My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Damn it, I know he's strong, but the gap doesn't have to be this big, does it?" Li Kai, who was slowly waking up from the darkness, covered his arm and said with a look of lingering fear. He had just reached his ideal peak state, but he couldn't even withstand a single move. It turns out that dreams are just something to comfort oneself.

Hey, while I admit there's a lot to it, what you're saying is going to damage a lot of people's confidence! It's a negative attitude, and it needs to be corrected!

"I thought I could just go around it and be fine, but I didn't expect it to come looking for me. Does this mean the future is already predetermined? No, no, if that's the case, I should have died long ago!" Li Kai shook off the terrible thoughts in his mind and continued to ponder.

"What exactly is the reason? In the past, I always experienced death rollbacks due to my own reasons, but this time it's because of someone else, or rather, some unrelated person got involved."

"If it is really the so-called butterfly effect principle, then a small action will inevitably cause a big change."

"Let's assume that each of my resurrections affects the development of some things. Then, for the sake of stability, the world will definitely make corresponding changes to prevent my interference and bring the original development back on track."

"If that's the case, then I'm practically fighting against the world. Just thinking about it fills me with despair!" Thinking this, Li Kai could feel the world's deep malice towards him. Was it because he hadn't obediently followed the script of death that he encountered so many terrifying things? Were they all trying to kill him each time?

That's not right! Nobody would follow that script! Who would willingly go looking for death?!

Cough cough, aren't you one of them!

"No, it can't be like that. There might be another possibility." Sweating profusely, Li Kai dared not think any further. It was just too terrifying!

"Eliminating the first possibility, perhaps this hypothesis is also valid: the world after my death is no longer the same world as the world after my resurrection. That is, while my soul remains unchanged, I am in another parallel universe. Although it is the same people and the same things, things are different, so the trajectory of development will inevitably be different from before."

"According to the game's setting, there are different timeline branches, and each branch leads to a different ending, some good and some bad. Most of them end with the user's own death!" Li Kai wiped away a cold sweat. He seemed to be a failure, thinking about how many versions of himself he would have to kill. It all sounded so confusing. Let me calm down first!

For the first time, Li Kai conducted an extremely detailed analysis of his own abilities, and for the first time, he deeply reflected on them. However, all of this was of no use!

Then why are you spouting so much nonsense?! Do you think we're idiots? And don't block the view! The audience, in a fit of rage, started throwing rotten eggs at it.

"Damn! Thinking about it this way, it seems like I'm falling into a terrible vicious cycle." Although I've encountered many theories about these things online, it's really hard to accept when applied to myself.

"This is a bit tricky!" Li Kai, drenched in cold sweat, felt a chill run down his spine. He regretted not considering this issue in the first place; he was just asking for trouble!

"Right! Don't think about it, who cares about the possibilities! Right now, I just need to focus on the present—find a way to escape from there!" After trying to organize his thoughts, Li Kai came to this conclusion. Uh, isn't that obviously obvious?!

"Okay, let's go prepare breakfast first. There's no point in thinking about this stuff anyway!" Li Kai happily got up and went to prepare breakfast. Uh, why did the tone change so quickly? You're seriously insulting the intelligence of the masses!

Pshaw~ Don't try to scare me with exclamations!

"Mmm~~ It smells so good!" Yu Ruoxue, who was stretching, was attracted by a sudden fragrance.

"Are you awake? Then wash your face and get ready for dinner!" Li Kai, wearing an apron and carrying a plate, walked over. Hmm, he truly is a model stay-at-home husband of the new era!

This is utter nonsense! What kind of plot is this that makes absolutely no sense?!

"Ah~~ It smells so good!" Yu Ruoxue greedily stretched out her finger to touch the food on the plate.

"Thump!" Li Kai tapped her on the head, not too hard, not too soft.

"Ouch!" Yu Ruoxue pulled her small hand back and covered her head, pouting with a wronged expression. "Don't hit my head like that! It's obvious—"

"I already said I won't become stupid!" Li Kai retorted without any politeness. It's very impolite of you to interrupt someone like that!

"Huh? How did you know what I wanted to say?" Yu Ruoxue stared wide-eyed in surprise, saying incredulously.

"That's all you can say. Don't try to change the subject—wash your hands before eating and keep yourself at least clean!" Li Kai subtly brushed aside the issue and instead lectured her.

"It's okay, I'm perfectly clean anyway!" Yu Ruoxue waved her delicate pink hand, her fair arms gleaming in the sunlight, looking truly clean!

"Uh, that's no excuse for not washing your hands!" Looking at the spotless girl, Li Kai was momentarily speechless, finally managing a forced explanation. Damn, facing such a cute girl, you actually do something so unreasonable?

"You should have said so earlier, instead of getting physical!" Yu Ruoxue said ambiguously. The way the girl said it could easily be misunderstood. Cough cough, I think I've misunderstood again.

"It's all my fault"

"Hey, how come you know this place so well? Have you been here before?"

"You'll remember them after walking around a lot; after all, roads are designed pretty much the same everywhere," Li Kai explained, seemingly making sense. Uh, this is clearly nonsense! Who would believe such a load of rubbish?

"Oh, I see!" Yu Ruoxue nodded to indicate that she understood. Hey, hey, don't always embarrass me at times like this, okay? Give me some face. By the way, did you really understand this utter nonsense with such a straight face?

"Here again?" Looking at the familiar surroundings, Li Kai said softly, "This time, I won't give you a chance to react."

"Huh? The road is blocked!" Yu Ruoxue, who was sitting on the other side, exclaimed in surprise.

"Fasten your seatbelts, get ready to sprint!" Li Kai stared intently ahead, slammed his right foot on the accelerator, and the roaring car sped past the corner like lightning.

"Roar!" In the instant he left, Li Kai roared angrily at the scarlet figure in the rearview mirror.

"Finally, I dodged it!" Looking at the shadow that had disappeared, Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the first possibility was just his wishful thinking.

"Why did it suddenly speed up! You could at least give me a warning!" Yu Ruoxue grumbled, clearly angry about his actions.

"Oh, I suddenly want to try some high-speed racing, isn't that exciting?" Li Kai joked with a smile. There was no need to tell her this, and even if he did, she wouldn't believe him.

"Hey, which way should we go now?" Yu Ruoxue nudged Li Kai, who was driving, and asked in confusion.

"What?! You didn't know?" Li Kai exclaimed in shock.

"Nonsense, I've never been here before!" Yu Ruoxue said irritably. "Didn't you say the roads are all the same everywhere?"

"Uh, this is really awkward." At this moment, Li Kai finally understood the consequences of his own actions; bragging never ends well.

I'm Li Kai. Today I finally escaped that nightmare, but what awaits us seems even more terrifying! Holy crap, this is inhuman! (P.S.: It's okay, you won't die anyway!)
