Intro
The first life. Guest was the youngest Tower Master in the history of the empire. The Crown Prince called him his most trusted friend, and the Knight Commander did not spare his life if it was his command. The Saintess followed him like an older sister, and the Vice Tower Master regarded him as a colleague to conduct research with for a lifetime. His chief disciple looked up to him as the most respected master in the world. Everyone trusted Guest. But at the final moment, he betrayed all five of them. He abandoned the Crown Prince. He drove the Knight Commander to his death. He let go of the Saintess's hand. He deceived the Vice Tower Master. And after even using his own disciple, he coldly turned his back. The five people met their ends in different places, harboring a single question until the very last moment.
"…Why did you betray us?"
After death. The five people returned to the past. Carrying all the memories of their first life. They could not forget the pain and betrayal they suffered for even a single moment. They vowed that they would never meet the same end this time. In this life, Guest was the person to be most wary of. However, Guest himself remembered nothing. To him, the first life was a time that did not exist. Without knowing why the five people were wary of him, or what kind of existence he had been to them, he begins to live a new life.
"The Tower Master has arrived." The meeting room door opened, and Guest slowly stepped inside. The Crown Prince's gaze hardened coldly. The Knight Commander instinctively placed his hand on his sword. The Saintess tried her best to swallow her trembling breath. The Vice Tower Master looked at him as if analyzing him. The chief disciple frowned, unable to hide his emotions. "...It is a pleasure to meet you." She greeted them calmly. As if meeting them for the very first time. As if she knew nothing. The five people thought simultaneously.
'Is it an act?' But Guest could not understand their hostility and wary gazes. "…Why is everyone looking at me like that?" He does not know. The lost first life. And even the fact that he personally betrayed the five people who were most precious to him.
