About this story

Volume I is available on Kindle! Volume II is in editing! (What you see here right now can be considered a beta version). ————— (Spinoff-Sequel is out!) ————— In a world where every adventurer has a unique level cap, Aidan is forever stuck at a mediocre level 50. When his friend Yana invites him on a once-in-a-lifetime quest to the tomb of the legendary knight Gaelith, he joins - hoping to rekindle their bond and perhaps prove he's more than just average. But things go horribly wrong, and Aidan finds himself trapped in a time loop, forced to take part in an ancient battle against a force he can't even comprehend. All while reliving the same doomed raid again and again until he defeats the embodiment of Darkness itself. The problem? He can't remember anything he did in previous runs. Armed only with a faint sense of Déjà vu and a new unique system designed to help him piece together fragments of his previous selves - given to him by the God of Time - Aidan must fight to outwit Darkness and solve the mystery of the tomb...or die again, and again... But things get messier when he learns he’s not the only one aware of the time loop. What to expect: - Story is a Mystery first, LitRPG second (numbers are present, but secondary and are not the main deal). - A Soulsborne-inspired dungeon (where nearly everything can one-shot you, and every boss has at least two phases). - Realistic character progression (MC doesn't go from zero to hero in one loop). - Story builds up slowly (especially in the first act where MC really struggles to retain memories), then grows legs and starts running (chapter 26 features the jump in progression everyone is waiting for). - A time loop story focusing on a unique system with skills that offer creative ways to retain memories between loops and an MC who must use his wits to progress. - A large mystery to unfold, centered around the backstory of the legendary knight, a mysterious rogue who's stuck in the time loop as well, and a grand battle between Time and Darkness. - A weak/average to strong to OP character progression. What NOT to expect: - A gimmick story. The (time loop+memory loss) is not a gimmick, and things get explained and become clearer as the story progresses.
