"Twelve lives. Ten regressions. One survivor who gets to rewrite reality."
In a world trapped in a perfect, endless loop, twelve individuals stand outside the cycle. They are the Time Breakers—architects of destiny, or its ultimate destroyers.
Kairi Ren thought he was just a failure, a man drowning in a life of betrayal and isolation. He didn't know his misery was a side effect of a broken timeline. He didn't know he was already a pawn in a game where the stakes are existence itself.
But the rules are absolute:
+) You only have 10 lives to change your fate.
+) To gain more, you must hunt the others.
+) To win, you must be the last one standing.
When the 12th position is forced upon him, Kairi is thrust into a brutal Battle Royale of chronomancy. Between "The Probabilist" who sees every future and "The Surrogate" who steals identities, a failure like Kairi has only one advantage:
He has nothing left to lose.
In a hunt where memory is the only weapon and time is the ultimate currency, will Kairi remain a victim of the loop... or will he become the one to break time forever?

After reading, I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Your comments will motivate me to continue writing and better understand the preferences of my readers.

Those who manipulate the structural mechanics of the loop.


The Luck — The Lucky Gambler: Receives a fixed amount of "Luck Points" each day, which are automatically consumed to guarantee beneficial outcomes. If the score drops into negative numbers (down to a maximum of -10), the user is forced to endure horrific disasters as compensation until the score returns to 0. Hitting the -10 threshold is guaranteed to be life-threatening.


The Probabilist — The Future Calculator: Perceives the exact success rates and various potential outcomes of any action before they occur. Natural events without human intervention will only yield a single definitive outcome, whereas events involving human factors split into multiple branches due to subjective variables. Drawback: The results will deviate if the initial input data or information is inaccurate.


Those who hold knowledge and track anomalies.


The Echo — The Causality Tracker: By focusing on a specific event, the user can observe how it unfolded across previous loops and perceive the "intended outcome" had no Time Breaker interfered. Through this, the user can identify individuals who have altered the natural course of causality. (Limit: Requires a clear reference event; excessive use may cause mental strain.) 


Those who disrupt perception and memory.


Those who optimize survival and causality.


The Catalyst — The Causality Manipulator: By thinking of a desired result, destiny suggests a specific Object and an Action Keyword. If the object is used with that keyword, the result occurs within 5 minutes. (Limit: 1 use/day).
