Another Path Taken [Rebirth, Regression, Isekai, System]
Auren wanted a quiet life. Maybe hunt a few Starfiends, nap under the sun, and leave the whole saving the world thing to someone else. He's done playing the hero. Unfortunately, fate and whatever cosmic force hates him seem to have other plans. Now he's stuck with three disasters in human form. Alwyn is a grumpy kid with a vengeance streak and a secret. He's a regressor reliving his life. Erika is a sharp-tongued opportunist obsessed with wealth, stuck with a mysterious system she can't seem to shake. Han is a cheerful airhead with suspiciously sharp combat skills, and as it turns out, he's also a transmigrator. And then there's Auren himself, a reincarnator saddled with all his memories and none of the peace he hoped for. Peaceful life? Not happening. Saving the world? Apparently back on the table. [A/N: No romance, only found family, friendship, and angst of course.] Updates weekly.
