An Extra’s POV

"This… shouldn't be happening."

Adonis currently sat on his bed, his room surrounding him like one massive cage that tied him down.

His eyes appeared vacant as they fixatedly stared at the ground, and his head hung low atop his shoulder.

Despite his usual muscular figure, Adonis looked strangely small in the confines of his room.

"So much has changed. I can't keep up any longer." He sighed, punching his forehead with his hand.

Adonis could not properly describe what he was feeling at the moment.

He had tried his best to ensure his second chance at life wasn't wasted.

He made sure his classmates were a coherent team, and he ensured they started training early and took it very seriously.

He practiced hard—working his butt off even when everyone was resting.

All of it was so he could get even the tiniest bit stronger than he was in the past.

And yet…

'When it came down to it, I failed.'

The Hero exists for one sole reason; and that is to save people from danger.

Adonis felt like a failure for being unable to perform his sole responsibility.

He was a Regressor who knew the future, yet somehow everything that was happening seemed to catch him off-guard.

It was a mortifying thing for him.

'And now, look at everything.'

The classmates he tried so hard to hold together had fallen apart. The duo of Alicia and Billy that he implicitly encouraged due to how they were in his past life—especially after the kidnapping—turned out to be a hoax.

He was the only one among their classmates who knew what had happened thanks to practically being an integral part of the Royal Council at this point.

As such, Alicia and Billy had to tell him—alongside Vida and Conrad—what happened to them.

'Alicia seems to trust me a little now. She didn't hesitate to talk to me. I suppose she knows I won't tell anyone and cause more social dysfunction.'

The result of all that drama was Adonis finding out the truth about what happened—both in this life and likely in the past too.
