About The Book

The print debut of TurtleMe’s 75-million-view fantasy novel phenomenon, the series behind the Crunchyroll anime and one of the most successful English-language isekai stories ever written, now in a definitive premium print edition from Rocketship Entertainment.

The Beginning After the End follows the story of King Grey who once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability, but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic. Given a second chance at life, the once-king strives to understand his role in this new world and the purpose of his reincarnation while correcting the mistakes of his past.

About The Author

Brandon Lee, known as TurtleMe, is a South Korean-American author who began writing The Beginning After the End while searching for an escape from his corporate finance career. He first published the novel on RoyalRoad before moving to Tapas, where the series quickly rose to the top of the platform. The TBATE webcomic now has over 75.5 million views and generates more than $500,000 per month. In another landmark milestone, The Beginning After the End became the first English-language web novel to receive a major anime adaptation — produced by Studio A-Cat and launched on Crunchyroll in April 2025. He has been writing the series since January 2017 and is currently publishing Volumes 11 and 12.
