Ryuu Reid was a soldier, a killer, a man who watched the world burn. Betrayed by the very nation he swore to protect, he died with a rifle to his head and a heart full of rage. That should have been the end.
But death has a twisted sense of humor.
Waking up in his ten-year-old body, Ryuu finds himself in the past, before the wars, before the chaos, before everything went to hell. With a mysterious System whispering in his mind and memories of a ruined Earth, he’s given a second chance to live… and maybe, just maybe, to make things right.
But fate doesn’t like being rewritten. Just as he prepares to face the day his parents should have died, it’s someone else’s family that falls apart instead. A girl with raven hair and a quiet sadness enters his life, Ryazania. The System knows her. It just won’t say why.
Wracked with guilt, Ryuu takes her in, protects her like he couldn’t protect anyone before. But with every step forward, he begins to wonder: was this second life truly a blessing or just another curse?
Because sometimes, to fix the world, you have to break yourself.
