Chapter 1

"Saito.....Saito!!!!!"

A pretty lady who looked to be in her 20s was shouting the name rubbing the hand of a child who just seems to have made it into the group of teenagers recently.

He looks tall for his age even when he is lying down, having a straight face with no emotion.

One would really say that while God made him, he really did gave it his all while forging his face as it looked like none other than the Prince Charming, girls desire of, in their dreams (might grow up to become one someday..... who knows). Although most of it can't be seen clearly as it is covered by the shiny black hair stretching long enough to reach his chin. Taking altogether his well shaped slightly dense eyebrows and straight nose , his delicate lips along with the perfectly clear skin, his face was a work of art.

While the one holding his hand looked too much young for someone who is going to be in her 40s soon by the end of the present year. Her well-defined body having the perfect curves at perfect places along with the well-carved face, one that looks enticingly charming, who if left with nothing, will still have the affinity of genuinely caring for her loved ones. Her silky hair looked long enough as it was tied down in a big bump at the moment.

Both of them were radiating an essence of charisma , one that can only be imagined while reading about characters and scenes in a fantastical fairy tale.

The darkness surrounding his vision started to fade away slowly as it was brightening up even though everything looked blurry. He was able to open his eyes slowly as he also started to feel the warmth in one of his hands. A nostalgic feeling that he has been longing for many years. As his pale vision started clearing , he tried to look at the one holding his hand. The sight of the person made him awestruck as just a small word, a simple one and yet it carries so many emotions within, escaped his mouth.

"Mom....." His eyes felt watery.

Without wasting a single moment, he tried to get up and hold her but wasn't able to do so as his body won't let him do so in his present condition. Seeing that, his mother came close and gave him the embrace he has been longing ever since.

For her, it was just a moment of relief seeing her only child responding alright after going through such a predicament all alone but to him , it's as if all his years of struggles in desperation and sufferings, has not been in vain. Having even experienced death once, it all seems worth it. His longing has been fulfilled now. Lifting his hands, taking them to her back, he held her close.....

"This must be the time in afterlife where one's last wish is fulfilled or when he/she atleast gets to live through the moment regardless of it being an illusion" As he was mumbling happily inside , she felt his tears falling as she rose up.

"Let's go see the doctor, Sai. I know it's hurting too much but just bear a bit more son."

She then gently placed his hand on the bed and got up hurriedly, turning towards the door and leaving the room a moment later, having no idea that the cause of those tears wasn't merely just these physical wounds. The wounds that caused these tears to fall was cut much deeper..... inside, and has been hurting thousand times more for years now.

"So it's all over now. Time to go then" Sighing deeply , he exhaled a long heavy breath closing his eyes slowly waiting for going into nothingness but.....nothing is happening.

Tick tick tick tick

The clock keeps ticking and my face is starting to feel sticky from all those tears still there.....

"Wait..... feeling sticky"

He opened his eyes furiously in shock as a sudden realization hit him hard. Even though the pain isn't that much compared to what he has been through moments ago, he can feel it. He can feel pain. His right hand rose up instinctively as it slapped the face of the bearer making a tight slap, the sound of which resonated deep into the corridor just outside the room , which will definitely leave a huge red mark on his face later on.

"I can feel it" His face brightened as he started to feel the heat that started to emit out of his cheek as well as the warmth of his own body touching his face , lips, nose , chest , waist , ..... nevermind. He can feel everything from the sensation of touch to pain. He looked around to look for something and there it is , lying flat on the nightstand.

"My phone"

"Let's see what year is it. If I am not wrong, it should be....."

He picked it up and unlocked it as a look of affirmation can be seen on his face.

"I was right. It's the year 2062. So I have really come back in time..... 30 years back at that"

This was something he hadn't anticipated at all.

Another chance at life ? Back to the beginning after the end ? He was full of doubts but those weren't enough to overwhelm the sense of joy and happiness he was feeling within..... for getting a chance to live again.

"Aaah" He grumbled as he felt a sharp pain in his head.

Certainly 42-years worth of memories is too much for a 12-year old brain to handle altogether even though it's the same person, it is too much..... Though looks like it can contain all of it as the pain is starting to settle down alright.

The pain felt similar to a hangover and now he feels sober enough to think rationally about everything.

"None of these makes sense as to how it all has come to this. The idea of going back in time is simply too absurd though..... the world we live in is absurd too afterall it is a world....."

".....a world where something like mana and spiritual power exists and so does many kinds of creatures, causing all kinds of troubles for humanity"

It's true..... The normal earth we all know of has ceased to exist when suddenly one day , 22-years back from now in the year 2040, ground breaking earthquakes followed by huge volumtuous volcanic eruptions along with the huge sea waves flooding all over the nearby regions allover the world caused a huge turmoil throughout everywhere from top of the mountains to the deepest parts of the ocean. The chaos it caused was felt deep.

People got very much numb to react to it all and preferred taking the help of the Government as they demanded low-levelled refugee camps, safe from any breaking, and started living in them temporarily.

Soon many weird looking tall tombs emerged out of the grounds with monsters appearing and what simultaneously appeared along with them was the extraordinary powers that was possessed by just few of the human beings, where the lowest ranked one is strong enough to break a thick well-built wall with just a punch using bare hands. The powers belonged just to the chosen ones who were soon called as the 'Unordinary'. The power they carried was essential for humanity to live through this calamity and someday take back the world to how it was someday, to the world that once used to be far less chaotic.

*********

"Even considering how absurd everything is, turning back time seems too much unless God of time is making a play himself" He mumbled.

"Whatever it is, I will know soon enough but for the immediate matters at hand right now, I should get a hold of myself and think about the way I will continue living through my second chance in life planning everything ahead" He muttered.

"30 years worth of experience and knowledge prior to everything that's going to happen....." A wide grin shone on his face.

"I will use it all too well this time" With a smile on his face , he declared that as if looking forward to everything that is to come his way.....obviously knowing about all of them beforehand.

"It won't be the same this time, my dear Sandra..... this time I will conquer it all"
