Plot of Absolute Regression

The Unrivaled Swordsman was once a rising star in the martial world. His swordsmanship was unmatched, and his future seemed destined for greatness. However, betrayal struck from within his inner circle. His family and friends were slaughtered, and he was left broken and defeated.
In the depths of despair, the Swordsman turned to the forbidden “Great Regression Technique.” This powerful and dangerous spell allowed him to regress to the past with all the knowledge and strength of his previous life intact. Now armed with future knowledge and unparalleled sword skills, he seeks to reshape his fate.
His mission is clear — prevent the betrayals that led to his downfall and eliminate the enemy responsible for his suffering. However, his new path is not without complications. Former allies now see him differently, and new enemies rise to challenge him. The Swordsman must carefully navigate alliances and rivalries while concealing the truth of his regression.
Fueled by a mix of vengeance and redemption, the Swordsman begins his new life. The fate of his loved ones — and the balance of power in the martial world — hangs in the balance as he strikes out to rewrite history.
