Hiroshi Takeda had seen it all. A lifetime in the yakuza, navigating the shadows of the underworld, had hardened him. But after years of violence and deceit, he’d finally made up his mind: he was done. Retirement was supposed to be his reward—a quiet life far removed from the blood and betrayal. Fate, however, had a cruel sense of humor. On what was meant to be his final mission, one of his own underlings turned on him. The betrayal was swift, and the end even swifter. When Hiroshi opened his eyes, he wasn’t in the afterlife he’d expected. Instead, he stood before God—or something like it. The divine being offered him a deal: a peaceful second life, a chance to leave his past behind. But as Hiroshi soon discovered, even gods make mistakes. In a careless mix-up, his name was swapped with another soul’s, and instead of the serene existence he’d been promised, he woke up in a world of magic, monsters, and chaos. Retirement? Not quite. But Hiroshi wasn’t one to back down. “Strength is the only way to secure peace,” he muttered, his old yakuza instincts kicking in. If this new world wouldn’t give him the quiet life he craved, he’d carve it out himself. With the grit of a man who’d survived the underworld and the determination of someone who’d already died once, Hiroshi set out to grow stronger. Magic, cultivation, whatever it took—he’d master it all. After all, he hadn’t fought his way through one life just to lose in the next. __________________________________ Pretty much open to any criticism coming my way, so don't hasitate to reach out for any questions or complaints. update will be every night at 6:00 pm 7 chapters a week is the goal.
