I hope to see you guys there! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full background: The story situates in a universe called Gondola, where countless races from numerous worlds and realities are poured in. Our MC's original world, Blue planet (similar to Earth), went through an apocalypse period for ten years and has been pulled through this universe by mysterious force as one of the human race worlds. Unfortunately, the human race is one of the weakest and most feeble races of all Gondola races. However, their sheer number and several allies have helped them escape extinction so far. Regrettably, even though there are many ants, given a sufficient amount of time, the elephant will eventually be able to destroy them all. After 50 years of pointless struggle, almost all of the last remaining humans have been hunted down by some of the strongest undead races of the Gondola, the Skeletons, the Vampires, the Werewolves, and the Demons. The few remaining humans have been found and eradicated. Our MC, Chen Murong, a member of the last humanity group, can escape the hunt from undead races for fifty years. He finally dies under the claw of Lucifer, one of the emperor-rank demons from the undead race. However, he activates one of his time magic spells with his most precious space gemstone at the moment of his last breath. Through the spell, he wakes up alive, back in his home world, and returns to the year before the apocalypse period began.
It has been almost 50 years since humanity has been pulled to this Gondola universe. The human race, who has always found themselves at the top of the food chain, for the first time, experienced an incredible struggle just to win the right to survive at the bottom of the food chain.
This striving incident was not unique. It was more common than you think. Not only it happened on hundreds of planets across the Gondola universe, but it also took place in several space colonies around different worlds.
In the first year that the human race populated the Gondola system, there were thousands of human settlements on hundreds of planets. However, those numbers were drastically reduced in just a few years. The hundreds of planets were changed to tens of planets in a matter of merely three years.
With another few decades passed, there were only a few planets with a dozen settlements left...
Actually, when so many races have been first introduced to the Gondola universe, the human race was considered one of the potential races. Even though their physical body was weak, they had higher populations, countless skills, and several unique technologies due to their numerous homeworlds.
Unfortunately, because of their ignorance and arrogance, they have wasted their great prospects. They were not united, always fighting and backstabbing with each other. As individuals, they were superb, but as a race, they failed.
By the time they realized, it has already been too late...
At that point, their vast territories have considerably shrunk. Their abundant resources were practically non-existent. Their race has been substantially weaker than before. Still, there was a final hope. The hope to reform and rebuild. The human alliance was then established.
However, when the nearly impossible alliance of the opposing undead races was formed, the fate of the human race was sealed.
The undead races were one of the strongest and aggressive races. They rarely agreed with each other on anything. However, they had one thing in common. They all had the most hatred for the human race and have held the deepest grudges against humanity. With their combined sheer number of elite forces, they have decimated the human race on every planet on their path.
The human cities were destroyed one by one. Most remaining people escaped to allied territories, neutral zones, or even the forsaken and dangerous areas. However, the undead alliance was so determined. They have followed their causes until the very end.
For the past five years, the human community has been found and neutralized one after another. Until at this very moment, there is only a couple of people left. These two people have been hiding and living in isolation in Hallerbos, one of Gondola's most mysterious and foggy forests.

Early January 2085
3rd Planet – Gondola dimension
Zhora district - Sector 2 – Hallerbos forest
Last-survivor group of human races
...
It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening. The red moon had already shined brilliantly in the dark sky today. It was a very cold, quiet, and foggy night. You could not see or hear anything around you. No one in their right minds would come out of their comfortable houses and walk around in a time like this. However, if you followed the moonlight, you would see two people were running like wilds in the middle of the forest.
"Pat...pat...pat," the sound of the footsteps and heavy breath echoed in the dark forest.
"I – I – have to rest, Murong," Nick whispered.
"No. Keep going, Nick."
"I can't."
One step after another. Again and again. Chen Murong did not know how long they had fled away from that bastard demon. After spending the last four years together with Nick, they developed some kind of a romantic relationship even though Nick was ten years younger than him. His children even called Nick "dad" from time to time now. However, unlike him, Nick came from the alternate human race world called "Earth."
Suddenly, Nick was slowing down.
"Leave me."
"No way. No," the firm response from Chen Murong.
"I really can't," Nick continued whispering.
"Nick…come on…one last try. We almost at the designated teleportation spot."
However, Nick had stopped altogether at this point. Several wounds on his body were clearly changed from red to black color now.
"I am sorry, Murong … I love you…Live for me."
Without warning, Nick raised his warrior's blade and killed himself.
"NO!…Nick…NO!"
Chen Murong was frozen from the spot for like 5 seconds. However, he did not cry. If his years in Gondola had achieved nothing else, they had succeeded in hardening his emotions. Crying was no good to him now. He enduringly parted himself from Nick's body and continued running to the teleportation meeting spot.
However, before he could run far, all of a sudden, he heard the noise followed closely behind his back. This noise caused him to shrivel and fear to the bones. He felt cold and half-frightened, as it were, instinctively, finding himself so desolate and hopeless.
Nothing is more painful to the human mind than the feelings that have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the death of his lover, fear, and certain deprivation of hope.
Nick died, he rested, and I am following him…
"Hahaha, you little rat. You have nowhere to hide now," a team of demons had surrounded Murong and howled with enthusiastic sound.
"You are the last of the human race. Prepare to die. You cannot blame anyone but yourself. You, weak rats." Lucifer, one of the emperor-rank demons from the undead race, had come forward from the group of monsters.
Quickly, it used its claw to snap on Murong's stomach, causing Murong's heavy bleeding. He, then, suddenly felt the chill of certain death. At the final moment of his life, with his last energy, he activated his rare risky time magic skill – reincarnation.
"Ding! the Reincarnation spell has been activated with space gemstone rank SSS."
"Ding! Congratulations! The spell has succeeded. The user will reincarnate back to a random time period in 3..2..1..."
Then, his world went dark and silent…
