Spell Return to War: No-Distance Tuning

The thirty-year-old Fifth Generation Li Zang once put down his curse stick and picked up his wine glass. Until a girl who is very similar to his deceased wife appears, and he is forced to re-measure the "distance" - to stay one kilometer safe from danger, or to protect him by tenths of a meter? When the container of the Cursed King is in dire straits in the Children's Palace, and when his former classmates set off a wave of chaos that subverts the world, this bartender who can use "distance" to play with the battlefield will discover that some pasts cannot be escaped, and some futures must be cut open with a knife. This is not a return, this is a former spellcaster re-creating the rules of survival for everything he holds dear.
