Necromancer Stories

[The Official English Translation of 'Necromancer Academy and the Genius Summoner' ('네크로맨서 학교의 소환천재') is Here!] A hundred years after the brutal war between Necromancers and Priests, the world enjoys an uneasy peace. But everything changes when a boy inherits his father's legendary undead army and enrolls at Kizen, the most prestigious necromancer academy in the world. He sends shockwaves through the magical world with a single question: "Am I just unique, or actually talented?" He's not just gifted. He's a cheat-level summoner with infinite potential, the kind of anomaly the research community never saw coming. Professors are desperate to take him on as a disciple, kingdoms are racing to recruit him, and all the while, he's innocently asking, "Professor, when can I summon a Lich?" A new force has emerged, and one thing is clear: a genius like no other is about to rewrite the rules of necromancy. *** Weekly updates on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. *** Text copyright © Volley/KWBOOKS Illustration copyright © SIK First published in Korean by KWBOOKS English translation copyright © INFINICTION Translator: StaceySRK /INFINICTION All rights reserved.

'Volkaris Vanguard' unfolds in the continental land of Volkaris, a realm inhabited by diverse factions. Among them are Humans, intelligent and strong beings; Elementors, clans wielding elemental powers who maintain the balance of Volkaris from their homeland, Elementia; the Kitna, agile and swift cat-like humanoids; and the Pyroclasts, creatures dwelling in volcanoes, incredibly durable with glowing, rock-hard magma skin. Then there are the enigmatic necromancers, individuals who, driven by a desire for strength, intelligence, speed, durability, and magic, forsake conventional life to command the undead. At the heart of this world is Kael Ignis, a Fire Elementor. An adventurer, leader, and warrior, he is also a seeker of the deep lore and hidden knowledge of Volkaris. The overarching story, primarily my own creation with AI assistance in brainstorming (as its pacing differs from detailed chapter development), has undergone an AI grammar check. Please let me know if any errors remain!

Hi I recently read solo leveling and really wanted to make a back story for our FL. Cha Hae-In just wanted a quiet life as a college student. However, after awakening as Korea's first female S-Rank Hunter, she is thrust into the spotlight and has to be put in the line of duty. She finds solace within the Hunters Guild, but this equilibrium is once again disrupted by the mysterious Sung Jin Woo, a boy with mysterious powers beyond what the typical hunter has. Will she be able to finally find the quiet life she wants? Warning: spoilers from the manhwa are present, and I did take some liberty to diverge from the original story line. I wrote some of this with the help of AI, but I think the result is pretty fun.

This isn't Tiff Sheridan's best day. Not only is it a muggy and humid July, but her rat stole a golf cart, her least-favorite Black Robes Division agent showed up at the police station, and now she absolutely has to go to a tiny town across the Canadian border to track down a necromancer and serial killer named Boris Covington. Plus, Kepler ate poison and she can't stop botching social situations. It's par for the course, but that doesn't mean she likes it. Neither does Elton Castle, a local from Beaverdell, Canada. Reeling from a botched social endeavor of his own and-- relatedly-- pining for his American best friend, Elton is looking for a paranormal distraction from his current romantic woes, a fun way to spend his day off, and an eventual escape from his mother's house. If that involves ghosts, then so be it. He and his trusty right-hand-dog, Dingus, have definitely seen weirder things. With Elton determined to figure out who this freaky American girl Dale Cooper-ing his town really is and what she's up to and Tiff frantically trying to find Boris Covington, defend Elton, and keep her cool in the face of a returning foe, the slow burn of the murderous necromancer's sticky, papayous influence eats the wick toward the wax and begs the question: do they sell pancakes at Canadian diners? Why do you think they wouldn't? Can you survive your own death and still call yourself human? What's inside the most haunted house in Beaverdell?

Dorian Dallowmarsh is a man on the run. The necromancer thought he'd be safe masquerading as a vacationing professor at a seaside resort, but his attempts to lay low at The Beacon have failed spectacularly. Spirits appear with cryptic messages at the worst possible moments, and Bitzy, an exuberant young widow, has taken a shine to him. She even secures him an invite to an exclusive soiree: a séance featuring the famous medium, Madame Draga. Dorian assumes Draga's a fake. Most self-proclaimed mediums are. But when a ghost delivers a disturbing message, he faces a terrible choice: risk exposure by a medium who may be a bounty hunter in disguise or disappoint his new friend. Either way, Dorian's quiet escape plan is about to get very complicated! Prompt 72: A real necromancer sits in on a fake séance.

(A/N: this one actually took some serious thought but then it hit me, I was focused on the magic side but why do that when I should do the opposite! The scavengers are coming to play!) On a job the scavenger team died, it was most likely a trap to finally get rid of them, then before they can retrieve their bodies a magical force pulled them into the crossing paths of a certain necromancer's spell, how will this version of Japan without academy city and an even darker underground react to not just a necromancer but a deadly team of now undead teenagers.

Oren Hale discovers a memorial page for a boy who died four years ago and cannot explain why the photo looks exactly like him. After that, ordinary life starts to feel staged, like he is walking through a story someone else wrote. His tutor, Ayara, is smart, guarded, and dangerously easy to talk to. Their sessions shift into something riskier: honesty, which only makes the rest of the world feel stranger by comparison. As Oren tries to understand where the dead boy ends and he begins, the people closest to him keep steering him away from the truth. But the more he looks, the clearer it becomes: one of these lives is real, and the other is a mistake. He just doesn't know which one.

Arthur is a noble-born reincarnator searching for absolute immortality to avoid the terrifying fate he witnessed in the afterlife. Thanks to a failed spell designed by an unimaginative ancestor, he is able to glimpse a path leading toward immortality while laying the foundations to become the world's first necromancer. However, magic in the world of Nithe is as brutal and complex as the world itself. Although Arthur would like nothing more than to focus his efforts on advancing his goals, the circumstances of his birth compel him to be an active participant in the world's happenings regardless of his desires. With death hanging around every corner, to attain absolute immortality, Arthur first needs to survive the cruel yet fantastical world he now inhabits.

As a Black man navigating the sharp corners of London, he's used to being watched, but as a necromancer, he's the one doing the observing. To pass a rainy Tuesday, he decides to sit in on a fake séance hosted by a local "spiritualist" in a drafty Victorian parlour. He expects cheap parlour tricks, hidden magnets, and the predictable scent of stale incense. And Madame Valeska is pro at it all. But as the candles flicker and Valeska begins her practiced wail, the air in the room turns unnervingly cold. Arthur quickly begins to realize that nothing is quite what it seems. The fraud in the velvet shawl isn't the only one hiding a secret, and the knocking on the table isn't coming from her foot-it's coming from somewhere much deeper. In this dark corner of the city, Arthur is forced to remember a chilling truth: monsters don't live under our beds; they live in the recesses of our minds. And tonight, one of those monsters is finally finding its way out. WC: 20,000 + CC: Inky
