Dexter, a prodigy celebrated by many, feels a void that fame can’t fill. 

At nineteen, amidst a creative crisis, he experiences a blackout and awakens in a new world. 

Now inhabiting the body of Daylan—a misfit youth in a crumbling medieval realm infused with steampunk technology and divine laws—Dexter faces a life entangled by debt, failed Trials, and entanglement in a rebellion against a corrupt Divine Church. 

With no path back, he confronts the final Trial, the most harrowing of all, setting him on a journey that will earn him and his comrades the whispered title of Soldier, Poet, King. 

But as his powers grew, so did his responsibilities and enemies.

The Poet’s System

A voice echoed through the walls of Daylan's cell, jolting him from his slumber. He immediately sat upright to find Captain Rhea seated before the cell gate.

"I was expecting you to get in a few workouts today, but I guess I expected too much from you."

"Why does it matter? No matter what I do, it's not like I'm ever getting out. I just wanted to rest for once," Daylan replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

The moment Daylan teleported back from Spine Street the night before, he made it just in time—right before the guard came to check on him, just as he'd suspected.

He pretended to sleep, but sleep claimed him entirely, and he ended up sleeping through the whole night into the afternoon.

What sparked his outrage wasn't enough to justify the intensity of it. It was as if something had fueled it—something deeper, amplifying his fury tenfold.
