DEXTER.

Dexter He spent his first life killing people. Not because he wanted to. Because that was the life he was given. Trained from childhood to become one of the world's deadliest assassins, he eventually reached the point where he wanted only one thing: a quiet life. But after one final confrontation leaves him dying beneath the moonlight, he awakens in a place beyond death. There, he meets a goddess. She's bored. He's unimpressed. And after discovering that the goddess's previous story was, in his opinion, absolute garbage, Dexter gives her a piece of his mind. So she gives him a second chance. Reborn as an abandoned baby and taken in by a kind old man, Dexter finally gets the life he always wanted. He grows up with a loving grandfather, makes a best friend, discovers games, school, friendship, and all the ordinary experiences he was denied in his first life. But Dexter hasn't forgotten what he was. His combat skills remain. His intelligence remains. And as he grows older, he quietly develops his skills in technology, programming, cybersecurity, and engineering while secretly preparing for the possibility that his peaceful life might one day be threatened. Then, at seventeen, two strangers knock on his door. They claim to be his biological parents. Suddenly, the peaceful life Dexter spent years building begins to collide with a past he never knew. A powerful family. Hidden secrets. Old wounds. New enemies. And a goddess watching everything from inside his head. Dexter spent his first life learning how to survive. Now he has to learn something much harder: How to live. And if anyone tries to take that life away from him... They'll learn exactly why the man he used to be was feared.
