“Don’t get carried away. Absolutely do not. I’m warning you—don’t do it!!” “How did it come to this?” Blessed with a superior lineage, noble heritage, and innate talent, Claym Bradley, the heir of a marquisate, had ridden high on his advantages from birth. However, his excessive arrogance eventually led to his execution. To the world, his demise was a fitting punishment for a life of unchecked cruelty and tyranny. But Claym himself couldn’t understand why he deserved such a fate. It was only at the brink of death that he realized the truth: those he trusted and considered friends had betrayed him. Thus, abandoned and with no one to save him, his life came to a bitter end.

Yet, he soon saw this as an opportunity: “I won’t make the same errors again. This time, I’ll abandon everything and lead a calm, slow life!” Determined to rewrite his fate, Claym resolved to start over. But fate had other plans. Trials and tribulations unimaginable in his first life began to test the newly reformed Claym, now striving to be a decent human being. Could he truly achieve the peaceful, idyllic life he longed for?
