Duke Bearish

Sixty-five years of experience in the body of an eighteen-year-old duke.

I founded the Institute of Magitech. I taught mages, invented artifacts, and grew old beside the woman I loved. We died together, too.

Instead of eternal rest, a creditor was waiting for me. An ancient entity came to collect a debt owed by my family and gave me an advance: a new body in a new world.

Eighteen years old. A ducal title. And ruins for an inheritance.

My entire family has been slaughtered, my magic is blocked, and someone is hunting me.

But after a long lifetime of solving problems, I’m used to dealing with them. I have a nanomagic chip of my own design, my family’s bear familiar, and decades of experience that didn’t disolve with my previous life. Somewhere in this world, my wife is living her second life too.

I’ll find her.

And those who wiped out House Bearish will deeply regret it.
