Grafting the Apocalypse

Tevis Ostron was supposed to die quietly. Bedridden in a crumbling quarantine zone, he watched helplessly as a sudden, violent surge of mana shattered the world of Dormetia, awakening subterranean titans from a forgotten epoch. But the apocalypse didn't take his life; it weaponized his lingering death. Awakening as a Necro-Grafter, Tevis accidentally resurrects Galgor of the Pale Crest - the greatest hero of a bygone age - to slaughter the first wave of beasts. The catch? Tevis can't just raise the dead, he can stitch them together. Soon, the quiet, chronically shy survivor is looting apocalyptic bosses to forge an unstoppable army of hydra-winged colossi and skeletal behemoths. Alongside his fiercely loyal best friend Mireya and an ancient, defeated Lich repurposed as his macabre researcher, Tevis builds a haven in the ruins. But Vordakul reveals a fatal secret the world's new magical system never announced: the mana surge will detonate the planet's core in exactly three years. Can a solitary, stubborn necromancer stitch together enough power to kill the awakened gods and halt the countdown, or will the world crumble before his chimera army is complete?
