Kyros was neither righteous nor wicked—a man of cold calculation who weaponized Earth itself, subjugating civilizations until death claimed him. Yet oblivion proved temporary. The Devil extracted a bargain from the dying pragmatist: resurrection in Neva, a realm untouched by his former conquest, where magic thrives and kingdoms flourish. Reincarnated as Rasmus Blackheart, a fallen nobleman of questionable standing, Kyros becomes the fulcrum of divine conflict. God and Devil have wagered his soul on a singular challenge: destabilize Neva's established order through cunning and force. The Devil sweetens the arrangement by becoming Rasmus's shadow—a companion more inclined to sabotage than support, driven by chaos rather than loyalty. In a world of court politics, sorcery, and heavenly schemes, Rasmus claws toward dominance while navigating betrayal from both expected and infernal sources. Can his intellect overcome the machinations arrayed against him, or will his unholy partnership consume the very ambitions it was meant to serve?
