Hal Miller wasn’t hit by a truck. He didn’t fall off a cliff. He didn’t die suddenly—he saw it coming. Stage-four cancer isn’t subtle. What he didn’t expect was to wake up in the void, alone, silent, and disturbingly conscious... for a thousand years.

Enter TABAAL, a cosmic entity who shows up not to save him, but to apologize for accidentally leaving him stuck in an existential waiting room. As compensation, Hal is offered a second life—with perks.

Now reborn into a medieval world without Wi-Fi, toothpaste, or basic plumbing, Hal is guided by Mnex: a highly advanced, deeply sarcastic AI system with full access to his memories, his internet search history, and unfortunately, his personality.
Armed with future knowledge, divine blessings, and weaponized cynicism, Hal must navigate a world where magic exists, logic doesn’t, and he's trapped in the body of a baby noble.

One world ended. Another began.
This time, he's not dying quietly.

Release Schedule:
New chapters drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday — unless Mnex hacks the system, Hal says something dumb, or the author forgets what day it is.
(Just kidding. Probably.)

Before we dive into the story, I'd like to set a few expectations. If you're here for overpowered characters who obliterate everything in their path from the very beginning, this may not be the story for you.


This tale unfolds slowly—and intentionally.


You won't find villains who are evil just for the sake of being evil, nor will this be a simple clash between absolute good and evil. While the early chapters may feel more like a slice-of-life narrative, the story will gradually evolve—expanding into themes of world-building, kingdom-building, trade, and war.


Without giving away too much, I promise there will be action, growth, and intense battles. But this isn't a sprint. It's a long-form journey.


I've poured a great deal of time into crafting a rich and detailed world, with systems that make sense, motivations that feel grounded, and characters who aren't just archetypes. Perhaps in the future, we can even do a Q&A or dive deeper into some of the world-building elements together.


Please note: later chapters will contain mature themes, emotional moments, and morally gray choices. I strive for a sense of realism in this tale—not everything will be joyful, and not every victory will be clean.


If you enjoy immersive world-building, slow-burn development, sarcastic internal monologues, and the complexities of building something from nothing, then this story might be exactly what you're looking for.


I know there are many stories out there in this genre, and while some explore similar themes, I've tried to bring a fresh perspective—one born from my love for this type of storytelling. I've read countless entries in the genre, but when I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, I decided to write it myself.


Thank you for giving this world a chance.


I genuinely welcome your thoughts and ideas—some of which may even find their way into the narrative.


Now that expectations are set… let's get to the good part. Swipe down to Chapter 1 and enjoy the chaos.
