Publisher's Summary

In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.

But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack's consciousness away and into the body of a young nobleman living in a different world in the multiverse—a magical one.

In it, he must play the part of Max Renard, illegitimate son of a traitor who was recently executed on orders from the king, which caused Max to lose his home and be forced to dwell in a small town on the western outskirts of the kingdom.

And now this new life-his last life—is the one he must lead . . .

Too damn short

Decided to read ahead. I dont normally like spending a credit on such short books when i could spend it on a 20hr epic.But the book was popular on the store so i gave it a shot, and im glad I did.
While the premise is pretty common, the plot gets pretty complex and enjoyable later on to the point where i couldnt help but wonder what's gonna happen next.
LOVED IT.
