Rise of the Horde Blurb

Xiao Chen, a name whispered with awe and respect throughout the ranks of Huaxia’s military, was a soldier unlike any other. His genius for unconventional tactics, bordering on the bizarre, yielded victories against seemingly insurmountable odds. He rose through the ranks with meteoric speed, a young lieutenant transformed into one of Huaxia’s youngest generals. Yet, his brilliance attracted the envious whispers of older, more entrenched figures. Betrayal, a serpent coiled in the heart of trust, struck Xiao Chen down. Murdered by men he considered brothers, his spirit, burning with a thirst for vengeance, found itself adrift in the swirling currents of time and space.

Then, a blinding light.

When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, the sterile white walls of a hospital were replaced by a crude, dimly lit cave. Panic surged through him as he took in his new form – a hulking mass of emerald green muscle, towering nearly seven feet tall. Razor-sharp tusks protruded from his lower jaw, and pointed ears reminiscent of a wolf twitched on his head. A primal urge, an unfamiliar hunger for battle, roared within him. He wasn’t a soldier anymore. He was an orc, a creature born and bred for war, a monstrous outcast in a world far removed from the one he knew.

This wasn’t just rebirth; it was a complete transformation. In Rise of the Horde by Draejon, Xiao Chen, the fallen general, must navigate a brutal new reality as a member of a race feared and reviled. Will his tactical brilliance translate to the savagery of orc warfare? Can he find his place in this violent society, or will his thirst for vengeance consume him from within? This is the epic tale of a warrior reborn, a general forced to become a monster, in a world where survival hinges on the edge of a blade.
