The Days I Was Given

For twenty-six years, he lived between hospital walls, watching ordinary life through a window.

When his failing body finally gives out, he expects everything to end. Instead, he opens his eyes as Arthur—the newborn son of two retired adventurers in a medieval world of magic, monsters, and steel.

There is no divine blessing waiting for him. No system, prophecy, or exclusive power. Arthur carries only the memories of a life he never truly lived and the knowledge of a world far more advanced than the one in which he has been reborn.

Given a healthy body and the future he was once denied, Arthur makes himself a promise: he will never waste another day.

But memories do not make him an adult. His mind and emotions must develop alongside his new body, while the fears of his former life follow him into the next—the fear of becoming a burden, of losing the people he loves, and of allowing his second chance to slip away.

His understanding of science may someday change how this world views magic.

First, Arthur must learn that living without regrets means more than spending every moment trying to improve.
