First Necromancer: Book One

A System Descent LitRPG Adventure

De: Coldfang89

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

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, 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.

Great story

I really enjoyed this book, its fun. I'm a bit biased because I love necromancers. Definitely gunna pick up the next one.

Though I definitely feel like the story has a few loose ends but Im sure they'll get wrapped up in the next book.

I kinda wish the MC enjoyed combat more but its probably more realistic that he doesn't.

I don't quite get why some guns work and some don't as most guns all work on the same principles so a lever action and a AR aren't really all that different when it comes to striking a bullet. They are definitely on different levels but the basic function is the same when it comes to hitting a striker to fire a bullet. I can look past that though because its a fun story. Thats really my only gripe with the book.

Looking forward to book 2

easy to follow with a unique protagonists and realistic decision making without the main character making huge leaps of logic.

awesome older MC

This was a great first book and I really love that the MC is older and so family oriented. He is not full murder hobo and I feel like it really adds to the story. Not only is the MC awesome but the author does a great job making all the side characters important and fleshed out. needless to say I'm excited for the next one!

Give the is a chance

I got this on a whim, and I am not disappointed at all. I had no expectations at all but I found myself loving all the characters. I love the MC being a necro. I love how there are elements of to building and also LitRPG. I greatly enjoy how it’s not death by stat screens either.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Amazing story

This had me listening to it almost straight through it was so good and has comedy at amazing moments too. “Rearrange my guts witch boy” had me literally spitting my drink out.

game style narrative

if you like DND or world of Warcraft you'll love this book I definitely recommend it

Avrgere

I have a few problems with this book
First the narration isn't great and a better narrator would have made the story better
Second there are religious themes discussed in the book but during the discussion there are fandemental errors in religious knowledge like not knowing God has a name for a religious person
Third the necromancey isn't focused enough for a book titled the first necromancer
It feels like the necromancey is taking a second sit behind the religion which is bad
If u want a good necro book read book of the dead

Amazing book

The book had a great balance of character building world building action and humor...also a nice balance between light hearted and dark scenes the book sucks you in wanting more can't wait for book 2!

Great start to a series!

I really the fairly unique storyline. It does have some similarities to Primal Hunter, I am really looking forward to the next book.

it isn't too bad of a audiobook

it seemed a little naive in some cases but it was definitely listenable I like the narrator
