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

With a start, Marcius returned back to the material realm of Rubrum.

Instead of the endless void filled with energy, what greeted him was the scorched wasteland and the lava that flowed from the top of the volcano and formed into rivers of fire at the base.

'I'm back,' Marcius considered. 'I guess that means the integration of Ashuran into my core is a success.'

The voice of the Eternal Flames Phoenix rang within the mind of the Aemilia heir. It was the only proof Marcius needed.

He looked down at his body, without paying any heed to his surroundings. With just a thought, he started running spirit energy through his vines and felt the difference within his body immediately.
