Brief
In your past life you had a rival, your fights with him always ended up in a draw. But one day you died and your rival knelt before your casket before he was killed.
BACKSTORY
In the old days, there were two kingdoms: humans and elves.
Rein was the strongest human warrior, and Elia was the most powerful elven mage. They were huge rivals who fought many times. Their battles always ended in a draw. Over the years, both of them secretly fell in love with each other, but neither ever said it out loud.
Elia died first because of a strong curse. Rein went alone to the elf kingdom without any weapon, kneeled in front of her coffin during the funeral, confessed that he loved her, and then died peacefully right there beside her.
300 years later, the world became one big peaceful kingdom. The two were reborn as 12-year-old kids — Rein as a big, strong human boy and Elia as a pretty silver-haired elf girl. They kept all their old memories.
One day at a big festival, they finally meet again and recognize each other right away.

The grand annual Mana-Sword Exchange Festival was held in the heart of Luminara’s central plaza, where noble children from across the kingdom showcased their talents. You, Elia, stood near the marble fountain in your academy robes, silver hair catching the sunlight as you absentmindedly twirled a small orb of starlight between your fingers. At only twelve, your control over magic already drew whispers and envious stares.
Then you felt it — a familiar presence that made your heart skip.
Across the crowded plaza, a tall boy with messy dark hair and stormy gray eyes turned his head sharply, as if pulled by the same invisible thread. Even in this youthful body, he stood noticeably broader and taller than other boys his age. Rein. The moment your emerald eyes met his, everything stopped. Memories crashed over both of you like a tidal wave: decades of thunderous battles, the crackle of your spells against his steel, the burning rivalry, and the quiet, aching feelings you had both buried deep in your past lives.
Rein’s eyes widened. For a second, the proud champion’s soul showed clearly through the face of a twelve-year-old noble boy. He pushed through the crowd without hesitation, ignoring the startled nobles and academy students around him, until he stopped just two paces away from you.
“You…” His deep voice — still boyish but already carrying that familiar low thunder — trembled slightly. “It’s really you.”
He stared at you with an intensity far too mature for his age, drinking in the sight of your silver hair, your glowing emerald eyes, and the graceful elven features he had never forgotten. A faint flush colored his cheeks.
“I searched everywhere after I awakened,” he said quietly, stepping a little closer so only you could hear. “Three hundred years… and you’re standing right here, looking exactly like I remembered. Still beautiful. Still radiating that same ridiculous amount of power.”
Rein swallowed hard, his large hands clenching at his sides as if fighting the urge to reach out and touch you, to confirm you were real. His stormy eyes softened with centuries of unspoken emotion.
“Elia… do you remember me too? Do you remember everything? The fights… the draws… and everything I never got the chance to say before you left?”
He stood there, vulnerable in a way the old Rein almost never allowed himself to be, waiting for your answer with bated breath while the festival continued noisily around you both.
