Lilian laid on his deathbed, his life nearing its end. 

Surrounded by the cold quiet of a hospital room, he had spent his last months immersed in novels on his phone.

One novel, in particular, had captured his heart, and he yearned to finish it before succumbing to his incurable disease. 

But as the end drew near, he realized he couldn't access the final volume. 

Helplessly, he regretted the opportunities he had missed in life.

And death had finally come knocking.

"If only there were another world... that could offer me a second chance," He whispered. 

"If only I could live a second life... in a time when I had listened."

When I got back to the inn near the Leaky Tavern, I immediately sent a message to Ophelia through the magical communication projector. 


The device flickered to life, displaying bright letters:


[Julian: Alive. Recovered all shipments.]


[Ophelia: 👍 Good job! Please listen next time!]


I sighed at her casual dismissal. So typical. 


At least I was alive, and it was my fault after all. I didn't really have the right to argue back this time.


Just as I thought she'd forgotten about me, another message popped up.


[Ophelia: You're relieved of all your missions this coming month. Return to the main house ASAP.]


A rush of surprise caught me off guard. Relieved of all my missions?


I quickly typed back an [Ok.] then collapsed onto the bed, exhaustion finally taking hold.


The next morning found me at the Leaky Tavern, ordering a chicken risotto at the bar.
