After dying in an earthquake, a doctor was reincarnated into the world of Ferrum. He was reborn as Thale Feldrast, a sickly noble child with a natural skill and a destiny to become one of the greatest villains in the world. After meeting the many individuals who played major parts in the original timeline, Thale briefly left his hometown of Sableton on a journey to see King Theophrastus III. This journey was soon interrupted, and Thale’s carriage was attacked by dozens of barbarians from the north. Thale’s father slaughtered these barbarians, and he was ordered to stay in Sableton for the foreseeable future.
Years later, Thale finished his development of “miracle powder,” a powder created using his knowledge of science from his old life that functions like modern pharmaceuticals, and he entered into an agreement with the Grimhold Guild to sell it to a wide market. Thale realized that the original Count Thale Feldrast still lived in his head, and he met Beltane Ostara, the man who would become his mentor.
Thale’s Ritual of Observation was carried out, and his stats were revealed to everyone in the village of Sableton. That night, Sableton was attacked by a raging band of orcs. Thale’s mother, Tabitha Feldrast, was killed, and the knight Sir Walter Goldshod was turned into a mindless husk as a result of this attack. The leader of the attack was revealed to be a knight dressed in red. Thale and Beltane attacked the Red Knight, and they were both lucky to escape with their lives.
After Tabitha’s death, Count Armond abandoned his family on a crusade to deliver mindless carnage upon those he deemed responsible. Soon after, Thale left his home behind with Beltane and the knight Sir Eadric Vanta.

More years passed, and Thale reached adulthood in the eyes of Etronia at the age of fifteen years old. He slew a great beast, took its head, and started carrying that head as a trophy to the capital city of Etron. On the way, he saved Haydith Thorn from members of the Lich Cult, an evil organization that worshiped the undead. In the process of saving Haydith, Thale killed a human for the first time by impaling a cultist with a spear of ice. Haydith was another Reincarnate, and she joined Thale’s group.
Thale arrived at the city of Etron, and started making it clear to anyone nearby that he desired an audience with the King. In reality, Thale wanted to meet with the King so that he could acquire the Staff of the Crimson Star. After visiting a magic item shop, Thale was brought to the King. Though Thale got heated during a game of chess, the King willingly gave Thale the staff he came for.
Soon after leaving Castle Etron, Thale was attacked by lich cultists. Through the use of his arcane skill and the many magic items he had already accrued, Thale was able to neutralize the two cultists without killing either of them. Thale ran into two trolls that were rampaging through the city, and he killed the two trolls with powerful fire magic.
With monsters rampaging through Etron, Thale regrouped with the rest of his party and rushed to take Haydith out of the city. Just as he was about to escape from Etron, a mage dressed in blue appeared in front of him and delivered a strange message: “Stay out of my business. Chaos is good for us.” Before Thale could ask another question, the Blue Mage disappeared.
