The Astanian Empire fractured into civil war following the emperor's death, as his two sons clashed for supremacy. Caught in the upheaval, Alaric was conscripted into service and rose to command a company of one hundred soldiers under the crown prince's banner. On the battlefield, his strength proved insufficient to change the tide of war. A stray arrow claimed his life before he could leave his mark on history, and he perished without honor or recognition. Then came an impossible second chance. Alaric awakened in his younger body, his memories of the past intact and a system granting him access to dormant power. With future knowledge as his weapon and newfound abilities at his command, he embarks on a quest to defy the destiny that once destroyed him.
