After a tragic truck accident, 28-year-old Matsuda Ren believes his life has finally come to an end. The last thing he remembers is the crash... and the photograph of his former girlfriend, the woman he was never able to forget. But when he opens his eyes, Ren awakens inside a mysterious cabin, where he is greeted by a young mage named Mirelya and a warrior named Garrick. According to them, he has been summoned from another world to become the hero destined to stand against the Demon Army. Unsure whether this is a dream, a hallucination, or a genuine second chance at life, Ren decides to follow them and uncover the truth behind this unfamiliar world-its kingdoms, races, ancient artifacts, and the mysterious magic that shapes its very existence. As he searches for the reason he was chosen, Ren must also confront the scars he carried from his previous life and realize that not every answer lies in the world he once called home. In this second chance at life, Ren must decide whether to remain chained to the past... or find the strength to move forward.
