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

When Marcius arrived at the training yards, he saw that an intense battle was currently taking place. It was also the center of attention for almost everyone currently within and around the training yard.


It was a fiery fight between a girl and a boy. Marcius called them a girl and a boy because even as they fought ferociously, Marcius could see that they both were younger than him by decent years and their stances and attacks were sloppy and sometimes wasteful; inexperienced, in a word.


The girl was currently wielding a long sword almost the size of her height in her hand. And as if to make up for the impracticality of the size of the blade part, the sword also contained a longer handle part than most of the swords within the realm did.


Looking at the weapon, it reminded Marcius of the two-handed great sword back in earth's medieval times. It was a fearsome weapon to be sure, and it was more so deadly in the hands of a cultivator.
