Necromantic Bone Rune Master

I'm Lorne, a “bone runesmith” cursed by fate. My hands use the bones of the dead as ink and the fires of their souls as brushes, inscribing mysterious “necromantic contracts”! With every stroke, my life force ebbs away like a tide. The Empire wants to turn me into a weapon of war and has launched an endless pursuit to capture me. But while fleeing a desperate situation, I stumbled upon an ancient sealed tomb. There, I discovered the remains of a “Necromancer Empress” who had slumbered for ten thousand years! Even more astonishing, her bones bore an unfinished bone rune left behind by my master! To save my life, I gambled everything and completed that forbidden rune at the cost of my own life force. To my surprise, I formed a “master-servant contract” with the slumbering Necromancer Empress! I became the Necromancer Empress's sole “Master”! But the price of the contract is that every time the Empress awakens, she drains my life! The Empire, necromancer lords, mysterious powers... all covet the Empress's strength and watch me, her “Master,” like a hawk! I'll wager my life and make the bones my proof. In this chaotic age, alongside my Necromancer Empress, we'll either live together or die together, and I'll ultimately inscribe a necromantic empire of my own!
