Inherited magic. Inherited enemies.    Noah lived a life full of regret. Death came to soon but what he didn’t expect was a millennia long wait in the afterlife.     Reborn in the stolen body of a dying magic academy professor with a ruined name, Noah discovers the real prize: every time he dies, he comes back.     Lives are currency, and he is filthy rich. Armed with a lifetime of runic mastery and the bitter knowledge of the disasters still to come, he sets out to rewrite everything—his reputation, his power, and the fate of the students who will one day need him most.     But the world does not yield easily. Rival mages, buried conspiracies, and monsters older than nations rise to meet him. Every breakthrough in rune-craft draws hungrier eyes. Every death costs a piece of his soul.     This time, Noah refuses to return to the afterlife empty-handed. This time, he intends to become strong enough that death itself will have to wait.
