Following the death of the emperor, the Astanian Empire plunged into chaos. His two sons both aiming for the throne caused a civil war that divided the empire. 


In the midst of this conflict, Alaric was forced into conscription. He later joined the crown prince’s army as a company commander. 


He led his 100-man army into battle, fiercely fighting with the hope of a better future. Unfortunately, he was just too weak to cause a ripple on the battlefield. 


A single arrow to the head shattered his hopes and he died without even a proper burial. 


Just when he thought that everything was over, he found himself back to his younger self with his memories intact.


Armed with his knowledge of the future and a system that awakened his dormant powers, Alaric began his journey to overcome his fated demise.

Rin Aspen tapped his foot and lunged at the two ladies, brandishing his demonic sword. 


Bai Seol-hwa was the first one to react. She charged and swung her halberd to block his sword.


The powerful collision of their weapons sent sparks flying in all directions.


"Bai Seol-hwa, my former student. You have made me proud with your progress." Rin Aspen smiled at her. 


"Shut your mouth!" Bai Seol-hwa recalled the time when Rin Aspen was still not part of the heretic cult.


He was her teacher, her mentor, and he was also like a father to her. However, everything changed when he joined the heretic cult. He disappeared out of nowhere and never revealed himself again. 


Suddenly, Rin Aspen sensed a strong killing intent behind him. He kicked Bai Seol-hwa and turned around to block Kangjeon Geum-hwa's sneak attack.
