I never thought I'd be writing in you again after everything that happened. But here I am, with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a pen in the other. The world is a different place now, a nightmare that never ends. And it's all because of Finn.
After Axel's death, Finn and I uncovered his research on Temporal Fusion. It was supposed to be the key to fixing everything, to creating a perfect reality. But Finn had other plans. He betrayed me, using the technology for his own gain. When he tried to merge universes, it resulted in catastrophic errors. Hundreds of space portals opened, unleashing monstrous armies and soldiers from alternate realities. Humanity was decimated, half of the population wiped out in a matter of days.
Finn, once my friend and ally, is now a broken man. He was gravely injured during a monster attack, and he's confined to a wheelchair. His betrayal still burns, but I can't find it in me to hate him completely. He's a shadow of his former self, consumed by regret and guilt.
In the aftermath of the Temporal Fusion disaster, humans experienced bizarre changes. Their bodies adapted, gaining random powers that reflected their minds and personalities. This new world is chaotic, with people wielding incredible abilities.
Amidst the ruins, a new power structure emerged. A massive corporation called RANKERS rose to prominence, offering protection and order in exchange for loyalty. Its president is none other than Zara. Once a club dancer, she's now the strongest Ranker in the world. Her transformation is both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking. She wields her power with an iron fist, leading RANKERS with a ruthless efficiency.
As for me, I've spiraled into a dark abyss. Alcohol and pornography are my only escapes from the hellish reality we live in. I've lost everything—my family, my friends, my purpose. I'm a shell of the person I once was, drowning in self-pity and despair.
But today, something changed. After years of silence, the System finally activated. It delivered a message and a quest, a glimmer of hope in my darkest hour. Here's what it said:
---
**Quest: Redemption**
Objective: Save the remnants of humanity and close the space portals.
Reward: Restoration of your abilities and a chance to rebuild the future.
Message: "Kyle, this is your last chance. The world needs you. Rise above your failures and become the hero you were meant to be."
---
The message shook me to my core. I've spent so long wallowing in misery that I'd forgotten what it feels like to have a purpose. The System's quest is a beacon of light, calling me to action. But can I really rise to the challenge? Can I become the hero the world needs?

I've spent the last few days sobering up and trying to get my act together. The System's quest haunts me, pushing me to reclaim my lost potential. It's not easy. The temptation to fall back into old habits is strong, but I can't afford to fail again.
I decided to visit Finn. Despite everything, I need his help. He's the only one who understands the intricacies of Temporal Fusion. When I arrived at his makeshift lab, he looked worse than ever, his eyes hollow and filled with pain.
"Finn," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I need your help."
He looked up at me, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. "Kyle… I didn't think you'd ever come back."
"I didn't either," I admitted. "But the System gave me a quest. It's our last chance to fix this mess."
Finn sighed, rubbing his temples. "I've made so many mistakes, Kyle. I don't know if I can help."
"You're the only one who can," I insisted. "You know more about Temporal Fusion than anyone else. Together, we can close the portals and save what's left of humanity."
For a moment, he was silent. Then, he nodded. "Alright. Let's do this."
October 10, 2025
Finn and I have been working tirelessly, analyzing the data and devising a plan to close the portals. It's grueling work, but for the first time in years, I feel a spark of hope. The System's abilities are slowly returning, enhancing my skills and providing valuable insights.
We've made some progress, but we need more resources. That means confronting Zara and the RANKERS. It won't be easy. Zara has changed, hardened by the new world order. But I have to try. She's our best shot at getting the equipment and manpower we need.
October 15, 2025
I met with Zara today. The encounter was tense, to say the least. She's a formidable leader, commanding respect and fear in equal measure. When I explained our plan, she was skeptical.
"Kyle, you've been a mess for years," she said, her voice cold. "Why should I trust you now?"
"Because we don't have a choice," I replied. "If we don't close the portals, humanity is doomed. You have the power to make a difference. Please, Zara, help us."
She studied me for a long moment before nodding. "Fine. But this is your last chance. If you fail, we're all dead."
With Zara's support, we've acquired the resources we need. The clock is ticking, but for the first time, I feel like we have a fighting chance.
November 1, 2025
The preparations are complete. We've identified the main portal nexus, the epicenter of the Temporal Fusion disaster. It's heavily guarded by monstrous entities, but we're ready to face them.
The team consists of Finn, Zara, and a few elite Rankers. It's a dangerous mission, but we're determined to succeed. As we approach the nexus, I can feel the System's power surging through me. It's a strange sensation, a mix of fear and exhilaration.
November 2, 2025
The battle was intense. The monsters guarding the nexus were unlike anything we've faced before. But with the System's abilities and the combined strength of our team, we fought our way through.
Finn, despite his injuries, managed to reach the core of the portal. Using the knowledge we'd gathered, he began the process of shutting it down. Zara and I defended him, holding off the relentless waves of enemies.
As the portal began to close, the ground shook, and a blinding light filled the air. The monsters howled in agony as they were sucked back into the void. Finally, with a deafening roar, the portal collapsed, sealing the rift between our world and the others.
We did it. We closed the nexus.
November 3, 2025
The aftermath is surreal. The remaining portals are unstable, but they're closing on their own now that the main nexus is gone. Humanity has a chance to rebuild, to recover from the devastation.
Finn is still in bad shape, but he's alive. He's a hero, despite everything. Zara, too, has earned her place as the strongest Ranker, a beacon of hope for the survivors.
As for me, I feel a sense of peace I haven't known in years. The System's quest is complete, but I know my journey isn't over. There's still so much to do, so much to fix. But for now, I'm content to take it one step at a time.
November 10, 2025
Diary,
It's strange to think that just a few months ago, I was lost in a sea of despair. Now, I'm part of something bigger, something meaningful. The world is still a dangerous place, but we're stronger, united by our shared struggle.
I've reconnected with Zara and my mom. It's not perfect, but it's a start. Zara has offered me a place in RANKERS, a chance to use my abilities for the greater good. I've accepted, eager to contribute to the rebuilding efforts.
Finn is recovering, and we've talked about the future. He wants to continue researching Temporal Fusion, to find a way to prevent another disaster. I'll be by his side, helping him every step of the way.
This new world is unpredictable, filled with both danger and opportunity. But I'm ready to face it head-on, to embrace whatever comes next.
For the first time in a long while, I'm hopeful. We've survived the worst, and now, we have a chance to create something better. The revolution has begun, and I'm determined to see it through.
