mushoku tensei edit✌️ the darkest future rudeus could ever imagine... an old, broken rudeus travels back in time after losing everyone he ever loved. roxy dies after being infected with the deadly magic crystal disease while carrying their unborn child. crushed by her death, rudeus loses his purpose and becomes consumed by regret. after that, sylphie leaves with ariel and is killed during the asuran kingdom succession war after hitogami manipulates events through luke. eris, who never stopped loving rudeus despite their painful past, eventually reunites with him. she fights alongside him for many years and ultimately sacrifices her life to protect him during the battle against atofe. cliff dies, leaving rudeus without one of his closest friends. nanahoshi fails to return to her original world, falls into despair, and is eventually lost as well. after losing everyone important to him, rudeus spends the rest of his life chasing only one goal — revenge against hitogami. for decades, he studies every form of magic he can find, pushing beyond the limits of human knowledge. he masters gravity magic, restores his lost arm, develops techniques for flight and long-distance communication, and continues searching for a way to reach hitogami. but even after becoming one of the greatest magicians in history, rudeus realizes that all his power is meaningless. he can change the world, but he still cannot reach the person responsible for destroying his life. refusing to give up, rudeus dedicates his final years to researching forbidden magic. after decades of experiments, he finally creates a spell capable of sending himself back into the past. the magic destroys his body in the process, but he accepts that sacrifice for one final chance to save the people he failed to protect. his final words to his younger self: "don't repeat my life."#mushokutensei#rudeus#rudeusgreyrat - @equval.ent
