Yuto Velkyne spent his life believing that heroes were chosen by the stars. He became a king, fought beside the man he trusted as a brother, married the woman he loved, and thought that after defeating the Seven Eclipses, he had finally earned the peaceful life they had all fought for.
He was wrong.
In a single night, Shiro betrayed him. Yuto lost his wife, his daughter, his kingdom, and everything he had spent his life protecting, only to realize that the Constellations he once trusted had been watching his suffering as if it were nothing more than entertainment. With death closing in and the stars still laughing above him, Yuto rejected them and reached for the only thing they seemed to fear: the Void.
When he opens his eyes again, he is a child with no memory of the life he lost, trapped among s*aves and forced to survive with nothing but a name he barely recognizes. His memories may be gone, but his body still remembers how to fight, and somewhere deep inside him remains a hatred he cannot explain.
As those memories slowly return, so does the reason he was given another chance. Yuto has already lost everything once. This time, he intends to grow strong enough to protect what matters to him—and settle the score with the man who took his life and the stars that treated it like a game.
