A system suddenly transports humanity's consciousness into a simulated world mirroring its own, with its future unfolding as the story of the simulation. The simulation concludes upon the player's death, and ordinarily, they wouldn't recall anything. However, there's an exception: a bug allows Akira to remember everything, but he perceives it as a glimpse into his future, believing he has traveled back in time.

Burdened by the guilt of his past choices, Akira endeavors to alter his fate this time around and protect his loved ones armed with knowledge of the future. Yet, the events that unfold deviate unexpectedly from his expectations, challenging his efforts at every turn.

This time will be different

"Wait, I have something to try on first," said Akira, stopping Haruka from serving the food.

"It's in the books I am reading," said Akira. "I found some clues on how to manipulate the mana, but I don't know what it leads to."

"I don't know. I have to give it a try. If the aliens responsible for this system suddenly show up and control the system, we will become their slaves, so I want to try it as quickly as possible."

Haruka misunderstood. She believed that Akira knew about the future, and in that future, he must have tried this already. So she just let him do it.

"Ok," she said, which surprised Akira a lot. He stimulated all kinds of scenarios to change her mind into agreeing, but here she was, agreeing very easily.

Not to waste another moment, Akira sat down in a lotus position. He could easily identify mana from other energies flowing in his body now, so he directed the mana toward his root chakra.

A success with small sacrifice
