Summary
Corruption. Greed. War. For Lev, these were not abstract concepts but the harsh realities of the world he was born into. From childhood, he saw firsthand how humanity had willingly chained itself to a predatory system—one that fed the powerful, drained the weak, and turned ordinary people into obedient puppets for corrupt leaders. While most accepted their fate, Lev fought. Every step of his life was a war against the machine that fed on human despair.
He became a thorn in the side of the ruling class—too dangerous, too perceptive, too unyielding. And eventually, they erased him.
Or so they thought.
When Lev opens his eyes after death, he awakens not in the afterlife… but in an entirely new world. A world shaped by different rulers, different cultures, and different laws—but the evils lurking beneath the surface feel disturbingly familiar. Exploitation, oppression, and manipulation thrive here just as they did in his old life. Once again, humanity suffers under systems built by the powerful and enforced by fear.
But this time, Lev is no naive idealist stepping blindly into the battlefield.
He carries with him the memories, skills, and hard-earned wisdom of a lifetime spent fighting injustice. Every scar, every betrayal, every triumph—nothing has been forgotten. And in this world, where corruption coils within the highest towers and festers beneath the quiet streets, Lev finds himself uniquely equipped to combat it.
No longer confined by the weaknesses of his previous life, he rises with renewed purpose. Those who underestimate him see only a stranger in an unfamiliar land—but Lev sees through their lies with the eyes of someone who has endured an entire lifetime under tyranny. The same patterns repeat, the same monsters wear new faces, and the same systems crush the same innocent lives.
But he has changed.
Armed with insight, strategy, and a relentless will forged in the fires of his previous life, Lev chooses to walk a similar road—yet with a completely different outcome in mind. This world may mirror the corruption he escaped, but he refuses to let history repeat itself.
This time, he will not simply resist the system.
He will break it.
