"Reincarnation? Rebirth? Regression?" A hollow laugh slipped past my lips. "What bullshit."

Reincarnated on earth after his first death. 

Reborn again only to lose everything he died once again. Julian desired freedom, unable to resist the terror of the seven devils trying to dominate the world. 

Julian regressed a week before the special Full-World Virtual MMORPG game, Avalon's Fall, was released and changed the fate of humankind. Julian was given another chance to live. The new VR UNIT gave players a more realistic experience. 

Inside the game, the players could touch, taste and smell things like the real world. 

Although the creator remained a mystery, Julian knew its true purpose: to evolve, improve, and prepare humankind for war against an insidious foe. 

Seven Devils would soon descend on Earth, causing the game world and reality to merge, and the first devil would appear in less than a month after his regression.

'Humanity cannot last longer than a decade, more than 90% will die in a year.' 

Julian's heart pounded like a hammer—two failed lives under his belt. 

Now he would face the same Devil who stole everything he ever loved or cared about with a single swing of its gigantic sword.

But this time would be different...

Somehow, after being blessed by the goddess Solaria, he gained a unique class and evolutionary path that differed from what he knew. 

He somehow entered the game world, after the devils destroyed it. A realm of nightmare where death was almost certain!

[◊ Welcome to Avalon—After the Fall! ◊] 

[◊ Class Gained: Shadow Mancer (SSSR) ◊]

[◊ To the heir of shadows who returned to this fallen kingdom ◊]

[◊ Raise your fallen kin and take back your world! ◊]

'What?'

No longer the same class or type of evolved he became a mage-type, summoning the souls of the dead to create shadow minions. 

Despite his confusion, Julian focused on the future... he wouldn't let Sena die, or lose everything like the past and thus he set forth, aiming to kill the first Devil.

Little did he know that his title carried a significant meaning and one day, he would stand above those who ruined his past, and define their fates.

The Heir of Shadows

A shocking number of monsters died in that single explosion. However, the lingering aftershock and swaying ground made Julian a little reluctant to use it in an enclosed space again.


"Umbra can you sense any monsters close by?"


He watched the red eyes of Umbra shine through the mask, her lips transforming from a calm smile to a slight grimace, her face twisting as she bit her lower lip and started rushing in the opposite direction from Julian.


Suddenly, a gust of wind knocked Julian back against the wall.
