The Second Marshal

The last Marshal built eighty thousand iron soldiers. He destroyed a kingdom in one night. They erased his name and sealed the class forever. That was a thousand years ago. I died on Earth. Woke up in a seventeen-year-old's body in a border town called Greymarsh. Sick. Broke. Three years of gate-wisp fever that kept me from awakening while everyone else got their classes and moved on with their lives. Nobody noticed me. The old woman who took me in — Maren — she noticed. She made tea I never asked for and hung iron chimes on the door that didn't do anything. That was enough. Then I stepped on the steel ring and it pulsed grey. Not blue like Common. Not green like Rare. Grey. A color the hall had never seen. A color the System had locked away for a thousand years. I got the class that destroyed Valdenmere. The class that killed two hundred thousand people. The class that every government in the Dominion considers a walking catastrophe. Legion Marshal. Hidden Unique. Army summoner. And my first iron knight? He looked like war given a body. I don't want the attention. I don't want the Authority knocking on my door. I want to clear gates, keep Maren safe, and maybe figure out why the System chose me before whatever is hiding inside it figures it out first. But iron knights are not quiet. And the people who run this world have a very simple policy for summoners they can't control. They disappear them.
