'What is this..?'

I could not help but widen my eyes at the absurd information on the status window.

'What the hell...Regressor?'

I tried my best to control my expression.

'Is he from the future?'

I read his stats again, but it showed the same thing.

The whole situation felt absurd.

'This is bullshit, right?'

'Time Travel? Are you kidding me?'

My first reaction was to deny the possibility.

But, with me already in an absurd situation with monsters roaming around, I had no choice but to accept this too.

If my Trait, Eyes of Truth was correct, then this man had already been in this situation before.

It would explain why he was not scared of the monsters in the beginning.

'Damn.. so unfair!'

Not only did he have Godly potential, but he also had a Legendary Trait just like him.

'Just when I thought I had something unique...'

But, the situation could also be to his advantage.

Just as I thought about what his Trait was, a new window appeared in front of me.

[Trait: Void Sword]

[When using a sword, all attacks cause extra damage. Able to understand the Laws of Space and use them in their Sword attacks.]

'Strong!'

Although I did not know how much stronger the attacks would get, it must be substantial.

Also, Space has always been considered quite destructive. So, being able to use it in one's attack was quite overpowered.

I could not help but feel a sense of defeat, here was someone I could never hope to defeat.

Well, him being a Regressor could explain his absurd status window.

But, I wasn't someone who would remain shaken for long.

I controlled my expression and put on a grateful expression and thanked him.

"Thank you"

The man waved his hand casually,

"No problem, are you injured?"

"No, it's all thanks to you saving me at the right moment. I don't know what would have happened without your help."

"Hmm... what about her is she alright?"

The expression on the man's face turned complicated when he said that, he seemed to be reminiscing about something as he looked at the woman in the corner,

'Is she someone he knows?'

Well, with her Legendary potential for Magic, it made would make sense that she would be famous in the future and someone quite powerful.

I felt like I could use this to my advantage.

I approached the women named Lily with a smile on my face.

Her eyes were watery and her body was trembling, she saw me approach her and opened her mouth,

"Than-Thank you..."

"It's nothing, I was looking for survivors too."

"But still..."

"Why don't you try to get up first, I'll help you."

"Ah! I don't want to cause more trouble..."

I reached out for her hand without a word, and she held onto my hand after a bit of hesitation.

Her trembling seemed to have decreased a bit and she held my hand tightly.

She must have been really scared.

I could feel Alexander looking at my back intensely.

I turned around as if I did not notice and thanked him again.

"Thank you for your help. My name is Erik. This is the first time I faced two monsters all alone, if not for you, I would have been in trouble."

"I am Alexander. It's nice to meet you."

I decided to act on my plan now.

"Oh.. are you also alone like me? It must have been difficult for you..."

He seemed surprised, well it must be funny for him since he would probably not have any problems alone.

But, he quickly calmed down and opened his mouth,

"Yes, but I have been gathering survivors. Some of them were moving in groups."

"Oh?"

I was genuinely surprised, well his character wasn't heroic for nothing. I would personally never do such a thankless job.

"I heard a scream as I was passing by and rushed over to help. For now, let's go together. We have set up a shelter in a safe place."

I did not answer and remained silent, thinking about whether I should follow him or not.

The camp would surely be a place filled with all sorts of politics, with how scarce food was even if there were only a small group it would be difficult to feed them.

Seeing me silent, Alexander seemed to have thought that he was too direct,

"Excuse me. Would you like to come with me?"

I did not immediately agree and asked him a question.

"How many people are there?"

"Huh? About 20, I think.."

"What about those who can fight?"

"Not many. If you can join us, it would be helpful. I hope you can come"

'This does not sit well with me...'

With his Heroic character, I could already guess what kind of situation was present in the camp.

'Damn, instead of Heroic, it would be better to call him a pushover.'

If the only thing the people at the shelter did was eat and scream, then things could deteriorate quickly.

Even when a small group gathering, there is always someone who drags the group down and in a group, with at least 20 people the situation would be worse.

But, that was not the end of it.

Although they would have strength in numbers, it would also lead to more chaos.

However, even with all this I still nodded my head.

It was because I was full of questions.

How did you get a class, what is the method to clear the tutorial, how to use magic, how to get a Title?

Alexander knew how to face the dungeon, and more importantly, had information on what we would face in the future.

No matter how you look at it, there were immense benefits in following him.

"I will come"

"Thank you. Oh, this lady is..."

"Ah! I am Lily..."

"Oh. You can call me Alexander."

After greeting each other, I supported Lily and followed behind Alexander.

The One Who Failed.

It was one of his Titles.

Whatever happened in his first life, he must have had many regrets.

I recalled that satisfied look he was giving Lily when he looked at her and could be somewhat sure that Lily was one of his regrets.

If I were in his shoes, I would surely try to get someone with Legendary Magic Potential like Lily on my side in my second life.

I would try my best to gain any possible advantage from the beginning.

I would gather talented people, treasures, classes, and all other things that are important.

I would also try to eliminate any threats or enemies that would come in the future.

'In that case...'

It's funny but since he had no reaction when he saw me, I was probably not important in the future, nor was I a threat to him.

I must have been some unknown character not worth his attention.

I looked at Lily while I thought about it,

The woman was blushing while looking at me.

This woman was different, she is a Legendary Potential Mage or Priest.

If I think about it with what I saw with my Eyes of Truth it becomes pretty obvious.

'She is a treasure.'

Now, she did not look like much.

However, but putting together all the pieces. I could come to a convincing conclusion.

This naive girl will shake the World in the future.

I wasn't sure about my theory, I could be totally wrong.

Maybe Alexander owed her something, I had no way of knowing.

But, it's worth it.

'This woman'

She was no longer a burden. But, a precious treasure that had come rolling

Right under my feet.
