Starting over

It was a rainy day, dark clouds covered the sky, and the water was still falling heavily.

The dark, heavy rain made people feel gloomy and reflective. Even in this weather, there was a broad smile on Ezra's face.

No, it was more than a smile.

Ezra was smiling as he looked out at the dark, gloomy rain from inside his room.

"I can't believe this is happening to me" he muttered and walked out of his room and straight to the bathroom of the house.

Ezra didn't remember where the bathroom was, but his feet were moving on their own.

He quickly got to the bathroom and looked at the large, wide mirror on the wall. In the mirror, his face was reflected.

Only one word came to his mind as he looked at his current appearance, "Young".

The face reflected in the mirror was young. It was an unblemished face with a sharp chin. Her hair was quite long and dark, it looked great on her beautiful face.

It was to the point that people might mistake him for a model.

His eyes looked like those of a feline and were amber.

Looking at those eyes that looked like he was looking at prey, made him look wild.

A bit amazed by his new appearance, he noticed some small shiny metals in his ear, touching them gently and thinking that they didn't look bad at all.

Still, that wasn't what was currently important.

"All that matters is that I have a second chance."

An event that would only happen in a manhua or a web novel. A protagonist who returns to the past and conquers the world.

Ezra wasn't interested in conquering the world, though.

He remembered what had happened yesterday.

He was reading a novel called "My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires", he was reading it non-stop that his whole body started to ache from being in the same position all day.

So he decided to lie down on his bed and relax his muscles that were practically already atrophied and worn out, from so much shit he consumed and the little physical activity he did.

"Fuuh."

Ezra took a deep breath as he thought about it all.

When he woke today, he thought he was in a hospital, but he quickly became aware of his strange surroundings.

It didn't take him long to figure out that he was in an expensive room, and he felt his body better than ever.

The possibility that it could all be a dream crossed his mind, but he had never experienced a dream so vivid and real.

That's why Ezra dismissed that possibility and searched the internet for current news and articles.

'January 10, 2005.'

That was today's date. Ezra had gone back 15 years.

It still seemed surreal to him, but he thought God had given him a blessing by sending him back in time.

Bringing God helped him make sense of this illogical situation.

"What should I do now?" Ezra asked that question to himself, but there was no immediate answer.

After a moment of shock from all the events. Ezra had calmed down, but the situation was something he couldn't digest right away.

'Let's think about what he was doing in 2005'.

Ezra could still remember fragments of what happened in 2005. Even now his memory was better than before.

He was only 20 years old and had just decided what to do with his life, he started working as a producer at Odyss Records and worked there for 4 years.

"Sigh… What a good time" Ezra muttered as a bitter smile formed on his face.

He shook his head and walked out of the bathroom. His destination was not his room, but his father's office.

As his feet moved again on their own, towards his destination. A pounding headache assaulted him, causing him to lean against the hallway wall and return to the bathroom.

*Creak*

With a slight creak, Ezra quickly entered the bathroom.

In the next moment, thousands of memories flashed into his mind. They were equivalent to eighteen years of life.

After the new memories stopped, he took a deep breath and then headed to his room again.

Entering his room he grabbed a small notebook that was inside a drawer, located on a small desk.

He then opened the notebook, took out a pen, and began to write down all the things he knew about his new life.

His name is still Ezra, but with the difference that now his last name is Fey.

He is the adopted and only son of the Fey family.

He has both of his parents alive and, from what he could see, they are understanding and open-minded.

His father was King of the underworld, he is known as the Demon of the North. My father's criminal organization is known simply as the "Fey Family".

His mother was from a wealthy family, but since she was the daughter of a servant, her family simply gave her money and education and nothing more. But her mother was a genius in business and managed to create Star Empire, an empire that manages the real estate and pharmaceutical industry.

The two made a great team, a power couple with a name recognized throughout high society.

Although his family had high status and his father was a mobster, he received a lot of love and care from his parents.

He could see from the memories that his parents cared a lot about him.

In this new world, Ezra Fey was prepared to inherit his father's organization and his mother's empire.

Even in this life, he was quite fond of music.

Apparently, his talent and tone transferred to this new body, making Ezra a musical prodigy.

It was a shame that "he" from before didn't want a musical career and instead was studying and training to inherit everything from his parents.

But as a wise man had said...why not everything?

Thinking about the lack of "obsession" with the music he had in his past life, he began to review the knowledge of his now-past self.

Seeing the song he had learned in this world made him blanch.

From what he was remembering, the artist of this world changed drastically at some point.

Sure, there were still the authors of the classical and fine arts eras.

But it was around the 20th century that the names of the artists began to change.

I didn't recognize anyone, there were still big names and giants like Michael Jackson, Hendrix, Queen, etc.

Even so, some songs were also different.

Thinking about something from this current body's school, he learns that he had classmates who were from anime.

He remembers one in particular "Ash Lynx", a blond-haired young man and a juvenile delinquent.

And he remembers him because it is one of his favorite anime "Banana Fish".

Now seeing that there are anime characters in this world, clearly they had had a big butterfly effect on the story. Or at least enough to make some people disappear.

That aside. Ezra was getting a new life, and even knowing that many artists he knew no longer exist made him a little sad, it also filled him with curiosity.

For a music junkie, new bands and artists were always something to look forward to. And if his memory didn't deceive him, there were a lot of new bands that were great.

After accepting his new reality and checking some goals off the list. Ezra was now thinking about the present.

If he had any friends or other family members besides his parents.

Doing a quick review of his life, Ezra frowned.

He didn't have a single friend.

He wasn't very social, had excellent grades, and his free time was spent training with his father.

It was really something to see a 16-year-old with an adult attitude.

Setting the notebook aside, he looks over to his king-size bed and begins to walk over to it to lie down and relax a bit.

As he looks up at the ceiling of his room, he thinks about the goals he wrote down in the notebook.

- Make music again and try to reach the top.

- Bring back all my precious clothing designs from my previous life.

Ezra was still staring at the ceiling when he unconsciously got a devilishly handsome smile on his face.
