Adrian Voss, a brilliant strategist, is killed by betrayal and wakes up in the past, reliving the moments before his downfall. With memories of his previous life intact, he must navigate a mysterious loop where enemies and allies alike are not what they seem. As he battles fate itself, Adrian faces a sacrifice that will change everything.

Haunted by cryptic whispers and a strange symbol, Adrian realizes his second chance may be part of a larger, unseen game. With each decision, the stakes grow higher, and the boundaries of time itself begin to blur. To break the cycle, he must outsmart not only his enemies but also the very forces that control his fate.

Alight, that is my first time doing this, so don't expect it to be perfect. XD

The Eternal Strategist

The battlefield, the throne, the cycle—it was all gone.

Adrian stood alone in the void, the weight of his choice settling over him. His body was battered, his soul exhausted, but there was a sense of peace that had settled within him. The voices had fallen silent. The endless loop was broken.

But Kael was still there, standing a few paces away. His face was filled with both relief and confusion, as if unsure whether to trust that this was truly the end.

"Adrian?" Kael asked cautiously. "Is it over?"

Adrian nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. "Yes. It's over. The cycle is broken."

Kael's expression softened, and for the first time in what felt like forever, a genuine smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "You did it, my friend."

Adrian closed his eyes, letting the silence wash over him. It was done. The past, the guilt, the failures—they no longer had a hold on him. He was free.
