Emperor Ian Veroshion, the first noble mage, was betrayed and executed. Cursed to never be reborn, he awakens a century later as the illegitimate son of a disgraced ducal line, destined to be a hostage in a barbaric land. Stripped of his magic and his throne, he must navigate a world vastly different from the one he ruled, facing political machinations and a resurgent monster threat. But the embers of his past life still burn, and Ian will not surrender his legacy. He will reclaim his name, his magic, and perhaps, even his empire.

A Mage Reborn: Legacy of the Fallen Emperor

The knight surveyed his surroundings, sword still in hand. None of this made sense. Ian, nothing more than a sacrificial lamb for a peace treaty, and his lackey were being treated as naturally as if they'd been born among the Cheonryeo tribe. This was beyond comprehension.

"Beric, you sure you got this? You're not gonna die today, are you?"

"Yeah, piss off. You're the one who's gonna die."

"Judging by that mouth, you're in top form."

"Hey, Knight of Bratz! Put Beric in his place! Knock some sense into him. Or I'll kill you myself."

"Kahaha! Then the knight dies either way? That's hardly fair."

They were surrounded, a circle of onlookers watching Beric and the knight. It was like being a dog in a fighting pit. The knight glanced at Ian, who sat beside Kakantir, and knew something had gone terribly wrong. This, too, had to be reported to Derga.
