The Regressionist and the Blind Saintess

Vera lived a life of desperation, surviving the Demon King's reign by betraying others and hiding in the shadows. He was a coward who valued his own skin above all else, but the aftermath of the war left him cursed and alone. Just as death approached, he encountered Renée, a blind and scarred saintess whose unconditional kindness changed his cold heart. When she inevitably perished, Vera was granted a second chance at life. Now reborn, he is determined to rewrite history and shield Renée from a cruel world. However, saving her requires more than raw power; as the Saint's Stigmata emerge, every major power on the continent—from the Holy Kingdom to the Dragonians—will fight to claim her. Can a former coward become the ultimate protector?
