The Other Side of Reincarnation

Haruto Kobayashi never got to keep his first real friend. Betrayed and murdered by someone he trusted over money he never got to spend, he wakes up in a new world — not as a chosen hero, but as a newborn: half-dragon, half-archdemon, raised in isolation by parents who never should have been allowed to have him.

Peace doesn't last. When two of the strongest beings alive descend from the sky to erase him for the crime of his own bloodline, Kai loses a family for the second time in his short life — and this time, there's no one left to protect him.

Alone in a world built on dragons, demons, and gods who were once mortal themselves, Kai sets out to survive it — gathering allies, rivals, and eventually a family of his own bearing a name that was never supposed to exist in this world: Kobayashi. Strength doesn't come quickly. Revenge doesn't come easily. But the two who took everything from him are still out there.

And one day, they'll learn exactly what they left behind.
