Western Fantasy Lord: I Picked Up a Princess from the Start

[Western fantasy + lord + elves + giants + dwarves + orcs + goblins + gremlins]

Lin Mo, a twenty-first-century firefighter, died in a mudslide while saving a child.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into the body of an ordinary soldier in the Ogden Empire, freshly killed in the Battle of Bloodpass.

Before he could even celebrate his new life, he realized he was lying in a pile of corpses. The princess he had risked his life to save from an orc’s blade was limping as she tried to drag his body back to camp.

The veterans said that in troubled times, the lives of common folk were as worthless as grass.

But Lin Mo refused to believe in fate.

The empire was rotten, the borders were in ruins, foreign races lurked on every side, and its own people were locked in infighting.

Drawing on the iron will, keen eye for danger, and rescue skills forged during his past life as a firefighter, he rejected the brute force of sword and sorcery and rose to prominence in the cracks between powers.

He taught the militia how to build fire-resistant fortifications, led his squad in ingenious raids behind enemy lines, and used his far-reaching vision to forge a fragile alliance between humans, dwarves, and elves.

He went from a forgotten fallen soldier to the princess’s most trusted captain of the shadow guard, and finally to the Iron Wall Commander whose name inspired fear across the continent.

Some called him the empire’s last loyal hound; others, a warlord who rose amid chaos.

He simply tightened his grip on his sword and gazed at the burning sky in the distance.

In this damned world, he would carve out a clean stretch of land for all those struggling to survive.
