One month ago, he managed to find the family that had been separated from him for twenty-five years. His superiors allowed him to meet his mother for a month, on the condition that he accept a special mission: to single-handedly rescue hostages from a terrorist camp after returning from his family visit. Unfortunately, a tragic fate befell him. He died in a bomb explosion. When he woke up, a system appeared before him. The system explained that he had died and been revived in a new world. However, Gerald refused to accept it because he had just met his mother. The system granted his request. He would return to his original world after completing ten missions. Each mission would reward him with a 'ticket to the afterlife'. Once those tickets to the afterlife were collected, he could open the gates of reincarnation and return to his original world. Unfortunately, as time went on living in the new world, he had many people around him who cared about him. What would Gerald do? If the system's missions were completed, who would he choose? His mother or the people closest to him in the new world?
