Leon_Life_or_Death

My name is Arlo Templeton. Just a guy trying to live a life where I can forget my past.

In a world where mages wield magic to showcase their power and advanced technology commands Cybers robots, hovering cars, and Ray Guns to reign supreme, I am an outsider. It feels like I’ve stopped moving forward while time relentlessly marches on.

Suddenly, the cave exploded, crushing me to death. But death didn’t come. Instead, I found myself back at that morning.

Then, I gained System ability.

Now what?

Do I live in regret anymore? I've lost too much in my life—my family, my ambition, my peace, my happiness. I’m afraid that if I move forward, I'll lose even more in the future. Will this system save or kill the people I want to protect?

Bound by unseen chains of despair, Arlo was rooted to the spot, his gaze locked onto the portraits. He felt like a specter—there, yet not quite, a ghost trapped in a world of the living.

Among the marked photos, one remained untouched; it was of Remi cradling a baby. As he watched, a blood-red cross began to materialize at the edges, creeping inwards like a predator stalking its prey. Witnessing this,
