Reborn as a “revenger,” a former surgeon must confront deadly labyrinths and impossible choices as his quest for justice takes a darker, more personal turn.

The former doctor‑turned‑assassin Chisato Ogino continues his grim work in the mysterious otherworld of Abblent. When a petrified adventurer’s body is brought to him, Chisato and his ally Niene delve into an underground labyrinth to exact revenge on the culprit – only to have Niene gravely wounded in a brutal monster attack. Faced with the collapse of yet another life, Chisato must decide whether his lethal talent as a revenger can save what remains or if he will be forced to make a heartbreaking choice.

As dangers mount, Chisato’s internal conflict deepens between the healer he once was and the killer he has become. This second volume of the dark fantasy suspense series pushes him into deadly territory where every decision could mean salvation or slaughter.
