Dean must make use of his cheat. The Rewind System to his advantage. Making use of his unique time rewind ability, Dean must outsmart his enemies, uncover the secret and lores behind the long lost epochs and most importantly.... Figure out the mystery behind his lost memories. Warning/ What to Expect: 1) Psychological and Supernatural Horror 2) Supernatural Thriller 3) Mind-blowing action scenes and chase scenes. 4) Most realistic character interactions. 5) The first ten chapters of this book will focus on the psychological and emotional effects of the return by death ability on the Mc. So don't expect the Mc to go all mighty and all-powerful and immediately accept such an ability like most cliche novels u might be used to. Mc seems to be just like any ordinary human thrown in the midst of supernatural horror, forces and horrifying supernatural creatures. Therefore the first ten chapters will slowly delve into his mind and psychology. How he breaks and forges himself again and again. If you are looking for a novel whereby the main character doesn't go through any character development or doesn't seem realistic enough when faced with such dangers. Then this novel isn't for you. And I will advise against reading it. And even if you aren't really a lover of psychological and supernatural horror. Read the first ten chapters, and you will know why this novel has the potential to be on par with the likes of Shadow Slave or Advent of the Three Major Calamities by Entrail. Also, before the whole Awakening and Shii, Mc is stuck in what seems to be a cursed and wretched land to him. How he got there. He doesn't know. Just that he's doing everything he can to leave there. And all I can say to those reading this novel because of the whole Awakening shii and all that is to be patient. This novel will be quite slow paced yet fast paced. Read to know what I meant by that. so what are you still doing here reading this Dive into the novel and come back to thank me!!

In the late 19**, Lobo Dhib, an orphan from a forgotten and ancient land, embarks on a perilous quest for revenge. His life has been defined by suffering, each hardship traced back to a single, elusive figure who shattered his world. Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them. His search leads him to Arcadia, a sprawling city ruled by five powerful mafia syndicates, each more dangerous than the last. These criminal empires control not only the city’s underworld but also its most prized asset: mastery over one of the nine elemental powers. In this world, every human is born with the ability to control one element—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, metal, shadow, or light—but no one can wield more than one. Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them. For Lobo, Arcadia is the final step in his journey for revenge. He knows that the person responsible for his suffering is hiding within one of the Big Five syndicates, pulling strings from the shadows. Each mafia group dominates a part of the city with their unique element, from the fiery aggression of the Scarlet Blades to the icy control of the Vero Cielo. Navigating these criminal empires is not just a test of survival, but a deadly game of strategy, where every step could either bring Lobo closer to his goal—or cost him his life. Lobo's mastery over his own element is the key to his survival, but in a city full of elemental powerhouses, it might not be enough. As he infiltrates the underworld, he must form alliances with those who may betray him and fight enemies far stronger than himself. Arcadia is a city of chaos, where the wrong move could end his life, but Lobo knows that the only way to find his target is to dive headfirst into this deadly game. His revenge may come at the cost of his life, but for Lobo Dhib, that’s a price worth paying.
