This is a regression novel where every time Arenheit is killed by the crown prince Yurik, he is sent back to the beginning when he first woke up Arenheit, right after Arenheit was given the title of Duke Hartmann and was on his way back to the duke’s mansion with Arndt and Leandros. The loop only restarts when the crown prince kills him. If he is killed by another force or person, his body is able to regenerate by consuming matter around him, whether that be fruits, vegetables, bread, animal meat, monster meat or human flesh.

kills people to regenerate his body, he blanks out/forgets that he does so to maintain “normalcy” and only is forced to face what he did when the crown prince tells him what he’s done in front of the east pit I think and Arenheit goes mad as a result.

his brother is dead.

The MC and his younger brother lost their parents at a young age and were sent to an orphanage after being tossed around by their relatives. MC worked hard for many years to support his brother and finally get accepted into a good university. After he got in though, the orphanage couldn’t let him stay there anymore but his brother wouldn’t be able to handle being alone, so MC took his brother with him to stay with him during uni. MC took loans to afford to go to school but after school he ended up in a black company I think or just a company where his job was far from ideal. It wasn’t really clear since this is based off of what his brother described MC’s job and happiness being like. Anyways seeing how MC ended up as, his brother decided he didn’t want to go to university and instead wanted to find a job to help MC out, which turned out to be trying to write a webnovel. MC didn’t approve of it but still he thought it’d be fine and his younger brother could apply for uni in a few years. His younger brother seemed really excited in the beginning. He’d buy writing books and read them over and over again, check out how other writers wrote and began writing his own lovecraftian medieval fantasy story. MC didn’t really keep an eye on him, and just let him do what he wanted, though he was skeptical that the novel would bring in any money. As more time passed, his brother’s novel remained low in the rankings with only double digits views and more often than not people would leave bad reviews complaining about the setting being inconsistent and too many new characters and plot threads being introduced. Slowly, the pressure kept building up on the younger brother but he still kept trying to write the novel until one day he came to MC.

I’m really sorry I just I can’t put into words I can’t really do it justice but this part devastated me. I. His younger brother came to him saying the novel wasn’t doing very well and that maybe he should just take the college entrance exams. MC didn’t seem to really know the weight his younger brother was carrying or how much the negative comments and lack of attention his novel received effected him, but MC agreed. He didn’t know how much the novel meant to his younger brother. He didn’t think it mattered if novel did badly because as long as they could live there would always be a way forward. So he said yes his younger brother should give up. In his younger brother’s eyes this was the person closest to him putting the final nail in the coffin and the next day he jumped in front of a moving vehicle and killed himself.

It’s bad enough MC lost the child he had raised and protected since their parents died. It’s bad enough that because MC didn’t have friends and didn’t have any experience with social media that he didn’t understand how vicious online harassment could be. But then later on after having died, been betrayed, died, lost the people he viewed as his brother’s precious creations, and died again, he finds his brother again. His soul maybe. We don’t even know his younger brother’s name. It’s blocked out as if someone had erased its existence. And he’s sitting on a mound of puppets, hundreds of Leonadros, duchesses, Arndts, characters from every iteration of the story the younger brother had tried to write to please a greater being. He’s gone mad, and can’t even recognize his older brother standing in front of him. MC realizing that his brother’s soul never found rest after he died but was instead suffering this whole time trying to find a perfect ending for his story... it’s a fate neither brother deserved after all the pain they went through.

I think. I. I don’t know how I feel but when Leondros. When he said he missed the old Arenheit, the Arenheit from before he would sacrifice his body and die over and over again to protect the people who were supposed to be protecting him. It hurt but I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just sad, and also I think the first time in the novel I saw anyone miss the original Arenheit. The body Arenheit is in was always meant to be a vessel for the transmigrated Arenheit. The memories of learning all the different subjects the Duchess forced og Arenheit to take were also just all the things that out Arenheit, the older brother to “god” was supposed to inherit. The OG Arenheit was childish, selfish and unable to live as an independent functional adult, but even then I guess... it felt sad I guess. But well Leondros I guess just meant he didn’t want to see Arenheit act like that. So selflessly that it’s monstrous, inhuman.
