Regression of the Genius Extra Novel

Dainsleif never intended to cross worlds, yet fate had other plans. Summoned to Imarion alongside his classmates to fortify humanity's defense against the invading Underworld, he discovers his new existence is less salvation than sentence. The magical realm others marvel at becomes a prison for someone who yearned for peace. His aspirations for a quiet life shatter under the weight of responsibility and danger.

Betrayal forces the ultimate sacrifice. Compelled to end his own existence by those closest to him, Dainsleif descends into the Eternal Void. But salvation awaits through an ancient artifact—a precious discovery from years past—that activates within the darkness. This mysterious object grants him an unprecedented second chance, transporting him back to his first moment in Imarion with far more than temporal restoration in tow.

The artifact crowns him successor to a forgotten race, infusing his bloodline with divine power that transcends even the gods dwelling in this world. Yet victory tastes bitter when truth emerges: those who destroyed him loved him with sincerity all along. Their affection cannot erase their sins. Desperate for redemption, they find themselves locked out entirely—Dainsleif refuses every overture, every plea for forgiveness.

Intent on reclaiming his life, he pursues happiness and solitude in distant lands, far removed from those who once called him close. Can Dainsleif finally achieve the peace and freedom he has always sought? Or will the cycle of betrayal and misunderstanding bind him eternally?
