The night was colder than usual. A sharp wind howled through the empty streets, carrying with it the echoes of a life that once meant everything… and now meant nothing. Li Xuan stood alone under the flickering streetlight, his eyes hollow, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his skin.
"Was it all… meaningless?"
His voice trembled, not from fear—but from regret. He had given everything—time, effort, loyalty, love. And in return? Betrayal.
The memories replayed again and again in his mind like a broken recording—the moment he was humiliated during the interview, the moment they looked down on him like he was nothing, and worst of all—the girl he loved standing beside someone else, laughing… as if he had never existed.
"If I had one more chance…" he whispered, his voice cracking, "I would change everything."
A sudden silence fell. The wind stopped. The world… froze.
[Ding!]
A cold, mechanical voice echoed inside his mind.
[Infinite Immortal System Activated.]
Li Xuan's eyes widened.
"What… is this?"
[Host detected: Li Xuan]
[Regret Level: Maximum]
[Compatibility: Perfect]
A faint glow surrounded his body. The pain, the sorrow, the anger—everything began to transform… into power.
[Welcome, Host…]
[This time… you will not fail.]
Li Xuan slowly raised his head. The emptiness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a cold, unshakable determination.
"The past… will not repeat itself."
His voice was calm now. Cold. Different. The weak version of him had died in that moment. What stood there now… was someone reborn.
And just like that—his fate was rewritten. No—this time, he would rewrite it himself.
