Scourge of the Rifts

Vadim never asked to be the villain. He was just a cynical scavenger surviving the modern era until a courier handed him a bloodstained parcel containing the ashes of Dragos, the world's fallen hero. Minutes later, a Rift tore through the city of Novagrad, burying Vadim beneath the rubble. Instead of dying, he awakens in the body of the Gravewalker - the very monster who murdered Dragos. Now, Vadim possesses an ancient necromancy that shares his physical damage with his summons, making him virtually immortal as long as his army stands. To survive the endless hordes pouring from the Rifts, Vadim starts by resurrecting the fallen hero Dragos as his first death knight. Carving a brutally efficient path through the apocalypse, he loots elite bosses and revives them as loyal pets - including Mirela, a corrupted saintess who heals his dead with dark light. But with the world's top hunters obsessively tracking the Gravewalker's face, can Vadim conquer the apocalypse before his stolen identity gets him executed?
