Cornelius, a once-notorious villain reborn and enlightened, grew weary of his former life's schemes. In his new existence, he abandoned his wicked plans and retreated into seclusion to enhance his mana, eventually discovering the path to righteousness...or so he thought. After years of isolation, his peace was shattered by former enemies accusing him of murdering someone from Basilisk-one of the Dragon Continent's esteemed elders. Unaware of the crime during his seclusion, he could only conclude that he had been framed. Despite his efforts to change, there are those determined to cause him trouble and bring him down. Even in his second life, he can never savor what it means to be at peace.
