The Life After Death

He was a crime lord feared in a world of cybernetics and neon lights. Now he’s a newborn in a land of magic. When Arther Valentine dies, he expects oblivion, not a second life. Reborn as Emrys Valenhart in a realm of monsters and mana, he carries memories of blood, betrayal, and power earned through cruelty. But this time… he doesn’t want to rule. He wants what he never had. Family. Peace. Love. Yet in a world where strength determines survival and ancient forces stir in the shadows, Emrys quickly learns that escaping his past may be impossible, and protecting the people he grows to cherish may demand he become more terrifying than before. Because in this life, every bond has a price.
