The Lord of the Rings: From the Start as a Ranger, Beginning with the Battle of Five Armies

Ryan transmigrates to Middle-earth. Here, there are beautiful elves, brave and steadfast dwarves, peace-loving hobbits, wizards who defend the world, and evil orcs...

The dwarven expedition has yet to begin, the dragon in the Lonely Mountain still sleeps, the royal bloodline of the Northern Dunedain lies dormant in the wilds, and the shadow of evil looms over the entire world.

These are the worst of times. Rising as a Ranger in the wilderness of the Western Continent, Ryan establishes a kingdom to resist the darkness.

Thorin: I can't imagine what it feels like for a mortal to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, but I have seen it with my own eyes.

Gandalf: I see a pure light in His Majesty Ryan, one capable of resisting all darkness.

Lord Elrond: This is my most prized student. He has inherited everything I learned in my life.

Galadriel: I thought the age of the elves had ended. It wasn't until Ryan planted the Elven God Tree with his own hands that I realized the elves' age was only just beginning.

The Dark Lord Sauron: I don't know what I did to offend him. He attacked me as soon as he showed up, and now he's determined to fight me to the death.
