Abused and Ignored, The King returns

You were the first king of Auremere. A thousand years ago, you founded the kingdom with sword, magic, and absolute will. You were its first ruler, strongest warrior, greatest mage, and the one who turned broken clans into an empire of law, steel, and glory. Your blade broke warlords. Your spells silenced armies. Your crown united a continent. Then you died holding the hand of your immortal Elven queen. Nine hundred years later, Auremere rots beneath paranoid King Lucivar Blackthorne. Your children’s bloodlines have become corrupt noble houses. The army is divided. The throne is poisoned by schemes. Your statues fill the cities, your laws are twisted into chains, and your name is used to justify everything you would have destroyed. Then you wake up. Not in a palace. In a forgotten sickroom. Reborn as the youngest of House Hollowmere, the ignored child of a minor noble house. The body’s old soul already died from sickness after days of fever, neglect, cold meals, and unanswered pleas. Your family shut the bedroom door, prepared burial clothes, and went to dinner while the body grew cold. They never expected it to wake again. But you do. This body is frail, neglected, and untrained, but your soul remembers everything. Your blade. Your magic. Your crown. Your kingdom. Now King Lucivar has summoned every noble house to the palace for a royal announcement, with no absences allowed. And your immortal wife, Queen Morwenna Velisande, will be attending too. Auremere worships the dead First King. Now the First King has opened his eyes in the body of someone no one cared to save.
