16+ “The Path of Akira” Book 2, novel, 2023. I was a great warrior of the shadows and I died while carrying out a task for the Emperor’s family. But the Emperor’s spirit gave me a posthumous gift—new life. Only it turned out I was reborn in the body of a weakling and a total screw-up, who everyone considers a disgrace to the clan. Now I’m starting my journey from a clean slate, and I’ll prove that Akira Kaneko is a fighter, not a trash rag. My clan will respect me! I trained my body and spirit relentlessly, restored shadow-warrior techniques, and honed combat skills. Now a serious test awaits me in the field conditions. Time to show the enemies what Akira is made of—not just bread crust! If you break your teeth on me, I’ll break yours myself!
