#0. Prologue

— — —

…Today the Empire fell.

…No, perhaps yesterday.

…I don’t know.

In the center of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

“Featherback, you go back.”

The Hero said.

Half his body had been blown away by the Demon King’s attack.

Following him, the Mage spoke.

“You’re the only suitable candidate. Regression is only possible for one person.”

The Mage’s body was being consumed by pitch-black hellfire.

Following her, the Saint spoke.

“There was a time when we thought our party didn’t need a Warrior. It’s regrettable—if that hadn’t been the case, we would have recruited you much sooner.”

The Saint’s body was slowly turning to stone.

“….”

Warrior Featherback.

He reflected on the journey thus far.

The massive dimensional gate that had turned the northern sky of the continent into a sea of fire.

The Demon King who appeared, showering the entire Empire with lava rain.

Humanity was powerless before the army of monsters it led.

The Holy Sword drawn by the chosen Hero, the magic circles drawn by the Great Mage, the prayers of the Saint who inherited celestial blood—all were nothing but futile death cries.

But.

But humanity still had hope.

Featherback.

The Warrior who joined the Hero Party last.

When he, whose awakening was the latest, finally joined, they were able to turn the tide of the losing war.

The Hero Party, now complete with a Warrior, began pushing the Demon King’s army beyond the Northern Mountain Range.

…But that was only temporary.

The Demon King sent even more forces to pressure humanity.

No matter how powerful the Hero Party was, they couldn’t defeat all the endlessly surging monsters.

Finally, when all humans had been exterminated, the last comrades chose their final option.

The Hero, Mage, and Saint spoke.

“We’ll turn back time with the power of the Holy Sword. This will only work once, for only one person.”

“Even though your awakening was the latest among us, we can rest assured knowing you made it this far.”

“We won’t exist in the world you return to. It’s the backlash for interfering with Divine Authority. But we believe you can handle it well on your own.”

From the beginning, they had designated the Warrior as the target for regression.

The youngest, whose awakening was the latest, but who showed tremendous growth—Warrior Featherback.

Because he willingly took on the role of vanguard, the Hero Party was able to push the Demon King’s Army beyond the Northern Region.

Finally.

Fwaaash―

The Power of Regression within the Holy Sword activated.

Even as the Party Members were dying, they were pouring their last remaining life force into the Holy Sword.

“…When you regress, you know? Don’t act so frustratingly like before.”

“…Take everything, sweep it all away. You monopolize it all.”

“…Remember how you studied history with Older Sister every night on our way here? Never forget it.”

The Hero, Mage, and Saint forced painful smiles.

Looking at his Comrades whose very existence would soon be extinguished.

“….”

Warrior Featherback shed tears of blood.

And then.

…Flash!

His vision was engulfed in light.
