Leo Vane was executed as a traitor. Three hundred engineers died in a temporal breach.The Empire called it an accident.The Patriot Guard called it justice. Then the System rewound him three days. He wakes before the catastrophe that will slaughter his team and tear open the world.This time he knows who betrays him.This time he knows how it ends. But the System knows too. Marked as an Anomaly, Leo becomes the target of military hunters, corporate kill teams, and a government that wants him erased. Every move he makes is tracked. Every deviation is logged. Every success forces the System to escalate. Worse, using his power costs him pieces of himself. Memories vanish.Sensation fades.The more he survives, the less human he becomes. If he hides, millions die.If he fights, the System adapts.If he exposes the truth, the Empire burns him again. This is not a second chance. It is a countdown. A progression LitRPG featuring a hunted protagonist, military escalation, adaptive system intelligence, and permanent consequences.
