Fate split before me into two unrelated, straight lines: one leading to palaces and cities burning fiercely in flames, kingdoms collapsing, the earth bearing suffering, and living beings enduring torment in the fire, forever shrouded in darkness. Another path leads to the pinnacle of ancient kings, where the gods themselves crowned me from the clouds. I donned the laurel wreath and was bathed in the cheers of the mountains.

I took this scepter, grasped the power that belonged to the world in my hands, looked down upon all living beings, and changed the course of history.

Simplified Synopsis: This is the story of a reborn warrior with the memories of his past life, who travels to the world he once fought in, reversing the course of history and becoming a legendary figure.
