Reborn in the Dark Ages: The Iron Duke's Ambition: LitRPG Historical Medieval Dark Fantasy

Lore Unlock: "The Ashen Prophecy (Fragment)" - Acquired via Shaman's Token (Wyrda's Imprint).Quest Update: "The Horned God's Prophecy" - New Clue: Saxon prophecy links Gerhard's current actions and his inherent nature ("Serpent Shadow") to a potential cataclysmic awakening of a destructive force ("fire that sleeps beneath the world, awakened by the Horned One's chosen"). Ambiguity: Is Gerhard the "chosen" who awakens it, or the one who might prevent it by his actions, or is the prophecy a self-fulfilling doom regardless of his choices?Duke Gerhard, the Iron Wolf of Thuringia, now a seasoned Marshal in Charles Martel's service, plunges deeper into the blood-soaked Saxon forests. His mission: to crush the last vestiges of rebellion led by the formidable warrior-king Hadugrim and the enigmatic Völva Wyrda. But victory demands a heavy price, as each battle fought, each ruthless decision made, strengthens the chilling power of the Serpent Within, further eroding the man he once was.As Gerhard navigates treacherous ambushes and the insidious magic of his enemies, he uncovers the ancient power of Iron Runes, a legacy of his own Thuringian bloodline that offers new, dangerous possibilities. Yet, a disturbing new prophecy - the Ashen Prophecy - whispers of a fiery doom tied to his conquests and the dark entity he carries.Haunted by the cost of his growing power and the ever-present threat of cosmic horrors, Gerhard must fight not only the Saxons but also the encroaching darkness in his own soul. Can he secure his hard-won ducal authority and protect Thuringia, or will the Iron Wolf's relentless ambition lead him, and all he commands, into an inescapable abyss? The game of power takes a darker, more personal turn, where every choice could lead to ultimate triumph or a devastating reckoning.Keyword: dark fantasy, historical fantasy, military fantasy, adventure, litrpg, gamelit, isekai, reincarnation, progression system, harem, romance. adult, kingdom building, grand strategy, crusader kings, game of thrones
