His first day ended with a knife in his throat. Marcus, the so called “Mad Lord”, awakens to clarity and a system’s grim decree:[Days Left: 183.] His first choice leads to a brutal death and his second, to a perfect frame. But the Edge Of Death offers more than a countdown. It grants knowledge and secrets hidden by time. Forbidden methods and designs this world was never meant to have. Plagued by evils and schemes of ancient beings. Hunted by the wealthy and nobles, ruling a starving land on the brink of collapse, Marcus makes a single decision: if survival is difficult, then he will build something that will make his enemies hesitate. Powers that would scare them away. From an impoverished territory, he begins to forge an empire of his own. Long live the Son of Flame! Long live the Iron Viscount.
