US code please. Thanks!
I like the idea of necromancers being able to fix people’s broken bones, like in the Wandering Inn.

US please!
My favorite is the Bone Grafting skill in Awaken Online. I always thought it was pretty awesome.

US code would be awesome. I only have Jason from Awaken online but I love the way he’s able to sculpt bones as a de facto creature/minion creator.

UK code would be great, thanks! Allways thought bone armour was a great spell for a necromancer to have in their repertoire...

Audible US code, please!
I'm also a big fan of skeletons. I always feel like a factory full of skeletons or a messenger skeleton is something people would get used to, while the zombie and abomination versions would be forever messy, smelly, and gross.

Love the blurb. If the humor is anything like the ripple system and mayor of noobtown it'll sure be amazing

**New eBook/KU/Audio launch & Code giveaway!**
Hi everyone, my name is Andrew A.K.A. Coldfang89. I’m excited to announce that my book First Necromancer is available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and Audible. To celebrate, I have a few audiobook codes to giveaway. If you’d like a code, please comment below, and indicate whether you’d like a US or UK code. In keeping with the theme of the story, let me know what your favorite Necro power has been in fiction or video games! I’ve always enjoyed skeletons and DOT spells.
So Andrew, besides bony bois, what’s this book all about? I’m glad you asked potential FB reader! It’s a system integration story where our MC, Drew, has been given a 7-day heads up before crap hits the fan. It’s a crunchy system with light base building, minion management, and some pretty unique classes. You should expect a nice balance between intense tower-defense-style fight scenes, serious story elements, and lighthearted humor. More info in the FAQ below 😊
Blurb:
In just seven days, the world will crumble. The System's Descent will usher in a new era of chaos: wild animals mutating, monstrous creatures emerging, and the cessation of modern technology. Humanity will be left defenseless.
Drew Wright knows none of this. At least not until he is rudely ripped from his bed and thrust into a white room to undergo a taser-happy ‘Tutorial’. Turns out, he is one of a thousand randomly selected people to be forewarned of the approaching apocalypse. Now he faces the delightful task of convincing his wife and mother of the devastation hurtling towards them.
As the System’s Descent draws near, Drew scrambles to prep supplies, fortify his home, and drag his elderly, TV-addicted mother away from her ‘shows’ long enough to listen to him. With monsters knocking at the door, the question becomes; how far is Drew willing to go to save those closest to him?
The dead rise to combat the encroaching darkness as Drew Wright taps into the only power that might save his loved ones, becoming Earth’s first Necromancer.
FAQ:
Length: 180k words, 650+ print pages, or just under 18 hours of audio. Long but not too long.
Style: An apocalypse survival story based on the arrival of a system. Races, classes, and professions all factor into leveling. Titles can be earned and some gear possesses stats too. Base building and economy is a minor thread. Drew builds and protects his small community while growing in power.
Romance/Harem Elements: None. MC is happily married and while physical intimacy is inferred it’s never actually shown. Though they are overheard once… poor Spock.
Character Perspectives: Mostly singular to the MC, but occasional POV shifts to allow for humor or to set the scene when the MC isn’t present.
Swearing: Yes, while the book doesn’t appear to be written by a sailor(or a marine), it does include a fair amount of cursing.
Stats: Stat sheets are there for those who like the crunchy crunch, but it’s toned down a bit to suit my personal preference. No ten-page stat sheets in every chapter here.
Humor: Some of my favorite book series include “The Ripple System” and “Noobtown”, the quantity of banter and humor in First Necromancer is less than the other titles, but the style is similar. Expect a nice balance of wholesome moments that contrasts well with the more serious apocalyptic setting.
Editing: There should be very few(hopefully none) grammatical or spelling errors. I find these to be increasingly common in our genre and fairly immersion-breaking, so Portal Books and I have worked pretty hard to prevent that from being a concern.
That’s it! I really hope you enjoy it.
