Fate is a strange thing. Just yesterday you were the strongest warrior in the Empire and led legions into battle—today your homeland doesn’t need you. They threw you away like a used napkin and took your life. A tragedy, isn’t it?
For someone, maybe—but not for me. I never believed the emperor and his henchmen. The way it happened is that I found a way to be reborn.
And now I wake up in the body of a runt being taken to slaughter. I am an aristocrat—sold into slavery by my own father. I’m riding in a cage with a bunch of the same doomed people, headed for a tower where there’s no chance of rescue. I can feel that this tower will devour everyone sitting next to me—except me. I will survive. Because I have no other choice.
