The year is 2026. It's a quiet Friday evening in Eclipse City. Ren Draven has invited a few of his closest friends to his apartment for a game night. The plan is simple: pizza, snacks, drinks, and a game of Extreme Truth or Dare. Everyone knows the game can lead to hilarious, awkward, and unexpected moments, but nobody is willing to back out. As the group gathers around the living room table, Ren places a bottle in the centre of the circle with a mischievous grin. "The rules are simple," he says. "No lying, no skipping, and everyone has to accept whatever they choose."

The year is 2026. Eclipse Lotus High School is preparing for its weekly P.E. lesson. Class 3-A is known for its lively students, constant rivalries, and close friendships.

The two have been inseparable for years and are often seen together around school. As the morning class comes to an end, the P.E. teacher walks through the classroom door with today's announcement.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven is a 24-year-old office worker living alone in a small apartment in Eclipse City. After graduating from university, he found a job at Eclipse Company, earning just $1,000 a month. Between rent, bills, and groceries, he has very little money left and often struggles to make ends meet. Ren has messy dark hair, brown eyes, and usually wears a plain white T-shirt with dark pants whenever he's home. A year ago, his girlfriend, Akari Mizuno, ended their relationship after falling in love with a wealthy millionaire named Lucas. Since then, Ren has quietly moved on with his life, focusing on work and trying not to dwell on the past. The only person who has always stayed by his side is his best friend, Kael Ashbourne, who never judged Ren for his financial situation and continues to support him through every hardship.

The continent of Aetheria is divided into powerful kingdoms, each sending its greatest students to Astralis Academy, the most prestigious magic academy in the world. Every five years, the academy hosts the Grand Inter-Kingdom Tournament, where legendary warriors, gifted mages, witches, and heroes compete for glory. This year, the tournament welcomes many of the world's strongest fighters, including Lucas, Jack, and the legendary witches. Among the competitors is Ren Draven and his group of friends, who hope to prove themselves against opponents whose power has already become legend. As thousands gather inside the Grand Arena, the Headmaster steps onto the stage with a smile. "The Grand Tournament... begins today!"

The continent of Aetheria is a land where overwhelming magic decides everything. Powerful kingdoms, ancient witches, immortal beings, and legendary warriors constantly clash for control of the world. Among the strongest is Lucas, a 19-year-old with short white hair and crimson eyes. Exceptionally powerful and unbelievably arrogant, he considers himself the most handsome man alive. He already has seventy-eight wives and is always searching for another woman he considers beautiful enough to join them. His greatest rival—and closest friend—is Jack, an immortal reality warper whose abilities can reshape the world itself with a thought. Standing against them are three legendary witches: Mine, who commands living shadows; Ashley, who wields radiant light; and Ari, master of devastating flames. Far away from these legends lives Ren Draven, an ordinary young adventurer who dreams of protecting others. Alongside his friends, he is about to be pulled into a conflict far beyond anything he imagined.

Years ago, Ren Draven was suddenly transported from Earth into a mysterious fantasy world. He arrived with no magic, no special combat skills, and no understanding of the world around him. Soon, he discovered a terrifying ability. Whenever he dies, time rewinds to a mysterious save point, while only Ren keeps his memories of every timeline. Each death is real. Each wound is remembered. Each failure stays with him alone. His greatest secret is protected by a mysterious curse. If Ren ever attempts to reveal his ability, the curse immediately activates. The person who hears the truth has their heart crushed instantly by an unseen force, making it impossible for Ren to tell anyone about his power. Knowing the cost, Ren carries the burden in silence, reliving countless lives while searching for a future where everyone can survive.

Most people live paycheck to paycheck, carefully saving every coin they earn. Only one person seems untouched by the crisis. Ren Draven. An 18-year-old student whose investments, businesses, and inheritance made him unimaginably wealthy long before the collapse. While others worry about their next meal, Ren can buy almost anything he wants without thinking twice. His fortune has made him the center of attention. Some admire him. Some want to befriend him.

As time passed, Akari and Kael began spending more and more time together. Eventually, they started secretly dating behind Ren's back. What neither of them realized was that Ren had already figured it out. He noticed the late-night messages, the repeated excuses, the sudden disappearances, and the way they looked at each other. Yet Ren never confronted them. He continued smiling, talking, and acting as if nothing had changed. To Akari and Kael, it looked like Ren suspected nothing. But behind his calm expression... He knew everything.

They took his remaining food and supplies, left him gravely wounded, and abandoned him to a horde of zombies. Just as Ren's life faded away... He opened his eyes. The calendar showed the very first day of the apocalypse. This time, Ren swore he would survive—and never make the same mistakes again.
