Player Comments on Necromancer

General Recommendation: I recommend this game. It’s a fun read with a sense of epicness and scale that many longer works fail to capture.
Preview: Will you successfully embrace your destiny as a true necromancer?

=SPOILERS BELOW=

General notes:
This story’s greatest strength is the sense of scope it builds up. Though actually one of EndMaster’s shorter works, this story deals with events on a larger scale than most other storygames, following the narrator’s journey to ultimately end the world. It’s an ambitious idea to tell a story about, and EndMaster handles it very skillfully.
The pace of this story is lightning fast in the best ways. No time is wasted on irrelevant details, instead the story jumps straight to the action. In the early parts of the story, it focuses more on how isolated incidents and conflicts are dealt with. This scene-by-scene approach gets across well how time is passing, and by the time the story shifts focus to a larger more epic scale, the reader really feels like a lot of time has passed. Despite the fast pace of the story, it never feels rushed, and the narrator’s increases in power never feel sudden.
The Necromancer’s family is used quite well in this story. Though the Necromancer faces large-scale sweeping challenges like the attack on Nuro and the confrontation with the vampires, ultimately the final challanges he must face are intimate and personal. In a longer story, some scenes with his family at the beginning could serve to establish their relationship, but given the length of the game, the informational links work fine.
There’s always been something amusing to me about the necromancer’s initial state as a college rich kid slacker. He starts off being very human, with very human traits and failings and desires. This shows strongly in his initial interaction with Big Red (as well as his plan to murder him), where he’s clearly in deep over his head, and on the early stages of the necromancer path where he gets curious and excited about new abilities and prospects for expansion. The two major pathes in this game do a good job showing the possibles ways for the protagonist to develop from this initial state. The necromancy path shows him shedding his mortal desires and wishes and becoming a pure detached personification of death. However, the second path makes clear that this was not inevitable: On the hellbound path, he instead embraces the material traits of pettiness and cruelty, sacrificing his natural gift in an attempt to gain power. Despite growing in power to levels almost approaching those of the necromancer path, he never achieves the confidence and competence of a true necromancer, always grasping fearfully for more power and needing to lie and cheat to get it.
Tone is used very effectively in this story. The tone at the beginning of this story is very conversational and casual. This does a good job setting up the world as it currently exists, and makes the tone shift later in the work more impactful. On the hell path, the narrator’s tone becomes gradiose and arrogant, using sweeping language. The Necromancer path also uses expansive phrasings, but this time it comes across as genuine, as the narrator can actually back up his claims.
There’s a sense of epicness and fate to this game. On the hell path, this is true from the perspective of Big Red’s manipulation of the narrator. There’s a sense of inevitability to his eventual domination. It’s most true on the main path, however, which tracks the narrator’s journey to becoming a god of death. Serena’s intervention, as well as the narrator’s steadily rythmic journey towards power makes the path feel fated and destined. This is a particularly interesting theme, given that the nature of the choose-your-own-adventure format prevents anthing from ever truly being fated. It’s done well, however.
The focus on fate and the “purity” of the narrator’s death powers is what makes this game more than just a hack-n-slash kill-em-all adventure. Yes, you do conquer the world, but it’s about more than just conquoring the world: It’s about the Necromancer’s realization of his destiny and place in the multiverse.

Specific notes:
-The pictures with captions add a lot of atmosphere to this game. I’d be curious to know how they were created and where they’re from.
-I’m not a big fan of info links in storygames, and this story has a bunch right at the beginning. The information itself is well-organized and well-written. The need to include background information is understandable in this game, as this game jumps straight into the action and doesn’t have time to introduce worldbuilding in the traditional way, as longer games like Rogues can.
-Big Red correctly identifies that the narrator is “confused and curious” at the beginning of the story. He has the potential to be a great necromancer, but he’s not one yet.
-The protagonist’s isolation on the hellbound path verses joining the Dark Order is a good contrast between the two branches.
-In the fight with Quayle: “You see a small gray building that doesn’t seem to be suggering any effects”. I know this is probably a coincidence, but I can’t help thinking of the gray building from Tales from the Basement and SSS. Perhaps there is some relation.
-Aftermath is a good name.
-Lol, left hand demon.
-The toll that the narrator’s allegiance with hell takes on his body is a good way to show his corruption.
-The scene with the narrator’s father on the hell path does a good job of highlighting the narrator’s arrogance and blindness, while also showing his insecurity.
-The narrator’s treatment of his sister and father on each path is another way to show the difference in his personality. On the hell path he brutally tortures both of them for pretty much no reason. On the necromancer path he comes to an understanding with his father before his death, and faces his sister with respect. This shows the larger differences between the two pathes as well, on the hell path the Necromancer is petty, vindictive, and insecure, on the necromancer path he’s far from being a good guy, but his pursuit of power is out of something more pure and dispassionate, allowing him to reach an understanding with his family, even if their goals are unequivocally opposed.
-The epilogue to the hell path is quite well written.
-I also like the contrast that on the hell path the narrator is actively seeking godhood, but only on the necromancy path can he achieve it.
-Big Red is an excellent character, and used to full effect in this story. Of all the demons, he plays the role of a “true” archetypical demon the most; manipulating from the shadows and striking after being very patient. The reveal at the end that he has been manipulating events the whole time manages both to surprise the reader but also feel preordained; how else could the Necromancer’s association with hell have ended?
-It’s interesting that the ending where you side with the vampires in the hell path winds up being more positive for yourself and the world than the ending. I like that the game shows the opportunities the Necromancer has to turn away from his conquest on both paths.
-I like the way Mr. Demar and Big Red have inverse character arcs. Mr. Demar starts out as a pinacle of knowledge in the dubious side of the academic, but later turns out to be unable to handle the situations he’s created. Big Red gets offed in the first chapter, only to later be revealed to have masterminded the apocalypse in his spare time.
-I like that the Necromancer immobilizes the zombies using a nature spell, something he’s horrible at.
-Another parallel: In the hell arc, the Necromancer starts off alone and winds up surrounded by others. In the necromancy arc, he starts off with lots of allies and ends up alone.
-The jokes about all the necromancers previous failed attempts at magic are amusing.
-In general, I like the way EndMaster handles vampires in his stories. Like elves, they’re one of the fantasy creatues that it’s very easy to write in a cliche or irritating manner. However, the vampires in these stories are written in a self-aware fasion, emphasizing the inhuman aspects rather than the human ones.
-I like the inclusion of time magic. As this is a story about necromancy, it never takes center stage, but the effects we are allowed to see are intriguing and show the reader where necromancy fits in in the world of magic. It also makes a good and unusual challenge for the Necromancer to face.
-I like the reltionship between Catalina and the Necromancer better after they’re together. It’s not really clear why she changes her mind about him during the coutship stage, but once they are together, they make good partners. I'd like to learn more about why Catalina is so willing to go along with the Necromancer's plans to kill the world.
-The Ghoul King is done well. He makes an unusual and fun ally in the early parts of the game. His later betrayal makes sense given what we know of his character, and does a good job showing the changing circumstances for the Necromancer.
-It’s interesting that the Necromancer is in denial about his desire to kill everything for a long time.
-The scene where the Necromancer becomes the Great Lich Lord is well done.
-The Necromancer’s increasing exhaustion and lack of emotion throughout the necromancy path is a good way to track his gradually losing his humanity and becoming a personification of death.
-The final chapter of the necromancy arc is largely about whether or not the Necromancer is fully committed to his path of death. I like that many of the endings where he turns away are allowed to be positive, as this is realisitc.
-It seems odd that your mom says “as was predicted” regardless of what you choose.
-The final scene where the Necromancer leaves the world is quite well-written, capturing the sense of epicness and scale that the story has been building to up to this point.

Grammar
Generally good.
Mastery of Language
There are a number of sentence structuring issues, particularly in the beginning of the story. At times, these contribute to the conversational tone.
One thing that’s notable about this story is that the writing and style improves noticably as the story goes on, to the extent that it might well be deliberate. It certainly does a good job of illustrating the changes in the scope of the story, the changes to the narrator, and the changes to the world, as the seriousness of the events is mirrored by the language and phrasing used.

Branching
Not great, the story only has two major pathways. This isn’t a problem, as the story states up front it’s more “story” than “game”.

Player Options/fair choice
Fair choice is pretty good, the consequences of actions are well-foreshadowed. The player options aren’t great, as the story only has two official endings and a single choice at the beginning determines which one the player is on track for. This isn’t a problem, as the story states up front it’s fairly linear.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I played through the necromancy path when I first played a few years ago.

CONCLUSION: An well-written and entertaining game that brings an impressive sense of scope to the reader’s journey.

This storygame is one of the highest rated here, and for good reason. There are varying degrees of seriousness in the content at Chooseyourstory.com, and this one perfectly straddles the middle ground. It has enough matter-of-fact, wry humor to keep you chuckling, like the whole "most witches are rug munchers" bit at the beginning; but it also has a few moments of emotional catharsis, like (SPOILERS) the path where you can choose to not help your father when you are shot back into time before your birth. By choosing to not interfere, you undo your entire existence, preventing countless deaths, while bridging the emotional gap with your mother for one last little message from her, telling of how your actions have spared lives despite your nature as an emissary of death.(/SPOILERS)

Another praiseworthy trait of this storygame is that it has sufficient branching that leads to unique endings and exploration of very different aspects of the world. Obviously the two main branches are the demon realm and human/elves/etc, but it also further splits them up, particularly on the human side of the story, where you have several interesting endings to choose from. I don't want to get into too many spoilers, but you do have a few options to "do the right thing" when you become powerful enough to do the wrong thing. What makes these branches work, however, is that the endings that accompany those choices feel earned. They make sense in light of the world and the events preceding them, and they are rewarding in and of themselves.

Of course, the best part about this storygame is the casual disregard for life and morals that the protagonist has, and the fact that it feels more like destiny than malicious choice. You're not trying to snuff out life because you hate it exactly, but because this is who you are. If you make the right choices, you will find by the end that the choices your character made weren't really choices at all. You are the Necromancer.

Necromancer is never too heavy, but it isn't too light, either. It brings a little piece of all the emotions and type of thoughts you'd want to experience in a storygame, and mixes them together like a deliciously churned vat of ice cream. Add some good, comical dialogue and some pictures that draw you into the world a little bit, and you have the makings of what should be an 8/8 storygame.

This is the first story I read in this site when I happily stumbled upon it a couple years ago, and it was the one that got me hooked to it. And after all this time, I still find it to be the best and most touching multiple choice story I have ever read.

I took the first way back then, and didn't play the other one up until now as I was so involved in the story I didn't want it to be any different. Needless to say, the second way is as good and interesting, and it also explores more in depth some of the characters of the first one.


Now with the real review:

Characters:
I think that the most important thing in a narrative text are the characters. I find that good characters can justify a mediocre plot but that a good plot can't justify mediocre characters. The characters in Necromancer are all well crafted and have a personality, and as such they all feel like real individuals.

I can relate to the emotions felt by the main character, which helps in getting into the story and believing it, which is a big plus in this kinds of stories. In fact, I think that part of the special significance of this story to me is that I identify with it’s main character at some level. I’ve been there, and I’ve had those thoughts.

Plot:
The plot of this story is pretty simple and straightforward, it being the necromantic career of the main character, but it succeeds in what it tries to do and it's interesting and overall well thought out. As with most of Endmaster's stories, it is a "vital" plot, as it is about the life of the main character rather than just a single story in it, and as such it deals with a lot of the topics a life has (war, love, family, sex, death, etc).

The feel of politics, warfare and intrigue and the choices to make in such fields are also very interesting. The choices are complete (as they included what I would do in those situations) and they can change the outcome of the story substantially. Such things are also very logical, as what would usually work in real life is what works in the story. It is, therefore, realistic.

Another important thing is the ending, as it can screw a good story without too much problems. Both of the major endings are satisfying and well thought out, and some of the dead ends are pretty satisfying and fun too.

Consequence:
It is important for a fictional world to have definite rules that are followed all the time; otherwise, it is inconsequential and its choices become just random luck. This isn't obviously the case with Necromancer, as the rules are clear and followed throughout the story.

Writing and vocabulary:
The vocabulary in Necromancer is rich and employs accurate wording, without ever feeling distant, cold or pompous. In fact, one of the best things about Endmaster’s writing is that it combines this sort of vocabulary with a closeness with the reader and some sarcastic smirks that makes his writing truly enjoyable despite it being opposed to mine (which feels long, tedious and is like basically reading your calculator’s instruction manual in Chinese).

Technical details:
An especially gruesome typo can be a distraction from the story, and a bad layout can make it unreadable. This of course doesn’t happen with Necromancer, as the layout is fine as it is. There are some typos and repeated words, but those are minor, scarce, and don’t detract from the story at all.

Conclusions:
As I said in the beginning, I find this to be the best multiple choice story I have ever reed, although that is partially due to personal reasons. Analyzing it coldly, it may not be the best one, but it is certainly among them. I therefore give it an 8/8 (a 10 in my book), and I encourage everyone who hasn’t read it before to do so, it will be worth the time.

Also, thanks to Endmaster for writing such a masterpiece and giving it away for free. Your love for the art is truly commendable.

This thing is alive

Well written, sad. Good read for all the would-be liches out there.

Hello author Sama , luv u and your work ...kiss kiss xxx

I appreciate your work...pt2 possibly.. Its very epic and I really needed it... thank you

Beautiful Writing, I'd keep reading this for new epilogue, I love the arts, images it really added the depiction of what's it like, truly dedication and masterpiece !

intresting

Amazing story.

Ty for everything!

It's cool but i wish there were more endings and more paths to take.

Good

Thats it? The writers should really punch in a bit more effort in continuing it, probably a bit more interactions, but who am I kidding it was good, while it lasts..

Amazing, relatively short but great story.

Some of the dialogue was inconsistent and didn't feel realistic at times—I'm not referring to the content of said dialogue, but rather to the speech patterns and the way the characters talk. The worldbuilding and character development is solid and deserves endless praise, but the dialogue and descriptions could use some work for sure.

One of the greatest works of fiction I have ever seen, really perfect.

A very fun read! I started it just to check out the website and before i knew it, I had completed my first run!
I really appreciated the way the author approached a usually dark subject with an often humorous detachment. And wastes little time getting you into the meat of it.
And the interactions between characters is pretty fun!
At first I was a little worried about the "wizard's school" aesthetic but it's really more of a catalyst for the story than a primary focus and honestly works out surprisngly well!
All in all, totally worth your time! You could have been checking it out while you were reading this!

this was a very fun and nice game to pass the time

idk why but i feel like fucking up the chick on the cover

Amazing, loved absolutely crushing puny mortal kingdoms and creating demonic amalgamations.

fried by a lightning bolt.

It's SO good! I just feel like the cussing was a bit much. Especially since I do these CYOA stories on my school computer.

This story is simpily amazing! Play it for it is well worth the time!

The Timetravel Plot all the different Endings and Things you can possibly experience. This is the most complex and engaging Text Adventure i have ever played.

There is a lack of Influence and Agency but i realy love all the different Plotdirections that were taken! 10/10 realy made my Day.

Interesting, even though I didn’t get through much of the story. Lots of possibilities, and creator knows how to make Choose Your Own Adventure good.

Awesome story! Not a lot of choices (the wrong ones kill you within 2 story fragments at most) but even some of the "You Died" endings are very good.

Really good

Good Gane

Good Game

It's good. Minor typos here and there but it doesn't subtract from the quality of the content within.

I played a couple of different paths. Some had turns I didn't expect but was still a fun read. I didn't get the ending I think I wanted, I still ended with a "good" ending I believe. I'd definitely like more of these interactive stories.

Great!

this game was one of the best story games I've ever played ever

Help I LOVE THIS.

I like taking over:)

Several typos and spelling issues as well as some grammatical problems. Nothing that was too jarring but did break up the story.

A book that I read

Has one of my favorite unofficial endings that i always replay to because of the wholesomeness it has.

It was a wild ride and a lot of fun. despite being a "pure book" the paths you can follow make the experience so different that it really feels like a full game.

loved it

I Lord Otep, In my infinite madness recommend this story to those who hear the call of the dark. Answer my minions and let story of death envelope you.

Just takes some experimenting to get to the longer storylines.

It was pretty fun but could have been longer? Why not play thru each of the epilogue years? I will try the other options to see if there's a longer path in the story. I did the professor/leave city option.

good story eh dialogue

Yet again i was told to play a game from EndMaster and Yet again i was intrigued and impressed by the quality of it.

As always the world building and character building in the story is supreme, and again every decision is an ordeal in and of itself. (do i choose to go ape shit on everything or think about it a little bit? Do i trust or do i not?)

I enjoyed the story immensely i think i survived it all through sheer luck this time around as i would have chosen to go into the light (as it were) sooner. ( I think i would be quite bored without someone to share it with)

Thanks again for a wonderful ride.

Great, but simple story.

It was good, ending good

Loved this story. Pathfinder wotr seems the only other necromancy media where you can choose to end the story in a neutral way, as a necromancer.

Amazing story thanks for writing it

brilliant.

it's a cool story, very good worldbuilding and amazing writing!

It was pleasant although it would've been nice if the protagonist dead go had reappered

Loved the story, it had incredible character development, I may or may not have gone down the wrong path in the first go, but I eventually explored it all, the best was without a doubt the Leave it all behind with Cat endingf.

It's a good story,but not a choose your own adventure story.Since every choice besides the ones that lead to the epilogue seem to break the story and it's themes both literally and figuratively.

8/8 undead powerfantasy

This was one of my childhood favourites along with the Innkeeper!! I always loved the fact that there were basically no happy endings for the world and the protagonist.

i liked it, just the sort of adventure i was looking for
thank you

Quite good, really would like to read a sequel.

A fun afternoon read!

Not usually my chosen genre to read, I found it quite enjoyable. The story was straight to the point with each choice, no unnecessary dabbling in the middle, met with a gruesome end on my bad choices! Totally worth a read and see what outcome you can get from it.

Dint know if i reached the end but i could not get by a stage without dieing so i guess it is the end.

Amazing and breathtaking.
Best story I read so far.

As a fan of necromancy, this is the power fantasy I hoped for. Plenty of choices, plenty of paths and an amazing ending. Great work all around!

Speechless...

This story was incredible, although I wish that there was more, please create the sequel!

I've read most of Endmaster's major works before and it was about time I rate them. Necromancer was a particularly stunning work that made a huge impact on me when I was 11 or 12 or whenever I first found it.

It's funny because I'm not even as much into fantasy compared to a lot of people here, but maybe that's because Endmaster already wrote all the good fantasy games and the rest by all the copycats are just dull.

it was good

i loved this story

Hello! Enjoyed this very much, definitely felt very much inspired by the epic of Gilgamesh wherein Gilgamesh has to struggle with the loss of those closest to him, as well Epicurus' commentaries on the morality of gods. I hope to see more such thought invoking pieces of literary art in the future, and I wish you good fortune on future endeavors!

- Virgil

I am so lost in why my character died because i didn't choose to kill someone. Why would I want to start my character as murderer?

Enjoyable story. I love playing the part of the villain and EndMaster is amazing at making you, the reader, feel empowered. I read this after Eternal and while this book is very good, it's not even close to that one. There are a number of grammatical errors, but not enough to draw you out of the story. Grab a snickers and a bottle of beer and enjoy the ride.

Well it was good but I'm not much a fan of death till the very last part, yes he is Necromancer but that doesn't necessarily mean you must kill everything. as evident in the end, with no living there is nothing to do and if does that to other worlds, it will eventually become boring again.

I really liked the atmosphere of this fine piece of literature. Sometimes i wishes it would have "stayed" in context in terms of dialogues and monologues. But other then that this piece of free content is a great way to spend a cool afternoon wondering about the path of becoming a god of some sort in a fantasy world.

On my second playthrough I got the other ending ("Godhood?"). So I got to experience both sides

I don't know what I can say that has not already been said, but this story/game was absolutely amazing (I got to the epilogue on my first "playthrough", so that was pretty amazing).

pretty cool story

This was amazing! The gory bits and the story made my spine shiver with excitement! I love this!

Oh this was good. I really enjoyed the story, thank you for making this, and other stories such as Eternal, this is my second story on the website, (first one was Eternal). Your great at making stories and I encourage you to continue. Please and thank you for making this Story. -Sulf (Or also Ekho Blade, that’s my character alias I go by.)

It's is an absolutely amazing story but, in my opinion it is not exactly "on par" with rogues or eternal but still it is an amazing story!

Wow. This is the best one so far. A little gruesome, but the title is necromancer. I think it was an amazing game. It was challenging, and I'm surprised I only had to go back twice throughout the entire game.

Game over #4: I actually got an ending that wasn't me getting killed. Well, I did die, but came back as a vampire. It's not a lich, but it's getting closer. I'm starting to see a plan forming here to deal with the demons and vampires, the "good guys" aren't really a problem. Atleast yet.

Game Over #3: Didn't trust the succubus, got my heart ripped out of my chest.
I like this. It's a good story.

Game Over #2: Let the power get to my head, got sniped with a crossbow.
I'm making progress tho, it took longer for me to die this time! I'll see the end of this!

Game over #1: Killed by undead after the school was attacked by demons.
This might take some time, but I'm ready to go trough it, this seems like a great story!

Awesome Necromancer is the best

Ok I have played some of the story and this is by far my favorite, great mix with good amounts story and action. Best story ever!!!

It's really great... Good piece of work, thou I'm a little bit disappointed since I didn't encounter any *ahem*sex scene.. other than that it's great

As my first story on the website, this one really exceeded my expectations! Coming into it, the only real experience I've had with choose-your-own-adventure stories were physical book copies that had zero correlation with each other. So to read something that made everything intertwine one way or another, for example whether it stuck to the same theme of the story no matter what choices you made, was refreshing and exciting!
<p>
From the beginning, I appreciated the fact that the not-as-relevant background information was its own set of choices as opposed to it acting filler within the actual story. Not only did it not feel invasive but the fact it was set aside as its own choice made me want to continue reading through. Something I would absolutely pick up if and when I decide to write my own publication!
<p>
The story itself was very creative and took avenues I necessarily didn't expect would happen. My favourite example would have to be using time as a form of dark magic. In a world of necromancy, you would normally think of things more centered around things like the undead and the evil stereotype. This story not only encompasses time as a dark magic, but it also includes other kinds of attributes such as the inclusion of Devils (not my people, obviously…. o.0), wizardry in its basic form, and warfare which makes the story come together nicely.
<p>
The ending was not only a great signoff to the story, but it also opens itself into a much bigger storyline if the author ever decides to do so. I won’t spoil the ending because that would defeat the entire purpose of this review. However, despite the good ending provided, it was a bit unexpected for me for reasons I will explain in my critiques.
<p>
The critiques to this story are few and far between. As for the characters, I felt like the protagonist’s high school sweetheart could have been included more and could have been a good avenue to explore a possibility regarding the protagonist having to choose between his first and second lover. However, I did appreciate the fact that the absence of the high school sweetheart in much of the story wasn’t a huge anchor because it encompassed and gave reason for their presence in the ending. This was my biggest critique, but by no means was it a critical comment on the story as a whole. Everything else would be merely a nit-picky kind of criticism which isn’t needed.
<p>
Overall, I loved the story! I would absolutely recommend reading through all of the pathways given and explore all of the endings. It is well written, planned, and an awesome way to kill about 1-2 if you have nothing else to do! Well done EndMaster!!

Very good please make a part 2 i cant wait and whoever is reading this please read this story and you will fall in love with it i guarantee it

I saw the epilogue, all in all this wasn't a bad story. Not too short, not too long the you's were a bit confusing and there were a couple of grammar mistakes, still a solid story, I recommend reading.

I love everything about this!!!

a work of actual art,, brought life to my dead ass

I read this with a friend, we had a good time coming up with weird voices for the characters

It's an interesting story, certainly didn't expect it to go to the places it went. I've always found death to be a strange yet accepted concept, so reading this was both sad and enjoyable. Good read.

10 / 10

I actually love this so much. The trial and error of it all is frustrating as hell, but it serves to truly keep you stuck inside it as you try to get THE ending until 3 AM. Writing is shoddy in some places and just glances over years of activity, but the sheer inspiration and storyline behind it all makes up for it.

It was ok, I didn't really like it. Too short.

Very good, I enjoy reading about necromancy/magic and I love this story

This was a fascinating story with a gripping plot

Great story, loved reading it! Only the grammar isn't always perfect.

Pretty damn cool game. My favorite on the site in fact

Played through to the "true" ending, and after the epilogue, I wanted more yet. The little political game of conquering the world was fun and highly variable. I made 3 mistakes along the way, some of which seemed unpredictable. The story arc lasted over an hour and that's without doing much reading of all the dead branches [pun intended] on the side. This is definitely a recommendable and fun adventure.

Honestly this is one of the best games on the site the only thing i would add is a sort of dark hero path with the alliance against the demon lord to close the portal

it was free

I've seen this game recommended so I finally got around to playing it a couple times. One thing I liked about it is that it had a lighthearted touch - not the usual grim horror, even though blood and death and tentacles abound. It was more of a dark comedy.

It did seem like a lot of paths just sort of got cut off, with both choices leading to death, which sort of pushed everything into a more story-like path. But there were unexpected twists, and the nonchalance of the main character as he got more and more powerful in the face of death was amusing.

Though I did find one puzzling thing in the mc, as sometimes he would burn someone rather than raise them out of respect or because they were important to him, for good or ill. Yet another time he burns someone because they 'aren't worthy' of being an undead.

I loved it, there were a few discrepancies with Sinthinias name though
Good job author 9/10

SPOILER ALERT!
This was fucking awesome, I did get the true ending I believe because I settled down with Catiline, probably the best decision I have ever made.

It has taken me a long time to read this story because the thought of having no chance to complete things in a good manner is hard for me. I have tried a few different paths already but arrived at an epilogue finally. I enjoyed this story though.

An amazing read.

Jeez, grab a seat and a few bottles a bear and enjoy the story, it's a long one if you do it right. Remember ; "even the death can show mercy.."

This was a decent read. There were some errors in the writing here and there but only a few.
I feel like there was too much glazing over events with single sentence summaries, but that was the author's choice.
There is little change via the choices except for ending the story, but the few towards the end had enough difference to feel worth reading.

-Spoiler-
I can't decide if I prefer the longest route (God of Death, traveler of worlds), or the love route (where they both die together like some old happy couple).
Both are nice.
-End Spoiler-

I gave it a rating of 6. The writing was ok. It could have been better with more effort in detail and with more natural dialogue. I enjoyed reading it though.

The best book by far I have ever read

Amazing story I rated last time when I died but I finished the game this time and I absolutely loved it

The breadth and scope of EndMaster's writing never disappoints. Extremely awesome storylines!

Fun game and I like villain protagonists but that's just my cup of tea and I hope to see more like it

Wow Just wow. You really outdid yourself.

THAT WAS AWESOME! I finished by getting the true ending where I become the literal God of Death. And felt satisfied that my quest was over but had somehow just begun.

I feel like the choices were one-sided. Most choices would lead too death.

the ending was wack

Well while this is my first Choose your story on the website, this was KICK. ASS. I loved all the twist and turns. There were a few times where I got lost in the storyline, but other than that, awesome.

Eh, not what I expected, but not bad...

Really addicted. The story keeps me going.

Whooo. Finally got the true ending
After dying multiple times. Reminds me of skyrim, I played necromancer there too. Necromancy for life, baby!

This is worth it
It different from rogue and Eternal its actually better
End you are Genius

I t was v e r y g o o d

Revisited after years. As great as I remember

Wow that was long and awesome

I wish the "run away from the city had more options," also a little less writing, it was a lot of intense action, please keep it to three paragraphs max with a preference of one, only havig more during important exposition.

as for the "run away from the city", my though was I would get a chance to go through a redemption arch and being the regretful hero.

Recently i have beed dping these vyoa stories and this is the only one i have rated the reason being how i felt after going tru whole story. Even the real ending which i hoped it would turn out different left me really bothered and drenched out of emotions. The cost of concuring whole world imo was being alone and knowing that fact i dont know single person who would indulge in such thing, and then when i put my self in his shoes i felt completely broken. It really hit me hard in the end because for me this wasnt really happy ending imo it was very sad that person would give away everything just to be the most powerfull being in his world

i played all possible ways and i loved it!

This is amazing and I love it

heck yeah

please make another story on how and where he walked through the portal plz. 8/8 fantastic story I really enjoyed it I went through every single path and I loved it all.

I liked it a lot.

This has a horrible plot and you read SO MUCH and there are barely any choices and just this is BULLSHIT. Don't waste your time.

noice

amazing.simply amazing.

It's a great story. You can always wright a 2nd necromancer book, starting off wear you left off.

This is gonna be less of a critique and more so my scattered praises about this game. I cover everything included in the story to the best of my ability, so don’t read this if you haven’t read the damn story. To be honest, I’m skimming this tonight because I love to consume my Endmaster stories in one sitting. It doesn’t matter to me, because I’ve read and enjoyed this many times on different occasions. I’m mostly focusing on reference points.

---

I've played this many times and it wasn't until now that I realized that this game is only 70,000 words long. It feels so much larger. That's because of how mighty the story made me feel. Watching the Necromancer's knack for necromancy turn into expertise so quickly was pretty cool, and the ensuing megalomania and paranoia were great. It felt like a real life power trip! That’s cool. I’m a fan of magic and witchcraft in fantasy in general because of the potential for creative exercises of power, and this story is completely centered around this. I constantly feel like a mythical hero while reading this.

Yes, I typed ‘hero’ on purpose. One of the greatest touches in this tale is that in some of the circumstances, the Necromancer had the moral high ground. That’s definitely not normal for necromancers! Like when he slays the has-been fucking blood leeches. Those wretched creatures are posing as powerful beacons of might, but in reality they’re just human ticks with delusions of grandeur. A real conqueror of the mortal coil was all that it took to show them who’s the master of the puppets. The conquering of Aftermath was epic on both paths. I love the way that the demon-lich Necromancer channels spectral spirits, even though the ‘pure’ path is my favorite. Sure, a bunch of civilians died during the Nuro Incident, but we can just raise those corpses and blame their fate on those damn demonologists! While demon lich monster slaves were cool, I found the undead giants that the pure Necromancer gets to be cooler, and he gets all those spirits later on anyway.

Speaking of the Drozz Tribes, I love the Ghoul King. He’s a nice addition to the story and his character is instrumental to the turning point of the story. When I’m not paying attention to the invasion choice, I still tend to pick the Drozz Tribes over the Brot Kingdom because of how well that invasion choice sells GIANT ZOMBIES. That said, the Dead Dominion’s formation was a little quick for five years… but that didn’t harm the pacing in the scheme of things.

Back to the demons. Velzix and crew were an interesting and intriguing bunch. I like that the demon path has more characters that play a part, however now that I’m reflecting on this aspect, I do wish that these characters would have a more impactful part on the plot on both paths. The story works without many other personalities because of the egotistical nature of the main character, and I see the value in that, but I still find the story to be a bit lonely, even though that’s the point of destroying the world.

On top of all of this, I love the moment where the Necromancer can stop his own conception. That and the moment when the Necromancer can allow his sister to kill him were tragic. When given the option to make the Necromancer’s sister into a Hellspawn creature, this multiplies the sadness of it, even though the cruelty is so captivating.

The end of the game itself is fantastic. I mean, becoming the God of Death is phenomenal.

To sum it all up, I find this story to be top tier, and there are only two flaws I saw. The first was that there were a few moments when I thought the pacing was too fast, and the second was that the pure necromancer path could have used more characters. It started off strong on that front but it degraded after the capture of Aftermath.

8/8 game, Endmaster. This is one of your older stories and I can’t wait to see what you make next!

very short, like 1/10 weight of normal story, no choices, have only 1 "correct" line, with death on any others, illusion of choice.

Good

I would also like to point out that this story is 69k words long. I'm sure this has been brought up before, though just in case I found that funny

amazing

this is a very good story

It's like when you find "the perfect show". you read it and once you're done, it takes a while to really sink in. You're done. I loved it. Just as much as Eternal. I wasn't as speechless as I was with eternal, but I still sat there for a good ten minutes staring at the final words. "At last, death has died". I had a sense of completion and at the same time emptiness as the story I had been reading and walking the path of ended. I love your stories and hope that you continue making them. Thank you for making these epic tales for us to walk the paths of. I sincerely hope you continue and have fun doing it.

This is a very good story indeed.

very nice

This story is the kind of story that I love to read.

This is the best story I have ever read.

Absolutely fantastic! This should be the basis of a cRPG, or a hybrid like SpellForce.

The game is a pure masterpiece. Only Eternal is better.

Characters: Every major character(and a few minor ones) in this has a well-defined personality and backstory.

Plot: The plot is brilliant. There are absolutely no plot holes, the branching has zero flaws or repetition, and it is well paced.

Grammar: The grammar isn't perfect, but in a story this size it would be strange if it was.

8/8

Well I’m doing it at last. Necromancer was the first game I ever read by EndMaster, and is still my favorite game on this site, though I haven’t read Eternal or Rouges yet. I have put off writing this review on account of the fact that I knew in advance that it would be a very long one, and I didn’t know if I could stop myself from gushing out a 2k word review rambling about how amazing this story is. Well here we are at last, and I’m going to keep this as brief as I can.

Okay so let me start off by saying this game is a flawless gem written on parchment crafted from the fire of the underworld, and with a pen made from Hades skull, and even this would not be doing this game justice. If you have not read this game yet then FUCKING DO THAT RIGHT NOW! Out of the big three endmaster stories, Eternal, Necromancer, and Rouges, this is the shortest one. It’s only about 80k words overall, keep in mind that the other two are around 500k to 600k. 80k words is about the length of a warrior cat book. So make a choice, read this free masterpiece that will bring joy to your sad pathetic life, or pay for a literal pile of shit. Hard choice, I know, but I trust you will make the right one.

Now let me be a little more specific here. I have went on and on about how this story is one of the best things ever written, but I’m right now the main question going through your mind is why I think so highly of this story. Well I have many reasons for this, and I’ll do my best to explain them without spoiling anything.

One thing that I adore about this story is the concept. The whole idea of raising the dead, taking over land, and murdering everything in the entire world is just great to me. If I was talking about a normal story I would rant and rave about how I was let down that they teases these things and failed to provide them, but because this is fucking necromancer, it gives me all of this and more. This story expands everything it teases and does it in such a wonderful way that only endmaster could pull off.

Also it’s not all about the plot. The execution is also very important, luckily for me I’m reading necromancer, so that is covered in spades. I have stated this many times and I will state it again, EndMaster’s writing is fucking magic. May I repeat, it is fucking magic. The perfect amount of detail, word choices, and depth. Writing is something that one can not simply explain, for there are three sides to writing. There is the technical stuff, grammar, spelling, etc. There is the story stuff, character depth. Plot, ect. Then there is the magic. This is the stuff that is just so hard to explain. I don’t know what this is called, but EndMaster has mastered it.

In the end I could rant about this story forever. There is just so many things to love about it. Though I’m going to have to end this here. This story is perfect.

8 out of 8

Amazing as always =)

very interesting story with a lot of nice twists

It all ends so well. In terms of quality at least

What an excellent, interesting story! With each paragraph I was drawn further into the story. The images truly contributed well to the tale and every choice was highly important and weighty. No matter what end I got (and I played through this at least ten times), I was satisfied with the magnificent writing and progression of the story. The addition of background information on the world was a well-appreciated addition, and the way the author slowly revealed the reader's family connections and relationships was intriguing and well-crafted. All in all, quite a wonderful story.

Very interesting game, nice twists in the end depending on your actions and branching. I understand that the plot is it’s own and not the typical heroism against death and Necromancers but I found it nihilistic and boring at the end like if I also had no care for any character in the end just like the Main character which reduced my interest in the story because it just becomes about destiny rather than character driven relationships.

This game is a god damn MASTERPIECE from the literature to the gameplay to just the world in and of itself definitely worth the time to play.

Thats the first story i read on this website so i am not sur if others are better but i can say that this story is really good

Had a short story and died fast but enjoyed the ride :D

YESSSSSSSS,

Nice story!

thanks

MY REVIEW: WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS

Pretty difficult, but that's ok seeing as i like a bit of a challenge myself. My original ending was getting murdered by the demon dude in the beginning, because i over-thought it, and thought i might impress the Professor dude. It's well written, not repetitive ,and has some pretty damn beautiful death scenes such as the one where my "Body was charred black before i even hit the ground" really poetic. First couple pages and i'm like holy shit this motherfucker is demented, but then slowly but surely i realized its beauty in art. It is truly the feeling that you get when you see a dark contrast painting. You begin to feel for the characters, to feel as the characters. Like when the girl kisses you and brushes it of you get those flutters, like it's real, its so immersive and realistic, how you deeply feel for a lost love and still watch for others, even though deep down you don't want those others, because you need that person you have lost, plus the longful feeling when you've lost someone and all you want is to have them back through all means necessary, willing to sacrifice everything for one thing. Even though any coping skills, or any suggestions given to you by those peasants that mean well, but can't understand, pushing you to the edge forcing you to communicate with people who you don't know, and you can just write your problems away, use the writing to encase the nightmares, the thoughts, the desires, and the sins. Because then, in truth it is just a story. Then when you are at peace with it, and it lets you know, that ultimately its not about you. its never about you, and it never will be about you.

You get an 8 out of 8, for outstanding writing, which in all that is good and holy, pushes you out of your comfort zone, puts where you are you, and you don't want to be there, but you cant escape. then the story ends.

hey that's pretty good

Positively astounding storyline...

I enjoyed this story very much.

Among the best games of the century and possibly other centuries as well, Necromancer should be mandatory reading for posting on the forums. When you are don reading it, go read Death Song. Dreggnion can suck a dick, because this is great stuff.

Great storytelling. I was spellbound

I chose to spare the world, chill with my baby and pass peacefully.

Trash

It was very fun and had a very good and rich story

I really liked this story but I like Famly Man too

This was amazing. I can’t express how much I loved it or what I loved about it but it was amazing

Very good

This story gave me nips butterfly kisses honestly the best choose your own adventure story I’ve ever read I’ve returned to it over the years multiple times still great

wow. just wow.

So good incredible story

Is there going to be a continuation of this?

This is an amazing game. I personally really enjoyed the Hell alignment path (even though there was no epilogue) as it really showed the more twisted sides of the main character. I strongly recommend this story. 8/8

It was hard to get to the ending where you survive and do kill all but it was worth it and I hope you make more. As I would love to explore the multiverse and continue and see the possible choices.

dear writer,
thank you for all your imagination and all your effort. I loved the game a lot! I love how descriptive, detailed and long it is.
sorry for my bad English :-)

this was pretty good

Great game, love the illustrations.

The end was not what I expected. I thought I was reaching the Epilogue, but alas. However, I think this is one of the many things End's works are famous for. They make you think you're on the right path, but then, boom you're really not. Never underestimate the power of EndMaster.

I'll be reading it again in the quest of an Epilogue, of course, but thought to share the thoughts so far any way. As previously stated elsewhere before, I'm shook. This was different and nothing like anything I've ever read before. I've had faced multiple failures in the game, but this one was the most... mind-boggling. Because, hey, I really thought I was doing good. I cry. But holy shiznuggets, wow. Every character was so well planned, and I had a hard time trying to understand them or predict what could they possibly do next; or rather what would End do next. I mean, never in a million years would I have thought BIG RED WAS COMING BACK! Like, that was my most favourite choice of going to him instead of the other evil Professor (who later killed me anyway after approaching him when Big Red 'died'), but noooo! I'm thinking maybe going to him should be the ideal choice after all. Hmm.. next game play would tell this. I think my most favourite person whose death I cherished was Velzix. He deserved that. Smart of the sister to do that. I loved the fact he was so delusional about the whole rebellion thing planned. Idiotic and funny, but awesome of him to post Hellbreeds in the demonic army. That was wonderful, I loved it. However, I was definitely not expecting her tormented soul to finally be released either. End is merciful and kind like that. Speaking of the sister, the transformation process was painful. Mainly because of the dad witnessing it all. I don't know, the whole dad part had me conflicted. I understand why was it done what was done and that his behaviour towards me was totally wrong and unacceptable, but I think I felt the real pinch when he cried during sister's transformation. Again, the story does an incredibly good job and covering a wide array of emotions and plots. I felt anger, intrigue (esp the eager "what next, what next," confusion, sadness, and the feeling of victory (which was ultimately shattered, but anyway. You get my point.))I was especially amazed by the plot development.

(A tip for new readers: what you think is true is probably not true in 99% of the cases. You're in for a wonderful, hooking adventure.)

Great story

AMAZINGGGGG

Always loved the theme of necromancy, the romantisim of vampires, and much of the Dark Arts in Fantasy genres. Any this was no different.

I will say this, the characters beginnings we unique. But the possible ends were rather stereotypically evil. Or at peast the evil endings were, I’m disappointed though there wasn’t a route, not of deplomacy but of one that brings order not simply death.

MAYN THIS QUITE AN AWESOME READ

Wow... If I had to describe this in two words it would be simply amazing.

This is a great story from the villains perspective. Walk through the shoes of a talent-less nobody that finally finds out what he's good at at the cost of lives. Intrigue, conquest, high adventure, romance, this story has it all.
*Spoiler*
The upside being that you get to be the bad guy that get's killed and comes back like herpes.

Very good story

I thought that this game was very interesting and fun to play great job

Great story with many paths to choose. Maybe a bit too short though.

Second EndMaster story I've read/played through. I started with Eternal a long time ago (I think it was years, even) and although this one didn't seem quite as extensive (having only one "true" ending, after all), it certainly didn't disappoint. I sure hope EndMaster writes professionally IRL, because of not, what the hell are you doing with your life, man?

it was a great read i hope u continue to make more if u do please send the link i enjoyed this alot thanks

Nice.

This is seriously the best thing I've read in years. The only reason I didn't rate it 8 was because I'd be lying if I said I liked it more than Reese's.

What ever

I had an amazing time reading this the story was very fluid and easy to understand but also really (immersive?) My only problem was that there were some grammatical errors but i'm not really one to talk. Loved it :)

Bad ass journey!

This was amazing. i played over and over and got many endings, including the "true" ending. Love this so much please make more

Now THIS is why I come to this site. Sure, it's not the most professional of works (I've noticed my fair share of grammatical errors, and the writing is a bit forced at times), but when you take into account that this isn't written by a professional (and probably by a single person in their downtime over a period of a few months, *maybe* years), yet nonetheless has so many different paths with multiple paragraphs on each page, it's truly something to behold.
As stated before, the writing isn't perfect, but when it clicks, it's extremely well-done. You (or at least I) can really get into the headspace of the characters.

Ultimately, though, the reason I love it so much is because I'm an absolute edgelord, and upon getting the true ending, I really wished I was in the main character's shoes.

The true ending is great, and even some of the false endings are fantastic if you're into what they offer.

*SLIGHT SPOILER*
The demonic ending is pretty ridiculous and honestly pretty funny.
Damn you, Big Red!

*SPOILER - CLARIFICATION*
I consider the God of Death to be the true ending, just so anyone reading this that's played through it doesn't get confused. It's possible someone considers a different ending to be "true."

Yeah, I know this is a repost but I wanted my review to be linked to my account and forgot to log in the first time.

Great story, and great characters, would be great to see a second part where he goes to another world.

This was a little different from some of EndMaster's other fantasy masterpieces in that there was clearly one true ending. However, it makes sense due to their only being one truly successful outcome for a necromancer such as the main character, and each path is still very entertaining.
I liked both of the two main branches, but I preferred the Dark Order path because having my guy become an unstoppable lich dude was just that awesome. That is my own preference more than anything though. Both are quality writing.
One thing I enjoyed in both paths was how the main character reacted to things, especially in the beginning. His, "Did you see how cool that was! This is awesome!" behavior was indicative of him just being some college kid who happened to be insanely powerful, and it somewhat mirrored my own reaction as a reader.

I need a sequel of the epilogue pls

Awesome read. I highly recommend it

Good read, but far shorter than I anticipated. Felt truncated. Just as I was getting into it, it was over.

O. M. G. This is simply the BEST story I've ever read. Ever.

I went through all the possible paths about 6 times, and went through my favorite a few times more. Now I've gotta study for finals. Buh-bye! :)

When a friend recommended this to me I didn't really know what I was getting into, but it was a really good story. I enjoyed as a lot of the "endings" and the epilogue did a good job of tying all of the loose threads.

So what world to next? hmmm I really wish this were a series to continue.

Fun times insta death, tried to play it cool...

great story

very bad story delete it right now

awesome

good

Loved it

I loved it, but lacks interest in the beggining

I don't know what to comment ._.

entertaining. good read

this was such a good story line, i love this kind of genre whatever the genre is. it would have been great if it was much longer so as you could go through with the ending when the main character goes through the portal heading to other world and overtake them.
apart from that i was very interested in the story all the time,
please make more!!!!!!!!!!

Good shit man

It's pretty good. Lots of content and many paths to go down.

Wish you could have added alittle more developement into the clans. If you’d like more unneeded bs about your work you’re welcome to msg me.

Long time fan, Endmaster

This was an amazing story. I haven't completed all the ends yet, but the characters felt real, and the plot kept me going.

its perfect

Attempt number two and I got Death god! This story is one of my favorites. I love the choice to give up at stages on your path or keep going.

I played multiple scenarios.
Once I was evil, once good, many times I just checked to see what will happen.

Even though I haven't did all the possible options, one of the endings got me real good. (going back to do them as soon as I finish writing this comment)

Great writing.
I had a laugh many times!

Thanks for this. :)

This was great but the swear words were a bit of the problem.

Playing this was a very fun experience for me and incredibly satisfying

It's pretty lit.

This was a fun story. My first choose your own adventure. Short and snappy. Wished I could have felt remorse and headed in a more neutral path but I enjoyed the experience.

Nice story.

It was amazing. I'm a doctor so everything I say is true :)

fucking amazing, “Where am I going?”
“That’s up to you. The multi-verse is your playground, but remember that you are not alone out there. And if the time should come that you do tire of roaming, you may eventually join the realm of the dead and be at complete peace. Goodbye God of Death. We’ll all be waiting for you to join us one day.”

Really great story

Someone should make sequel

One of the best I have read so far.

Fk this was amazing. The amount of effort must of been tremendous! Such a fan (to be honest this is my first time reading a chooseyourstory text). Though it may be boring for you, i'd love to see what happens in the other worlds (perhaps encountering a second god of death or something!?). Meh who am i kidding... I'm commenting in 2018 and this story was written in 2007 i believe. Anyway on the millionth chance you see this, love the story and i hope to enjoy more :D

There was some unnecessary terminology in the very beginning that ruined this story for me. Everyone rated it high so I was very excited to read this but the carpet muncher bit was horribly disappointing. I hope your writing only gets better.:)

Amazingly written and a fantastic story, one of the best stories on this site. :)

My only real criticism is that your characters don’t seem to be doing anything.
As an example, because I know that’s a little vague:
“How could you possibly know that?”
Vs.
He arched an eyebrow, “how could you possibly know that?” His lips curled upwards as he spoke.
See what I mean, you get so much more context from the second one. And I know that you started to do it a little near the end. But, it made it hard to get into because from my perspective everyone seemed to be standing around like dolls and saying things with a monotone. Without a hint of emotion.
I just think you can do better and I hope you take this advice to heart.

Pretty good, I loved some of the endings.

this rocked! great story

what a story too much text didnt read won anyway :)

I wish there was more focus on the actual spells and the types of undead but it was still pretty good

Fun but the end made you feel like you lost not won. Was there a way to win using only necromancy and surpass the lick king?

This adventure is amazing, which so far I have gotten at least two good-ish endings. 10/10 would recommend.

I enjoyed your story. I felt it could have had more branches. That being said, it was filled with a good story world. I played through all endings I think. Typos are the only annoyance and even then, it is fine. Worth reading!

This is an AMAZING story. Rather than condemn necromancers as scenery-munching evil, you're a nuanced, bullied kid who wants revenge, betrayed by your fellow students and even the Order's pet Demon! Then you become a Planeswalking God.
That is the BEST revenge!

It was a good read but the following are somwtgings i think would have made it better:

1. Only one ending has an epilogue and is supposedly treated as the true ending. Though i agree dead ends and bad ends should be in stpries such as these, i think there were several that can be considered good ends that deserve their own proper eiplogues like the ending where you let yourself be killed by your sibling or you left with catalina.

2. The last one would be to give a choice with at least naming your character and determining the gender. As ive read all the routes, it seems that the story really isnt gender locked. You can be a female necromancer and nothing in the story changes. And this may be pointed out as something to support not implementing thisb i would also point out that in some sense the cutomization will help the reader identify and be more invested in the character and story. After all, reading you, you, you over and over and over again could be really grating and tiring.

very well written - quite interesting being on the other side

I amazing i feel like another one is in order

I really enjoyed it

Me again, I have to admit that the real epilogue was even more fantastic that the time-warp ending. Becaming the God of Death, wow. It was a good choose your own adventure, it was very good indeed. Kudos to the author for witing it.

I loved the time-warped end, with which we discover we were the Great Lich Lord all along.

I found this story truly enlightening, yet at the same time saddening. your family die one by one, the links to a mortal life ending, severed by your own hand or the hand of theirs. Death brings life, yet life brings death. Perhaps in the future we can see one so full of life his powers are unmatched. But that could be a story for another day. Beautifully written, 10/10 to the author.

A great storyline. Action packed, and has plenty of fun choices.
Yet, Necromancer feels like a full dimension of explanation is missing. The story resides within a world of magic, demons, and magical creatures of varying types. All of these things are left with little explanation of what they are and how this world works. How the spells are cast, or how the magical material is learned
If Necromancer were to provide some deeper meaning to whats going on magically, it would augment some aspects of necromancy and the time magic.
Otherwise this is an incredible story.

It was a dead end for me ;) Nicely written tho. I was thoroughly entertained.

There are 2 things no one should have dominion over: death and time. Knowing this, I somehow managed to get to this ending on the first try. And now we learn that the Necromancer is a planeswalker. I wonder how he will interact with Lilliana Vess?

Well done. Unfortunately I died in the story.

Only shit, Owch my eyes! >_< I been reading so long.

Anyway's my thought's on this is funny if you have dark f up mind, and when you see Big Red. He well makes you Angry, Laughs with joy, Shameful, and sadness.

Even tho, he has little to do with the story and just there for moving you through the plot of the story, I was wanting to hate him. But, I just can't, He was too damn enjoyable to be with and when I picked too killed him. He just a demon and they are all backstabbers.

But I was wrong, and he was actually a very good domain dude with a jackass shell around him. And I was like "Fuck... The only character who I was planning to kill, Is actually a great guy and asshole (In a funny way) Is dead, and now I very much stuck with characters who I hate the most..."

I was constantly on the edge of my seat as I ended up putting myself into the shoes of the Necromancer. I reached an ending I wasn't looking for but that makes it even more enjoyable as I now want to go back to the start and try for a better ending! 10/10!

Pretty cool, pretty cool

We played this in a car ride to new Jersey and we loved every minute of it! Thank you!

its a preeety coool game 10/10

dark destiny

This story.....is one of the best I have ever seen, there are so many different ways to go about it and I can honestly say that I have been entranced by this tale. I will not spoil anything but this story will leave you shocked and begging for more. I would most certainly recommend you giving this a try.

This was one of the best CYOA stories I ever read, heck, one of the BEST stories I ever read. 10/10, would play again!

This was by far the best story I have ever traveled through. I managed to make it to the point where I met a more than satisfactory ending. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone interested in war, but also battle strategy and betrayal. 100% satisfied and would recommend to anyone who can handle a bit of cursing and sexual topics.

I like the End

Gr8 story!

I personally enjoyed playing. I died early on, but Im going to go through, and try again. Maybe I can make some better choices the next time around.

I suggest you try this game out. Its well written, the storyline is amazing, and the attention to detail is through the roof. It was time well spent.

This was a great story that gives an interesting take on the point of view of a sort of antagonist who embraced his natural role in the world.

Unexpectedly charming game given the subject matter. The writing was perfectly good enough, but the story is what really made this shine. Definitely worth playing this through to the Epilogue!

I like these endings

good

Pretty badass. Love it.

It was a fun story, it's interesting to read from the antagonist point of view I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely great game to play and get to different endings

This is the best CYOA I've played yet. Even though I've only played 4 of them, it still is the most entertaining and intriguing to play. I don't even like reading because it usually is just not interesting or feels like a chore but this CYOA is good enough for me to not feel bad about when reading

One of the best games

It is really interesting and well fleshed out. A great read

King of Poland approves this story :) (the feels bro)

Pretty good. Pretty linear but there was a warning about that.

it was good :)

Wow. Just wow.
So many path choices and a really good story with interesting characters and places.

Hope there will be a Necromancer 2 lol

Ah, this is another one good read from this author. But epilogue kinda make it seems like this is just complex prologue of some Marty Sue adventures around of multiverse.

It's been ten years and even then, this was an experience worth the moments.To whoever made this, you did good. You did good.

Amazing. Magnificent. The level of talent you have is awe-inspiring. I am flabbergasted by how you were able to make me feel like I was actually living the story. Fantastic writing, I cannot stop praising you (until I am done writing this message). Good job.

I originally read this back in 2013 and gave it an 8. I've just gone through it again (getting the epilogue ending and a few others) and still stand by my assessment. It's a beautifully crafted story with a good mix of humor, romance, horror, and suspense. With a wider view of your writing this time, I am both in awe of your skill and puzzled by a certain contrast that makes you an enigma to me.

Sweet

MAKE ANOTHER GAME! PLEASE!

man this game be THICC

Well written!

Even though I didn't finish (and died), I see now why this has such a high rating. Amazing writing! Though some minor spelling and capitalization details were missed, the story plot was great. Can't wait to try to finish!

My god is this story good, I mean it’s not the most beautifully written but it’s story makes up for it, it’s much less game and more story but hey, I’m not complaining

fantastic game and story i hope to see a sequel!

Good story line, most branches made a lot of sense as to what was the 'right' choice to continue the story, but a couple seemed a little to arbitrary, but that would be the only significant knock against it.

I loved this story every step of the way (even though I got sent to hell at the end). This was the first book on this site I have ever read, and let me tell you it was a awesome introduction and if your wondering if I will try to get a better ending the answer is no way (being a evil monster is just too much fun)!

Read the whole thing in one sitting. I feel unhealthy for sitting for so long, but it was worth it. I'll admit, the writing was cheesy a lot of the time. But past that, it was pretty damn good.

Well done.

I got the vampire ending

Moving, funny, and sad all at once. Good shit.

The epilogue surprised me, and the story was a fast read too! I always enjoy tales that reward diplomatic choices, and this one was especially rewarding.

This kept me highly entertained for an hour. While there were minor grammatical errors I never bored. Thank you for a night well-spent.

An EXQUISITELY good read. In fact, I think I will make a sort of 'sequel' fan-fiction story to it. Do not worry, I will give you the respect, recognition, and what-not, that you deserve. Until next time.

it was amazing good story

Quite an awesome bit of literature, full of great twists and turns within the plot

I finally got the epilogue. This story is awesome.

Great story, I couldn't really decide which ending was better.

NICE GAME

Well, to be honest, it took me a while to find that "true ending" that was mentioned, but the ones where you sacrifice yourself are quite nice as well. The fact that the minor death god just felt fear when he heard his two lovers had met in the afterlife was GLORIOUS. Good read, and good luck!

Shorter than I had hoped, but longer than I expected. It was a good ride, and that ending made it a worthwhile ride. It was good. All the "endings" were pretty good actually once you got past the initial hurdle. It's a little hard to read all the little text under the photos, but they are worth it. Thank you for producing this for free.

It was a good story. I really liked it a lot.

i tried every choice even after the real end !

perfect, a masterpice

It had been a long time since I played through Necromancer. Man, I had forgotten how emotional the epilogue was.

very good

Very nicely written, not very linear. Bravo and thank you, it was good time playing :)

incredible the second best.

Fucking great even 3 years after I first read it

I enjoyed the content and the choices that were present. Some choices led immediately to a death or game ending which was a bit shallow, however the result was understandable.

I do wish that there were choices that led to an entirely different direction in the story, but I digress I have yet to try and create one of these so I have no idea how much effort that would take. This was the first story I read on here as well

It is him.

I wonder if (SPOILER ALERT) the death god that shows up in a few of the final choices of Eternal is really the protagonist of THIS story. It'd be interesting, and it would be as weird as it was if you chose to let your father die and (I think) realize that you were the first great lich lord. Funny how time travel complicates things, doesn't it?

Love it, really tickles my nihilistic bone , 10/10 would bring death to the world again.

This is probably my favorite story on this site. My only question is there going to be a 2 installment following the epilogue of the story?

Its A GREAT STORY I AM ITCHING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!

Amazing

A couple of small grammar issues, but what a fucking great story!

Holy! This is a spectacular story that has many endings. I even think that there are more then one good ending despite the title screen. I stopped when I got the epilogue.

This was fantastic, I have no words other than these.

it almost brought a tear to my eye.

I r8 8/8 m8

Nice

Loved it i hope you'll continue this story especially with that ending, then again i love anything necromancy related ;)

I chose the ending I would deem the "Alexander the Great Finale" wherein I simply die and let my empire fall apart due to infighting. Without conflict the world is boring.

- The Historian

I wish more story had gone on longer; more opportunities to make your choice, but, still not a bad story

Love the ending

I AM THE EMISSARY OF DEATH

wow, Just WOW.

i simply wish there was a sequel
cuz im so greedy.

Nice

characters could use more depth, but a fun read.

Wow.
The first time I wandered down the path of evil (as if any aren't) and as I reached the end I thought "This has to end poorly". Well.
Next as I wandered down the better path I enjoyed some of the dead ends. I liked dying to preserve all life or reclusing myself to live in joy. But when I got to the true end the jaunt through death hadn't become the anti-climax I feared. I hadn't imagined it would be so fulfilling.
TLDR: I liked reading this, and wish there was more like it.

Quality Content. Dialogue was shit though.

A touching ending.

Some of the dialogue felt out of character at times, but I appreciate there's at least one avenue online I can fulfill my necromantic dreams.

And chance of a Sequel?

Sequel!!! Plz i got best ending, this is amazing

Amazing story, I thought it was a good one

As always, I begin by saying I am not an author and have no idea of the work and creativity that goes into creating these stories. I respect and admire all who put forth the effort. I found this story to be equal parts entertaining and disturbing. Amazingly well-written, I was always curious what was coming next. However the characters seemed a bit...off. Maybe that was intentional, but it did hurt the immersion for me.

This was AMAZING. I was almost brought to tears a couple of times

Good Story and Plot From Characters to dialogue
To everything

Was very neat to read, however the choices needed more explanation before i picked them, Also the Diologe between people was very wooden or downright off compared to the situation.

Clearly a huge amount of time has been invested into this, which is how it should be. This story is a brilliant example of how to write a CYOA story. Even with no more than two choices for any given fork (as far as I've seen and I've played it a few times now!), there is wide variation, realistic consequences for the choices you make, and believable characters. The beginning is written in a skillful depiction of how a lot of teenagers feel in the World, and soon matures and progresses with time as you make choices. The characters almost without exception have life of their own.
There are very few spelling mistakes or missed words, though I did find some of the pacing of the dialogue and description a bit fast. Then again, it might just be because I personally abuse commas.
All in all, an inspirational story that's surely influenced many on this site, and for good reason.
8/8

Endmaster I bow to your skill in weaving a story that both enraptures and captivates those who start it. I found both the Necromancer and Eternal were enriching, Heart-felt, enlightening, and the emotion and personality you gave the characters in both made hurt when I saw them pass on.

8/8
Would become a god of death again.
Seriously I hope the story I'm working on is as good as this
I need to get more pictures like you did with this story but they are difficult to make Hmm anyways ya I've read it before but it was good to read it again I think the reason I didn't rate your stories before is because either I was too lazy to write a paragraph or I didn't have an account, either way, it has been done gonna go re-read eternal now.

A Great piece of literature! Epic Epiloge, if You embrace destiny!

It's nice though there were some errors (everyone does that)

Oh my God! One of the best Stories i red Thank you Author for this I feal Better than before.

I feel relatively inspired. Thanks.

make a number 2

Cool story bro

iv'e played this many times and its always awesome

The story had little, barely noticeable grammar issues but jesus was it a good story. The Ending was amazing, the choices made you think and all around it was just good!

I've read every pathline.. It took me forever.. you're a genuis and has inspired me to create my own

i have no words to describe how much i loved the story.


Thank you...

A story that I have played at least four times and the epilogue still makes me overwhelmingly happy. 8/8

Very cool. Reached the epilogue.

good

Good story. I feel like I was to directed, but it gave the right time choices.

I`m not one to sit and read unless forced or I find a really good book or something like that. that being said I found this to be very entertaining as well as time consuming. I visited every option over the course of 2 hours.

good game

Awesome! I have become more than I thought I would. Take the time to play/read this. The only critique I would give this would be the dialogue is smashed together. I got a little confused at times. But overall awesome job!

This is one of the longest and most interesting book on here. I made it all the way to the end! I'm talking about a fricking multiverse?!?!? Dude, I don't even know how much reading and intensive and instinctive thinking that was. Thank you!

Wow. This is the best CYOA style story I've read. I think the best part of this story is how the decisions you make affect the mental state of the protagonist.Your choices don't just change the course of the plot, they change the character.

Really interesting concept on how death has to be the end of everything and how you as the player ended up becoming the God of Death and bringing the world to the end. Good stuff

Well, I'm not that kind of person who needs to kill humanity to feel well with himself but I liked the end I reached living with Catalina out of problems

it was ok but i wish i had more options for you to answer

excellent story with villain protagonist

I didn't get very far before meeting an unfortunate end (let's just say I got a little too ambitious too fast). However, from the amount of reading I managed, it was well-written and engaging in true Endmaster style (I've enjoyed his other stories as well). I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys dark fantasy and aspires to be a Lich Lord. Who wouldn't?

Simply amazing. I would love to see this as a video game. I don't think there is one when the player is literally the ultimate evil. But man, I loved this. This is the second time I've gone through this entire story. Wonderful.

I've accomplished six endings, and have found the one that appeals to my personality in the seventh. Not unlike the youngest brother of the Deathly Hallows, I have embraced death as an old friend after living a long life in peace and solitude with my queen. Thank you for this brief respite from the mundanities of my daily life.

Really fun i would recommend it to my friends

This book was amazing i love everything about it the plot the characters the settings even the presentaion best book i have read 10/10 i even love the different ending based on your decisions just love it ??????????

This is a good book but it would be nice if you don't die In the end and become the ruler of the world you know become the new lich king.

This is the best story and I have ever read If the author tied he outdated very easily be a great novelist

This is a very interesting story, and I really do hope that you expand on the epilogue to a whole new story.
I imagine that with your own ability to write, you could do something amazing with this.

I have never read a story like this before. So many endings and such a rich story. There are several bad endings, fewer good endings and one true ending where I hope to see a sequal for. Please, create a sequal.

It was a very good story. fun and interesting

Good work

This Was Enlightening Thank You For Your Wonderful Stories Sir/Mam

i really liked that story even though i kind of failed at the end of it

It. Was. Awesome. Enough said.

This is... amazing. That's all there is too it. I got the ending where you stay with Catiline in the Vampire fort and I thought that was the true ending, but hell no! Walking amidst planes of existence? going to other worlds? This story is fucking amazing.

Eyyy...i thought when i talked to the demon, i would be able
to negotiate with him, then kill him and raise his skeleton and controll him ;-;

Finally i've finish it!!!!!!!!!

It was awesome.

GREAT GAME!! I LOVED IT!!!!!

great story one play through is done now i need to try the other, i'm quite excited

it filled more heart more then I expected, and saddened my extensitence more then then it should

I loved it, specialy the ending with the epiloge it has a surreal feel to it because everything else you read its always good wins! life prospers! everything is puppies and rainbows! Not here! Is nice to see the other side of the coin. I picked this one randomly in the fantasy section and I am glad I did.

I love it!!! Although...I need to repeat it again because I died.

EndMaster's stories never harbour a dull moment........ever.

This was an awesome read, nothing like becoming a god.

Good detail, needs more choices, however.

Cool, though I wish I could have made more decisions.

This is the best story I've read so far, I loved it, awesome read.

Even after playing this a handful of times I still enjoy the ride each and every time.

Hey Endmaster, I don't think that the website isnt registering my scores. I ranked Eternal a 7, Mizal a 6, and this an 8/8. I don't know where else to report this, but all my comments are showing up as 0/0. I thought it might be as feature but I'd rather report it through available channels and be wrong then I would let it be.

Amazing game loved playing as a bad guy for once.

I enjoyed it you personally added something I wouldn't have been able to imagine without the help of some people. Continue! Like seriously please continue?!

I really liked it!

It's a solid story. I thought the options were interesting, but I feel there was more left to be desired. Overall, a good read though.

Nice prequel to Death Song.

Epic, that's one word to describe this story.

I'm amazed by the death, sorry, depth and freedom of choice the story offered. You wanna be a Necromancer and raise undead? Sure! You wanna try dealing with demons and merge with spirits? Suit yourself! You want to become God? Go ahead and try!

What I am most surprised about was the typo, or rather its lack thereof. Typos might actually ruin a good read when too many exist, and thankfully, this story has very little.

I have nothing but praises for this story and that won't change for a very long time.

This is a good piece but it does not end in happy ness but you have to help quay

This story is absolutely fantastic. If you finish it all the way through to the epilogue it has a great ending and is very satisfying. The only problem i have with it is that there isnt more. It was long enough but a sequel would be awesome. perhaps (spoilers) after you become the god of death and reign the multi-verse, or a prequel playing as the original lich lord. Please make more. -- Jay

This thing went well but It always endes bad but it is a good read

It was good but I died

Amazing. I took the bad path, I think, but hey, even the worst ending possible is still pretty satisfying. You should try writing a book sometime, you know that? I mean, I would absolutely read a book consisting of the path I played through.

Note to Players: The first Choice you Make is Going To Influence the ENTIRE story.

FUCKIN AWESOME

A really good story game! I'm actually thinking of using this in a crossover, which should be pretty interesting. If I pull it off after my first fanfics debut and completion.

I "played" this once when I was younger, not even sure how long ago that was, but I remember so clearly the effect this had on me. I grew not only as a writer, but also as a person. I show my gratitude to the author of this beloved (at least to me) story by "playing" again. Thank you.

Great story.

One word, EPIC. If any one of these story branches had been longer it could have easily been a best-selling book.

I have gone through this story but haven't been able to find a storyline that went farther than chapter 2. I just did, and it was marvelous. The writing was immaculate and the plot was well planned out. Good job

Love all the endings 10/10 overall

Well on my first try i got sent to hell as my ending. I will defiantly be playing more to see the different endings! Great story, that was a joy to read and experience. 8/8

Wow! Played through this one twice and it was totally worth it. While its a little less polished than some of Endmasters later work, Necromancer is remarkably tightly written. I played through to both the final endings but felt that many of the other possible endings were much more poignant. Dark, poignant and funny Necromancer is certainly worth the time it takes to play.

more plz. lets see what happen when he's a god dose learn to control his powers then wait on a world watching mortals until another god comes and they fight or what PLZ MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing. I love the way that your edgy writing mixes with the classic D&D-type world.

It is an amazing game with a story that you could get lost in.

Wonderful read!!!! It has been relevent to my own journey from life to death. Thanks alot.

well, what i can say? it's well written..
there's one thing that i don't liked.. maybe i am wrong, than i ask sorry about that..
there's just one path that you can follow (again, i can be wrong)
i mean, you got two options, one of these options you will die, the another, well, you will live..
but i liked, i have become Death himself..

This was just fucking awesome. Incorporating the "multi-verse" ideea was the definitory element in making me give this story an 8/8. Great job!

Quite the interesting tale. Ahhh, what a would be like to become a god. Hmmmmm, maybe I'll try it out.

1/10 ~pornomancer was better

Waaaahhh, amazing story, my favorite so far, ended as the god of death, ready to take over the other realms(and combat other gods?) is a sequel in the works or is there a chance of a sequel(s)? That would be the greatest thing ever!

The first time I played through it, I pretty much completed Chapter Two and then just got an epilogue. I say 'played through' because I didn't think there would be any way to progress the story further, but then I tried again and finished all the way to Chapter Five. The writing style is excellent - descriptive without being needlessly flowery, with a twinge of sarcasm - and the characters are all so wonderful, becoming deeper the more I interact with them.

Also, for some reason, I imagined the Main Character (I forgot his name, sorry) as the character from Owlturd Comics. I think it's because he was willing to side with Cthulhu for a free mug.

Thoroughly enjoyed, was hoping to continue reading about this, but I ran out of Epilogue.

Pretty cool. I enjoyed it. I played until I got to an ending I was happy with. Took me like 2 hours.

Aww yiss! I love necromancers and lich kings and all that, so this story was an absolute treat.

Sometimes the dialogue feels a little rushed, and I've seen one or two typo's, but the story is much too fun and imaginative to really complain about that. A must-read!

Lots of fun, explore every option for the best experience.

dang, when are you going to make a sequel to this? this awesome!!!

I spent time choosing every path and enjoyed the best ending. 4 hours of fun.

Simply amazing thank you for letting me read this wonderful story for free and I loved all the twists and turns and how even a lick could find some manner of redemption in the end.

Warning spoiler








Are there any other endings then death winning/epilogue

Very well written as usual! Really great story

Man, this was awesome. I read this years ago, and it still is among my favourite stories of all time. Would be great to know what was next for the God of death. Thank you for your great work.

died with no hope

Love stories where your evil

Rather intense really, it was a thrill, would love a game out of it, really this is something that should be expanded upon, I want to see so much more from this world and from the characters in it. The end is bittersweet, as most great endings are. Fantastic all around.

Eternal my kinda story, Necro not so much partly due to its shortness.

I got the "good ending" mass grave bittersweet dimension walking... hell yeah!

I was way more interested by the other planes of existence than the only one explored in this story. For me the end should have been a new beginning. But a good read anyway, thank you.

My god, this is wonderful

Yeee i managed to go a little ahead! I'm dead again, LOL but i think that i could slowly do that, step by step, i'm sure i'm going to make it 'till the end!

Guess what? i'm dead, again..well not really death, just an undeath that. BTW i'm going to make it all over again. As i said, i'm a grounder. But not now, maybe in a couple of days XD

I think it's good, well i liked it, even if i'm already death AHAHAH i'm not famous to make the best decisions, am i? Well who cares i can try it all over again and i bet i'm not gonna die again. And if i am, well, i'm just going to shake it off and try it again, that's what we do, grounders doesn't surrender! #getknockeddowngetbackup

This... Wasn't what i expected- I Appeared to get all the endings- And the True one Almost made me Cry- ALMOST. I Kinda want to see a game based off of this... I Will deffinetly be Playing more of You're CYOA's!

Awesomely made. [Spoilers] My first run ended too early because of that bloody traitor GK and its ring, but then I couldn't help to explore all the storylines options. I really love your vision of the purity of Necromancy an Death, the unavoidable damnation of Hell and the mind-shattering, reality-wraping essence of time magic.
I like the inter-storylines references and also the fact that the initial choice is conditionning which storyline you'll follow (as... what kind of necromancer would choose a friendly demon over a creepy proffessor for its introduction to the dark arts ?).

The twist at the end of Hell's storyline is excellent, but nothing compared to the other one.

The True Necromancer's storyline depicts very well the steps of power increase. And the time loop attempt on you that put you back in the Time Nexus kinda imply that every choice that you could have made from then the first time has somewhat happened. And this theory is canon (!) When you consider the end you get by choosing life over death when your mother asks (by you having be the Great Lich King the first... time).


Bravo and thank you for this narrative experience.

Got great loch lord ending. 10/10

I got the epilogue! Such a great story! Absolutely elated to have played through it.

HOLY SHIT i got the ending with big red coming back and killing me. that was crazy awesome. time for round 2!

10/10 Bravo.

I loved this. One of the best I've ever done.

The branching of paths is good as well as the plot and setting. Very good CYOA game!

good not the best

Best ive played

I really liked it

it was the best i have seen

It was beautifully written, with little errors, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

The story was very creative and I felt that the ending in where you and Catalina die in the vampire kingdom, is the best one.

I've gotten the true ending again, another great work Endmaster

Great story, It's also a sad tale of how he is destined to have great power, but the power has a terrible cost that comes with it.

Loved this

This was a p god game.
9/9 would lick rears again

writing feels a bit stiff at some points and could use some improvement, but all in all i had a very good experience. really love stories about magic, especially necromancy.
thanks for this!

This game has almost to many ways to play it 20 gold stars is my rateing

SO good! I played this one for more than an hour straight. This is my most favorite stores that the author has made. I hope there will be more like ir.

Please make another part with different planes!!!

Great story and even better endings!

My name is death, and the end is here.

Great game. I managed to finish it in 2 hours and it was super fun. It was like a well written book.

Excellent game; wish it was a video game but text will have to do. Well done :)

It was really fun, I died before I got to the end. I think this is one of the best stories ever. I love these kinds of things.

Even though I had to be a guy, it was a pretty awesome story that if it was like made into a book or something, I would defiantly buy it. You've got an amazing imagination!

Was really fun and kept me interested

Just fantastic

Amazing Game! Very good replay value...

screw this there is only one good ending

Awesome story!

i would love to see a new part of this book in the "new world" it would be exciting.

I would love for there to a sequel with all of this new power

good

I don't know why I didn't read this earlier. It's awesome.

Found the story and endings to be rather enjoyable.

I recently remembered reading this story years ago and decided to find it and read it again. I was surprised at how well it held up to my memory. This story is a masterpiece with stellar character development and meaningful choices set in a fantasy world that is easy to grasp yet has it's intricacies and quirks. I really can't recommend reading this enough.

Wtf, YOU CANT WIN!!!!!!!

This is one of the best storys i had the honnor of reading this has so much potential and thats why i am going to make a game about it if the creator allowes me too that can be released on xbox one ps4 and the PC in a few years because this hase a intresting story cool character and many options i played this about 50 times even after i got the best ending so i can see everything this story has to offer thats why i gave this the highest rateing i can give

Wow... I must say that was truly an amazing read. Not something I would normally read, but I'm glad I stumbled across it. Took four hours to read as I basically had to read it twice (I went to hell hehe.) I loved the epilogue though. Leaves me something to ponder. Great story, Endmaster!! I look forward to reading your other stories...

Loved it

I've played all of your games before and they give me inspiration to make my own.

Awesome!

It was a good game and very discriptive but I felt like it was a little rushed.

Supper well written and enjoyable to read and play

MAD RESPECT! This playread is worthy of legit $$$, but instead, you've chosen to post your story here. I thank you for making my night! Kudos!

Fun time, very well written

Im making a game out of this like jesus this is one of the best storys on here but instead of just being a necromancer in the game you have multipal options either your character becomes a lich king or fights him and or fight velix or join him and vice versa

Awesome story, thank you

This story is perfection in every way, shape and form.

It was a good run while it lasted. I'll have to come back for a second try.

This adventure is amazing. It has twists and turns, and who would of thought that the way of death is so fun?

This is the best thing I have read in a long time. I highly recommend this. IT IS AWESOME!!!!

It was amazing

This was an absolutely amazing story

Happy little skeletons escorted me throughout the multiverse, and much rejoicing was had.

Thank you for this experience, my friend.

This is one of the best choose your own adventure story's I've seen in a while and I'd like to say that i really like your style of writing and how many paths you can go down in your bid for world domination.Also i would like to thank you for writing Death Song as it really contributes to the story.

This game is much more complex then my original analysis and has multiple endings, I redid the game because I felt being killed so early was a mistake... It was. This is nice.

This is nice, but I lost... :p

Super emotional and a hell of a story. Literally and figuratively.

simply beautiful. i was so obsessed its all i did for the past three days. my advice is, when you encounter the perfect ending, don't go back and do a different one, it will ruin it. hopefully you made it to the prologue. that was "simply beautiful"....

Great piece. Minor discontinuities and typos but what a nice experience. Looking forward to read more from the author.

Woah, this is great!

Love the personification of the characters, especially the main character. He seems like a real bad boy, which is ironic seeing as he is pretty much evil!

Wow, the story is amazing though i made some mistakes and it gone badly. In the end, I am happy with the endings.

it is spooky

I don't even know how i found this novel (i'm not a native english speaker), but what matters is that i readed it.
I don't know if you will ever receive this message but thanks for this little masterpiece, i really enjoyed it but i want to ask you a question, apart from the "dark destiny" and the "Hellbound" one what other ends are reachable in the story?

Well what should i write... Maybe that i would love a live as the god of death too :D This game was AMAZING! This is probably one of the best stories ever. I hope the author is making a continue of this game <3 so for everyone who actually read this: Play this game and you'll come a real God.

Thats a great game one of the best i have played

It was the best story what i'm played!

This was amazing. Thank you for this.

Loved it - checked out all the other paths but found the entire last one to be the best.

I had fun.

Simply amazing story and the true ending is just satisfying.

Simply amazing. Played it for a while while struggling to get a good game. However I just kept trying and finally got one of the endings, even now I am considering trying once more for another attempt

Interesting story

Truly a wonderful story. Love the way how each decision shows a different ending. Keep up the good work!

took me a couple tries but I became the lich king and died with cathrine awesome game and you should play this for sure

i enjoyed the beginning, but i felt that there weren't enough options to choose from

AMAZING

This Was An Amazing Thing It Simply Awesome

It has a great story an choices it is an amazing story

Amazing! I read through it multiple times to find each ending. Definitely one of the best stories I've read in a long time. It's immersive and makes you think in different ways. Kudos!

Awesome story, really made me feel for the character.

amazing! you have great talent for writing!

Amazing, totally lost myself in the narrative, perfect example of good game :)

a pleasure

I am truly impressed by this story. A huge round of applause for the author and his/her creative mind.

One word: amazing I loved the storyline and Endmaster has yet again proven why he/she (I don't know Endmaster's gender) is the best writer on the site I Hunterthemadman recommend this story.

FUN

Too many words

Make number two

I love the story

Thought it was brilliant and compelling. Perhaps a little too liberal with the word fuck though.

good story line lol I got the bad ending I think really dissapointing

Some great storytelling, it's been a long time since I have actually regretted making a decision in a story driven game but hell did I start rethinking what and why I did it. Sometimes the seemingly safe route is the most dangerous.

widked !!

Amazing really pulls you in and makes you want to take different paths

Necromancer was really great and interesting, died my first time but figured it out after. Love the way they word stuff in general and with just the right amount of profanity. Had me on it for hours finding out diffrent endings once i got the one i wanted. Descriptive and to the point while fun enough for only getting 2 choices at a time however they branch off and even sub branch. I'd say the only thing that should be changed is how many choices you have as what i would of done sometimes differed and have to endure the timeskips nmw still enjoyed reading and imagining definitely going to check out others from chooseyourstory.com

This "choose your own story" story was one of the greatest video games i have ever played (even better than witcher 3 wild hunt) this should be made into a open world RPG or a book series. It was that good.

Despite the limited number of choices and frequent errors in grammar, I've appreciated the chance to be evil.

This game was good, but not very long. I would prefer a little extra 'game' and not so much 'story'. But all in all a good story game.

I don't know if anyone uses this website any more but if anyone ever reads this I want them to know this is truly worth reading its something that is unforgettable,inspiring and great In every way I love how it completely wraps up the story and feels completely satisfying in every way so that it feels like it can be forgotten but will not be due to its great narrative and story structure.

Well, that was every minute of it.

Not going to write much here, but I spent a while going down different paths. Finally got what I consider the good ending and it was kinda sad to finally finish.

Holy shit that was amazing.

nice

amazing there was a lovely story and i like the thiought that went into it.

Great story! Looking forward to following the protagonist into new worlds and seeing how he fares in them! "The Cosmic Janitor" cycle, hah.

I played this multiple times, it is quite the experience. Definitely worth a play through.

It had some typos but it was quite enjoyable. It was a little short but most are anyway. A little bit of it didn't make sense but its alright. Overall its fine.

IT IS DA BEST ALSO I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT

Yep, that is a wizard portrait from Age of Wonders. (Photoshopped with another image of course)

Hey, is that a wizard from Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic portrayed in that picture in the description?

Just another thing to add to the list of things I like about this then.

Four hours of entertainment totally worth it

Every idea and action in this "Fable" is eloquently written and the amazing finish was as i said in the title enlighting

Holy shit that was epic.

Hell yes this is great ( heh heh pun)

nice

This would be so much better if you could take over the city and win, instead of being killed in a cave by vampires or by tentacled creatures while insane on your throne. It would also be much cooler to become the new "Lich Lord" and take over the entire world with an infinite army of the undead.

thank you.

This is the best story on this site that I have ever read. If this was published as a book, I would buy it without a second thought.

absolutely fan-fucking-tastic.

It's kind of a downer to know that i could've done better especially with the whole ghost telling me the future thing I looooove the way it was presented! If you have free time and want to kill it; Do it with this.

I think that I got the true ending... and oh my god. What a fantastic story! However, I do not have time to write much.

10/10 would read again :3

It's seriously great! This story is unique in the sense that it shows us insight into the dark side, and seriously, there aren't many, if at all, stories showing that being on the dark side can be beneficial as well. The ending also shows us that gaining your true role in life sometimes entails sacrifice, which is a plus because it reflects the reality of life and not just the atypical 'fairytale' ending.

Fun

it was probably one of the most interesting and kind of sad if you make it to the epilogue but still it was great

I really liked the story! The only thing I didn't like was that the romance initially seemed forced (although it was pretty short) and there was a bit too much swearing and the characters sometimes seemed too cynical. But overall very impressive. I liked the ending a lot, where he lets himself die

Woooow amazing:-)

My sister's son was laughing and talking about how cool it was so I had to see for myself. He was right. It was very entertaining even though I died stark raving mad. I will have to try another one of your stories. My sister's son is autistic so anything that has him amused is definitely worth looking into.

Glad took the ending of running off with my lady.
Bittersweet ending.

A very good story.

This was amazing i saw it was part of a series and im excited for more i went through multiple times and loved exploring the world you created and the paths you laid out my favorite was (Spoilers) where you retire with Cat and end up killing yourself.

Thanatos in the house!!! Finally did it!

Eternal life and minor necromantic powers. Could be worse, though I'm not sure I'll ever get used to that coppery taste...

Best story ever

While I don't know if I got the true ending it was a great ride and I like where I ended up.

I will always come back to play this story. The premise is just beautiful

Sweet epilogue on first try

I like the unique ending enough to make up for the lack of flexibility in choices

It was so good I hope there is going to be a sequel

I like it especily the endings

Finally reached the true ending. Really somber though

I personally feel that this is your best work, not because of the pictures, but because of how this is basically the start of every other story that you've written and how many different endings there are, the only problems were the occasional grammar mistake but they are far and few between and only noticeable if read more than once, or by grammar hounds.

Great read, good fun. Kind of depressing. Everything by this author is. (That I've read so far)
Good read, though.

Very well written and just as interesting

Unfair

I really enjoyed this story. The plot was excellent, I found myself going down paths that I knew weren't going to get me to the end just to experience everything. I'm certainly going to look at the rest of this author's work.

The story was really enticing along with seeing the different ways to end everything. Only problems were dabling with time magic and all of the plot holes it leaves in the story and how effortlessly the character delt with everything. Besides those I found it a wonderful read.

not bad, the english is a bit rough in places, but overall an engrossing story.

Excellent work.
Very well written with no loose endings and a truly epic history. Congratulations for your writing and authoring skills!

This was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm glad I was introduced to this story. Greatly enjoyable, and the little humors here and there were like cherries on top.

5 stars.nice twist

Pretty fun!

This game is awesome! So many different things happen, and it's interesting to see how your character changes. Keep up the good work!

Oh..Oh..Oh.God.
So...I don't even know.
But It's great.
It has a good story.

i died, but it was pretty good

ive been through every senerio of the choose your own adventure and considering it is my first "choose". i thought it was exceptionsal i loved ever sentence of it and maybe ill do one of my own but i dont think it could compare to this... masterpeice and i gotta say i loved the "real" ending it is pure just... awesomeness. Also if i could make a request of the author i would love for him to make one for fallout perhaps(the game) or another kind of apocalyps

I absolutely loved this adventure. Well written and filled believable dialogue. It leaves you satisfied with a great ending while also at the same time makes you want even more!

I f*cking died. Horribly. SO FUN! Note---agree with the dick-stroking succubus.

I love how many of your stories link together somehow. I won't say too much as I don't want to spoil things in this story and the other one where I believe this epilogue ties into. I just think it's so cool.

its amazin BUT BOTH ENDINGS ARE BAD

It was great. I always look for these things on the app store but I looked at this and found it was way better with the dark kind of story that you could control and relate to

Really cool

Its awesome whens the sequel

A fantastic, sometimes, moving experience, excellent writing, surprisingly deep lore and explanation make for a insanely enjoyable experience.

Awesome, I just killed a world and turned into a God of Death!!!

Not bad

me likey

Thus us by far one of the to give best things i have read in the internet

most of the choice and in death and i hoped there was different story arc like being a good necromancer or just quitting the job

I very much liked the ending. Worth the play and worth the read. Interactions with the girlfriend was cheesey haha

That was amazing i loved every minute!

Very well written, would make a great movie

Loved it. You quickly become absorbed into the detailed life of your would be hero. The immersion and plot are really strong here and definitely deserves an A +.

Awesome, I certainly recommend this, if you have time or even if you don't

Very good

Jesus the true necro ending was great!

it awesome!

I really liked it, too bad I died...

This was awesome! THANKS!

You're writing is excellent. I hope you enjoy writing as i enjoy reading your work

fun thanks

I am now the God of Death, traveling on the planes of existence! The multi-verse is my playground!

Story ends all too quickly in my opinion. Has potential to be amazing!

ok

I peed my pants it was so exciting

I enjoyed it...I may have forgot entirely about Serena, but I enjoyed it. xD

This was cool

Most Enchanting

Holy hell. Literaly...My mind is blown by how deatiled this is. Easy as it may be, this really pulls you down a moral road of mental breakdown and rethinking.

dark destiny

i love this story!! you did amazing work on this! thanks for this amazing story. ive done most of the outcomes and just did (what i think) is the main one and it was incredible! thanks again!

This... I hate this now. #^&!

This was an amazing game not only was it interesting but also fun to play.

I loved this game I think I got the furthest ending it was awesome

Awesome

really really awesome story

I originally read Necromancer as a guest it was worth the re-read

This story is AMAZING. I couldn't stop when I started.
There was one ending where I had to look at life and think, "Would this happen to anyone in the real world?".
I think so, and I wouldn't have a problem with that.

FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

This is the best story i have ever read!

it was a great story and i would like a continuation of it into multiple dimensions with many variations of like to mess around with sooo thanks for the awesome read

GAH?!? THE AMOUNT OF EVERYTHING IS SO INTENSE

FEAR ME

One of my favourites.

I don't even know what to really say... This is by far the best story I have ever played. The love and loss of it kept me enthralled the entire time, and my only regret was watching a love develop and die. It was truly a work of great skill.

Great

This was the first story I played and it was fun. It had lot's of plot twists that kept killing me. I enjoyed this story immensely.

The stoy was great the ending feel a little meh but still good.

I loved this game it's so cool

very nice. I was in need of something to read.

i died very fast but it was a great story

Enjoyable story, yet too linear for full immersion. To be fair the author mentioned tthis before starting, but it does not diminish the fact that we are all here to participate in an adventure and not just read about one.

More of a story than a game. Exemplary story telling as usual

This story was amazing. I think there should be a second part if there isn't already.

It was a beautiful personification of death in human form. i loved it and hope to see more like it

My Friend, this was the best story I've ever read, thank you for this, please do make more wow I just really loved the story on a whole other level

...Wow just wow
Even better on the 3rd playthrough !

Very much enjoyed the story. For better or for worse, I wasn't satisfied until I found the "correct" ending; whether this was because the story was SO compelling that I didn't want it to end or the alternate endings were unsatisfying, I can't say, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Epic

hmmmmmmm i took over part of the world why obliterate life when i can live with my wife and just die in love {hopfully my first girlfriend doesent find out

pretty good

There is no point in me saying anything.

thanks for the story ! i loved it !

Brilliant story EndMaster! This should be an 8/8 not a 7/8!

So good, very worth the read.

The twists and turns of fate. Magic of time,death,godhood. Plan strategic battle, one army planned to attack this so you should attack that. A abusive father,and those abusive kids. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made me sad that the actions i would have taken would have gotten me killed oh well time to try something else !!!

This was a great story!!
Good job

Wow just wow

really there is only one path, its kind of bs

I loved this story and i found it one of the most enjoyable i'v ever read and i plan to read more.

Good read 2nd part when?

Not bad

I loved it. Thank you so much for writing it.

awesome this was the first story that i ever had the fortune to read on this website. just the level of detail and creativity that was put into this is astounding. you go from a weak man into a god in the course of this hours long story. just spectacular.

as i am a girl, i think it would be cool to have a story from the sisters point of view

At first i prefered the ending where i get tortured in hell, but my new favorite is either where i die to be with Catalina or where i let my sister kill me.

what can i say it was fun lol

its best chooseyourstory game ive seen in my life

Geez, man, I'm from Brazil... See how far did your game go? Internet helped u out! Anyways, just wanna say that you're really good at this. Making those games, I mean. Nice plot, interesting ending(s) and all!
Hope I can play more of your games!!! xoxo

OMG im gonna do it again, my end was awesome, i liked how i cheated death, and it was funny when i tortured my dad, lol

lots of options it was a great read

it was good i have always been interested by necromancers and this did not disappoint i do have to say however it is not very interactive and was more of a story but i knew that going in overall very good

wow that game is so awsome

I'd just like to say its awesome again. Read it twice. Keep up the good work.

I am not going to lie. I absolutely loved this entire story. I went through exploring every single option and I just fell in love with it. Kudos to you sir. It was fantastic. :)

Loved the story. Excellent

Amazing

i die in this game? c'mon. you're serious right?!

Choose your own classtime waster

Still a damn good read

My head is literally swimming. This was GREAT!

Play it IMMEDIATELY!

Great story

Awesome plot and main character It was really enjoyable reading and making decisions in this game

I loved it when Big Red cussed me out

Feels like the story of how "Death" came to be.

Great story one of the best i have ever read

I am amazed...the true ending....SEQUEL!!!! I NEED A SEQUEL!!!!

This was my first story on this site, and I loved it! I haven't found the 'happy' ending, but I'll get there!

I especially like the world building. It's really impressive.

Fantastic story man, and that epilog? EPIC 5 star my friend. Hope you continue to write. Thank you for this story, hope theres more to come.

This is only my first play through, and I am most definitely going to try my hand at it again and see what other endings I can find. The story never dragged and was interesting, to say the least. My only real complaint was that it went far too fast for me; I never really got to know any of the characters. Other than that, however, it was well done and worth the time!

how a story of a necromancer should be

awesome storyboard, i oficially finished on the vampire ending with catalina but i did take a look at the other possible endings! just marvelous!, i got a bit sad that i didnt get the epilogue ending that you mentioned as the ''win'' but then i thought: there is no win or lose, just endings that suits our personality the best. i honestly got blown away by this story, its a tue masterpiece. if you can please answer me with another stories that you personally think ill like, it'll be my pleasure to read them!

I loved it

Darn it. i didnt want to go to the infernal dimension D:

Even though the style of the writing itself sometimes leaves much to be desired, the story is outstanding and comes to a satisfying finish regardless of which ending you end up with.

Death of a man and birth of a god. The gradual shedding of your
mortality is carefully unwinded and you can only enjoy it. Impressive
story and great photo selection - seeing Sarevok really caught me
off guard - thus, congratulations to the author for yet another shard of
silvery myth.

I liked it and tried all possible scenarios it worth the time. Thumbs up to writer.

This was just amazing I'm literally blown away by how great the story was! 10/10

Ironically, it made me feel alive again

Really deep, great characters and story 9/10

This was my first story. And it seems like I made it to an amazing ending. Will definitely replay to split it off and make a deal with the demon, to see what will happen.

I liked the variety of choices I had. Whatever I chose in the beginning clearly affected what happened later.

Awesome just awesome

Not a bad story. Could use more choices instead of just two per.

An amazing tale. I recommend going back and replaying it to see everything.

it was fun

best game/story I've ever played/read in my entire life. loved the writing and the dark destiny ending especially also very memorable characters and plot

It was fun, but I didn't like this ending which I got. There may be other endings than "fuck it all I quit" but I didnt want burn everything.

This is more story than it is game, but this will definitely be worth your time. The ending is everything I could have hoped for, and I am tempted to play through it over and over again!

Well how else are going to feel the immersion? Lol.

First damn page and already a lesbophobic slur. Yay.
I already deal with that shit in real life, I don't need it from a fucking game too.

This awesome and great the writing is great .

Great! I loved it! Enjoyed it a lot, even stayed up till 1am with a blasting headache to finish it!

WAAAAAAAY, too short

I lost at chapter 1 so many times that i thought it was supposed to end in only 4 pages. But after a long time I was able to beat the game and it was amazing!

I really enjoyed this little adventure. just a few questions. How man endings are there, and do you have any other work?

I liked it sooo much I went to rob a store then got shot 20 times by the police!

The story is so good. I have gone through both of the timelines and to tell the truth in the vampire ending it basically was so cool and the Lich King ending it was the coolest.

This was so amazing. I would love to see a sequel. I loved how everything is tied together in the end. More?

you suck

Great story

This was extreemly fun to play, after this first playthrough i'm gonna do a couple more, see how it affects the story. I would love to play more of these :D

Also ruling the city was cool, even though it was just a few years. No regrets

That was amazing and satisfying. I've been waiting the whole story to try and alter the Necromancer's path away from destruction, and at last I was able to reach an ending that is peaceful and rewarding.

Death and Love. Never knew they'd be a perfect couple.

Good is bad but good

an amazing play, each of the endings was unique and interesting to explore

Awsome game not sure if I got the "good" ending but I enjoyed it none the less you're a great writer keep the good work!!!

This is the best storygame I have ever played. Following a tyrant from beginning to gruesome end is always a joy, and this story did nothing to diminish that. The characters were memorable, the plot was interesting, and both the true ending and its alternate were interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the brief glimpse of this universe.

I spent most of my free time today following down all the paths and have to say the dofferent stories and ending were are superb.

Wow, that was fantastic. If they kept going with a story line, i would follow it like a cat on a laser.

I liked it

Great game and very intriguing, the best game I've played yet

Honestly one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever had the pleasure to read, if you're into choose your own adventure this is a must!

It was a really good story

amazing

I AM THE GOD OF DEATH. I actually got a happy ending. "Dark Destiny," I believe.

So he can rejoin his loved ones whenever, after he's done fucking around in the multiverse?

Great story, again EndMaster!

Would you write more books along this tangent? That or just more necro books. I like raising dead to hit living with blunt instruments. Muhahahahahaha.

Eternal Death...

Demonic Betrayal

That ending made me sad.

this game was so fun! a great experience! the story is engaging, happy ,sad and soul shattering! all of your choices affect your experience i have played this about 11 times and still come back to it!

For someone hunting down anything remotely interesting on necromancy, this is a godsend. I loved this even more than I did The Necromancer's Apprentice, which has just become my SECOND favourite necromancy novel. The only downsides are the lack of details on the gramarye, but a very well-done effort overall and a very engaging read!

Amazing story, epilogue totally caught me off guard.

Best game EVER.

Really great. Never expected what would happen. Took me hours to get the true ending

F*ck-ing amazing !

Amazing story! Tons of great paths to take, and this entertained me for 2 whole hours

I love it, played it about 10 times but it never gets old. An amazing read.

I really liked it. I'm guessing i was wrong to pick trying to take over the city after mr. demar died. The game ended. Not much there. I'll play again with a different path. I really enjoyed the story and rated 8/8.

Very good story. Well developed plot. Didn't expect some of the outcomes from the choices, which was pleasantly surprising.

Things to work on would be dialogue, first and foremost. Everyone had the same manner of speech, whether old, young, or dead, human or demon. It was often matter of fact and revealed things in a way that seemed unnatural. The grammar was also imperfect, with many run-on sentences. These two things kept me from getting really into the story. Regardless, it was very enjoyable to read. Keep it up!

The sadness of this story is that you had to stop. At the epilogue I may have had a tear in my eye. The deaths of some of the characters that you had gotten used to was heartbreaking, and it was quite ingenious to incorporate the idea that you are the reason for your parents meeting. Great game 10/10...now i'm off to spend time with my family.

The epilogue really makes you want more, I even went back and tried most other choices. I'm sure I didn't even get close to half of the choices. 10/10

A grim masterpiece of the darkest and lightest of ideals

This story was awesome and flowed really well!!! I enjoyed choosing my own adventure very much and would read more stories by this author.

Well constructed, fine story. Thanks for the diversion.

awesome

awesome, well written, interesting, a great story with many great paths. Truly awesome you should defiantly consider a career in writing.

awesome story, I ultimately got a bad ending, but boy did the plot unfold, I was very satisfied, keep up the great work!

BTW SPOILERS(i played this actualy long before this account and im just now getting to comment just as a side note that is)this story is amazing thou i got really upset at the only real end where you just end up in hell with big reds return but overall the whole thing is amazing and especially its emience size and detail way overcompensate for the sudden twist at the end.

Absolutely awesome, I spent hours trying to find the best ending.

I love this, more than any other work of literature, movie, or game. I have all ways had a fasination with necromancy and this satisfied that dream even if it was but for a moment.

nooooooooo I lost to fucking 'hell'

got the epilogue on third try

They say there is power in being the last.
Cool story bro.

frear me... frear death 99.99 out of 8

This was a great first CYOA experience for me, you are a gifted writer.

this story made me experience an existential crisis during the Epilogue... the ending is that good... or that bad considering I had an existential crisis...

truly detailed

Best fking thing ever. THANKS AUTHOR FOR WRITING THIS. Especially at the end. Continue please :), make the protagonist choose what dimension he should go next.

20/10 IMHO

I MADE IT TO THE EPILOGUE!

Wow, that was amazing! Took me about an hour to finish XD Thank gosh there was a back button XD

A little cliche but still good nonetheless.

This actually made me cry, when his queen dies because of his deathly aura... Tears were streaming down my cheeks.

On a technical note though:

Dislikes:

I only have one dislike, all the swearing and midly childish insults.

Likes:

I really liked the temporal element, using that made the end story so much more interesting.
I also loved that you had a good range of characters and enemies.
I was impressed by the amount of description and thought that was put into this, especially the end section; I can honestly say that it is incredibly difficult to make me cry, and you accomplished it.

Points i think would improve the story:

I think shorter paragraphs and more options would be nicer, but that would make it more of a game... in its current state its more of an elongated story. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind.

I understand the need to explain a bit of the background, but i didn't really like the way you did it... i would much rather have had a longer storyline that explained everything, perhaps starting during his childhood? Either way, good work!

Also, there is one thing i like about a story and that's an explanation. Where did all of his power come from? I can accept natural talent, but a more in-depth or plot driven reason would have been nicer. As well as that, i would have liked more details about the battles and tactics used, plus a more in-depth description on how he created undead, as well as a variety of undead (although, you did pretty well in this one)

All in all, a fantastic storygame, and the first one i have played from this site! Loved every minute of it, and i hope you put in the time and effort to create more; I'll certainly play through them!

it was pretty swag

Hey! You may wish to run your future stories through grammar check. Otherwise, it was fun.

It was pretty good

very well written story fun as well

What a beautiful story, good job!

You have done well. When I have killed Hades and become ruler of the Underworld, I will remember you.

Wow, awesome game. Detailed, long, and funny ;) Ty. For making this great story! Only down side is I would of liked a bit of combat machanics. But thats

all, thanks!

Read it and went down each path took a while but was well worth it.

Best read ever.

it took hours... but I selected every option...

This was amazing! Besides what I guess to be a few spelling mistakes and a few choices I didn't like to have to choose, it was great!

This is the first story I've read so I may be being a little generous but this story was really satisfying and enjoyable

Wow really good doing a reread

Dude. Get your grammer right.

*This

Wonderfully written and amazing in general. Get this stuff published man.

*nodding while clapping slowly*

I loved it!

This was an amazing multi-choice game, You really need to make a multi-verse sequel to this, Maybe one where you introduce more indepth use of different magics, And a more interactive combat/magic system and perhaps a more diverse choice of romantic interests, Maybe make it into a sort of epic with more endings, But i think it was a great game regardless and i think you should definitely keep up the good work.

this is the best story iv'e ever read, and I work in a library,this story is touching and exciting, beautiful writing, my favorite so far. 10/10

loved it, just really good and I except to have more of this great author

The God Of Death...

This game was simply... Majestic. The story ensnares the mind and the bloody magic behind it all is epic.

I won't spoil the ultimate ending but it is quite mind-expanding in my opinion.

Very intuitive and taking story ( didn't have to restart often except to see all the different ends ) and truly a masterpiece. I recommend it for everyone

I loved it, I've only discovered half of the endings, but so far it's amazing. Fun to read and it's got a very consistent plot. Nice story!

Okay, so at first I wasn't really expecting this story to be much. But, as I delve deeper into the plots and characters, I was shoked at the pure awesomeness that I had encountered.

This story. Is. Amazing. Definantly my favorite.

It actually took me mose of the night (5PM - 11 PM) to find the Win. I remember going through the whole entire story like the 31st time, upset becuase I couldn't find it. Then a light bulb lit up in my conscience, and I realized the one place where it would be. When I got there, I scrolled all the way down and say "Epilogue"

My hands were shaking and I was actually sweating as I read the last transcript and then moved into the epilogue. I have never really played such an addictive game. This, this story, is beautiful. I rate it 9/8 on the rating scale. It is without a doubt the best story (imo) on this site.

I highly suggest you play it, because trust me, IT IS WORTH THE TIME!!!

so good that I felt as if I was the necromanser

Incredible story - both paths were well-written and full of decisions that felt like they had the gravitas of changing the fate of the world. The tender moments were heartfelt and the epic moments were incredibly badass. All in all an excellently written story that I'm going to go replay whenever I'm bored.

That was fucking amazing man, bravo. I wish you much luck in any and all future endeavors

Great story, struggled not to shed a tear when I got the good ending.

I got the early ending with trying to join the dark order, but my character was one of the worst liars ever, and I did not even get the option to tell the truth. >:( This emoticon represents my frustration at this turn of events.

'Necromancer'...the story considered one of the best on this site. Is it really one of the best, or is it overly hyped?

I won't even bother going into grammar because the grammar is fine. If there are any errors, I didn't see any. The dialogue is ok. There weren't many parts that absolutely stood out for me in this story.

The real bread and butter for this storygame is of course...the story.

'Necromancer' follows the story of a nameless protagonist who isn't gifted in any of the schools of magic. Although he comes from a notable background, he just doesn't seem to live up to it. That's when he soon finds out that he has a special affinity to one particular school of magic...necromancy.

The idea of the story itself is very interesting. The lore and feeling to the world itself is portrayed very well in this story. You will very quickly find yourself immersed in the storyline. Each page in this story has a couple of choices per page but don't let that deter you. Every choice will greatly effect the direction this story goes in. Something that even I was surprised by.

As you progress through the story, you will even to begin to feel yourself become a god of death. Your powers being unmatched by even the most capable magic users. However, while leading an undead horde of soldiers is nice, it left a bit to be desired.

The main character is powerful, we get that. It is also hinted that he is capable of leading his undead army onto battle and pull out a decisive victory during his conquests. I was hoping that I could command my soldiers myself during these battles that I only hear happened. This would not only emphasize how powerful and intelligent the main character is, but it could also extend the story a bit with some action.

Nevertheless, the endings for this story are simply amazing. You will not be disappointed with how this story ends, and you will of course want to replay it to see all of the endings. I've gone through this three times myself, and I don't even think I've seen all the endings yet.

My final verdict for 'Necromancer' is a 7/8. It's even better than Reese's Cups®.

o so awesome, brotha

Fantastic!!! I worked my way through two different paths. I like the 'pure' path better but the 'tainted' ending was quite a suprise. Very well written, Many Kudos to Endmaster.

Wow such an Epic storygame. Though a bit linear it still is awesome. Personally I prefer the "false happy endings" rather than the true endings.

The best story that I've read so far on this site

This was good, depressing at times yes, but entertaining. Spelling and grammar errors here and there; along with a few cliches but that's to be expected in the process of writing a large story. It was a bit linear though.

...Finally got the epilogue, and also the hell one, but that's a spoiler that only the people who've gotten that one will understand, don't worry. Anyways, spent forever trying to get past the first chapter... I think it was the first chapter, anyways, I came so close to giving up this story, and I am so glad I didn't, wonderful plot, universally different endings(literally), one of the best I've ever read/played.

very great i was extremely lucky to play all the way through to the end without having to go back

cool

Liked the God of Death ending you get. I like the idea that you lived as a mortal, died, rose as an undead, gained more power equal to that of a god. Then top that off with a multiverse theory ending, and it makes for a plausible Sci fi god that I enjoyed the idea of.

Not many know this about me, but I. LOVE. NECROMANCY.
And going through this shit for hours and hours was nothing but pure bliss. Fuck being the good guy. Fuck being the hero. I want to storm cities with the fucking undead. And that is exactly what I got to do.
Thank you. SO MUCH.

Loved it.. Need more such..

Gooood

Good game

A little goofy to start but a truly good game. Becoming a God was interesting as were many of the alternatives. The whole thing kind of gets you thinking about the nature of life and death also what would one do with their immortality. Personally after tearing the entire world down I would probably rebuild the entire thing. Then leave my memoirs and an empty world behind as I wandered the planes.

Amazing this is the best game I have ever played text based or not thank you for making it

Can someone help me with this? I tried everything and I can't seem to find the ending :( it's been hours

This was nice and I'm really trying to unlock the other endings, so far no luck :( Will continue to play it till I unlock the true ending.

Beautiful, dark, and every aspiring necromancer's wet dream. Death beckons...

This was an amazing CYOA I hope to see more made me feel a bit worse with my depression though... Great fun though!

Fantastic epic better and better with every page

Holy shit this is amazing. My eyes hurt but it's all worth it. Truly amazing my good sir :) i wish to see this story goes and read how death will conquer other realms :D One of the best choice making stuff i have read. i expect alot from you good sir :D

depressing but well written

Whoa :D The beginning was cool and interesting, mid-ways it was a little meh, but the true ending and the epilogue... It was supercool >3<

I thought it was rather mediocre. Sure the story was ok... but it seemed short and well it left me sort of... disappointed.

I got the 'Dark Destiny' epilogue. I really enjoyed this storygame - it's well-written, dark and insightful.

cool story bro

Worth the whole day.

Awesome game man nice and long plus time consuming it would also be cool if u made another 1 plz think into it this was the best game I have ever played so far respond soon and inform me of any other games you made so once again awesome game and make a part 2 it was so cool e-mail me when you can

Nice story. Wish the story didn't end where it did though. It seemed like the story just started...

Very detailed story. I hate that there are only two paths...and one of them is clearly a bad ending.

Quite a nice game. I liked it.

This is very good! You don't have total control over your character, but it's AWESOME none-the-less. Definitely play it. The end is a bit... Un-expected.

A bit Linear but a good read!

Amazing! Mind = Blown! I re-played this for hours, until I finally got the ultimate God-ending.

Carpet munching witches, treacherous demons, a dalliance on the dark side of the force. This interactive adventure has everything you could wish for. The style of writing is more Piers Anthony or Roger Zelazny than it is JRR Tolkien. It's fantastic! Let the author of this be proud of what they have done, if I learn that they write books, I will buy them and suggest that my friends do so, as well.

I always have enjoyed the darker stories. This suited my interests well and leaves me feeling quite satisfied.

Ok i lied, it is totally amazing!!! Im still newbat the story games so i thought it was short but i got to the true ending and i loved it!! Great job :-)

I really loved the story!! But it was so short :-( i got my hopes up thinking it was gonna be a great adventure.

This was really good. An epic story with a little interactivity thrown in. Enjoyed every moment of it.

I always feel depressed after finishing your stories because I never want them to end. Don't stop writing.
7/8

I spent six hours trying to get the true ending and I can confidently say that it was worth it. Even after getting the true ending, I had to go back and see all the other ways it could've ended. EndMaster is a master of the English language and of writing, developing, fleshing out, and making me truly care about his characters. I was completely immersed in the story. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

I've played this story three times. Once in middle school, once at the end of highschool, and tonight.
I finally got the best ending tonight after 6 years.
I couldn't be happier.

So many endings, and so much thought and work put intoeach one. Great job, best story I've read here so far.

One of the best games on this website. Is there anymore stories like this?

Lots of reading, not too many choices ... But still a very ago native story.

i enjoyed it i like how you can chose your owe path and make a name for yourself.

frustrating, but REALY FUN! i hope you make more works of art!

Wonderful story filled with plentiful choices and paths. The "7" rating is for the grammatical errors in the early chapters. Overall fantastic game. It's obvious why this story has remained at the top of the charts! Thanks!

HA. I finished it.

Simply incredible. I suggest clicking that "Go Back" option at every single ending. Not going to say anything else, except express my respect to the author.

Was incredible. I loved the 'true ending' and it was a great time I had figuring out how to get the different endings! Please, give this game a chance! You will not regret it, I assure you!

First thing's first - Necromancer was great. I had a lot of fun playing/reading through it and I enjoyed the story immensely. I haven't experienced a lot of other "choose your own adventure" types of books, so maybe that's standard, but I did feel like I was being pushed towards THE right ending throughout the story. More branches and more actually viable endings would be sweet. Other than that, Necromancer is top notch!

Good game, went through and found a bunch of options earlier. Good options and paths.

There are only four words that can describe my thoughts: We. Need. a sequel.

To equstria!!

I loved the game, it had a lot of variation! ;)

But if I didn't "make light" of the so called "rape" and murder in the story, how could you have an excuse to continue to rage at the oppressive "rape culture" patriarchy?

Lol. "Shock value" What a sensitive little poppet you are.

The character's backstory is horrible (gratuitous rape and murder treated like a joke) and the opening paragraph was very disconcerting considering that I am a lesbian. Maybe get some good ideas instead of going for shock value.

my 10th gameplay..still a nice game though exist for a long time..I hope u come back and make it longer..more path..one of the best I ever played^^

Epic

I finally did it again! Got the "true" ending this time :D Awesome story

great story great game...I just love the extent of freedom you are given...in the end I just abandoned all n hibernated in that vampire tower!

great

Well, it's a very melancholic and depressing story, which you manage to pull it great! i love story like this! seriously. now will you excuse me as i go somewhere to enjoy the rest of my days in solitude and indulge myself in this depressing feeling.. 8/8

This was outstanding on so many levels, made it pretty far, at the end I lived in peace, very nice ending I got. It was very heart-warming.

good story, interesting plot and somewhat rewarding ending.
the problem I have with this story is that the dialogue between characters is extremely casual, and it just doesn't work when demon lords and death incarnates are conversing using slang and cussing like its nothing. the other problem i have is that there is no suspense or build up to major events, a character is granted with immense power, but is the reader is only given one line describing it or leading up to it, it just makes the power the character is meant to have seem insignificant. on a lighter note, it was certainly an interesting read.

Very fun. Honestly, it was a tad fast but it still was a great plot. I was dissapointed with my ending, but I still enjoyed this.

So fukken good.

I had a great time reading this. I really felt like I was part of the story.

Thank you thank you thank you

If I only can have 1 word to describe this: it's "HOLYS***". Author, I gave my respect to you. This is a classic masterpiece. You are able to completely immerse us into your world. This story is not just the classic good-vs-evil. But this story gives very deep-moral choices that we could even reflect in our life. The ending just BLOWS my mind. Almost like Shadow of the Colossus or Inception ending, just more badass. These sort of endings are the best, it's a sad ending but at the same time it's not.. more like being mindf*cked. In conclusion: Best- Piece of writing I've ever found in all of the internet. Please don't stop making these stories, you are a gifted story writer.

Really good story, and nice writing. I tried many endings, and even though I chose only two to be my own, I liked each one of them.
I admit some moments seemed a bit rushed, and choices in between big decisions would have been nice (we conquer, but we never get to rule much, or really shape our empire, or even relationships with other characters).
That aside, great game, immersive story... awesome job. :)

Absolutely thrilling story - Managed to burn quite a large amount of time going through this, and was very pleasantly surprised about the ending. Supreme work - My only advice is to spend a little more time with the conventions such as spelling errors, and maybe work on spicing up your language. Couldn't give you a higher rating - Every element of a good story is there. Bravo.

How long does it take to write something like this? And how do you sit through it and do it so effortlessly? My linguistic skills are almost certainly up for the task; it's the creativity and patience that gets me...

Pure Epicness!!!

Totally awesome. I happened upon this story by random chance after doing a little background research on a D&D Necromancer character I plan on starting this weekend in a game. The story completely hooked me. Went through it a couple of times to look at as many of the possible paths as I could. Excellent work, thank you for producing this. :)

Well this is badass game. I wonder if i can better necromancer... Or at least not lost by poor choices...

Great story! Very fascinating!

I liked it, lots of twists and turns that kept me reading for a while.

Really enjoyable and dark story, loved the ending.

I would like to no what our lil necro does after he leaves the planet. Could you write a second book or something? Preferabley involving "eternal" in it, the ending where lil eternal brings death to his world also. Death god was the necro after all.
I always wondered where those creature things came from. Wow, Quale reeley fucked up that spell if he opened a rift to the punishment dimension.

Whelp......that was awesome. I played this over and over and again, until I died every possible way. Worth the time it took.

beautiful

Very well put together. Highly done writing, if not a bit too much swearing for a highly powerful group of death raisers

This was possibly one of the greatest things I've ever read/played. You did the whole magic thing perfectly, I love how you showed his desires change as his power grew and everything. Great job

great exept one thing.... i died so remember if you read this be carful take risks but not to many but otherwise keep up the great work

one of the greatest stories I have every read just pure amazing.

This was probably the best "choose your own" game that I have ever played. I commend the author for this utter success.

This story was excellent. I really look forward to and hope there will be a sequel.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best text based games in existence. I would love, absolutely LOVE, to see it continued, one way, or another.If you do plan of writing more on the "adventures" of this God of Death, I've provided my email. I may not be much help with the planning and story itself, but I am very good at proofreading
.

Super creative storyline, don't know how you managed it :D
I liked the writing style and the numerous paths you could take to multiple endings.

Simply amazing epilogue.
Especially all the alternatives before it.
Kudos, author.

YES,finally got the best ending it took me the whole day!!This is the best game I have played so far.

Very good, it feels fun and has an interesting world,but it doesn't feel like it has enough ways to fail.

Fucking epic. Keep going like that. Really loved it.

I liked it! I grew up on D&D and it reminds me of how my friends and I played. Good work and funny too!

The best game i have ever played great choices story and with a significant challenge. yep please make another.

Ultimately awesome, its not everyday you get to play as the bad guys and its also complicated to create a story about playing one but the author did something great with this story.

good story. living and dying. its all irrelevant. well, not in Necromancer.

After making sure to go through each and every option in the story. I must say I actually prefer one of the ends without an epilogue.

This story is truly amazing The complexity keeps you going

this is absolutely amazing. not only did I make it to the end , but i read every other path just because I wanted more of this. This could easily be a first novel in a series of books. all i can say really is thankyou

i really really like this story. good work!

Awesome plan on taking a new path.

One of the greatest stories I've read in a long time all though it was fairly long for a choose your own adventure book, I wish it was longer still just because I want more xD

Great as always. Love the pictures

This brought me happiness. Very good job

good

A lot of fun, glad I read. Ended game in hell after Big Red stripped my powers. I wonder how other endings are? FYI used this for exploring interactive narratives for a Graduate Class, will properly cite where applicable.

After 4 years I still remember this story to every single detail

Best Game I Have Played In My Life, Online Or Otherwise.

Incredible story. Only to be expected of EndMaster, I guess. A must read.
Trying to think of something that could have been improved, but not sure what to say, really. Maybe the 'real' ending with the epilogue could have been slightly less depressing. I have to say that my favourite ending was the one where you and Catalina live in the vampires' fortress.

i felt like i was in final fantasy for a second

Played through again with the hell side, not a good ending! haha

I really liked the geneforge pics first time I've seen it out of the game itself.

Very good store, I got the best ending I guess, got the portal at the end.

That Epilogue....
that is all i have to say

I didn't want to turn the world into a grave yard. Even as comforting as he cold of the dead is, it's nice to still have a bit of warmth. I'm pretty satisfied with my ending. Though, I was quiet surprised that I killed myself, but in a peaceful way without any regrets.

I become The God of Death!I WAS DEATH ITSELF! 8/8 incredibly good. I recommend this.

This was my first story on this website. I spent 3 hours getting to the ending and I absolutely loved it. I am afraid to read anymore stories for fear that they will not be as enticing, entertaining, and exhilarating as this story. Better than any novel I have read to this date.

Fantastic that was really really good, wasn't expecting anything this nice when I came here to waste some time. :D

It was a fun waste of time. enjoyed it.

This story is unbelievably and unequivocally the BEST choose-your-story I have ever read.

As I reach the epilogue, I feel a sense of sadness as I part with the characters, and happiness, too, as they have finally been liberated. You have developed not just the storyline, but also the characters and the world they live in to such a great detail, it feels like I actually lived in one. The ~6 hours or so I spent in reading this were TOTALLY worth it. Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

it was a very interesting game.

Cool game, not a huge fan of some of the endings though. A bit of a change of pace playing the 'bad guy'.

One of the best games I played ^_^

I thought this was an incredibly well thought out story and an even more immersive world. The added lore and history kept me mesmerized for hours. For all reasons, this story should be rated as high as the ratings go, but the only reason I kept my rating at a seven was because I feel like the story would be much more satisfying if it were proofread and all grammatical errors eradicated. A story is meant to transport you to another universe, in a manner of speaking, and unfortunately when something as mundane as a spelling or grammar error comes along, one tends to be forcibly pulled back into our own boring plane of existence. For all other aspects, this tale was absolutely marvelous.

seriously, am I the only one who wants you to make a new one?

greatly written...well done

GIVE US A GOD CONDEMNED SEQUEL!
(See what I did there?)

You really should write a sequel. But on another world, in another universe and dimension; not in the point of view of Death. Instead, perhaps the rallying, nearly unstoppable force of life as it evolves, changes and grows. Or perhaps the omnipotent eye of Time. The Realm works in mysterious ways, you could likely view it from any standpoint, even Source.

The endings are amazing. The two distinct paths are
Quite cool and the world he creates is
Detailed and wonderful.

Fantastic story.

Perfekt i created an allianz with the gk killed the vampire remembered killed my sister and dad and step through the portal do please another one a part two where you go through the portal!!

i love that even death can die ending

The game was really good. The time loop really surprises me.

Well it is too good. Though there should be a little bit of censorship, r-18 sometimes. I finished all the endings and quite satisfied. I feel some of the endings are too cheap. I still think there 3 good endings.

well the vampire ending was to short. wish it would be longer. this ending is good ending besides the best ending.

Wow...just wow! Great story man and I loved the epilogue and the rest of the story had great build-up and the characters were excellent and all in all was a perfect story.

Missing words make it a difficult read.

I think is was overall very well written and thought out. Besides little grammatical errors here and there, it was awesome. It was like being a kid again: choose-your-own adventure books were some of my favorites. This was more than a treat- it was both a good story and a trip down nostalgia lane. The only reason why it didn't receive full marks from me was, again, the errors in grammar. Thanks for the read.

koschei49

Compelling storyline, filled with humour and some nice twists.

Loved it!

It was alright. Wasn't the best, but the ending I got was pretty good.

I'm really only writing this because I wanted to give it a better rating.

This was my first cyos since I was a teenager and I really really enjoyed it. I was looking for more bs ugly waste of time games in a google search and randomly thought to keyword choose your adventure and found this. It got me reading and I was so into didn't even feel like I was reading.. it was just so much fun! Thank you!

awesome

awesome story. Tho the right ending isnt my favorite, but that prolly just me.

spoiler alert, this should have a bunch of sequals with the multi-verse. maybe a prequal for the first lich king. it would be a real twist if he actually went to a diffrent world and you ecountered him. otherwise great story,

It as fantastic, well written and the story is just amazing.

Wow. I played through this multiple times. Took me a while to find the 'true' ending, but I have to say, the search was worth it. It became actually fairly deep towards the end, you deciding whether or not to go along with your plans...

Great game. Bravo, sir, and I must say, ENCORE, ENCORE!

Amazing. I do not exaggerate - this story is well worthy of being published.

Ended too soon... running away should not mean death.

This is the type of story I LOVE to read. It has many endings to choose from that you could read this over and over again and not get bored!!

Good game - less of a statistic system than, say, Life of a Wizard but a good game. A few minor typos.

You are an aspiring student with one forbidden desire to master: necromancy. Will you rise or fall? The game also pits you against demons and an army of Good guys. The text was somewhat absurd at times, such as capitalizing an entire (or several) words, and I did not spelling mistakes, but ultimately, it will not detract from the story.

I liked the ending. Maybe EndMaster will create a sequel where we continue this grand adventure?

This was beautiful. Watching me turn from a failed wizard to a fully fledged necromancer was amazing. I absolutely loved the 'true' ending.

Very interesting story. Recommended!

Loved it i felt so much connected to him i felt bad for having cat die..did i think almost all the endings..epilogue,time loop,killed myself (couple of endings) welcome to hell,and some others where died early in game..anybody other endings than these??

Great job. Really liked the amount of detail that went in to setting up the different scenarios.

wow, just wow. This is one of the best. Simply put, not much I can say. Just wow.

One of the best things i have ever read/played!

Great, I loved the way it evolves from a magic highschool tale to great epic!

*SPOILER ALERT*

I first got the ending where I go insane, Cat leaves me and then someone kills me and was all alike "That was nice but isnt there more?" I was (happily) proven wrong. I just loved this story, I really did and I still have ending to discover. The epilogue was awesome and will check out more of your work. You made this in 2007 so I cant even imagine how great your latest work should be if you are still creating stories.

What else can I say? Thank you for this "gift"

It was fun, keep up the good work Endmaster.

Nice!!! Writing is smooth!! Cool story too!! Unfortunately my heart was blasted away by Mr. Demar because I killed his students...

This story is both intriguing and very immersive, bringing together a deep and complex story about a man who ultimately becomes death itself. His development as a character is nothing if remarkable for even when he wishes there to be peace there cannot because all living organisms essentially fight death.

Welcome to hell necromance... thats how i finished, i will check out and see if theres another ending :)

really nice story.

Best story line of all interactive fictions I have read

IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO WIN THIS STUFF!!!

damn..this story was so damn good..its suppose to have a video game of its own..& have more multiple choice..I am looking for more story from u manXD

Wow this story blew my mind but I have yet to see what happeens if you ally...nvm

This game is amazing I have played through it countless time and found myself absorbed in the story every single time. It is a masterwork.

Don't fuck with demons, youl regret it.

Amazing and very interesting. I wished it was longer but who cares? I loved it!

Way more in depth than I originally thought. I really was immersed

Heck yeah guys. I didn't become totally corrupt with power and had a quiet ending with Cat. I feel pretty good. The adventure was fun while it lasted<3 Time to hang up the old mantle of death and go on a new adventure of epic proportions :3

Man that was good...
Especially after i checked the other dead ends
Mind is totally blown....
I dont know why but i liked the ending...
I never really liked long stories but hell I'm
glad i read this one

definitely recommending to my friends!
8/8

Died young before my time and inj great pain. It was a blast. REROLL!

Amazing story, felt i should read it again now i have an account. Keep it up dude ur stuff is excellent.

A truely enchanting story to be sure, my only regret, going to that damned graveyard!

Nice book, I wish someone could write a sequal for me to play through, it would be fun to be a god, especially the god of death for a while.

Cool

Although, don't like to play the "bad-guy" this game was quite entertaining. Trailed back and tried several other choices, which yielded interesting results.

died too quick

I gave this the highest rating, but only because I have gone through nearly every possible permutation of the storyline. I died many, many times, and one time through my character experienced a fate worse than death. I believe the only one I didn't find was the so-called "happy" ending, with the epilogue. It was very enjoyable to see the results of all my different choices, and the last ending I experienced felt like a happy ending, even though it wasn't the "win," It still felt like an excellent end to the story.

Great story, but unfortunately I died too soon by my own creation ;-)

great game, had a lot of fun

One word: Awesome...

Still a great game.

a really gud writing..I have been searching for this kind of thing for a very very long time..really hope u make a lot of books still..vampire,werewolf,and anything that have to do like necromancy..its really good..

A gem

It all happened a little too fast for my taste

I let myself die to be with me beloved, how does that even work? I am already undead

I am at a lost of words... this has been such a great experience. i was captivated by the whole story. thanks for bringing such a work of art on to the world

Pretty damn good game I am satisfied.

Great story please consider writing a sequel to this about the necromancers wanderings

A little too easy but still a good read

FINALLY got the "true" ending lol. this was a great game and a very well written story. i deffinately recomend it to anyone on this site

Amazingly well written, you should definitely try to get published, a deep story full of lore, good job.

Awesome story actually amazing stupid ring ruined everything for me 1 bad thing, the captions under the pictures are well hard to read

What can I say? I finished it, and it was very good. Want more but this story is done with. Good work.

Hey is there more endings than oneiu

To Damn Good!
Really like the way you explain everything and the extra pieces of history are also very nice.

Really well done. I liked the ending I was not expecting that. Good job! For all of the people who are wondering to read this, give it a try. It will keep you entertained for a few hours. And if you don't like it you can exit out of it.

More games like this please. Too many games with a happy ending

wonderfully amazing. not many stories where evil rules the world. I love this. Make more like it!

This was amazing. I normally get bored out of my mind with text based things like this. However, this hooked me in and kept me along until the very end.

wow.
just...
wow.

Awesome... ! it teaches you not to fuck with karma mainly :D, shitty deeds leads to shitty life !

I freaking love this story!!!

I like the game. It is interesting.

this sucks this was a terrible story

I choose many obviously wrong choices just to see what will happen,and when it started to involve time,i know some mind screw will happen,and that's great.
Keep up the good work.

Please please write a sequel! I wanna fight the time creatures. :)

I loved the ending i got. i loved the images and saw the story unfold and become purely epic. to all the young necromancers out there remember one thing. Even in death you must rely on love and family and trust no one else.

i dont know... it just didnt do it for me, i followed several different branches of this story and its paths are very linear... there seems to be only 2 set endings you can acheive that arent death, and on of them is a little anticlimax. meh. it wasnt bad though.

To start, I want to thank the author. This was a wonderful activity, and you truly are something of a great story teller.

I enjoyed this story so much that I have already sent it out to all of my DnD friends. Though none have finished yet.

I suggest this to anyone who is not turned off by some less than political language; however, I assure you that the language only stands to better the story, give you a better insight to the main character, and make the characters more real.

I also love all the times when...well, I suppose spoilers are never really that fun. Please give this story a try, or a dozen. I'm certain you will be pleased.

And, again, I would like to say thank you to the author. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and appreciate all the time and effort you put forth!

Oh wow! That was really good I must have spent 7 hours reading that story. Good job!!

Wow. I wish this could be devil oped into an rpg, or a movie, or something. That was Toatally sick! Well done sir, very well done!
I'm even new to the whole "choose your own adventure" scene, that was my first story. LOL. I suppose I will have high expectations for new stories!

Very engaging.

i loved this although i would suggest going over again for spelling errors a few times before publishing a new story and i dont know if there was an inevitable end or not but i hated the ending just because i fealt so connected to the character but great story telling

One of the best

This is an amazing story. Endmaster you are truly a story genius

Interesting. Very ambitious, but the writing style occasionally grates on me; a bit rough around the edges, and could use more descriptions other than the occasional walls of dialogue. I also generally dislike being 'molded' into a specific persona for a storygame.

To be fair, I've only gotten to one ending (and died!) so I may revise my opinion and my comment after I play some more.

Awesome!

Nice one story))

This has got to be the BEST Choose Your Own Path games I have ever played. After about three days of on and off playing, I finally got to the epilogue. I have to say that I look foward to a sequel, even though there propably won't be one. I absolutely love this one.
-The God of Death
XD

This is a good game.I can think of no improvements that won't massively change the game itself.

The story was pretty good, however the dialogue was a bit confusing. You didn't do enough separation, making it hard to tell who is saying what. Also, the dialogue felt really out of place. It was almost as if you weren't taking your own story seriously, which I felt was disappointing.

Brilliant, I've read your story about the bard first and it was definitely a delightful pleasure to go back and read about the litch who haunted his story.

I will admit at first I didn't think much of this story. It seemed bland to me at first and almost stereotypical with how it started off. I'm glad I kept playing and trying again, for by the time I reached the end I was just so bundled with excitement that I really didn't have any words. I say this because I stumbled across this page while I was researching Necromancers to further a plot of mine. This gave me plenty of ideas, and the way some of these endings wrap up is just so brilliant I think the author deserves a golden star.

needs more choices more action

This was such an amazing story i hope to see more like this. My favorite thing was the detail. Although it needs more choices that don't auto end the game

coco beans taste better than this shit

Pretty cool story but I think i had a bit to few choises.

it was pretty good

Thank you for this great story. It was very interesting and unpredictable. Strangely enough I never had to go back and choose another path. The ending in my opinion was a good twist and I hope to see more of your Choose-Your-Story writings.

Fun game only one so far i've felt the need to go back and find better endings. Really fun and interesting concept.

Extremly entertaining. Although at times i felt the random cuss word or relaxed fraze was used at times, it was over all a very enjoyable read. I wish to know more of the tale of "The Death God"

I got the real ending.
I got the epilogue.

...It was awesome.

After reading this, everything else might just pale in comparison.

This is my absolute favorite game on CYS. The pages are long enough, the diction is exquisite, and the plot is the most intriguing I have found in any story ever.
Too bad, though. I didn't really want to rule over a world of death. I'd prefer to make the rest of the world into my cringing slaves.

wow! i'm really enjoying it for i aim to complete it. but in order to do that i have to work out what's the good way of doing things and the bad way. even if it means starting over from time to time i couldn't care for i like these types of games.

convincing, impressive, immortal.

Wow I've never seen a better choose your story tale as good as this one

True, its more a story than a game. But its a great story. I love the multiple plot lines. If you get the best ending on your first try, go back and try the other choices. They are equally entertaining.

I really enjoyed this story. since I moved to nigeria and left everyone behind, I really mis roleplay etc. This can very well be some kind of substitute in a way.

Really great story, interestinf premisse and enticing characters. This was the first game i played on this site and i really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this story :-)
It allowed me to make the choices I would have liked to make in such a situation.
And heck, that ending was sort of romantic (the one in the castle with the suicide after watching the world)

The story... so damn good. Lots of paths to take, to explore and its well written out, excellent. The characters aside from the main guy are fleshed-out and lifelike. Say, what about stories containing 'Combat Command-esque' stories? Wherein you lead fleets, armies, or simply a company or a squad and the things you do affect their survival and victory/defeat. Please do.

A deep engaging dark story, i enjoyed it greatly.

Ye gods be merciful.

Nice!

Wish there were more paths other than being a lich. would be better if more is explained abt serena's motivation. still an engaging story though

I had another go. Even the second time I read the epilog I'm still stunned. The epilog is very touching. The entire story is very touching. Perhaps I feel connected with the dead too :D

Worth every minute of my time :-) and i sat long for this haha

Very interesting story. Took me a while to find the epilogue. A brave look into what would happen with total 'evil' victory. The variety of different 'positive' outcomes make the game worth playing.

Epilogue: Dark Destiny


This game is easier than any other games by EndMaster. I like how the pictures with captions are incorporated each page.

This is indeed one of the best stories here in CYS.

Fantastic story, played it many times, I enjoyed the majority of the endings, especially the proper ending which includes an epilogue - 10/10

Just finished my first playthrough and it did not end well for me. I look forwardvtp playing through it again. Great story and lots of direction to take it in. I just wish the author would change some of the main characters dialogue to reflect his growth.

I gave it a 7 and think I've found in it my next weeks entertainment. Good job, Endmaster.

Just a question. What time-era is this played during?

Again.. WOW! Entertaining story (especially for all us evil sadist out there)! However, I feel it could have had more options regarding several aspects in both the introduction to the story aswell as towards the end. I prefer your work "Eternal" but this was almost as good, your Awesome!

Amazing!

nice story, but epilogue is not good as some other endings.

best game i have ever played deep story it held my e so long almost 3 hours strain so i could get all the endings great game it's the best in my book and can't wait for more titles from the auther

It had a interesting story line with lots of diversity. I'll have to spend the time to go through most of the options.

What did I do Tuesday night? I became a god of death. That's what i did.

amazing game I like it I am the God of death now

This story was amazing. For the first time ever, I am rewarded by being evil. I AM God of Death!!

Holy shit im like allmost sad

its ok

fun

....Good

It was amazing. I loved it. I'm not to good at writing so it pleases me (shit now I'm talking like the MC!) that there are people as amazing as this author. (Took me 3 trys to spell author...)

wow this is really epic i loved it but can you tell me where you got that idea from the tentacle time monster stuff i think iv heard about it somewhere

I really like the ending I got, I didn't even realize it was there until I played this again. I like how I got to let the world live. :D

This was my first story game on this site. I played this before I had an account and I played it over and over because I died and then I finally got to an endgame that was perfect for what is really do, but I said what would happen if I did the other options? I went through the game again and again finding different routes to go and found a few different endings and the true ending. I must say I have gotten addicted to this site and it all started with Necromancer.

Awesome. Great adventure and story. Great concept and delivery.

After finding the imperfect ending, I felt far more satisfied about the true ending. I wish there were more hints explaining where the false ending was leading, but everything else about the story/game was amazing. My favorite game on the site

Great story,had me hooked from beginning to end

as i tend to lurk in the shadows i much enjoyed the evil path. to bad it had to end.

I really enjoyed this story, but I disagreed with the character several times and so wasn't really attached to the character, as this is obviously more 'story' than 'game'. Nevertheless, I understood why he did what he did, I just plainly disagreed with some of his actions. Great story though, and if this was a book I would gladly buy it. Not so sure about a movie though...would've been a bit gory I guess xD

i became the most powerful being of death in the world it was awsome

This was an incredible story. this is coming from someone who detests reading in general. the characters were amazing, the plot drew me in, and I loved all the smaller endings along with the final one. keep up the awesome work!

good story my first CYOA one but i liked it

there are somethings i don't like but cyoa stories seem like an absolute pain to write so
they main problem i have is that it's maybe a bit to linear it didn't feel so much a cyoa (because obv this being my first one i know what a cyoa feels like -_-)
but more a choose something and if you didn't choose the right one tough luck

i would have liked it if instead of it being oh you chose to do this dead end that it continued in a diffirent way and eventually end up back on the main path perhaps

Damn this story was pretty good

A fantastic way to make an evening disappear, but placing such an important choice right in the beginning is not something i approve of.

Wow, wow! And I thought dead man walking was the best story here. Sure, I wanted to become a big hero, but not a god of death, just sitting on his thrown in a landscape of nothingness. You've invoked my curiousity. I realize that there won't be a follow-up to this one, seeing it's impossible. I hope that he finally can meet Kat and Sarena. I love this story. I've still not overcome the extremely good ending. This has been your best. Later today, I will take another attempt at eternal, and give them a comparasin. Keep up this stunning work!

loved it

Actually ammmmmmmmmazing, a must read although it took me a while to get the epilogue its all you could wish for worth the effort and time.

omg this is awsome, now ima god yo

This story game is amazing and no words I write could measure up to the rare talent or the author's. This story was beautiful and all the endings were meaningful and well-thought-out.
I am eager to read more from this amazing author.
PLEASE KEEP WRITING!

A great read. Love seeing things from the dark side.

Brilliantly told story, there were a few grammatical errors, but nothing too disruptive.

My only wish was to have a little more control in some cases.

Truly a well made story this will leave a lasting impression for a while.
10/10

I think I might have gotten every ending... And I loved every bit of this. I really loved the 'Help your Father' ending, and was truly satisfied with it. God of Death... Hehe. Thank you for writing this, it truly was an enjoyable read.

It is an interesting story.

I just can't seem to stop playing this game even months after the first time I played it. It truly is a work of art!

Splendid writing and a splendid tale!

Awesome just awesome.. No words.

Awesome

True ending.
*spoilers galore*
Amazing.
Thank you very much for making this; I'll be checking out your other works if you have any.

(Warning, contains spoilers)
I did not expect this story to be as long as it was as I failed a lot in the first two chapters and assumed that I was almost at the end. In the beginning I seemed to only have the choice of doing evil things, and I know that I am role playing as this character that the author has created but I genuinely didn't want to make the evil decisions. In chapter 3 I started to enjoy the book a lot more, I didn't fail at all after this point. I enjoyed the strategic thinking of conquering this world. (Super mega spoilers of death past this point) My favorite part of the book, at least on the path that I chose, was when the Ghoul King (Or GK, which I thought was funny by the way) asks you to wear that ring to help you overcome the vampire kings gaze. I was torn because I liked GK and didn't want to think that he had betrayed me, but I ultimately decided that he had due to the whole teleportation mishap. I praise this author for offering choices that you really have to think about instead of generic one's that can really go any way without any way of knowing why before hand. Overall I enjoyed this story and believe me, I LOVE Reeses cups so this is saying a lot.

took me a couple days to finish but was totally worth it. i would recommend this to everyone. great read.

I have always wanted to know if I would be so omnipotent that I would destroy my world and become a god, and to know what to do next. Maybe I'll try to destroy this world eh? And people would blame you for encouraging me haha lol well anyways you have made a wonderful story and you should take it as the highest honor of praise since I myself and my friends who have read your story are writers who are absorbed to making fantasy stories such as yours, I hope you'll make more of these kind of stories to entertain people as I will or did.

I love this game it was awsome :D

this is really awesome!~ thanks for the good work

I REALLY enjoyed this as my first story! I also liked that I did NOT get the true ending, and still felt fully fulfilled by it. It completely enraptured me and transported me to a fantastical place. The dark overtones were delightful, and I LOVED that my character was evil. Certainly a job well done by the author!

Wow. To follow the hero's journey to world domination, absolute power or total devastation has been very interesting, if not absolutely consuming. I am awed by the extent of work, dedication and wit that is clearly present throughout Necromancer. This outstanding piece of work will surely bring hours of entertainment to whoever reads it.
I tip my hat for you, the author, for this is quite possibly the best CYOA I have ever read.

Can't wait for the next story. I love how the story changes totally based on a single choice!

Still great plot and deep characters keep good work up just work on positive endings

What the hell man you gotta have an ending better than the vampire one make one where you are the next big thing!!

This story is beautiful. Somehow, it is a tale of love,even in the darkest moments.

This read was a breath of fresh air. I've been bored all thanks giving break. looking up stupid little mini-games to waste time on. I eventually (and oddly)found this, a magical story of a born to be guy. A necromancer. I absolutely loved it! It was so enveloping and action with so much imagery and the ending (atleast the one I got(vampire)) was so complete.
I could imagine every scene and gruesome death. I just loved it, and incourage you to write more.

It's been awhile since I've read this in full. I have to say, your ability to really craft a plot is probably second to none. There were a few irksome parts (spoilers ahead), I didn't like how preternaturally powerful my mother was. I think it's rather unlikely that some random elf girl promised to some random elf prince would turn out to be a super-being. Sometimes I felt like the plot was artificially moved forward in an all-too convenient fashion, but for the most part, basically every twist and turn felt reasonable. Your characters were amazing and the storyboard was very inspirationally crafted. Also, I loved the way you handled the psychology of the villain, I'm not sure that I've ever seen it handled so well and I feel like you did a lot of research into it. I imagine that the bizarre way that the protagonist thinks is somewhat akin to how a dictator drunk on power but unwilling to relinquish his moral self image must operate. There were numerous typos and such but fuck that shit, honestly, there was no chance that typos to the extent that they were found could possibly distract from a story this good. Thanks for writing it.
