"All I need is a second chance..."

"A second chance to make things right."

Watching the world in front of him crumble before his very eyes, Valyr felt immense regret.

He and his comrades made sure to prepare for every possible mishap, for every possible thing that could've gone wrong... yet in the end, their side still lost.

Feeling his consciousness slip away from him, the young man screamed out into the heavens, wishing at his dying moment to get a second chance. A second chance to make things right.

Thankfully, the heavens responded.

Sending him back into the world where everything began, Valyr was reborn as an NPC of Greater Beyond a year before the game went live.

Armed with all of the knowledge he'd gained from his past life, as well as the goal of not wanting the past to repeat itself, he was going to make sure they won the final battle this time, stopping at nothing to achieve it.

Though, before he could do that, he'd first have to pick up the path he ventured in the past.

MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

With Sellifer confirming the thoughts going on in Valyr's head with her words, the latter went silent for a bit before asking the woman a question. "How did you even get the affinity in the first place?"

"Even if you ask me, I wouldn't be able to answer." Sellifer shook her head in response. "After all, that was the same question my parents asked themselves when they found out I had an affinity for the forbidden energy."

"However, even after they retraced their paths to their ancestors, there was no solid conclusion to be found. All they found out was that I had gained the affinity for mana out of nowhere."

"If you were to ask me why, I would have no answer as well." She shrugged her shoulders soon after. "I did think for some time that the affinity was given to me for a greater purpose…"

"But I guess it was just the heavens doing its usual shenanigans of making sure beings were imperfect one way or another."
