Having been reincarnated into an unfamiliar world, I spent decades living as Grace Valencia, the King of Mercenaries.

All that remained to me was a fearsome reputation and my precious young daughter, Lucia, who meant more to me than anything in the world.

But when Lucia turned five, I witnessed the miraculous awakening of her sacred powers.

At that moment, forgotten memories came flooding back, shaking my entire world.

This was the world of a novel called The Ashen Saintess.

And my daughter, Lucia, was its protagonist—a girl destined to be exploited under the title of Saintess and eventually meet a tragic end on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, Lucia. Your father will take care of everything."

As her father, I made my decision: I would cut through the novel's destined ending with my own sword.
