Reborn: The Lion Has Returned.
"As my last wish, kill me Carl,"the king said with breathless voice.
".....You really are an idiot, brother."
--------------------------------
At twenty-eight, Carlos returned from the war bearing scars no crown could heal. He had fought, bled, and stood against his own brother-the beloved king-whose soul had been twisted by divine control. When Carlos finally won, just as he raised his blade to end it all, a stranger struck him down first.
He never expected to open his eyes again.
But he does-fifteen years old once more, with the weight of his memories and a god whispering in his mind. He's been sent back, not to win a war, but to prevent it. To stop his brother from becoming a puppet. To unravel the path that led to destruction. And maybe this time... to protect the bond they once had.
But the palace is full of masks. Power is a poison. And the closer Carlos gets to changing fate, the more fragmented his memories become-flashes of lives and deaths he doesn't fully understand.
The god who brought him back says this is redemption.
But is he a savior... or something else entirely?
Can Carlos protect his brother, rewrite destiny, and hold on to the fragile peace he never had?
Or is the past more unbreakable than time itself?
