That boy... looks a lot like me.

No, I remember.

He is me.

That day, my sister and I were playing by the reservoir.

I don't really like this sister.

Because she is so stupid and always clingy, she follows me wherever I go. If I leave her behind, she will cry loudly and make me feel uneasy.

If I ignored it, my parents would hear the noise and come out, and I would definitely be beaten up.

So I don't like her.

It was a cloudy day. We walked around the reservoir twice, but felt bored and decided to go back to the village.

Suddenly it started raining stars from the sky.

The rain came quickly and suddenly.

I couldn't help but quicken my pace to go home.

My sister took small steps and followed me closely, calling me to wait for her.

I ignored her and urged her to run faster, otherwise the road would be difficult to walk on if the rain got heavier.

But at this moment.

But I heard the sound of water behind me.

When I looked back, I saw that my sister was no longer behind me.

There was only a ripple in the reservoir below, and it seemed as if something was constantly tumbling and struggling in the ripple, but it could never float to the surface.

I jumped down while shouting for help.

I searched for a long time and shouted for a long time.

But in the end, no one heard my cries for help, and I didn't find my sister.

So I ran back to the village crying and called for help.

The adults called the fire department.

The fire department recovered the sister's body from the reservoir.

Because it had been soaked in water for a long time, the body had become very ugly and was covered with a lot of water plants.

But I still recognized it at a glance.

That body was my sister.

I watched my sister drown in front of my eyes.

……

Memories come flooding back like a tide.

I remembered.

It turns out that it started from that time.

Whenever I see someone in trouble, my sister’s shadow that day seems to appear in front of my eyes. It seems as if I see my sister entangled in water plants, struggling and asking me for help.

I'm not such a noble person.

I just can't stand by and watch someone in trouble.

I didn't want to...see anyone die tragically in front of me again, so I couldn't help but lend a helping hand.

That's it.

……

Various fragments of memories kept replaying before my eyes like a passing scene.

I felt like I was living Ron's life all over again.

But memories are ultimately limited.

Soon, all the memory fragments disappeared from my sight, and my vision returned to a void of darkness.

I continued to move forward.

go straight……

And so, I didn’t know how far I had walked.

I couldn't help but start thinking.

How long will it last?

Am I going to keep walking like this forever?

"..."

Just as I was thinking this.

The memory fragment appeared in front of my eyes again.

But this time it is no longer my memory.

……

In a small village on the border of a kingdom.

There was a girl whose face was ashen and eyes were full of despair since she was born.

The girl knew her fate.

Because she has repeated almost the same life countless times.

She is the Son of God.

Possesses the ability to rewind the time of an object by up to one day.

Although it cannot be used on yourself.

However, this ability can restore destroyed objects.

It can also resurrect the dead.

However, despite possessing such powerful abilities, no matter how many times she repeats herself, she will eventually meet a tragic death.

She would be forcibly abducted by the state and kept captive deep within the palace.

Even if she tried her best to escape or hide her specialness, it would be meaningless.

Then, that powerful kingdom will be destroyed.

After the kingdom is destroyed, she will be captured by the enemy and treated cruelly.

Sometimes they were brutally violated, sometimes they were swallowed alive by monsters, sometimes they were sunk to the bottom of the water, and sometimes they were burned to death by flames...

Countless times, countless times.

The girl kept repeating her life of rushing to the execution platform countless times.

For her, the ability to live her life over and over again only made her wait for cruel execution in despair countless times.

So cruel, so brutal.

In this repetitive life, the girl is left with only despair in her heart.

There is no trace of the good memories left.

Only the memory of being killed countless times continued to fill her life.

Why did it turn out like this?

Why on earth should I be treated like this?

How can this all end?

The girl cried silently.

Pray deep in your heart for a miracle to happen.

"I can't bear it anymore... Someone come... Save me..."

……

I looked at the girl's memories.

Watching the girl being killed again and again, struggling in vain again and again, and being forced to repeat the desperate life after death again and again.

unconsciously.

I clenched my fists.

Even though I didn't know her, I couldn't help but want to stop this from happening.

I think no one is born to be treated so cruelly.

"So, how can I help you?"

After I asked this.

The girl in the picture suddenly became extremely clear.

She walked out of the picture carefully, her whole body emitting pure white light, illuminating this empty and dark world as bright as day.

Just like that, he walked in front of me.

The girl pursed her lips shyly and extended her hand to me coyly.

"Nice to meet you. I am the reborn Son of God."

"You can call me by my name, too."
