Chris, a battle-hardened mercenary who lost an arm and countless comrades, meets his end after swallowing a mysterious artifact during a brutal encounter. Instead of dying, he awakens in the past as a fifteen-year-old foot soldier—whole once again. Armed with memories of failure, war, and sacrifice, Chris vows to rewrite history. This time, he will protect those who once fell, seize opportunities he previously missed, and climb from the lowest ranks of the battlefield toward absolute power. His goal is no longer survival—but sovereignty.
Becoming the Monarch is a classic regression war fantasy that leans heavily into preparation, experience, and command. Chris isn’t gifted power overnight—his advantage is knowledge earned through suffering.
The series excels when depicting battlefield decisions and leadership growth, showing how small choices ripple into massive outcomes. Rather than glorifying carnage, it emphasizes responsibility and foresight.
Ideal for readers who enjoy military-focused regression stories where strategy matters as much as strength.
