[2 Months Ago, Location: City A]
After Yuan Tianyu finally killed Song Mei Ling and Kang Fu Yan, the world started to shatter. However, much to Yuan Tianyu's astonishment, he was reborn again for the second time!
Yuan Tianyu had no time to think about it. He immediately began to prepare for the apocalypse.
The first thing he did was visit his grandfather, Yuan Chen.
It seemed as though it had been forever since he had last seen his grandfather, but to his grandfather, it has only been a day.
Yuan Tianyu immediately rushed to hug his grandfather.
"What's that matter Tianyu? Do you miss your grandfather that much?" His grandfather questioned with a smile on his face.
Yuan Tianyu nodded.
"Silly boy." His grandfather said as he stoked Yuan Tianyu's black hair.
When they pulled back from the hug, Yuan Tianyu said seriously, "Grandfather, I have something to tell you. You may not believe me, but I've been reborn twice. Doomsday will occur in 2 months."
His grandfather's eyes widened in shock but he soon calmed down and said with an equally serious tone as Yuan Tianyu, "Tianyu, I've raised you since you were a baby. I know that you never lie. I'm choosing to believe you now. Don't disappoint me."
"Yes, Grandfather."

[Present Time]
Feng Yuze replied, "I got it."
"Host, be careful. Don't forget the villain has been reborn so he might be more guarded against you"
"Okay."
Feng Yuze locked his eyes on his target, Yuan Tianyu who was steadily approaching him.
"Watch out!" Feng Yuze warned as he shot a lighting bolt towards a zombie who was sneaking behind Yuan Tianyu.
"Ding! Level 1 zombie killed! Plus 5 points...Calculating total points...1270."
Yuan Tianyu ducked and rolled out the way. He got up and ran towards Feng Yuze.
When Yuan Tianyu reached his side, he swept his black hair out of his face, revealing a pair of crystal blue eyes.
Yuan Tianyu observed Feng Yuze. He appeared to be several years younger, maybe 18 years old. Seeing that the boy had had silver hair and violet eyes, he came to the conclusion that he had the rare lightning ability.
The boy was a few inches shorter compared to his 6'5" height. He was very muscular and his face very masculine. After his observation, Yuan Tianyu asked, "Are you the only survivor in this area?"
Feng Yuze's eyebrow twitched in surprise. Yuan Tianyu's voice was deeper and more masculine than him.
"I'm the only one. I was used expendable trash by my teammates to distract the zombies." Feng Yuze said.
Yuan Tianyu's eyes softened as he remembered what happened in his previous life.
"What is your name? My name is Yuan Tianyu, the Boss of this group."
"My name is Feng Yuze." Feng Yuze replied.
Noticing Yuan Tianyu's softening gaze, Feng Yuze quickly asked, "Nighttime is approaching, and City A base is a few hours away so can I stay with your team for the night?"
Yuan Tianyu glanced down at the shorter boy and had a weird urge to pat his soft silver hair. His right hand twitched slightly but he held back by clenching his fists.
Yuan Tianyu nodded stiffly and turned around to start ordering his subordinates to begin preparing for camp.
As Yuan Tianyu and his teammates began to prepare for the night, he couldn't help but look for Feng Yuze out of the corners of his eyes.
He watched how the young boy was laughing cheerfully at a joke that one of his teammates said. He wondered how Feng Yuze could be so happy during doomsday. Feng Yuze felt the exact opposite of himself, Feng Yuze felt like the light while he himself felt like the darkness.
'Would Feng Yuze get tainted by a monster like me, or would he be able to save me?' Yuan Tianyu wondered.
He thought about his previous lifetimes and wondered why he never met the young boy in any of his lifetimes.
As he thought about it, Yuan Tianyu came to the conclusion that the reason why is because he was reborn earlier than his previous lifetimes and maybe, the reason why he was able to meet Feng Yuze was that he helped him during the zombie horde early today.
With that thought, his heart started to pound painfully and he couldn't help but reach his right hand and place it over his heart.
'If I wasn't reborn this early, then wouldn't this mean Feng Yuze would already be dead?' Yuan Tianyu thought as he scrunched his eyebrows together.
With that thought, his gaze left Feng Yuze.
As if sensing something, Feng Yuze looked at Yuan Tianyu and saw the other's frowning face and scrunched up eyebrows.
For some reason, that upset Feng Yuze.
He walked over to the man and raised his fingers to flatten out Yuan Tianyu's scrunched eyebrows. Yuan Tianyu looked startled and Feng Yuze said with a smile, "Don't scrunch your eyebrows, you will get wrinkles."
Yuan Tianyu let out a small chuckle.
"En." He replied.
'Thankfully I was reborn earlier this time, all that matters is that I'm here now and was able to help him.' Yuan Tianyu thought.

They set up camp at a nearby hotel.
Since they had enough members for night watch, Feng Yuze and Yuan Tianyu were both free from that duty.
After a few hours, dinner was made.
The teammates along with Feng Yuze and Yuan Tianyu lined up to get some food provided by Seo Ran, a member with the space ability which was two biscuits and some canned beans.'
Seo Ran piled up the food on a plastic plate and handed it two Feng Yuze and then Yuan Tianyu.
When they got their food, the two of them walked towards the couch in the living room. Yuan Tianyu took a seat and Feng Yuze sat down next to him. Feng Yuze began to eat his meal of dry biscuits and canned beans.
While the rest of Yuan Tianyu's teammates were loud and talkative, Feng Yuze and Yuan Tianyu were silent, but Yuan Tianyu's mind was filled with various thoughts.
This was Yuan Tianyu's second time being reborn. He couldn't figure out the reason for his multiple rebirths, but looking at the cheerful boy in front of him eating his can of beans, he couldn't help but think that the reason for his rebirths was to meet this young boy.
Yuan Tianyu's expressionless face slightly cracked a smile, unknown to everyone including Yuan Tianyu himself.
As the night continued, when he finished his food, Yuan Tianyu grasped Feng Yuze's smaller hand.
Despite Feng Yuze's hand being quite muscular, it was still soft. Feeling how soft his hand was, Yuan Tianyu couldn't help but gently rub it a few times.
Feng Yuze looked up at Yuan Tianyu with a questioning look.
Yuan Tianyu looked at Feng Yuze seriously and said, "Join my squad."
Feng Yuze's violet eyes widened in shock but he still replied quickly, "Okay!"
Yuan Tianyu's eyes softened and he let go of Feng Yuze's hand to reach out softly to pat Feng Yuze's soft silver hair.
Yuan Tianyu retracted his hand and walked away towards the kitchen to throw away his plastic plates and utensils.
"Ding! Side Mission: Joining the villain's team achieved. 50 points awarded! Calculating points...1320 total points! System 505 said happily.
'Why was it this easy?' Feng Yuze wondered in a slight daze.
