The first rewind

I was frozen and couldn't move as time rewinded. Now I still can't see anything around me but feeling my body move in reverse felt a little weird to be honest. I felt the injuries I had disappear and the pain fade away. Then I felt myself stop rewinding and control of my body returned to me.

I heard the sound of a gate opening and I heard a creature growl for a couple seconds before going silent. I waited a couple seconds, counting the time before the creature would strike first. Then I suddenly turned around and swung. My sword hit something and I heard a shriek however I didn't stop there. I continued my assault and swung a second time.

The sword found its mark again and another shriek rang out. Whatever it was tried to run away but I wouldn't let it. I thrusted forward with my sword and felt my sword stab into it once more. I heard one last shriek before it slumped to the floor and whatever it was stopped breathing.

Suddenly my surroundings changed and I found myself back in the room I was in originally.

"Interesting" A voice said.

I turned around and standing there was Headon.

"Heh, you are strong enough to begin the climb. As I thought you are a little special, but I will give you what you want."

He waved his hand and a orb of darkness appeared around me. I started feeling lightheaded and I felt my consciousness fade.

"The next floor of the tower is waiting for you. Are you ready for it?" He said.

My consciousness faded and that was the last thing I heard.

*Headon POV*

I thought about the child. He really was hiding something special. During the test it was almost like he knew where the attack was coming from. He was human so I have my doubts on him having night vision. It didn't seem like he could see anything. The creature he fought usually show up in dark places after the 20th floor and are sometimes pretty troublesome for regulars to deal with.

It seems things are really getting interesting. Suddenly the door to the tower opened.

Impossible, it's not supposed to open so soon. Unless… It seems things are about to get really interesting. A young boy with short black hair appeared in the room.

It seems an irregular has appeared in the tower.

*Meanwhile, 15 years ago, Narrator POV*

15 years ago the inner tower experienced quite the shake. Several power weapons suddenly crashed down on different floors throughout the tower. It is said there are 12 in total but only 6 have been found so far.

Jahad sent an order that all the weapons be found and handed to him. He wanted such powerful weapons under his control. 4 of the current relics are under Jahad's control and he had handed 4 of them out to subordinates but kept one for himself to study it. One of the other two was in Fug's hands and they used it to fight back against Jahad even harder.

The last one was a sword and fell into the hands of the Arie family. There was a frantic search for the rest of the relics but after a few years none of the remaining ones were found. The search continued for another year before dwindling as people gave up and decided to spend time on other things.

The relics themselves were extremely powerful. They made the 13 month series look weak in comparison. The power you received from a relic depended on which relic you were using. These relics could pretty much be used by anyone but the stronger you were the more you could draw out the weapon's power. No one had gotten the weapons to ignite yet and most people thought that they were simply not ignition weapons. However even without ignition the weapons were powerful.

Our MC had no idea these relics existed and he was going to have to discover it fast.

*Byleth POV*

I woke up in a open field with the occasional rock outcropping. I stood up and looked around. I saw several other people getting up and looking around as well. A lot of them looked confused. Wait, is this the same field that Bamm is in? Wow, I actually didn't expect that.

Then I heard a voice speak out to the whole field.

"Hey Regulars! I don't like beating around the bush so I'm going to make this simple. Survive for 30 minutes and you pass. Understand? Alright have fun."

A couple seconds passed as people took what they heard in. Then the fighting started.
