The Regressor Who Will Be King

Roan, a forgotten squad commander, met a cold, humiliating death on a forgotten battlefield. Twenty years of thankless service, of dreaming to become a Great General, had culminated in nothing but a meager salary and a spearman’s pitiful end. His last breath was filled with bitter regret for a life utterly squandered. But instead of oblivion, Roan jolts awake, violently thrown back twenty years to his young, naive self. His body is weak, but his mind is a living weapon, retaining every single memory from his brutal past life: every war, every enemy's weakness, every strategic blunder, and every hidden opportunity he missed. His new, audacious ambition burns brighter than ever: to ascend from a forgotten recruit to an absolute Monarch! His first challenge arrives immediately: a routine patrol that, in his past, led to a horrific goblin ambush, annihilating his entire unit. Roan knows precisely where, when, and how this massacre will unfold. Can he twist this predetermined disaster into his first decisive victory, carving an unstoppable path to the throne?
