Rocco Di Malvento lived a short, but loving life in his previous world, surrounded by a caring family. Despite suffering from a terminal illness, he found solace in books, especially his favorite BL novel >. But when he dies, he wakes up in an unexpected new life—as the weak, neglected second son of a powerful mafia family. 

Now reborn in the world of the novel, Rocco finds himself in a terrifying situation: he's the useless younger brother of Sylas, the main protagonist, and likely doomed to die young unless he changes the course of his life. So, what's his plan? Simple—befriend the protagonist, avoid being a spoiled brat, and secretly recruit Sylas's future allies to protect him. 

First target? Georgio the Hyena, an infamous killer. Rocco's strategy: charm the terrifying man and make him his ally instead of Sylas’s. 

It's a ridiculous plan, but hey, at least Rocco is trying. Can he survive the mafia world and avoid his tragic fate? He hopes so. After all, he’s just a kid trying to make the most of his second chance!

No, it was anger—definitely anger.

He wasn't flustered or swooning, not even a little.

Laxus blinked at Rocco's fiery response, his expression unreadable for a moment, before slowly breaking into a practiced, almost too-perfect smile.

The smile was bright and cheerful, but there was something unnervingly precise about it, as if it had been crafted for effect.

"Rocco, are you still mad at me? If there's been a misunderstanding… that would make me a little sad."

Rocco squinted at Laxus, his suspicion palpable.

He kept his distance, maintaining at least two meters between them and refusing to let his guard down.

Seeing Rocco so defensive posture, Laxus let his shoulders droop slightly, his expression softening into a sad smile.

He spoke in a gentle voice, tinged with regret.
