The Villain's RE:Life Novel

A decade after Arkadia, an all-knowing system, descended to Earth, society transformed dramatically. Superpowers emerged, monsters roamed freely, and various races like elves appeared alongside heroes and villains. When extraterrestrials invaded, the situation became catastrophic. However, 5000 humans were offered a chance to travel back in time, though they initially didn't realize the consequences. This journey activated the Descent Clock, pushing Arkadia 10000 years into the future. As Returners, these time travelers must alter the past to reshape the future. The protagonist, a villain from the original timeline, now has countless opportunities to influence their new life. Their plans include acquiring popular franchises for long-term wealth and pursuing other ambitious goals, such as hunting down serial killers and solving decades-old cold cases that have intrigued them since adolescence.
