The next morning, I woke up already knowing what was waiting for me. My system window flared to life the second my eyes opened.
[NOTICE: GUILD WAR EVENT ANNOUNCED. PREPARATIONS BEGIN NOW.]
Yeah. Called it.
I dismissed it and rolled myself out of bed, stretching my arms until my back cracked. Seven days. Everything I did now had to count. No wasted movements, no wasted minutes.
My stomach grumbled, so I headed out, taking the familiar route toward the Goddess Shrine.
On the way there, past memories led like instinct going towards the same stalls I used to visit all the time in the old timeline.
My feet practically knew the path without my brain needing to think.
The baker recognized me. "Morning, Leonhart!"
