A Returner's Magic Should Be Special

After ten brutal years battling through the Shadow Labyrinth—an expanding mass of dark magic poised to swallow the world—mage Desir Herrman and five comrades finally bring down their last enemy, the dragon of destruction Boromir Napolitan. Their victory comes at a terrible cost: the mana sealed within the dragon erupts in a catastrophic blast that wipes out what remains of humanity.

Desir doesn’t die with the world. Instead, he awakens ten years in the past, carrying every memory of the future. Determined to change the outcome, he enters Hebrion Academy and sets out to confront the class-based discrimination that poisons the magical society. Even at the entrance exam, reality pushes back—despite placing first in his group, Desir is relegated to the Beta Class, the track reserved for commoners.

With time running in a new direction, Desir focuses on building allies he once failed to protect, starting with the wind mage Romantica Eru. To have any chance of averting disaster, he’ll need to prove himself against the elite Alpha Class and forge a party capable of rewriting fate.
