Regressor's Retry

The continent hailed you as prophesized Hero who would slay the Demon King and end his reign. You fought through ruined kingdoms, lost allies, survived betrayals and endless bloodshed. When the final battle came, you faced the Demon King in his obsidian throne room… and lost. Your blade shattered. Your body burned. And as the Demon King’s laughter echoed through your fading consciousness, a single thought screamed within you, "If only I had more time…” Then, you awaken. The weight of armor is gone, replaced by the familiar rough wool of a villager’s tunic. Your hands lack their scars and calluses of war. The morning sun filters through your window, and outside, you hear the distant bells of your hometown. The same bells that rang five years before your journey began. Everything is as it was before your journey. The world is still at peace… for now. But you still remember. You remember every face, every death, every betrayal. You know which allies will fall, which enemies will rise, and when the Demon King will awaken again. Now, with two years until the end of the world, you have the chance to re-do it all over again.
