Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Restart 2

December 31, 2026

It's hard to find the words for what happened today. It feels surreal, like a nightmare I can't wake up from. Finn was behind everything, and I never saw it coming.

We were preparing for a major offensive, a coordinated strike against the last remaining monster nests. Spirits were high, and for the first time in a long while, I felt genuine hope. But then Finn appeared. He walked into our base with a sinister calm, a smile that sent chills down my spine.

I didn't understand at first. Finn, my old companion from the original timeline, had been working with us, helping us rebuild. But it was all a ruse. He betrayed us in the worst possible way.

He slaughtered Zara first. Her screams still echo in my ears. She fought bravely, but Finn was too powerful. The rest of the team tried to intervene, but it was a massacre. Dante, Elena, Marcus, Lia—one by one, they fell. My family, my friends, gone in an instant.

Finn turned to me, a gun in his hand and a twisted satisfaction on his face. He said something about needing to reset the timeline, to start over. I didn't understand, but I felt the cold metal of the gun barrel against my forehead. Then there was a flash, and everything went black.

I woke up gasping for air, my heart pounding. I was in my old bedroom, the posters on the walls, the familiar smell. It was 2010. Sixteen years ago. How is this possible? Is this some kind of loop? Am I destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over?

Finn's betrayal, the slaughter of my friends, the collapse of everything we built—it all feels like it just happened, yet here I am, back in my teenage years. The System is silent, offering no answers. I'm on my own.

I have to find Finn. I have to understand why this is happening. There has to be a way to break this loop, to change the future without causing more harm. But right now, all I feel is rage. I want to destroy Finn for what he's done, for making me live through this nightmare again.

January 5, 2010

I've spent the last few days trying to adjust to this new, old reality. My family is here, alive and well. It's a strange comfort, seeing them as they were before everything fell apart. But I can't let myself get too comfortable. There's too much at stake.

I've started making plans. This time, I won't be caught off guard. I'll use my knowledge of the future to prepare, to build a new strategy. Finn won't see me coming. I'll be ready.

School is a strange experience now. It's like I'm watching a rerun of my life, but with the weight of sixteen years of pain and loss. My classmates are oblivious to the horrors that await them. I envy their ignorance, but I also know I have to protect them.

I've reached out to Zara. She's just a kid now, like me, but I can't help but see the fierce leader she'll become. I have to guide her, to make sure she survives this time. It's a delicate balance, not revealing too much but steering her towards the strength she'll need.

January 20, 2010

I've started training in secret. My body is young, but my mind remembers the skills I honed over years of fighting. I can't rely on the System alone; I need to be strong on my own. I've also begun gathering resources, anything that might help when the time comes.

I've kept an eye on Finn. He's still the friend I remember from the original timeline, but now I see the darkness lurking beneath the surface. I have to find a way to stop him before he becomes the monster that destroyed everything.

February 1, 2010

The nightmares are relentless. I see my friends' faces, hear their screams. The weight of my failure is crushing, but I can't let it paralyze me. I have to keep moving, keep planning. The future depends on it.

I've decided to seek out others who might be able to help. There are people I know will play crucial roles in the coming years. If I can gather them now, build a team before the storm hits, we might stand a chance.

February 15, 2010

I found Lia. She's just a kid, still discovering her abilities. I've started training her, teaching her what I know. It feels good to be doing something, to be taking action instead of just waiting for the inevitable.

Dante will be harder to find. He's always been a lone wolf, but I need his strength, his leadership. I'll find him, no matter what it takes.

March 1, 2010

Time is slipping away faster than I'd like. Each day brings us closer to the moment when everything changes. I can't afford any mistakes. I've begun to see patterns, events I can manipulate to my advantage. It's a dangerous game, but I have no choice.

I keep thinking about Finn. What drove him to such madness? There has to be more to his story, something I missed. I need to understand him if I'm going to defeat him.

March 15, 2010

I found Dante. He's rough around the edges, but there's a fire in him, a determination. He's skeptical of my warnings, but I'll prove myself to him. We don't have much time, but I believe in him.

Elena is next. Her compassion, her healing abilities, will be vital. I have to make her see the urgency, the danger we're all in. Together, we can change the course of history.

March 30, 2010

My team is coming together. It's strange, seeing them so young, so full of potential. They don't fully understand the stakes yet, but they trust me. I have to earn that trust, to guide them without revealing too much.

The System has been quiet, but I feel its presence, like a watchful guardian. It's up to me to make the right choices, to use this second chance wisely. I won't let my friends down again. I won't let Finn win.

April 10, 2010

The clock is ticking. Every day brings us closer to the point of no return. I'm doing everything I can to prepare, to strengthen my team. We're training harder than ever, pushing our limits. The future depends on it.

I keep a close eye on Finn, watching for any signs of the darkness that will consume him. I have to find a way to reach him, to stop him before it's too late. There has to be a way to break this loop, to change our fate.
