I'm the One Who Died, but the Hero Went Crazy

Aryn, a devoted sorcerer, willingly sacrificed her life to protect her companions, falling victim to the lethal, poisonous breath of the malevolent dragon Kuntern. Eight decades later, she is granted a second chance at life. Through the combined divine intervention of the World Tree and the efforts of Zephyr, her former adventuring partner, Aryn is miraculously reborn into a world that has drastically changed during her long absence. Upon awakening, she discovers a devastating truth about her childhood best friend, Elkinas Pontiac. Once the noble leader of their expedition, El was shattered by her death and descended into madness. Now ruling as a ruthless tyrant, he has taken on an unthinkable burden: raising a child hatched from the very egg of the evil dragon Kuntern. Faced with the tragic ruin of the hero she once knew, Aryn must confront a harrowing dilemma. She gave her life to save her friends, but now she must find a way to save the one who lost himself in her absence.
