Leonhart Aegis, a ruthless and merciless villain who is often referred to as the 'Demon Duke,' died...Unfortunately, he didn't die an epic death, not the way most villains died.

Leonhart hadn't begged for mercy, no... he just knelt on the ground as his life neared its end. Leonhart Aegis, after his death, expected to wake up in the afterlife with his grudge against Lucien Valtor, the person who killed him, but... What he never expected to happen was that he would wake up in the body of his 19-year old self, just a few years before the war started. Now in the body of his past self, armed with knowledge of how the future unfolds... Leonhart Aegis decides to retire from being a Villain and decides to enjoy his life. Word has spread that the infamous 'Demon Duke' decided to retire. Kings, Dukes, Viscounts, Marquesses, Heroes, Rebels, and Leonhart's own allies all think that he's plotting something, when all Leonhart wants to do now is... Read books, tend to the rose garden in his private villa at the far end of the Northern border, and live life to the fullest as a rich slacker, but it's as they all say
"Fate has a strange sense of humour".
