In this world, human are in peril. 72 Obelisks suddenly appeared out of nowhere, infecting the world with Monsters. Amongst this chaos, people look for hope.

A man named Basil Pacifer is the humanity's hope. He is the strongest Mage alive at that point. Sadly, he believes in no man, and he always moves alone.

...

Basil observes the unfolding scene bitterly. He is aware of his impending doom, however he has no grudge. He has lived long enough to achieve things people can only dream about. 

Looking back to his past, he realized his life is nothing more than a sad story.

Closing his eyes, he accepted his end — or so he thought.

...

"Look at me! What do you see?"

"Regrets."

"Don't you want to undo it?"

"Tell me what the offer is."

Thus, Basil Pacifer returned to the past, being his younger self once again. Of course, he returned back with something.

The Lord Is Too Overbearing

External Carving is a process of completing one's Magic Circle while materializing it to the world. This method requires the help of one's other Magic Circles to complete the Magic Circle one wants to finish. 


This method was the fastest method any Mage could choose to Carve their Magic Circles. However, if a Mage missed even one step, the Carving process would fail and they would be forced to forfeit the Magic Circle they had been Carving.


Due to this reason, Mage always opted to Carve their Magic Circle without projecting it. This method is called Internal Carving—the safest and most common way to complete one's Magic Circle. 


Of course, everything has their plus and minus. Although the success rate of Internal Carving was higher than External Carving, it took a considerably longer time. 


This is the reason why there were still some Mages who dare to attempt External Carving; they wanted to advance faster.
