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

Marcius spared the woman a glance as the mistress of the Iron Lotus trade guild gracefully took a seat beside him. The addicting fragrance of the perfume Maria was currently wearing drifted across the room and entered Marcius's nose.


The saint of the Solas church smiled wryly as the actions of the trade guild's mistress seemed to be aiming to seduce him. But Marcius also knew that it was a normal attitude of Maria, one she also displayed during his last visit to the guild together with Azriel. Thus, he let it be.


"This woman feels very honored that the young master decided to accept my invitation," Maria spoke softly as she sat down. Her slender fingers reached out to grasp the handle of the teapot in front of them, and she poured a cup of herbal tea for Marcius. And when she pushed the cup toward Marcius, the Aemilia heir took it without hesitation and drank it down.
