A Second Chance in Time

Hi, I’m Mark and while I’m not the strongest and neither do I have any unique ability, most of my opportunities being either wasted or given away one way or another, I’m the one that survived the most. Now that I think about it, this life is pretty miserable. I got my ups and downs, but because I rushed at the beginning, I ruined my entire future and the only thing keeping me alive is my ability to adapt and survive. That’s it. No magical abilities. No genius talent. The most unique ability I had was an ability the “survivor” title gave me called “The survivor”. Oh, look, I'm about to be killed aaaaand I'm dead. ... . . Die, they said, you will receive eternal rest they said, but where is the eternal rest?! “Hello and welcome to the Regression and Reincarnation agency. Due to your peculiar achievements, you have been fo- ahem, given the chance to go back in time, as well as three wishes.” –––––––––––––––––– Follow Mark on his journey to change his ending, see his rises and falls and journey with him together in this story through your imagination. ______________________ This is my first book and my native language isn't English, so expect grammar mistakes and so on. You will find no harem in here because webnovel is filled with harem stories and second, I'm absolutely tired and bored of reading harem stories, so I'm making a book myself. Same for swords, they are everywhere, so they got boeing quickly, so MC will NOT be wielding a sword. The closest thing to sword you'll get is a knife. Either way, enjoy my book and if you don't like it, just stop reading, no need to write comments or reviews about how, from your perspective, the story is. _______________

Dear Diary,... 1

After I opened my diary, I start writing

August 13, my sixth birthday

I am very tall for someone my age, so some even call me a ten-year-old

Turns out the 'Blessing of fortune' that the system or Rex spoke of, I don't remember, influences both parents to do 2 decisions that will make life better for the family.

The company that my parents own, "Lochem Industries", is the proof of that, though apparently, it's only in the top 5 of the biggest change someone has received.

I went do the doctor last month and when she touched me, she was surprised how hard I was so she did a check and look and behold.

My muscles are 7 times denser than the average adult, my bones are 5x and my skin, while remaining as flexible, is 3x tougher than the average adult male.

'You're gifted with a powerful body, you should become a policeman or a firefighter', she said, but no way in hell am I listening to this.

My accomplishments:

-One and a half year ago I started learning the guitar and the piano at the same time

-My stat avg. limit got to 14, that's only thanks to my child body and high 'Adapt' rank 

-I started learning forging, though only once a week and I started a month ago.

-I have zero friends, none, my mom is mad at this, but it is what it is, I have absolutely no need for friends like these kids. I tried making friends, but they just gave me all the burden and grabbed all the good things.

-My parents got their hand on a teacher that can teach me two of the five languages I wish to learn: Lithuanian and ancient Roman. They're a pain in the ass to learn, to put in nicely.

'Since both languages are old, they also got a bunch of their old rules and stuff. For example, Lithuania has at least three words just for running and all of them have subtle differences, let's not talk about walking forward, that has at least five words.

As I said before, it's a pain.'

-The quest 'the punishment of the Greedy' - completed, rewards delayed due to system (Gods') interferance. I'm just exhausted now so I won't even mention it and probably will forget it.

-Learn martial arts, there is a place that teaches spear wielding and another that teaches about knifes, but they refused to teach me, saying I was too small.

'The martial arts teacher said that I was amazing in fights and if I wanted that to be my main job. It was very tempting, but my parents refused, I as well, since, after experiencing the joy of creating, I wish to just create, though I found out that I like stuff like painting, forging, sculpturing and so on.'

'What I don't like is creating on the computer'

-I started learning tap dance, luckily there were almost no girls, though there was only one other boy and the rest were men. It's fun once you get used to it, but at first it got awkward for me being the only boy

(I didn't even try to talk with the other boy, I'm not even acknowledging his exitance)

-I reached the peak of what I can reach without advancing to the first stage in "The Ten Gates of Impossibility", that's kinda impressive, but the system blocked any chance of progress, so as an apology, she removed the need to do my training method until my body can handle the upgrade.

'There is too little energy in your body and outside, this method of training was made when mana was abundant for people who had a lot of mana inside, as a compensation, I'm slowly gathering mana in your reserves and I'll inform you once you can break through' or so she says.

-I started investing under my parents' name, they made an alt account, so now I'm making 10 euro per month, they take away the rest, unless I use to invest more.

'My parents say that 'If we give you all of the money you have, you will bring too much candy home', but we all know that is bullshit, don't we, mom.'

And I stop writing as I take the chance to look over at my stats

Quest log]

'So, I still haven't recovered from my training.'

I have been staying home as it is now summer holiday and I have broken my leg due to me falling from 3 meters.

I was climbing a tree as I forgot that I weighted 50 kg, so I hoped on a weaker branch and before I felt it, I was already falling.

I received a lot of bruises and my hip bone and spine cracked because of this. 'Regeneration' and 'adapt' helped me a lot as I am already recovered from the crack and my legs are almost recovered.

I was still doing exercises, but my dad lessened the strain and I did arms and neck only exercises, plus stretches and active recovery exercises and running.

'This will speed up your recovery' my dad said and I believe that because… 'Science'.

'A good answer, I must say. Just like my life, it was good. Wake up at 6am, train, sleep, wake up at 7.30am, eat, go to kindergarten, read/study/repeat, eat, leave kindergarten, rest, train, eat, train, rest, eat, train, rest, study/read/work, eat, rest, sleep, repeat'

'A good life, simple, no job, no friends, no bitches, … no life.'

'A good life without a life, so just good, nothing more, nothing less'

'My usual workout contains of running in the morning, forging and full body workout after that, though my dad also trains my flexibility.'

'He says that 'Since you decided to learn how to fight, you must be flexible to have the biggest range of motion humanly or inhumanly possible', so now I'm so flexible I can suck myself of, though I'm not doing that, in fact, I'm not beating any meat at all.'

'Testosterone is the most important hormone of the male human body. It has many benefits, like increasing strength, natural charisma and so on, so I'm not doing anything that might decrease it.'

'Such as beating my meat, drinking unfiltered water and so on.'

'Yes, I did my homework and now I know a lot about testosterone and so on.'

'Now, I also developed a technique for sensing the body and the things happening inside.'

'System, remind me again, why do you not list it as a skill?'
