Synopsis
Once a creature of fire and myth, Kaito now walks the world in human skin—quiet, guarded, and carrying a past no one else can see. Reincarnated into a life of classrooms, markets, and fragile peace, he tries to live as a student rather than the force of destruction he once was. But peace does not forget power. When a brutal attack shatters the academy and leaves his friends broken and bleeding, Kaito is forced to fight while wounded, revealing traces of something far more dangerous than he intends. As rumors spread and shadows tighten around the city, it becomes clear the enemy is no longer testing his strength—they are studying his choices. Surrounded by the Circle, bound by loyalty, fear, and hope, Kaito must heal while knowing he is being watched. Villagers offer gratitude. Enemies offer patience. And somewhere in the dark, a plan unfolds that doesn’t require his death—only one wrong decision. In a story of recovery, restraint, and rising tension, this volume explores what it means to protect others when your greatest weapon is the very thing you must keep hidden.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The reckoning

Inside of the dying light of the battlefield, the Nexus Dragon's once-majestic form lays crumpled and defeated, his scales cracked and bloodied. The air, thick with the stench of destruction, seemed to mourn the fall of the great beast whose roar had once commanded the skies. As the dragon's fiery breath waned to a faint glow, his final thoughts were consumed by the looming figure of the Insect God—a deity whose treachery had led to this ruin. With his last ounce of strength, the dragon's essence spiraled into the void, a spark of rage and vengeance against the one who had orchestrated his downfall.

Reincarnated into the body of a young man, the Nexus Dragon's spirit now inhabited the form of a lowly F-class mage named Kaito Taiyashè, a far cry from his former grandeur. Kaito's new existence was fraught with insignificance, struggling with weak spells and scorn from more powerful mages. Yet within him, the dragon's ancient fury burned brighter than ever. With every heartbeat, he swore an oath of vengeance against the Insect God who had wronged him. In this new life, he would reclaim his power, not just to regain his lost glory but to enact a cataclysmic revenge upon the very deity that had doomed him.
