THE CORPORATE NECROMANCER

The Market is closed. The Dungeon is open for business. Ethan Cole, former corporate middle-manager turned Necromancer, has hit a supply chain bottleneck. The Merchant Guild, jealous of his success, has slapped a total trade embargo on his territory. No iron. No timber. And worst of all: No coffee. A typical Dark Lord would declare war. Ethan declares a pivot. If he can't expand horizontally on the surface, he will expand vertically into the earth. His new strategy? Vertical Integration. To survive, Ethan must conquer the ancient dungeon beneath his farm. But he's not just clearing rooms; he's restructuring them. He needs to unionize a starving tribe of Kobolds, negotiate a silk contract with a giant Spider Queen, and reboot a depressed Dungeon Core named Phyllis. But when the Guild sends high-level Raid Parties to shut him down, Ethan realizes that "intruders" are just "customers" he hasn't monetized yet. It's time to turn this dungeon into the world's deadliest tourist trap. Warning: Contains economic warfare, malicious compliance, skeleton minions in safety vests, and a protagonist who treats mana management like a spreadsheet.
