Description
Waking up to a kidnapping, not surprising for a crime syndicate member, Grey thought he could solve it the usual way. But the world is not what it used to be. Brutal beating, crippling injury, greedy nobles, arranged marriage, century old debt… the list just goes on. And it is all for Grey to tackle, while relying only on his sharp wits and modern knowledge.
Note:
- Slow burn for the first 20 chapters as to establish setting and characters, then 20 onwards picks up the necessary pace.
- I do not have concrete grasp over the holy language known asEnglish. So please go easy on me, and point out the flaws.

- TarifuRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I quite like this book so far specifically the world building and the foreshadowing that’s been done from the very start. I do think that’s there’s a lot of potential for the story to turn into something magical with the ground work that is being set.
The MC is an interesting one so far. From the information that’s available so far we can understand that he wasn’t the typical joe before the reincarnation and from how he’s dealing with the stress of starting again especially in a difficult position we are quickly seeing the “worst” of his character I assume but I believe the reaction is realistic especially with his response to the beginning incident.
Now my main hopes for his development is we see the prowess that’s been mentioned and hinted at and also seeing a little indulgence in the humor side of things and I’m emphasising on the little because I understand the theme or better yet understand the character that’s trying to be painted.
I’ve caught up so I’m going to save more chapters and see in the future how this book develops; I wish the author the best and to keep up the good work
