In his previous life, Kaelen was an ordinary man with a troubled past. Abandoned by his parents and shuffled between foster homes, he worked tirelessly to survive, graduating college and seeking a better life. But after a failed job interview, fate intervenes when a disaster strikes, and he dies while heroically saving others. Given a second chance by a god from another realm, Kaelen is reincarnated into a world of dragons and magic—on a mission to restore balance and peace to a kingdom on the brink of destruction.
Waking up in a new body, Kaelen finds himself once again abandoned—this time in the aftermath of a brutal attack on his village. Now driven by a deeper purpose and haunted by his past, he must embrace his destiny as the last heir of the Dragon's Bloodline. Will he rise to reclaim his rightful place and stop the forces of darkness, or will his will to survive be tested beyond its limits?

THE DRAGON’S BLOODLINE

The bitter taste of resolve filled his mouth as he turned to face his team. Alyssia, Garrick, and Ashar sat huddled together, their bruised faces illuminated by the flickering firelight. Their expressions mirrored his own—weariness, pain, and an unspoken hope that had been crushed too many times to count.

"I'm leaving," Kaelen said, his voice firm, though it quivered with an undercurrent of pain.

Alyssia shot to her feet, her chains clinking. "What are you talking about? You can't just walk away!"

"I can't stay either," Kaelen replied, his tone cold but resolute. He glanced at each of them, his voice rising. "I'm done following a prophecy that's brought us nothing but ruin. Done pretending that I'm the savior the world needs when all I've done is fail you. Fail everyone."

Ashar rose slowly, his usually calm demeanor tinged with disbelief. "You think walking away will fix anything? You think you can fight Thorne on your own without us, without your power?"
