I Guard The Book That Slays Gods

Jack Grim, heir to a legacy of legendary assassins, was trained from birth in the brutal art of spilling blood, his life defined by coldness and discipline. At seventeen, his final apprenticeship task was presented: succeed, and he would command his own assassin organization, finally achieving his lifelong ambition. Jack accomplished the mission, striking his target at midnight and earning the promised rewards. However, victory brought a swift and unexpected consequence: a debilitating headache, a burning fever, and then, transmigration. Jack awoke in the body of Raiden, the guardian of the Book of Ashes, a tome embodying the Devourer. Raiden had died protecting this very book. Jack, a professional assassin at heart, yearned only for his old life, not this new world or its magic. Yet, destiny intervened. The world's balance now depended on his protection of the Book of Ashes, a responsibility he could no longer evade.
