Emperor Ian Veroshion, the first noble mage, was betrayed and executed. Cursed to never be reborn, he awakens a century later as the illegitimate son of a disgraced ducal line, destined to be a hostage in a barbaric land. Stripped of his magic and his throne, he must navigate a world vastly different from the one he ruled, facing political machinations and a resurgent monster threat. But the embers of his past life still burn, and Ian will not surrender his legacy. He will reclaim his name, his magic, and perhaps, even his empire.

A Mage Reborn: Legacy of the Fallen Emperor

"Oh my, heavens. What is all that?"

"They said there was an uproar in the middle of the night."

"They said Ian was attacked on his way back to the mansion."

"Isn't that what they're investigating now? He went out to distribute Gula, and look at this disaster."

"Is Ian...? Is he one of those bodies?"

As dawn broke, everyone learned of the night's events. With corpses piled high, blocking the alley, it was impossible to keep it a secret. And what about the blood, flowing all the way to the main street?

The guards lined up the bodies for identification, while the people whispered, keeping their distance.

Meanwhile, the mansion was just as noisy, especially the basement of the main building.

Two of the attackers had survived.

One was presumed to be 'Petreyo,' the other an unidentified man. Petreyo, gagged, screamed, drenched in sweat, tears, and blood.
