For a man who died without purpose, a second chance at life is a miracle. But for Shen, reborn into a brutal fantasy world, it might be a curse. His new life is haunted by a cryptic voice from the beyond, whispering that hell is waiting and forcing him to question the true price of his second chance.
To protect a desperate outcast and her unborn child, Shen must become a military commander, thrusting himself into a world of monstrous creatures and political warfare. As he battles to carve out a place for himself and those he vows to protect, he discovers that the greatest threat isn't the enemy on the battlefield. It’s the devastating truth hidden behind the smiles of his allies.
In a world built on lies, Shen must fight the darkness that pursues him from the grave to uncover a conspiracy that could shatter his reality and cost him more than just his life—it could cost him his soul.

Although this version has a nice ending of its own, our characters' journey may continue in the future.
