From Magical Girl to Immortal Ascension

Five years ago, at the request of his beautiful squad leader, Fang Yun stood guard over the mortal world alone, armed with nothing but his staff. Five years later: “You’re over the age limit. Your bloodline is depleted. Your Fire Magic Staff is being reclaimed immediately.” Fang Yun smiled. He put down his magic staff, took his retirement pay, and turned to leave. But the moment he stepped through the Alliance’s gates, the roar of mutated beasts tore through the night sky once more. Fang Yun couldn’t be bothered to get involved. Then, in the next instant, the void shattered. Violet lightning tore through the heavens, and a deep-purple streak wrapped in thunder came hurtling straight into his hand! It was a brand-new magic staff. “Time Magical Girl, transform!” Fang Yun raised his hand and curled his fingers around empty air. The phantom of a gear burst open in his palm, spreading into a clock face etched across the entire block. He had lived in this world for eighteen years. Now, he held a magic staff capable of turning back time. Fang Yun looked up at the night sky, illuminated by violet lightning. The thing he had searched for over eighteen years, the obsession he had brought with him from Blue Star, the thought buried beneath the words “I surrender” when he was twelve, now reignited to the sound of gears turning backward. “I’d like to see,” he said, gripping the staff as violet lightning danced between his fingers, “whether this world has immortals after all, if I turn back time bit by bit!”
