Another Chance: I Returned Before the Alien Invasion

Rafael Quintero had already seen the end of the world. A physicist and engineer who spent his entire life chasing knowledge, Rafael survived World War III, watched the world descend into chaos, and fought alongside humanity against an enemy that came from beyond the stars. When mysterious rifts began appearing across the world, humanity discovered that it was not alone in the universe. The creatures that emerged from those rifts possessed technology far beyond anything Earth could create—and something even more terrifying.Magic.With his extraordinary memory and scientific knowledge, Rafael devoted everything he had to understanding the enemy. He reverse-engineered alien technology, uncovered the secrets of Aether and Mana, and eventually helped humanity launch one final assault against the invaders’ world. One hundred thousand soldiers entered. Almost none came back. Rafael was one of them. Mortally wounded and standing on an alien world, he activated the gateway that could have been humanity’s last hope. Then everything went dark. When Rafael opened his eyes again, he wasn’t on the battlefield. He was fourteen years old. His family was alive. His country was still at peace. World War III was still years away. The rifts had not yet appeared. And most importantly, he remembered everything.The wars.The inventions. The alien technology. The people he failed to save. And the girl he loved but was too afraid to confess to. This time, Rafael refuses to repeat the same mistakes. But knowing the future isn’t enough. He is still a fourteen-year-old boy from a poor family, with no influence, no laboratory, and barely enough money to get through school. So Rafael starts with the one thing he has always possessed.Knowledge.He will use his memories of the future to build wealth, establish a company, recruit the people he trusts, and eventually construct a secret laboratory hidden somewhere in the Philippines. Then he will build something humanity never had before. Machines capable of building machines. Technology capable of changing the balance of power. And weapons capable of giving humanity a fighting chance. His goal isn’t to become the richest man in the world. It isn’t to rule a country. It’s much simpler than that. He wants his homeland to survive. Because Rafael has already lived through the future once. And this time, he intends to build a different one. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Another Chance: I Returned Before the Alien Invasion — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
