One moment, a certain salaryman is on cloud nine, that promotion finally within his grasp, and the next, he's keeled over pain, and that was all she wrote. Luckily for him, fate had a bit more to say. A world of magic, monsters, and other such life-shortening entities await his newly reincarnated self for a second shot at life. With nothing but his past-life experiences and sharp business skills to guide him in the foreign lands of Galdardia, he takes up the name Luciel and vows that his (next) demise will be from naught but old age. And what better way to avoid a(nother) gruesome death, than by taking up a nice, cushy job as a healer? But getting by in another world doesn't come easy, or cheap. It'll take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to hone the skills he needs to make his way. But make it he will. . . or die (again) trying!

Luciel and his comrades have defeated Dongahar and his demonified men, and the Church of Saint Shurule is safe-for now. But there is no time to rest, as the fight is far from over. A letter written by the traitor himself tells Luciel all about the demonification experiments Blanche and Illumasia have been carrying out, and much to the masochist sage's dismay, he can no longer delay his journey to these nations.
To survive the trials ahead, he'll need new allies, starting with a certain magic artificer he's been meaning to recruit for some time. But the real dilemma lies in choosing where to go first: the dukedom of Blanche-Lumina, Nadia, and Lydia's home nation? Or the Illumasian Empire, which has been causing Luciel nothing but trouble from the start?
If it were up to him, Luciel would steer clear of both, but alas, the world won't save itself!
