* * *
Albert Grey regressed to the past. The spell of remembrance had its full effect.
The wheel of life, altered by the existence of Rosé Artius, began to turn anew.
In this changed timeline, he remembered every moment he had spent with Jung-in, every glimpse of her past he had seen.
This was why he had to become a transcendental being without fail.
He needed to successfully complete the dragon’s ordeal, and once again become a dragon contractor, possessing the strength befitting the Jung-in standing beside him.
Blanc’s life had to flow as similarly as possible.
There were too many lurking threats outside for him to act freely.
Thus, Blanc planned to repeat exactly what had happened in his past until he met Albert in front of the tower.
This essentially meant he would continue to sleep.
From the moment Albert could move, he secretly began using magic.
Unlike the harmonious family life Jung-in had, his own family was still undoubtedly garbage, trying to dump his life in the mire, but it didn’t affect Albert much.
He hadn’t even thought of revenge.
After all, those meaningless people were not worth his time.
But his beloved hoped that he would have many more happy moments.
Therefore, Albert decided to expedite the meetings with those who played a family-like role for him, and to bring down Rosteratu earlier than before.
Albert pursued perfection in his work. It was challenging to practice magic alone, and building power was no different.
Thus, he waited to meet the person most suitable to collaborate on this task.
That person was his mentor, Emmett.

The day he met Emmett was when he had run out of the mansion, unable to bear his mother’s verbal abuse, and collapsed in an alley.
His mother’s tirades were the same this time, but Albert was unaffected.
He even felt pity for this woman who could do nothing but shout.
He sat down in the alleyway and waited for his mentor.
It was Emmett who had used his power to extract money from the previous tower master when he was young.
Emmett, as a transcendental being, possessed the information and power to overturn everything, though he tried hard not to involve himself in the affairs of the mortal world anymore.
“…What are you doing here?”
After a while, Emmett approached and asked.
Albert observed the face of his mentor, which had faded in his memory long ago.
His eyes were darker than he remembered, and his face was younger.
The man who always seemed like a boy despite his age. The man he thought he would never fully understand.
Maybe this time we can have a more regret-free ending.
Albert smiled broadly.
“Good job coming here.”
Albert stood up and bowed his head to Emmett.
“Please be my mentor.”
“…Excuse me?”
Emmett was taken aback by Albert speaking first about the proposal he intended to make.
Squarely facing a flustered Emmett, who seemed to be asking ‘Do you know who I am’, Albert said firmly.
“And please help me.”
His red eyes blazed like flames.
He was no longer the lost boy wandering aimlessly through life, as he had been in the past. He was a complete individual who understood the meaning of life.
Emmett crouched down in front of Albert and asked.
“Why do you want me to be your mentor?”
“I need to become a transcendent like you.”
“What does that mean…”
Emmett thought Albert was jumping to conclusions and tried to change the subject.
But Albert was quicker to continue speaking.
“I won’t cry about your final journey this time. Instead, don’t hide it anymore, and tell me properly why you have to go.”
Emmett quickly understood the situation.
“…You’re not the Young Count I know.”
Emmett was convinced because of Albert’s assertive manner, as if he had seen the future.
“Why do you need to become a transcendent?”
Thinking of Mary, Emmett asked Albert seriously. Becoming a transcendent was not easy.
Although he didn’t know what Albert was thinking in making such a choice, he couldn’t help him until a convincing reason was provided.
“Because I have to go meet my savior.”
“Your savior?”
“Jung-in.”
The moment he mentioned her name, a smile appeared on Albert’s face.
With a lingering smile in his voice, Albert added.
“…And incidentally, I plan to change my past, too.”
So that there would be no regrets.
His softly added words were sincere.
All these changes occurred because of one person.
Thus, Albert’s life began to change entirely from what it had been before.
