The Old King’s spirit drifted out of his body as the Grim Reaper completed the swing of their scythe, severing soul from corpse. As it drifted away, the Grim Reaper stood back, satisfied by their work. Something caught their attention…the Grim Reaper sniffed the air, and then vanished.

Hundreds of miles away, a group of Necromancers gathered to perform their midnight rituals under a starless sky, using the energy of the night to recharge their powers. As they tapped into the necrotic energy field, each one felt the same disturbance - a sign of a powerful force approaching, and there was no doubt to any of them what it was. Seconds later, the Grim Reaper appeared among them and spoke in their minds.

“You continue to interfere with the natural order of life and death, despite my earlier warnings to you. I will now be forced to take more drastic measures. You will find your abilities waning over time, as each power you have created dies by my hand. Do not forget who has dominion over Death!”

As quick as they appeared, the Grim Reaper disappeared. The necromancers were silent for a moment, then began whispering among each other. After some debate, they all agreed on a plan. They would have to find a way to overcome the Grim Repear’s promise to kill off their powers, but more importantly, one of them would need to discover the steps necessary to become the new Grim Reaper and stop this threat once and for all.
