StandFast

Patrick never asked to be a king.

He was a soldier-trained to hold the line, not wear a crown.
Then the world broke.

Dragged from a modern battlefield into a brutal fantasy realm of elves, dwarves, barbarians, and empires, Patrick discovers he is not alone. Others from Earth have been brought here as well-each carrying the Echo of a legendary figure from history.

Leonidas.
Scipio.
Hannibal.
Joan of Arc.
Æthelflæd.
Ivar the Boneless.

Power is everywhere. Chaos is constant. And most rulers choose conquest.

Patrick chooses something else.

When a single village refuses to fall, it becomes Standfast-a refuge for the lost, the hunted, and the unwilling. As warlords rise and the Imperium tightens its grip, Patrick is named a War-King, a leader forged not by ambition, but by responsibility.

He builds laws before legends.
Schools before statues.
Hospitals before armies.

But the world doesn't want a man who refuses the crown.

As whispers begin comparing him to the myth of King Arthur, Patrick must fight a quieter war-against power, against legacy, and against becoming the very thing he swore never to be.

Because in a world shaped by heroes and monsters...

The most dangerous man is the one who holds the line.
