Unfortunately, his reign is cut short due to a rebellion led by his nephew, resulting in Ian’s imprisonment.
In a twist of fate, the wizard Naum uses forbidden space-time magic to save Ian, transporting him 100 years into the past. In this new timeline, Ian reincarnates as the illegitimate son of the Margrave family, which was wiped out a century ago. Now faced with the challenge of navigating a hostile world where he’s viewed as a lowly bastard, Ian must avoid becoming a hostage to barbarians and unravel the dark conspiracies that led to his downfall in the previous timeline.
The manhwa is rich in themes such as revenge, political intrigue, power struggles, and the use of magic in warfare, making it an intense and captivating read.
