Adventure

A man who has endured a lifetime of pain, betrayal, and loss meets a cruel end on the same night he watches his parents die. Abandoned by fate, tormented by the past, and denied even the solace of death, his soul drifts into the void—where he encounters a goddess who claims to have watched over him all along.
    Anger, hatred, and sorrow consume him as he confronts her, pouring out the suffering he was forced to endure—friends lost, family torn apart, love turned to poison, and a life never truly his own. But instead of denying his pain, the goddess offered the one thing he never expected: a new life.
    Reincarnated into a new world, he is given the chance to start over. Yet, the scars of his past life have not faded. The betrayals, the loneliness, the crushing weight of despair—they still haunt him, shaping how he sees the world, how he trusts others, and how he searches for meaning in his new existence.
    Will he find the happiness that was stolen from him? Or will the chains of his past drag him into another life of suffering, betrayal, and despair? In a world where fate is uncertain and cruelty is inevitable, he must decide—is happiness something he can truly grasp, or just another illusion waiting to be shattered?
