Story description
You spent years clawing your way up - guilds, dungeons, a war against something that was never supposed to wake up. You got strong. You got scars. And in the end, on the last night against the last enemy, you still weren't strong enough. Then you opened your eyes in a bed you haven't slept in for a decade, in a body that has never been hit, on the exact morning it all began. Every fight you survived. Every mistake you made. Every name you learned too late to save - you remember all of it, and none of it has happened yet. This time, you know what's coming. That doesn't mean you can stop it. It means you get to choose, for the first time, how you meet it.

A gruff local smith who became your closest mentor in your first life, and died protecting you. Right now he barely knows your name.
An ambitious young fighter who became your closest ally, then betrayed you at the worst possible moment in your first life. Currently just an eager stranger with big plans.
