Carlos Valois thought dying once was enough—until he woke up as a 10-year-old in the world of "The Dark Era," a game he'd mastered in his previous life.

Born as the last heir of a fallen noble house, Carlos discovers he's destined for a tragic fate: in six years, he'll be manipulated into joining the dark forces and killed by his own childhood friend. But this time, he has the ultimate cheat code—memories of the future.

While other kids play with toys, Carlos hunts for divine legacies. Using his game knowledge, he performs an ancient ritual and steals a Demigod Mark from the thousand-year Sacred Oak—a power that should have remained hidden for decades.

At 15, Carlos awakens as a Death Herald with broken stats that shouldn't be possible. Most Death Heralds are fragile summoners hiding behind weak skeletons. But Carlos combines his necromancy with stolen divine abilities, creating a hybrid build that turns him into an unstoppable force.

[Skeleton Warrior has successfully evolved into Purple Thornblade Skeleton Guard!]
[Purple Thornblade Skeleton Guard has activated Bond: Glory of the Purple Thornblades!]
[Twelve Purple Thornblade Guards have formed an Undead Armored Knight Legion!]
.....
His skeleton warriors aren't cannon fodder—they're elite undead legions enhanced beyond normal limits through secret evolution paths that took thousands of players years to discover.

Every "coincidental" encounter is actually Carlos farming legendary opportunities. While his sister thinks he's just a lucky genius, Carlos systematically raids every hidden treasure, secret technique, and forgotten legacy he remembers from the game. Ancient bloodlines, divine artifacts, mystical cultivation methods—if it exists, he's taking it.

With his infinitely evolving undead legion, Carlos set out on a path to rewrite destiny and become the supreme Death Herald legend.

Desolate Desert, near the Pure White Salt Lands.


Behind a certain sand dune, four towering Shield Guards stood watch in front of a tent.


[Spiritual Essence accumulated 15000, Spirituality +1, current Spirituality 16]


[Gained Attribute Points +1, Skill Points +1]


Carlos, who'd been resting with his eyes closed, immediately snapped them open.


Going through the usual routine: Strength +1, Skeleton Revival +1.


Walking out of the tent, he pulled out a corpse:


The twenty-eighth skeleton soldier came to life!


After giving two Shield Guards this task, Carlos headed back into the tent to keep resting.


In the distance across the Pure White Salt Lands, the slaughter kept going.


Several hours of non-stop killing gradually wound down.


Until no more spiritual essence notifications popped up in his mind.
