The Reincarnated Mastermind: Sundering Fate with Magic Swords

Ren thought his reward for being the first to clear the sequel to The Legend of the Seven Heroes would be personal satisfaction. So when he’s rewarded with “special content,” he quickly accepts...only to wake up as a baby in the game’s world. At first hoping he’s been reborn as the hero, Ren instead discovers his new life is that of the story’s shadowy antagonist, the figure suspected to be the mastermind behind the entire trilogy. Good thing Ren is fully intent on living a peaceful life in the countryside—without getting involved with any characters or world-ending plots. But when he crosses paths with the very saint he is meant to kill in canon, Ren realizes fate may be the ultimate final boss.

After overcoming Viscount Gieven’s schemes, Ren is offered a place to stay in Baron Clausell’s estate in the city for a while. Accepting this, Ren spends fulfilling days with Licia while also doing work for the baron and showing off his skills as an adventurer at the guild. One day, he is sent out on a mission to a certain location where he meets a girl he’d never expected to and finds himself caught up in another crisis. It is for these exact moments that he wields his sword!

Several months have passed since the deadly battle against the undead red dragon Asval. Despite wanting no part to play on the stage of the game’s story, Ren finds himself going to the imperial capital with Licia where he has a fateful reunion with Fiona Ignart, the girl he saved in the Baldr Mountains. Other encounters also await him, from people whose names are well known across all of Leomer to the main cast of the very tale that he so wants to avoid!
