A strict teacher who spent his life enforcing rigid discipline and measuring students by obedience dies at the hands of a former pupil he failed to understand—only to awaken in a new world as a young mage named Alaric Mordane, now expected to teach magic he doesn’t know. Haunted by the guilt of his past and visions of his cold, silent classroom, he resolves to break the cycle of lifeless lessons and distant stares. With no knowledge of runes or spells, Alaric must learn what it truly means to teach—not by demanding answers, but by inspiring curiosity and forging real connections—before his second chance slips away like the first.
