Synopsis

Chapter 1 - second chance at life

Mikael's rebirth is sudden and jarring. He wakes up in his cramped dorm room, the smells and sounds of campus life as vivid as the last time he was 20. Panic sets in as he recalls his previous life: a series of selfish decisions, professional failures, and most painfully, losing Leila. His memories are interrupted by the System, an enigmatic voice assigning him his first quest:

> "Reclaim Leila's trust. Timeline divergence detected: Her career is in jeopardy, and so is your love. Rewards: Enhanced Charisma and Clarity."

Desperate to right his past wrongs, Mikael seeks out Leila, only to find her as he first knew her: radiant, confident, and full of dreams. They meet at the college library, where Leila is immersed in military strategy books. Nervously, Mikael sparks a conversation, careful not to let onhow much he knows about her future. Through small but genuine gestures—helping her research, respecting her ambitions—he starts to rebuild the foundation of their relationship.

Mikael's System escalates the stakes with a new quest:

> "Strengthen your bond. Take Leila on a meaningful outing. Reward: Relationship Insight Skill."

Determined, Mikael organizes a day trip to a military museum, knowing her love for history and strategy. The outing reveals layers to their personalities—Leila's disciplined demeanor hides a deep passion for justice, while Mikael's newfound sincerity begins to intrigue her. However, Mikael struggles with the System's cryptic updates, which hint at challenges ahead in Leila's military career.

Meanwhile, a subplot develops: Mikael's encounter with a professor who specializes in conflict analysis gives him the idea to freelance as a strategist, aligning his career with Leila's.

Leila graduates with honors and begins her military training. Mikael, now working part-time as a consultant for military logistics, finds ways to support her indirectly. The System assigns more quests, each focusing on trust, patience, and protecting her from unseen dangers.

This chapter dives deeply into Leila's world: grueling drills, camaraderie among recruits, and the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field. Through letters, video calls, and surprise visits, Mikael becomes her emotional anchor. However, cracks begin to form as Mikael's obsession with the System grows. He intervenes subtly when Leila faces sabotage from a jealous superior, but his actions almost expose the System's existence.
