A young man, a modern-day history and war enthusiast, finds himself reincarnated in the body of an orphan — one destined to inherit a small, struggling barony from his dying uncle. But fate offers no easy path. Inside the family, greedy rivals lurk, eager to steal his inheritance. Outside, hostile neighbors eye his weakened lands, ready to tear it apart at the first sign of weakness.

This is a tale of ruthless ambition, cunning strategy, and relentless struggle. From a powerless orphan to a baron, from the weakest barony to the mightiest duchy — he will rise through blood, steel, and fire.

The desperate cry rang out like a crack in glass. Viston turned his head, and his heart clenched.

Some had been hacked in half, their hearts exposed to the frigid air.

Viston gritted his teeth, raised his sword high, and swallowed the bitter taste of defeat.

His voice thundered across the battlefield—but it did not immediately change the tide.
