The world went silent.
Flames engulfed the twisted wreckage of the Lamborghini. The air was filled with smoke, sirens, and the unbearable wailing of metal. The fire brigade would arrive minutes later—but it was already too late.
Diogo Jota, one of Portugal's brightest stars and Liverpool's fiery forward, was gone.
He had just turned 28.
The football world stood still. Portugal mourned. Liverpool wept.
Only weeks before, he had lifted the Premier League trophy. Less than a month ago, he helped Portugal beat Spain in the Nations League final. He had married the love of his life, Isabela, in a quiet ceremony. A perfect season, capped by tragedy.
They called it fate.
But fate was about to be rewritten.
Unknown Dimension – Time: Unstable
He awoke into darkness. Not a physical darkness, but a stillness so complete, even thought moved sluggishly. He wasn't in pain. He wasn't in a body. He simply existed—adrift in the void.
Then, a voice.
Not loud. Not soft. Simply… inevitable.
"Your story ended too early, Diogo."
He tried to speak, but nothing came. Only his mind could react.
"You died before your purpose was fulfilled. But some destinies deserve resistance."
A flicker of golden light appeared before him. It warped into a screen. Lines of data scrolled across like a game interface.

"This is your second chance. A window of five months. No more."
The voice became sharper now. Less divine, more directive.
"You will be given a system. One that will unlock your truest potential—not just as a footballer, but as a force that defies mortality."
"Survive. Rise. Or fall again."
Diogo's mind screamed, "Why me?"
"Because the world isn't done with you yet."
The light flared—

Diogo gasped, nearly falling out of bed. Sweat soaked his shirt. He grabbed his phone.

He stared at the date. His breath caught.
This was real.
He leapt to his feet, raced to the window. Snow lined the rooftops. His apartment—the same one before he moved in with Isabela after the summer. Everything was exactly as it had been five months ago.
Then—

Diogo dropped to the floor, overwhelmed.
But inside him, something stirred—not fear, not confusion.
Resolve.
He had been given time. Power. Knowledge.

This time, he would become unstoppable.
This time… he would live.
