In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.

But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack's consciousness away and into the body of a young nobleman living in a different world in the multiverse—a magical one.

In it, he must play the part of Max Renard, illegitimate son of a traitor who was recently executed on orders from the king, which caused Max to lose his home and be forced to dwell in a small town on the western outskirts of the kingdom.

And now this new life-his last life—is the one he must lead . . .

when I bought this book I wasn't expecting it to be so interesting. It doesn't shy away from the the darker side of humanity while not focusing on it. It strikes balance between progressing the story and flushing out the world as a whole. The real issue's I personally only had with the that's it was slow to start and I really wanted it to be longer it was relatively short read.

Better than expected

pretty good book. The only problem I have with it is its to short and a bit slow. The MC is OP and is not a dumb ass. Reminds me alot of Legend of the arch magus.

It's good!

I really wasn’t sure if I would like this book when I was picked it up I started reading it and then set it aside. Then the audiobook came out and I picked it up. Planning to finish the book but never got around to it until now and it turned out to be an excellent book so much so I’m diving into the next book in the series.

Surprisingly good

I couldn't stop listening, from start to finish the story had my attention and i really liked the translation there's usually a level of disconnect but not here or at least i didn't notice. I can't wait for the next one!

Awesome

The story takes time to get going, but it's worth it. The story is a traditional heroes journey, but very well done and very entertaining.

great listen!

I read this on kindle before, but still worth the credit, the author just needs to get them out quicker or make it longer

Enjoyable, but too quick!

The Narration was great and the story flowed smoothly. I really enjoyed how the MC uses both his his brain, magical power, and skills to adapt quickly to his re-incarnated new body's situation. I wish all 3 books in the series would release soon in audible already.

Great upcoming LitRPG author
