Reborn with a Causality Engine

On May 4, 2030, a sudden "Dark Corrosion" anomaly erupts across Blue Star. Steel melts into slime, humans go mad and tear into one another, and cities become hellscapes amid the screams.

Lu Chen lies in a pool of blood, watching his most trusted comrade, Lu Chen, drive a knife into his heart. It is the very knife he gave him as a birthday present three days ago.

"So... it was all planned from the start."

In the final moment before his consciousness fades, he hears the System's mechanical voice: "Host death detected. Causality Engine activated. Rebirth date: May 1, 2030. Revisions remaining: 3/3."

This time, Lu Chen grips the causal anchor in his palm.

Before the Dark Corrosion erupts, he will save Lin Xia, who was torn apart by the Corrupted. Before Lu Chen is possessed, he will expose those eyes that feign loyalty. More importantly, he will uncover the truth about the Dark Corrosion's energy: this so-called "cosmic disaster" is nothing more than a "survival game" devised by a higher civilization.
