They say memory is what makes us human. If so, who does one become when their memory vanishes every fifteen years? Greg looks like an ordinary teenager. He is over four hundred years old, but he looks fifteen. He possesses power capable of warping space, but he uses it to lazily pull an apple towards himself. He is Greg. And that is the only thing he knows for sure. Greg has a secret: every 15 years, his life resets. His memory is wiped clean, and his body turns into a living timer, where the color of his hair and eyes counts down the time until the next oblivion. Now the timer has started anew. Greg woke up with a blank mind, with a frightening blackness in eyes that do not belong to him. His only clue is an old notebook and a feeling that he has forgotten something vitally important. But Greg isn't panicking. After all, his motto is: "If a problem can't be solved, who cares."

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 150+ chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
