Juno Hale is still dead, still stuck in a medieval murder-sim, and still—permanently—Level 0.
That didn’t bother her much… until the System scheduled her entire shard for a neat, ‘nothing-personal’ rollback.
Welcome to Clockwork City: a nightmare of resetting streets, rewinding bridges, and an angel made of save files called the Rollback Seraph. Every time Juno lands a hit, the arena snaps back like someone mashed ‘reload checkpoint.’ The mobs forget. The buildings forget. The world forgets.
Juno’s body doesn’t.
Armed with a broken defender kit, a tower shield covered in civic paperwork, and the world’s most vindictive Cinematic Wardrobe Malfunction trait, Juno does what she always does with bad design:
She breaks it.
Now the shard-side kill switch is offline, the wipe timer’s gone… and up in Patchspace, the dev-gods are furious. Their answer? Compile a ‘perfect’ counter-champion from Juno’s own combat data—an Exploit Hunter built to hard-counter every dirty trick she’s ever used.
The clock may not be rewinding anymore, but something very fast, very clever, and very official just got her name pencilled in as ‘primary test case.’
