Harry Potter: Rebirth in a Dark World

On his seventh birthday, an adult soul from a mundane world awakens in the malnourished body of Harry Potter, replacing a child who quietly starved to death in the cupboard under the stairs. Retaining no personal memories, he quickly realizes this is not the heroic tale he once watched on screens. This world is darker, its players far more ruthless, and no one is coming to save him. Granted a unique power, he begins a slow, methodical climb from prisoner to predator. Trust is a luxury he cannot afford; alliances are purely transactional; sentiment is a weakness to be exploited in others and eradicated in himself. This is not a story of destined heroes, loyal friends, or redemptive love. It is the chronicle of a calculating survivor who intends to master a brutal world on his own terms—no prophecies, no mentors, no mercy. ======================= Disclaimer: I do not assert any ownership over anything that is made by J.
