Nicholas Draegan always wanted to be a hero—until he realized what it would cost him. After making the ultimate sacrifice, he lost everything: his family, his friends, his fortune, his life, and, most importantly, he forgot to delete his search history.
And yet that wasn’t the end.
Reincarnated as a new god in a world of magic and monsters, Nick is expected to make the same choices. But to a man who already lost everything once before, will he really walk the same path again?

“Where there is life, there is death. When not all is right in the world, there is only ‘execution.’”
