Player 0.4 [You have died.] [Reset in progress.]

The battle against the Kobar Empire was utterly lost, and I lay dying when a strange blue screen appeared.

[ You have been identified as having the aptitude needed to be a Player. Would you like to reset the game and try again? ]

"A game?"

I laughed. Blood spilled out of my mouth and ran down my neck.

"I don't know if this is some weird near-death hallucination… but if I have a chance to reset everything and save everyone I cared about… of course, I damn well accept."

[ Reset in progress. ]

[ Beginning Round 2. ]

[ Error. Partial Player. ]

[ Active Players: 0.4 ]

** If you're looking for a story with a MC who starts out very strong or very clever, this ain't it. Luca is neither. Luca is weak AF and... an idiot.

** Luca will also die. A lot. It's a time-loop story. But with enough game resets (ahem, deaths), Luca will learn and grow, so there's hope for him yet.

** This is a slow-burning and character-driven novel. It's also going to be long.
