Blood dripped from the tip of Kira's blade, sizzling as it touched the burning ground.
The air was thick with ash and the stench of death.
All around him, the corpses of comrades lay scattered—friends, rivals, even strangers who had fought beside him for years—now nothing more than broken memories.
The Tower's Final Guardian stood ahead, a monstrosity that blotted out the fractured sky. Its golden eyes burned with ancient malice, its wings like torn banners of a fallen god.
Kira's body was broken—armor shattered, ribs cracked, breath coming in ragged gasps.
But his grip on his weapon never faltered.

Zarek, the last surviving enemy, stepped into view from the shadows. His armor gleamed with the divine light of the Godslayer Set—an item no mortal should have possessed.
"You've done well to make it this far, Kira," Zarek said, his voice cold and mocking. "But your path ends here. I will take the Tower's final reward… and the right to become a god."
Kira's teeth clenched. "I'll never let you touch it. Not after what you've done… not after the lives you've destroyed."
Zarek smirked. "Those 'lives' were pawns. And you? You're nothing but a weakling clinging to false ideals."

The battle raged—steel against steel, skill against skill.
Kira's every strike was met with overwhelming force. Zarek was stronger, faster, and the divine power of his armor burned away Kira's health with every clash.
Still, Kira fought on.
I can't lose… not now. Not when I'm this close.

When Kira's blade finally found an opening, it plunged deep into Zarek's chest.
Zarek staggered, blood spilling down his armor, but his lips twisted into a smirk.
"You're too late… The Guardian's curse will take you too."
The monster behind them roared its death cry—and in that instant, the Tower's final chamber flooded with light.

Kira's vision blurred as the rewards floated before him.
Chrono Reversion.
His fingers trembled.
I can go back… I can undo everything… I can save them.
---
Flashes of memory struck him—his mother's pale face as illness took her, his father's broken body after failing the climb, the screams of a city overrun by monsters.
Tears welled up. He didn't hesitate.
"I choose… the day before the Tower appeared."
---
Light consumed him. The battlefield, the corpses, Zarek's smirk—they all vanished.
---
When Kira opened his eyes, he was lying in his old bed. The smell of his childhood home filled the air.
Downstairs, he heard his mother's voice calling him for breakfast.

His breath caught in his throat.
It worked…
