And you know what? I almost didn't wake up. Or maybe it was the most surreal moment ever. One second, 2044 just felt normal – kinda stressful with all the end-of-the-world stuff brewing, right? And then... BAM! My eyes fly open, and suddenly… we're twenty years earlier than expected.
It’s like my head hit a rewind button on absolute steroids. Year is still ticking over at 2044, but everything else feels fundamentally different. The air crackles with something new, something yet to be discovered – or maybe just re-discovered?
So here I am, Woo Hwijae for those keeping score, suddenly thrust into this fresh timeline where the apocalypse hasn't happened… not yet anyway! My original plan? Yeah, that whole saving-the-world thing was definitely on the back burner. Now my main focus is figuring out how to *change* the future so it doesn’t end at all.
The phrase ‘I’ll Retire After Saving The World’ just kinda popped into my head naturally like this. It feels right for where things stand now, trying to prevent a disaster that was supposed to happen down the line. My retirement plan suddenly involves dodging literal doomsday scenarios instead of counting days off!
