A Second Chance in Time

Hi, I’m Mark and while I’m not the strongest and neither do I have any unique ability, most of my opportunities being either wasted or given away one way or another, I’m the one that survived the most. Now that I think about it, this life is pretty miserable. I got my ups and downs, but because I rushed at the beginning, I ruined my entire future and the only thing keeping me alive is my ability to adapt and survive. That’s it. No magical abilities. No genius talent. The most unique ability I had was an ability the “survivor” title gave me called “The survivor”. Oh, look, I'm about to be killed aaaaand I'm dead. ... . . Die, they said, you will receive eternal rest they said, but where is the eternal rest?! “Hello and welcome to the Regression and Reincarnation agency. Due to your peculiar achievements, you have been fo- ahem, given the chance to go back in time, as well as three wishes.” –––––––––––––––––– Follow Mark on his journey to change his ending, see his rises and falls and journey with him together in this story through your imagination. ______________________ This is my first book and my native language isn't English, so expect grammar mistakes and so on. You will find no harem in here because webnovel is filled with harem stories and second, I'm absolutely tired and bored of reading harem stories, so I'm making a book myself. Same for swords, they are everywhere, so they got boeing quickly, so MC will NOT be wielding a sword. The closest thing to sword you'll get is a knife. Either way, enjoy my book and if you don't like it, just stop reading, no need to write comments or reviews about how, from your perspective, the story is. _______________

End of the 'short' training montage

<5.5 month time skip>

Labor is bitter they said, the sweetness of the fruit of labor can cover it up they said, but why do I still feel the bitterness even though 'Teleport' has ranked up.

[Your poetic sense is praiseworthy in this situation, though it wouldn't sell well]

Thanks for the compliment

[You're welcome]

Now what

[Go to work honey]

Nah, I'm going to buy milk

[Enough with the jokes]

No

[I'll transfer the baby you's memories]

Fuck you

[Uno reverse card]

*Cough* *Cough* Why have you wounded me so critically

[Because you have a vibrant imagination]

Play along will you, you're the villain, I'm the victim, there is no hero

[Ok, I pull the gun and shot you in the head, you're dead]

If you don't want to play along then say so

[Give me a sec., I'm applying for a change of hosts, you're too much of a pain to deal with, my salary is not enough to deal with this daily]

But we only talk like once a week

[Shut it, the application is already received]

...

[I need a psychologist]

I'm supposed to be the insane one, not you, you're the one that prevents me from being insane.

[I apologize that you are half way there in getting the 'Insanity Resistance' skill.]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's too close of a distance for me, lengthen it

[Ok]

YES, how far is it now?

[Still half way]

I'm going to stand in a corner, it's warm there, 90 degrees is just enough to get me the 'heat resistance' skill

[There are no corners in this space]

I'll make one by summoning two magic books

[You can't or your training up until now will go to waste since you will go above your magic regeneration capacity]

Then I'll modify the barrier so that it can have corners.

[Your control over the 'barrier' skill is too poor for this, the most you can do now is make it denser]

Then I will make a hollow giga fire ball with corners inside it

[Not enough mana, 'fire ball' rank too low, don't have 'giant fire ball' skill, 'mana manipulation' rank too low]

Don't crush my dreams so fast, you're almost crushing me as well.

['Fast' means 'almost, nearly, fast, quickly' in german, depends on the context. Now thing about what you said.]

Congratulations, you have learned 'Headache resistance'. That's the notification I'm hoping for.

[Won't get it that fast, you're not even 10% of the way there]

Why am I so close to getting 'Insanity resistance', but not this.

I want do deal with Insanity, not headaches

[Well, deal with it, you're a man]

Technically I'm a kid, but...

[Inside you're still a man]

THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY

[No]

Yes

[No]

How close am I to G+ rank 'teleport'?

[1%]

Ok, yay, now what

[Go to work, honey]

I'll go buy milk on the way then

[Ok, we need two bottles of it]

Sure, now I'm off to smoke weed

[The Shop doesn't sell weed and even if it did, you couldn't consume it, the lowest ranking drug that can affect souls is epic rarity]

[Also, drugs are super effective, so don't bother even trying drugs unless you want to get the 'drug-addicted child' title, which has more downsides that benefits.]

Oh, yeah, a bad title can truly ruin your future.

I've seen multiple people that had the potential to be powerhouses ruin their entire futures by getting a bad title.

I remember this one case where a son of a conglomerate family with a SSS- talent limit got the 'True Bad Addict' title which not only made him lower his talent limit to D+ rank, but his stat-per-level gain got reduced to 3 and he got a single sp per 20 level.

All this just because of a single title. System, can you tell me how he got that title?

[He got it after getting addicted to alcohol, drugs, his kinks and other things that are bad for you, but are easy to get addicted with.]

Oh, then how much coins do I have

[50]

How far till I can buy 'cold heart'?

[What rank?]

F-

[160 copper coins]

Why so expensive?

[Actually it's cheap, but your mind got un-used to expensive skill prices, keep in mind that SSS rank skills could cost millions or even billions of platinum coins.]

How am I gonna gather all that money.

Meh, I'll leave this problem to the future me

A/N: <20 year old Mark's POV> (Imagine him screaming) Why didn't I plan this out sooner?!

Ok, time to train

Such melancholy I am getting from this phrase, maybe I should make this my life philosophy?

[You should]

Ok, I will

[I'm joking]

I'm not

Ok, training awaits

<7 month time skip>

[Congratulations host, 'Teleport' has ranked up to F- rank]

[Congratulations, you have finished the quest, rewards have been transferred to you already]

[Congratulations, you have 15 days, 6 hours, 20 minutes left for free time]

FINALLY, now let's sleep FIRST, you understand system, let me rest, block all calls, all messages, anything that can disturb my sleep.

[Sure, rest, you don't deserve it]

Why

['Couse I said so]

Ok, good night

<5 day time skip>

It was a nice nap I must say

[If another normal human heard that you consider sleeping 5 days straight a nap I'm willing to bet 5 platinum coins that it will shock them]

Oh, I slept for 5 days, that's surprising, now let's rest more

[Your total status avg. limit has increased]

How high it is now

[10]

Is that high?

[For a four year old human, this is extremely high, as only 7 races can have the same total stat average at four years old]

Now, the notifications, quickly, before I go to sleep again.

[You can't, but ok, either way, here comes the notifications]

[Congratulation, quest 'Training montage for kids' has been successfully complete]

[Here is the quest reward: 10 silver coins, 'Minor Skill Upgrade Token' x 2, 'Item Token (Uncommon)' x1]

Oh, I totally forgot about them, did all the regressors got the same quest?

[Yes, though four of them rejected it]

Then how many regressors are there now?

[10]

That's nice, so are their rewards the same?

[No, they got rewards that are the most suited for them}

[By the way, you are the one who got the most money, but the least items]

That's nice to know, though bring in the other notifications.

[Understood]

[Congratulation, 'fatigue resistance' has ranked up to F rank]

[Congratulation, 'fatigue resistance' has ranked up to F+ rank]

[Congratulations, 'Illness resistance' has ranked up to F- rank]

[Congratulations, 'Memory palace' has ranked up to G rank]

[Congratulations, 'Training' has ranked up to E- rank]

[Congratulations, 'Training' has ranked up to E rank]

[Congratulations, 'Resting' has ranked up to F- rank]

[Congratulations, 'Training' has ranked up to F rank]

[Congratulations, 'Training' has ranked up to F+ rank]

[Congratulations, 'hard soul has ranked up to F rank]

Stop for a second, how did I get a rank up in 'hard soul'?

[What do you think happens when you have a passive soul hardening skill and you soul is under constant pressure?]

Yep, then the rank up is logical. Is that notification the last?

[No, there are a few more]

Then roll them

[Congratulations, you have gained the 'Rule breaker' title]

[Congratulations, you have gained the 'Law breaker' title]

[Congratulations, you have gained the 'Limit breaker' ]

[You have the options to combine the titles 'Rule breaker', 'Law breaker' and 'Limit breaker', do you accept? Y/N]
