In one past life, he was revered as a legendary sword saint, and in another, he achieved greatness as a wise sage. However, the constant pressure and endless battles left him exhausted and disillusioned with the role of a hero. After his death, he awakens to a new life as a prince, blessed with extraordinary magical abilities and the unmatched swordsmanship of his previous incarnation. Despite these gifts, Noah is determined to avoid the burdens of responsibility and fame that plagued his past lives. To escape the expectations placed upon him, he decides to feign incompetence, hoping to live a quiet, uneventful life free from the demands of heroism.
