The Demon of the Dark Arts

Jack was the top-ranked necromancer in a game called DemonRise Online, until his body gave out at his keyboard three years into a ten-year grind, and he died alone in his apartment with a headset still on. He wakes up screaming in the body of a dying infant, born into a world that runs on the exact System he memorized down to the last decimal point. Except here, Dark Arts aren't a niche build. They're a death sentence. Necromancers, curse-weavers, and soul-eaters are hunted on sight, burned before they turn ten, erased from bloodlines like a stain. Jack has every cheat code in his head and none of the safety of a screen between him and the consequences. To survive, he'll have to become the most terrifying thing this world has ever created.
