In a dense forest, hunters circle around each other, preparing for the raid on the dungeon. In another corner, a muscular man with white hair and a thick beard leans against a tree, silently watching the hunters with a sharp gaze. No one dares to look him in the eye. One of the hunters, hesitating, approaches him and says, "Sir, the wizards have finally arrived. We will raid in an hour." The man slowly raises his eyes and looks into the hunter's eyes, causing the hunter to freeze in fear. He speaks in a tone of reverence, "Good. I will rest for a while until these whores finish preparing."
"Yes, sir," the hunter replies, quickly fleeing in fear of the man. Once the hunter is gone, the man closes his eyes, drifting into memories of the past. We learn that his name is Komando Cuadrado, the heir of the fallen Cuadrado family. He recalls his father's face, and deep regret fills his features as he mutters, "I failed to meet your expectations, Father." He continues to remember each family member's face and the moment of their deaths before his eyes. His fists clench tightly, and intense anger rises within him for his inability to protect them back then. He swears revenge on the Fryer family and anyone who aided in the destruction of his family. However, after 10 years, he has only reached the rank of S-class. After his family's destruction, all their martial techniques vanished along with the palace in the flames. He feels immense rage and tightens his grip until blood begins to drip from his hands. After the fury subsides, he decides to sleep to calm himself.
Half an hour later, he feels the need to wake up and prepare for the dungeon raid. But when he opens his eyes, he finds himself lying on a bed in an opulent room. He quickly jumps off the bed, only to notice that his hand has become smaller, and his hair has returned to its black color. In stunned disbelief, he realizes he is in his room in the Cuadrado family's palace. Rushing to the mirror, he is shocked to see his 23-year-old self staring back. He assumes it's another nightmare, one of the many that have haunted him since his family's destruction. He closes his eyes and tries to wake up, but to no avail. In a fit of rage, he punches the mirror, shattering it, and feels a sharp pain in his hand from the broken glass.
Suddenly, a person dressed in a black robe enters quickly and sees Komando's bleeding hand. The figure gasps in shock and runs toward him, calling out, "Young master!" Komando is still in shock, having realized that he is not dreaming. "Young master," the servant calls anxiously until Komando finally notices him. Komando remembers the man—Freed, one of the people who died in the war. For the first time in 35 years, Komando allows tears to fall as he looks at Freed. "I have truly returned," he says softly.
"Young master!" Freed exclaims, quickly taking Komando's bleeding hand. A green light suddenly emanates from Freed's hand, and Komando feels the pain from his wound vanish as it heals.
Freed looks at him with concern and asks, "Young master, what happened here?" He remembers that the previous day, Komando had insulted the swordsmanship instructor, and assumes that Komando is now afraid of the head of the family. The Cuadrado family had always known of Komando's timidity.
Freed tries to reassure him, saying, "Don't worry, young master. The head of the family won't punish you for insulting the instructor." Komando recalls that he had indeed insulted the swordsmanship teacher for failing to surpass his peers, blaming the instructor for his own shortcomings.
Komando quickly wipes away his tears and tells Freed, "Don't worry, Freed. I was just training and broke the mirror by accident." Freed studies him quietly and thinks to himself, It's impossible for the young master to be training; he must have been angry when he broke the mirror. But Freed doesn't want to dwell on the matter too much, as it could lead to trouble, so he returns to reality and says, "Alright, young master, but be careful next time." Komando nods in response, and Freed quickly leaves, ordering some servants to replace the mirror in Komando's room.
Komando watches Freed leave, sighing deeply, and throws himself back onto the bed, trying to process everything. After much thought, he comes to the conclusion that he has truly traveled back in time.
A small smile forms on Komando's lips as his eyes gleam with determination. He remembers the Fryer family and the day of his family's destruction. He decides to make the most of this opportunity and protect his family from the enemies lurking around them.
