The Last Catalyst : My 100th Regression
For ten years, Harrison lived as a tactical analyst, desperately guiding humanity through ninety nine separate timelines to stop the apocalypse. He has tried everything fighting as a frontline warrior, playing the politician, and leading as a commander only to watch the world get utterly erased by a colossal, crystalline world boss known simply as The End. Every single loop concluded the same way: with the total destruction of Nova City and Harrison being violently reeled back to the beginning. But as the final defense line collapses in his ninety ninth life, something changes. His generic, low tier system glitches violently and undergoes a massive overhaul, sending him back five years into the past for his 100th loop and his absolute final attempt. The safety net is gone; if he dies now, there are no more regression. This time, Harrison doesn't awaken with his useless basic stats. Instead, he unlocks a broken, rule bending EX-Rank talent: The Casualty Counter. With golden holographic screens overlaid on his retinas, Harrison can now see the exact time, cause, and probability of death for any living soul around him. When the countdown timer blinks a bloody scarlet above Lydia Vance a girl destined to become one of humanity's greatest A-Rank defenders Harrison realizes a localized supernatural beast outbreak is about to strike a crowded sector mall in just fourteen minutes. Arming himself only with a hundred lifetimes of tactical data and a system that rewards him with a target's latent power for changing fate, Harrison steps into the crowd.
The clock is ticking. The world ends in 365 days. To survive the final loop and save Nova City, Harrison must grind, exploit the system, and rewrite the threads of mortality one casualty at a time.

Chapter: The Hidden UndergroundThe transition from the lower residential blocks to the forgotten underbelly of Sector 4 felt like sinking into a frozen tomb.Harrison moved through the utility access tunnels with silent, predatory precision. Up above, the city was a machine of light and noise, but down here, the only sounds were the rhythmic, metallic *drip-drop* of condensation and the distant, low-frequency thrum of Sector 4's primary structural stabilizers.[Spatial Awareness - Rank F: Active.]The multi-dimensional map in Harrison's mind expanded outward, cutting through the thick darkness. Every five meters of his surroundings were laid bare. He could feel the cold, moist air currents dragging against the rusty iron pipes, the slight vibration of structural stress in the ceiling overhead, and the absolute stillness of the long-abandoned corridor ahead of him.His baseline physical attributes were still a limitation. His strength of twelve meant the heavy steel bar he carried felt dense and slow in his grip, an

Chapter: The Echoes of ChangeThe immediate danger of the courtyard incursion had passed, but the true fallout of altering the timeline was just beginning to ripple through Sector 4.Lydia Vance stood by the medical transport, her dark eyes staring fixedly at the space where Harrison had vanished into the evacuating crowd. Her chest still heaved slightly, a lingering cocktail of adrenaline and profound shock humming through her system. It wasn't just the sudden attack by a Tier-1 *Shadow Stalker* that had shaken her it was the boy who had engineered her survival.*Who is he?*The question turned over and over in her mind like a jagged stone. An unranked civilian, completely devoid of an active aether signature, had predicted a micro-incursion down to the exact second. He had known her name, her family history, her private training flaws, and had moved with the chilling, detached efficiency of a veteran commander who had seen a thousand battlefields. He hadn't looked at her with the awe or deference she was used to

Chapter: The First HarvestThe heat under Harrison’s skin didn't fade; it settled.It was a strange, intoxicating sensation like drinking liquid fire that refused to burn. Every nerve ending from his heels to his temples vibrated with a newfound frequency. When he blinked, the world seemed to slow down by a fraction of a millisecond. The gritty texture of the pulverized concrete beneath his boots, the distant, frantic shouting of the newly arrived Vanguard guards, the precise trajectory of a stray leaf drifting through the damp air he could feel it all without even looking.[Spatial Awareness - Rank F: Fully Integrated.]The system confirmation blinked softly in the corner of his eye before minimizing itself into a small, pulsing golden icon. Harrison slowly rolled his shoulders, feeling the structural changes within his body. His posture, previously weighed down by a century of psychological exhaustion, naturally squared."Hey! I asked you a question!"Lydia’s voice snapped him out of the sensory rush. She was

Chapter: The Sector 4 IncursionThe *Shadow Stalker* didn't run; it blurred. To an ordinary civilian, the monster was nothing more than a passing smear of darkness against the brilliant afternoon sun. But to Harrison, whose mind had been forged in the crucible of a hundred apocalypses, the beast’s trajectory was as clear as ink on a white page."Left step, now!" Harrison barked.Before Lydia could even process the command, Harrison’s hand hooked into the collar of her tactical coat, violently dragging her three feet to the side.A fraction of a second later, a massive, crystalline blade of black chitin tore through the exact space she had been occupying. The sheer kinetic force of the miss detonated the concrete support pillar behind them, showering the alcove in a hail of jagged stone and pulverized dust. The wind from the strike whipped Harrison’s visor hat right off his head, his brown hair flying wild in the sudden updraft.Lydia hit the ground hard, rolling onto her shoulder. Her face was pale, her breath catch

Chapter: Altering Fate00:03:5900:03:58The numbers bleeding into Harrison’s vision were turning a deeper, angrier shade of violet. Time was running out, spilling through his fingers like sand."If this is a real spatial distortion, we need to report it to the Sector 4 Vanguard barracks immediately," Lydia said, her voice dropping to a harsh, urgent whisper as she kept pace beside him. Her eyes kept darting back toward the center courtyard fountain, her hand still resting tightly on her silver catalyst ring. "The automated alarms are completely dead. If a beast breaks through here, the civilian casualties will be""The barracks won't deploy a squad for a localized, unverified report from an unranked citizen and an academy applicant," Harrison interrupted coldly, his eyes scanning the plaza. "By the time they authenticate the spatial variance, it will be over. We don't have time to wait for the cavalry, Vance. We are the cavalry."Lydia stopped dead in her tracks, grabbing Harrison by the shoulder of his ja

Chapter: The Grim Reaper's VisionFourteen minutes and twenty seconds.In the grand scheme of a hundred lifetimes, fourteen minutes was a rounding error. It was the time it took to brief a vanguard squad, to clean a standard issue aether rifle, or to watch a low-tier sector burn to the ground. But right now, as Harrison woven through the dense crowd of the Sector 4 Central Mall courtyard, those fourteen minutes felt like an executioner's blade slowly descending toward the back of his neck.The world around him remained jarringly, frustratingly normal.A group of teenagers laughed as they ran past him, their arms loaded with shopping bags from an upscale high tech apparel store. An older couple sat on a nearby bench, sharing a thermos of synthesized tea while reading a digital newspaper. Above them all, the floating crimson numbers of the **Casualty Counter** shifted and drifted like a heavy, invisible fog.[Time Till Death: 42 Years | Cause: Natural Causes][Time Till Death: 18 Years | Cause: Sector 9 High-Rise Collap
