 Necromancer (End Master)
comment
This page covers both the story-game Necromancer and its twin story-game, Death Song.Necromancer is an online Gamebook created by Choose Your Story user End Master, creator of Eternal. The story-game revolves around a young mage school student with no apparent magical talent. Failing his classes and bored out of his mind, the young man discovers the appeal of necromancy, an art forbidden after the rise of a powerful lich lord, hundreds of years before.Death Song, also created by Endmaster, takes place in the same world as Necromancer and at much the same time. Death Song, however, focuses on a much more mundane character: a young, aspiring musician who is forced to leave his home and dreams, in order to provide for his family. Taking up arms, The Bard soon comes face to face with armies of Death itself, and, despite his best efforts, The Bard soon learns that you can never beat death.

comment
Supernatural Elite: Lord Rostov and the vampires in general qualify. Despite being undead, they hide in the shadows and manipulate the living nations to combat the greater threats such as the Necromancer and Velzix. After all, if either of those forces win, their own lifestyle becomes a lot less cushy at best and leads to outright extinction at worst.

Masterof Illusion: A community of pixies serves as a non-evil example. They use powerful illusions to keep themselves isolated and have been from the world for so long they aren’t even AWARE that it is being destroyed by the undead until the Bard tells them. They’re very alarmed by this news.

comment
Ironic Hell: On the mercenary path, should the player choose for the character to accept the offer of a demon named Big Red, he will end up being killed and wind up in Hell as Big Red's personal musician. Of course, the instrument that Big Red gives the character causes him to feel immense pain when he strums it. Therefore, he gets pain out of one of the few things that gave him pleasure in life.

comment
Thicker Than Water: The Bard tends to lean towards this. While he does have a sense of duty to his job, his whole reason for either joining the army or becoming a mercenary is to make money for his family. In a few paths he breaks protocol and returns home to either check on them or try to save them.

Grandfather Paradox: Not quite. At one point the Necromancer has the chance to prevent his inevitable destruction of the world by allowing his father to get killed in the past. It works, however this scenario just leads to the Necromancer winding up in the timeline where he becomes the First Great Lich Lord that was from the past instead.

Crippling Overspecialization: Subverted. The Necromancer isn’t good at too many other forms of magic (Or even complex war strategy), but he’s SO powerful at necromancy that he just overwhelms everyone eventually.

Accidental Hero: The Zalan Empire keeps making the Bard into this even though in most cases he was just trying to survive whatever awful battle he just managed to crawl away from. He doesn’t even really want to be known as a hero either. At one point The Necromancer’s sister calls him out on his ability to survive every time and he breaks down and confesses everything to her, but she keeps it a secret.
