reincarnation of a broken boy

He lost everything in his first life. In his second, he might finally find something worth protecting. Ryan was never a good boy. Short-tempered, troublesome, and always ready to fight, he was the kind of person who answered insults with his fists rather than his words. But beneath his rough nature was a boy whose life had been shattered long before he understood what it meant to have a family. His father was an alcoholic who turned their home into a place of fear. Then came the day that changed everything: his father killed his mother and abandoned him. The only person who had truly cared for Ryan was gone. Before her death, his mother made him promise one thing. "Don't hurt girls." It was a simple request, but it became the last promise he ever made to her. After losing his parents, Ryan continued fighting, but he gradually stopped trying to explain himself to a world that had already judged him. He withdrew into his own little world of mobile games, wasting his days sleeping, eating, and staring at a screen. He had no grand ambitions. No dreams of becoming rich or famous. He simply wanted to be left alone. Until his first life came to an unexpected end. But death wasn't the end of his story. Ryan awoke to a second chance in a completely different world—a world of extraordinary powers, mysterious energies, necromancers, and secrets beyond his imagination. Reborn as Rayan Zu, he found himself surrounded by a family he had never known and a grandfather determined to help him become someone extraordinary. For the first time in a long while, he had a chance to experience something different. A family that cared. A companion who would stand beside him. And a future that wasn't already decided by his past. But this world has its own rules. At fifteen, Rayan will face the awakening of his Black Core, opening the door to powers he has only begun to understand. As his journey leads him toward the prestigious Royal Necromancer Academy, he discovers the extraordinary shadow techniques developed by his family. With Ran by his side, he begins exploring the mysteries of necromancy, encountering unusual students, hidden dangers, and a principal whose secrets may be far greater than they appear. Yet Rayan isn't interested in becoming a hero just for the sake of it. He wants to grow stronger, master his shadow arts, build a powerful undead army, and—most importantly—enjoy his new life. Of course, things rarely go according to plan when the legendary Witch of Death takes an interest in you. And as Rayan begins uncovering the mysteries surrounding his new world, he may discover that his second life has connections to things he saw before his first life ended. Can a boy who once gave up on the world find a reason to care about it again? Can someone who lost his family learn what it means to protect one? And what secrets await Rayan Zu in a world where death itself can become a source of power? His first life left him broken. His second may give him the strength to become something extraordinary. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: reincarnation of a broken boy — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
