as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”.
now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably.

this is technically a time loop novel.
the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people.
i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen.

Every time he tries, he fails. Without fail (ironically enough), Durest cannot win the war. There are simply too many obstacles: the Arnacians, the Esterlings, the Djinns, the "Great Prince Brudis" (who was, in Durest's humble opinion, only 'great' at being an annoying bastard), and the damned "Crimson Mage" Anin. The latter of whom would beat Durest every single time, no matter how much he changed his tactics. Finally, he decides enough is enough. Durest launches a last-ditch attempt at beating his enemies, playing all of his cards and holding nothing back. Time will only tell if he is successful in his endeavors...... more>>

As the noxious fumes belch from the city's underbelly, they find themselves ensnared in a merciless temporal loop, each one meeting their demise in an unyielding sequence only to be reborn again afterward.

Gloveer Sibjaan (53), one of the Salt Barons of Vara has been having trouble this past year. ... more>>

Matters at home are chaotic. Isbrun, Gloveer’s eldest isn’t shaping up as the heir he should have been and Gloveer’s other 3 children have issues of their own their father has to deal with.

Even worse, dark clouds cover the horizon, and the abnormal rains are a damper on the salt trade. Shipments are irregular these days and there isn’t much sympathy for a salt baron without money.

Even at the best of times, the hawks were never friends to the mercantile barons and naval faction. They become bolder and ruder as Vara’s ally and neighbour Aaljau gears up for war against the So Empire once more. The front looks desperate this time, even Gloveer has to admit, as the So buy the full support of the recently formed Princips United to the North to support their campaign.

But even occupation of the Diostejan Peninsula by its historic foe might not be the true threat. As the skies change in Vara, so do the animals in the woods. Tales of leviathans surfacing in the seas reach Vara from far ranging fisherman. Worse, reports of Princips soldiers flinging fire from their hands lower the morale of the Varan council.

As Gloveer wonders how to keep his mercantile interests afloat until his second son can come of age, a letter arrives for him with a cryptic warning from a familiar name: his own. <<less
