Chapter 1: Prologue - Four Options, One Choice

Chapter 1: Prologue - Four Options, One Choice

What would you do if you had fought for over seven years in a deadly war and it was finally over?

1. Enjoy your life as much as you can with all the money you earned over the years.

2. Reunite with your loved ones.

3. Live a peaceful life away from everything.

4. Find something to occupy yourself with.

If you chose the first option, let me ask you another question.

Does money buy happiness?

Hmm, well, I certainly don't think so.

When I transmigrated into this novel as the son of a well-off Duke, I enjoyed everything from banquets to the biggest beds—

I spent my entire life on the front lines of the war against the demons, fighting for my life and becoming one of the strongest people on the battlefield. No, such a huge change of pace wouldn't work.

Ugh, just imagining it gives me the creeps. No, just no.

That's why, when I thought of all those options, I chose option number four. I needed to occupy myself with something, and that's when the perfect opportunity showed up right in front of me.

"Caedrel, how old are ya?"

"Hm, just turned 22, sir."

"And what are you planning on doing now that the war is over?"

"Ah...I don't know. I'll do whatever I find interesting, I guess."

"What about becoming a professor for the Royal Academy?"

If I would have known what that offer really meant, I would have refused it. But oh well, it's too late now.
