**Chapter 1:**
My name is Sai, and I've traveled back in time from the year 2090. As the leader of a major company, I was betrayed by my best friend, Oscar, who attempted to end my life. The events leading to this betrayal unfolded with treachery and deceit, a dark underbelly beneath the facade of our corporate success.
Oscar, once my confidant, showed his true colors in a moment of jealousy. His attempt on my life was not just a result of personal grievances; it was orchestrated with precision. The betrayal cut deeper as he collaborated with Fang Chyou, our company's top competitor. It was a cruel twist of fate that they reveled in their newfound alliance while I lay dying.
As I clutched the prototype time travel watch on my wrist, uncertainty gnawed at me. Would this untested device save me, or was it a desperate gamble in my final moments? To my astonishment, the watch activated, transporting me through time. The rush of joy at escaping death was overshadowed by the pain coursing through my body. I was filled with conflicting emotions – relief and despair intertwined.
Upon arriving in the year 2010, rage consumed me. The air felt different, the surroundings unfamiliar yet strangely nostalgic. I woke up in my childhood bed, haunted by the memories of betrayal. My mother, oblivious to the turmoil within me, greeted me with warmth. The aroma of breakfast filled the air, triggering memories of a time when life was simpler.
After embracing my mother and sharing a seemingly ordinary breakfast, I made my way to school with my younger sister and brother. The weight of my mission pressed on me – to rewrite the future and protect those I loved from the impending disaster known as "The Attack From the Core."
At school, I navigated the halls, concealing my turmoil behind a façade of normalcy. The mundane routine was a stark contrast to the turmoil in my mind. As the day unfolded, glimpses of my previous life clashed with the present. The faces of colleagues and friends who had betrayed me lingered in my thoughts.
The pain resurfaced when I learned about my mother's separation and subsequent death in the previous timeline. Despite my resolve to remain focused, the emotional turmoil threatened to engulf me. The promise I made to myself echoed – to save her this time and ensure my family's safety in the face of impending catastrophe.
