The Necromancer's Logistics Empire
In a world where awakened "Hunters" battle interdimensional rifts for fame and fortune, Cedric Ashford is considered a failure. Born with a rare necromancy class, his power is deemed useless—corpses are too weak, too slow, and far too illegal to use in a modern society strictly governed by the Hunter Association's laws. Blacklisted from every major guild in London, he scrapes by on the meager earnings of D-rank missions, just enough to pay the rent on his dying apartment outside Manchester.
Everything changes when an S-rank rift disaster opens in the heart of Berlin, unleashing an endless tide of abyssal creatures that devour the city within hours. As the world's strongest hunters from New York, Seoul, and Tokyo rush in to contain the catastrophe, they fail. The sheer logistics of transporting food, ammunition, weapons, and mana crystals through monster-infested blockades become impossible. The allied hunter forces, trapped and starving behind enemy lines, teeter on the brink of total annihilation.
In desperation, Cedric makes a radical decision. He does not raise warriors—he raises a legion of dead animals, horses, and winged creatures. He builds an undead supply chain that never tires, never fears, and never dies. While the elite hunters fight, Cedric delivers. He hauls crates of rations into collapsed skyscrapers atop skeletal griffins. He smuggles medical supplies through ruined tunnels using reanimated moles the size of trucks. Quietly, he builds a logistics empire made entirely of the dead.
But the world's governments and the Hunter Association do not see a savior. What they see is a threat—a man who commands an army that grows with every fallen monster, a man whose supply lines could strangle the global economy if he wished, and a man who is silently becoming the most powerful individual on the planet without throwing a single punch.
Amidst the ruins of Berlin, behind the curtain of war, Cedric Ashford is no longer a failed hunter. He is now the man who owns the only working supply chain in hell. And when the world realizes it can no longer win without him, the question that remains is not whether he is a hero or a villain, but this: How much are they willing to pay for his service? The answer? Everything.
