The Story of a Low-Rank Soldier Becoming a Monarch

At fifteen, Chris lost his right hand on a brutal battlefield, an injury that marked the beginning of a relentless struggle for survival. By the age of twenty-four, he had mastered the essential combat skills necessary to endure in a merciless world, yet society continually urged him to abandon his path and conform to an ordinary life. Despite decades of hardship and proven capability, he faced constant pressure to quit, with others insisting he should simply live like everyone else rather than persist in his dangerous vocation as a weathered mercenary. The turning point arrived at thirty-nine when Chris lost his left hand and plummeted from a cliff during a catastrophic incident. In that moment of near-death, he unknowingly swallowed a mysterious artifact, triggering an unexpected rebirth that returned him to his fifteen-year-old self as a rookie soldier. Now granted a second chance with the accumulated wisdom and battle-hardened experience of his former life, Chris must navigate his youth anew, transforming from a weary veteran into a young recruit determined to forge a different destiny while retaining the hard-earned mastery that once defined his existence.
