In the heart of Oklahoma, where wide skies stretch over quiet towns, a reader-turned-writer named Andrew—known to his fans as Coldfang89—was quietly building an empire of the undead.

What began as a reading spree of nearly 200 LitRPG books in a single year turned into something more: the reluctant realization that if no one else would write the story he craved, he’d just have to write it himself. And so he did. With First Necromancer, a gritty, character-driven LitRPG that charts the descent of Drew Wright into the realm of necromancy, Coldfang89 stepped into the genre with unexpected force.

First Necromancer

When the world ends, it doesn’t send a warning—it rewrites the rules. Cities collapse, monsters roam the streets, and invisible systems decide who lives, who levels, and who gets left behind. In the shadow of this transformation, an ordinary man makes an extraordinary choice: to master death itself.

First Necromancer unfolds in the raw aftermath of the System’s Descent, an apocalyptic shift that overlays reality with a game-like structure—complete with stats, classes, and experience points. But this isn’t a power fantasy draped in shiny loot and easy wins. This is a survival tale wrapped in rot and grit, where every choice carries weight and the cost of failure is more than just a respawn.
