Bel-Marduk had actually not wanted to become a Star Sign from the start. Just like Chang-Sun, Bel-Marduk had received Ithaca’s <Star Fragment> and become a <Star> when he was still Lee Chang-Sun.3

After then, he had been killed by Ubbo-Sathla, which marked the start of his Rollback loop. During the endless loop, Bel-Marduk had been irreparably ruined, because he had experienced how he could never overcome the tide of his fate. Right at the moment when he had given up on everything and was about to do the same with his life, Asclepius had found him.2

“Your eyes are those of a ruined one. You’re also stuck in this <Punishment> and suffering under your <Mark>, aren’t you?”0

<Mark>, <Punishment>... It was Bel-Marduk’s first time hearing those terms, but the biggest reason why he was shocked was that Ascle looked the same as him, except for Ascle’s untidy appearance and belligerent way of speaking.0

The moment he realized it, Bel-Marduk felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head. All this time, he had thought that the world he was in was practically all there was to this universe, but it was merely a fragment of the universe.0
