When I was 15, I lost my right hand on the battlefield. When I was 24, I mastered the skills that were necessary for my survival.But I was always told the same things, over and over:"Just quit. I'll gray even faster if I try to teach you sjutsu.""But if you weren't disabled, you could've learned anything you wanted, with nothing holding you back.""Hey, let's just collect herbs. Why are you so obsessed with swordsmanship?""Just live like everybody else."When I was 39, I lost my left hand and fell off a cliff. And when I swallowed the Artifact I had no knowledge about[ Searching powers ] Availability for growth Desire for knowledge Abyssal greed Power and tenacity Talent-less persistence-Reversing the instinctsAfter the battle, I was reborn as a 15 year old rookie.Experience points increased! Experience points increased! Experience points increased! Experience points increased! Experience points increased! From weather-worn mercenary Chris to young soldier Chris! It's the story of a skillful lad that found the glory on the battlefield. It's the story of a talent-less man going beyond, overstepping the limits. It's the story of an ordinary man becoming a knight. It's the story of an unordinary monarch protecting his people. It's the story of a man that returned to save his continent. Experience points acquired!

Nice story. Alot of things don't make sense tho, like 
Spoiler!
how a 1-arm loser knew all those important people, or how they even stopped the orcs in the first place, or how Lind knew about the dragon, how he knew where every artifact is or how those treasures were just abandoned, or how the people didn't find them for maybe hundreds of years and in his past life they were all found by random people and even a loser 1-arm man knew about all of them like it is common knowledge, or how those marriages happened when there was 0 romance and maybe 10 lines of dialogue between the married couples in the entire story.

But it's a manhwa so these type of things are normal. I also like how they don't drag the fights or stories too much, altho they straight up skip some of them entirely, like you see them fight a strong enemy and you expect some hyped up fight, but they just show one of them dead in the next panel with no explanation of how that happened.
Bonus points for being a finished manhwa and having a happy ending. Also the author didn't kill characters left and right for "character development" which i do appreciate.
Overall it's worth reading. I'll miss it. It was really fun.

Straight to the point, this is a must read, especially if you're into military, system, & world building. The story is simple, MC returns back in time and he wants to get stronger, whilst protecting the people close to him.

The MC is smart, he knows when to keep quite, when to pounce, when he gains more authority it's depicted well, in other series if someone became a leader of a country or region they'd just magicely be ok and continue with life, but here he builds a well rounded army, he has assassins watching over him, he has secret messangers and layers out his terrain well to his advantage, it gives a sense of reality. 

The side characters are given ample opportunity to grow both physically & mentally. The romance is pretty simple, but I don't mind that too much. The enemies he faces are cool in their own right, from the fighting style they use to their characterisitcs. The fight scenes are another amazing point.

Overall, I think you won't regret reading this.

First chp was a lil confusing to read but the story has potential and I surprised me yes they end up being ridiculously strong but through the journey they've gone its worth it! Especially when it comes to the mc, op but not corrupt a good man indeed!

I'm not used to this art style but honestly I'm GLAD i read this. It never dissapointed me, I thought at some point it would get boring but NO it only got better and better. I can't wait to read more. It's a 100/10 for me. For some readers the art style is something they can't get over (since they're not used to it) and that's okay (except people who give bad reviews just because of that) BUT if you can get past the art style i'm sure you'll like it; especially if you like action, war, smart mc (war strategy and all that). Anyways i don't want to spoil but I hope this was helpful.

It's amazing!!! If I were to say, it can go on par with manhwas that's extremely popular right now! Such as Solo Leveling, Trash of the Count's Family and TBATE, but no not on par with ORV. The only flaw of this manhwa is that the art style is down right bad but improved a bit later on. But over all, the pacing, the plot, the characters, the story, is 100% spectacular! I guarantee that it's worth your time to read this.

To be honest, the art at the start sucks. But it gets better with time so dont mind that too much. Everything except that is pretty much perfect.

It's a fuc**** gem 💎💎...yeah if you started reading the art style can we be turn off for some people but daam just read it for some time and it will grow on you  ...i fuc**** love the fact that not just mc is getting stronger but his friends and other near him all train and gets stronger ...not like other manhwa s where mc just gets stronger then the villian abducts or trys to kill mcs friend and mc have to save them every time ...in this without mc also those friends can sort out many situations and get out of dangerous situations

Hello! Welcome back to Ivern Reviews, the show where you are wrongI am right, and degeneracy is a moral imperative. In this review: The Story of a Low Rank Soldier Becoming a Monarch. A story about MC and his boys (*Grindr notification sound*) becoming the main bïtches of the land.

What are we dealing with? An action manga. Allegedly. But with some caveats. It has a system and the regression trope. Is it a standard power growth type, then? Nope, because the system is functionally irrelevant. His powerset is developed kinda irrationally, too. It's all confused, the wyzen powers themselves are a mess, and the levelling is obscure. This is not your standard shonen fare. 

And it shows in the art too. The usual sleek action artstyle is nowhere to be seen, and we have a very stylized and blocky one instead. It starts objectively lacking, and develops into its own thing. Not beautiful but gritty. They got cylinders for limbs tho. Hope you are into that.

Lastly, the writing. Strange. Characterization is bombastic, irrealistic, and erratic. Very likeable tho. While the plot jumps around like a frog: most emotional developments are simply not deserved, not earned, they just happen. Like: surprise! Character X has a breakthrough in his backstory. Which we told in chapter XX. And the breakthrough is in the same chapter. ENJOY!

What DOES it offer then? Growth. Not in the powers. Not in the characters. In authority. In kingdom building. This is the manga equivalent of Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. And that game is a proper heavy duty drug. It's precise, rational, fastly paced but not gratuitous. In this, it's perfect, especially thanks to some really inspired and grounded fight choreographies and strategies that fuel the "campaign". Proper badassness is assured.

I'd want to rate it a 5 stars, because it reads like one, being enjoyable like it is. But an 8½ on the Ivern Scale™️ and my assurances on the satisfaction you will feel reading it will have to suffice.

not to disagree that I am wrong and that you are right, but irrealistic is not a word.

Fellow Tarnished, do not be swayed by thine maidenless instincts, as they are not fit for an Elden Lord, such as thineself!
Praise the Erdtree and may Grace guide you once more, Tarnished warrior.
