His Best Friend SHOVED Him Off a Cliff, So He REGRESSED and Got STRONGER With EVERY Second He Lived!

Su Ming remembered exactly how it felt when Jiang Yongqing shoved him from the cliff edge — the sudden weight of betrayal arriving before the fall did, followed by the monster horde waiting at the bottom. He had died at level nine after years of working toward something better, trusting the wrong person completely. He opened his eyes on awakening day, exactly three years before that moment. The North River Academy plaza looked exactly as he remembered, down to every banner and nervous student. Principal Gao Baosong was delivering the same speech. Every sentence matched his memory. The hidden system activated immediately, silent and invisible to every scanner in the academy: one experience point delivered to his body every second, continuously, without any condition or visible indicator. No battle required. No quest needed. No approval from the system's interface. He was growing stronger while standing still, while sleeping, while eating — while Jiang Yongqing was still alive and unaware that the person he had thrown off a cliff had come back. By midnight of the first day alone, he would accumulate enough points to erase years of humiliation. By the time the betrayal was supposed to happen, Su Ming would not be level nine anymore. He crossed the plaza, found Jiang Yongqing in the crowd, and punched his future murderer across the face in front of the entire academy — not as a warning, but as a statement of exactly how much had changed.
