Re(Start): Life but I’m the hoodie guy this time

Zophiel, a Half-elf, discovered from the moment of his reincarnation that the new world around him was so much more than what he expected it to be. When a series of unfortunate events bring him to a breaking point, he is forced to discover that he is more than what he is, or at least, what most of the world believed him to be. Shunned by most of high society, and driven by the loss of everything he once had, he struck a deal with the devil to make him more than what he was. And as he slowly starts to believe in himself, and picks up the pieces of his past life, he comes to terms with his ghosts, enslaves a whole bunch of souls to be put to use as his shadows, and comes to the conclusion that murder is nothing personal. Oh, hey there, thanks for reading this far. But why, you might ask. Why read this? A wise-cracking Paladin who happens to be obsessed with horses? Sort-of check. A multitude of girls he likes, but none of them like him back? Check. Frequent conversations with himself? Check. Alchemy, battle scenes, unethical social experiments, and slow descent into madness? Check. Obsessive world-building? Scientific explanations for Magic? A multitude of pop-culture references? Check, check, and check. Now, it may be rude for us to ask you this, but we want you to think: What happens when the villain kills the heroes? **************************************************************** This is a work of fiction.
