Chapter 1

Sapporo is a metropolitan city located in Hokkaido.

In January, Sapporo is filled with snow and wind, and sunshine is a rare commodity here.

Inside a somewhat dilapidated private clinic, a young girl, who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old and has a pale complexion, gazes blankly at a young man lying on the bed.

The young man's face is purplish-blue, covered in dirt, but this does not obscure his handsome features.

"What do you think? Have you made up your mind?" As the girl was lost in thought, the middle-aged doctor, who had been standing silently behind her, spoke up.

"If we do this... will he really recover?" The girl stared intently at the young man on the bed.

"It will definitely succeed!" The middle-aged man's words carried a force that compelled belief.

The girl fell silent. She finally gave the young man on the bed a tender look and nodded gently.

As if sensing something, the young man, who had been lying motionless, shed two clear tears!

"Brother, in the past, you always sacrificed for me... this time, let me sacrifice for you... but... farewell, my dear brother!" the girl murmured.

...............................

Three days later, in the same dilapidated clinic.

The young man, who had been unconscious, finally sat up.

But he was no longer the same person.

To be precise, his heart and soul had changed. His heart belonged to his sister, while his soul was that of a man named Rikakawa!

Yes, the very Rikakawa from the novel, the sinister and cunning head of the Sun family!

A shooting star, fleeting and extinguishing, leaving behind a trail of light, like those nameless assassins...

But Rikakawa was not a nameless person.

Dressed in plain clothes, with a pale and gentle face, he was elegant and kind in his manner. He was highly skilled but never carried weapons, held a prominent position but never liked being served. He enjoyed cooking, making a few dishes, and frying eggs and rice.

But these were just appearances.

He plotted to harm his adoptive father who raised him, raped and abused the people he loved, and made his wife a scapegoat, leading to her untimely death.

On the surface, he was gentle and refined, but in private, he was a bloodthirsty and cruel schemer, a rapist, and a sadist.

He had a future but no past, his past being as insignificant as a worm. Thus, he vented his dissatisfaction with the rulers through gaining power and abusing women. Under the impact of deep inferiority and high self-esteem, he was cruel and domineering to the point of being almost insane.

This man was Rikakawa!

A devil-like man!

But when he possessed the young man's body, he was surprised to find himself shedding tears...

Perhaps it was the influence of the original owner, or perhaps he truly felt something...

"I really envy you... fool." Rikakawa murmured.

Yes, he had his own emotions... or rather, he had once longed for someone to understand him.

He yearned for family, friendship, and even love!

Unfortunately, that was just a luxury!

But fate gave him another chance...

This time, he would regain everything he lost in his previous life...

In the first moment of his rebirth, he witnessed the scene of the girl's sacrifice.

At that moment, even the cold and ruthless Rikakawa could not help but shed tears.

"Thank you... from today, there is no longer a Rikakawa in the world... from now on, my name is Hikaru Rikakawa!"

"Are you ready?" At this moment, the middle-aged doctor walked in.

"Yes... where is my sister?" Hikaru Rikakawa looked calmly at the middle-aged doctor.

"I'm sorry... she..."

"I know... I want to know where she is..." Hikaru Rikakawa coldly interrupted the doctor.

"At Kudou Park."

Hikaru Rikakawa knew that Kudou Park was a very famous cemetery in the area, where either social celebrities, high-ranking government officials, or wealthy stars were buried. The middle-aged doctor had done his best to bury the girl there.

"Thank you!" Hikaru Rikakawa looked deeply at the middle-aged doctor.

................................

After leaving the clinic, Hikaru Rikakawa gazed at the somewhat gloomy city.

"What a wonderful world." Hikaru Rikakawa sighed.

.................................

Kudou Park.

Hikaru Rikakawa stared blankly at the tombstone of the young girl.

The girl's smile was captivating, with two adorable dimples that looked like pearls on a crown, making her seem like a fairy, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

"Fool, why are you so stupid? I'm not worth it... Rikakawa Yuki... you fool!" Hikaru Rikakawa growled.

At that moment, he could not control his emotions...

Even after two lifetimes, he still could not control his emotions.

For the first time, he felt heartache...

That tearing, lung-rending feeling!

For the first time, his always cold heart felt a hint of warmth...

Even he understood why the usually calm him had lost his composure.

"I won't let you down... sister..." After a long while, Hikaru Rikakawa's voice echoed in the cemetery.

..............................

After leaving the cemetery, Hikaru Rikakawa had to consider what to do next.

He had already learned from the unfortunate young man's memories that he was now a college student who had just obtained a broker's license.

It was January 2006, and not long ago, he had been severely injured in a dispute with a powerful local broker over a promising new star. This indirectly led to Rikakawa's rebirth and Yuki's death.

However, his first priority now was to understand this world and the profession of a broker.

After all, this world was very different from the one he had lived in before.

Fortunately, the Rikakawa from his previous life was a very adaptable person, with exceptional learning abilities and the information he had 'inherited' from Hikaru Rikakawa.

He quickly understood the basic requirements and unique aspects of the broker profession.

At the same time, he had already set his own goals for the future.

His goal was Akihabara, the holy land of otaku!

For some reason, he felt that he would find success there!

But before he left, he had a score to settle...

The man who had severely injured his previous self, Watanabe Jiro!

Although his rebirth was thanks to this man, he owed the Rikakawa siblings two lives.

He had no reason to let him off!

Besides, when had the head of the Sun family ever suffered a loss?
