Synopsis for I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic
What’s a man to do when his life suddenly changes while he innocently enjoys a cold drink after work? And I mean really changes.
This middle-aged commoner now finds himself in the body of Liam Hamilton, the young son of a noble house on the brink of collapse. Between his desperately desperate father and his utterly apathetic brothers, the only silver lining to his new situation is that Liam can finally pursue magic like he always wanted to. Little does he know that his favorite hobby may be about to turn his life upside down once again!
Will Liam be able to master the art of magic? And will it be enough to save him from the shadow that hangs over his family…?
