Karl Wagner is a disgruntled middle-aged instructor at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College. He finds himself concerned about the direction which the German nation is headed in—just as he is killed by a terrorist attack. Only to awaken and find himself reborn as an infant, Bruno von Zehntner, the youngest son of a noble family renowned for its part in the German war industry a few years after the founding of the German Empire. Bruno, as he is now known, desires to rewrite history and ensure the German Empire emerges victorious in the coming century. And in doing so, finds himself entrenched in a world filled with Blood and Iron!
Bruno spent another five days at sea after meeting with Nikola Tesla before eventually returning home. Frankly speaking, he did not want to go to work the next day. But then again, he seldom got to choose his own hours.
Duty and service were things that truly ended only with one's death. One always had a responsibility to their family, community, fatherland, monarch, and God. To shirk these obligations for the sake of rest was a sign of sloth.
Such was one of the seven deadly sins. Reasonably so, as laziness and its temptations had been the ruin of many a great man. Even worse, it was often a gateway to one's personal destruction, both in terms of their immortal soul and physical being.
It was perhaps because of this that Bruno, despite being exhausted from the visit, made sure to spend some appropriate time with his wife and children, all of whom he loved very much, before eventually retiring for the evening at an appropriate hour.
