He remembers how the world ended. Now he’s got twenty years to stop it—and a Chaos Core that may or may not want to kill him.*

Aiden Pandragon was just another student at Arcadia Academy… until everything fell apart.

Monsters. War. A secret enemy pulling strings behind the scenes. Humanity was crushed, and Aiden had a front-row seat to the end of the world.

Then he woke up twenty years in the past—with all his memories, a ticking Chaos Core, and a second shot at changing everything.

Now, he’s back at square one, pretending to be a normal first-year while quietly rewriting the future. He’s recruiting allies before they’re lost, uncovering secrets before they’re buried, and leveling up faster than anyone should. So what if it makes him look a little suspicious?

Sure, he’s fighting off Red Gates, manipulating stock markets, and getting caught in way too many near-death experiences—but hey, end-of-the-world problems call for end-of-the-world solutions.

Time’s ticking. Enemies are watching. And if Aiden wants to survive round two, he’ll need to outwit fate itself.

Because this time…  
**He’s not going down with the world.**
