“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!

Julian opened his eyes, shocked at the sudden change in his vision. A bright light shone, almost blinding him. Then three black screens appeared, showing him the paths of evolution.

Because he delayed his entry during his previous life, Julian could only evolve a single path with the forced class.

He shook his head, removing unwanted memories, and focused on the screens.

The first tree, Abyssal Sorcery (DPS Caster Focus), showed a dark creature casting a strange purple spell with a fierce face as the cover image. This seemed to focus on direct damage and Julian's strength.

"Harness the abyss to unleash devastating spells and raw shadow magic."

[◊ Will you take the path of Destruction? ◊]

'It's tempting to become stronger, but…' His eyes flicked to the second screen, the title, and theme causing him to frown, shaking his head immediately.
