Synopsis
Vlad started out as a poor boy living in the slums but dreamed of becoming a knight. After being struck by a strange lightning, he gained a powerful voice in his head that helps him with fighting tactics and sword skills. But Vlad still has to work hard to master these skills.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mysterious “Voice” that guides Vlad?
The Voice is a spiritual entity that awakened in his mind after Vlad was struck by the black lightning. Unlike standard “system” tropes that just hand out free, overpowered cheat skills, the Voice acts more like a harsh, incredibly experienced mentor. It provides Vlad with unparalleled tactical insights, lost sword techniques, and situational awareness, but Vlad still has to put his own body through absolute hell to physically execute the moves. It’s a dynamic of pure hard work supplemented by ancient wisdom.
Why does Colin hate Vlad so much?
Colin’s hatred stems from deeply wounded aristocratic pride. As the “Warthog of Pilos,” Colin is arrogant and relies heavily on his noble status and brute strength. In a past encounter, he was humiliated and outmaneuvered by the knights of Bayezid, specifically involving Vlad and his mentor figures. Seeing Vlad—a mere slum-born squire—standing confidently against him completely shatters Colin’s fragile ego, turning a simple mercenary raid into a desperate, furious quest for personal revenge.
