Everyone Regressed Except Me

Lee Hwayoon was among the elite few who successfully breached the final dungeon, standing at the very pinnacle of all players. However, in the aftermath of that monumental achievement, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred. Every player who had reached that ultimate threshold was suddenly sent back in time, regressing to the past with their memories and experiences fully intact. They were granted a second chance to reshape their destinies, armed with the knowledge of everything yet to come. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, Lee Hwayoon was the sole exception. While his peers were cast backward through time, he remained anchored in the present, completely alone in a world where everyone else possessed foreknowledge he lacked. He became the only individual who did not regress, isolated among players who now viewed the future as a script they had already read. Despite this staggering disadvantage, a mysterious system notification offered him a unique path forward. Triggering a skill known as Butterfly Effect Level 1, the system declared that bonus points would be awarded exclusively to him—the one who did not regress—for every action he took that altered the predetermined future. Now, Lee Hwayoon must navigate a world of time-displaced players, relying on his ability to change fate to forge his own survival.
