Sixteen years before the Holy Theocracy prophesied hero, a child is born in the harsh frontier of the Iron Dominion. He should have been nothing more than another commoner in a land ruled by industry, steel, and survival. But the moment he first opens his eyes, memories from another life awaken within him. Now, in a world of monsters, adventurers, and endless frontiers, he is given something he never had before: a body strong enough to fight, run, and live freely. Mercenaries, explorers, and monster hunters carve their legends into the history of the Dominion. Starting from the lowest ranks, he takes on dangerous contracts, ventures into unexplored lands, and slowly earns a reputation among those who survive by the blade. Because in the Iron Dominion, legends are not chosen by prophecy. They are forged in iron. Chapters release every Tuesday @12pm EST
