"Please..." the Vampire Noble cried as he repeatedly banged his head on the floor as Xavier positioned his sword over his heart once more. "Just let me die... Please... Please... Please..." He repeatedly pleaded with his body trembling from fear.
Xavier glanced at his energy bar.
[Energy: 79/220]
He then recalled how many times he had killed this noble. He'd lost count but it was definitely over thirty. He seemed to have lost his will.
"Do you really want to die, already?" Xavier asked with a troubled expression.
As he responded "Yes," Arnold's dead beat crimson eyes shone with hope and tears.
Xavier smiled sympathetically at him, giving him hope that he would finally be free of pain. Xavier then turned back to look at his mother and sister's corpses one more time.
"Do you recall how you killed them just a while ago? You know... I was feeling kind of hopeful, that i'd be able to convince you and we'd be able to leave... Yet right before my eyes... You killed them, with a smile."
Arnold's teeth began clattering from fear as Xavier looked down on him with dark cold disgusted eyes.
*Pierce*
The hope in Arnold's eyes broke down and transformed into despair when Xavier thrust the blade's edge into his heart once again.
"AAAAARGH!!!!"
As the life seeped out from Arnold's eyes while he cried out in pain, Xavier continued.
"Rewind..."
[Rewind Level 0: Origin.]
"N-No... Please... Not aga-"
*Pierce*
[Rewind.]

"Do you feel better...?" Sangrea asked as Xavier walked and sat down by the door beside her with his head hung down.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
There was a banging coming from the other side of the door as the Vampires surrounded the building. Even after doing so, they could not enter since every entrance, crack, and exit was covered by a shadow from the outside. It was Sangrea's doing.
"Nope. I don't get any XP from the same person after killing them once."
She tilted her head sideways with a confused expression before lowering her head.
"Sorry... I couldn't save your fami-"
"It's fine... They're not dead." Xavier responded.
'I'll try again and look for my father this time...'
Sangrea's eyes opened wide. When she looked over at their corpses, it was obvious that their hearts had stopped beating.
"Xavi... What are you talking about?"
Xavier raised his head and glanced at her before sighing.
"You wouldn't understand... And you don't need to..."
Xavier then inspected Sangrea's new figure. There was definitely a change in her presence, it was almost like he was speaking to someone else.
The two made eye contact as Sangrea, who didn't understand what he meant, turned to him. Under Xavier's eyes were dark circles.
She knew how much his family meant to him, after all, he always had a bright smile on his face whenever he talked about them.
'Well then... Time to kill myself and start over-'
"Are you going to bring them back with that ability you used...? Just like last time?" Sangrea asked.
Xavier's eyebrows rose in surprise. Initially, he was planning to use [Return.] and go back to his previous checkpoint, but Sangrea's words had caught his attention.
"Last time?" Xavier questioned.
As far as he knew, it was the first time he used [Rewind Level 0: Origin.] Yet somehow Sangrea recognised it?
'This may be something worth learning about before I go.'
"Yeah... Don't you remember...? B-Back when you... Had died...?"
Xavier's eyes had widened at that moment he felt an intense throb in his head.
"Argh..!" He suddenly groaned as he placed his hands on both sides of the head.
His head pulsated in pain as shards of memories started flowing into his mind.
-Broken Memory
Xavier could be seen running around in the snow with a beautiful silver haired and red eyed young girl.
A peaceful memory of two kids having fun.
-Memory Transition
Xavier's motionless figure drenched in blood lay on the cold snowy floor, beneath him the snow was red and across him was a figure covered in dark scribbles that rendered it unrecognisable.
The young girl's body had crashed into the wall behind Xavier. Her body was covered with injuries, most of her bones having been broken or twisted. She could barely breathe.
Unlike her, Xavier did not have a heartbeat. He had died.
Or so it seemed.
*Splatter*
Slowly, the spilt blood that had dyed the snow beneath him began to drain back into his body as his body recoiled back into its original position.
As the figure shrouded by dark scribbles witnessed the sight unfold before him, he flinched. Even Sangrea, whose face was covered in tears, couldn't believe what she was seeing.
-Memory End
Xavier panted heavily, his eyes remained wide as flashes of memory flooded in.
"Xavi... W-What's wrong!?" Sangrea asked nervously as she checked him for injuries left and right. "Do you need blood, is that it!?"
Xavier's pants grew as he moved the blade closer to his neck.
'Thank you... Sangrea... Thanks to you I remembered something... But I have to rewind now... These memories made my consciousness numb... I feel like I'm going to faint...'
"L-Look... On the other side of the room, A vampire made it in..."
Xavier had lied, he had done it to divert her attention away from him.
Sangrea believed it and, thinking he was under a mental attack, quickly turned to look for the vampire.
"W-Where are they? I don't s-"
*Splatter!*
Sangrea's eyes widened as right before her eyes, Xavier decapitated himself
Everything went black.
[Rewind Level 1: Return.]

When Xavier opened his eyes, he was greeted by a guilty Sangrea and a cold and dark room inside.
As he glanced over at the bed to his right, he saw his mother and sister peacefully asleep.
Xavier sighed in relief.
"I'm back... Hold on." He muttered.
With a confused expression on her face, Sangrea tilted her head to the side. Vampires were outside, so they couldn't make a sound. She wanted to question what he meant by it, but she couldn't.
Xavier suddenly began waving his hand in the air while staring at the ceiling. He continued to do this without saying anything.
-
'D-Did I hit him too hard!? Did he go crazy!?'
Xavier's next move, however, surprised her even more.
*Grab* *Unbutton*
He suddenly unbuttoned the collar of her dress before lowering it. As a result of Xavier pulling too hard, it dragged downward and exposed her sweet soft curvy boobs and nipples, which bounced, as well as the seals chains that were wrapped around it.
Sangrea looked down and her face instantaneously became a bright red.
'Eh?'
As Xavier slowly extended his hand towards her chest, her heart beat faster and faster.
'Ehhhh!?!?'
'H-He wants to d-do this right now?'
'D-Doesn't he know that it's a bad timing!? His parents are in the room and we're being hunted!'
'B-But I can't back down now after always teasing him... W-What do I do...?! I don't have any experience with this sort of thing!!'
As Xavier got closer, Sangrea's mind was having an internal conflict.
As he whispered, Xavier stopped right next to her ear, sending pleasant shivers down her spine. "New plan... They already know our moves. No point in hiding, we're breaking out of here."
Sangrea's blush faded immediately as Xavier grabbed the silver skull from her seal rather than fondling her. At that point, She realized she'd been overreacting all along.
'Oh right... This is Xavi we're talking about... He probably isn't interested in those things... That, or he doesn't see me as a woman... Though I'm his wife...' Sangrea thought to herself with a dejected expression as she nodded.
"Also... Sorry... For revealing your special parts like that..." Xavier muttered with a blush as he slowly looked away.
Sangrea froze at his reaction. She took a moment to process it before her eyes grew bright.
'Eh? This reaction...!'
'H-He's blushing...!!!' She thought to herself as her expression filled with joy.
"Oh~ Are we going to act like that wasn't on purpose now? You know~ If you wanted to see, you could have just asked~ I wouldn't mind showing it~"
*Rattle!*
Xavier removed the sea, pulling out the chain and interrupting Sangrea as he did so.
"Oh-"
At that moment, a surge of energy burst out towards him.
