Summary
What happens when humanity’s greatest weapon gets a second chance at life? Commander Kronos wasn’t even considered to be a human but rather a weapon to be used for the greater good of his species. He was grown in a tube to be the perfect weapon so he lacked many emotions, experiences most people take for granted. Upon experiencing some emotions for the first time he was quickly eliminated by humanity and was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery, getting a second lease on life.
Of course, he didn’t see it that way at the start and thought he was being fooled. It took a near-death experience and a lot of growing up but he finally decided to keep his promise to his former comrades and give his new life an honest try.
Embark on the story of the former Commander of Hades Squad as he settles into his new life as the Dark Elf Kaladin Shadowheart.

Kind Words From Some Of My Readers-
I just binged read from Prologue 1 in a period of 2 days. This right there has got to be one of the best stories I’ve read on HFY. Amazing writing with a captivating world and setting, relatable, and “Human” characters, and a great conflict driving the story. I need to see how it ends and I hope the end is far away. – Choice_Safe471 on Reddit
I’ve done exactly what Choice_Safe did, binged it hard. I gotta say, bro, I was a sobbing mess last night reading volume 1. I let myself get immersed and I was completely pummelled by that last chapter. You’ve got another big fan! – Ronin-Vs-World on Reddit.
I love your story a lot, and I love the effort you put into it to make each chapter long enough to take some time to think about what’s going on. You’ve got an awesome twist on the normal idea of a reincarnation fantasy with the MC being a lot more serious than some other all-powerful godlike idiot of an MC. Yours has got to be one of the best I’ve read so far. – bengordo on Royal Road.
Found it on the rising stars. I truly enjoy the crisis the MC went through. The world of discovery and the stress keeps me reading till late in the night. Thanks for sharing your story. – Germain on Royal Road.
Lots of stories have a good premise and not a good execution. You have found a way to tell this story so well and the ideas behind it are so good. I can’t get enough, keep up the good work! – Anonymous Ko-Fi Donator
Love this series I would gladly buy this if you ever decide to have it published. – Anonymous Google Poll Responder

Things to Expect From My Story-
This is a reincarnation fantasy first and foremost. There are elements of soft-Sci-Fi but Sci-Fi is not the primary genre.
This is a progression story. It starts from before reincarnation, then to his eventual rebirth, and will hopefully follow his life as he continues to change and grow.
This story focuses on the rebirth of the MC and his new life in a new world. Although there is combat and adventure, this story is mainly about the MC’s personal growth, withering as a person. It is about the connections he forms with the people in this new world, for better or worse.
This is not a power fantasy nor a military, mil-sim story. Although the MC was a powerful soldier in his previous life that is no longer the case considering the circumstances of his reincarnation. However, this does not mean the MC is weak nor has he forgotten about his past life. He will become stronger in a “realistic way” through time, training, and overcoming obstacles.
This is the story of a former soldier who was used as a tool by his species. He is attempting to live a new “normal” life on his terms. The MC openly rejects his previous life as he strives to be a better version of himself. However, the world has different plans.
