The True Identity of Lord Esteban's Killer
The pieces were finally on the table, each one fitting into place like a puzzle that had long remained unsolved.
First, he wasn't exactly a regressor. However, as an Apostle of the Demon King Laplace, he had undoubtedly gained access to knowledge from the previous timeline—everything that had transpired before the rewind. That alone made him no different from a true regressor.
Second, his real identity—Baek Hyeon-jun. A summoned hero from Earth, called to this world twenty years ago. Around the same time Mirayuki had been summoned to the Celestein Kingdom.
Third, his reason for killing Lord Esteban Valeraine…
It was because of me.
Baek had wanted me gone—desperately. In the previous timeline, I had been the one to kill him, avenging Mirayuki. Naturally, knowing this, he had no choice but to eliminate me first before I could do the same again.
But I wasn't here yet.
