I didn't mean for all this to happen. I never dreamed I would be in this situation! It began over a month ago, I was a poor fearful merchant. I searched for discarded items from seasoned adventurers and sold them to beginning adventurers for meager prices. It wasn't much, but I survived.
One day I discovered a gruesome sight, a dead necromancer. It frightened me, and I never liked the undead. It's horrible and disgusting. The body seemed to be stripped of all its valuables. I found a black book nearby. I should've left it, but I didn't know, how could I? I started reading it. Time around me seemed to speed up, flying birds whizzed by, the light of day came and went. The book took hold of me with an uncontrollable urge to keep reading no matter what. My head filled with arcane knowledge, but how? I don't know, since I never had an education.
The book vanished as I finished reading it. I estimate at least a week went by without food or water. I became thin and looked visibly aged. Thats when I became an adventurer myself, a necromancer. I used my new powers to raise my first skeleton from the remains of the dead necromancer. It should have horrified me, but I discovered it is in my nature now. Fear left me. Over the next month, I grew in strength and power as I went through the lands, slaying monsters, collecting gold, and finishing quests from different people. I even purchased a powerful wand from a sorceress to extend my powers over the undead. I also somehow acquired a lady with a bow that follows me with such a loyalty. I've asked her name plenty enough, but her name still escapes me.
I now find myself facing a closed door with hundreds of slain monsters behind me in a giant maze I traversed with my undead unit of six and the bow lady. I should prepare myself. With all that has happened, I now feel something I have not felt for a month, fear. I am told a demon called Andariel resides behind this door. I hear its blood curdling warning in my head. I remember that dead necromancer from a month ago. I wonder if the next necromancer will use my dead bones for his skeleton army.
The door opened, why did that, cursed bow lady, open the door at this moment! I wasn't ready yet! The very tall demon walked through.
