The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Ghislain Perdium, the Seventh Mercenary King of the Continent, unleashed a devastating war to avenge the ruin of his house. Years of bloodshed and calculated conquest carried his campaign of retribution to the very brink of a flawless victory. But just as everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place, an unexpected figure appeared—Aiden. His sudden intervention unraveled Ghislain's meticulously laid plans, and the tale of vengeance ended not in triumph, but with the Mercenary King's head severed from his shoulders. Ghislain braced for death, certain that this time it had truly claimed him—only to open his eyes in a body far younger than he remembered, cast back to the days before his family's downfall. Determined never to repeat the painful mistakes of his past, he begins rebuilding everything that was lost, piecing his fate back together one fragment at a time with the knowledge and power carried over from his previous life.
