Synopsis
Regressor VS Possessor
God must hate me.
If not, He wouldn’t have taken everything from me like this.
I finally managed to find an abandoned mine where mana was said to flow—
The day before I could put down the deposit, someone beat me to it.
I fed beggars, gave them shelter, and built a hunter’s guild from scratch—
A noble family swooped in, offering knighthood and a fortune, and took them away.
Even then, I didn’t give up.
I poured the last of my wealth into trying to buy a single painting.
‘You have a good eye. I wonder if the rest of the Empire would agree?’
‘I’ll make sure they do.’
But just before we finalized the deal, the artist broke our agreement without warning.
A life full of misfortune and failures.
At the very end of it all, she appeared.
“When the details got too confusing, I just watched what you did. Then at the last moment, I was just a little faster.”
The one who stole all of my plans—Grace Servais.
”You’re the one I used as a benchmark, Iris.”
She was a possessor.

In a twisted struggle with her, I returned to when I was eighteen.
With all my memories intact.
“So that’s how it was.”
I murmured to myself, standing in front of the mirror.
“I really had it all, didn’t I?”
Grace, now I understand, just a little, why you were so confident.
Knowing the secrets of the world… really is a powerful weapon.
