「How did it come to this?」

Claim Bradley, the heir to a marquis family, had been riding high on life since birth thanks to his excellent lineage, noble background, and innate talent. He ultimately met his demise, murdered.

From an outsider's perspective, it was a just retribution; he had committed every conceivable atrocity, deserving of death. Yet, he couldn't grasp why he had to be killed. On the brink of death, he finally found the answer. It was a simple truth... he had been deceived by someone he trusted and considered a friend.

And so, without anyone to help him, his life came to an end. As his consciousness faded, Claim thought, "If I could wish for anything, I want to live this next life peacefully," and "I will never get carried away again, but lead a humble, modest, and calm life of self-restraint."

Claim had believed that when he next awoke, a new life would begin. However, upon waking, he found himself back in his boyhood, ten years in the past.

At first, he couldn't quite grasp what had happened, and even despaired at the thought of repeating the same future. Yet, at the same time, it wasn't entirely bad news for Claim. He set a new goal: "I won't make the same mistakes. This time, I'll cast everything aside and live a peaceful slow life!" and resolved to restart his life.

However, fate would not allow it.

Hardships and trials unimaginable in his first life continuously befall Claim, who has reformed into a decent person. Will Claim truly be able to live a leisurely and peaceful slow life?
