Synopsis
At 79, Adom is an old mage who has known nothing but illness and regret. When the world finally burns and all hope turns to ash, at the last beat of his fading heart, a mysterious being appears in the dimming light with a simple question:
"If you could try again, would you?"
What's left to lose when you've already lost everything?
A handshake seals the deal, and Adom wakes up on his old school grounds, sixty-five years in the past. When everything is still possible. A second chance with all his knowledge intact, his memories preserved, and his youth restored.
This time, Adom wants it all: to feast on food he's never had, to travel a world still full of wonder, to finally live the life he dreamed of. There's just, as always, one small catch—he needs to prevent the end of the world first.
But as Adom will soon discover, changing history might demand sacrifices even greater than watching it burn...
Updates: Once every two days.
The chapters can be a bit long, going anywhere from 3k to 8k words and more. The every-two-days release schedule allows me to maintain a consistent release schedule, so I guess the chapters length makes up for it, right? Any feedback is more than welcome, too. Hope you enjoy!
