This part should be found at the beginning of a book generally, but this time that would have been impossible. So many people supported me with their comments, advices and kind words that it would be impossible to list them all. Nevertheless, I shall try.
First, I have to thank Mobal. He was the Game Master who made this book possible in the first place by DM-ing to our party. He was also one of my editors, and he even supported me as a patron.
‘Beldrak’ and ‘Jim’ were my fellow players, who shaped this story with their acts and words, without them this webnovel couldn’t exist. Thanks are obviously due to them.
M., A. and B. were great help in ironing out flaws in the first drafts, and they also helped me a lot with storyboarding whenever I entered uncharted territory.
Specifically M. made my drafts much more readable and intelligible, and their comments on my grammar and plotholes made me laugh every time.
A. read my book chapter by chapter and their questions highlighted many plotholes and badly written scenes.
B. gave me very valuable advice to shape the story, it was thanks to them that the 2nd and 3rd chapters were written at all.
Cloud Chaos hunted my typos relentlessly. They also helped me a lot to improve on the style and the story. The amount effort and time they spent on helping me is simply staggering, and they still continue their sisyphean quest to fix my jumbled tenses.
The Writing Birb was one of my main critiques in the beginning, and it is thanks to their advice that I have written the 0th chapter. Consequently, without them the 18-27 chapters wouldn’t exist either, or at least not in their current form.
Librarysmiles and Odoanetheus are two commenters who have been cheering me up with their witty comments for weeks and they also made useful suggestions.

Other commenters also helped me to better my story. These include, but are not limited to Ararara, NickLStories, FantasyBliss, Red Nuru, Elecham, Gwunders, Sarius, Midnightrainbow, DerpyBunny2020, Chevalier_92, LostCat99, Mal Chants, Cocelean, AngrySeme. They all gave me very valuable advice that helped this book to become better.
Last, but not least, every one of you who read, commented or rated my story have my undying gratitude. I am seriously thankful to you all, and if I wouldn’t be the greedy penny-pincher I am, I would probably buy you a beer or something.
So long and thank you for the reads.

Heather the Necromancer
Heather was a normal girl living in an abnormal world. When the visitors came, they struggled to understand humans and their ways. It was through video games they began to learn, and then they came up with a plan. They created a virtual world of magic and dragons where people could translate and become parts of the game. Through this world, they watched and learned, growing in their understanding of us. She knew little about it, only what came across the occasional tweet or blog post. She knew that people went into the world known as New Eden because they volunteered. She also knew that rarely other people were forcefully drawn in; these were referred to as the chosen. Heather didn’t pay much attention to it all. For most of the world, things went on like they always had. She had classes to attend and boys to tease, and her cell phone was her world. That was until she woke in a forest clearing and realized she had been chosen. Discord Server

8 159I'm Not a Necromancer
Teo’s only chance at awakening as a [Player] went to ruin when he was selected for the most dangerous tutorial dungeon to ever exist, Lyria’s Cemetery. Filled with undead monsters powerful enough to give a high-level ranker a run for their money, it had been firmly maintaining its title of “unclearable”. To fight against the [Paralysys] and [Fear] status effects that the undead monsters inflict, Teo poured all his points into willpower as he leveled-up, hoping to make it out alive. Awakening no longer mattered, he just wanted to survive. But the choices he made inside the ‘unclearable’ dungeon brought about a side-effect that he couldn't have even imagined in his wildest dreams. “For the last time, I am not a necromancer!!!” “But you have an army of skeletons!” “They are not mine.” “But they are following you.”
