But when the apocalypse ended, those people stole the credit that should have been mine and even brutally murdered me! I thought I would never get another chance. But I was unexpectedly reborn with the hourglass from my previous life, returning to the day before the virus outbreak. I also awakened the [Virus King System]. [Ding! Virus-Origin Physique detected.
