An honorable knight had just died on the battlefield, but his lost soul entered an empty body in another world. Living as the underdog Alexander, he surprises everyone with his prowess at wielding the sword relying on his combat skills from his past life. Not only his father, Baron Leville, and almost everyone in his family, but also King William VIII was impressed by Alexander. Getting so much attention in such a short and unexpected time, will surely give some people jealousy. There are no exceptions for blood people!

Chapter 1 Death of Honorable Knight

The vast grasslands, it is usually a beautiful sight with some wildlife living there.

Now, this is not as usual.

The sound of metal clashing against each other, the deafening cries of war, to the sorrowful screams, all of it come together to vibrate the air along the stretch of grass. The green grass was stained with bloodstains splattered from the bodies that had been separated from life.

There have been so many soldiers who have fallen from one side, but that doesn't stop them from being discouraged to keep fighting against the opposing forces that have not seen a lot of declines.

From one point, a person seems to be surrounded by many corpses. The corpses those are in the same uniform as the one worn by the opposing forces have been knocked down by a sword in his hand.

With a slightly heavy breath, the man calls out to his troops "My honorable warriors, let us fight together to the end!"

"YAAA!!!" cry all his remaining troops with still burning enthusiasm.

Facing the next wave, that's when the struggle ends.

It isn't that they are less skilled than the opponent, but that the number of the opposing armies is beyond comprehension. A small kingdom that only has thousands of soldiers must desperately fight the onslaught of troops that number up to hundreds of thousands.

Indeed, from the opposing side, the number of troops does not appear to have decreased, but it is still two to three times the number of those who died compared to his side.

"ATTACK!!!"

With the remnants of strength fueled by the embers of an unquenchable spirit, the small army shook off the incoming wave of troops. Successfully overthrowing one, there is no longer any more power to prepare to ward off another attack.

So quickly, one by one the soldiers die.

Now, he is left alone and is still defending against several soldiers at once with the remnants of his strength. Two people have been knocked down by his sword, but his body is no longer able to move as he wishes.

Then once hit by a sword slash, another slash begins to be engraved on his body.

With his body covered in wounds, blood dripping incessantly on the ground, he plunges his greatsword to support his body.

No one dared to approach rashly, for they are afraid of being hit by a surprise attack even though they know it may be the last attack. However, they still love each other's life. Let someone sacrifice to get the final victory.

Closing his eyes without fear of being attacked, he smiles so calmly and full of regret. Taking a deep breath as he looks up at the clear sky as opposed to the pain above the ground, he says quietly "I'm sorry, my Lord. I can't do my job well. Maybe after this last breath blows, I will trouble you. Oh, my Poor King..."

Feeling a cold gust of wind, it is then that his last consciousness gradually faded away with the wind. All the pain disappear and are replaced with comfort as the feeling of being tossed about in the wind made him fall into a deep sleep.

The cowardly soldiers are still reluctant to approach, even though the man they are surrounding is in fact no longer alive.

"Pst! Shall we attack together?" one of them gives advice.

No matter how cowardly they are to face one person a dozen at a time, they still want to maintain their dignity. Attacking someone they are ganging up on while in such a seemingly defenseless state makes them feel like they are going to be even lower.

They look at each other, hesitant to accept his suggestion.

But after hearing a cry from behind, the cry from the war knight leader makes them rush over to the lifeless body.

One, two, three...!

The swords pierce the body that is standing stiffly supported by a large sword. There is no reaction from him, not even a moan of pain could be heard. This makes them feel even more inferior that they are actually feared by a single body.

"Geez, isn't he a hell of a knight?"

...

In a room that is rarely visited by people, not even servants, a young man has just desperately hurt himself. He is really able no longer stand the pressure exerted by his family and people. In his mind, only death is the best way to solve his suffering.

So much blood come out of the wound that was made. Not long after convulsions due to lack of blood, the body lay stiff as a sign that his soul had left the body.

The empty body with no one to take care of it becomes an easy target to be possessed by a lost soul, and that's when his fingers seemed to move a little.

Suddenly, his eyes are opened. His eyes scan the room in confusion. Sitting down to take a wider view, then he is confused again by something unfamiliar in his memory.

He looks at her slender body, clearly lacking strong muscles.

"Blood?" he mutters in surprise, then he looks at his wrist which looked like a scar that was the origin of the splattered blood. He is even more confused, especially when he remembers he shouldn't have woken up in a room.

Or even, would he really wake up again after being convinced that it was his last time alive?

The pain in his wrist is of no concern, but he feels weak to just stand up. An amazing thing, the body that has lost a lot of blood is still able to move with simple movements.

Holding onto his injured wrist to stop the bleeding, he comes to a still rough conclusion.

"It seems, I have indeed died and am now in a new body. Is this what is called reincarnation? Obviously, this isn't my body and the place where I woke up too..." he says weakly as he's looking around.

Suddenly, he looks a bit shocked. Then he briefly grimaces, before the other hand immediately massages his temples.

"This... This is someone else's memory? Is this the memory that comes from this body?"

A memory, where he seems to have done something embarrassing appeared. Not only that, memories of other things also slowly invaded him. It is so painful, that his brain feels like it is going to burst. Because after all, another memory forced him to merge with him. His soul gives a refusal but slowly begins to accept the foreign memory.

Enduring the stinging pain in his head, he is just silent and closing his eyes. Not even a grimace is heard since that first time, only because he was startled by the sudden appearance of pain.

"So, this body is called Alexander. And, he was a truly pathetic person. In fact, he was willing to commit suicide just to escape the reality of life? Tch!"

Instead of feeling sorry for the memory of how his new body had suffered the humiliation of everyone and was cruelly treated, he feels irritated instead. As a knight, surrendering and running away was something only true cowards would do.

"It's still natural for him to just run away to get back to fixing things, but committing suicide means he really ran away and doesn't want to come back..." he says looking up at the ceiling, hoping to see where that cowardly soul really is.

He slowly gets up, forcing the frail body to move in search of cloth.

After much effort, finally, the wound on his hand is wrapped in the cloth he has obtained. The new body is so weak that it is difficult for him to control. What's more, he is sure that not so much blood has been lost. In fact, he had lost a lot of blood during battles and had never been this weak.

"No wonder people underestimate him, he is indeed a very weak person. Because of that, I have to give hard training to build this slender body..." He clenches his fist tightly, while the other grabs the doorknob to open it.

His new body, named Alexander, requires a lot of nutrients. For now, that's the thing to do before starting to train the body.

The residence is empty, not a single servant in sight, just like in his memory. Even though there are no maids, the residence that is only occupied by him in fact looks clean and tidy. This is evidence of his new body having side skills that make him underestimated.

"I have to change this sad life. Just watch wherever your soul is, how much you will regret choosing to leave your body!"

"Hehe... never mind little girl, there's no need to torture yourself anymore. Come on, play with us, it's much more enjoyable..." "Yes. You will definitely be addicted..." "Trust me, you'll love being a bad girl..." The girl who had been helpless looked at them with fear, her tears were now all over her face, maybe because it was mixed with her sweat as well. She shook her head as she said in a trembling voice, "No... no... I-I don't want to... please, l-let me go..." Hearing this, the three looked at each other before bursting into laughter. They looked like they had no sympathy seeing the girl's pitiful condition. Their smiles grew even more, like enjoying a girl who was suffering. "There's no need to be so afraid, little girl. However, it's quiet here. Nobody will know what happened to you. People who know you will still think of you as an innocent girl, as long as you don't tell them..." he said in a half-whisper, the man had a thin mustache with disheveled and slightly long hair. Then, he signaled to the two men behind him to hold the girl's hands, so as not to trouble himself while performing his actions. "No... don't... DON'T!" The girl became increasingly desperate, she herself realized that she had previously chosen the wrong path of escape and ended up leading the men to a place that greatly benefited them to more freely carry out their actions. She could not rebel any further as her tiny hands were locked by the two men from the left and right, while the man with the thin mustache was about to do something else. However, before the girl's nightmare occurred, someone said "Young Lady, do you need my help?"

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
