This Sword Killed My Ancestor

This is more than a sword. It is the spark of a civilization, forced to catch fire.

In the Kingdom of Roymel, a conspiracy involving the son of Count Gerhard plunged the Drake family into the abyss of destruction. At the brink of doom, Drake activated the forbidden System inside his ancestral silver sword. It contained a vast body of knowledge far beyond its time.

Once unlocked, anything he didn't understand could be scanned.

With this power, he became a genius in his allies' eyes and a nightmare to his enemies.

Exiled to the impregnable Ironwall City, he met the heroine, who bore a fate like his own. When the last bond tying her to the past, her younger brother, died, Drake naturally became the new master of the fortress.

At last, the time of lying low was over, and the wildfire began. Using the city as his base, he launched eight years of frenzied reform:

- Shaping minds: He founded a theological academy, replacing chaos with a unified faith.

- Reforming institutions: He established a civil academy to forge a ruthless bureaucracy loyal to him.

- Building a powerful army through technology: With engineering and military academies as his foundation, he created an iron army that outclassed its age.

As infighting rotted the kingdom from within, Drake emerged with the “Academy Tower” system he had carefully cultivated. From abolishing slavery and sweeping the people into his cause to trampling the entire continent of Yalan beneath iron hooves...

This Sword Took the Lives of My Grandfathers has never been just a tale of revenge. It is the death knell of the old world, and an epic of a new civilization written in iron and fire.
