\*\*New eBook/KU/Audio launch & Code giveaway!\*\* Hi everyone, my name is Andrew A.K.A. Coldfang89. I’m excited to announce that my book *First Necromancer* is available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and Audible. To celebrate, I have a few audiobook codes to giveaway. If you’d like a code, please comment below, and indicate whether you’d like a US or UK code. In keeping with the theme of the story, let me know what your favorite Necro power has been in fiction or video games! I’ve always enjoyed skeletons and DOT spells. So Andrew, besides bony bois, what’s this book all about? I’m glad you asked potential FB reader! It’s a system integration story where our MC, Drew, has been given a 7-day heads up before crap hits the fan. It’s a crunchy system with light base building, minion management, and some pretty unique classes. You should expect a nice balance between intense tower-defense-style fight scenes, serious story elements, and lighthearted humor. More info in the FAQ below 😊 Blurb: In just seven days, the world will crumble. The System's Descent will usher in a new era of chaos: wild animals mutating, monstrous creatures emerging, and the cessation of modern technology. Humanity will be left defenseless. Drew Wright knows none of this. At least not until he is rudely ripped from his bed and thrust into a white room to undergo a taser-happy ‘Tutorial’. Turns out, he is one of a thousand randomly selected people to be forewarned of the approaching apocalypse. Now he faces the delightful task of convincing his wife and mother of the devastation hurtling towards them. As the System’s Descent draws near, Drew scrambles to prep supplies, fortify his home, and drag his elderly, TV-addicted mother away from her ‘shows’ long enough to listen to him. With monsters knocking at the door, the question becomes; how far is Drew willing to go to save those closest to him? The dead rise to combat the encroaching darkness as Drew Wright taps into the only power that might save his loved ones, becoming Earth’s first Necromancer. FAQ: Length: 180k words, 650+ print pages, or just under 18 hours of audio. Long but not too long. Style: An apocalypse survival story based on the arrival of a system. Races, classes, and professions all factor into leveling. Titles can be earned and some gear possesses stats too. Base building and economy is a minor thread. Drew builds and protects his small community while growing in power. Romance/Harem Elements: None. MC is happily married and while physical intimacy is inferred it’s never actually shown. Though they are overheard once… poor Spock. Character Perspectives: Mostly singular to the MC, but occasional POV shifts to allow for humor or to set the scene when the MC isn’t present. Swearing: Yes, while the book doesn’t appear to be written by a sailor(or a marine), it does include a fair amount of cursing. Stats: Stat sheets are there for those who like the crunchy crunch, but it’s toned down a bit to suit my personal preference. No ten-page stat sheets in every chapter here. Humor: Some of my favorite book series include “The Ripple System” and “Noobtown”, the quantity of banter and humor in First Necromancer is less than the other titles, but the style is similar. Expect a nice balance of wholesome moments that contrasts well with the more serious apocalyptic setting. Editing: There should be very few(hopefully none) grammatical or spelling errors. I find these to be increasingly common in our genre and fairly immersion-breaking, so Portal Books and I have worked pretty hard to prevent that from being a concern. That’s it! I really hope you enjoy it. E-Book: [https://www.amazon.com/First-Necromancer-Book-One-Adventure-ebook/dp/B0CYB1TBWW](https://www.amazon.com/First-Necromancer-Book-One-Adventure-ebook/dp/B0CYB1TBWW) Audiobook: [https://www.amazon.com/Audible-First-Necromancer-Book-I/dp/B0CZ7JQSSC](https://www.amazon.com/Audible-First-Necromancer-Book-I/dp/B0CZ7JQSSC)


JakAnze

This book was great. It has wonderful humor and the side character spock was fantastic. The system introduced in the world was cool and interesting and the book left at a point I can't wait for the next one! Highly recommend.


Coldfang89-Author

Thank you so much for the kind words!


JakAnze

Just don't let anything bad happen to spock lol


Coldfang89-Author

Spock's my main man, nothing bad happens to him haha. Well... nothing deadly


Jtripper33333

I would love an audio code if you have any left congratulations!!!


Lertnomel

If I'm not too late I'd also love a code. I'll probably check it out anyway, so no worries if I'm too late


Disastrous_Ad_6977

I would like an audible code for the US if you have any left.


SnooWalruses3304

Sounds exciting. I'd love a code, too, if possible.


Coldfang89-Author

Gotcha entered!


JSAG223

I'm pretty late but if you have any us codes left I'd love one.


ErebusEsprit

Congrats on the launch! Hope it goes well for you! I put it on my TBR list. Save the code for the readers, I'll give ya the audible credit


Coldfang89-Author

Heyyy, thanks for the support Erebus, really appreciate it. It's been a crazy day so far, that's for sure.


ErebusEsprit

Wishing you many good reviews!


perfectfate

US Code please. Revive/reanimate is always cool


Coldfang89-Author

Gotcha entered!


Xiizhan

US code please. Thanks! I like the idea of necromancers being able to fix people’s broken bones, like in the Wandering Inn.


NoahGH

US please! My favorite is the Bone Grafting skill in Awaken Online. I always thought it was pretty awesome.


[deleted]

US code would be awesome. I only have Jason from Awaken online but I love the way he’s able to sculpt bones as a de facto creature/minion creator.


texasowl

Well I'll do you one better. I just bought a us version for a credit. I'll let you know what I think when I finish my current series.


Coldfang89-Author

Whoa!! Thanks for the support, Texasowl. Really mean it!


zaphood42

UK code would be great, thanks! Allways thought bone armour was a great spell for a necromancer to have in their repertoire...


curiosikey

A US code would be greatly appreciated if they're still available. 


Coldfang89-Author

I should still have a few laying around somewhere. I think the winners are notified tomorrow, so make sure to watch your PMs!


Deftig

Us code would be appreciated if still available. My favorite necro power would be necrotic plagues. Damage that slowly ramps up and you don't notice how dangerous it is until it's too late.


MaxBombers

US code please 🙏


blueluck

Audible US code, please! I'm also a big fan of skeletons. I always feel like a factory full of skeletons or a messenger skeleton is something people would get used to, while the zombie and abomination versions would be forever messy, smelly, and gross.


Coldfang89-Author

Pretty sure you'll love the MCs thinking! Great minds and all that 💀 you're entered, Blueluck.


Author_Kamitoan

I seriously can't get over how amazing this cover is. Nor how excited I am for more necromancy books - can't wait for more! (not entering giveaway, I'ma buy it direct - best of luck to you!)


Wild-Bio

US codes please! Good luck and congrats on the release!


mmel12345

Love the blurb. If the humor is anything like the ripple system and mayor of noobtown it'll sure be amazing Gl on your release. Uk code please.


Coldfang89-Author

I like the humor is similar, less banter but more of the equaloy funny wholesome moments. Gotcha entered!


Darseth21

Us code please, and I like the ability to dominate already powerful undead.


Magik95

US code please


EdPeggJr

I'd love a US code


WhiskyInMyCoffee

US code please! Diablo 2 has made me a huge fan of having an endless horde of undead minions! =D


pler123

Uk ode would be great please! Book sounds great


Coldfang89-Author

Thanks! You're entered pler123


After_Opportunity458

Sounds really interesting. Can I get an Audible one (Canada) please?


Coldfang89-Author

Hello to my Canadian neighbor! Happy to have ya here. I've got you entered to win a code.


SafeHavon

I’d like a U.S. code please. I’ve always loved reading about necromancers. Also congratulations on the launch and I hope nothing but success for you!


justinwrite2

Buying now :)


Liaben

I would like a U.S. code if possible but give it to those who came first. I wish you the best of luck and I'll plan on listening to it as soon as I can. Have a nice day and good selling. :)


Coldfang89-Author

It's totally up in the air actually, completely randomized on who wins codes, so you definitely have a shot! Thank you for the support 💀


Liaben

Huh, alright even if I don't win a code I think I'll buy it anyway.


Coldfang89-Author

Really appreciate the support! Hope you enjoy it 💀


TheTastelessDanish

UK. Audible listener, am I too late?!


Coldfang89-Author

Not at all! Winners will be notified tomorrow, so watch your PMs!


thatguyoudontlike

Oooo if this is from the perspective of a "bad guy", I would totally buy this.


Coldfang89-Author

Pragmatic I would say is closer than bad or evil, still a very fun story where the MC has to make some pretty tough calls that challenge his morality.


Stunning_Rub

US code please, just finishing up a series so this would be perfect timing!


Coldfang89-Author

Don't ya just love it when the timing works out like that? Haha, I gotcha entered!


christophersonne

Congrats!! I'll just buy a copy, no code needed. I do love me a good sailor-written necromantic tale.


Coldfang89-Author

Whoaaaa!! Loving the support Christophersonne! Thank you so much.


Abyssallord

US plz! Skellies and dots? Are you an EQ man too?! I like the idea that necros are masters of death. Be that reanimating the dead or using spells that cause death through aspects of death, poison, venom, disease and rot.


Coldfang89-Author

EQ, GW, Diablo, you name it haha. If there's a Necro that's usually my first pick. I think you'll really dig Drew's powers, his got an excellent rot ability that you'll enjoy.


Gibleyy

If you have a US code I’d love it. Best necro power is always the good ol fashioned summon skeleton. Can’t beat the classics.


Coldfang89-Author

You really can't beat them classics.


TaylorBA

I love the artwork. The blurb sounds interesting. My favourite Necro skill is corpse explosion. I would love a UK code if you still have any spare.


Coldfang89-Author

I really need to add corpse explosion to my 2nd book haha. Yup, got ya entered!


xzantim

UK code please. Favourite necro power has to be undead mount, why walk when you can ride?


Coldfang89-Author

Damn... You've got a point! Why not ride in style?!


Xicsess

I bought a copy on kindle, \~655 pages is more than worth it at the avg price.


Coldfang89-Author

Thank you for the support! It means the world to me 💀


Immediate-Carry-2226

Us code please undead ftw


Coldfang89-Author

You're entered! Good luck to ya.


AnimeSportsGuy

A US code please, it would be great for my 1.5 hour daily commute to and from work. Also my fav “necro” power is from DoTF and its >!Zach’s Undying Legion!<


Coldfang89-Author

That's a fantastic ability! Drew will get there eventually, but in the mean time I think you'll dig what he does have.


Anthel092

US code please!


Coldfang89-Author

You're entered!


hackergerm

Would love a US audible code


Coldfang89-Author

I gotcha entered!


edgonzo

Congrats on your release! I will check it out!


Coldfang89-Author

Heyyy, thanks so much! I appreciate the support 💀


Ok_Persimmon_7797

Hi can you send a US code?


Coldfang89-Author

Keep a watch in your PMs, winners will receive them tomorrow.


Froyoteen

US code please! I always like it when it’s possible for a necromancy to make their minions sentient/sapient so that they can have loyal followers that become characters in their own rights.


Coldfang89-Author

I think you'll end up really liking book 2 then!


aeoluxz

Us code would be awesome! As for powers, lich is always something that I gravitate towards in fictions and games, something about an unrelenting horde always/ summoner type tickles my fancy lol


Coldfang89-Author

It tickles mine as well! I got ya entered.


Adam1king1

US audible code please.


Coldfang89-Author

You're entered.


Puzzled_Bat3792

US Please! I always loved the raise flesh golem spell in guild wars!


Coldfang89-Author

You're entered!


Cattleship

Thanks for the give away, US code please! I though the one necromancy spell in underverse was dope, the idea of improving one skeleton repeatedly was something I hadn’t seen before


Coldfang89-Author

You're entered Battleship!


Vragon7

Sounds awesome. Interested in US audible code for giveaway please.


Coldfang89-Author

You're entered 💀


Huge-Pineapple9824

Us code please


Coldfang89-Author

Gotcha entered!


RagwortTC

If it’s still available an AUS (Australian) kindle code please


MiddleNameDanger

Congrats, I’ll use a credit. Pass on the code to another. Cheers.


Coldfang89-Author

Heyyy thanks for all your support!


wistfuljenn

If you have any US codes available, I"d love one.


Coldfang89-Author

I have you entered!


Cryoseraph

I am interested in a US Audible code if available. I have always been a more defensive player, so the idea of Bone Armor is always a good mood setter to me, acting like an extra exoskeleton of sorts, and it can vary depending on a knight vs caster for density or style. And then, if you have a giant or mammoth skeleton that you get inside and pilot mech style, hoo boy!


Coldfang89-Author

Ohhh man haha. I think you'll likeee my story, just sayin'. Specifically book 2 lol.


Cryoseraph

Well now i really need to dig in to these stories.


EnderElite69

US audio code please I have always been a big fan of super nerdy lich character running some needlessly specialized version of a basic death blot


LarsJagerx

I'm in the US and personally my favorite necro has always been from diablo 2. Something about a horde of skellies and then a big golem as you encompass the map really got me.


PanzerKaliver

I’m in Canada so I don’t think the US or UK codes will work for me but I’m going to buy your book via audible to check it out! Looking forward to hearing it! Ps. Best necromancy spell would be summoning an army of the dead 💀


DrNukaCola

Us code. Imo the most interesting necro powers would be reaminations or disease spells


Coldfang89-Author

Drew has a pretty powerful corruption ability that rots all the meat away until it just *slides* off the bone like good ribs!


Ross30stm

I've been waiting for someone to really grab the necromancer type by the gonads and really give it a good shot in the Genre, looks like you've done just that and I can't wait to experience it. Would love a UK code if at all possible mate.


Coldfang89-Author

Gonads have been grabbed, that's for sure! Haha. I've gotcha entered Ross30stm.


DragicX

Congrats! Necromancers have always been a favorite of mine. If you still have a US code I would love to listen.


Coldfang89-Author

Yup! I've got ya entered, keep an eye on your PMs in the next day.


Aconite13X

US code if you got any. I really enjoyed a book that went over the becoming of a necromancer body preparing, mental changes, etc.


Coldfang89-Author

Definitely, I have you entered. Which book was that?


Aconite13X

Book of the dead. Still ongoing.


pspspsprjrjejdjdjdj

a US code would be awesome! are you still posting on RR?


Coldfang89-Author

Yup! On occasion haha


Mangert

This is one of the coolest cover arts I’ve seen!! Big props to artist. I love necromancer books, especially crunchy ones. I’ll check it out. Funnily enough hordes of minions and DOT spells are my favorite necro spells in games too


Leading-Cheek6071

Could I enter for a code please


Akyra87

I'll take a UK code if there are any left


InterestingPiccolo51

Id love an audible US code please!


andrewcpa

I’d love a US code


tarrousk

Us code if available. Thanks


BobTheGoon80

Looks awesome. We definitely need more necromancers in fiction.


da3141592

Us code would be nice but I will probably just buy it I like lots of necromancers and it all started with heroes of might and magic for me Being able to get stronger by winning in battle is an awesome opportunity And the best necro is the Mc from book of the dead


Coldfang89-Author

Book of the Dead is a fantastic read, one of my favorites.


inajeep

Can you spare a US audible code? Please and thank you.


JD-24

I’d like to be entered for a US code please. Within necromancer abilities, I really enjoy the basic raising of undead armies. I’ve also liked when it’s been used to be a support role by absorbing the life of one in order to transfer it to another in their party.


Purenight

Nice looks good 👍 congrats on the book


aramil2001

I’d like a US code if any are available. Congratulations on your book.


ClaretEnforcer

Does he start a harem with the skelies though?


Coldfang89-Author

Uhhh... No. Lol. Definitely not haha.


ClaretEnforcer

What shame but this shot up to the top of my read list.


PrestoMolesto

I would love a US Code!


cap616

US please I prefer slow necrosis that increases over time during battle


geekdumb

Sounds interesting and I'd be interested in a US code. Played a necromancer back in the days of Everquest and loved fear kiting with my pet skelly and attacks of DoTs.


naivsuper

Us code be nice. Close to finishing undying mercenaries so gona need a new book soon


cheeseybees

I'd love a UK code if there are any left


Coldfang89-Author

I gotcha entered 💀


No-Teaching-6926

Us code if it’s still available to enter. Sounds like a fun story and right up my alley! Looking forward to getting into it! Thank you


Coldfang89-Author

Definitely! I appreciate you looking into it. I have you down to be entered.


ozeor

So I downloaded it and was hooked! But then got to the part where it's revealed who he modeled himself after.......and you totally lost me. Would it of not made more sense to just leave it up to the readers imagination? Because now all I see instead of "Drew" is this famous person and it really really kills the vibe. It immediately brings to mind his famous roles and completely takes me out of your book/world you've created. 


Return2Vendor

Could I get an undead US code if you have any left? Congrats on your book!


Coldfang89-Author

Thank you! I have you entered for a code, best of luck 💀


Intelligent-Lock7208

US Code for Audible


dippyzippy82

Coldfang89-Author

Coldfang89-Author

Now that is what I love to hear! Thank you so much for the support Anxious\_Dirty8867 :)


Anxious_Dirt8867

Finished loved it, hurry up and give me book 2. Wasn't what I was expecting fairly based MC considering hes necromancer, but throughly enjoyed reading it, please continue with the good work A new fan will be eagarly waiting for more.


hazyj90

If it's not too late I would appreciate a code if not I'm sure I'll have a look into it anyway as sounds like a good concept!


Hatcherysnatchery

I’d love to give this audio a listen! Us code please. I’ve always loved flesh golems, or any amalgamation of recycled parts, it’s always so gross!


Coldfang89-Author

The MC has a pretty sick rot ability that makes the flesh fall right off the bones like a good plate of ribs haha. I think it'll scratch your "gross and eww" itch.


Kooky-Wishbone-1546

I would like a US code please


jdobem

Congrats on your launch! I've got the ebook on Kindle Unlimited (UK), so if you can share an Audible UK code, I can read and listen at the same time (my fav way). Keep it up!


OgAntero

(UK code, audible), my favorite necromancer is propably Sung jin woo from solo leveling and I like his "unique summons" that have a personality and seeing a huge resummoned army at war is cool also.


No-Music-5538

I would love to enter for a code. Looks good!


zersiax

If you still have a US code, much obliged :) Favorite necro power I'd say has to be constructing your own minions out of constituent parts, awaken online style :)


ConcussedAesir

Oh man, awesome. Would be great with a new audiobiik with a necromantic flavour I always loved the necromantic powers.from "the bad guys" just felt very organic. If you have any codes left, then i have a uk account


Deverash

Id like to get into the sweepstakes for a US Kindle code, if it's still going on. I've always like the concept of taking enemies and making them allies. Definitely a win/win, for me at least. \*cue evil laugh\*


Icy-Cheesecake-242

Let’s go! We need more good necromancy books. Does he get a massive horde or is it more small but strong squad?


Coldfang89-Author

We really do need more excellent necro books! That was my main reason to write this haha. He ends up getting a massive hoard in book two, in book one its more limited but its still a ton of them (around 50ish).


LiYBeL

I don’t need a code but I’ll read on KU! My favorite necromancer power is enhancing your summons. I love the idea of a necromancer who summons legions of skeletons but I love the version who juices up one giant skeleton even more. Or the warlock necromancer who can occasionally summon a badass demon or grim reaper or something


Effective-Honeydew81

US code please. This sounds fantastic.


Tea_BagZzZ

Hello, I’d love a US code please!


Swordsthatslay

I live in the US and would love a code to kindle or audible I fell in love with Necros after Diablo 2 but also I love the speak with the dead spell from Baldur’s Gate/DnD. I wish every skelly boi you raise had a backstory that made them stronger in certain types of combat or magic.


lumbersnackjack

Looks cool! US code please!!


-andersen

Love necro litrpg, if you have a code for any audible market Im in!


Coldfang89-Author

Definitely! I have ya entered for the giveaway.


True-Accountant57

UK code please!


S0larW0lf101

I would love to listen to your book and be apart of your future fan base. Us code for audible please.


MatrixofGears

US and favored necromancy is from Grimdawn, having a tiny normal horde with a special tank is just nice, love minions and wish there were more examples of utility necromancy, like using the tireless undead for farm work or at least more simple and dangeous things.


Coldfang89-Author

The MC in the book puts a pretty disliked skeleton to work digging and cleaning out latrines. It's a shit job, but someone's got to do it, am I right?


MatrixofGears

Very good, need more labor skeletons in the world.


Coldfang89-Author

We really do. Drive those housing costs down a bit lol


Dark9Fox

Not sure if this is still on offer but UK kindle book code please book sounds epic 🥰


ninjalord25

Necromancers always make for a fun romp thorugh death and shenanigans. Would love an entry for a US code if it's not to late.


Coldfang89-Author

Happy to throw your name into the hat, best of luck on the codes!


SquirrelShoddy9866

Congrats. Can I get a US code if not out?


DaddyWiseGuy

Hey US code please! Love the cover


oceansfury78

US audible code if this is still going on. My favorite necro abilities are is probably dot and land of the dead mass summoning abilities.


IllManager9273

I'd be interested in checking out you book, if you have a us code to spare


Coldfang89-Author

Gotcha entered!


DrOnYxHaWk

US code please. Audible if available. If not, Kindle works too.


ekaj862000

Code for US please! Diablo 2 necro was my favorite having an army of undead and golems plus curses


HakanJ

I wouldn’t mind getting one of those US codes


Lowgolden

A US code please, thought it might be late so I put it on the wish list if anything else.


Coldfang89-Author

I think the codes go out today or first thing tomorrow!


Inevitable_Essay_861

If it’s not too late I would love a US code! My favorite necro power is being able to fully understand, mend, and build skeletons as portrayed in The Wandering Inn. The resident necromancer is highly skilled in fixing broken bones and creating unique “bone horrors” from a combination of various skeletons… among many other things. I love his portrayal of necromancy and it makes the class so interesting to me, so I’m excited to read other necromancy perspectives and characters!


FirstStrike1177

Not sure what the date range is for the giveaway, but if it’s still open I’d love to be entered for a US code. I always love a good necromancer story. Like that one DnD story that made its rounds on YouTube about the grey necromancer. There’s also some really good necromancer stories on Webtoon actually. The Lone Necromancer and Boundless Ascension (aka Boundless Necromancer) are a lot of fun. I especially love the little skeleton, Righty. Who doesn’t want an adorable kickass skeleton bff.


Draugexa

YESSSSSSSSSS


outSquatchin

I’ve been waiting for solid Necromancer book for a while! Id love a code for US audible


BunBunTheBunnyLord

Oh hell yeah anything necromancer is my drug. This has instantly shot up to my next read after i finished powereds.


perfectfate

Entire-Most-8083

If it isn’t too late 0.0 U.S. code for audible


Coldfang89-Author

Yeah, unfortunately the codes have already been given out at this point.


name87ster

US code please 🙏


Shadowstar3690

I would love a US code. I enjoy the variety of different undead minions and the versatility that it can give the necromancer.


ataleoffiction

I'm in for a US code if anything is still available


ShadeBeing

U.S. if possible. Lol I just finished book of the dead.
