AN: This is a pretty shitty novel, in case you haven't already guessed that by the rating. Check out the newer version that I'm writing, since it has more content written and higher quality (I hope).

He was a nameless child born at the end of a great war.

He gave himself a name, then worked his way to prosperity. He had a job, a wife, a daughter, and his future looked bright.

But, then, things changed. His wife and daughter were dead, and a hundred bodies laid strewn across the floor.

He couldn't continue to live; he pierced his body with his own sword.

Awakening in a new world, his new body burned with an old fury. Where magic was common and power was cheap, he vowed to never let anything get the better of him.
