This is a short story of 3 chapters that I wrote while studying text production. In theory, it shouldn't be a standalone story but rather the beginning of another, larger work that would consist of two stories: *War* and *What's on the Other Side?* However, since I won't be writing these two stories right now, I decided to separate the beginning and write it first, as I'm trying to practice creating endings... something that this story didn't help much with, as it has a continuation. Anyway, even missing the other two stories, I believe these three chapters serve well as an independent story, even if not very deep or complex. In case you'd like to know, the order of the stories would be: Third Trial, War, and then What's on the Other Side? I will post all three chapters today—one at 6 AM, another at 12 PM, and the last one at 6 PM. Image created by AI.

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Kai Tensen’s life ends in a freak accident, only for him to wake up as a newborn in a completely different world filled with magic, danger, and a “System” providing him with information and secrets of the world. But his second chance at life takes a deadly turn when he discovers the truth: he’s the first necromancer in over 500 years, and the world will do anything to see him destroyed. Hunted by the fanatical Inquisition, Kai must outwit bounty hunters, corrupt mages, and even gods themselves to survive. As Kai’s strength grows, so does the danger. Each step into his newfound powers tests his humanity, forcing him to confront questions of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of his ambition. But with whispers of a divine conspiracy and ancient relics that could shatter the gods’ control, Kai realizes his fight isn’t just for survival. It’s for revolution. In a world that brands him a monster, Kai vows to outlive his supressors. If they want a villain, he’ll give them one. The gods called him a curse and the church called him evil, but he’ll prove he’s their reckoning. Death is only the beginning. Author's Note: As you may know, I'm also the author of Fractured Horizon, a slightly futuristic fantasy/sci-fi novel about mutated human monsters and psychics that battle them. I also wrote My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story. I put a lot more time and effort into Reborn with a Necromancer System, and ironed out the details for a while, plotting approximately 500 chapters for all of you. If you liked either of my other two novels, this novel has a lot more planned for it than the other two. ----------------------------------------------------- Schedule: 10-20 chapters per week Chapter Length 1,000-2,000 words ----------------------------------------------------- Disclaimers: 1. This world is not like Earth. Applying common sense to some basic principles is pointless. 2. There are not any planned harems, but perhaps multiple love interests. 3. Although the main character has a necromancer system, we don't go straight into that. There's a bit of a slow burn, a learning curve for Kai, and he is just a baby when he starts, so give it some time to build up to it. He's not just going to be raising armies of undead while less than a year old. ----------------------------------------------------- Inspiration: D&D is a huge inspiration for this. And I have played as a necromancer-like character in dozens of games, read several books that had necromancers as either the main character, or the antagonist. Death has always been something that has interested me when it comes to my fiction, so I am hoping to share that with all of you. ----------------------------------------------------- Support the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel!

Rise.”—Gloria must choose: bow to her cage or embrace the darkness within. In a world where power is everything, her rebellion could crown her—or consume her.

"Elysia, why are you always subtly asking about how Michael's doing?" "Oh? Do I? Maybe it's because he was the only Herrscher in our era who fought for humanity! He was both the First Herrscher and a human named Michael. Yes! That's definitely it!" Facing Mei's question, Ellie just offered a faint smile. "What about Mobius?" "Tch!" The green-haired little girl snorted dismissively, turning her head away. "Who else?" Mei covered her face. "Pardo?" "W-w-what! Kalpas is clearly very concerned about Boss Michael too!" "Get lost!" "Kevin?" "It's not entirely what you think. He has a much more important meaning to us—a family member we promised to walk towards the future with." ----- True Love Warrior Protagonist, Not very Mental stable Protagonist, Pessimistic Protagonist, Anti-Hero Protagonist, Crybaby Protagonist, Michael x Elysia. Oh, Michael... Don't come here; I'm just writing nonsense.

Michael died forgotten—alone in a hospital bed, the last of a cursed bloodline wiped out by an unknown disorder. But death was not the end. Reborn in a world ruled by magic, monsters, and power, Michael awakens in the body of a young vampire who shared his fate: an outcast, shunned for a rare blood defect. His new life begins not with a blessing—but with pain, loss, and a broken system desperately trying to survive inside him. That system fails to control him. Instead, it merges with him. Now bound to a sentient force born from blood and will, Michael forges a new identity: Michael Crimson. In this new world, he doesn’t gain power through experience—he grows stronger by absorbing blood. Through it, he gains memories, strength, and perhaps… something close to family. With nothing left to lose, and everything to build, Michael sets out to create the family he never had—one forged in blood, bound by soul, and strengthened through pain. Because in this world, power is earned. Loyalty is taken. And family is chosen.
