Remanescence of Shadows

A loner who died of old age. No legacy, no family, not even a name worth remembering. Reborn as Castiel Lachius, he finds himself in a world of magic and monsters, something ripped straight from the stories he once consumed. But reality is far crueler than fiction. His new family stands at the heart of a political storm, their every action watched, their loyalty questioned. Treated as a pawn in a dangerous game, Castiel must navigate treachery, noble schemes, and the weight of a past he barely understands. Yet, the biggest battle lies within. Can he break free from the regrets of his former life, or is he doomed to repeat the same mistakes, wasting his second chance just as he did the first?
