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.

Carlos gently twisted a ring on his finger.


Set with crimson jade bone, crystal clear and see-through, giving off waves of cold air.


Wearing Requirements: Spirituality 1/Death Herald Pathway


Special Enhancement: Skeleton Revival Level +2


This was the reward Carlos had picked up from the Rock Sand City garrison.


"There aren't many spirit gears that work for Death Heralds around here."


Death's energy made living things want to run the other way.


Psychics who could walk the Death Herald path were rare as hell.


This naturally meant spirit gear was scarce as dragon's teeth.


Red Spirit flew back, carrying a letter.


"A message from Security Officer Willie?"


Carlos grabbed it and stretched out on his lounge chair, starting to read.


"Just like I figured, a third letter showed up."
