    Among various mages, the necromancer is an unpopular class, since their teammates continue to work even after death, and ogres are notorious. What if you combine the two? Turn the leftover skeletons into skeleton soldiers.

    This is my first and only poorly written work that has managed to reach over a million words... Warcraft, you know... I hope it gets better gradually, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality... You can skip the long historical explanations since it's fanfiction... This is a painstakingly crafted attempt... The best parts are in the dream world, welcome to the dream... It's not traditional Western fantasy or magic, nor is it purely undead or online game... It's the youth of an old toy that walks alongside death...
