As his consciousness began to slip into the void, Rex triggered the skill in his mind.
'Broken Hourglass.'
SNAP.
The world lurched backward with a violent, nauseating pop.
The blood sucked itself back into his throat. The severed skin sealed seamlessly. The timestamp of the universe reset by one exact second, placing the spear point hovering a millimeter away from his pristine neck.
Rex didn't even pause his sprint, jumping cleanly over a twisted root.
'Do you believe me now?' Rex growled in his mind, his inner voice exhausted. 'I'm so exhausted I can literally kill myself right here and reset it until I die. But I can't leave Edri behind. Come on... what's your answer?'
A long, suffocating second of silence hung in the interface.
『 MAN FUCK YOU! ARE YOU A PSYCHOPATH?! MAN!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! YOU JUST KILLED YOURSELF TO PROVE A POINT?! 』
