REBORN AS A BETRAYED KNIGHT

--- Long Synopsis: Once, his name was legend. Ishi Crush, born a nameless child in the gutters of a war-torn city, rose through blood and steel to become the Shield of Valmire, General of the Silver Blades, and the man who turned commoners into heroes. He had no noble blood—only a dream: to build a world where no child would have to wield a sword to survive. He won war after war, led men with honor, and carried the hopes of a kingdom on his shoulders. But the higher he climbed, the more the nobles feared him. Jealousy twisted their hearts. A commoner loved by the people? A hero without blue blood? Unacceptable. They conspired. Betrayed him. On a mission labeled “decisive,” he was sent into a trap. Not a fortress—a grave. And the blades that struck him down were not wielded by enemies… but by those he called brother and sister-in-arms. As his blood soaked the cold earth and the sky burned crimson above, Ishi Crush should have died. But death… never came. Instead, a voice echoed through the void—non-human, emotionless, ancient. > [Abnormal Resurrection System Detected.] Candidate: Ishi Crush. Status: Betrayed. Slain. Probability of heroic death: Violated. Rebirth: Available. Accept resurrection? Yes / No Between agony and hatred, his soul screamed a single word: Yes. Now, Ishi awakens in the Sepulcher of Judgment—a cursed dimension where only the damned are reborn. Here, each trial is a war against guilt, pain, and fragments of one’s broken self. Here, even victory comes at the price of one’s humanity. And at the end of the path lies a choice: Become a monster. Or a god who returns to destroy the world that betrayed him. This is the story of a fallen hero. Of rage that defied death. And of vengeance so powerful, it could shatter fate itself.
