Plagued by indecision and guilt, Arthur has fallen into the chasms of despair and depression, trying to come to terms with the consequences of his actions.

His friends tell him that it wasn't his fault, his therapist that he should leave the past behind him and his colleagues that he can change nothing. But Arthur knows better. After all, no one knows what he's done. No one knows the life he's lived.

But just six months after the loss that would change his life forever, Arthur is given a second chance. Redemption. The world has changed; evolved, and with it has come the intangible and esoteric energy of Ether, as well as the system that governs it.

With new rules to live by and a path to redemption before him, Arthur now has a way to right his wrongs. At least he thinks so. After all, nothing is quite impossible when you can rewrite reality itself.

He'll do anything he can to redeem himself.

Note: The primary issue I've seen that some may have with my story, is the main character's apparent disregard for his magical aptitude in the earlier chapters. This is a temporary issue and the MC will make ether his primary focus.

Also, for those wondering, the litRPG mechanics make their true appearance for the MC in chapter 10, for those who are too impatient to wait and see.
