### Summary
Trapped in a grueling time loop to prevent an asteroid from destroying Earth, protagonist Cheolsu is now on his third attempt. His second life ended in another catastrophic failure after twenty years of effort, a collapse seemingly caused by his unreliable companion, Taekhu. This repeated loss has transformed Cheolsu into a cynical and resigned figure, mockingly "cheered" by a "Good Effort" stamp as he was sent back in time once more. Now reset to his middle school years, he has encountered a new potential ally: another student who is exceptionally knowledgeable about technology. However, Cheolsu appears to have made a tactical error, saying something that has created a new challenge of having to convince this skeptical "friend" of his seemingly impossible mission. The narrative now centers on whether Cheolsu can successfully recruit this tech-savvy peer, a crucial first step in forging a new path to avert the apocalypse.
