Travel forward followers of the path

To break the gate and avoid my wrath

so perceiver through the trials ahead

If you are not careful, you'll be dead

some will gain strengths unknown to those

powers titled the lidiemos

with these powers, lead the people

but be warned not all are equal

will the gifted walk the path with stride,

or will they fall to their pride

the end of every path leads to the gate,

we will be watching you and we shall wait.

As an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you're crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone's eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die". now Mal needs to find a way to "break down the gate" (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably.

this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don't let that happen.
