Five hundred years ago, the world was a much different place. Knights and mages roamed the lands, taking on quests and battling monsters. It was an era of great adventure… but it has come to a close.
Monsters are long extinct, and with them, magic.
You see, much like a tree creates oxygen, monsters produced mana – the ethereal substance that made casting spells possible. With no monsters to fight, the age of heroes ended. Now, the world is caught in a storm of technological advancements, new wonders seeking to replace the long lost magic.
Evan Thames is a young man growing up in the prosperous city of Dewton. As the son of a famous general, he’s pretty high class, comfortable in his life… but that all changes when he recieves a mysterious parcel from his long absent grandfather.
Ever wondered what it would be like to be the bad guy?
Tom Gardner is your average sixteen year old. He likes burgers, plays video games, doesn't do too well in school - pretty typical. That all changes when he finds himself in another world - one of knights and nobles, of monsters and magic. A fantasy realm ripped straight from the digital pages of some lame web novel.
Except, Tom's not himself. He's a lich... an ancient sorceror with untold power. Not just any lich, either - he's Corvus, the Dark Lord. And everyone wants to kill him.
This is his tale. The tale of a lich. The tale of... Tom, the Dark Lord.
