Reborn as an Eight-Year-Old with a Golden Finger

#Your future is bright. You don't have to end up 'abandoned by everyone' like me.#

In her previous life, Wu Qizhao and her teammates were manipulated by Doctor Li and the higher-ups. In the end, they defeated the Zombie King and brought the apocalypse to an end.

But heroes who return home rarely get a happy ending.

She and her loved ones were abandoned in a pile of zombies about to be burned. A dagger was stuck in her chest, the very one she'd used to kill the Zombie King.

At the instant before her death, her obsession summoned a Salvation System.

Wu Qizhao bound herself to the Salvation System and was randomly reborn at a time before the apocalypse.

But something went wrong in the time tunnel.

*

The main System fell into a deep sleep after saving her from the time tunnel, and the sub-system it left behind often went offline.

The sub-system's emotionless explanation kept echoing in her ears.

Wu Qizhao's dazed gaze fell on the gray, dusty concrete road.

She followed the pitch-black passage, quickly drifting toward the far corner of the basement, where her gaze settled on a small figure.

This was the first time she'd seen her eight-year-old self from a third-person perspective.

Little Qizhao was crouching by the door, her arms wrapped around her knees, looking expectantly toward the only source of light.

She slowly approached, swallowing back her sobs. With the gentlest voice she'd ever used, she gradually earned little Qizhao's trust.

She became the invisible friend little Qizhao couldn't see.

*

Wu Qizhao bound herself to little Qizhao, becoming her one-of-a-kind golden finger.

Through her eyes, she witnessed the truth of the apocalypse and the heart of the betrayal that had left her abandoned by everyone in her previous life.

Over the next ten years, she and little Qizhao worked together to change the tragic fates of her friends from her previous life.

This time, the first bolt of lightning that heralded the apocalypse never struck.

*

On little Qizhao's eighteenth birthday, Wu Qizhao looked around at the friends and family gathered around her, and at the little cake in their midst.

She had saved little Qizhao, and she had saved herself.
