Leon Thorne was the disgrace of his house, overweight, softspoken, and dismissed as a failure before he ever picked up a sword. Mocked during the Awakening and branded an F-rank, he was expected to fade quietly from the halls of power.

But he didn’t.

Because this wasn’t his first life.

In another timeline, Leon watched House Thorne fall, shamed, scattered and erased from history. Powerless to stop it then, he’s been given one chance to rewrite it now.

Stripped of excuses and reshaped by hardship, Leon claws his way forward—through blood, sweat and silence. Now, leaner and sharper, he enters an academy where only strength speaks and legacy decides your worth.

But Leon carries no crest. No backing. Just scars, a sword, and the will to shatter fate itself.

He’s not looking to be acknowledged or praised.
He’s going to rewrite everything.

NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.
