The World When I am Not With You

Edward, the second son of the noble House Ribel, once gave everything for unrequited love. After nearly dying to protect a swordsman who would never love him back, he awakened in a bed of pain and memory—only to recall a different life. Not a past life, but a role. He was never meant to be the protagonist. In the original story, he was a minor character who died early to save the Hero—the one destined to save the world, yet left completely alone. Now, with the future he once read unfolding before his eyes, Edward chooses a different path. No longer chasing affection. No longer a side character. He will write his own legend—one forged through blood, spear, and sorcery.
