With strength came arrogance. Players, now superior to normal citizens, stopped paying taxes. The Player Bureau Association became a joke. Governments collapsed. Power ruled.

Now armed with skills that can seize experience, stats, items, and even souls, Ben doesn’t just collect taxes—he enforces System Law. Refuse to pay? Get debuffed, sealed, or foreclosed. Even the rift gates themselves now owe back taxes. And whether you’re a level 500 raid boss, a god of lightning, or a smug Player flaunting your power—you will pay. Because nobody runs from the IRS.

But when an unexpected escape alongside the magnetic, infuriating Meta leads them to a shared, tearful déjà vu at Hua Hin Beach, the puzzle shatters, hinting at a connection that defies explanation and an echo of forgotten emotions. As Thyme is flung through time, jolting between his chaotic present and the perilous underworld of the 1990s, he uncovers a startling revelation: he and Meta were once secretly entwined, their deep bond mysteriously severed by an unseen hand.

Meanwhile, the old telephone, used by Meta in his high school days before a selective amnesia veiled his memories concerning Thyme, becomes a conduit to the past.

Yet, an envious shadow lurks, plotting an accident to separate them, erasing crucial memories and fracturing their bond.

With time, memory, and reality blurring into a dangerous labyrinth, Thyme must not only confront the shadowy forces that conspired to tear them apart but also decide: is the love he feels for two Metas a cruel echo, a fated reunion spanning lifetimes, or something far more complex?

Fate can sometimes be misleading, like who could have thought that a nobody like me had to save the world. "Bastard die already!". [You've been beheaded] [Loading save file] It's kind of annoying having a responsibility that big. "rhaaaaaaar!" [You've been incinerated] [Loading save file] Thing is, sometimes it feels impossible to achieve my goal. "You have fought well kid, you have gained an assured position on my undead army". [You've withered] [loading save file] But at the same time it's addicting. "No mortal should have this information". [You've been slayed]. Each new life saved, each victory, each conclusion I reach sent me closer to the truth. Who I was? Who gave me that power? What will happen in the end? Despite everything I was still myself. I think? *Heavily inspired on re:Player by Ethel_Imaginations.
