It was a cloudy day, only corpses and rivers of blood could be seen as far as the eye could see. Millions of human and monster bodies lay everywhere on the battlefield. Also, there were huge craters, caused by the battle of humans and the most powerful monsters.
What stood out most about this battlefield was not the millions of bodies or how terribly damaged the space and earth were. What stood out most were monstrous bodies hundreds of thousands of miles across, some in the shape of animals, others whose appearance could not be described.
One man looked at the desolate scene, he was sitting on a body hundreds of meters long of a monster that was in the shape of a bird. The man was beginning to see blurry from blood loss, he was missing an arm and had terrible wounds all over his body, he could only hear a huge cacophony sounding in the center of the battlefield, there were still humans alive fighting the monsters, even though it was useless, the humans were terribly wounded and exhausted. Unlike the monsters, who had a huge thirst for blood and there were still hundreds of thousands of them, far outnumbering the humans.
The man coughed up blood, and then smiled bitterly. He knew he was going to die, and after this humanity would cease to exist. All the remaining humans were on this battlefield.
"This is how all of humanity is going to die? Damn it, if only the damn guilds had supported when they were needed most instead of killing each other over claiming power."
Faintly whispered the man angrily, he looked up at the grey sky, raindrops began to slowly fall on his face and then onto the battlefield.
The man's name was Rivel Thorne, he was one of the most famous and powerful humans on planet earth and the lost planet, he was considered a pillar of humanity. known apart from his power, for always being alone and not having any close relationship with anyone, there were many rumors as to why, but the truth was only that Rivel was obsessed with training his body and polishing his skills.
Rivel, with bleeding on his lips and his eyes growing cloudy, wondered to himself.
"What will it feel like to have a wife, people I can call friends, people I can trust?"
After asking himself this question, he shook his head, there was nothing he could do anymore, regret was no longer any use. He closed his eyes and little by little, the cacophony of the battle grew distant, and his last words were.
"If I could live one more time, I would kill the damn bastards who didn't support humanity, and also, I would get a wife and people I could call friends."
After a few seconds, all the pain disappeared, it was in complete silence.
———————————————————
After a few minutes, Rivel felt extremely cold and his body extremely weak and without any strength, the sensations were worse than before he died.
'Is this what it feels like to die? It's unpleasant.'
Rivel thought, but suddenly, he heard a loud sound that he didn't understand very well. He slowly opened his eyes, blinked several times, confused to see a dark sky and snowflakes falling from the sky.
He sat up, disoriented and dazed, looked around; there were people who looked like homeless people because of their clothes. Some were scavenging for food, and others were warming themselves with drum fires. Much of the ground was filled with snow, there were also houses around, it looked like it was an alley.
"What the hell?"
Rivel said, he was stunned for a few minutes at what was happening, when he came to, he turned his gaze to the source of the sound, and saw a smart watch on his wrist that had a broken screen, and was only emitting one sound.
"Warning!" "You were chosen by the system, please go quickly to the awakened academy!"
Rivel paid no mind to the warning. He looked at his hands, they were small, skinny, and young, no scars, wrinkles, or calluses. He looked at the surroundings, and quickly stood up and felt his legs aching and weak, as well as the shivering of his body from the extreme cold, he ignored it and walked quickly to the window of an old restaurant that already looked abandoned, he looked in it reflected and got a lump in his throat.
A pale young man, golden eyes, messy brown hair and a bit long, tall and with a somewhat handsome face.
"W-what the hell is this?"
He said stuttering and surprised, he touched his face to see if it was real.
"I went back in time when I was around 15 years old, and just when I went to the awakened academy!"
Rivel was shocked, he didn't know why this happened, was it because of the system? Is it a dream? No, if it was a dream, he couldn't feel the extreme cold and the weakness of his weak and skinny body.
Rivel sighed and tried to calm down. He didn't know for what reason he went back to the past, but he had to take this opportunity.
He looked around again, this place was where he lived as a child to teenager, Rivel never found out if he had parents or not, since he was conscious he was already living on the streets, he was taken care of by several kind people, but they all died, after all the rats on the outskirts had little life expectancy.
Revil didn't know what to do, but he forced himself to concentrate. First he had to become much stronger than before, save humanity from his imminent death, which would be in 30 years, but most importantly, not to regret this time and get people he could trust with his back.
The perfect place to become stronger and get connections was the awakened academy, anyway, he would have to go there to be taken to the lost world. he turned around, he had already decided where to go.
