Kai wakes up mid-slaughter with a dead man's memories and no idea how to use them. The world doesn't stop to let him figure it out. This is isekai stripped of the power fantasy coating, where transcendence means nothing if the next village raid happens tomorrow.

Kai grows up in the village of Lag, in a harsh borderland where humans fight an unending war against demi-human tribes that want their land and their gods. He joins the fight as a lowly soldier. One by one, his comrades fall, and after a near-fatal wound, Kai suddenly recovers memories of a past life. In his world, people blessed by a Land God, called guardian bearers, carry a divine crest and great spiritual strength that lifts them above everyone else. Kai longs for more power to improve his lot. When a strange chain of events grants him a guardian bearer's abilities, he must keep them hidden from watchful eyes while mastering them and searching for what they mean. The result is an action fantasy full of magic, bloodshed and mystery.
