emerge, hunting humans and transforming cities into war zones. In this nightmare, survivors are forced to adapt or die. Among them, a lone man makes an unconventional choice—he becomes a necromancer, gaining control over the dead to fight against the monstrous tide.
With his unique abilities, he summons undead warriors to battle against terrifying creatures. As he levels up, he gains new skills, raising stronger minions and developing devastating spells. Each battle pushes him closer to becoming an unstoppable force, but stronger foes continue to emerge, threatening both him and what remains of humanity.
With the world hanging in the balance, alliances are tested, and betrayals lurk around every corner. Can the necromancer rise to power and turn the tide of destruction, or will he be consumed by the darkness he commands? His journey is just beginning.
