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

The reason for Marcius's apparent shock was the situation his foe was in. Previously, the sword of the Aemilia heir managed to deeply cut into the middle portion of the assassin's body. But instead of reeling and suffering in pain, the enemy kicked him in the stomach in return and sent him flying.


And now, as he looked up, the vision that welcomed him was not one he excepted.


Instead of the blood and opened wound, as well as possibly some internal organs coming out, what Marcius saw were the sight of broken metal ribs and other mechanical pieces. Some fragments of what seemed to be previously a metallic shell had now broken down. And amongst the broken pieces of metal, was some sort of peculiar yellow liquid dripping through them.


Yes. What Marcius was currently witnessing was the broken stomach of a robot, or similarly a mechanical being of the same kind.
