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 looked around him as the ground was soaked in blood and the corpses of the troops of the Kerther clan lay in a mess. The heir of the Aemilia clan cleaned the blood from his sword as he prepared to leave. Their sword of his did not like when he did not clean the blood off it after the killing.


With a thought and a slight application of spirit energy, the sword was promptly stored back into the ring on his finger. Then, he flapped his wings and took flight.


It did not take very long for the heir of the Aemilia clan to arrive back at the flying vessel and meet with his parents.


"It is done," Marcius calmly reported. "It appears that the ambush was indeed a clumsy attempt by the clan of Kerther to stop our army and stall time for their defenses. But it is a certainty now that, those troops will no longer be an issue."
