However, the inspiration was I've been reading a lot of Korea returnee novels lately, so I spent quite a lot of time thinking of what would happen in a returnee type novel in Rand's world.
Obviously Rand wouldn't be the one to return 10 years or whatever and get a do-over, but what side character do you think would be the best to follow on a redo?
What if the returnee partied up with Randidly early and helped him defeat the Sphinx? Took the Aether Spring?
Randidly would waste away with Aether Starvation, and the new MC would need to figure out how Rand managed to make his an Aether Crossroads, so he could make an Aether Connection to him. Just as he did so, Rand gets pulled to Shal's world, and new MC has to chase!
Just a fun thought experiment~
