Chapter 1

"Ahhhh...."

Life sucks, yeah I know there are people more miserable than me out there somewhere and nobody cares. But still, if I can exchange my life for a second chance to fix my life I will do it without hesitation.

Like I have nothing to lose anymore, if I have it will be my life. Should I just kill myself? Nah it's troublesome and it just making more problems for other people.

"Huft. What should I do? Ehh..."

Suddenly out of nowhere, there's this game-like prompt in front of my face. Mind you I'm still in bed and just like any other wasted person contemplating my life choices.

[If you have a second chance to live your life all over again, would you take it?

Y/N]

Huh. Neat.

Is this the cliché regression plot like the stories I've read? Then so why it's me? Whatever, I will just take it for granted, lest the one who give me this change their mind.

I sit leaning my back on the cupboard of my bed. Breathe in, breathe out trying to calm down my beating heart out of excitement. And using my index finger to touch the Y button on the prompt.

[Are you sure?

Y/N]

Poking the second Y button in a heartbeat without hesitation.

[Congratulations! You will be sent to the past on your 15th birthday in 5 seconds.

Enjoy and good luck.

I feel lighter like I've never been and I just want to fall asleep, then everything is black.

...

..

.

"Hah!"

Forcing myself to be awake, I look around my room. It's just like how it used to be when I still lived with my family. A window on the left of my bed, planked with a study desk on my right, and a closet filled with my clothes in the corner of my room. A really simple bedroom.

Walking to the closet, I found myself looking at my face in the mirror. Smooth face with no stubble mustache, messy short hair, and sharp eyes. Lifting my shirt up, just as expected no sign of muscles just bones and skin.

"Haha..."

I chuckled, couldn't believe it was real. Searching for my phone, I found it on top of my desk. Asus ZenFone 5, is the very first android phone that I have. Checking the date, it's 6th June 2014, exactly on my 15th birthday. So I regressed 9 years from the future.

"Now with 9 years of future knowledge, I can change the future not just for myself but for my family and friends."

I may be a selfish person, but helping other people when I can is a different thing. With that concluded, it's time to start my first step to a better future.

"Let's go to school."

"Wow..."

My brain was short-circuited, I didn't even react like this when I got Raiden on Genshin. Okay, enough of that distraction, it's 4 am right now and school starts at 7.30. What should I do first?

Can I create a quest? Considering the first quest appear when I decided I want to go to school. Okay, let's try it. How about exercising daily? I need to build this body when I am still growing, look at that 8 Str and these stick arms.

Oh boy... I hope I don't get bald. Let's start with running first, it will at least take about 1 hour and 20 minutes for 10 km. After that all the other exercises.

Putting on a hoodie and training pants, I go downstairs passing my parent's bedroom and my little sister's. Only snoring sounds came out of both rooms. Finally, on downstairs, nostalgia came crushing on me, there are many memories but now..No need to mull it all over again.

Going out of my house, warm up for 5 minutes and then I start running at a medium pace, only after 20 minutes do I feel tired.

"Hah.. hah.. Really? It's only 20 minutes..I won't stop now or my legs will give out..hah..

"Haha..."

And do I have to do this exercise daily? Whatever, if I want to have a healthy body I need to do this and luckily when I have my stats maxed out I won't need to maintain my muscles like other people because I have Gamer's Body.

After 40 minutes of exercise and a break in between, my arms and legs feel like jelly. Emptying my water bottle into my mouth, and forcing myself to stand up heading to the shower.
