Reborn 60 years before

Before Gondola period

Blue planet – Pangea continent

Laputa kingdom

…

The sun hung high up in the blue sky as always, sending light and warmth down to the streets. The massive statue of Apollo, the god of the light, under the illumination of sunlight, stood shiny and sparkling, radiating an air of wonder and magnificence.

Zerento city, the capital of the Laputa kingdom, was the largest trade and technology hub city on the Blue planet. This city was housed one of the biggest religions in the continent, the Temple of light. There were a lot of shrines dedicated to light deities distributed over the city.

This Zerento city was also the most populated city on the continent. It had a frightening amount of population which numbered almost twenty million people. Over here, the businesses were flourished, and a large number of people traveled back and forth on a daily basis. Countless merchants and students from various countries had come here with their own dreams and aspirations. The amount of money circulating in the daily economy of the city usually amounted to several hundreds of billions.

In one late afternoon, at Life Science Academy (LSA), the top high school in the Pangea continent in science and technology, there was a fine-looking young man sleeping on the wooden desk in one of the classrooms.

"Murong…Murong…Murong!!!"

"Huh"

Suddenly, Chen Murong opened his eyes. The white light flooded through his vision for a while. When he was able to see what in front of him, he couldn't help being confused by the scene.

"Where am I?", Chen Murong startlingly asked himself.

"Where are you? Of course, in Math class, mate…Damn, how can you sleep in Mrs. Wang's class?... There is an exam next Monday."

"Exam?"

"Yes, moron. You were lucky. She didn't notice you. Hahaha."

Liu Wu!

So, it works! I had a serious doubt in my mind when I selected this risky time magic skill – reincarnation. I can't believe I am staring and talking with my best childhood friend. He died in the human - dark elf war 40 years ago. I saw him dead in front of me while I could do nothing. So, after living in Gondola for 50 years, I have come back to Blue planet again! Now, I am in my high school in Laputa kingdom, but I have to figure out when am I.

"Liu Wu, what is today's date?"

"Can you just take a look at your phone? You are too lazy, mate. Today is 12th January 2024."

So, it turns out to be around 60 years ago. There is still a year left before the apocalypse period begins. I still have plenty of time to prepare. At the moment, Chen Murong decides that he cannot allow the mistakes of his past life to repeat themselves. He will use what he has learned over his sixty years of struggling to become someone who will change the destiny of the human race.

"By the way, what is your plan today? Do you want to go to central market after school?", asked Liu Wu.

"No, I will go back to Xia kingdom today.", replied Chen Murong. In Murong's mind, he has missed his family very much. He has to restrain himself not to go to Chen family's manor immediately.

"Oh, what is the matter?", Liu Wu asked with a surprised look.

"You rarely go home during semester."

"Nothing. Just would like to visit family for the weekend."

"Ok, we can hang out together later next week then.", Liu Wu dismissed the conversation without any further thoughts.

"Umm", replied Chen Murong.

Then, Chen Murong went back to his mind thinking again. After patiently sitting in other classes for the last two hours, the school bell has finally sounded.

Chen Murong quickly wrapped up his school bag and said goodbye to Liu Wu. It is time for him to finally go home.
