PIONEER CHECK-IN: I Steal Destinies Before They Happen

The apocalypse didn't just end the world — it turned survival into a game. Monsters crawl out of collapsed subways. Cities fracture into warring factions. And scattered across the ruins are hidden "check-in points" that grant power to anyone who finds them first. Kai finds them all. Armed with a check-in system that only he can see, Kai isn't just surviving Jiangcheng's fall — he's three steps ahead of it, claiming rewards before anyone else knows they exist. But he's not the only one playing this game. A rival regressor is hunting the same secrets, an entire System has been quietly matching "chosen ones" against each other for reasons no one living remembers, and every gift Kai claims seems to come with a debt someone else has to pay. As the check-ins pull him from a broken subway station to city rule, from planetary war to the edge of the galaxy, Kai discovers the terrifying truth: humanity was never meant to win this game. Earth was sabotaged before he was even born. The rivals he faces aren't enemies — they're mirrors, showing him exactly what kind of monster hoarding power can turn a person into. He came back with one goal: build something no one can ever take from him again. He's about to learn that's the wrong goal entirely. How far will you go to make sure you're never betrayed again — and what will it cost the people who never betrayed you at all?
