At 79, Adom is an old mage who has known nothing but illness and regret. When the world finally burns and all hope turns to ash, at the last beat of his fading heart, a mysterious being appears in the dimming light with a simple question:
"If you could try again, would you?"
What's left to lose when you've already lost everything?
A handshake seals the deal, and Adom wakes up on his old school grounds, sixty-seven years in the past. When everything is still possible. A second chance with all his knowledge intact, his memories preserved, and his youth restored.
This time, Adom wants it all: to feast on food he's never had, to travel a world still full of wonder, to finally live the life he dreamed of. There's just, as always, one small catch—he needs to prevent the end of the world first.
But as Adom will soon discover, changing history might demand sacrifices even greater than watching it burn...
What to expect: This is a slow burn. And it's hopefully going to be a very, very long story. I wanted a character driven fantasy, with action, comedy, and a lot of heart in it. Everything has been carefully considered to create a coherent world with a magic system that makes sense.
Our protagonist is not OP (yet) but is not a pushover either, just a former researcher mage forced to become something else entirely to prevent his world's end and discovering that things were not entirely the way he thought. This is his journey, told step by step, with all the struggles and triumphs that entails.
