Unable to repay the fortune he spent on medical school, Lionel finds himself on the verge of being sold off. Desperate for a way out, he applies to become the personal physician of the Duke of Blasion Carseido—a position boasting unbelievable benefits.
But during his interview, Lionel accidentally discovers the Duke’s greatest secret.
“You’ve discovered my secret.”
Blasion Carseido is an immortal who has lived for 700 years, unable to die—even when pierced by a blade.
“Well then, let’s take our time and discuss what to do with you.”
“Wait. If you’re immortal, you don’t need a doctor, do you? So move aside. Right now!”
With his centuries-old secret exposed, Blasion unleashes a deadly killing intent. Yet Lionel remains unfazed. Not only does he save the Duke’s critically injured aide, he even uses the opportunity to negotiate his own employment.
In exchange for his life, Lionel makes an outrageous demand: hire him as the Duke’s physician.
“I’ll give you one year. Find a way for me to die.”
But instead of simply treating his immortal patient, Lionel is given an unexpected mission—one far beyond anything he could have imagined as a doctor.
“If it’s come to this, then I’ll risk everything I have to give you the peaceful death you’ve been waiting 700 years for!”
