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

It had been a day since Marcius dropped the bomb on top of the heads of the upper echelons of the Aemilia clan. And things had calmed down, somewhat.

Although what Marcius revealed to them was indeed shocking, all of the commanding officers of the clan were seasoned and experienced cultivators. They knew the importance of the need to stay focused amid a siege and eventually moved on from the revelations Marcius made. All of them went back to their duties of overseeing the siege progress and there had been a lull in combat.

With the decisive defeat, the Order of Purple Sun suffered in their attempted sally, the enemy had decided to stay on the defensive. Still, the Hell Hammer cannons remained aimed at the gates of the order's stronghold, and the soldiers, the cultivators, as well as the knights continued their vigilance.
