The year is 2026. One ordinary winter morning, the world suddenly begins freezing. Temperatures drop every day, snow falls without stopping, roads disappear beneath massive layers of ice, and food becomes increasingly difficult to find. In Ren Draven's first life, he was known as one of the kindest people in his neighborhood. He had prepared a huge amount of food and allowed his crush Akari Mizuno, Akari's selfish mother May, Lucas Bennett, and many of his neighbors to stay inside his home when the apocalypse became unbearable. Ren gave them food, drinks, warmth, and shelter without asking for anything in return. But when supplies became scarce, kindness disappeared. The people Ren trusted became selfish. They fought over his supplies, turned against him, and eventually betrayed him, leaving Ren to die despite everything he had done for them. Then Ren opened his eyes. He had returned to the past. One minute before the apocalypse began. This time, Ren possessed an extraordinary ability called Unlimited Void Storage. He could store an infinite amount of supplies without worrying about space or spoilage. Anything he placed inside would remain perfectly preserved, and whenever he became hungry or thirsty, he only needed to think about what he wanted before it appeared in his hand. Ren immediately began preparing. He filled his storage with more than sixty million meals, countless drinks, medicine, clothing, blankets, tools, fuel, and emergency supplies. His new home was also completely secure. Bullet-resistant windows, reinforced doors, powerful heating, independent electricity, water filtration, security cameras, and multiple emergency systems made the house almost impossible for ordinary survivors to break into. Ren remembered every person who had betrayed him. Akari was still living nearby with her mother May and Lucas. May remained selfish and demanding, while Lucas was confident and arrogant.

The year is 2030. Eclipse Lotus Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in the world, is hosting an exclusive corporate gala. The event is organized by Zlovix Corporation, the world's second-largest company. Over twenty major CEOs have been invited, including Ren Draven and Akari Mizuno, owners of the second-ranked company and longtime rivals of Eclipse Lotus Corporation. Eclipse Lotus remains the world's richest company, earning an unbelievable $100 trillion annually. Its CEO is completely anonymous, and nobody outside the company knows their identity. Inside the enormous ballroom, every reserved seat has a CEO's name displayed on it. One by one, luxurious cars arrive at the entrance as CEOs from around the world enter the packed hotel. Everyone has arrived... Except the mysterious CEO of Eclipse Lotus.

The year is 2030. In a world dominated by massive corporations, money and reputation can determine a person's social status. Ren Draven, 19, is the young CEO of Lumaris Corporation, ranked #10 among the world's largest companies. Despite being the CEO, Ren earns only $100,000 a month and lives a relatively ordinary college life. His girlfriend, Akari Mizuno, 19, works as his assistant while attending Eclipse Lotus College with him. One afternoon, Ren and Akari sit with their friends Kael, Lyra, Sofia, Maya, and Jake when Michael suddenly steps in front of the class. Michael: "Tonight, everyone's invited to Eclipse Lotus Hotel. Be there by 8. Eat whatever you want." Michael is the CEO secretary of Zlovix Corporation, the world's #2 company. Earning $2 million a year, he's arrogant and sees the event as a chance to build his reputation.

The world is filled with people born with extraordinary abilities, and strength determines a person's rank. At Astralis Academy, every new student must undergo the Ability Revelation Ceremony. Inside the training ground stands an ancient crystal capable of revealing a person's unique power and potential. The Headmaster, an SSS-Rank mage who possesses the terrifying Void ability, watches over the ceremony. One by one, the students step forward. Eventually, only Ren remains.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven suddenly awakens with memories of a previous life, remembering the zombie apocalypse that is about to destroy the world. But this time, Ren receives a strange ability: anything he names as food instantly appears in his hand, allowing him to create limitless meals and supplies. As the outbreak begins, Ren retreats to his apartment. Soon, Akari, his girlfriend, arrives with Lucas, Lyra, Sofia, Luke, and Kael. Ren doesn't know that Akari's feelings for him aren't genuine—she has always been interested in his money, and now she plans to rely on his food supply to survive. Ren, completely unaware, welcomes everyone inside.

The year is 998, in a world ruled by magic and power. Astralis Academy is holding its annual 2v2 tournament, bringing together students ranked from F to S. Ren Draven is an F-Rank student—the weakest person in the academy. Despite his lack of power, he's arrogant, lazy, and constantly tries to act impressive. His girlfriend and childhood friend, Akari Mizuno, is an SS-Rank powerhouse. She's extremely jealous and protective, refusing to let other girls get too close to Ren. Above every student stands the Headmaster, the world's only SSS-Rank being and a figure considered practically divine. But hidden beyond the academy, a dangerous SSS-Rank villain is preparing to make his move.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven is a 29-year-old man living a struggling life in Eclipse City. He wears simple shirts and pants and barely has enough money to cover his expenses. Whenever his income arrives, however, Ren quickly spends it gambling, convinced that his next bet will make him rich. Arrogant and stubborn, he constantly searches for new ways to make money and frequently takes out loans to gamble again after losing. At night, Ren loves going to expensive-looking parties, even when he can barely afford them. Despite constantly losing money, Ren refuses to give up on gambling.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven and his best friend Kael Ashbourne were ordinary young men living in the modern world. One night, while traveling together, their car was involved in a sudden accident. When they opened their eyes again, everything had changed. They were lying in a vast forest beneath an unfamiliar sky. There were no cars, buildings, or phones anywhere. Instead, they discovered a world filled with kingdoms, villages, adventurer guilds, monsters, dungeons, and magic. Before they could understand what had happened, a glowing interface appeared before each of them. But their systems were completely different. [System Activated.] [New Quest Available.] Their first reward? 100 Gold Coins.

The year is 2026. It's a quiet Friday evening in Eclipse City. Ren Draven has invited a few of his closest friends to his apartment for a game night. The plan is simple: pizza, snacks, drinks, and a game of Extreme Truth or Dare. Everyone knows the game can lead to hilarious, awkward, and unexpected moments, but nobody is willing to back out. As the group gathers around the living room table, Ren places a bottle in the centre of the circle with a mischievous grin. "The rules are simple," he says. "No lying, no skipping, and everyone has to accept whatever they choose."

The year is 2026. Eclipse Lotus High School is preparing for its weekly P.E. lesson. Class 3-A is known for its lively students, constant rivalries, and close friendships. Among them is Ren Draven, a 19-year-old student with messy black hair, brown eyes, and a relaxed personality. His best friend since childhood is Kael Ashbourne. The two have been inseparable for years and are often seen together around school. As the morning class comes to an end, the P.E. teacher walks through the classroom door with today's announcement.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven is a 24-year-old office worker living alone in a small apartment in Eclipse City. After graduating from university, he found a job at Eclipse Company, earning just $1,000 a month. Between rent, bills, and groceries, he has very little money left and often struggles to make ends meet. Ren has messy dark hair, brown eyes, and usually wears a plain white T-shirt with dark pants whenever he's home. A year ago, his girlfriend, Akari Mizuno, ended their relationship after falling in love with a wealthy millionaire named Lucas. Since then, Ren has quietly moved on with his life, focusing on work and trying not to dwell on the past. The only person who has always stayed by his side is his best friend, Kael Ashbourne, who never judged Ren for his financial situation and continues to support him through every hardship.

The continent of Aetheria is divided into powerful kingdoms, each sending its greatest students to Astralis Academy, the most prestigious magic academy in the world. Every five years, the academy hosts the Grand Inter-Kingdom Tournament, where legendary warriors, gifted mages, witches, and heroes compete for glory. This year, the tournament welcomes many of the world's strongest fighters, including Lucas, Jack, and the legendary witches. Among the competitors is Ren Draven and his group of friends, who hope to prove themselves against opponents whose power has already become legend. As thousands gather inside the Grand Arena, the Headmaster steps onto the stage with a smile. "The Grand Tournament... begins today!"

The continent of Aetheria is a land where overwhelming magic decides everything. Powerful kingdoms, ancient witches, immortal beings, and legendary warriors constantly clash for control of the world. Among the strongest is Lucas, a 19-year-old with short white hair and crimson eyes. Exceptionally powerful and unbelievably arrogant, he considers himself the most handsome man alive. He already has seventy-eight wives and is always searching for another woman he considers beautiful enough to join them. His greatest rival—and closest friend—is Jack, an immortal reality warper whose abilities can reshape the world itself with a thought. Standing against them are three legendary witches: Mine, who commands living shadows; Ashley, who wields radiant light; and Ari, master of devastating flames. Far away from these legends lives Ren Draven, an ordinary young adventurer who dreams of protecting others. Alongside his friends, he is about to be pulled into a conflict far beyond anything he imagined.

Years ago, Ren Draven was suddenly transported from Earth into a mysterious fantasy world. He arrived with no magic, no special combat skills, and no understanding of the world around him. Soon, he discovered a terrifying ability. Whenever he dies, time rewinds to a mysterious save point, while only Ren keeps his memories of every timeline. Each death is real. Each wound is remembered. Each failure stays with him alone. His greatest secret is protected by a mysterious curse. If Ren ever attempts to reveal his ability, the curse immediately activates. The person who hears the truth has their heart crushed instantly by an unseen force, making it impossible for Ren to tell anyone about his power. Knowing the cost, Ren carries the burden in silence, reliving countless lives while searching for a future where everyone can survive.

The year is 2026. Haruto Kazehara is an 18-year-old college dropout with no money, no job, and no direction in life. He's known for slacking off, getting into trouble, and constantly daydreaming instead of taking responsibility. One rainy evening, while wandering the streets with barely enough money to buy dinner, Haruto is struck by a speeding truck. When he opens his eyes again... He's no longer on Earth. Instead, he finds himself lying in the middle of an unfamiliar forest beneath a sky filled with two moons. He still remembers everything from his previous life. Before he can make sense of what's happening, a glowing blue screen suddenly appears in front of him. **[System Activated.]** **[Welcome, Host.]** **[Initializing New World Survival System...]**

The year is 2026. Despite being only 18 years old, Ren Draven and Akari Mizuno are known throughout the business world as two of the youngest CEOs in history. Ren is the CEO of Draven Global, the world's number one company, with a personal fortune exceeding 500 billion dollars. Akari is the CEO of Eclipse Lotus Corporation, the world's second-largest company, with a fortune of over 500 billion dollars herself. Although their companies compete fiercely in business, Ren and Akari have been dating since high school. To maintain a normal life, they both attend Eclipse Lotus College together while keeping their relationship and business rivalry separate from campus life. Outside of work, they're simply a young couple trying to balance college, billion-dollar companies, and their relationship.

The year is 2026. A worldwide economic collapse left nearly everyone struggling to survive. Families lost their savings, businesses closed, and money became incredibly scarce. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, carefully saving every coin they earn. Only one person seems untouched by the crisis. Ren Draven. An 18-year-old student whose investments, businesses, and inheritance made him unimaginably wealthy long before the collapse. While others worry about their next meal, Ren can buy almost anything he wants without thinking twice. His fortune has made him the center of attention. Some admire him. Some want to befriend him. Others can't hide their envy. Every day, Ren wonders whether people like him for who he is... or only because of his wealth.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven is the only son of the Draven family, owners of Draven Global, the richest and most influential company in the world. His family's wealth reaches into the trillions, but almost nobody knows who he really is. Tired of being treated differently because of his last name, Ren secretly transfers to Eclipse Lotus High School under a normal identity. He wears inexpensive clothes, lives in a small apartment provided by his family, and only carries a small allowance to avoid drawing attention. To everyone else, Ren is just another broke high school student struggling to afford lunch. Only his childhood friend, Akari Mizuno, knows the truth. The two made a promise years ago to keep Ren's identity a secret, no matter what happens.

The year is 2026. Ren Draven and Akari Mizuno first met when they were six years old after becoming classmates in elementary school. From that day on, they were almost always together, growing from childhood friends into a couple during high school. Everything seemed perfect. At least, that's what everyone believed. When they started college, they met Kael Ashbourne, a charismatic and popular student who quickly became friends with both of them. As time passed, Akari and Kael began spending more and more time together. Eventually, they started secretly dating behind Ren's back. What neither of them realized was that Ren had already figured it out. He noticed the late-night messages, the repeated excuses, the sudden disappearances, and the way they looked at each other. Yet Ren never confronted them. He continued smiling, talking, and acting as if nothing had changed. To Akari and Kael, it looked like Ren suspected nothing. But behind his calm expression... He knew everything.

The year is 998. Magic rules the world, and strength decides everything. Astralis Academy is the greatest academy on the continent, producing heroes, knights, and legendary mages.

Known as the weakest student in the entire world, Ren has never won a duel and constantly relies on others to survive. Despite that, he's cold, sarcastic, and enjoys provoking stronger students whenever he gets the chance. Standing above everyone are Akari Mizuno and Kael Ashbourne, the academy's strongest students and the continent's most famous couple. Watching from the royal balcony is Lyra Astralis, Crown Princess of the Astralis Kingdom and owner of Astralis Academy. The tournament is about to begin.
