Lin Chen opened his eyes abruptly.
His head ached violently, and his body felt icy cold.
In front of him was his familiar rental apartment. On the table sat a half-eaten instant noodle bowl, and his phone showed the time clearly.
It was exactly 5 PM, March 26, 2026.
One full hour before the red fog that would engulf the whole world arrived.
"Am I… reborn?"
Lin Chen's heart raced.
In his previous life, once the red fog descended, the world changed completely.
Ordinary animals turned into terrifying ferocious beasts. Some humans awakened supernatural powers, while most became food for the beasts.
He had been weak and timid. He could only watch as his parents were torn apart by beasts, dying to protect him. He eventually died painfully in the ruins, filled with endless regret.
Ding!
[All Attribute Panel is activating…]
[Activation successful!]
A faint blue interface appeared in front of him, visible only to himself.
Host: Lin Chen
Physique: 6 (ordinary adult: 5)
Spirit: 7 (ordinary adult: 5)
Talent: All Attribute Insight

"An attribute panel?"
Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock.
This was the power he never had in his past life! He looked at the glass cup on the table.
[Ordinary Glass Cup: Hardness 3, fragile, easy to break.]
He then looked at his own arm.
[Left Arm: Physique 6, flexible, no injuries.]
He could truly see all attributes!
At that moment, the sky outside the window turned deep red.
Screams and beast roars came from far away, making the windows tremble.
The red fog had begun to spread.
Lin Chen stood up sharply, his eyes firm.
"In my last life, I lost everything. But this time…
I will protect my family.
I will become strong.
I will survive!"
The doorbell rang suddenly.
It was his parents, who had just come to see him.
Lin Chen took a deep breath.
The battle to protect his family had officially begun.
