The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations

After spending forty years as the cynical, disposable pawn of a corrupt world power, the aging mercenary Cain ‘Scar’ Varen is assassinated during his final, failed mission. He awakens in the body of his 17-year-old self—the day before he was tricked into his first life-ruining contract. Now, equipped with decades of combat mastery, unmatched underworld connections, and a deep-seated desire for vengeance, Cain will use his future knowledge to dismantle the organizations that betrayed him, not by being a hero, but by becoming the world’s most powerful, calculating villain.
