Synopsis

Being reborn in this world isn't unusual. Every few years, one or two people return to a pivotal moment with memories of their previous lives. They're called “Returners,” and they're the most revered people in the city, because they know what the future holds: which stocks will rise, which projects will take off, and which old friends will betray them. In theory, Returners should be invincible, effortlessly successful, and able to trample the city beneath their feet. After Chen Du was reborn, he activated his System on his own while hovering at death's door. The System claimed to be the embodiment of Edge City's rules, but Chen Du's memories from his previous life told him this thing wasn't so simple. The Systems awakened by each generation of Returners varied in subtle ways, as though someone were constantly adjusting the formula.

Laid-Back Urban Slice of Life with a System

I'm looking for stories like "I Became the World's Richest Man by Fishing" and "At the Amusement Park, People Fly Ahead While Their Souls Chase Behind". The System should just support its Host with things like fishing, running a shop, or operating an amusement park.
