​Only minutes had passed since the Aksin soldiers marched out of Black Raven Village. I immediately urged Frexia toward our home; the trauma of the previous timeline still clung to my mind like a cold shroud, leaving my limbs trembling and heavy.

​I pulled her inside with frantic haste, the wood of the door frame rough under my grip.

​"Wait, Aren! Why the rush? What’s wrong?" she asked, her voice laced with bewilderment.

​The moment we stepped inside, I slammed the door shut and leaned my full

  • Chapter 50: Clash of the Dragonaires

    ​Frexia’s unexpected arrival caught Akexia and me off guard while we were hunting together. Consumed by the mistaken belief that we were involved in a secret affair, Frexia immediately lashed out. What began as a simple misunderstanding quickly escalated until Akexia, refusing to back down, challenged Frexia to a duel.​The battle erupted with a terrifying intensity.​They took to the skies, engaged in a relentless display of raw power. It was a brutal, hand-to-hand exchange—fists and feet colliding with such force that every impact sent sonic waves rippling through the air, shaking the very earth beneath them. Each landed blow sent the other reeling, crashing into the dirt only to rise again. Frexia took a devastating hit that buried her deep into the ground, but she clawed her way out, her face a mask of pure, unyielding determination. She refused to be outclassed by Akexia, who, conversely, wore a confident smirk as she traded blows with her opponent.​Watching from below, my hear

  • Chapter 49: The Dragon's Jealousy

    ​​After concluding our business in the town of Akbe, we immediately headed back to the Black Raven tribe to proceed with our plan. Our goal was clear: we had to convince Frexia to be adopted by the Flause family, enroll in the Zeron Palace Academy, and ultimately claim the title of Top Elite Knight.​As we journeyed through the dense forest, we were constantly forced into combat with the monsters prowling the area, especially since we had veered far from the main road. Fighting them was no trouble for Akexia; what concerned me more was her refusal to use the Time Sword. Instead, she chose to engage them in grueling, hand-to-hand combat.​It was obvious she was enjoying the thrill of the hunt. Much as I wanted to stop her, I feared drawing her ire. I suddenly recalled her own warning that we were running out of time, yet here she was, squandering precious hours on a mere hobby.​What should have been a manageable trek turned into a six-hour ordeal. Our progress was slowed significantl

  • Chapter 48 : The Flause Proposition

    ​The atmosphere in the room grew heavy and suffocating following Akexia’s revelation. I could feel the Governor’s simmering rage as his gaze pierced through me.​I struggled to comprehend why Akexia had pointed me out as the one who killed the Governor’s son. I swallowed hard, my heart hammering against my ribs; it felt as though he was ready to strike me down where I stood.​"You have a great deal of nerve," the Governor growled, "coming before me to admit you killed one of my sons."​Anticipating a violent outburst, Akexia quickly intervened, recounting the details of what had transpired to Isaa.​"I understand your fury and your desire for vengeance," she said calmly, "but it would be wise to listen to his side before you pass judgment."​She paused, her voice steady. "He is simply a man who acted to protect his wife from your son’s attempted assault."​Despite his wrath, Isaa forced himself to maintain a semblance of composure. He demanded an explanation, his voice low and dangero

  • Chapter 47 : The governor office

    ​The municipal hall was eerily silent. While time remained frozen, I hurried through the corridors, the sound of my own footsteps muffled by the magic. I checked every room, my heart racing with every handle I turned. Finally, I came across a heavy set of double doors marked Governor’s Office. Two soldiers stood guard outside, mid-blink and perfectly still like wax figures.​"Finally, I found it," I muttered, catching my breath.​I pushed the doors open and stepped inside. The office was spacious, smelling of old paper and expensive tobacco. Behind a mahogany desk sat a man in a magnificent, elegant uniform. Gold medals glinted on his chest—unmistakable marks of his high-ranking status.​"Looks like this is our man," I whispered.​Suddenly, a faint light flickered from the crystal embedded in my hand. Ora and Akexia emerged, their forms shimmering in the stagnant air.​"Be careful," Ora whispered, her eyes scanning the room. "I sense magic spells active in this room. He’s also carryin

    ​The surroundings fell into a heavy silence after Ora spoke. I couldn't believe I was hearing those words directly from her. ​"You want me to leave Frexia? What kind of nonsense is this?" I asked, my voice laced with anger. ​"Go ahead, be angry with me—but please, listen to me first," Ora replied calmly. ​According to Ora, she understood my feelings regarding the breakup, but she argued that if I were to act logically rather than emotionally, I would see the benefit of her proposal. To her, separating now was the only way to avoid the tragedy we all feared. She brought up Akexia’s warning: that I had died fifty times solely because I was trying to save Frexia. To Ora, it was clear that Frexia had become an obstacle to our success. ​I knew exactly what she was referring to, but I couldn't bring myself to agree to a plan that involved abandoning her. ​"Our relationship is too deep to just end like this. You know how happy Frexia is; she's hoping for a peaceful life with me in the

  • Chapter 45 : The Burden of Birth

    ​The next morning, we woke up early to prepare for our journey to Akbe. We were barely an hour’s trek away from the town, and we needed to gather our strength for the battle ahead.​Some parts of the forest were infested with monsters that were actually edible, so we decided to hunt and secure some rations first.​"I don't think this meat is edible," I remarked to Akexia.​"Let’s head further west," she replied. "It would be better if we could find a river."​We encountered various types of monsters along the way. Even without using her Time Sword, Akexia made short work of her opponents. She hoisted heavy beasts and tossed them aside as if they were weightless. I watched in awe at how she dominated them using nothing but her raw, natural strength. "I’m truly amazed by the skill you show in combat."​She beamed, approaching me with a lively stride to flex her arm, proudly showing off her muscles.​"This is nothing," she boasted. "In my time, I once took down five hundred orcs in a sin
