As Kei was walking down the busy streets of the city, he started compiling everything he knew so far.

'Ok, so it appears I have traveled back in time. It's obvious it's a few years back (maybe 5-6?) I should check a calendar later to confirm the date.(but even that won't help a lot. The Calamity didn't help with the perception of time)

My condition is the same that it was in the past meaning I didn't keep any of my blessings or marks (that actually sucks) not even the soul related ones were saved but I do feel a certain sensation regarding some. For example, I may not possess the Dragon Pact, but I can still feel a lingering effect of it, not enough to use, but it is something.

My objective should obviously be stopping the calamity, but...how can I do that? The Calamity is such a powerful thing that even the Destined Hero failed to stop it. And they had the most powerful blessings in the worls. They were called "Destined Hero" for a reason after all. I will have to seriously think of a plan for this.(would that even change anything?)

But now the elephant in the room... why can't I remember the full conversation? I remember that I died and met with Them, and we talked, but... parts of the conversation are...obscured? Like someone doesn't want me to know. But that's impossible! it was just the two of us. And I know that whatever they said was important.Come on, Kei, think!'

But despite trying to remember what was said, the only thing he got was a headache.

'Aaaaaa Damnit, I guess I will have to continue blind for now. It's too early for this... for now, I will enjoy the fact that the world is normal. Maybe at night I will start thinking of a plan.' With his mind set up, he finally focuses on the road ahead.

After walking for a bit, he finally reaches the store.

'Ahhh this store, the only one that will sell the materials for bread at such a low price, I have come so many times here that I could do it with my eyes closed' Kei thought as he entered the store.

'But why would I hate coming here?'

"Well, hel- oh, it's you..." The man attending the store didn't look pleased as Kei entered.

"Hello to you too -"

'What was his name again? After so long, I kinda forgot.'

"It's Leroy" The young man says as he looks with disgust to Kei.

'Now i remember a little. Leroy, the son of Reiyo, his father is considered something of a charitable sort of person.'

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Oh yeah! Leroy! What are you doing here? Shouldn't your dad be here?"

"He is currently talking to a client backdoor, so you will have to wait." It was obvious Leroy didn't want him to wait.

"Sadly, I gotta talk about some business with him. So I will wait." A smirk almost crosses his face. After all, being able to be childish again after so much is quite the unique opportunity.

"...you have quite the nerve you know...after what you pulled the other day." Leroy started to watch him with anger.

'Fuck... what did I do? I should have done a little overview of what I did in the past few days... another thing for the checklist.'

"No response, heh... not surprising coming from a weirdo like you."

"..."

"You think because you are ohhh so miserableeee you can do whatever you want? Well, the answer is no, you freak of nature. "

'Now I remember...'

"Hey Leroy. Remind me of something. When was the last time your girl didn't sleep with the fat pig downstreet?"

"!... You motherfucker!!!" Leroy volts over the counter and tries to grab him.

'Yeah, I remember. You were so insignificant in the past that I probably deleted you from my memory.

The second rate bully that used his age and height as an advantage. You used to bully me around this time, didn't you?

Oh, but I remember how, in an espionage mission, I found out how your future wife earned a few extra coins. Your face was priceless when I threw it at your face, hahaha.

I think that was the last time i saw you alive...'

"You know for being someone so "superior" you can't even cast basic spells. Heck I would even say that you are worse than me because at least I got an excuse, while you are simply bad" Kei says while gracefully dodging Leroy's attacks.

"YOU FUCKING FREAK! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING! AT LEAST I DONT HAVE TO LIVE KNOWING I AM A FUCKING NOBODY LIKE YOU!"

"Uf...that actually hurt you know" he says in a sarcastic voice.

"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!"

Suddenly another voice enters the discussion. "Who will kill who?"

Leroy immediately stops his attack and watches as a man stands next to the backdoor of the store.

The man is big (not in a fat neither muscular way, mostly a balance between both) his once brown hair now started turning grey(age is catching up to him). His presence was imposing and demanded respect. An annoyed look on his face.

"D...d...dad..." Leroy's anger immediately subsides as nervousness(and a hint of fear) settles in. "W...we we ju...st...playing" he immediately starts to create a little story.

'If I let him alone he will definitely be punished...ahhh just this once.'

"Hello Reiyo. We were just talking about the last story released in the newspaper. You know the one about a knight seeking vengance."

Leroy immediately jumps at the chance of being able to free himself from his father's punishment.

"Ye... yeah... we were acting the part of the knight taking revenge..."

Reiyo looks at both of them and simply exhales. He probably didn't buy it, but at least he didn't make it apparent.

"What do you need, Kei? I am pretty sure you aren't here just to talk about the newspaper"

"You got me! I am here to buy materials for our bakery. And also to talk about something"

"I got the materials right in the other room. If you wanna talk, come back later, I am currently busy."

"Sounds good to me"

'Even though I said I would start planification later, I still need to start setting up some things in advance. And what better way to start than having a talk with Reiyo, the publicly known "protector" of the streets and those unfortunates enough to end there... what a load of shit.'

Before going to the next room Kei looks over his shoulder and sees Leroy with a mixed looked on his face.

'Even though I don't like you, even you didn't deserve what came to you. Who would have guess that the only reason one exists is just to be merchandise?' Kei with a pitiful look continues forward again and collects the materials to go back home.
