Rebirth To Seventeen

When I woke up, what appeared in my eyes was beautiful scenery. 

Sunset; half of the sun was hiding behind the mountains. 

The sky was yellowish and the atmosphere was calm and smooth. 

The win wasn't hot nor cold, enough to give me a new but familiar feeling. 

How long has it been since the last time I saw such scenery? 

In my journey towards supremacy, within that fifty years of hell, I saw nothing but blood, and corpses, battles, and deaths. 

Wait!

What?! 

No, wait! How the hell am I still alive?! 

I am certain that I died! 

So, I did escape at the end?! 

Confusion. 

Confusion was the only word I can say to describe myself right now. 

The last thing I can remember was; I was in a grave of danger. 

The sky was covered by crimson blood and the atmosphere was creepy and dark. 

The sounds of battle were loud that made me felt deaf and the shouters of the deaths, helplessness, and begging were enough to make me feel miserable. 

I tried to defeat the Beast God but ended up getting miserably beaten. 

Even with the power, I was able to earn after forsaking for fifty years, with just a swing from the Beast God, death was bestowed upon me. 

Yes! I am certain, I am certain that I died! I can't remain alive. 

I can remember! My head was cut away from my body. I felt that the connection between my soul and my body disappeared as my heartbeat stopped. 

For me to still be breathing right now. For me to still be able to see this wonderful scenery right now, is nothing but impossible. 

Am I... Dreaming?! 

Yes! Must be that way. 

I am dreaming right now! 

No! It also is impossible. 

Haha! I don't know what to think anymore. How can I dream if I died? I didn't sleep, I died! Okay!? Okay! 

Sigh* 

But, the wonderful scenery in front of me, Why does it feel so real? 

"Bwahaha! Our real battle is just about to start! Emperor Phoenix! "

A hateful voice sounded.

"Who!? Who are you?! "

I shouted. Trying to know who the bastard just spoke. 

For some reason, I can feel the anger within me burst with just hearing the voice. 

That voice sounds so familiar! 

To see if there was someone, I tried to move. 

"Where are you! Draco! Show yourself! " 

Now, I finally remembered that voice. That voice wasn't owned by anyone but the Beasts God. The nightmare of humans! 

Draco, an existence that I failed to kill but successfully killed me. 

How dare he or how the hell can I hear his voice?! 

"Bwahaha! You used to be a nonchalant person, a legendary figure that doesn't wield to anyone, but look at how are you acting right now? You are nothing but a mere child! You need to improve first and I shall wait! " 

" See you after many years! "

Right then, the voice stopped talking and didn't speak anymore. 

Even after calling for an unknown amount of times, everything ended up as waste. 

When my voice turned hoarse, only then I stopped. 

My eyes felt so heavy and my heart was beating fast, it felt like it was about to burst at any moment. 

My eyes gradually closed as my view turned dark. 

My consciousness disappeared as I fell asleep in an unknown but familiar place. 

...

"Grandpa, use this stick so you won't fall again" 

Although grandpa sometimes was so stubborn, he also listened to me sometimes. 

The stick I made wasn't just a normal still, it was made from a shimmy tree, a tough tree. Yes, it wasn't the toughest wood but still, it was impossible to break easily. Unless someone intentionally or accidentally kicked it with full strength and it surely would break into two. 

With this stick, I can assure you that Grandpa won't fall on the ground again. 

Sigh* 

Grandpa was still as I saw him before. But of course, now, I can understand him more. 

The difficulty of raising a child wasn't something I can just discard, it was difficult, as difficult as cultivating or even more. 

"Thanks my apo! " 

He didn't give me an act of stubbornness but rather willingly took it from my hand and used it right away as he stood up and went outside the hut. 

Looking at the disappearing figure, I sighed deeply. 

It has been a month since the time I came back on time. 

Yes! I came back after death. After I got killed by the Beast God.

I don't know what he was planning, but he sent me back to the world where I was used to living, fifty years ago. 

He said it was for the preparation for the real battle between the two of us, but I still can't understand the hint he gave. 

The most I am certain of is; I have to become as powerful as possible. 

...

"98, 99, 100, 101~ " 

My body felt lighter but at the same time, heavy to move. 

After successfully reaching the supreme level, a million push-ups were nothing but a child's play to me, but at this moment, just a hundred was already enough to make me sweat and tremble. All over my body. 

"105,106,107,108~ " 

However, even with the fact that I came back to zero once again, I don't feel too many grievances, but somehow, within my heart, I can feel the excitement. 

At least, also I came back to zero, in exchange for this, my grandpa was still alive.

Family at the end of the day was more important than power and any wealth. 

"119, 120! " 

Finally, my body can't hold on anymore and I fell to the ground. My face hit the ground first before my body, which caused me to eat some dirt, but of course, there was nothing to feel disgusted about, I just casually spit it out. 

One hundred and twenty. Although I wasn't as great as when I was at the level of supremacy, for a body of a seventeen years old I currently have, it already was impressive. 

After the push-ups, I did some curl-ups and also jogged around the field. 

"Before the Beasts Attack happens, I must gain as much power as possible! "
