Resetting Life Novels & Stories

Richard nodded proudly. “Every major city.” Adrian whispered, “You’re insane.” Richard smiled calmly. “No.” He looked directly at Samuel. “I’m correcting history.” Samuel’s hands trembled. “You’re going to kill billions.” Richard shrugged. “Temporary sacrifice.” Adrian growled. “For what?” Richard’s eyes gleamed. “To reset the world.” Samuel whispered, “…Reset.” Richard nodded. “Back to the beginning.” Adrian frowned. “You mean war?” Richard shook his head.

"Reginald! You hit me for her? If it weren't for her, you would've chosen me! You were supposed to marry me!" Reginald looked down at her, full of disgust. "If marrying someone like you was my only option, I'd rather be dead. In this life, I'll only ever have one wife—Celine." Caroline screamed, crazed. "You hated me in the previous life, and now you treat that whore like treasure?" She turned her mad gaze to me. "You did something, didn't you? Those black-finned mer-babies were supposed to be mine! You stole them! Celine, you thief! You wretch!"

I avoided Marcus and went to the study. When I unlocked my phone, I found exactly what I expected—Mirabelle was livestreaming. In my previous life, she had done the same thing, sharing her "day in the life of a rich family's housekeeper" online. She even claimed she was going to follow the lady of the house and challenge herself to reverse aging in thirty days, going from 40 back to 20. At the time, her viewers were in stitches, flooding the chat with comments. "Ma'am, you'd have to be remade from scratch. If you can go back to 20 in 30 days, I can go back to kindergarten!"

My whole body felt weak and limp. After a long while, I whispered hoarsely, “Ron… what do I do now? I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to start. I don’t know how to live anymore…” “Ethan…” he began. “Use this place as a sign of a new beginning. Start here. Rebuild your life here. Learn. Grow. Work. Move forward. Forget the past—forget your father’s family. Focus on building something for yourself. That is the only way to truly move on.”

I didn't want them to end up like I had in my previous life and how Lila had ended up in this life. Instead, I wanted them to be like cacti that possessed tenacious vitality.

His heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. Payton wished he could press the rewind button. He regretted the poor decisions he had made, which turned his life upside down. He sat in the car and sobbed like a child. He hadn’t lost only his wife and son but his entire world. Due to the time difference between South Africa and Melbourne, Samantha woke up at 6 am. Then she walked to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Samantha picked up her phone from the nightstand, then she dialed Harvey Stanton’s number. When the call was connected, she said, smiling, “Hello, Mr Stanton. How are you doing?”

Selene smiled. “You’re very quick.” Ryan frowned. “Can someone explain this in non-evil genius language?” Daniel spoke slowly. “A managed reset means letting parts of the system collapse… while protecting the most important parts.” Ryan blinked. “…So basically financial surgery.” Daniel nodded. “Yes.” Emily’s voice trembled slightly. “And millions of people will still suffer.” Selene didn’t deny it. “Yes.” Her honesty made the room colder. “But if we do nothing…” She looked at the screen again.

Theo was on the phone, speaking in a voice filled with concern. "Don't worry, son. Just rest and recover overseas. I've already spread the news about Hank kidnapping you. Your mom and I have everything ready. We'll feed it to him once he wakes up." The fear that I'd been reining in crashed into me like a tsunami. I knew the bottle of pesticide before me better than anything else. They were going to feed me the same thing that had killed me in my last life.

"The core of the Reset. You think you’re a thief. You think you stole these years from them." I couldn't speak. I just shook, the tears soaking into the fabric of my shorts. I lived through the fire. I lived through the rain. And every year, when I was about to reach the anniversary, my brain would panic. It would see me laughing with Clayton or enjoying a sunset and it would whisper: How dare you? And then, click. The lights would go out. The "Reset" was the only way I knew how to stay "innocent." If I didn't remember the life I’d built, I didn't have to feel guilty for enjoying it.

to "Degenerate." "You don't understand, Avery," Aris said, gesturing to the "Master-Key" console in the center of the vault. "The 'Atmospheric-Reset' isn't just a 'Purge.' It’s a 'Biological-Default-Setting.' It’s a way to 'Roll-Back' the DNA of every living thing on the planet to its 'Pre-Sombra-State.' No more 'Amethyst-Children.' No more 'Benthic-Predators.' Just the 'Original-Human-Standard.'"
