Twice-Reborn Transmigrator
hearthshope
S-Rank hunter Brandon Norwood is no stranger to transmigration and traveling between realms. He experienced it himself, having died once before and ending up on Earth. However, even he is surprised when he wakes up and sees his mother — his mother from his previous life. Brandon realizes that he returned to his home realm of Lumina, a land of magic and monsters. After taking up his previous identity as Gabriel Sturm once more, he must navigate a world both strange and familiar to him in unexpected ways, dealing with the problems that plagued him in his first life, including the one that led to his death. However, Gabriel soon discovers that a greater threat looms on the horizon, one that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. New chapters released Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
