[00:02] KYLE/NA
    There are humanoid species,
[00:03] KYLE/NA
    such as humans, elves, and dwarves,
    who are blessed by the gods of light.
[00:09] KYLE/NA
    Then there are demons,
    which, while few in number,
[00:14] KYLE/NA
    are blessed by darkness and individually
    far stronger than humanoids.
[00:18] KYLE/NA
    These two forces have clashed for millennia,
[00:22] KYLE/NA
    dividing the vast continent of Leunders
    into the east and west.
[00:26] KYLE/NA
    However, when a moderate demon king
    took the throne three hundred years ago,
[00:32] KYLE/NA
    the situation stabilized, and humanoids
    grew accustomed to a temporary peace.
[00:36] KYLE/NA
    In the fifth month of the year 2826,
    that peace was broken,
[00:41] KYLE/NA
    and under a new demon king,
    the demons launched an all-out attack
[00:45] KYLE/NA
    against the humanoids that would
    be known as the Great Invasion.
[00:51] KYLE/NA
    With no regard for their own casualties,
    the demons fought fiercely,
[00:55] KYLE/NA
    and several humanoid nations
    fell the blink of an eye.
[01:00] KYLE/NA
    By the fourth month
    of the following year, 2827,
[01:05] KYLE/NA
    the Gargan Empire, which boasted the largest
    humanoid fighting force, was destroyed.
[01:11] KYLE/NA
    With nowhere left to turn,
    humanoids took desperate measures.
[01:16] KYLE/NA
    They gathered their remaining troops
[01:18] KYLE/NA
    and engaged the main
    demon army in a reckless battle
[01:21] KYLE/NA
    while a suicide squad entered the demon king's
    castle, functionally the enemy base,
[01:26] KYLE/NA
    to assassinate the demon king
    in a final act of desperation.
[02:06] KYLE
    Are you all right?
[02:22] KYLE
    Theron!
[02:23] THERON
    Go on without me.
[02:25] THERON
    I'll handle these guys.
[02:29] KYLE
    We're counting on you.
[02:41] THERON
    Damn... What a pain in the ass.
[03:02] KYLE
    Let's go.
[03:15] KYLE
    What is that?
[03:18] SILDONIA
    Above you!
[03:36] KYLE
    Urza!
[04:34] KYLE
    What was that attack?
[04:35] SILDONIA
    That was Elimination, an unblockable
    high-level spell that destroys everything.
[04:42] KYLE
    I need to do something drastic.
[04:46] KYLE
    My only option is to release
    the gemstone's magic power.
[04:49] SILDONIA
    If my wielder is risking his life,
    then I have no choice but to join you.
[04:55] KYLE
    I'm sorry.
[04:57] SILDONIA
    Laws of wisdom, become a flash of light
    to destroy the ignorance of darkness!
[05:50] KYLE
    It's finally over.
[05:55] KYLE
    Hey.
[05:57] KYLE
    You can't respond to me anymore, can you?
[06:07] KYLE/ID
    It's quiet.
[06:10] KYLE/ID
    I guess I'm the only survivor.
[06:16] KYLE/ID
    Everything I wanted to protect is gone now.
[06:20] KYLE/ID
    My home, my family, my friends, my beloved...
[06:25] KYLE/ID
    I've lost them all.
[06:33] KYLE/ID
    Now, at last, I too can...
[06:54] KYLE/ID
    A magical item?
[06:56] KYLE/ID
    If that thing's magic power
    goes out of control...
[08:13] KYLE
    Is this... my room?
[08:18] KYLE/ID
    No, that's impossible.
[08:39] KYLE/ID
    I must be dreaming.
[08:44] LIESE
    Kyle, how long are you going to sleep?
[08:46] LIESE
    Get up already.
[08:51] LIESE
    Oh, you're already awake.
[08:54] KYLE
    Liese...
[08:57] LIESE
    Hey.
[08:59] LIESE
    What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?
[09:06] LIESE
    Huh?
[09:09] KYLE
    I get it now. This is a dream.
[09:17] LIESE
    W-Wait a minute...
[09:19] KYLE
    I don't care if it is.
[09:21] KYLE
    I'm so glad to see you again, Liese.
[09:23] LIESE
    What's gotten into you?
[09:54] LIESE
    What are you thinking?!
[09:55] LIESE
    I don't know what that was, but I need
    time to emotionally prepare myself!
[10:02] LIESE
    You jerk!
[10:08] KYLE
    Huh?
[10:10] KYLE
    I can feel pain.
[10:12] KYLE
    Maybe it's not a dream?
[10:25] KYLE/ID
    Yeah, it's not a dream.
[10:37] KYLE/ID
    I'm younger, aren't I?
[10:40] KYLE/ID
    Moreover, I thought I suffered
    near-fatal injuries.
[10:45] KYLE/ID
    If this isn't a dream, what's going on?
[11:01] KYLE/ID
    The town is back to normal.
[11:03] KYLE/ID
    Liese is alive and well, and I'm young again.
[11:06] KYLE/ID
    I can only assume I've returned to the past.
[11:14] KYLE/ID
    But that's not possible.
    Does that mean this thing was the cause?
[11:18] KYLE/ID
    There's no way a spell to return to the past—
[11:24] KYLE/ID
    Whatever the case,
    I guess I still get hungry.
[11:32] KYLE/ID
    Liese must've made this for me.
[11:36] KYLE/ID
    She frequently came over to cook,
    since my mom and I couldn't.
[11:47] KYLE/ID
    That's good!
[11:48] KYLE/ID
    I haven't had a proper meal in so long.
[12:01] KYLE
    I ate way too much.
[12:05] THERON
    Hey. I'm starving.
[12:08] THERON
    What? Hang on!
[12:10] THERON
    You've gotta be kidding me!
    You ate it all yourself?!
[12:16] KYLE
    Theron...
[12:18] THERON
    Damn it!
[12:20] THERON
    I was looking forward to this, since
    Liese got all fancy with the recipe.
[12:24] KYLE/ID
    Theron...
[12:25] THERON
    You could've at least left me a bite.
[12:26] KYLE/ID
    We were fighting together
    until just moments ago, but...
[12:28] THERON
    You seriously ate all of it.
[12:31] THERON
    What are you looking at?
[12:34] KYLE
    I, uh...
[12:37] KYLE
    What day of what month and year is it today?
[12:42] THERON
    What're you on about?
[12:43] THERON
    It's the 24th day of the fifth
    month of the year 2823.
[12:48] KYLE
    Really? You're sure?
[12:50] THERON
    Yeah, it's definitely the 24th day
    of the fifth month of the year 2823.
[12:56] THERON
    Oh, right. Today's your birthday, yeah?
[12:59] THERON
    Then I guess it's fine.
[13:01] THERON
    We'll say that meal was your birthday present.
[13:04] KYLE
    Kinda cheap, don't you think?
[13:06] KYLE
    Besides, that wasn't yours to give.
[13:10] THERON
    Man, I'm starving.
[13:12] THERON
    I'm gonna go get something from Liese.
[13:16] THERON
    If I kiss the ground and beg,
    she'll probably feed me a full meal.
[13:23] KYLE/ID
    As usual, he'll do anything
    to achieve his goals.
[13:30] KYLE
    Now then, what should I do?
[13:33] KYLE
    If I really have magically
    returned to the past...
[13:39] KYLE
    Well... I'll have to ask her about it.
[14:09] CERAIA
    Oh, Kyle. Rare to see you here.
[14:13] KYLE
    It's morning, Mom.
[14:16] KYLE
    Were you up all night reading again?
[14:19] CERAIA
    Morning already?
[14:20] CERAIA
    I can never tell what time it is in here.
[14:24] KYLE
    To be honest, I have a magic question for you.
[14:27] CERAIA
    Gosh, I don't know if I'll have an answer.
[14:30] KYLE
    You're an archmage.
    One of only a handful in the country.
[14:34] KYLE
    Not many people know more
    about magic than you do.
[14:37] CERAIA
    I suppose not.
[14:41] KYLE
    Listen, are there any spells
    to return you to the past?
[14:45] CERAIA
    There are.
[14:46] KYLE
    What? Really?
[14:48] CERAIA
    They're not very well known, but there
    are definitely spells that affect time.
[14:54] CERAIA
    But we merely know they exist.
     Nobody can use them.
[14:58] CERAIA
    It's a matter of the required magic power.
[15:00] KYLE
    Magic power?
[15:02] CERAIA
    Even if the greatest mage in history
    used all their magic power,
[15:07] CERAIA
    I doubt they could travel back
    even a single second.
[15:11] KYLE
    Then what about with
     the help of a magic item?
[15:14] CERAIA
    I see. An interesting idea.
[15:16] CERAIA
    You mean using a magic item
    as a catalyst to store magic power?
[15:21] CERAIA
    Even then, it would take someone over
    a millennium to store that much magic power.
[15:28] KYLE
    What if you used the Forbidden Rite?
[15:31] CERAIA
    The Forbidden Rite...
[15:32] CERAIA
    A sacrificial ritual to turn
    life force into magic power.
[15:37] CERAIA
    Where did you learn about that?
[15:39] KYLE
    I just saw it in a book.
[15:41] KYLE
    I don't know much about it.
[15:43] CERAIA
    I see.
[15:45] CERAIA
    Even with the Forbidden Rite,
     it'd be impossible.
[15:48] CERAIA
    You'd need the lives of half
    the humanoids on the continent.
[15:53] KYLE/ID
    In other words, it is possible
    if you sacrifice half the land.
[15:58] CERAIA
    On top of that,
[16:00] CERAIA
    there's no catalyst capable of storing the
    magic power it'd take to go back in time.
[16:03] CERAIA
    But if one... did exist...
[16:13] CERAIA
    I think it'd be in this book.
[16:16] CERAIA
    Ah, here we are.
[16:19] CERAIA
    The legendary Divine Dragon's Heart
    is just about your only option.
[16:26] KYLE
    The ancient magic kingdom of Xarles
[16:28] KYLE
    prospered for a thousand years
    thanks to the Divine Dragon's Heart
[16:32] KYLE
    and the tremendous magic power it contained.
[16:36] KYLE
    But its power was eventually depleted,
[16:40] KYLE
    leading to the kingdom's downfall.
[16:44] CERAIA
    I'd bet the Divine Dragon's Heart could store
    enough magic power to return to the past.
[16:50] CERAIA
    But it's been missing
     for over a thousand years.
[16:55] CERAIA
    Perhaps it's already fallen into demon hands.
[17:00] KYLE
    I see.
[17:03] CERAIA
    This is nice.
[17:05] KYLE
    Huh?
[17:06] CERAIA
    It's been ages since we last talked this much.
[17:12] CERAIA
    You quit your sword training
    and you've been avoiding me lately...
[17:18] KYLE
    Not on purpose!
[17:20] KYLE
    I, uh... I'm sorry.
[17:23] CERAIA
    I swear! I've really missed you!
[17:28] CERAIA
    But today, you seem more mature than usual.
[17:31] CERAIA
    It's like you're here from the future.
[17:34] KYLE
    What?
[17:35] CERAIA
    Just kidding.
[17:37] CERAIA
    Gosh, I'm so hungry.
[17:40] CERAIA
    Liese cooked for us again today, right?
[17:43] KYLE
    Oh, uh... I ate it all.
[17:47] CERAIA
    What?
[17:48] KYLE
    Sorry! I couldn't help myself.
[17:49] CERAIA
    It's fine.
[17:51] CERAIA
    Oh, that reminds me!
     Today's your birthday, isn't it?
[17:55] KYLE
    How like you to forget
    your own son's birthday.
[17:59] CERAIA
    Then that meal can be your birthday present.
[18:04] KYLE
    Why is everyone trying
    to cheap out on my gift?
[18:19] KYLE
    Returning to the past, huh?
[18:23] KYLE
    What did he want to do over?
[18:27] LIESE
    There you are.
[18:32] KYLE
    Sorry about this morning!
[18:35] LIESE
    At least you feel bad about it.
[18:37] KYLE
    I only did it because I had
    a weird dream that upset me.
[18:42] KYLE
    I'm really sorry!
[18:45] LIESE
    What kind of dream?
[18:50] LIESE
    Was it one about me dying?
[18:55] KYLE
    Yeah, something like that.
[19:00] LIESE
    So that's why you were so distraught.
[19:03] LIESE
    Huh. I see.
[19:08] LIESE
    In that case, I forgive you.
[19:11] LIESE
    Besides, today's your birthday.
[19:14] LIESE
    Happy birthday, Kyle!
[19:18] KYLE
    Our town is close to demon territory.
[19:21] KYLE
    It was the first to be attacked
    in the Great Invasion.
[19:24] KYLE
    They burned it to the ground,
    leaving it a hellscape.
[19:29] KYLE
    That's how I lost Liese.
[19:46] KYLE/ID
    On that day, I swore I'd avenge her.
[19:52] LIESE
    Kyle. Kyle?
[19:55] LIESE
    What's wrong, Kyle?
[19:57] LIESE
    You're scaring me.
[20:01] KYLE
    It's nothing.
[20:05] LIESE
    Really? Then I guess it's fine.
[20:09] KYLE/ID
    Three years from now, this peace will end.
[20:12] KYLE/ID
    I'm the only one who knows.
[20:15] KYLE/ID
    If I do nothing, I'll be forced
    to witness the same thing over again.
[20:19] KYLE/ID
    I'll lose them again—
[20:22] KYLE/ID
    My family, my home, my world,
    and the people I love.
[20:29] KYLE
    I'll change it.
[20:30] KYLE
    My fate—
[20:32] KYLE
    I'm going to change my fate!
[20:34] KYLE
    I'll change my stupid fate
    and the fate of the whole world!
[20:39] KYLE
    I swear I will!
[20:42] KYLE
    No matter what it takes!
[22:39] KYLE/ID
    This is my advantage.
[22:41] KYLE/ID
    I've logged all the future events I
    can remember in this notebook, but...
[22:46] KYLE/ID
    Still...
[22:48] KYLE/ID
    What should I be doing?
[22:50] KYLE/ID
    I came here from four years in the future.
[22:53] KYLE/ID
    The demons will launch an all-out
    attack three years from now,
[22:58] KYLE/ID
    but even if I tell people to prepare,
    nobody will believe me.
[23:05] KYLE/ID
    I'll have to kill the mysterious
    demon king myself!
[23:11] KYLE/ID
    That's not happening.
[23:13] KYLE/ID
    Even if luck goes completely in my favor,
[23:16] KYLE/ID
    I can't do this alone at my current strength.
[23:21] KYLE/ID
    No...
[23:23] KYLE/ID
    I should check first.
