1 Part 1 “summer sucks ass”

As the days left until summer dwindle away I can feel the enjoyment being slowly gripped and pulled away from my body. With pain slowly coming to reside in the emptiness left behind.

While this summer wasn't one of particular happiness it wasn't one of sadness either.

Nothing grand happened, which isn't particularly a bad thing. I actually quite enjoy listless days such as that. I would rather spend my day sitting in my bed watching anime or reading manga than spending it learning in an unfulfilling school where mediocre is rewarded.

My social life has fallen to almost crumbles as my bad habits persist in my daily life. Or at least I like to think that. In reality I have no need to dread school because I am a capable student with apt social skills.

Yet I still feel a heavy emptiness when something like school takes up time that can be spent doing something I enjoy. This is, in general, what everyone can relate with me on. That school feels like a waste of time. I don't hate on school because it teaches you worthless knowledge but rather because the time they spend teaching you that knowledge takes up valuable time that seems to be slowly falling from my grasp.

Time is the thing I hold most dear to myself.

If I could double or even triple the amount of time I had for anything I would feel blessed beyond imagination. This is where my obsession and wish to be placed into a time loop is derived.

Spending boring days doing things I only kind of enjoy is the path that would result in an enjoyable life.

Life isn't that kind though. We have things like school and work to deal with. But if I were to be placed in a time loop that resets at the end of each summer and places me back at the beginning I would have infinite time on my hands. That would be the ideal situation.

A time loop that resets everyday would be utter hell. But I can't be too picky. A time loop would be a very grand thing that I still wish to be placed in.

Saying all this, it is the last day of summer. Tomorrow is when dread will fill my heart. So for now sleeping is all I can do. These few hours will be bliss. I really do wish I was stuck in a time loop....

RING RING

"...... shit"

I turned off my alarm and hesitated in getting up. When I finally gained the energy I got up and sat on the edge of my bed.

With my hands forming a triangle against my face I sat there for a few minutes.

With a few rubs I felt awake enough to get up.

I got changed and grabbed my backpack which was next to the door.

I hesitatingly walked down the stairs.

When I reached the bottom I took a seat and began putting on my shoes.

The house was filled with the aroma of freshly made eggs and sausage. It seemed my mom was making breakfast.

But this early? Shouldn't she be at work?

With my shoes tied I stood up and headed for the door. It was about 7:30 in the morning.

"I'll be off"

"What? Why? Where are you going?"

My mom send back a question.

What does she mean. Isn't school today?

I grabbed out my phone and looked at it's clock.

7:26 June 3rd

Wait

What

June 3rd? That's the day summer started this year...

No way.

"Hey mom"

"Yes?"

"Is it summer?"

"Yeah... do you not remember? You were so excited yesterday too. You came home and yelled 'YESSS SUMMER IS FINALLY STARTED"

..... I don't remember doing that.

"Oh it is. Sorry, I became brain dead for a little there"

"No it's fine."

She waved her hand back and forth.

"Do you want some eggs?"

"Sure"

She loaded up a plate with eggs, toast, and sausage and handed it to me.

"Thanks"

I put some more pepper on it and headed up the stairs after taking my shoes off.

I set the plate down on my desk and sat on my bed.

"What the fuck. How. How am I back at this day. Did I skip school or go back to the beginning of summer?"

I pulled up the calendar on my phone.

June 2020

So it's still 2020.

"What does this mean"

Am I now indefinitely stuck in a time loop that consists of the entire summer?

Because if so, holy fucking shit. This is awesome.

"It actually happened"

Man..... I'm shivering with excitement.

I'm actually stuck in a time loop. I can now live out my boring lifestyle for eternity.

Thank you god. I will use this opportunity of a lifetime by gratefully wasting the infinite time that has been bestowed upon my worthless existence.

I grabbed my phone and pulled up Crunchyroll.

As I thought, none of my anime are caught up with where I really am. And all the ones that were stuck in my watchlist are now disappeared. I can assume all my manga is the same.

Well if memory serves me right I can get to where I actually am for all of them in an hour or so.

(Dressrosa Spoilers. Just skip to end of long paragraph)

I laid down on my bed and began watching One Piece. I was at the end of Dressrosa. I've already caught up on the manga, just watching the anime now. Dressrosa is a truly spectacular arc. Not only is the Doflamingo fight amazing but the build up to it is really something. Oda did a great job of introducing many new and interesting characters like the dwarves and the gladiators that really show just how good of a villain Doflamingo really is. The overlying story of the toys being forgotten humans is also very intriguing and gives a dark tone to the arc which I very much enjoy in any anime that I watch. That's why I enjoy Attach on Titan so much. Because of how dark it is. I also enjoy the length of Dressrosa. I tend to enjoy longer shows and arcs. Although it drags much more in the anime that in the manga. The reveal of Sabo was also a very unexpected thing. And him ending with the mero mero no mi gave me butterflies in my stomach. The utter thought of Sabo getting the fruit of his dead brother shivers me to the bone. The entrance of Gear 4 Luffy also left me stunned. It came out of left field and hit me hard. I would talk about it more but I lack the intellect to write a long and wrung out review of a series so you can just take my word for it's brilliancy.

Man. I can't help but smile while thinking about the seemingly endless possibilities that I have.

The endless possibilities that will never be done because I fully plan on watching anime and reading manga until I have seen every single anime and read every manga.

Once that goal has been fulfilled then I have no clue what I'm going to do. I'll be 30 years old in a 16 year old body by then at that point. I'm sure that won't be a problem though.

I do enjoy reading novels and there is endless things I can learn and gain from reading them so I might just pick up that. I've read Classroom of the Elite and I enjoyed that quite a lot.

For a seemingly endless time I have things I can do. I feel the cons of being in a time loop will not affect me any time soon. I've kept back my inner thoughts with ease my entire life anyways. Only using them for ironic jokes among friends and such. I can hold myself back even if said cons affect me in multiple loops time.

For now at least I will be living my absolute dream, ... eternity of free will.
