Back in his barracks on the dawn before the end.Trapped in a lethal time loop, Orodan realizes that while the world resets, his stats, skills, and hard-earned combat mastery remain. Every agonizing death yields experience. Every scorched bone breeds fire resistance. He cannot run from the apocalypse, nor outlast it—but he can learn its rhythm. With each reset, Orodan steps closer to the dragon's maw, trading his life for the power to change fate.
