Piccoma's New SMARTOON® Adaptation: A Gripping Tale of Revenge

The literary world is buzzing with excitement as Piccoma announces the adaptation of one of its most popular novels into the promising SMARTOON® format. The story, titled "I Was Betrayed and Killed, Only to Revert to My 10-Year-Old Self and Help My Arch-Enemy’s Brother," centers around a man who finds himself back in his childhood after a tragic betrayal. Now armed with knowledge from his first life, he is determined to change the fate of his family and seek revenge against those who wronged him.

A Tale of Betrayal and Rebirth

In a dystopian universe where monstrous threats loom, humanity battles for survival through supernatural abilities gained via 'job changes.' However, this leads to a harsh societal divide: those wielding magic are termed ‘Rulers’ while those who rely on physical might are dismissed as ‘Commoners,’ leading to a deeply entrenched hierarchy of power.

The compelling narrative is penned by the talented Rokourin, making waves since its victory in the second Piccoma Novel Awards. The story dives deep into the psyche of Narumi Toraya, who has served the third son of the founding family, Kuruhane Ryuzaburo, with unwavering loyalty. However, the fabric of loyalty is torn apart when Toraya unravels the truth—it is Ryuzaburo who has orchestrated the tragedies that struck his family. Just as he pieces together this horrifying truth, Toraya meets his untimely demise.

To his astonishment, Toraya awakens to find himself transported back to two decades earlier, confronting his ten-year-old self. With this miraculous second chance at life and the foresight of future catastrophes, he resolves to take action. His mission is clear: protect his beloved family at all costs and inch closer to avenging the wrongdoing he endured.

The Journey Begins

"I refuse to end up as the victim again—I will reclaim everything!" This burning desire to rewrite his destiny sets the stage for a phenomenal fantasy revenge drama.
