Synopsis
***[Setting]***
By the early 26th Century humanity had exhausted all resources that could sustain human life. Fortunately, in a science experiment in 2008 something unexpected occurred ripping open a portal to a completely different universe. Humanity spent the next 500 years preparing for their migration to the planet of Agartha.
Humanity couldn't bring any of their advanced technology. However, they managed to create a system that allowed humans to develop themselves and gain abilities similar to the native sentient species of Agartha. To humans this system appeared and functioned almost like a video game.
***[Plot]***
After living on Agartha for ten years our MC dies under the blade of the person he was desperately trying to find and protect, his brother. However, through some twist of fate he wakes up alive and back on Earth, returned to the day he migrated to Agartha. A time before he suffered through unspeakable hardships and adversity. A time before he witnessed the cruelty of humanity. A time before he was used and tossed away by others.
Our MC decides that he cannot allow the injustices of his past life to repeat themselves. That he will use what he has learned over his ten years of struggle to become someone who cannot be ignored, cannot be trampled, someone with real strength.
Follow our MC as he struggles to overcome his weakness, faces the enemies of his past, uncovers the truth about his brother, and confronts situations that make him question his humanity.

Write a reviewIf you are looking for reincarnation with fantasy and apocalyptic elements mixed in then do give this a try. I read all the current chapters in 1 sitting. Grammar is 5/5 as well. Have some spirit stones Author-san! More chapters please~
This is a nice novel! The story development is not slow and not too fast. So far, every chapter has something that actually happened. Not like some novels where some chapters will just focus on his/her thoughts. I look forward to how the story goes. This is actually worth my stone. Too bad it's not included for voting.
This is definitely a must read. The pacing of the story is very well done. Not only does the author create a very believable world background, but builds up ******* and atmosphere that is expected of the genre. The characters so far are lively in their own sense and there is no lack of conspiracies and back stabbing potential for an interesting villain and protagonist clashes. Look forward to seeing this story through.
This is one of the best originals I've seen on this site and everyone should try to read it. That being said there are two major faults with worldbuilding I'd like to point out. This shouldn't stop anyone from trying it, though. First, the money. This new world works like a tribal society. There's no agreement between tribes or races to enforce the usage of gold and silver as currency. No one trusts one another, humans and non-humans. There's no reason for gold and silver to be accepted as currency to the whole world. At best it could maybe be traded by weight in gold, but even that is fickle. People need survivability, not precious metals from Earth that should have no value there. The worst is that the author had the perfect plot device to avoid using gold: Essence. If people could exchange Essence between them, there is no reason for gold and it's pretty clear that, plot wise, essence is meaningful for everyone, no matter the race, and universally acceptable. Second: Manuals. The world has a system where characters can level up stats or get skill from monsters they kill, using 'Essence'. Yet, the author added books that the MC would find and learn techniques, Wuxia-style. That really didn't go well with his system plot. It would be far better for them to be regular skills from the system. Like the dagger technique he got by killing a bandit, for example, instead of a book the character should have a chance to gain the skill of the target, monster or human, this way he would have only the skills the Author wants him to have in the end. Like I said, overall this is a very good novel, but these two points stuck like a sore thumb for me. I'd even advise the author to rewrite them. It'd be a pain, but worth the hassle.
I really like the world you've formulated here, very interesting take on the rebirth/isekai genre. Seems like a very good start to an interesting story! Please keep up the good work, we'll be in your care!
I really don't have a thing about perfection, but hey it suits the story very well and you really did it. Not like it's totally flawless but I just can't give you less.. I.. I just can't. It's really great, excluding the update stability which the world of readers really wants. Nice work anyways hahaha Hope you continue giving us great story development. See ya in your next updates ^^
The plot so far is going well! There are mysteries, lucky encounter and hardworking-protagonist vibe and other possible developments I hope it remains that way and there is no unnecessary plot drags later. Giving some power stones.

Good story, with a great protagonist who is not afraid to act in an evil way to get what he wants. Recommended for anyone who wants a story that leaves that taste of want more.
I am very impressed with this novel. The characters are well thought out and I love the fact that, while the mc is becoming powerful, it feels right and it doesn’t feel out of place. The world is interesting and I can’t wait to explore more in the upcoming chapters. The mc isn’t crazy or kills anyone if they look at him funny. He’s a normal guy but very determined and willing to be ruthless as well as merciful depending on the situation. Can’t wait to read more!
I like the development between characters as well as the realistic conversations that not all novels would have paid much attention to. The MC is quite decent and likeable. Waiting for more chapters to be released!
Liking this story. Has some fun elements and clever twists, and the writing style is very easy to read. (Also, I just caught up with the latest chapter so I have no idea re update stability, but Webnovel would not let me post a review without rating this. Not wanting to penalize a writer due to such nonsense, I gave a 5 istead of a “neutral” 3.)
Great mc has a very real personality that shines. Also, so far the world building has been well flushed out and very creative can’t wait for more 👍👍
So far I've thoroughly enjoyed his story. The Main Character is smart and know when to use things to his advantage well. There isn't a giant information dump that most other stories have that can bore the reader right away. The plot and writing are both very good. The world has a great background and it feels real and living. Awesome job Author. This story has me hooked.
I just found this gem. Writing quality is best from orginal novels that I have read so far. I really hope author return's to write more chapters, when he has time again. I will but this novel in to my library so I can see when he returns.
Story had a lot of promise and i enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately it looks like the author has dropped it. There have been no updates here or on his patreon for a while now.
Very interesting plot and already has some good twists. Can't wait for the rest of it. Had me reading 3 in the morning. Translation isn't that bad just has a few errors that are easy to see and fix. I don't feel like their is much room for character development as the protagonist seems set in his ways, however their is still a lot that we can find out about the character. Cant wait to see how this story developed.
I give it a 5 cause it sounds promising, I havent really read it yet but I will. And I hope my 5 wont change. I hope that the novel will be as interesting as the description. To the author please dont make every BIG organization and people with authority and power to be the MCs enemy. Please....
