Necromancer Of The Shadows

"I should have stayed home and played video games." This was Ray's last thought before darkness engulfed him after he was hit by a car. But surprisingly, instead of finding himself before the gates of hell after dying, Ray found out he was transmigrated into another world. The world Ray was transmigrated to was called Arora World, a place where you can use different kinds of skills, magic, and even acquire powerful classes. Ray found himself in the body of a young boy named Evan, who was studying in a hunter academy after awakening his abilities at the age of fourteen. At first, Ray was happy that he was transmigrated into the body of someone who had awakened his abilities and could use the magic he always wanted to use. However, as Ray went through Evan's memories, he finally realized that everything was not as simple as he had expected. Evan had a unique physique that didn't allow him to increase his power like other people. Because of this useless unique physique, Evan was the weakest hunter in the entire academy. And that was not all; the more Ray looked at Evan's memories, the more he realized just how troublesome his situation was. "I know I entered this body without buying a ticket, but isn't this too much?" Ray said in a depressed voice after going through Evan's memories. Will Ray be able to survive in this new world? Is the physique of his new body really useless? Join Ray on his adventure to find out.

Villain: Herald of Shadows

For every 10 unique reviews there will be an extra chapter! ¡¡¡¡Castle = 5 extra chapters!!! ********* I feel hatred and resentment. It's such a bitter feeling that it consumes me from within, leaving a foul taste in my mouth. The smell emanating from my body is repugnant: yes, it's the smell of blood. I feel dizzy and very confused, and my entire body hurts. I'm scared, very scared. It's dark and I can't see anything. Lying on the cold ground, a pool of blood surrounds me completely. I'm not sure what I'm doing in this place. Vague memories pass through my mind, blurred and distant. Anguished and on the verge of despair, I try to get up, yearning to leave this place behind. The warmth begins to seep into my bones, and the gentle light of the sun envelops me. I don't know who I am, or what I am, a shadow is a world full of light, an anomaly, a fault, a being that should not have existed.

Nesta moaned at the pleasure building up within her. She put her hand in his hair, lost in its softness, earning a moan from him. "Oh, Quinn," she moaned when his mouth traveled down her neck, down to her stomach, to her private parts. She jerked up as she felt him breathe air on it. She closed her eyes as she tried to savor this sensation that is foreign to her body. She could not get any words out due to the tension building between her legs. Quinn raised his head for a moment. "Open your eyes, my darling," he said, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips when he saw the state she was in. But he had just started. "I want you to look at me when I take you to that place you have never been before. I want to see the look in your eyes when you come undone with my tongue. Okay?" he asked as his hands trailed up and cupped her breasts, making a moan escape her lips while she managed to murmur a "Yes."

"Sorry, did you want some honey-dipped, chocolate-coated strawberry cheesecake with sprinkles, cherries and coconut shavings, Soren? You can have a bite. I am not sharing the whipped cream topping though." "I DON'T WANT IT!!!"
