From a young age, Viktor showed his diligence and eagerness to learn.

He loved reading, especially books about magic.

He devoured almost all the magical books treasured in the mansion, whether they were about magical history or magical mysteries.

This was not decades later, in an era when monks were as common as dogs.

Each magic book is extremely precious, and many mages who own collections of books are unwilling to lend out their valuable magic books.

The reason Victor is able to read so many magic books is entirely due to his father, Tisnato, who 'borrowed' them from house to house, carrying a knife.

Having such a father greatly reduced Viktor's stress.

indeed,

He carried his memories back to the childhood of the character Victor.

But, something very important has disappeared from Viktor.

That's the 'Player Panel'.

He can no longer see his level, his status, or even his skill bar.

Normally, after just a short while of looking at the spellbook, Victor would automatically learn the skills from it in his skill bar.

But now, he can't even see his level, let alone have the magic power to cast spells.

It's hard to imagine that he would need to learn magic again after returning.

Or is it a true relearning of magic?

Victor: "..."

Learning caused him to develop a strong resistance to it from every part of his body as a child.

The good news is that his physical memory is still intact.

Although his current physical condition does not really support him in fighting.

Fortunately, even if magic is unavailable in this playthrough, Victor feels he can still change his class to become a warrior.

Anyway, it's not like he's never played this profession before.

But the purpose of his return this time was to make up for his regrets; he needed to recover as much strength as possible.

Therefore, the study of magic should not be neglected.

Although the absence of a player panel might prevent him from getting whatever he wants with a simple clap of his hands as easily as before,

At the very least, he needs to be raised to the level of a normal mage.

Fortunately, although he didn't understand the principles of how magic worked, he had heard Vega talk about it before, and he himself used magic a lot anyway.

Learning magic is relatively easy.

“Vega… ah.”

The name flashed through his mind, and Viktor was momentarily dazed before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

The Exiled Epicurus

He had never used the effects of world-class items.

Just looking at the description of this world-class item, it claims to be able to alter cause and effect within a specific timeframe, and coupled with its hourglass-like shape...

This made Viktor subconsciously associate the prop with time.

Perhaps by using it, he could avoid what was supposed to happen, thus changing the original outcome.

What surprised Viktor the most was that after using the item, he did not return to the original timeline.

Instead, it went straight back to Viktor's childhood and allowed viewers to experience a part of Viktor's childhood.

So, if you want to make up for your regrets with world-class props, you still have to do it yourself?

Not only that, the player's inventory also disappeared, as if they were experiencing a memory of the original Viktor.

"Could it be that only by making up for all the regrets in my heart can I return to the original timeline?"

Will the original timeline change as these regrets are remedied?

In that case, Victor thought, he had to be more cautious.

This time, he planned much more far ahead than before, considering from the very beginning how to dismantle Ragnarok.

First and foremost, the urgent task is to rely on Helnason, the bear-man, to help rescue more demi-humans and lay the foundation for Vega's faith.

Although Vega is unlikely to appear at this time, it's always good to be prepared in advance.

And Gwen.

From Angus's memories and the Archmage's teachings, Victor already knew this.

Gwen was possessed by the goddess of justice because she was stillborn and was later resurrected by believers using real scales.

This time, Victor was determined not to let the believers portray Gwen as the embodiment of the goddess of justice again.

At the same time, he also needs to begin preparing in advance to collect the six sources of calamity.

Only by mastering these six sources of calamity can he roam the world without fear.

Fortunately, he had a basic understanding of the location of the calamity.

After eliminating those calamities, he planned to establish contact with the Elf race through the Elf Leon, and ideally, to contact Kokot directly.

Although Leon has not yet joined the Clavner family, according to the timeline, Leah will be born soon.

As a child, Lia will begin to care about the plight of demi-humans and take action to rescue them from slavery.

At that time, Leon will also join the Clavner family.

Therefore, the general layout is ready.

However, all actions will ultimately have to wait until after Lia is born.

Therefore, in the time leading up to Lia's birth, Victor needs to increase his strength as much as possible.

Victor squinted, toying with a magic book in his hand, intently reading the dense and obscure text on the pages.

Then, he stretched out a chubby little hand.

Whoosh—

First-tier magic - Spark

A flame, only slightly larger than a candle flame, danced in Victor's palm, gently illuminating the words on the pages.

Viktor calmly observed the sparks in his hand, the color of the flames reflected in his deep obsidian eyes, and chuckled softly.
