Dead men tell the best tales
Community Rating
Description
“Dead men tell the best tales, but in a city enslaved by silence, one necromancer’s voice may be the key to freedom.”
Elior Revan was always an outcast—a necromancer shunned for his forbidden magic, betrayed by his allies, and left to die in a cursed tomb. But death was only the beginning. Waking in Nova Helix, a sprawling futuristic megacity ruled by a cold and relentless System, Elior discovers he is an anomaly: a man without the digital interface that governs every citizen’s life.
When his necromantic powers adapt to this strange world, Elior gains a chilling new ability: summoning the fragmented digital remnants of the dead—the Echoes. These tortured souls hold the key to unraveling the Overlords’ secret, but each summoning brings Elior closer to the brink of destruction.
Joined by Vera, a sharp-tongued hacker with a vendetta, and Dax, a guilt-ridden enforcer seeking redemption, Elior must navigate shifting alliances, deadly drones, and the haunting whispers of the Echoes. Together, they’ll take the fight to the heart of the Overlords’ hive mind, risking everything to dismantle the System enslaving the city.
But freedom comes at a price, and for Elior, the cost may be his very existence. In a world where even the dead are used as pawns, can one man’s sacrifice light the way for a new dawn?
