Reborn as the Last van Ambrose
Elias "Grim" Kingsley, a nine-year-old orphan with a hardened heart and sharp tongue, dies alone from pneumonia in an overcrowded orphanage. Known for his perpetual scowl and biting remarks, he's labeled a "problem child" by caretakers and "damaged goods" by potential adopters. Years of rejection have built thick armor around his young heart.
In death, he encounters the God of Balance who offers him a second chance at life in a different world—this time as Grim Van Ambrose, son of a noble house. Balance explains that every soul deserves to know love and connection, something Elias was cruelly denied in his first life.
Promised the family and belonging he never experienced, Grim begins his new life only to suffer an immediate tragedy: his mother dies moments after his birth. This cruel twist of fate reinforces his belief that loss is inevitable, leaving him with a distant father and the mysterious voice of a "Guidance Assistant" in his head.
As Grim grows into his new identity, he struggles with his dual nature—the emotional scars of his past life bleeding into his present one. His difficult personality and sharp tongue remain, now paired with noble privilege and expectations. Despite his outward brashness, he carries the deep wounds of his first life and the fresh loss that welcomed him into his second.
What begins as one orphan's second chance evolves into an epic journey through a world of ancient beasts, elemental magic, and deadly political intrigue. As Grim uncovers the truth about the Ambrose Clan's fall from grace and the conspiracy that framed them for treason, he faces increasingly dangerous adversaries—both human and monstrous. His quest for revenge against those who destroyed his family's legacy will challenge him to master forbidden techniques, forge unexpected alliances, and ultimately decide whether to rebuild the Ambrose Clan as it was, or transform it into something entirely new.
In a realm where power determines survival and ancient secrets lurk beneath noble facades, Grim must learn that sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with swords, but with the choices that define who we truly are.
the story starts well with an interesting cast and setup but quickly devolves into tedium. the mc acts like a spoiled brat despite being an adult mentally. he's also just a cog in everyone else's game despite how grand and important he tries to make himself seem. great potential but wasted execution
This is really Amazing 👏🤩. No one should miss this
I liked this book a lot. The main character was smart and didn’t make dumb choices, which I appreciate. The worldbuilding was really detailed and made sense, like everything had rules. I liked the sword fights and the politics. There wasn’t too much romance, which was good. Some parts were intense. I liked how everything connected at the end. I will read the next one when I get my free pass.
Definitely sucks you into the storyline quickly ! Great read so far
the story is good except for MC.He acts like the strongest and tries to pick fight with older generation but when it come to fight he struggles to wins against their sons.well he definitely strong for his age but Don't make him arrogant infront of house head only for him struggle against their sons/daughter.
Very good novel with Excellent writing quality. MC is determined , strong and doesn't like hiding in the shadows.He is being forced to act as the hero but it is understandable since he is very young and his family has fallen. My personal suggestion is to make the dialogues with the ladies less" bratty " and more " Classy " . Keep up the good work Author. We expect a lot of great works from you.
the boy starts out hurt, damaged and upset by the shitty deal he was dealt by life. but by the third chapter he is slowly understanding more of his world and it almost feels like he's becoming less jaded and more open to the new world around him. can't wait to continue reading more when I have time.
Grim is sharp, stubborn, and battle-hardened! The perfect storm of rage, sarcasm, and discipline. His scars run deeper than his skin, and it shows in every brutal, no-nonsense choice he makes. A compelling main character who's easy to root for, even when he's his own worst enemy.
I only read the unlocked chapters so keep that in mind, but while the story could have potential this whole part just seemed like a prologue with too much suspense considering that the real story would begin in the locked chapters, I believe that was a mistake on the authors part because it doesn’t give the readers the opportunity to get invested in the story, there is no real progress in the development of the character and his relationships all ground to zero when the prologue ends, so, at least for me, it just kind of felt pointless
I haven't even read it, I'm giving it five stars because I can. If the novel is really bad, I'll update the rating.jajajaja😀🫠😀🫠😀🫠kakakak
Waste of space, waste of time, and waste of words. Do need anymore to convince yourself that you could get past chapter 20 without being brain dead or simply lacking any sense backbone
