Where am I?

Draco's eyes sprung open as an unfamiliar ceiling greeted him. He didn't move for a few seconds, trying to realize what was currently happening. Fortunately, he didn't feel any more pain, but he still felt somewhat weak.

As if he was drained of power.

'Where am I?' Draco thought, turning his head sideways. Only now did he understand that he was currently lying on a bed, which was placed in the corner of this small room.

'Did I survive?' Draco thought again before disregarding this idea. There was no way that he could have survived after getting pierced in the heart.

'Hell? Heaven?' Draco didn't know what to think anymore as he pushed his body upwards, closely scrutinizing the surroundings. The room seemed to be some kind of apartment, with a lot of luxurious furniture around. There were multiple paintings plastered against the walls, a restroom to the side, and two desks.

"I need more information."

Draco stood up, trying to stay steady-minded. His body felt incredibly weak and looking below, he turned even more confused.

'Wait...why am I so short?' Draco inspected his body closely, noticing that his skin was devoid of any scars. After close inspection, Draco's pupils started to shake as hundreds of different thoughts flashed through his mind.

Standing there, in the middle of the room, Draco took a deep breath and muttered.

"Status."

As soon as his words echoed throughout the room, a translucent screen appeared before him. As he read through it, Draco's breathing intensified and his heart almost popped out of his body.

"The hell?" Draco's hoarse voice came out of his mouth as he stood still, not believing his eyes. Just what the hell was happening? Where were his skills or martial techniques? Rank G-?

Draco's hands began to slowly tremble as he looked around the room once again.

No way.

Now that he examined it more closely, this room resembled the one from his memories. The place where he had spent almost an entire year before getting kicked out.

The northern academy, one of the four biggest academies in the world, and a place filled with extremely talented individuals. Unfortunately, Draco wasn't one of them.

The back of his neck turned sweaty as he gulped. Somehow, however strange it sounded, he had returned to the past when he was just 16 years old. He could clearly remember getting killed by a villain, hence there was only one answer to the current situation.

He was back in time before the hell started to break loose and the demon king descended. And, looking back towards the screen, he somehow managed to obtain a [EX] rank skill. It was the only clue he had as to how has he returned.

'I thought that SSS rank skill was the highest.' Draco thought, trying to stay steady-minded. In his past life, he hadn't even seen a skill above [S] rank, so he couldn't really add much to the topic.

"Hahh..." Draco sighed as he started massaging his forehead, suddenly feeling an enormous headache incoming. Staying calm and collected didn't really do him well as he still couldn't find the answers to the question forming in his mind.

And he really didn't like that. He didn't like the feeling of being out of control. Was he blessed by some kind of god? He really didn't know.

"Still..." Draco's voice suddenly turned heavy, his hands turning into fists. He had already confirmed that this wasn't an illusion, nor could it possibly be a dream, meaning that he was truly given another chance.

A chance to not become his miserable past self, and a chance to become an extremely strong person. Not only did he now have [World Travel], but he also knew about future events.

The treasures that he could obtain, the connections, the skills. Everything would be now in his grasp. Unconsciously, not even noticing himself, Draco felt the corners of his mouth rising upwards.

"Hahahaha..." Draco burst out laughing, leaning against the wall as he held onto his stomach. It was simply too funny. He had to struggle so much to survive and experience so much humiliation, and now he was back in time.

Back in the place where everything started!

If that wasn't funny, then he didn't what was.

"In this life, I won't be the same miserable man who had to cling to others to survive. I will become a powerhouse, someone who still stands above everyone! Be it humans or any other race - no one will stop me!"

Draco said loudly, continuing to laugh as he grabbed onto his stomach. Despite laughing so much, his eyes gleamed with determination.

Everything was going to be different now!
