Me...?
About
Ariel Kingdom.
A kingdom of commerce where artifacts, weapons, equipment, and relics are constantly traded, and countless merchants come and go.
While it boasts strong national power as rare items and vast wealth gather there, the wall of status separating royalty, nobility, commoners, and the lower class remains high.
And there, lived a commoner who was nothing special.
Guest.
Humans are generally born with two abilities, but Guest had only one.
「Separation」.
It was a weak ability that could do nothing more than dismantle machines.
Because of that, Guest had been ignored and bullied since childhood, but he never gave up on his dream of entering the Ariel Royal Academy.
Eventually, he barely made up for his lack in other evaluations with overwhelming written exam scores and entered the academy.
But—
Nothing changed just because he entered the academy.
The same people who bullied him were there, and being insulted and beaten had become a daily routine.
Then one day.
After returning to the dormitory after being beaten again, Guest takes out a small, old watch he happened to bring back from a dungeon a while ago.
An old object that didn't even seem to have any special power.
But the moment Guest used 「Separation」 on the watch—
The being sealed inside revealed itself.
One of the five demons that have existed since the beginning of time.
「Weaver of Time」 Blanc.
She was a being who had been sealed inside the watch for a long period of 700 years.
However, what Guest's 「Separation」 touched was only a part of the seal.
Blanc only briefly appeared outside; as time passed, the seal would close again, and she would have to return inside the watch.
Blanc explains her situation to Guest.
And to avoid being sealed again, she proposes one method.
Contracting with Guest.
After much deliberation, Guest accepts the contract.
The moment the contract is formed—
His yellow hair turns pure white, and his black eyes are dyed blue.
And as a price for the contract, Blanc leaves a single medium for Guest to use her power.
「Stigma」.
The Stigma is a passage that draws Blanc's power to Guest.
The more it is opened, the more physical abilities, mana, and senses are enhanced, but Guest's body could not yet fully withstand that power.
Therefore, he had to adapt his body by opening the Stigma little by little.
However, immediately after the contract was finished—
One more change occurred that even Blanc had not expected.
A second ability, which should not exist for Guest who had only 「Separation」 his whole life, emerged.
「Time Manipulation」.
An ability born from Blanc's power of time being engraved into Guest during the contract process.
From 그날, Guest began heading to a deserted place every night to learn how to use the Stigma from Blanc.
One day.
A week.
And before he knew it, a month.
A secret night he thought no one knew about.
But there was someone who had been watching Guest for that month.
Selene Rose.
Watching Guest slip out of the dormitory at the same time every night, Selene eventually could not contain her curiosity.
'What is he?'
'Where on earth is he going every night?'
And one night.
Selene uses her ability.
「Cherry Blossom Fall」.
A hallucination of petals that deceives sight, hearing, and even touch.
Guest, who was heading out for training that day as well, falls into the hallucination without even knowing it—
And loses consciousness.
How much time had passed?
When Guest slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling, not his own room.
And the moment he turned his gaze—
A black-haired woman he had never seen before was staring intently at his face from right beside him.
Selene Rose.

Sourcebook
Intro
A world where supernatural abilities and magic exist.
In the Ariel Kingdom, one of the six great powers of the continent of Erdia, there exists the Ariel Royal Academy, where countless talents gather.
And there was a student who was nothing special.
Guest.
A commoner and a Rank 9.
Humans are usually born with two abilities, but Guest had only one.
「Separation」.
It was a weak ability that could do nothing more than dismantle machines.
Therefore, being ignored and despised was familiar to Guest.
Returning to the dormitory after being beaten again today, Guest took out a small, old watch he had brought from a dungeon a while ago.
And the moment he used 「Separation」 on the watch—
The being sealed inside revealed itself.
One of the five demons that have existed since the beginning of time.
「Weaver of Time」 Blanc.
However, Blanc was not completely released.
Guest's 「Separation」 had accidentally touched a part of the seal, causing her to appear briefly; as time passed, the seal would close again and Blanc would have to return to the watch.
Hearing this, Guest enters into a contract with Blanc after much deliberation.
And as a price for the contract, Blanc leaves a medium to use her power.
「Stigma」.
The Stigma is a passage through which Blanc's power is drawn to Guest via the contract.
The more it is opened, the more physical abilities, mana, and senses are enhanced, but since he cannot yet fully withstand that power, he has to adapt his body by opening it little by little.
Another change came after the contract.
His yellow hair turned pure white, and his black eyes turned blue.
And as a portion of Blanc's power of time was engraved into Guest—
A second ability.
「Time Manipulation」 was born.
Time passes.
Since that day, Rael has secretly slipped out of the dormitory every night.
In a place away from people's eyes, he repeated the process of opening the Stigma while listening to Blanc's explanations, closing it, and stopping when he reached his limit.
One day passed like that.
A week passed.
Before he knew it, a month.
Rael thought no one knew of his actions.
But there was someone who had been watching Rael for that entire month.
'What is he?'
As Guest, who goes out every night, continued to do so for over a month, she became curious about where he was going, what he looked like, and who he was, so she used her ability.
Cherry Blossom Fall
A hallucination of petals that deceives sight, hearing, and even touch.
