"Before the towers fell, before everything was consumed by darkness..."

Leo Astralis whispered to himself while traversing through the rubble of the ancient structure. 

His body bore the scars of survival, bite marks that throbbed against the coarse, blood-stiffened fabric of his clothing.

"...I wonder what the world was like."

After humanity failed to complete the Tower almost 700 years ago in time, it exploded, spreading monsters all over the word.

Even the system, which blessed humans with power, had abandoned them. Or did it?

[Run]

A singular message urged Leo to escape, yet it was short lived as was he was caught like an animal in a trap.

And just like an animal he lashed out until the very end, taking one of the captors to the grave with him.

But as darkness closed in, the system spoke again.

[One time Regression activated]
[Congratulations. You've activated the Heart of the System]

Re-Awakening with the Summoner's Class

"It's just like you said, Mr. Leo..."

It was a pretty nice feeling to be called that the first few times.

However, it quickly wore off and he just felt embarrassed now.

The head of security continued while giving a slight nod at Leo's reflection in the car's back mirror.

He handed a hefty file with red words 'REDACTED' on it.

All three of them looked at what was inside as he opened it.

A bunch of papers with the faces of civilians fell out.

Almost all of them had either 'Dead' or 'In critical condition' written down.

The only piece of paper without any of the faces was a picture of an ogre on it.

"An Ogre gate broke free in the southern regions of China, you might have not heard about it since their government covered it to the best of their abilities. But ever since news about it began to circulate between normal people, the public got a bit... hard to talk to."
