Volume 1

Once hailed as a Sage, he sought peace—not glory. At the end of a long life steeped in power and prestige, the man once celebrated as the Sage casts a reincarnation spell, yearning only for a quiet existence in a future age. But when he awakens in an era that dismisses magic as worthless, he’s branded a failure and abandoned in the Forest of Monsters… as a newborn. Left to die, he’s miraculously rescued by a kind-hearted goblin who raises him as her own. Given the name Beramus, the former Sage grows up in a hidden monster village, far from the human realm that cast him out. Determined to repay the goblin who saved him, Beramus channels the wisdom of his past life to help the village flourish—and soon, to rally every monster tribe under one banner. The mightiest kingdom will rise, not for humankind… but for those they fear.
