"A soul tarnished by the blood of countless others can't possibly ascend to heaven."
Matthijs Geiger, a military sniper known as Sierra 1, initially entered the battlefield seeking an end to his sorrow, hoping to find solace in death after the loss of his wife, Arlene.

In his final assignment, while aiming to take out a high-profile commander, he was suddenly ambushed and killed by an unexpected assailant. As he succumbed to his wounds, Matthijs's last thoughts were a desperate prayer for peace and a reunion with Arlene in the afterlife.
But fate had a different plan. Instead of the peace he craved, he was reborn in another world, given a single, daunting quest:
Main Quest: Save this Nation

Hi! Dow here! Giving myself the obligatory shameless 5 stars while also starting off the review chain! So, just wanted to give you a brief run-down of things that will in the majority of this story. 1. Kingdom Building - Without spoiling much, he will end up in a position where he needs make use of his knowledge of runes and science to help develop technology in this nation. 2. Strategy - I mean, the story is about Redemption, can't be having him going around killing people willy-nilly. He'll be put in a position where he HAS to improvise and strategize to minimize the losses to lives. 3. No Smut, No Harem - Look here. My guy is dedicated to Arlene. But who knows whether he'll move on from her in the future. 4. World Building - I like to start the stories off slow, expect around 15 chapters before we get to a more progression focused and kingdom building related chapters. But I promise you I won't make it boring on the journey there :D. Finally, if you have any questions, feel free to post it underneath this! I know I am not the best author, and maybe my English might not be the best, but I hope through this story I can convey to the world this intricate world I have come to love. Thanks!!! P.S That's another picture of my guy Matthijs Geiger.
