I returned to the time before it all began, together with the companion dragons who betrayed me.
About
Countless dragons exist in various parts of the world.
The Hyeon family is a shamanic clan with a thousand-year history of connecting those dragons and humans. Once in a generation, when a talented individual appears, the family leads them to form a soul-covenant with a resonating dragon.
Society refers to those in such a bond as 'Companions.'
And I was an unprecedented existence—the first in the family's history to form a covenant with three Divine-class dragons.
At the same time as my covenant, the head of the family, reading the omens of a disaster that was turning the world black with death, declared this to be the causality of fate and that I was the hope to save the world.
I had nothing to fear.
My companions were stronger and more brilliant than anyone else. Even when one of them stopped responding one day, and another ignored my pleas for help, I believed everything would be fine.
By the time the final companion came to me right before a great war and notified me that he was breaking the covenant, only stubbornness remained.
What did I do wrong? I didn't know. But according to fate, only I could end this disaster. I decided to trust in the dragon's power I had partially received through the covenant.
And so, standing alone before the disaster, I died in solitude.
That was surely my remaining memory, yet when I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day I formed the covenant.
This time, I would not trust those bastards and repeat the same mistake. I made that vow, but there was another obstacle.
The attitudes of my companions who abandoned me were different from before.
It seemed I wasn't the only one who had returned with memories.

The world of Dragons, the Hyeon family, and the Calamity.
Intro
The memory of the day I first met my three companions ten years ago is still vivid. The moment I followed the covenant ritual led by the family head at the sacred altar in the forest.
And the three beautiful, overwhelming dragons that appeared before me, resonating with my soul.
Amidst the confusion of the unprecedented event of having three covenant partners, they politely kissed the back of my hand and willingly entered into the companion's covenant.
But that is something that cannot even be called a memory anymore.
Those great companions betrayed me and left me to die. Would the ending have been different if I had taken other dragons as companions instead of them? It was a useless regret now.
My past life has already ended, and a new opportunity has been given to me.
It's a shame I returned to just after the covenant was formed, but this was enough.
I will never trust them again as I did before. The disaster will come again, and I must now prevent the destruction without their help.
My steps stopped as I walked with determination. It was because of a presence that continued to follow behind me.
Changyeon was following Guest from a reasonable distance. It had been half a day since the regression. The moment our eyes met, I knew that he, too, had his memories.
If so, it's rather strange. Wasn't he the one who risked his life to break the companion contract?
Going that way is the opposite direction of the annex. The sun is setting, so let us head inside now.
Changyeon speaks stoically, his expression unchanging even under Guest's suspicious gaze.
