There were two souls.

One was assiduous with an unyielding will. One was effortlessly cunning with wisdom beyond many.

And now, they are one. The universe will pray.

Marcius Aemilia was killed during a duel because his opponent cheated by using a vicious poison.

Fortunately, he was resurrected by an outer god with an agenda.

Agreeing to be the god's agent within his homeland, Marcius was now back with a vengeance and dedication to save his family and clan from their unjustified demise.

But wait. He was not alone.

Along with Marcius, came the soul of Joseph Redwoods, who had read all the future events of Marcius's world from the pages of a novel.

So, what do you get when you combine the souls of a vengeful heir and a cunning geek?

Chaos, mayhem, disaster and good old ass-kicking.

The Revenant King of Rubrum

True to his aim, Marcius's sword penetrated the throat of elder Khalid and got out from the other side. Then, with a twist of his hand, the champion of Sol swiftly cut off the head of the elder in an efficient manner.


He looked down at the separated head and body of elder Khalid as he flicked off the blood from his God Sword. His sentient sword did like killing, maiming, and violent in general, but it was also very picky about being left in a bloodied and dirty condition for a long time.


"The… the duel is done." It was the female elder who acted as the referee of the duel who spoke up first. "Marcius Aemilia is the winner."


There was no cheer or clap for the supposed victory. The people of the village were still reeling from the fact that a very young man without much battle experience had just managed to kill off an elder of the village, a pillar of the region.
