Richard was a man living in endless monotony, until he died. Ironically, it was the most important moment in his life. Snatched from the afterlife by a dying god, he is granted their power. Granted the power of the Sanguine Flame, he is thrust into a new life. Reincarnated in the world of Markovia, a place of darkness and pain. Ruled by a council of hegemonic tyrants, is is use as a repository for their livestock. They are followers of the same god that granted Richard his power, but are far crueler, and twisted in mind and spirit. He must fight to survive, as beings as ancient and powerful as the lords of Markovia do not take kindly to threats to their authority.
