I Started as the Enemy Nation’s Hero
Smoke rises from the blood-drenched trenches of the borderlands, where steel clashes and magic tears the earth apart. For years, the kingdom and the empire have locked horns in a brutal war of attrition, leaving countless dead in the mud. On this merciless battlefield, reputation is paid for in blood, and the line between a savior and a monster is determined solely by which side of the border you stand on.
Once revered as his homeland's ultimate vanguard, the legendary commander known as "the Unbroken Blade" meets a sudden end on the frontlines. Instead of finding peace in death, he wakes up in a foreign camp, trapped inside the body of a weak, disgraced soldier belonging to the very empire he spent his life fighting. A classic reincarnation manhwa setup takes a dark, political turn as he navigates the cutthroat hierarchy of his greatest enemies. Surrounded by foes who would execute him in an instant, survival means climbing the military ranks from the dirt up. How long can a sworn defender play the part of the enemy nation's savior before his past catches up to him?
