MY SYSTEM LOADS 10 SECONDS LATE
Dying is just data. Revenge is a 10-second delay.
In a world ruled by powerful Hunter Guilds and the strict laws of the Hunter Association, Jaxen Vane was nothing more than an E-Rank laborer—disposable bait for corporate meat-grinders. Born with zero combat skills and a comatose sister to support, his only goal was survival. Until the day a routine dungeon raid turned into a deadly corporate cover-up.
Trapped by mutated monsters and betrayed by his own vanguard, Jaxen accidentally triggers a late awakening. But his system isn't like the standard blue interfaces everyone else possesses. His is an anomaly—a glitched golden system that loads exactly ten seconds late.
Whenever Jaxen suffers a fatal blow, his unique skill, Hindsight Bias, snaps his consciousness back exactly ten seconds into the past. He cannot outrun an A-Rank hunter, and he cannot overpower a C-Rank beast on raw stats alone. But with an endless loop of ten-second do-overs, he can memorize every strike, predict every trap, and turn his own brutal deaths into a flawless strategy board.
Forced to hide his world-breaking ability from corrupt guilds, ruthless executives, and a high-ranking investigator who blackmails him into a shadow contract, Jaxen takes up a silver invitation to the National Hunter Academy. Hidden right under everyone's noses, the ultimate underdog begins to silently hoard stat points, master his broken system, and climb the ranks.
They think he's just an unpolished gem with a Read button.

Across from him, Dante stood motionless, his frozen blood blade gleaming with an eerie light.

But a corpse that was once an S-rank.Dante moved.He lunged forward, his blade cutting through the air like a serpent striking. Robert barely managed to raise his sword in time, the impact sending shockwaves through his arms.Bang!Robert was thrown backward, his heels digging trenches into the stone floor.

Chapter: Chapter 118 : The Fall of GiantsAldric and Robert stood their ground as they faced off against the two foes before them.M1 had summoned Dante and Valdamond Black as her puppets. As to how and when she had gotten a hold of them, no one knew. All that mattered was that Aldric and Robert knew little to nothing about what was about to transpire.Boom!Valdamond Black rushed at Aldric, closing the distance in mere seconds and throwing a left jab aimed at Aldric's ribs. Aldric reacted quickly, slightly shifting his blade lower to match the trajectory of Valdamond's punch, and blocked the strike.The impact sent shockwaves through his arm. He's strong, Aldric thought. Even as a corpse, his raw power is immense.Valdamond's next attack was a punch aimed at Aldric's face. Aldric easily dodged, ducking beneath the strike, before kicking Valdamond away and slicing him clean across the belly.The cut left a bright orange glow—one that Aldric didn't understand. He aimed for Valdamond again, only for the second blow to result in

Chapter: Chapter 117 : The blind hunters forest.Bill stood on the northern bridge, his body broken, his mana nearly depleted. Across from him stood Tagashi, his rebar staff dripping with blood—Anthony's blood.Tagashi tilted his head, listening. "You're in no condition to fight me. Your mana is almost gone. Your body is failing."Bill forced a grin, his teeth stained red. "I've still got enough to put you down."Tagashi's expression didn't change. "Brave words. But words won't save you."He lunged.Bill barely managed to dodge, the rebar staff whistling past his ear. He countered with a wild swing, but Tagashi was already gone, his blade slicing toward Bill's ribs.Bill twisted, the blade cutting a shallow line across his side. He stumbled back, his hand pressing against the wound.He's too fast, Bill thought. And he knows how my ability works. He's only using shallow cuts—nothing that gives me enough energy to fight back.Tagashi advanced, his staff held low. "You've been a worthy opponent, Bill. But this ends here."Bill's eyes d

Chapter: Chapter 116 : The bridge of broken menThe northern bridge stretched across the river like a scar on the landscape. The evening sky was painted in shades of orange and red, but the only thing Bill could see was the blade pointing at his throat.Tagashi stood motionless, his sword extended, his blind eyes fixed on some point beyond Bill's shoulder. The man was a statue—cold, patient, and deadly.Bill's body ached. The burns on his face and arm throbbed with each heartbeat. His ribs were cracked from Stangard's punch. His mana reserves were draining faster than he liked.I need to end this quickly, Bill thought. But this guy isn't like the others. He's something else.Tagashi moved.The blade cut through the air faster than Bill could track. Bill threw himself to the side, the sword grazing his shoulder. He rolled and came up swinging, his fist aimed at Tagashi's chest.Tagashi was already gone. He had sidestepped with inhuman speed, his blade already arcing toward Bill's neck.Bill ducked, feeling the wind of the blade pass

Chapter: Chapter 115 : The northern bridge.In the earlier chapters, we saw Bill leave the dungeon area in a rush after receiving a mysterious phone call.The phone call Bill received was from Jack, who called to inform him that there was a situation back at headquarters. A group of awakened terrorists had invaded the building. Jack had avoided capture but was in hiding inside.To make things worse, Bill also received a call from his home that his wife and grandkids were headed to headquarters to prepare a surprise party for after the raid was cleared.This made Bill rush over without hesitation, fearing what was to happen.Bill accelerated his car at max speed, weaving through traffic, speeding past any vehicle in his way.Tang!Boom!Bill's car exploded high in the air, smoke and fire bursting from it.The explosion was caused by an arrow aimed at his car—fired by the same woman who had attacked him with Stangard during the Scorched Citadel arc. It was an assassination attempt. They knew Bill would use the northern bridge as

Chapter: Chapter 114: The puppet master Gambit.Aldric stood in his defensive position, his spear held steady despite the exhaustion creeping through his muscles. His fight with the Serpent King had taken more out of him than he wanted to admit. Now two more threats had emerged to end him.The reason for their involvement, he didn't know. But what he did know was that he was going to have to kill them if he hoped to survive this day.M1 stood above a stone pillar, her threads controlling the Serpent King's corpse below. The dead creature twitched and moved like a marionette, its movements jerky but purposeful.M2 stood beside the Serpent King, two blades piercing from each arm, jutting through the knuckles from inside his hands. The metal gleamed with a faint, poisonous sheen."Be careful as you attack," M2 warned, his voice low and cautious. "We don't know what other tricks he has down his sleeves, and whether he can still use that last attack he did against the Serpent King."M2 instinctively watched Aldric, studying his movement
