Death was supposed to be the end.

For Ryan Carter, an E-rank hunter, survival was always a struggle. Weak, powerless, and constantly on the edge of death, he thought his fate was sealed when a dungeon boss ripped him apart.

But instead of the afterlife, he woke up in a void between existence.

Hunter System: Fully Deleted.
Hunter System has been replaced by the Afterlife System.



Ryan has become cursed with regression—every time he dies, he comes back. But unlike others, his world doesn’t reset—only he does. With every death, he earns Death Points (DP), a currency he can use in the Afterlife Exchange, a shop run by none other than… himself.

But something is wrong.

A being known as the Most Ancient Death watches him from the abyss, offering a choice:

『"Become the new ruler of the Afterlife… or watch the universe collapse without you."』



And lurking beyond, in a world he himself has abandoned, stands an enemy unlike any other—
Ryan Carter, the 100th Regression.

In a world where systems control fate, Ryan is now at the center of a cosmic war. Will he break the loop, or will he become the very monster he fears?

The only way forward… is through death itself.
