Dimensional Leap

Originally, changing the past requires a huge amount of causality.
A low-rank Constellation couldn’t do it, a mid-rank Constellation would have to sacrifice three to change the past, a high-rank would have to be prepared to be annihilated alone, and a top-tier would have to be prepared to have their rank drop to a low-rank.
That’s why no one tries to change the past or recklessly attempt a regression.
Because no one wants to die.
‘But that’s a story for when there’s a close relationship with that being.’
The world where Daisy was was destroyed.
The only survivor was Daisy, and the monsters couldn’t come to Earth.
The problem was that this world was the past and inside the Nebula’s stomach.
But it was a relief for that very reason.
‘The connection with all worlds has been severed.’
A perfect severance meant that the consumption of causality could be greatly reduced.
So much so that it was possible with just one soul fragment of a Constellation.
‘And I need help with time.’
There was a way to solve that too.
I held the fragment of the ‘Returning Hourglass’ that I had obtained once.
I accurately recognized this past, and all the conditions were met.
One person, could alter the past.
Looking at the gear and soul in my hand, the Nebula said with a look of disappointment.

“You’re luckier than I thought.”
“What a pity.”
The sky had not yet closed.

[Hint: Do what you want to do!]
It was time to get Daisy out of the Nebula’s stomach.

Daisy tried.
Very much.
But the world is full of things that cannot be achieved with effort.
The only one who survived the camp was Daisy.
“I should have killed that bastard.”
Stanching the bleeding from her bitten shoulder, Daisy barely walked.
A ruined city and a collapsed white tower were visible.
The city she had arrived at alone, White, was once said to be the most prosperous of the Magic Tower cities, but now, with monsters occasionally roaming around, it exuded a gloomy aura.
Daisy moved calmly and succeeded in entering the collapsed White Magic Tower.
Inside, as expected, was full of monsters.
Fortunately, there was nothing inside.
Perhaps because there were no people, the monsters hadn’t come in either.
Daisy jumped up the broken stairs using what little mana she had left.
Because Seonibaek Lin had a rather conservative side and always built the Magic Tower Head’s room on the top floor.
Creeeak…
The wooden door opened with the sound of a rusty hinge.
The Magic Tower Head’s room was usually large and splendid, with many magic tools, but Seonibaek Lin was very frugal.
There were no luxuries, only furniture made of ordinary wood.
‘Of course, she was a great magician who didn’t even need magic tools…’
Daisy was a little flustered, not knowing there would be this little.
But she soon put aside her impressions and approached the bookshelf in a corner of the room.
Seonibaek Lin liked to keep a diary.
She also liked to write research journals.
She also liked to leave calculation formulas.
Sometimes, she would mischievously write magic formulas as ‘omitted due to lack of paper’ and throw them at the academic world, giving many magicians a difficult problem.
Since there were no monsters chasing her, Daisy read through Seonibaek Lin’s handwritten notes that filled the bookshelf one by one.
The amount was so large that she had to stop reading to stanch the bleeding from her shoulder and then read again.
It was a long time, enough for her mana to fully recover.
As a result.
She found the dimensional jump magic, but she did not survive due to mana exhaustion.
Daisy found the dimensional jump magic.

Dimensional jump magic is a crazy thing that eats up mana.
If I try it once or twice a year, my chance to jump ends.
There’s no one in this world with more mana than me, and still!
It’s a crazy thing.
But I can’t help it.
I might have to go home someday, so I have to find the coordinates of my home first.

I don’t know where Seonibaek Lin’s ‘home’ that she sometimes talked about was, but.

Coordinate A, 48261.483-2891… No.
It was full of collapsed ruined buildings, and there was a handsome man, but my world was a neat concrete society.
Not a world where people fly around, shoot fire from their hands, and monsters run rampant.
B is not it either.
This is a jungle of animals.
C was covered in glaciers.
There was no sign of life.
The same goes for D.
And E.
Ah, I can’t find it.
Only coordinate A was written.
She probably didn’t want to bother writing it down.
Since all the coordinates were in her head, she might have felt that it was a waste of time to write them down in a notebook.
But now, that one coordinate was a godsend.
‘There’s life, and magic? There are people too.’
It was an environment where people could live.
It would take some getting used to, but there was no other choice.
Even if she were to calculate more dimensional coordinates here, there was no guarantee that she would go to a place where life could exist.
The one coordinate that Seonibaek Lin left was the best.
Fortunately, Seonibaek Lin had drawn the dimensional jump magic circle so well that it was easy to follow… not.
‘Crazy. What kind of formula is this.’
It said that the magic circle had to be layered, so she read the other notebook where the shape of the magic circle to be layered was written, but there was no end to it.
Three whole notebooks were the magic circles needed for layering.
‘Can I… do this?’
Me?
A human?
This was a monster’s magic formula.
Hope faded from her trembling vermilion eyes.
She chose death.
It was then that hope faded from her trembling vermilion eyes.
A single phrase written on the last page of the last notebook caught Daisy’s eye.

Since it’s annoying to draw it all, there’s a magic scroll in the drawer under the bookshelf.
It was a godsend.
Immediately, Daisy took out a thick magic scroll from under the bookshelf.
All those many magic circles were layered and magically processed to become a thick scroll.
“Seonibaek Lin is a god.”
Yes, if she could create a magic scroll of this level, she was a god.
She was a person that all magicians should worship.
To think that they would kill such a person, her teeth gritted at the emperor, but it was too late.
Daisy had to live.
The scroll was ready, so all that was left was the caster’s mana.
‘Can I… do it?’
Seonibaek Lin’s mana was higher than any magician in history.
Even when compared to herself, the head of the Yellow Magic Tower, her mana was several times different.
Her formula calculation ability must have been dozens of times different.
This was a battle between an ant and an elephant.
Daisy gave up.
But she couldn’t give up.
She was the last survivor in this world.
She had a duty to spread magic to other worlds, and most of all, she wanted to die.
She wanted to live.
“Let’s do it.”
What’s the worst that could happen, other than dying.
The hand that had held a pen for a lifetime tore the thick scroll.
Chwaaaak, woong…
The first magic circle appeared on the floor.
At that instant, Daisy vomited blood and died.
When the tenth magic circle appeared, blood seeped through her clenched teeth.
Only the tenth.
‘It’s impossible.’
It was still a long way before the magic circles from the three notebooks would appear.
This was like a loading that occurred because Daisy’s mana was lower than the mana specified in the formula.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
At the wave of a powerful mana, the sound of a monster’s cry and footsteps climbing the stairs was heard from below.
‘A little faster.’
Daisy died.
‘A little more!’
Daisy died.
‘Just a little more!’
Daisy died.
Just then.
A snow-white hand grabbed Daisy’s hand from behind.
“Huh.”
He knew this familiar, small hand.
“Seonibaek…”

[Focus.]
Pararararak!
A huge amount of mana flowed in.
It was a purity and amount of mana that was incomparable to Daisy’s.
The magic circle began to appear in an instant.
The thirtieth, the one hundred and eighty-first, the two hundred and second…
Up to the thousandth.

[It’s been a while, but it’s still hard.]
“Seonibaek, you were dead…”

[I’m dead, and this is a soul fragment.]
“What on earth does that mean?”
A soul fragment is having an effect.
Daisy was confused, saying that even a god couldn’t do that.
There was no time for a long explanation.
Even now, monsters were climbing from below.
A clock hand appeared above the last magic circle.
The gear that was in my hand disappeared.
A fragment of a Constellation was consumed for a single human.
Tick-tock.
The gear turned.

[The jump will succeed.]
“Wait a minute, Seonibaek…!”

[See you later.]
If she survives, there will be something that reaches her.
A dazzling light filled the room.

A dark cave.
A man who looked as if he had been crafted from the sun was lying in a coffin with his eyes closed.
His eyes had not opened for a long time, but his breathing was steady, as if to announce that he was alive.
A golden system window sparkled before his eyes.

[The Constellation, the Silent Calamity, proposes a contract.]
[Will you make a contract?]
