"Saying the same thing over and over again. For better or worse."

Aiden Lu awoke in a world that wasn't his. There were familiarities, parallels, his old address, places he once knew, but people wielded superpowers, wondrous technology and magic beyond his age were used for the most mundane of tasks.

Yet the world he awoke in was one dictated by constant conflict.

Millennia ago, this world crossed a line, a line that weakened the fabric of reality, an event that would later be known as the Apocalypse. Gates to other worlds open completely at random, letting in alien things beyond comprehension or logic. The blessed few with power often give their lives to close these gates before the infection of alien realities become too great.

The world is different in a way difficult for him to comprehend, yet there is a single difference, a sister dead in his old universe, alive but comatose here.

Now reborn with the power to bring his memories to life, he seeks to forge ahead, to continue on.

Because in the end, a restart is a restart. One you can't hesitate to take advantage of. No matter where the path may lead, what can you do except to walk it?

A modern post-post apocalypse story with both superpowers and urban high fantasy elements. Slow-paced and inspired by many of the things the author found enjoyable with a focus on positive character growth and interaction.
