Eight years ago, ECLIPSE—the world's first neural-immersion connection game—launched. But the moment it booted up, it swallowed reality whole. Its rules overwrote the world, and humanity went from being players to being survivors in a genuine fight for their lives. Death was no longer a respawn button you could press after logging off; it meant permanent deletion once your resurrection count ran dry. Ethan led the survivors through eight years of brutal combat, and finally slew the world-tier boss, Nidhogg the Void Dragon. The kill dropped a mythic-tier item capable of rewriting the world's very rules—the Dragon Core. Yet just as humanity's hope seemed within reach, the two comrades he trusted most, Marcus and Rachel, chose betrayal. To seize control of the Dragon Core, Marcus drove a blade through Ethan's chest himself. In his final moment, Ethan finally understood: everything he'd fought so hard to protect had long been manipulated by a conspiracy hidden in the shadows. But the Dragon Core never acknowledged Marcus. The instant Ethan died, it triggered an unknown power—and rolled the entire world back eight years. When Ethan opened his eyes again, he was back in the final few hours before ECLIPSE's launch. Having lived through the apocalypse once, he knew exactly how the world would change that night, and precisely which resources, which people, which opportunities would decide the future. He claimed the legendary Founder's Chip ahead of everyone else, awakened a power he had never possessed in his previous life, and discovered that the Dragon Core—returned to him across time—was already bending the game's rules.

In the middle of the night, my husband started talking in his sleep. "My little treasure, Daddy's taking you and Mommy to the new house tomorrow." But we were using protection. Where the hell did a kid come from? So I opened his phone. I saw the money transfers to another woman—spent on all kinds of luxury shit and a house. The photo album had pictures of her in a skimpy stripper outfit, a little bump in her belly. The last one was an ultrasound. Four months along, it looked like. I didn't make a sound. Just saved the evidence. They were about to learn the price of betraying a mafia princess.
