What’s Necromancer Isekai About?
The official synopsis reads:
Matteo was once just a villager, but he was reborn as the grandson of Laurence, a powerful nobleman who dotes on him.
Matteo possesses powerful magical abilities and quickly hatches an ancient dragon egg, winning the dragon’s loyalty. He names the dragon Eva.
He easily pulls out a sword that no one else can pull out and sucks in magical power to create the most powerful sword ever made.
The emperor he meets loves and adores Matteo, but the emperor has a secret.
He’s clever, strong, cute, and as good as you’d expect!
The doted-upon life of the strongest nobleman, affirmed by all, is about to begin!
