After time was rewound by two hours.

[Humanity 'liberated' from 'colony' status]

[Horrific scenes of mass slaughter captured on survivors' phones]

[Why was time reversed? Fortunately, elves did not return]

[People reporting PTSD from memories of dying]

News articles began pouring in immediately.

-Whoa, I came back from the dead.

-I really died and came back to life...

-Praising the elves was the dumbest thing I've ever done.

-When the elves bombed from the sky, a whole city disappeared in an instant.

-It happened so fast I barely remember how I died.

-You're lucky... I burned to death and the memory is still vivid...

-But who turned back time?

-Who knows...?

Comments exploded on articles related to this mass slaughter.

Those with memories of dying hated the elves,

And wondered who had reversed time.

And then.

-Ah... I get PTSD just seeing female half-elves now...

-When I came back to the street earlier, people were screaming and running away as soon as they saw female half-elves;

-Male half-elves look awkwardly similar to Seong Jihan. lol

-For real, after seeing the fakes, seeing the real one is a treat for the eyes haha.

-But he seems to have become colder... It's been a while and he just said that and ended it.

-Hey... Isn't it fortunate enough that he didn't curse us out?

-For real lol, honestly he's being polite considering he could say "Stop holding me back, you bastards"

There was also discussion about the legacy the elves left for humanity,

Male and female half-elves.

Female half-elves who looked identical to elves were met with fear and disgust,

But male half-elves, perhaps because they resembled Seong Jihan, received relatively less of that treatment.

-But turning back time... Wasn't it Seong Jihan who did it?

-To be honest, there's no one else who could do something like this.

-Come to think of it, the World Tree pattern visible on the moon has disappeared too.

-Oh... Does that mean Yggdrasil is dead too?

As Seong Jihan was gradually being mentioned.

When it came to who could perform such a large-scale miracle of rewinding time for the entire world,

No matter how much they thought about it, there was no one else.

As soon as he revealed himself,

With humanity being liberated from colony status and the World Tree pattern on the moon disappearing,

People thought it must indeed be Seong Jihan.

-I supported the record erasure type... But he still came forward to clean things up...

-I was drunk during the colony era and urinated on a rock by the road... It turned out to be Seong Jihan's statue.

-You idiot, clean it thoroughly quickly ㅡㅡ

-I'm already scrubbing it hard...

-I always wondered why that big rock was in Gwanghwamun... It was Seong Jihan's statue

-Has he... not said anything directly yet?

However, since nothing had been confirmed yet,

People were just waiting for news from Seong Jihan's side.

-Oh. A video has been uploaded on the Daegi Guild's official channel!

-Oh really?

-Let's go

The video of Seong Jihan that people had been waiting for appeared on BattleTube.

* * *

The BattleTube video uploaded by Lee Hayeon.

It showed the giant golden wheel that had turned blue after several failures,

And scenes of collapsed buildings and corpses strewn on the ground rising up.

-Ah... It really was Seong Jihan...

-The people standing up as the golden wheel turned... That's how I came back to life. too

-I supported the record erasure type, now I feel even more sorry...

-We shouldn't have stayed on BattleNet in the first place; We should have withdrawn like Seong Jihan said...

-If you said that back then, you'd have been treated like a crazy person because your lifespan was halved.

Feeling grateful to Seong Jihan for owing their lives to him, people regretted their past choices.

They should have left BattleNet when they could escape the Bronze League,

But blinded by BattleNet's benefits, look at what happened.

Meanwhile, the video went on to show Seong Jihan returning two male half-elves to human form.

And then.

"Each country should immediately gather the male half-elves. Tomorrow, I will visit countries that are ready, starting with those that are prepared."

The video ended with Seong Jihan's announcement.

-Wow... So male half-elves can become human again?

-This doesn't apply to female half-elves, right?

-Yeah, seems that way

As people showed various reactions to the video uploaded by the Daegi Guild, and the view count was exploding in real-time.

"M-Master. The Prime Minister of Australia has called."

"Um. The Japanese Prime Minister's office also said they'll prepare right away, and they have something to say to the Guild Master..."

At the Daegi Guild's office, work was paralyzed as leaders from various countries urgently contacted them.

"...I expected this, but the reaction is faster than I thought."

"They all agreed to the record erasure type. They probably want to improve their image with the Boss now."

"Ah. I guess so."

The leaders of each country who had led the approval of the record erasure type while suppressing the Daegi Guild.

Now that the powerful World Tree alliance had been defeated,

And Seong Jihan had performed the miracle of reviving humanity, it was no wonder they were anxious.

"Um. We've also received contact from the Lee Seong Group..."

"Cut off everyone except national leaders. Say we're busy now."

"Ah. Yes."

"Especially ignore Lee Seong from now on too."

During the colony era, the Daegi Guild's situation had become difficult, so they had no choice but to be mindful of the main family group.

But now the situation had changed 180 degrees.

Lee Hayeon, while organizing the list of known male half-elves,

Told the guild employees,

"Ah. And tell appropriate countries that we'll only take their calls if they've gathered all the male half-elves. Why do they keep calling, it's annoying."

"Um... What level of country is considered appropriate?"

"Hmm... Japan level?"

"...There aren't many countries above Japan's level, are there?"

"Right. The standard is ambiguous... Okay. Cut everyone except the US and China."

Ignore all calls except from the US and China?

Was that really okay?

The guild employee looked at Lee Hayeon with an uneasy expression, but.

"The Boss has returned, what can they do? We just need to do well what the Boss instructed. Gathering male half-elves is the top priority, so notify them of that."

"Ah... Understood."

She decided on this response policy.

At first, the guild office employees thought this might be too harsh, but.

"Ugh... I cut off the British Prime Minister's office. Can we handle the aftermath...?"

"But everyone accepted it without resistance? They even apologized for not being prepared in advance and said they'd recruit quickly."

"Of course. Now that the Boss has returned, we're the leaders now."

"Indeed, the Boss... He's someone who can even reverse time for the whole world."

"Everyone led the approval of the record erasure type under state guidance before. They should be the ones being careful."

As national leaders apologized and said they'd prepare, they clearly understood who was alpha and who was beta.

[PR/: Mb guys I also cringed.]

As the employees were responding more confidently,

Brrrr...

Lee Hayeon frowned at the name that appeared on her phone.

She had said to cut everyone except the US and China, but...

'The US President is calling.'

She guessed she would have to take this one herself.

Beep.

As Lee Hayeon connected the call,

[Guild Master. Congratulations. He has returned!]

The US President exclaimed, offering congratulations to her.

He wasn't usually this high-pitched.

Lee Hayeon raised one corner of her mouth as she replied to him.

"Thank you, Mr. President. You seem much brighter than before."

[Haha...! The situation was so bad when he wasn't here. But now that humanity's savior has arrived, how can I not be in a good mood!]

"Savior... It's quite refreshing to hear that from someone who led the approval of the record erasure type."

The US President who had led public opinion in favor of Seong Jihan's record erasure type,

And suppressed Lee Hayeon and the Daegi Guild side with his power.

Because the early days of colonial rule were peaceful, the president who had led humanity's incorporation into the World Tree alliance colony could be re-elected with high approval ratings.

When Lee Hayeon pointed this out,

He cleared his throat.

[Ahem, ahem. Regarding that matter... I have nothing to say. However... leading the approval of the record erasure type was entirely my unilateral decision. I made the decision thinking it was better than everyone dying... The responsibility for that lies entirely with me.]

Lee Hayeon smirked upon hearing this.

As expected of the president, trying to take responsibility alone.

She replied calmly to the president who was speaking rather solemnly.

"The Boss will make the judgment on that matter. For now, just focus on gathering the male half-elves."

[Yes. We have already gathered all the male half-elves. You can come and work on them anytime.]

"Ah... Already?"

[Yes. 6,515 male half-elves are gathered at the Half-Elf Center in New York.]

She had heard that the US had recruited the most male half-elves, but still, over 1/4 of the total 20,000 or so were gathered there.

"I understand. I'll report this immediately. Thank you for the US's cooperation."

As Lee Hayeon was about to hang up after saying this,

[Um, that... Is it possible that he won't purify the female half-elves?]

The US President hurriedly asked Lee Hayeon.

'Come to think of it, his daughter was a half-elf.'

The female half-elf who always appeared in the US President's family photos.

She used to receive applause for giving speeches about the greatness of the cosmic tree, saying this blessing was bestowed because of their sincere loyalty to the World Tree alliance.

After using that quite profitably back then, now that female half-elves were likely to be hated by people,

Was he asking us for a favor?

"...I'll mention it to him."

[Ah...! Thank you! Guild Master!]

"Well, I need to report this, so I'll be going now."

Click.

Lee Hayeon hung up and sighed.

"Really no shame, leading the record erasure type and now this... After using his daughter to maintain approval ratings all this time."

As she was grumbling like this,

Swish.

Seong Jihan appeared behind her.

"Daughter? What does this have to do with a daughter?"

"Ah. B-Boss... You're here?"

"Yes. I was curious how many countries were ready."

"The US says they're ready. Probably... when they were gathering Blue in the Hall of Swords. It seems they gathered the male half-elves at the Half-Elf Center."

"That's good news."

"And about the daughter... Um, the US President's daughter is a female half-elf."

"Ah."

During the colonial era, they would have tried to connect with elves in any way possible.

Having a daughter who was a female half-elf must have been a useful card for the president.

"So he's asking for the female half-elves to be looked at too?"

"Yes. It's a bit much coming from someone who led public opinion in favor of the record erasure type..."

Seong Jihan smiled slightly.

The past record erasure type issue was trivial compared to the current Urd situation.

Moreover,

'There might be something to salvage from the female half-elves too.'

The two legacies left on Earth by the World Tree alliance.

It was worth checking out.

"Well, let's take a look at the female half-elves too. For now."

"Ah... You'll look at them?"

"Yes. Tell them to gather them. But don't expect too much."

Lee Hayeon nodded at Seong Jihan's words and contacted the US side again.

And, a few hours later.

Seong Jihan, who had moved to the Half-Elf Center through a portal,

'...Why are there so many?'

He chuckled as he saw the female half-elves filling the huge center building to capacity and even lining up outside.
