I’m back and Merlin is with me

When I wake up I notice my surroundings I'm really back I look at my phone and the date says March 6th 2024 a day before the start of the apocalypse and the day I saw Merlin again after 4 years I notice the door open and Merlin walks in I get up and kiss her on the lips she seems shocked and kisses back to break off. I say "we're back to before it started." Merlin replies "how did this happen this doesn't make sense and if we remember do the others remember that day as well?" I reply "no they don't it was one of the effects of my godly item I could rewind time and bring one person back with me so I chose you." Merlin says "wait a power like that had to have a cost right?!" I reply "yeah it did I lost all the progress I made with my magic control I say as I'm crying." Merlin asks, "that's it?" "Yeah that's it." Merlin says, "okay that's way less than I expected so that was the second effect of the clock what an interesting ability?"

"well it apparently had 3 more effects as well as I also explain them." Merlin says, "so what you are telling me is not only do you have all your titles, you get at least one SSS rank ability and you can appraise everything and you get the titles strengthened that's bullshit why does it make you so powerful?! I mean it makes it easier to train and stuff but god damn and you also got the add on the first effect that it's now not just monster experience? But normal skills and stuff too? Also, you can't be affected by time based spells fuck that was the only way I could even beat you in the first place God damnit!" "yeah it's a good thing also let's go eat some breakfast or do you want me to make some?" Merlin says, "make me something I want your homemade food I haven't had it in a while." "okay also, what are we gonna do about all the legendary and mythical items we can now get our hands on?" Merlin replies, "You have a good point we know when and where the mythic items are going to appear and we can prevent many tragedies that are going to happen." "yeah like the one that's going to happen at my school as well there were two SS class people that died there." Merlin exclaimed, "there were two SS class people that died there!? how is that even possible what type of monster appeared there for two SS class people to die?"

"We probably got the hardest survival quest possible because we had to escape from the school but only 50 people were able to get out or we had to kill the orc king an S-Class boss to get everyone to survive and out of the school." Merlin exclaimed, "you had to survive an S-Class boss for your first quest?! that's completely insane that's the hardest first quest I've ever heard of. mine was that we had to kill a D-Class boss in 24 hours to survive way easier than yours but tomorrow I'm going with you to that school as a guest there so I'm able to do it with you although it should be way easier now to beat now that you are going to get at least one SSS-Class ability I'm also doing this because I wasn't even need to beat the boss in the area that I was in, but you having the chance to get three SSS-Class abilities is still insane by the way. The fact that you could get three that would make you jump leaps and bounds, because unlike SS-Class abilities and below that have a set Mana drain SSS-Class abilities strength is based on how much Mana control that you have so it is kinda weak when just starting out but they have more potential than any other ability."

"I know that's why I cried when I lost my Mana control because that would have given me a very big head start on the SSS-Class abilities because I already had the best Mana control in the world, but hey at least I have a 300 times boost on it this time." Merlin says, "yeah your Mana control was so good that you could hurt the demon queen with pure Mana only and a basic spear like really your the only person in the party that didn't have at least a legendary item as your weapon and you could still hurt her that's fucking insane!" "oh yeah I guess I should check if I have the clock right now or if I'll get it when the system comes."

As Lukas focuses on his heart you can hear the sound of a clock ticking and a clock with a second hand moving appears out of nowhere. Merlin exclaims, "Woah that is way different than when I saw it last time it was an hour glass why is it a clock this time." "well maybe it became a clock because I now have the full unlock of the godly item in total I wonder if this time tho now that I have the clock from the beginning if I'll be able to level past level 2500 this time." Merlin says, "you fuckin better otherwise I'll kill your ass you were able to get to the 2100's last time in two years." "Well that's because the monsters were already stronger by then now I have to wait until stronger dungeons appear again so it will probably take me longer to get to that level but I should be the first one to get a class change tho that happens at level 25 I wonder what class I'll get his time now that I will get the bonus for doing so we got the world announcement last time for someone that fucking died just a year later he wasted it. We should also take debts and just buy a shit ton of canned food and water because money is not gonna matter by tomorrow and coins are gonna become the main thing." Merlin says, "the only thing is that the bankers guild tried getting debt back from people in coins in the future and their prices were absurd, because they stated that the interest still built up even tho the world went to shit" "yeah but do you really think they would be able to take anything from us we would both have SSS-Class abilities. plus it gives us a head start because we wouldn't need to worry about food or water. Food and water cost a lot in the system store and it took most of my coins early on last time. so I'd prefer if I didn't have to buy food and water from the system store this time." Merlin states, "that is true it was the same for me like seriously one bottle water for 1000 coins is insane, later on it didn't matter cause there was a bigger abundance of coins but early on it fucked me as well I almost died of starvation." 

"I wonder what their SS-Class abilities were because they both said that they had SS-Class but didn't tell what abilities they were." Merlin states, "yeah that would be good info to know because even before only 150 SS-Class ability holders were known, and a tenth of that for an SSS-Class, well now a little over a tenth." "well we should get going now to get those canned foods." Merlin says, "that we should." 'as me and Merlin were driving to the bank to get the money A screen appears in front of me and I get scared thinking that it might have started early but only words appear on it.' the screen states, "I see that you have finally came back in time" "who is this and how do you know this" The screen states, "My name is Chronos and I'm the creator of the clock that you used to go back." "Oh so you're the co-creator that Gaia talked about I'm just wondering what were the requirements to use the item?" Chronos states, "the requirements? well the first is that you have to have a absolute hatred for demons and devils. You then have to have a talent of C-Grade or below. Then the last and final but most important requirement is that you have to be a descendant of one of my demi-god children I had in the past." Merlin exclaims, "So your telling me that Lukas is one of your descendants?" Chronos then states, "My only descendant in this world. this also means that one of the SSS-Class abilities that you get is guaranteed to be a Time related ability." "Man that means that I have a chance of only getting a Time related ability I was hoping for a fire one because I already have experience in controlling fire because my ability last time was fire control. It was like SSS-Class abilities where it didn't have a set Mana cost." after a while of us driving and getting as much details as we could from Chronos like how other gods also give blessings to mortals and that's how they get the SSS-Class abilities. after around ten minutes of this we get to the bank, and there's no line so we can just get the money and go. after we got the money we went to the supermarket and bought all the canned food, and water bottles we could get. We had enough money left over and bought a warehouse to store all the items so we could use them at a later date. for the rest of the day we enjoyed as much steaks an things of the like as we could before the world will go to shit. "Merlin do you think I'll get lucky this time and maybe the fall wont happen on my birthday?" Merlin says, "No it's going to happen Chronos said it's one of the fixed events just like the awakening of the demon queen." 'Yeah I guess your right I just don't want people to look at me like I'm some cursed being that shouldn't exist I had a problem with that because my birthday is tomorrow." Merlin states, "I know but we'll still celebrate it together. okay?" "Yeah, I just wish it would happen on the 8th instead of tomorrow but that ain't gonna happen. well goodnight Merlin I'll see you tomorrow" Merlin says, "Goodnight Lukas."
