[The RETURNER FANTASY system has been granted to you in response to your dying wish]

[Initiating regression in 3... 2... 1...]

That was the voice Jeff heard in the final moments of his life—just before death claimed him. Or at least, that's how he remembers it, now that he's woken up twelve years in the past.

Back to the moment when he still had a chance to change everything he thought had gone wrong.

Forget the incurable disease. Forget the mystery of how he regressed. Forget even the holographic screen flashing in the corner of his vision.

What matters now is the quest he's on—and the girl he's running toward.

She had stayed by his side even when he had nothing. She forgave him for the foolishness that had torn them apart.

She was there in his final moments, when regret overwhelmed him for never telling her how he truly felt.

This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake. This time, he'd protect her—no matter what. Even if it cost him his life… or someone else's.

[Quest 23 – 18th Birthday Celebration]


[Objective – Celebrate Veena's 18th birthday away from her family]


The celebration party continued as the clock slowly approached midnight, and the countdown of Quest 23 came down to an hour left.


Jeff thought that Quest 23 would be completed as the day of Veena's 18th birthday came to an end, thinking that all he had to do was keep Veena at their home—away from her family, her mother, stepfather, and stepbrothers—until the countdown reached zero.


A gunshot echoed from the street, silencing everyone's cheers and praises, leaving only the music playing—until even that was overwhelmed by a loud shout that followed the gunfire.
