Yes...! As much as I hate the circumstances, it's fascinating to hear about other worlds. I wish I could visit every one of them, just to see for myself and learn.
The details are long and tedious, so I won't bore you with them.
But it was necessary to ensure the survival of many people, and so a system was created to send people back in time. I met one such person on their travels, and also had an opportunity to meet them in another era... though I admit, my memories of these events are hazy.
I guess I'm not exactly certain, but I would have liked to prevent a lot of damage to the land before it was too late. Maybe if I could have met and talked to the alchemists of the past, something could have changed.

Well, no -- better to say I've visited different times, not different worlds, on a few occasions.
