Silver Town high school, Silver City, Neon Province, 2040 :
In the classroom 3-A, the students are chattering with one another. Suddenly a boy in his late teens jolted awakened and looked around in confusion before muttering," I came back ", he clenched his fists and frowned," where is my mana? ", he looked around and noticed the date on his phone.
12-03-2040, the day before the beginning of the boon and also curse for humanity. The tower of apocalypse, a chance given to humans to become gods by the universe at the same time to train for the threat of invasion. The tower of apocalypse is something the humanity fearred, worshipped and did everything in their power up climb.
He is also one of them, his name is Ryan Miller. He is one of the last survivorsnof humanity and the ones who fought the invaders. They won at the end but his friend stabbed him from the back for the rewards of victory in the invasion. The demons betrayed the alliance and wanted to snatch the loot.
As a result civil war broke out between them. Although he is stabbed he managed to kill his friend who in his last moments said the words," see you soon ", realising something is wrong, Ryan trapped him with the space-time prison, his trump card and devoured his soul.
As a result he got the skill called regression also the memories of all past lives of his friend. He clenched his fist. This isn't the first time he is betrayed. He is killed almost in all lives, the reason is he is a threat to the growth of his regressor frowned.
He looked back at his friend who has a blonde hair and green eyes that looks innocent and reliable. But in the heart this guy is worse than any demon. He harbored ill intentions since the beginning of school and befriending him is also a part of the plan.
' John Grey, you'll pay the price for your betrayal. ', as Ryan is thinking John greeted him," hey Ryan, why the cold face man? Did a girl rejected you? ", Ryan acted like nothing and said," nah I just remembered something in the past that made me angry. Don't think too much. By the way what are you talking about?".
John said," oh! We're thinking about throwing a party tomorrow at school. Wanna join?", Ryan smiled and said," gladly ",' afterall tomorrow is the beginning of the nightmare for all ', Ryan smiled harmlessly and accepted the invitation. The party which should be happy occasion turns into a bloody situation where nearly a quarter of friends lost their lives in the tutorial.
Ryan has no intention of saving them. Afterall everyone of them betrayed him in an occasion. Before he grew in power they even abandoned him one time in a maze with a minotaur. They used him as a bait and escaped. It's only because of that maze he is able to grow strong by battling monsters and farming exp in unfortunate circumstances.
To say a word, he is just an average player in his previous life before that incident. Ryan sorted out everything, regression. He is thrown back in time and can have a start but unlike his friend there, he has no chance for additional use. This is a one time skill as he didn't awaken it.
And John's regression skill will not longer be available because the system of the universe deemed it dangerous and destroyed the skill after his use. To be honest he really wanted a skill like that. Regression such a powerful skill is wasted on John who died many times at the very start.
And he betrayed many people ranging from human to gods, angels, demons etc., without a care relying on that one skill. ' In this life I will not be the same naive Ryan you all know. I'll kill you all ', Ryan decided as a fierce light appeared in his eyes. Just then the teacher stepped into the room and said," today our lesson is about establishment of Neon Province and it's early history. Turn to page 28 ".
The teacher as usual begin her lesson. But Ryan has no interest in it. He already knew the history as he learned it all in his previous life. He is a diligent student afterall. As Ryan is reminiscing in memories and sorting them one by one. The teacher observing that Ryan isn't paying attention to class immediately threw a chalk at him which he caught with his two fingers.
The teacher then yelled," Ryan Miller. Stand up and say who is the first ruler and also the established year of Neon Province ", Ryan stood up and said," first ruler is Ragnar Tristwin Lionheart. The establishment year of Neon Province is 1783", " who is the second ruler then and his period of rule ?", " The second ruler is Vandall Ragnar Lionheart and his rule lasted from 1820-1867 "," what is the fourth ruler of neon province famous for ?"," the fourth ruler of neon province is Xenovius Lucian Lionheart and he is famous for his just personality and his rebellion against his older brother who tried to ushrp the throne from the third ruler Lucian Vandall Lionheart".
The teacher asked some more questions and told him to sit down after she asked him questions that aren't in the textbook. John on side booed," nerd ", Ryan snorted as usual like in the past. The teacher is back to teaching class while Ryan organised his thoughts and remembered to the set of dates arranging them in a chronological order.
He is not going to John a guild or team again. As much as that brings benefits, it also means restrictions. Restriction on his movements and he needs to follow their orders irrespective of his rank. To be frank, once you join a guild it means you're their dog. You have to do their bidding and even your spoils of war belongs to them. If you say anything opposing word they will threw the contract at your face. In addition you'll only receive 60% of what you hunted. The 40% will be selected by the guild and they will take away whatever they like in some guilds.
