Synopsis

A betrayed magical servant is reincarnated and seeks independence, refusing to serve others again while holding future secrets.

Once a loyal hound to a powerful magic family, Aster was used, betrayed, and killed. But death wasn't the end—it was a second chance. Back in the back alleys of his youth, Aster now holds the future's secrets in his hands. This time, he won't serve anyone. Can a man who once served power learn to become his own master?
