Lu Yezhou woke up from bed for the eleventh time, and the countdown appeared on the back of his left hand again: 23:59:47.
The last time he returned, he died under the claws of the B-class aberration in "Ghost Tower". At the last second before death, he saw the beast's attack trajectory - a blood-red line, pointing directly from the third joint of its right paw to his throat.
"This time, I won't hide from the mistake again."
He rolled out of bed and glanced at his sister's photo on the bedside table. The lower right corner of the photo had begun to turn yellow - that was the price of returning it. Every time he used it, his sister's memory of him became blurred.
Outside the door, a mission notification from the Dragon Vein Bureau sounded on time: "Temporary recruitment, all members of the E-class team 'Night Owl' will gather at the North District Flea Market in one hour."
Lu Yezhou picked up the alloy short knife that had only been repaired three times. On the handle was engraved a line that he had never said to anyone:
"The eleventh restart is also the last time."
