Death Mage is a story with a dark setting. Van (MC) experienced many tragic events in his lives. This would make the story centered on "REVENGE, but even though Van lived a very harsh life and pursue revenge, he still have the value of being a human. Van pursues revenge not only for his mother but also for his own happiness.This story is how Van do many things that can be either be judge as evil or good for the sake of the happiness of those around him which for his own happiness. This makes the novel different from those stories and MC that chose the path of revenge, as those stories only have a worth because on how the enemies met their demise. This one is a story on how Van and others live peacefully in a world where they are different and persecuted, and how they will fight for that goal.Personally I loved this story, as revenge stories with cruel protagonist are becoming more common. Though it sounds like naive, I like how the characters struggles in walking on their own path in a world that full of despair. Edit: People who feel dissapointed about how the MC didn't become a madmen and f**king kill all the people related to his target, then THIS NOVEL WILL NOT QUENCH YOUR THIRST FOR REVENGE. In Van's second life, when he became a monster, he didn't attacked unrelated people (experiment subjects). It means that he doesn't have an aggressive nature, which I think he got from his first life from ab*se. HE PRIORITIZE HIS HAPPINESS OVER HIS VENGEANCE. He's not like the people who think "people who ab*se me should be punish by me". When her mother was burned, he's not as s*upid as f**k to kill all the people there just because they discriminate her mother, he's not a kind of MC that thinks "I'm OP and have a cool death powers, let's provoke the adventurers in the town for killing my mama"
