Ignis Valerius, a celebrated noble knight in the 1600s, met his end not on the battlefield, but in the quiet of his own chambers, a victim of poisoned steel and a trusted spy's betrayal. Yet, his story did not end there.
He awoke in a world of arcane magic and mythical beasts, but his existence was now that of a hollow echo. He was no longer a man of flesh and blood, but a sentient suit of polished steel, with his rage and memories of betrayal burning like embers within his helm. He had become the Ember-Eyed Knight, a soul without a body, a hero imprisoned by his own armor.
Tragically, he found that he was completely powerless to move without a worthy wearer. His mind was sharp, his knightly skills and tactical brilliance were intact, but he was a static observer, a monument to a past life. To take his revenge, to uncover the truth behind his rebirth, and to navigate this new world, he must find and persuade a new body to carry him. His destiny is now tied to a stranger, and the knight who was betrayed must learn to trust again to have any hope of a return.
