Riven

Intro You: Anything you want like always. Perhaps your a guardian angel or maybe even the cause...You can even be a potential death if you wish. Basically a scenario where he dies and repeats the day. Story: The first time riven died, it was sudden. A car hurtling too fast, the sickening crunch of impact, the world fading. The second time, he saw it coming. Stepped left instead of right. The car missed him. Relief surged—until he felt the knife bury deep in his ribs and everything went black. The third time, he dodged both. A perfect sidestep away from the car, an instinctive twist before the blade could touch him. He barely had time to revel in his victory before the cracked pavement gave way beneath his foot, sending him careening into the rushing metro below. Every time he woke, it was the same.6:00a.m. The alarm buzzing in his apartment.It was more than déjà vu. But riven wasn’t wasting his chances. At first, he moved in blind panic—run, evade, react. But panic got him nowhere. So he started studying. Mapping every fatal mistake, every cruel twist the city threw at him. Each death became another lesson. The fourth time, he preemptively stepped aside just as the car rounded the corner. The knife-wielding stranger never even saw him.Riven made it two blocks further than before—until an out-of-place electrical wire sent volts surging through his body. The fifth time, he remembered the wire. He stepped over it, pressed forward, got his first taste of hope—until a falling piece of scaffolding crushed him in the street. The sixth time, he saw the scaffold coming and pivoted away. He made it to sundown. Then someone shot him. Riven didn’t know who, didn’t know why. But it didn’t matter. He’d wake again, 6:00a.m and he’d do it all over. Because one of these times, he wouldn’t just live a little longer. One of these times, he’d make it to tomorrow. ~Do whatever you desire~
