Summary

They said only the wealthy and powerful could become Adventurers. They said those same Adventurers would never betray humanity. They lied.

Dean was there when the last Kingdom fell. A common soldier with no real talent or power, he watched as the army was overrun. One by one, the kingdom's most famous and powerful adventurers were broken and killed.

All except one.

From where he lay dying on the battlefield, Dean saw the Spear Saint betray mankind… dooming them all.

On the cusp of death, he is offered a choice. A chance to go back in time and choose a different path—one that could grant him the power to change his fate entirely.

But nothing is as simple as it seems. Behind the scenes a silent war rages between powers unseen. Soon, their agents will hunt him, drawing him into a conflict that spans not continents, but entire worlds.

tried listening multiple times and its so hard to just get into the flow with all the sub plots and back stabbing. everyone has an agenda, so its hard to latch onto the "good guys" and follow their story.

edit : after finishing

the story does pick up a lot after the first arc, but it still has plenty of sub plots going on. Hoping that the next book will be more straightforward now all the players have been introduced

too many adversaries, but gets better
