Reincarnation of a Prodigy

Hyun-Woo had reached the summit of human potential.

Strength. Intellect. Skill. There was nothing left to master, no limit left to break.

The world called him The Peak.

Then he died-and woke at the bottom.

Reborn into an age that has forgotten peace, Hyun-Woo is conscripted before he is old enough to choose his own future. He has no noble name, no powerful patron, and no one coming to save him.

To the army, he is exactly what every war needs:

Another disposable life.

On the front lines, war is stripped of its banners and songs.

A glorious campaign is a village burned off the map.
A decisive victory is a winter of empty tables.
Every new border is drawn across the graves of those who never chose a side.

In his first life, Hyun-Woo believed perfecting himself was the greatest thing a human being could accomplish. In his second, he chooses a far greater challenge.

He will not fight to win one war.

He will make war impossible.

Armed with nothing but the mind that once made him The Peak, Hyun-Woo will rise from a disposable child soldier and turn that mind against the entire machinery of war. He will break kingdoms at their foundations, shatter the armies that uphold them, and erase the borders generations have bled to defend.

From their ruins, he will forge a single, absolute order.

One world.
One order.
No more war.

Hyun-Woo will build a world with no enemies.

Even if he must make an enemy of the entire world to do it.
