Dark academia isn't the aesthetic. It's the cover-up. Every execution resets the clock, making you deadlier—and your hunter remembers every kill....
The noose snapped his neck at dawn, but Rowan Vale wakes up eighteen hours earlier with a blade pressed to his throat—held by Mara Voss, the merciless law captain who just watched him die. This time, her cold eyes flash with lethal shock: she remembers the execution, too. Framed for the murder of a high lord in the fog-drowned harbor city, Rowan discovers a blood-red interface burning in his vision. Every brutal death resets the clock, sharpens his combat stats, and drags him one step closer to madness. But he is not the only one trapped. Tied together by a cursed black bell mark, Rowan and the ruthless enforcer sworn to hunt him down must forge an uneasy pact. A corrupt council lord is harvesting the loops to engineer an unstoppable immortal army. With every reset, the swarming horrors at the sea wall grow hungrier, and Rowan's memories begin to rot away. To save his sister and break the cycle before midnight strikes, Rowan must level up through slaughter—or become another disposable weapon in an endless war.
