Chapter 1Death and Regret

Leo felt like he was going to die—he really wanted to sleep.

This was one of the symptoms of radiation sickness: his brain couldn't think, his eyelids felt as heavy as if filled with lead, impossible to open, and his mind was like mush, unable to form a single thought.

But perhaps, this was the least fatal and most comfortable symptom.

He had worked in the nuclear industry for decades, always at the frontline, because he firmly believed that atomic energy was the future.

However, now it was regrettable that atomic energy was about to take away his future—after taking his mother's, it was his turn.

Did he regret it?

He didn't regret his work. On the contrary, he was proud of the strides he made ahead of others, even though that feeling of almost grasping the glory of the sun would forever leave him with regrets.

He did, however, regret going back home for meals with his mother from time to time. Maybe if he hadn't, she could've lived a little longer, even if it was just for one more meal.

But even with that extra time, he might not have cherished it.

If people knew how to cherish what they already had, how could there be any regrets?

He also regretted not taking on certain responsibilities at the right moments. Perhaps there were things he should've made decisions about, but maybe he wasn't capable of making the best choices, and he would've regretted making the wrong ones anyway.

He regretted not marrying—though if he had, his wife and children might have been dragged into this.

He also regretted—

The carousel of life suddenly paused, and Leo smiled bitterly—

Maybe he did have a few regrets.

Then he closed his eyes.

Screeeech—

The sharp sound of brakes pierced Leo's eardrums, followed by a thunderous crash, like a car flipping over.

Bang—bang—bang—bang—

Then came the sound of metal barrels hitting the ground, followed by screams, shouting, and a familiar voice—

It sounded like his mother's voice.

"Leo, the weather's nice today, the sun is shining in. I've taken your blanket out to air it. When you wake up, you can go back to sleep in it. Do you remember the smell of sunlight?"

Next to the hospital bed, a middle-aged woman with white hair was gently massaging Leo's body, speaking softly.

"Thankfully, the sun is good here, so you won't mold and turn into a little coal ball—just like Luna. When you wake up, you'll see how beautiful she's grown. And your good friends, they're all about to go to college, playing on their skateboards every day. They look so happy. You'll definitely get along with them."

As she spoke, the woman's smile began to tremble, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door. It was a nurse: "Mrs. Lee, you need to transfer your son. Someone else needs this room."

"Oh, I know, I know—can you give me two more minutes? Just two minutes."

The nurse looked at the woman, hesitated, then glanced at her watch: "Alright, two minutes, but this isn't allowed, ma'am—and you've forgotten again, you can't get too close to him, it's bad for your health."

"I know," the woman turned her head, struggling to maintain her smile, covering her face as she continued, "You can go play with your friends. I won't ruin your fun anymore, but—"

Leo's heart trembled. The woman's voice sounded just like his mother's—

He used all his strength to open his eyes, eyes that hadn't opened in years, and forced air through his parched throat, making a hoarse and strange sound in response to the unfinished sentence.

"Was I really that... playful, Mom?"

How strange. Seeing the woman before him, Leo realized she didn't exactly match the mother in his memory, but she was indeed his mother.

He had been reborn—that had to be it.

His mother's sobs abruptly stopped when she saw his open eyes, as if seeing them for the first time—

"Leo—you've woken up!"

Leo had been reborn. This was his mother, Mrs. Maya Morgan, a Latina immigrant who had taken her husband's surname, Lee, after marriage.

Three years ago, while playing on the street, a truck loaded with waste had spilled its contents. The hazardous waste had been dumped everywhere.

And Leo hadn't woken up since.

For three years, his vital signs had steadily declined, until yesterday—Leo believed the old Leo had died.

Looking at his frail body, Leo remembered the doctor's recent examination, during which his mother had spoken with the doctor.

Yet Leo could feel his body growing weaker, much like when he had been close to death in his previous life.

But guessing wasn't going to help. Leo quietly got out of bed, and his body, unused for years, collapsed to the floor. Luckily, it didn't make too much noise.

He crawled to the door and overheard the conversation between the doctor and his mother—

"Leo's body is too weak—Mrs. Lee, I'm very sorry. We don't know why he suddenly woke up, but I really don't recommend continuing treatment."

"What do you mean?! Are you suggesting my child should die? Is that a doctor's advice?!"

"Please calm down, Mrs. Lee."

"Your child has not only been chemically injured but is also showing symptoms of radiation sickness. It's not just us—even the Osborne Corporation can't treat him. His body has absorbed harmful waste, and radioactive elements have become part of him."

"You…"

Click.

Leo pushed the door open, interrupting the argument.

Seeing this, his mother rushed to him and gently supported him.

"Mom, let's go home for now."

His mother, her eyes red, was momentarily stunned, but in the end, she simply wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"Alright, let's go home."

Leo's home in this world was in Queens, a classic slum—though the good news was, it was a small standalone house.

Once home, his mother told him many things, but Leo seemed distracted.

Rebirth had given him much information—first, he was dying, with multiple incurable diseases likely afflicting him.

Secondly, he had heard a name: "Osborne Corporation."

This was the iconic high-tech company that only existed in superhero worlds—like Marvel.

That meant his illness might not be entirely untreatable.

Finally, Maya Lee, his mother, was indeed his mother—he didn't want to break her heart.

Touching the soft blanket with the scent of sunshine, the two mothers in Leo's memory overlapped.

"I've been reborn, so nothing is impossible. If I can unlock the mysteries of the atom, I can also solve the challenges of biology.

I will absorb all the knowledge of this world like a sponge. I know all the people here, their stories and achievements, so I can seize the advantage.

With advantage and effort, I can do it—science changes lives, and it starts with changing my own fate."

Lying in bed, Leo encouraged himself, reflecting on the incredible events of the day.

As an engineer who had solved countless problems in the past, he quickly adjusted his mindset—if there's a problem, solve it.

Suddenly, a window popped up in front of him.

[Yes, you can save yourself.]

[Personal panel is now online. Your determination will finally be rewarded.]

[Special Trait: Heart of Evolution has been activated.]

[Name: Leo Lee]

[Special Trait: Heart of Evolution]

[Heart of Evolution: You are ready to master everything. Your learning ability is greatly enhanced, and you won't be influenced by technological constructs.]

[Note: Great scientists are pioneers of creation, not weak-willed individuals swayed by inventions—you won't even get addicted to your smartphone.]

Leo was stunned for a moment, then eagerly pumped his fist—

Just as his mother opened the door.

"Leo?" she whispered gently, "I…"

"Mom," Leo tried to make his voice sound calm and full of energy, "Tomorrow will be better."

His mother was taken aback. She had intended to comfort Leo, but it was her son who was comforting her instead.

This might have been the biggest turning point in her life.

Leo's voice was still weak, but to Maya, it felt warm, as if Leo had been there all these years.

"Yes, tomorrow will be better. I... I have an early shift tomorrow."

"Just leave breakfast on the table. Trust me."

"Alright, Leo," Maya wanted to cry again, but she didn't, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Mom."

The door closed, and the panel in front of Leo continued to display new information.

[Unstable energy may erupt at any time. Prepare for a new world.]

Lying in bed, Leo closed his eyes—

So, it's a new world again. Let's see what can help me here.

Pokemon: A life worth living

Pete was an ordinary guy. He didn't get out much. But he had a decent job and hobbies that kept him busy. And a brother that he could rely on and so Pete was content with how his life was going. Well, until he made a robot that killed him. Yeah, it totally wasn't his own fault. Turns out, the afterlife would have to wait a little longer to claim his soul. And so he is sent to a world he created as a hobby novelist and fan fiction writer. He took the pokemon world and gave it a dash of realism. Anything that made sense to HIM was changed about the pokemon world. And that's the world he is about to be thrown into. With no mission, no goal. All he should do is live a life worth living. __________________________________________________ I'm kinda just writing this after I read one too many pokemon fanfics (god I love Borne of Caution) and I wanted something that didn't revolve around Ash or someone replacing him to become the next poke champ. I have a few plotlines ready, but I'm not even fully sold on all the pokemon I want to add. Definitely taking suggestions, though keep it non-legendary and preferably Gen I-III (because that's where he lives. The MC can't keep getting lucky finding all the super rare pokemon from regions halfway across the globe) Taking suggestions on the female lead, too. Comment in the MC POV chapter at the end or leave a review with your top 3 pokemon waifus. If I see a Vaporeon there I'll drop this fanfic (possibly). So my MC will likely choose farming and/or breeding as a profession, probably a good amount of research sprinkled in on the side. It's what I would do for sure and this is pretty much a self-insert. Even the MC's name is a play on my real name. There's no levels, no system, no talent-tiers. Sure there are pokemon with higher and lower talents, but no egghead sat their butt down and color-coded it all in my world. This is my take on what reality with pokemon would look like in the pokemon world. The MC is starting in Kanto (on route 27 just between Kanto and Johto), but will open up his farm in Johto. That's Gen2. I'll start with chapters that have 3k+++ words, but eventually it will go down to 1.5-2k I reckon. Still trying to catch some motivation to continue my other 2 fics. And honestly I'm just procrastinating my original story with this... #slowpaced #no-really-it-is-very-slow-paced #NOpokefuta #human-human-relationship-only (you degenerates) #farming #nosystem #PokemonAU #Reuniclus-is-GOAT #conspiracies May Arceus bless us all.

Persona: The Phantom Masquerade.

After making a bet with the owner of the Velvet Room. The God of Control decides to cheat by changing the soul of the Trickster who is supposed to defeat him. Placing another soul into the protagonist of Persona 5 Royal. Follow Ren Amamiya, the impostor, as he slowly begins to spread his influence. All in an act to bring entertainment to those who are watching his actions. And maybe, in order to do something more, hiding his actions in plain sight to those who observe him. With the assistance of his persona, Tartuffe. he will be able to see through the masks that humanity wears. Gaining a deeper insight into those around him. ~Now, onto the part where the author talks about the story~ To those familiar with Persona 5, my goal for this story is to create a new version of what happens in the game rather than basically rewrite everything. That includes the way the confidants develop, as well as the way the story progresses. For those unfamiliar, I also try to explain everything in a way that you will be able to follow along even if you have never played Persona 5, though I highly recommend the game to anyone who hasn't played or watched a playthrough of it. Yes, it will have the harem and the R18 in the future. However, unlike novels that are 90% lemon, and he gets the girls two chapters after meeting them, the story and romance will progress at an actually reasonable pace. So, the relationships with each person will develop naturally as they do in the game. Lastly, I want to talk about the three pillars of this story, which are the confidants, the Metaverse, and the mix of both. For the last one, I mean chapters in which one of the confidants is developed while also learning more about the Metaverse and the mystery surrounding it. Throughout the story, I will try to weave the three of them as best as I can in order to capture the appeal of the game. Anyways, that's it. Hopefully, you all enjoy the story. --- --- --- Also, I opened a discord https://discord.gg/WTgN9J3YgK. Pretty barebones at the moment cuz it's brand new. But feel free to drop by.
