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.

At the base of Horsepasture Hill, the Eagle Legion was fully arrayed for battle.


At the narrow entrance, the sword-and-shield infantry stood in a wide arc, shields raised. Behind them, the spearmen braced their weapons upright, poised for combat.


Each soldier exhaled white puffs of breath into the frigid morning air, only for the cold wind to sweep them away in seconds. Tension was carved into every face; hands flexed and feet shifted as they fought back nerves.


The ground began to tremble. Hoofbeats rolled across the plains like thunder, growing louder with every heartbeat. The soldiers tightened their grips on sword, shield, or spear, their fear tinged with a strange, electric anticipation.
