A combat medic dies on the battlefield after his fireteam is hit with an IED while on patrol. While his spirit floats in an abyss of emptiness, an unearthly being find him and sends him towards a light. He finds himself inside a body of an ancient mechanical Golem, sitting on a throne in an underground ruin. What's worse is that there's a group of adventurers in front of him ready to take him out! What will he do with this second chance at life? *Inspired by Isekai novels like Reincarnated as a Sword and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, this is my own take on the Isekai genre A light-hearted Seinen action and comedy romp with slightly different take on familiar Isekai tropes, and some that still play it straight, that I'll hope you'll enjoy.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
