It's Tough Being a Necromancer: Volume 1

Edgar is apprenticed to a necromancer, but he has a ways to go before he's powerful enough to raise hordes of dead or achieve immortality. His master has a solution: get real-world field experience, starting by capturing a ghost for study. It's a frightful idea, but all in the line of duty! Edgar sets off on an adventure that will have him battling the undead in dilapidated manors, dueling vampires, and excavating more than he bargained for. Along the way, he forms alliances; some of them wary; with a band of unlikely (and undead) women who’ll either have his back or bite him in it. Can their revenant alliance withstand the ruthless Inquisition, led by a hunter named Gideon? Through battles, tomb raids, and even ballroom dances, Edgar will be thrust into uneasy role of leader in a surprising and hauntingly human narrative. A runner-up in the first-ever J-Novel Club Original Light Novel (OLN) Contest!
