A week later, each of her six closest friends receives an anonymous message exposing a secret only Rhea knew—and hinting that the “accident” was engineered. � As they retrace the festival hour minute by minute, they uncover camera blind spots, altered logs, and overlapping alibis that only make one thing clear: every one of them unknowingly helped set up the perfect crime. Told in tense, first‑person chapters that rotate between the friends, the story follows their descent from shared grief into suspicion, as memories warp under pressure and the question shifts from “Who killed Rhea?” to “What did we do to make it possible?”

MC reincarnates in the world of Naruto with the ability to control time that allows him to time-travel, it will help him survive but not make him strong directly. To survive in the dangerous world of shinobi, MC must rely on his own capabilities and build up his own strength himself, as he doesn’t have any bloodline or exceptional talent to rely on. Story starts slowly and MC will not become OP any time soon, but he will work all the way up to the top eventually. If you prefer novels where MC is strong from the start – this is not it. Same goes for people who love when MC starts with a “perfect unbeatable OP cheat” - this is not it; Time Control ability has potential, but it won’t make MC strong directly. --- This is the restart of my original fic “Naruto: Time Traveler” (on wn and rr) that was abandoned a year ago due to some problems irl at the time. Now I decided to return to writing but after reading the original work I have concluded that its quality is very lacking and I should rewrite all of it from the start instead of continuing it, so here we are. Some things from my original fic will be changed, and the story will go a little bit differently than it was there, but the core of the story will follow the same outline as it was in the original fic, not entirely but for the most part. --- No harem. Probably no romance either (not decided yet). 100% Original, no AI is being used in any way. Chapters 1500+ words. Updates approximately 1 chapter in 2-3 days. Advanced chapters available on Patreon/SycoreNovels

Evan Cole logged in expecting a game. What he woke up in did not allow logging out. There were no tutorials. No safety nets. No second chances. Death was permanent, and survival came without instructions. At first, Evan believed he was trapped inside a broken system. Then he learned the truth. The world was functioning exactly as designed. As Evan adapts, he survives not by strength or luck, but by understanding how pressure shapes people—how repetition replaces choice, how efficiency erases hesitation, and how systems reward those willing to carry the cost. Villages do not fall screaming. They quiet. They stabilize. They continue. And the more Evan succeeds, the more the world asks of him. Because in Eidolon Realms, survival is not proof of virtue. It is a test of what you are willing to become when the system stops asking for permission. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It’s about what survives when power starts asking for payment. The start can be a bit generic but please read till chapter 35. Kind criticism is welcome. One Chapter Daily!!
