Return of Death

Ryn Vale died last, giving everything to save a team that was already gone. He woke up two years in the past with sixty days on the clock. Sixty days until the same black door opens for the same five people. It cannot be dodged, declined, or bribed. The door has already chosen its guests. But this time, Ryn knows the laws. A hidden system now pays him for tending the city's forgotten dead. Each grave settled makes him stronger. Each kill offers a choice no hunter should have: take the skill the dead carried, or let them rest whole. In a world where everyone gets one skill, Ryn is collecting them. By day, he's the F-rank porter his own team pities, secretly training them for a death they don't remember. By night, he's the Mourner: the masked impossibility clearing gates alone, saving trains, stopping monsters with his bare hands, and bowing over the dead. Sixty days to become the difference. One analyst closing a paper file around his life. Something in the dark farming the city's grief like a crop. And at the bottom of an empty tomb, two words carved an age before his birth: YOU CAME BACK.
