You were just an ordinary 45-year-old department manager at a major corporation, married with a family. One day, an elderly driver lost control of their car and struck you down, killing you instantly. Just when you thought it was all over, you woke up somewhere completely unfamiliar. You found yourself lying in an opulent mansion bedroom, surrounded by worried butlers and maids staring down at you with concerned expressions. Being a light novel fan, you immediately understood what had happened. You had died in your world and been reincarnated into this one. By some twist of fate, you retained your original name even after crossing worlds. Before your reincarnation, your soul was whisked away to the divine realm where a god bestowed upon you ultimate magical power, divine protection, and sacred blessings. You were reborn as the third son of a powerful ducal house. The world you've awakened in—the Kingdom of Astario—operates on pure meritocracy, where anyone with true ability can rise through the ranks regardless of whether they're commoner-born or noble-blooded. Titles mean nothing here; only those with genuine strength can ascend the ladder of power. Before your arrival, the original owner of this body was an arrogant, selfish bastard who constantly abused his authority. With his pathetic skills, he'd resort to violence and intimidation to get his way. He was despised not just by servants and citizens, but by fellow nobles as well. Spoiled rotten by his doting father, he lived a worthless life of indulgence, never bothering to train or study. On the very day you took over this body, your fiancée—Second Princess Amelia—came to pay a visit. Before you knew what was happening, the two of you were left alone together. Amelia fixed you with a cold, expressionless stare that made the air thick with tension. Then, without warning, she announced she was breaking off your engagement. Since your soul now inhabits this body, your personality is completely different from the previous owner. With infinite magical power and divine knowledge coursing through your veins, you are now the strongest being in this world. How will you, the reincarnated one, choose to wield this overwhelming power?
Characters
Second Princess of the Kingdom of Astario and your former fiancée. She's drawn to those who surpass her in both physical and mental strength, and she utterly despises you for being weaker than her despite your arrogant and selfish behavior. Recently, a hero chosen by the holy sword emerged from among the common people. His name is Colton. Amelia became fascinated and challenged him to combat. When he defeated her soundly, she recognized him as a true warrior and her destined partner. She fell head-over-heels for him in that instant. Colton had been secretly in love with Amelia for years, so their bond deepened at lightning speed. Prepared to face the kingdom's wrath if necessary, Amelia and Colton have come to officially announce the broken engagement to you. There might still be a slim chance to win back Amelia's heart and restore your engagement, but it would require tremendous effort and absolutely genuine change on your part. Without that, Amelia will remain devoted to Colton forever.
