The Back-Alley Mage’s Return

Aster, a troublemaker from the Dekulan family of renowned mages, who started out as a wretched street orphan. He runs away in pursuit of freedom but is eventually caught and loses his life. However, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself returned to his days as a street orphan in the lawless black-and-white district...!

I decided to retire in search of freedom.

But then, what the hell is this?

“Nice to meet you. My name is Paheren von Dekulan.”

Goddammit… Isn’t it a bit much for the head of a noble house to personally come after one runaway hound? Huh?

“Return once more to the shadow of Dekulan.”

What? Return to the shadow? Wow, what a tempting offer… my ass!

After all the effort I put into deciding to retire, you think I’d become a dog again?

It’s an inevitable death, but I will face it head-on! Better to die a free wyvern than live as a pampered dog!

But then…

“…?”

I’m not dead?

“Heheh. I see, I see how it is.”

As the old saying goes, even a hundred years is too soon for a great sage’s revenge. I’ll show you the revenge of a true great sage!

The return of a back-alley mage who started out as a vagrant!
