He was born to save the world. He was never taught how to live in it.
Kim Taehyung died at eighteen, killing a demon that would have swallowed the realm. He never knew a mother's love. He never felt a lover's touch. He watched from the shadows as others held each other, kissed each other, chose each other.
Now, centuries later, he serves as a Luminary in the Silent Halls-tending to the living world from the other side, mission after mission, century after century. He is tired. He is ready to ascend.
But the Shaper, a reckless deity, has made a mistake. A naive boy with Taehyung's face and name has died with a soul trapped by unintended harm. Now both souls are stuck-the new one cannot move on, and the real Taehyung cannot ascend.
The only solution: Taehyung must return to the modern world. He must inhabit the boy's identity. He must find the person who was hurt and make them happy again.
He does not want to go. He is exhausted. He has given everything.
But somewhere in a world that no longer believes in heroes, a man named Jeon Jungkook is waiting-and he may be the first person to ever see Taehyung not as a weapon, but as someone worth holding.
