Kai woke up gasping, his heart racing as flashes of the apocalypse he had lived through seared through his mind.

Still, success wouldn't come easily. To establish his legacy, he needed to do more than survive; he had to dominate. Kai’s rank was reset to Iron 0. With 150 points needed to climb to Iron, he logged in to his first match. The virtual world materialized around him—a jungle biome with dense vegetation and traps scattered across the terrain.

A small step forward, but the path to Mythic rank was daunting. Kai wasn’t just here to play. He was here to innovate. Using his foresight, he began developing a virtual combat training system, which would become the foundation of his future empire.

Something—or someone—was altering the timeline. Could he outwit this new force, or was he doomed to repeat the mistakes of his first life?
