Cecil Perdium reached the peak of the mercenary world only to die with a heart full of regret. He was the legendary Mercenary King, yet he failed to protect his own kin from the snakes lurking in the shadows. But as his vision faded on the battlefield, he uncovered the true, sickening scope of the betrayal that ended his family line. Now, the gods or fate have given him a second shot. Cecil wakes up in his teenage body, years before the tragedy, armed with the lethal instincts of a veteran killer and the tactical mind of a king.

The road to redemption is paved with filth. Cecil is currently a young noble with a trash reputation, his family’s estate is crumbling, and his knights are deserting left and right. He has to rebuild his strength from scratch while outmaneuvering high-ranking conspirators who think he is just a spoiled brat. It is time to use every dirty trick, every ounce of strategic genius, and all the blood-soaked experience from his past life to flip the script. If the world wants to tear his house down, they are going to have to go through a man who has already mastered the art of war. This is a cold-blooded rewrite of history where the hunter becomes the prey.
