As blood-red cherry blossoms fall on the windowsill of Cassell College, Lu Mingfei is carving a sword mark into his textbook with a pencil.
He was once a loser kneeling before the Well of Bones, watching Herzog drain that little monster's blood. He was also a sword immortal who cut through heavenly tribulation, only to die at the final moment of saving another world. Now reborn with the memories of two lifetimes, he returns to the age of seventeen, before any of the tragedies have come to pass.
“I've been a savior, and I've been a stray dog.” He looks back one last time at Erii's cherry-blossom eyes.
“This time, I'll be a godslayer.”
This time, he keeps a dragon-blood-tempered sword hidden in his palm.
