And now... now I'm paying the price. We've always been prey to them, and I'm no exception. I'm just a fragile, foolish, complicated thing... and I'm so tired of fighting. Tired of running. Tired of being hunted. I can’t wait for him to kill me and task my body with the rest… I’m exhausted

The world is ruled by two forces—gods and kings. For centuries, divine beings have shaped the fate of nations, granting their champions power while mortals fight and die in their name. But one man seeks to change everything. Aurelian Valerius, warrior-king and master tactician, refuses to be a pawn in the gods’ eternal game. From his first battle as a young commander to his rise as a ruler, he has crushed enemies through a blend of brutal strategy and unmatched skill in combat. He does not kneel before gods, nor does he fear their chosen champions. When war erupts between empires, Aurelian sees an opportunity—not just for conquest, but for revolution. As he marches across the lands, he wages war not only against rival nations but against the very foundations of divine rule. Alongside his elite warriors and powerful sages, he challenges the might of celestial beings, proving that gods can bleed—and if they bleed, they can die. But war is never simple. Corrupt nobles plot in the shadows, rival warlords seek to betray him, and the gods themselves whisper from the heavens, weaving schemes to reclaim their power. As Aurelian builds his empire, he faces a choice: will he remain mortal, or will he seize the throne of the gods themselves? Steel clashes with sorcery, armies rise and fall, and a new age dawns—an age where mortals decide their own fate.
