This time, the system didn’t pretend to be dead.
Instead, it played extremely dramatic background music inside her mind.
Finished
“I love you walking alone on dark streets. Nove how you refuse to kneel. I love you facing despair without
tears.”
Maya was speechless.
That was unbearable.
Maya told it to shut off the music.
The system said, “I only wanted to make you feel better.
“Do you know? Every time you die, you look so sad.”
Maya fell quiet.
Sad?
What had I been thinking before I died?
She had been thinking about why she couldn’t become stronger.
She was afraid that even after ten thousand repetitions, she still wouldn’t be able to save Alfred.
He would still die.
Just like in the script.
Maya could not suppress the rising fear in her heart. She feared that repeating everything again and again would still end with her losing everyone.
The system quickly tried to reassure her.
“Maya, don’t be afraid. You are the protagonist, As you grow stronger, I will gain more control over the rules.
“Even if you cannot kill him now, your strength will increase very quickly with each reset.
“Soon, we will be able to freely choose when to reset instead of being tied to a single day.”
That did sound like a strong advantage.
But the issue was…
Maya said flatly. “If I am the protagonist, why is he so hard to kill?”
The system went silent again.

After a moment, it said, “Actually, whenever any version of you in any timeline obtains Bliss, some of my restrictions weaken.
That was the benefit reserved for the protagonist.
It was just that, up to now, in every timele, its host had remained unlucky.
Maya asked, “There are other timelines?”
The system replied, “The universe is still. Each timeline has different stories, so the endings are also different.”
Maya responded with a soft “oh.”
Countless versions of herself, countless endings.
Then she would become the Maya who obtained Bliss.
She would work toward it.
She took a deep breath and forced all her emotions down.
She said, “Again.”
Again and again..
Endlessly repeated.
Maya experienced every form of death.
Her throat cut by a blade, her neck snapped, thrown from a height, shot down by bullets.
Eventually, she became completely numb to fear.
She treated the day like a dungeon and repeatedly ground through it.
She refused to accept that she couldn’t kill him.
Again.
Snowfinch looked at the girl who appeared once more and felt an inexplicable irritation.
But he had not done anything unusual.
Still, that feeling lingered.
Without thinking, he asked, “Aren’t you tired? After so many times?”
Maya froze.

For a moment, the wind passed through the ruins of the abandoned site, creating a hollow sound.
She met his gaze and Teka chill run down her spine.
From Snowfinch’s perspective, this should have been their first encounter.
Then…
So what did “so many times” mean?
Maya was truly shocked.
“What are you talking about?”
Snowfinch also regained his composure, realizing his words were Strange.
He changed the topic, standing with one hand in his pocket and looking at her coldly.
“I cannot understand why you came here.

“You cannot beat me,” Snowfinch said. “Is stepping into death entertaining? Or are you not afraid of dying?”
Death was not only about pain.
The fear of death was deeper in the mind than physical suffering.
Maya had already grown tired of that face.
She said with a pale face, “You have your choices. I have my reasons.”
It was not that she was fearless.
Fear was instinct.
Maya was more afraid of death than anyone else.
The one who truly seemed unafraid was Snowfinch.
After countless battles, repeated predictions and numerous attempts, she had finally found a way to kill
him.
But at the crucial moment, this man always dragged her into mutual destruction.
Maya had died alongside him many times.
After another shared death, she weakly cursed in her mind.
Only…
Unlike previous deaths where she was alone, just before her consciousness faded, she saw someone she

never expected.
She saw Alfred.
His face was pale, slightly twisted by panic.
She had never seen him like this before.
The always composed Alfred knelt beside her, holding her, his body trembling.
His voice broke near her ear.
“Maya…”
Before her death, in that fading moment, a tear fell from his face.
A tear.
It was the first time Maya had seen Alfred cry.

In all her memories, he had always been the one protecting her. She had never seen him cry.
Finished
But now he knelt there, hands stained with her blood, face covered in tears, completely broken by fear.
