Finn never really got a second chance. Not really. When the gunfire stopped, his life ended in a mess of blood. But then, he wakes up in a world that’s no kinder than the one he left behind, reborn as Ryu Hayato, a half-demon child of a great demonic warlord, caught between ruthless family politics, ancient curses, and a power he barely understands.
This new life isn’t a reset. It’s a new beginning drenched in blood. Every step Ryu takes drags him deeper into a war where survival means outsmarting enemies who don’t just want to kill him, but they want to erase him completely. And the system inside him? It’s a strange, unforgiving tool that both saves and condemns him to fates worse than death.
Ryu's heroic journey ended a long time ago, now he is forced to become something darker than he had ever imagined, because in this world, mercy is a foreign concept, and only the strongest claim their place and rise to the top.
