by GoldenStache

For whatever reason, my soul had gotten ripped out and shoved into the body of some “Villain” in a faraway land. Yep, you heard that right. A clichéd “Villain.” And I’ve got ten days before he’s publicly executed. This guy—well, I—used to be a Beggar. One that grew into a Seeker, then a Magi, then a Professor, and then... A Sultan. The one ruler of the entire world. Now? I’m stuck facing the people I used to love, ready to pay for all the “evil” I’ve done. Fate seemed hellbent on ending me, no matter where I went, but just as I was about to give up... A Script appeared before my mind’s eye.{Would you like to witness your real history, your Path?}{Would you like to make it past your Promised Day?}{Would you like to become a True King?}{If so, repeat after me…}It gave me one word—ancient, powerful, and clear. “BASSORĀH!” Many paths came together.—This is a story about suffering. Anger. And Forgiveness. Extra Tags: Drama, Reaction, Misunderstanding, Transmigration. Time Travel.

However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of Lot M, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too? …………………………………………………………… Dear readers!
