Youngest Son of the Renowned Magic Clan

As the author of the hit fantasy novel "Swordmaster Sade," Cha Sungmin was proud of his work—until he unexpectedly wakes up inside his own story as Rasen Mayton, the youngest son of the continent's most prestigious magic clan. The problem? Rasen is a despised, arrogant scumbag with zero talent who is fated to die a gruesome death at age seventeen. To make matters worse, Sungmin has been transmigrated into a prequel timeline before the official novel events even started, leaving his author's knowledge with countless blind spots. Surrounded by lethal political schemers, ruthless siblings, and looming doom, Rasen must utilize every ounce of magic theory and world lore he created to rewrite his destiny and conquer the magical world.
