After the collapse of the known world, I woke up to find myself on the First Floor of the Tower. I was young and healthy, 18 again, and sitting in the same classroom that marked the worst days of my life.

Of course, he can maintain a sense of decorum while he faces these trials, right?

Clarence, a man married into the Murphy family, was disliked by all his in-laws, his wife, and was facing the possible fate of divorce.

All because he was an orphan and was not highly educated.

But in truth, he was actually the young master of one of the wealthiest families in the world.

And one day, he gained a strange ability.
