Turn The Clock ~|~ Tensura Fanfiction ~|~ (NOT MINE)

Chapter 1:

_________________________________________________________

Dying at only 37 and resurrecting in another world. That's how it was supposed to be. Fighting and winning, beating the grand evil and living in peace...

Just like in a Fairy Tale.

However, there's a price for everything. Casualties were common in war but he had hoped, oh he had hoped...

So many were gone, left him forever. With no souls or bodies left even he could not save them from death.

And it hurt.

He wanted to scream yet no voice resounded. This feeling... it scared him, terrified him. It was worse than the loneliness at the End of Time and Space. Even Ciel could not comfort him. He returned only to find his friends dead.

Somewhere, close behind yet so far away he could swear he heard Diablo. Guy was saying something, too, but their words never reached him.

Ah, had things been different... could he have prevented this? Could they still be alive?

'Ciel, can I use [Time Warp] again?'

-It is possible.-

He stood silent for a moment longer. Was it worth it? Could he do this to all that came out alive? Was it fair to them?

He couldn't guarantee that they'd live the next time. Unless...

„Ciel..." He inhaled sharply, unnaturally calm „We'll use [Time Warp]."

As soon as I thought so, the ground seemed to disappear beneath my feet.

„Rimuru-sama!"

It was oddly serene, he noticed upon waking up. No breeze was brushing against his face and no sound reached his ears. He struggled to open his eyes. It's not that he didn't want to but he was afraid that he'd see-

That what he would see would not be the past. It took him a minute of internal struggle until they were finally open.

It was dark, nearly pitch black but the occasional rays of light illuminated the cave he was in. He had done it, he was back at the beginning. He wouldn't run into his past self or anything, right...?

-That is not possible. Master's existence replaced that of his past self.-

Ah, it was Ciel. Good to know she was still here as well and not back to being the Great Sage.

'Great to know. Thanks!' He hummed 'If the Warp was perfect we would be back to before we met Veldora, correct?'

-Of course. There is no way Master would miss the timing, especially with me keeping an eye out for possible errors. Not that there were any.-

He laughed brightly and started walking. He suddenly stopped and shrugged, turning back into a slime and bouncing forward while hoping he was venturing in the correct direction. Even if he wasn't, he would find the way. Besides, free medicine and ores for the taking!

His reserves were large but you never knew when you might need more. And it's not like it mattered, he just did what his past self did even if not as much.

Finding Veldora was his top priority right now. Speaking of the dragon... he now recognized the area he was in and started bouncing towards his desired location.

The last time he saw Veldora... Well, to be fair, to him it was barely half an hour ago. And Veldora didn't meet him yet...

This was going to be awkward.
