The Regressed Swordmaster Returns (Book1)

The war was already lost. Arthur Drake was humanity’s strongest swordmaster—one of the last survivors of a three-year war that reduced kingdoms to ash and turned the world into a graveyard. When the final enemy descended, something beyond even the monsters they had fought, Arthur knew the truth: There was never a chance to win. But in humanity’s final moments, a forbidden power was unleashed… and Arthur was sent back. Years into the past, before the first breach, before the first death, before the world began to collapse—he awakens in his younger body, carrying the weight of a future that no longer exists. This time, he has what no one else does. Knowledge. He knows the battles that will be lost. The commanders who will fail. The warriors who will die too soon. And the mistakes that doomed them all. Entering the prestigious Leon Academy, Arthur must walk a dangerous path—hiding the true extent of his power while preparing for a war only he remembers. But changing fate is not without cost. Every action threatens to reshape the timeline in unpredictable ways. Because the enemy that destroyed the world once… still exists. And it is coming. The Regressed Swordmaster Returns is a dark fantasy LitRPG progression series featuring a battle-hardened protagonist, strategic worldbuilding, and a relentless fight against inevitable destruction.
