Eclipsed Necromancer: I'm a guy looking for power

In a world where the balance of life and death is sacred, Niko is different. He does not fear the darkness, he is drawn to it. Unlike the warriors, blacksmiths, and farmers of his village, he craves knowledge, the kind hidden in forgotten tomes and whispered by the dead.

One stormy night, he finds a chained book in the depths of the forest—a book that should not exist. The moment he touches it, his fate is sealed.

Marked by an ancient power, hunted by forces beyond his understanding, Niko embarks on a journey that will take him from a mere scholar of the dark arts to a wielder of reality itself. But power comes at a price. The deeper he delves, the more he realizes that something watches from beyond the veil of existence, waiting… for him.

When the light of the world begins to fracture and forgotten gods stir, Niko must make a choice: become the villain history will fear or the last hope of a world on the brink of ruin.

The chains have been broken. The darkness calls. Will he answer?
