My Promotion to Overlord is Pending My Performance Review

A Light Novel LitRPG

Alice Cromwell graduated from the Underworld Academy for Future Overlords with top marks in necromancy, dark magic, and minion management. Now she has one semester to prove she deserves the title: conquer a human settlement, establish dominion, and pass one final inspection.

The target? The human realm. Starting with: Eastchester, a walled city.. A garrison that knows how to fight. And somewhere inside, a rogue Academy graduate named Malecant who’s gone native and is running the city’s defenses from the shadows.

Alice’s tools, a zombie army of two thousand, a corrupted magical node, a half-dragon bodyguard still figuring out his wings, an acolyte named Ted and the kind of ruthless ambition that makes hard decisions morally dubious at best.
