The Cub

The high mage once treated dying as a minor inconvenience to his schemes, but after his seventh rebirth his outlook changed. Each new life had been a setback, and when his ambitions collided with those of people far above him, retribution followed quickly. A further death offered him a small comfort, because it sent him to another world, where he woke in a stranger's body.

He kept only the memories he had gathered since his previous rebirth, and everything he had learned before was gone. He now faces a choice between building a place for himself in this unfamiliar life and surrendering to despair. Leg Ondo will not yield. He belongs to the Brown Bear clan, which tolerates no cowardice, and when a fight is necessary, it is fought to the death.

His first priority is to explore and understand this world, especially the local form of magic. As the youngest of the Bears, he is determined to prove that he deserves his place among them.
