Seven Heavens, Seven Hells

Raymon Lehvise didn't expect to be a hero. Growing up in the rural territories of the Royal Astonian Empire, he escaped his life of poverty to join the Army. Of course, he didn't realize what he was getting himself into. After a moment of insane bravery, he attracted the attention of a powerful patron, and found him escalated into positions of authority. Soon Ray realizes that he's in a battlefield much more dangerous than war. In the political arena, friends are rare, alliances untrustworthy, and situations uncertain. As a new threat arises to the Crown, only an act of insane bravery can save the Empire. Thankfully, Ray has been there before.
