“You nearly killed me in the past timeline and destroyed my life. Now that I have been given the chance to return to the past timeline, I will be changing everything and fight the future that was meant to be a dead end. Once we meet again, it will never be the same!”

When the only Virtual Reality game called Alternate World made the players gain abilities, the world changed drastically. The whole world undergoes a change of lifestyle, people started to manifest abilities, and playing the game became a job.

Manato Tsukasa, a player who is also one of the players of Alternate World was targeted by his enemies during the evening before his wedding and was almost killed in the process. Due to a certain encounter, he was allowed to gain a second chance to go back to the past and change everything.

With the chance to change everything and start from scratch, he decided to take advantage of all his knowledge and so that he can prepare to kill the person who ruined his life. And to start his vengeance against his enemy, he played the game again that didn't only change the gaming industry but also the whole world.

Bai Yang is the youngest son of a rich family, he grew up spoiled and unambitious, and no one expects anything from him. He doesn’t really mind this though, because he’s still able to live a simple and happy life.

One day, however, his older brother got into an accident and is now comatose. Bai Yang’s father now has to consider his youngest son to take over the family business. Unfortunately, for him, Bai Yang is a weak, timid, and cowardly child. How can he ever succeed?!

Wanting to change his son’s personality, his father has Bai Yang transmigrated into the world of Wild Wind, a very famous fantasy novel. Bai Yang’s father hopes the environment of that world will shape his son into a more arrogant and domineering man, as a child of a wealthy family ought to be.

Bai Yang said with an attitude of selfless dedication, “Your Majesty, I just want to go to the human world to further your great cause!” (Actually, I went there to see the protagonist.)

The Demon King’s face remained impassive but, in fact, the tips of his ears were red. He was thinking: I can’t believe he loves me so deeply…

Demon King said, “Humph! Seeing how clingy you are, I’ll accept your love. Tell me! Whatever you need, I’ll give it to you!”

Bai Yang: “What the hell…! Your Majesty, I don’t love you.”

Demon King said, “No, you love me.”
