Truth! Rule! Start Over!

The moment Wang Yan received the last red Protagonist Card, it was as if the world had been put on pause.

The sky gradually darkened.

The sun went out, the world disintegrated, turning into strings of data, and gradually disappeared.

Wang Yan slowly opened his eyes inside the memory rewind device.

The blocked memories of reality are gradually being restored.

"Red Protagonist Card, Enoshima Junko..."

Wang Yan chuckled.

For Enoshima Junko, death is not frightening; what is truly frightening is the inability to continue existing.

Known as the "Ultimate Despair," she believes that as long as she can convey "wonderful despair" to everyone in the world, it doesn't matter if she herself dies tragically in the chaos.

Because of the sudden outbreak of the "greatest crime in history," Enoshima Junko gathered a large number of people with exceptional talents around her and quickly spread the "Concept of Despair" through online videos and television.

Human political systems around the world are falling apart at an incredible pace.

The world is plunged into darkness!

The horrific scene was unbearable to look at, and the wailing was unbearable to hear!

Ninety percent of humanity has been influenced by Enoshima Junko, plunging them into an indescribable frenzy.

All moral values crumbled and collapsed.

The law no longer exists.

It was utterly tragic.

Wang Yan was unwilling to recall the painful memories.

The surviving humans, who were unaffected, built two camps.

One is the "New World Organization," primarily composed of the remaining normally gifted individuals from the Hope's Peak Academy; the other is "Skynet," led by Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's title has officially changed from game developer/hacker to "Ultimate Ruler"!

Through the combined efforts of Skynet and the New World Organization, the world gradually returned to peace.

Then...

Wang Yan, who has earned the title of "Ruler," coldly and ruthlessly herds all the surviving humans with machines and networks.

Some believe that heroes, in their battles against Arlong, gradually grow dragon scales and eventually become the very creatures they hate.

But Wang Yan knew very well.

He didn't.

Enoshima Junko made him realize a sad truth—

Humans are creatures lacking self-control and need a strict yet loving father!

Absolute understanding, absolute fairness, absolute equality...

There is no need for sadness or despair.

Under the ruler, everyone in the post-apocalyptic world is equal in Wang Yan's eyes.

In Wang Yan's view, they were all just a bunch of uncontrollable farts.

What's the difference between dog farts and human farts?

Essentially, they are all hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane.

Therefore, there is no difference!

Under the Wang Yan, everyone is equal.

As a ruler, he did not indulge in wealth, beautiful women, or fine food.

They ate coarse white rice with egg whites and drank plain water, living a life comparable to that of an ascetic.

The "greatest and most heinous event in history" will never happen again.

Anyone who commits a crime will be executed by the mechanical military police.

Wang Yan never had the idea of drafting regulations such as the "Law on the Protection of Minors" or the "Legal Rights and Interests of Criminals".

Criminals, die!

Law-abiding citizens live!

Kindness and selflessness are encouraged.

Selfishness and evil are rejected.

Generation after generation of humans have been brainwashed by Wang Yan.

The crime rate in this world is approaching zero.

The genes of criminals have almost no chance of being passed on.

"Why..."

Exhausted, Wang Yan sighed and slowly stood up from the oxygen-rich nutrient solution, removing the dozens of tubes attached to his body.

In this "memory retracing device," 99.9% of his experiences are history repeating itself.

There are two changes.

One is Hinata Hajime, the other is Nanami Chiaki.

In the rewind device, Wang Yan's setup was that he, along with all his partners, used all their skills to save Nanami Chiaki.

In the real world...

He failed to do so.

Nanami Chiaki is dead.

Hinata Hajime was not officially recognized by the school as an "Super High School Level Ordinary Person".

Back then, Wang Yan ignored Hinata Hajime, who was practically a vacuum.

Driven by his admiration for talented individuals, Hinata Hajime voluntarily joined the school's human modification program. As test subject A, he was given the name "Izuru Kamukura" and the title of "Super High School Level Hope".

Makoto Naegi, a freshman in the Class 78, became Experiment Subject B by chance and also received the name "Izuru Kamukura," but his title was "Ultimate Hope."

Hinata Hajime and Makoto Naegi, who possess almost every human talent, have lost faith in the world.

After the two of them kept saying "boring" in Wang Yan's ear for several days in a row...

He committed suicide.

Furthermore, after the "greatest and most horrific incident in history" occurred, all the other classmates and friends were immersed in and consumed by Enoshima Junko's concept of "despair", becoming her fanatical followers.

Mikan Tsumiki, Sonia, Komaeda Nagito...

Mahiru Koizumi, Hiyoko Saionji, Gundham Tanaka...

Tanaka Gundham, Ibuki Mioda, and even the teacher Chisa Yukizome...

None were spared.

The corrupted companions killed Enoshima Junko and devoured her corpse.

Komaeda Nagito, the 77th "Super High School Level Luck," cut off his own hand in a fit of madness and took Enoshima Junko's arm from her corpse and transplanted it onto his own body, thus transforming into a new "Despair."

Even after countless battles and clashes, the Remnants of Despair have lost all hope, and these companions, like Nanami Chiaki, will never stand by his side again.

Twenty-six years have passed since I first entered Hope's Peak Academy.

In countless battles, my friends have all died.

Some die meaninglessly, like stray dogs hit by cars and killed on the roadside.

Some were personally defeated and killed by Wang Yan.

Back then, Wang Yan was full of vigor, confident and arrogant, believing that he could handle any situation.

Now he is all alone, utterly isolated, and utterly forlorn.

As we age, our memory and thinking abilities weaken significantly.

Originally, the Skynet EGO program was only responsible for handling 35% of the tasks, mainly large-scale data calculations.

Now, it can handle 49% of the affairs in human society.

Wang Yan stared blankly at himself in the mirror.

For human society, as long as one is alive, one is a cancer on the world, an original sin.

They could be caught, forced to relinquish their authority, causing the ruling program to collapse and disintegrate on its own, or even enabling some ambitious person to establish hegemony.

Now, it's time for him to leave this world.

Skynet EGO can maintain this crime-free world for a very, very long time.

Fifty years, one hundred years, or even one thousand years.

Everything that needed to be done has been done.

Wang Yan decided to end his own life.

Within the Main God Space, Wang Yan's true form observed everything that was happening in the Danganronpa Dimension.

He raised his left hand and slowly clenched it in the air.

The supplies have been received, so I might as well just indulge my mediocre and pathetic projection.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; please try again, great hero."

Wang Yan chuckled softly.

Time...

Countercurrent!

He reversed the entire timeline of the Danganronpa back to before everything began.

Wang Yan's projection retained his memories from his previous Lifetime, becoming a "reborn person".

Danganronpa Dimension.

In front of the Hope's Peak Academy.

Wang Yan looked at his hands in disbelief.

The moment he decided to end his own life, the entire world's time was swept up by an inexplicable force, and pushed back thirty years!

He's back to his student days!

A young body, a youthful appearance, and boundless energy...

Everything felt like it had gone back to decades ago.

He is no longer the "Ultimate Ruler," no longer the dictator who developed Skynet EGO and suppressed the world single-handedly.

He's just a game developer and hacker now.

Wang Yan was so engrossed in his thoughts that he accidentally bumped into a brown-haired, green-eyed boy.

"Feel sorry."

The other person seemed to lack confidence; even though he was the one who was offended, he apologized first.

"Hinata Hajime?"

Looking at the other person's face, both unfamiliar and familiar, Wang Yan smiled faintly.

Since God has given him a second chance, then...

All tragedies must be nipped in the bud.

This time, "Super High School Level Ordinary Person" is no longer a fantasy, and Izuru Kamukura will be completely sealed away in the dust of history.

Nanami will not die tragically due to Enoshima Junko's design.

Komaeda Nagito would not be driven to Extremis and ultimately die by his own hand.

"Work for me!"

I admire your talent.

Wang Yan's words left the green-haired boy completely bewildered.

He's just a nobody online, scornfully called "wannabe," not even a Mingdu...

"It seems you haven't realized your own value yet."

A glint of light flickered in Wang Yan's eyes. "What is considered ordinary, when taken to its extreme, becomes a special talent!"

(I'll be updating with about 10,000 words tomorrow, which should be enough to finish the ending. I hope you'll support me by subscribing to the official version. I've been writing this for over half a year, and I haven't even had enough money for cigarettes... It's all done out of love... Waaaaaah!)
