Chapter 1: It seems I get to live my life again.
[April 21st, 2045]
I saw the light fading as I felt my breath stop going to my lungs, I felt dizzy and hallucinate at each passing second. I think that I'm about to pass out as I look to see the person strangling me.
I look at the person in the eyes. I see them cry and hesitate, but still strangle me.
I hear them mutter their sorrys, as the person tightens their grip.
I…
I see…
I close my eyes, as I wait for the inevitable
'This… This is fine' I tell myself as I look at the blurry face on top of me. 'I'm ok with this'.
[If his eyes were to be seen,they would only see tired and dead eyes, with no lights in it at all.]
I passed out.
Not feeling myself die.
It seems that today was my bad luck day.

(3rd POV)
In a normal looking bedroom, a teenage boy was sleeping. He has pure black hair, with a face that can be called handsome, with some fat in his cheeks.
Suddenly, an alarm went off, prompting the boy to groan.
"Ten more minutes" the boy tiredly said as he swiped his phone alarm to snooze.
As he was slowly going back to sleep.
His eyes widened.
As he sat up, dizziness came, but after a few seconds it was gone.
Firstly he looked at his hands, and tried slapping his face.
*SLAP*
"OW! OW!" The boy yelled in pain, as he tried to soothe his face with his hands. "Ok not a dream" He muttered to himself with a shocked expression on his face.
He looked around the room and saw a familiar and nostalgic scene.
He saw his old room when he lived with his parents, he saw picture frames with him and his family with a few missing.
"What the hell is happening?" He asked in confusion. Still looking around, trying to find clues.
He looked at his phone and picked it up, he opened the lock screen, and his eyes widened.

He couldn't believe his eyes.
He tried rubbing his eyes with his hands, to see if it'll work.
BUT NO!
It didn't, it still looked the same.
'Ok, either I'm in some kind of dream, that is making me relieve something from 16 years ago or this is some sort of relieving the past before I die thing OORRR…' He emphasized his last words.
Without finishing his words a message was sent to his phone.
It was a video, which was titled 'Play Me'. He was skeptical about playing the video, but after a while of thinking, He decided to play it.
'Maybe there'll be answers in this, I mean who sends a totally random video at 6 in the morning?'
He promptly clicked the video and a Shiba Inu in a classic business suit appeared.
'Did… did this dog just talk?' He thought as he questioned life.
Well, you have been selected to go back in time and relive your past! Well… we did change quite a number of things, you shouldn't worry about those. For being chosen, we'll gib you a spin on the marvelous spinny thing, you will only get something suitable for the world you're on.> As he said that a wheel, like in game shows, appeared on the screen. Do not worry, there are no others like you in this world. So don't think about it too much So have fun and live an entertaining life! By your friendly neighborhood dog Doge P.S We are definitely not monitoring your every move for entertainment or anything> (1st POV) With that the video ended and I sat there contemplating life. "... I regressed, back to f*ck*ing 16." I said in shock Suddenly, the house shook. I felt every part of my body shake, and I felt the vibrations around me. With this, I quickly stood up and went to look outside the window. I opened it and I felt the wind flow by my face. I looked outside to be shocked about what I saw. In the distance I saw it, in the middle of the forest beside my town… A giant monster… A giant f*ck*ng monster… In the middle of the forest… If I were to describe it. The giant monster was a big, hairy, purple… … … … Goat. Yes… A giant purple goat is terrorizing a forest. 'What the f-' I couldn't even finish my sentence The town shook again. With its every step I could feel as if it was creating earthquakes. As I look at it closer I see something flying around the giant goat, as the giant goat tried to swing its head around the flying things. It was like a human swatting flies out of the air… Well goat swatting flies… As I try to squint my eyes, not seeing properly. I remembered that I had binoculars in my room somewhere, when I used it for bird watching. What? It was calming for me. With those, I finally see what those flies were. Said flies where humans… Humans with some kind of jetpack, flying through the air with massive ass weapons, ranging from swords to guns… 'Ok' I thought in shock. 'What kind of things did that God change in my world' I saw the flying people attack the monsters with their weapons. I saw some kind of wounds with purple blood oozing out. And finally, a flying person's sword lit up, brighter than any light I've ever seen. And promptly slashed the monster destroying it to bits. 'Holy moly, mother of-' before I can finish the thought. I heard a voice coming from next door. She was a girl who had obviously just woken up because of the mess outside. She had black messy hair with beautiful brown eyes. She wore pajamas, and had tired and bored eyes watching the scene from afar. As far as I know, there wasn't a beautiful girl next door when I was at this age. "Yo" She said with a yawn "Mondays, Am I right?" I dumbly nodded, seeing this she slightly tilted her head, and looked confused about something. But after a few seconds of thinking she shrugged and put her head inside her house again and closed it, as if the show was over. I looked at the scene once more. Surprisingly, the forest didn't get any damage from the attack. I sighed as I closed the windows again. I put down the binoculars, and lay on my bed. I sigh loudly. "It really is my bad luck day." I said to myself. *Sigh* Because of the shock, I felt numb and couldn't react to the various things that happened today. "What did I get myself into?" With that I closed my eyes, hoping all of these were just a dream. 'This can't be true' … … 'Right?' *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* Crap, left the phone on the window… Well… Looks like I have to get up… … … Again… … … Goddamnit… I went back up to retrieve the phone that I left behind. I looked at my phone, I was reluctant to open it. Not just because of this weird regression, but also in fear. You know Fear is the enemy of all. Fear is an instinct in every living being, from us humans to every little plant. We feel fear from any situations, from being in a car, not waking up the next day, or even just living. We fear that everything will be taken from us, when death strikes. Me, who has died once and accepted death, now feels fear again. With everything, with this strange and unpredictable occurrence. But… You know what? It's a great motivator. We move, because we fear that we may lose opportunities. We work because we fear we may stop getting money that's needed to survive this cruel money driven wprld. For me, it's the basis of human behavior. We want to feel happy in fear of sadness, we feel sadness and anger because of the fear that surrounds us in general. We humans are fearful creatures, and that's why we are on top of the food chain. Humans created weapons in fear of harm. They created books of knowledge that pass through generation to generation in fear they may get lost, and forgotten by history. We built society, in fear of chaos that can ensue because of our human nature. Right now, I fear for what's unknown. I have already accepted my death, but I still fear death. I fear that I'll suffer more than death if I don't take the risk right here, right now. That's why I opened my phone. Surprisingly, there was no password. A notification popped up, I clicked on it to see it go to messages. The message was glitchy, but still readable. {FEELING LUCKY? COME ON NOW AND SPIN THIS SPINNY THING FOR FREE! ONE TIME ONLY WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR} On the bottom of the message, and saw a wheel that also glitched. There was arrows pointing on the center that spelled out 'SPIN ME'. I looked at the screen and my eyes twitched. Well… If I'm going to live in this f*ck*d up world, please be something good. I pressed the center of the wheel. It began spinning fast… … … … [After a few minutes] "Why is this taking so long?" I whispered to myself. … … … I put my phone down, making sure it'll stay open until it stops spinning. I never know if it'll stop spinning, if I try and close it. Honestly, I just won't take that risk. I look across the room to see an old laptop. "Time to do some research" ________________________________ (3rd POV) A stern man wearing some kind of uniform was looking at papers. He had black circles under his eyes, with a pretty average face. He wore glasses which complemented his looks. He carefully inspected the paper he was reading and slightly showed disappointment in his eyes. 'No' He thought as he put the paper in his hands into the shredder, never to be found again. He repeats this process several times, saying no to several papers. He looked at some and made a small nod. 'Accepted' He took a stamp from his desk and stamped the papers he seemingly accepted. He repeated this with the majority of the papers getting rejected, with only some that can be counted on one hand getting approvals. He looked at the paper, currently in his hands. Observing it, making sure it was not forged. He sighed and nodded, he took his stamp. With that, the paper was accepted. [Application form no. 577 Name: Miller, Samuel Age: 16 Sex: Male Status: Normal Human Ego: Not unlocked Information: Samuel Miller is a 16 year old boy, who was seen to have potential, despite his lazy looking demeanor, he was seen as a hard worker and has a critical mind. He was raised by normal parents and has no history of being awakened.

But it looked as if he was alert at all times, he had no openings that could be exploited. "It looks like we'll have an ineteresting bunch this year." He sighed thinking of the headaches he'll have. "Well a little beating would shape em up." After saying that, he had a sharp glint that can be seen in his eyes ———————————————— I dunno man
