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!

The fact that such an important backstory was portrayed so briefly stirred up quite a bit of debate on the forums.

However, it was likely a stylistic choice by the author to convey the kind of tragic events that are commonplace in the mafia world.

At the time, Rocco had read those discussions and praised the author as a genius.

However, now, having been reincarnated into this world, he found himself harboring a deep resentment toward that brief portrayal of such a pivotal moment.

After all, he had completely forgotten about it.

The terrible past experienced by Laxus had been so briefly mentioned that it had slipped his mind entirely.

"Which family is behind this, I wonder? Or... could it be related to that 'mastermind'?" Rocco muttered to himself.

The villain and the protagonist were facing off, just like in an action novel.
