Haruto Akechi was a jobless, broken 26-year-old with nothing left — not even hope. After a bitter fight with his parents, he ran into the night… and straight into the headlights of a speeding truck.
But death was only the beginning.
He awakens in a world of steam engines, noble bloodlines, and arcane secrets — bound and gagged in the cargo hold of a moving train. Mistaken for the missing heir of a powerful noble house, Haruto is thrown into the life of Leonhart Elgrave, a boy who should be fourteen… and very much alive.
There’s only one problem: the real Leonhart was a cruel, entitled monster.
As Haruto navigates the expectations of nobility, the schemes of rival houses, and the whispers of a hidden faction called the Hollow Crown, he must conceal the truth of who he really is — or risk being erased from this world a second time.
But fate doesn’t give second chances freely.
And the body he now inhabits may have enemies — and sins — that Haruto will be forced to answer for.

Hi! I hope you're doing well. I really enjoyed your story, and I wanted to share an idea. Many authors focus on writing but don't realize that visual content, like character art, book covers, or comic/webtoon adaptations, can help attract new readers and keep existing ones engaged. Just to clarify, I'm not asking for your story or any rights to it. I am a commission based artist and I simply help authors bring their worlds to life through visuals that they can use to promote and grow their work. If that's something you'd ever like to explore, I'd be happy to share my portfolio. No pressure at all! Regards, Em@il: contact.lilaclines@gm@il.com Istg: _lilac_lines_
