Ten years ago, the Apocalypse System descended upon Earth, and with it came the Gates - portals to countless dying worlds, each locked in their own unique apocalypse. 

Humanity thought they were conquering these apocalyptic realms for power and glory.
But they were wrong. The Gates were training grounds, and Earth's own apocalypse was the final exam.

When the Earth’s Apocalypse finally descended, the world fell in a matter of days.
Now, ten years after the fall, Cipher remains the only one alive in this ruined world, having only survived thanks to his Glitch Class - a power he also didn't fully understand. He's survived where billions failed, wandering the wasteland alone, until a meteor crashes down from the heavens and strikes him.

But this is no ordinary meteor. It's the remnant of a dying god, offering him one final chance: return to the past and save earth from its apocalypse. There's a catch though - the god's power is too weak to send him back with his memories or abilities intact. He would return as nothing more than an ordinary person, doomed to repeat the same fate.

Just as despair sets in, his Glitch Class activates once again, corrupting the god's power. The regression glitches - instead of losing everything, Cipher retains both his memories of the future and his Glitch Class.

He awakens in the past on the day of his original awakening - but something is wrong. The system glitches again, and he awakens his original Glitch Class for the first time. The two classes collide and merge, evolving into the Cheat Class.

Armed with knowledge of the future and a class that can acquire any skill or exploit, Cipher has one goal: conquer every apocalyptic world, accumulate overwhelming power, and face the Final Apocalypse head-on.

This time, he'll change everything.

Marcus acknowledged the others with a nod. 


"I believe you've already been acquainted with Dr. Iris and Professor Elaine. I am Marcus Valen, Chairman of the Awakener Association, and this is Victoria Cross, our Vice Chairman."


Victoria gave a slight nod but remained silent, her expression calm and observing.


"I'll be straight with you. Your appraisal skill is really valuable to the Association," the Chairman said.


Cipher observed him. The Chairman was really straightforward. Well, this was much easier to deal with than having political standoffs. Since the Chairman was being so direct, he would do the same.


"I'd like to open up my own branch in the Association," he said.


Everyone froze upon hearing his statement.


Selene looked at him in shock. This was even more straightforward than the Chairman. It hadn't even been a week since he'd joined, and he was already jumping this far.


The Vice Chairman had a slight smile but remained silent.
