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.

Marcus slung the great sword in his hand onto his shoulder as the three family members of the Aemilia clan observed the opponents in front of them.

"What do you have in mind, son?" He asked, looking back at his son.

"Well… I do have some plans in mind. They are sort of difficult to implement at the moment, and I do not want to risk it while fighting two very powerful foes," Marcius replied as he increased the output of spirit energy he was releasing into the surroundings.

"Short term? I will fight the phoenix while you two occupy the attention of the great elder. I am fairly confident that I am able to defeat each of them individually if given enough time. But two of them at one? I am not able to handle that. So, the current plan is for me to fight the spirit beast while you stall the great elder."
