The Author's POV

Chapter 725

The sun rose slowly in the east, its rays piercing through the morning mist like spears of light.

As it climbed higher in the sky, it transformed the dark world into a vibrant tapestry of colors, painting the clouds with fiery oranges, pinks, and yellows.

In a quaint, cozy chapel nestled in a peaceful cemetery, soft instrumental music played in the background.

The center was occupied by three baskets. There were also three portraits placed next to them. Three people: a man in his middle years, a young woman, and a young girl.

…They all wore bright smiles on their faces.

Sat on one of the wooden benches of the chapel, a young man gazed at the pictures. His shoulders trembled.

There weren't many people in the chapel. Just three people. It was rather quiet.

The only sound that could be heard was the mumbled cries that were eventually made audible by the young man who was at the front.

Seated two rows behind, Kevin quietly stared at Ren who mournfully cried.

'In the end, they still died…'

Despite his meddling, and giving Ren the Xurin fruit, his family still died.

This world wasn't a kind one.

Just like his parents, there wasn't much he could do. Nothing could change the inevitable faith that awaited them.

There wasn't much emotion on Kevin's face as he gazed at Ren. He could somewhat understand what he was feeling, but it wasn't to a high degree.

…He was still trying to understand.

Understand what he was feeling and what others were feeling.

He was slowly getting there, but it would still take some time.

After propping himself up with his hand on the wooden bench, he stood up on his own. While staring at Ren as he sobbed, he straightened his clothes and then left.

He had seen enough.

"What would you do if you had the power to reverse back time? …Even if in the end, your effort will be for naught…"

It was a simple question. A question he had asked out of simple curiosity. There wasn't much of a meaning behind it.

Nonetheless, the answer he got was an unexpected one.

"I'd spend every second of it thinking that it would be my last."

"…Do you not have higher aspirations? Like perhaps wanting to be the strongest?"

"With my talent?"

He scoffed.

"Regardless of how much I try, I'll always stop once I reach my limit. If I can reverse time… then I'll just make sure every day is my last. I'll make the most of it."

'Make the most of it…'

Kevin started to ponder over those words.

He eventually shook his head. That wasn't the answer he was looking for.

Turning his head, he stared at Ren.

"What if… every time you died, time would rewind and you'd witness everything happen over and over again… how would you feel then?"

"…I don't know."

Ren gazed up at the sky.

"I'd probably be happy at first. Grateful, even… But maybe, at some point, I think I'll lose my mind. I'd probably end up cursing the one who did this to me like crazy."

"You think so?"
