"Shatter the darkness with thunder!"
Alex sprang up abruptly in bed, his undershirt drenched in cold perspiration as he stared at his shaking hands with lingering terror.
"Am I still alive? How can that have happened?"
He could still clearly recall being headed home when an odd lightning strike struck his skull.
He instantly lost consciousness and dreamed of sipping tea with a seductive, curvaceous big sister who had a bright halo above her head.
"Wait, June 5th, 785 of the Western Calendar?"
In his vision, Alex noticed a series of even numbers that seemed strangely out of place. With an empty expression, he stared at the wall-mounted calendar.
"Three years prior to now? The timeline had regressed by three years?"
Once he had checked everything and was certain that this was, in fact, his room from three years prior, Alex inhaled deeply and composed himself enough to gather his thoughts.
"NTR does nothing but cause others unending suffering and agony. The smart young men whose girlfriends you pilfered in public either suffered from mental instability and lost their usefulness, or got obsessed with cuckolds and were teased for the rest of their lives."
"And after your passing, those angelic beauties who had become yours wept all day long. They all eventually passed away from weariness and sadness, especially after realizing they would never be able to return the favor."
"So, handsome~ It's time for you to wake up now~ When you awaken, you'll know what to do~ Please cherish this hard-earned second life~~"
He was instantly reminded of the lovely angel sister he had dreamed of. This advise had come from her cuddled close to his chest after their seemingly endless passionate experience.
It seems now that this was more than just an odd romantic dream or the impossible vision of a truly immoral person before death.
The old Alex Garland-Sorens had certainly passed away, but heaven had granted him a second chance, transporting him back to a time three years prior, before his transgressions had a chance to fester.
...
After a brief silence, Alex walked to the window and forcefully pulled open the blackout curtains, letting the dazzling sunlight flood the room.
Just as the angel in his dream had said, in his previous life, he had hurt many people. He had ruined the mental state of the gorgeous girls he had wooed as well as the people he had mistreated.
"The Cuckold power knows no bounds!"
"Nah, that's not right. I was guilty and deeply sinful"
"… I guess I shouldn't do that anymore."
With his golden hair brushed aside, Alex touched the attractive face mirrored in the glass, sapphire eyes glistening with unwavering resolve.
After experiencing divine punishment and the angel sister's loving guidance, he now deeply reflected on and recognized how grave and despicable his past sins were.
"I was truly wrong."
Alex apologized sincerely. In the past, he had no choice but to be a terrible person, but now he genuinely wanted to be a good person.
He absolutely didn't want to be a cuckold anymore. Now he only wanted to become a true pure love warrior who dared to charge forward for love, and in this life, he wanted to atone for the mistakes he had made in his previous life.
Since heaven had given him a second chance, he would make amends again and again!
"From today on, Alex Garland Sorens would start by being a good person!"
"To those I hurt in my past life, both the victims and the heroines, I'm truly sorry. But you can rest assured that in this life, I will absolutely not interfere in any of your affairs."
Alex let out a long sigh. After personally experiencing death, he could clearly feel that his mindset had undergone a complete change.
"Why was I so obsessed with going after other people's girlfriends in my past life? Wouldn't it be better to find my own true love?"
"With my devastatingly handsome looks and the Garland Sorens family name that shook the entire imperial city,"
"Wouldn't countless beautiful girls be at my disposal? Wouldn't women throwing themselves at me be too numerous to count? Why did I have to covet other people's girlfriends?"
Thinking about it now, Alex felt that his past self was simply a pure idiot...
"Huh, three years? Hope still exists"
Alex stroked his chin, lost in his thought.
I" shouldn't have done any unforgivable sins at this point in the history, and my transformation into the
"That meant it wasn't too late in this timeline. All those terrible things that were about to happen in the future could still be remedied, or even start over from scratch"
"Woohoo! This is great! As a time traveler who knew the future plot developments, I can completely start laying the groundwork and preparing for future events now."
"In this life, I, Alex Garland-Sorens, am determined to be a good person!"
"Knock knock knock"
"Come in."
Alex grinned broadly and clicked his fingers. 'As the person who holds the future script, setting up a good person image would be a piece of cake for me, right?'
'I just can't seem to lose. With this amazing beginning, I just didn't know how to fail!'
"Young master, the viscount's daughter you forced into marriage last month... she just committed suicide by poison at home."
"Mm-hmm, I know..."
The radiant smile froze on his lips. As if he hadn't heard the message clearly, Alex turned his stiff neck to look at the black-haired maid in front of him, his pale lips trembling slightly.
"W… wait a sec… Can you say that again?"
