“Reincarnation? Rebirth? Regression? What bullshit!” 

These were Julian's words when he realised the world rejected his desire to rest and pushed him toward destruction. He once watched his kingdom fall and endured losing his lover after reincarnation. 

“I've had enough…”

Julian's spirit shattered, and he died fighting the Devils who destroyed the world.

He wouldn't fight again.
He couldn't endure another life.
He shouldn't seek happiness.
 
Yet, once again, he returned.

Julian was reincarnated on Earth, Reborn after his failure, and then regressed to before everything happened. He then returned to Avalon, his fallen kingdom.

With fractured memories and a jaded heart, he refused to follow the same path.

'This time, I will stop her death.'

But,

[◊ Awaken, My Dear Child, you can still save Avalon! ◊]

The Goddess Solaria wouldn't let him rest. 

[◊ I will grant you the power to change your fate. ◊]

Solaria granted Julian a special Title and an SSSR Rank Class.

A title granted to one existence.

The Heir of Shadows. 

The 13th Divine.

Class Awakened: Shadow Mancer (SSSR)
• The one who controls all shadows and summons unique monsters of unequalled strength and potential.

Title Gained: Heir of Shadow 
• Unlocks a unique growing class and increases resistance to corruption by 100%

In the same world that he despaired and failed, Julian was given a third chance. 

In the same world that would soon collapse, he swore to survive and save her life.

He would summon an army of invincible shades!

—------
The MC will be a Summoner/Necromancer/Mage primarily and will NOT use swords or spears.

His main weapon is a wand, although he won't be weak physically due to constant training. 

He will NOT be at the same level as someone who evolved and gained a physical type class. 

This doesn't mean he will be weak—it just means he won't be able to do everything like some boring and overpowered characters who ruin the entire class fantasy.

Reborn Regress Return: I Am the Heir of Shadows!

A comfortable warmth flowed into Julian's body, like liquid fire poured onto ice after Sena fasted his tunic. The soothing sensation gradually eased the painful sting of his wounds, allowing him to recover. His breathing steadied as his muscles relaxed, and the heat helped him relax.

Sena's new swords sliced through the air, a few steps away with one wreathed in fire, the other glistening with frost. Her twin blades danced along with her movements, their opposing elements weaving a beautiful image of fire and ice.

Julian watched, sucking in his breath in admiration.

Sena faltered mid-motion from his sudden compliment, nearly fumbling and breaking her stance. Her eyes fluttered and flicked to Julian, and suddenly couldn't help but become shy.

Her cheeks burned a deep red. His expression completely unreadable and serious, as if he could only see her in this beautiful forest glowing pink with each petal.
