Way, way, and very way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals. And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army. Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too. My Talent's Name Was Generator. Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like. So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me? Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back. I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

When the bitter wind of the harsh winter sweeps across the entire globe together with endless ice and snow in a devastating manner, the whole world is instantly frozen and plunged into a desolate doomsday. Everything once familiar gradually fades away in this icy world, leaving only despair and fear spreading in people's hearts. Lin Xiao, an ordinary young man originally, suffered the darkest betrayal of human nature in this disaster. His beloved lover, the classmates he had been close to on a daily basis, and the teachers he had respected so much, for a little bit of survival resources under the shadow of the doomsday, mercilessly pushed him towards death. At the moment when the blade pierced through his body, Lin Xiao was filled with nothing but unwillingness and indignation, and his consciousness slowly dissipated. However, fate played a trick on him. Lin Xiao actually got a chance to be reborn and unexpectedly awakened a mysterious spatial ability. Having returned to life, looking at the still prosperous but soon-to-be-doomed world, Lin Xiao secretly swore that in this life, he would never be bullied again! Before the doomsday arrived, Lin Xiao took advantage of his spatial ability to collect supplies frantically. He invested billions of funds without hesitation in this stockpiling operation. From daily necessities to advanced weapons and equipment, from precious medicines to various energy sources, he stored them all in his space. At the same time, he carefully selected a location and spent countless efforts building an impregnable doomsday safe house, laying a solid foundation for his rebirth journey. The doomsday came as expected. Those who had betrayed him and been arrogant in the past were struggling to survive in the icy world, while Lin Xiao was living a life far more comfortable than before in the safe house. The flame of revenge burned fiercely in his heart, and he began to carry out his revenge plan in an orderly manner. Relying on his advantage in supplies and his outstanding intelligence and strategy, he made those who betrayed him pay a bitter price for their evil deeds. In this doomsday world, most people perished in the disaster, but a few people unexpectedly awakened their special abilities. During his revenge journey, Lin Xiao continuously strengthened himself and also got to know a group of like-minded partners. Among them were brave and fearless warriors, resourceful strategists, and experts proficient in various technologies. Lin Xiao led this team to explore and move forward in the icy world, gradually uncovering the secrets hidden behind this world. They once outwitted and fought against hungry survivors in a small town where supplies were extremely scarce. They once delved deep into mysterious ice caves to explore the ruins left by ancient civilizations. They also had intense confrontations with other forces with special abilities. Every adventure was thrilling, and every challenge made them more united and powerful. In this desperate doomsday world, Lin Xiao and his partners not only wrote their own legends but also, almost without realizing it, shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the world.

Hold up. Are you telling me… I’m getting isekai’d? Like in the anime?” The old man nodded. “Indeed. You have been selected to wield a powerful system, one that will grant you abilities beyond mortal comprehension.” I fistpumped. “Hell yeah! Overpowered skills, here I come!” The old man coughed. “Yes, well… about that.” I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean, about that?” “You see, we have too many reincarnators lately. We can’t just be handing out godtier powers like candy anymore.” I folded my arms. “Okay, so what are we talking? A slightly nerfed cheat? A balanced growth system?” The old man looked away. “You’ll… figure it out.” My stomach dropped. “Oh, hell no. You’re about to scam me, aren’t you?” “I would never!” the old man said, voice dripping with totally believable innocence. “Now, off you go!”
