I Regret Saving the World… So This Time, I’ll Do It My Way

Darian Veyne saved the world… and lost everything.



His best friend, his comrades, the kind townsfolk who once shared their warmth—every single person who fought by his side against the World Ender perished. In the end, he stood alone, victorious but broken, drowning in regret. As he took his final breath, his only wish was to go back—to fix everything.



And then… he opened his eyes.



Thrown back a year before the apocalypse, Darian refuses to make the same mistakes. This time, he won’t be a hero. No more selfless sacrifices. No more fighting for a world that took everything from him. Instead, he’ll amass power, hoard resources, and protect only those who truly matter. He’ll save as many as he can—but when it comes to the World Ender, he’ll leave that battle to another so-called "hero."



But fate isn’t so easily rewritten.



The more Darian changes the future, the more the apocalypse twists into something unrecognizable. Unexpected enemies rise, terrifying anomalies spread, and a shadow even darker than the World Ender begins to stir.



By refusing to play the hero, has he doomed the world to an even worse fate?
