I was born into a family of luxury and power.
The moment I was born, I was treated like a king. However, all that power was stripped away due to my brother's schemes.
Due to that, I was forced to leave the family and live like a beggar.
That was before the world had changed.
However, I was able to amass a great power, which I thought could help me live a better life and go back to my family. But that was not the case.
My entire family was slaughtered like animals. Other than me, there wasn't a single survivor. This meant I needed to hide my identity so that I could live.
Thus, I wasted my years hiding like a rat until he found me. The one who slaughtered my family.
I tried to fight him, kill him…but in the end I couldn't even scratch him.
It was then that I discovered what true strength was. And I wanted that power.
A power that could make the entire world bend to my will.
That, however, was impossible for me to obtain. After I fought him, most of my power was gone, and there was no way for me to obtain that power.
But I didn't give up. I researched every possibility about my bloodline, the world, and the rules.
It paid off, and I was able to gain immense power, but not the power I wished for. Thus, I was stuck as an old librarian.
But then I heard rumours. Rumours of an artifact that was discovered from the otherworld. The artifact was said to send the user back in time, but only for one second.
Thus, it was labeled as trash.
But I knew. I knew how truly valuable that thing was. And it was the key that would help regain all of my power.

*BANG*
A loud bang was heard. The soldiers banged on the doors of the palace library.
Thanks to the improvements I had made the doors were virtually impossible to break. Thus, I would be able to do what I was doing.
"Aaron, open the doors! Even if you are the sworn brother of the third prince, it will not save you from the consequences!"
Ignoring them, I focused on making the circle. After drawing the last rune I grabbed the knife next to me.
This was a S-rank artifact named "Blood Sucker"
What made it an S-rank was that it was able to make the opponent bleed almost forever, but not just any blood, but the bloodline of the user.
Slicing my hand open, I felt the power in my body drain as the blood poured out of my body. As soon as the blood touched the circle, it started to glow a crimson red. Suddenly, the book in the centre started to flip. Soon, the book was enveloped by a red vortex.
Seeing that I quickly activated the powers of my remaining bloodline, 2 jet black horns grew on top of my forehead.
A wave of energy crashed over the room. Many books were forced off the shelves, causing a mess.
"Aaron, what the hell are you doing!?"
Hearing the familiar voice, I turned my head slightly to look at the door. Memories filled my head, causing me to smile.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm just fulfilling my promise."
"What are you talking about?"
The energy waves started to pulse more heavily with greater force. The smile on my face grew wider as I stepped closer. The library was now a mess, with the bookshelves broken along with the rest of the books on the floor.
"Aaron!"
*BANG*
*BANG*
Ignoring the banging, I pulled out 4 purple talismans.
"If my calculations are correct, then this should work," I muttered
Letting go of them, I watched as they started to fly in a circle. They started to fly faster before a purple ring was formed.
Grinning, I watched as the purple circle was absorbed by the crimson vertex. Suddenly, everything turned silent before a giant burst of energy shot outward.

This caused Aaron to be shot backward and lie on the floor. The blood from his hand covered his body. The black horns on his head started to fade before they completely disappeared. The next second, the doors were slammed open as a small army entered the library.
Looking around, a handsome man with silver hair looked around and immediately looked at Aaron. It was obvious that he was turned into a corpse.
However, despite that, the face of Aaorn's corpse was smiling.
"Aaron…just what did you do?"

[On a large arcaplego]
On the many islands, there were large mansions that hosted a lot of people. Inside one of the large mansions, there was a big bedroom that had a teenage boy lying on a large king-sized bed.
The room was decorated with many things like a TV, a bookshelf, a desk, and a computer. On one of the walls, there was a poster of a popular black haired crimson-eyed actress in a bikini winking.
The boy on the bed started to groggily get up while holding his head, that was pounding.
"Ugh, what happened? Did I drink too much?"
However, memories of what happened flooded his mind, causing him to quickly scramble off his bed and look at his hands. They were smooth with no wrinkles in sight. Feeling his face, he then saw a lock of blonde hair out of the corner of his eye, not the usual grey.
Seeing that I started to giggle before that turned into a laugh.
"Hahaha it worked!"
I had done it! I had successfully returned to the past! To where I would be able to change my fate!
I was no longer Aaron, a scholar.
Now I was Aaron Van Bismark, one of the heirs of one of the most powerful families.
And now I can reclaim what was mine!
