Summary

He was once a simple boy, drifting aimlessly along with the flow of the world. But one day, he awakened to find himself being different from his usual self, finding himself now hosting the body of a newborn.

He had been reincarnated, that too as the sole prince and heir of the human empire. Now living in a world of sword and magic, filled with fantastical beasts, demi-humans, divine beasts, Goddesses and so much more. Life finally seemed to take a turn for the better for the reincarnated boy.

However, as always, reality had its cruel ways of disappointing him. His parents died shortly after his birth in a war to save humanity, subjecting him to the life of an orphan. All the people vying for the throne turned against him, looking for any and all opportunities to kill him, the last living heir to the throne. Fortunately, he had his aunt, his last living family, who helped protect him by becoming the acting queen but this came with the price of being holed up in his palace till his ‘awakening’ which would enable him to defend himself and survive in this cruel world…

Witness his tale of struggle, of valor, of love, of lust as he goes against his fate and destiny and embarks on a path that would lead him to the very center of the conflict, of the mystery, of the truth that spanned since the very creation of this world.

    After chapter 575 which is titled “Chapter 535: ICE?” It skips about 40 chapters worth of content and immediately goes into “Chapter 577” also the chapter titled “chapter 611” has the wrong contents and is a spoiler.

    Can someone tell me if there are all chapters? I dont know what is with those numbers on last hundred chapters

      If multiple chapters back to back have the same title, they'll have numbers (1) (2) behind them to indicate what chapter it is (chronologically), most of the time it is because the scene is too long and has to be split up into a bunch of chapters

    Hey guys, I am currently reading his other work the GoC and I notice that he put up a chapter where he spoil it all and called it a final chapter. Is it truly finished or nah? That's a bummer if it is

    So did the author completely stop writing PLOT or what? If yes, then I'll just leave it for now bc I was only here for Lilith, Ambrosia and Tiamat.

        Oh, what does switching to the Amazon mean in this case?

        It just means more work for him, since he also need to make them "book" ready... On webnovEl, he just needed to upload his chapter and that was it.

    I think the situation in this novel is really crazy, if it weren't for the s*x scenes at the beginning it would be much more popular. The author really cooked this story, and the universe is very vast and complex, with few loose ends. I think he should rewrite it, he doesn't even necessarily need to remove the +18, but just make it lighter and publish the chapters as bonuses.

      He did what you said and actually published it as an audiobook.

    BTW, any of you know??? the author's contracts with WN was terminated??? also time to drop this novel and seek another...Such a life of a Seeker🥲😮‍💨😒 Piece of advice to future readers...mc is NOT an anti hero, not even close...he falls into the catagory of hero without hero complex.
