Soaring Through the Nine Heavens

What?! He died an unjust death for no reason other than a tiny glitch in the Underworld's modernization reforms? What?! They want him to return to the ancient past in someone else's body, to an era with no television, no computers, and none of the modern tools he knows? Fine, fine! King Yama, you don't need to scowl, and Judge, you can stop threatening and tempting me. There's nothing left in this era worth holding on to anyway. Returning to the past might be a fresh start. Love, career, everything I once wanted but couldn't have: I can pursue it all again. Let me truly soar to the heavens in this brand-new era! A note to readers returning to the story: The earlier chapters have been combined and revised as follows: the historical setting is now a parallel timeline, and the protagonist is two years younger. If you still remember what happened before, you can pick up from after “The Night of the Lantern Festival.”
