I Am the Only Testimony from the World After Its Destruction

Lin Xiao is a warehouse manager. Day after day, he moves and counts goods, eats instant noodles, and sleeps. Life is like a stack of toilet paper, with nothing much happening. The apocalypse came without warning. A purple sky pressed down, monsters crawled out of cracks in the earth, and the city crumbled overnight. Old Chen pulled him from the rubble, and he joined the guard unit, starting at the very bottom with logistical odd jobs: hauling ammunition, cooking meals, and bandaging wounds. In time, he became the guy on the team who was only good for passing out bullets. Then he gained the ability to rewind time. Countless times, he watched his teammates die before his eyes, and countless times, he turned back the clock, trying to save everyone on the next run. In the final battle, the entire team sacrificed themselves, and he shattered the “Heart” at the cost of his right arm. A voice gave him two choices: be remembered by everyone as a hero, or return the world to the time before it all began, with everyone alive, but no one remembering him. He chose the latter. Now he sits on a rooftop, smoking as he watches the bustling city, his empty sleeve swaying in the wind. No one knows what he did, but he will always remember them.
