Synopsis

In a world ravaged by chaos and loneliness, John's life lacked purpose and meaning. The constant protests outside his apartment mirrored the turmoil within him, their noise a haunting reminder of the unrest he couldn't escape. Lost in unemployment and isolation, John sought refuge in virtual realms, where he could momentarily escape reality. Yet, his existence felt empty, like an abandoned canvas waiting for a painter's touch. With each passing day, he robotically navigated life, seeking something more. In an unexpected twist of events, a sudden explosion shattered his life, leaving him floating in a mysterious void. As panic threatened to consume him, an otherworldly voice offered him an enigmatic opportunity—to rewrite his destiny, to embrace a higher purpose. With unwavering determination, John accepted the offer, and a blinding light transported him to a new reality. His consciousness had returned, but his senses felt foreign, devoid of sight. Instead, he sensed momentous events unfolding—a significant figure being born, destined to become the emperor of a crumbling empire. John VIII Palaiologos, a historical figure tasked with confronting the mighty Ottoman Empire, was now the role he inhabited. As he grappled with his newfound identity and the weight of his responsibilities, he realized that his journey had just begun. The fate of an empire rested on his shoulders, and he was determined to shape history in a way that would bring hope and transformation to his world. --------------------------------------------- [Author Note:] Updates: 3-4 chapters/week *Miss me? Don't be, I'll be much busier than last time, but do try to write, somehow, I might be a tad below my chapters expectation for a couple of weeks depending on how busy I am.* Cheers!

His Masked Knight

"It is futile" Duke Allen spoke, his amber eyes glinting with unwavering arrogance. "How dare you!?" the crude looking bandit growled as he took another spare dagger. "Don't bother" a sharp, clear-cut voice slashed his thoughts. "My my Edgar, you are frightening the poor soul. Look, he is not bothering to attack with his dagger" Duke chuckled, lacing his words with superiority. It only took a slash to paint the gravel and the ground with bright red. The ground also witnessed a 'thump' and a rolling head. "Wipe that cocky smirk off. It's repulsive" the knight spat out, his eyes were filled with fury at the aloofness exhibited by his master. What would have happened if I were late? "That's not how you speak with your Master, but that's okay.." Duke said, closing the distance between him and his knight. "After all, you are" he slightly bent himself to whisper in the ear of his knight "my one-and-only Edgar Radford" his hiss sent sharp tingles through the knight's body. A rush of rosy hue brightened his white cheeks accompanied by a slight throbbing. ***** Aristocracy, a privileged class holding hereditary titles. The class of the most powerful members of society. The ton or rather the Aristocracy retains notable title-holders. Among them is Allen Barnhart Ferdinand, the Duke of Alterimers. Commonly called "The Rapacious Eagle".

Mireille Isabelle Martin, the youngest daughter of Count Martin, witnesses her mother's murder at a young age, sworn to retaliate- Mireille bequeaths her old self to become Edgar Radford. Will being chosen by the Rapacious Eagle help her in her path? Or will she become a prey to the Eagle? When fate entangled their past, will they solve the mysteries it evokes?

This is one of this year's best historical fiction and reincarnation novels. So far, I have read the current 34 chapters, and everything about this novel is brilliant. The author uses historical evidence and interweaves it with their novel, while including modern tactics and policies to better the declining Empire. And this guy pulls high-quality chapters out of nowhere everyday which makes me give him these five stars and my full respect.

Bloody fine art this novel is. I recommend this novel for anyone interested in the time period of the fall of the eastern roman empire to the ottomans, and kingdom revitalization and building, with great characters.

It's good to see alternative historical novel. I want little more detail about war , military reform and economic development.(i still read ep 11) for me concept of legion is good but too costly for small empire to lose a single battle and military plan is old too use against Parthian tactics that why they change tactics but still not good enough to counter turk or western army. I enjoy it very much. Thx author-San

The author grammatical abilities are quite good, however this novel is more akin to a Children’s story than to a historical novel. There is 0 details, important dialogue is not written and usually some repetition. What are the reforms and such are completely skipped, some historical stuff ignored such as Turkish people having no surnames or the fact that diet and medicine of that era will never allow a training regiment even close to US marines. A complete rework is needed for this to be close enough to be good. I can see that as the first novel of the author he is quite good at writing but bad at dialogues and world building/politics/economics to create a historical novel as it is hardest genre to create a good writing as it need research and real political/economic understanding or it will remain a shallow children’s story.

This story has a great potential and a fantastic premise. Just that it feel as if the author has used too much AI assistance in his writing making it repetitive and overly verbose. Please author dont give up but please work on improving, maybe I will return in the future to your work.
