Early Years

Volume 1 of The Beginning After The End

I never believed in the whole "light at the end of the tunnel" folly where people, after having a near-death experience, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, "I saw the light!"

King Grey once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability, but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic. Given a second chance at life, the once-king strives to understand his role in this new world and the purpose of his reincarnation while correcting the mistakes of his past.
