Scrambling out of my bed I looked around the familiar room. Just as I was processing what the hell was happening I heard my phone buzz.

Running toward it I picked it up revealing a familiar caller ID.

Trembling, I hesitantly accepted the call.

"Hello,"

Hearing the familiar voice my mouth opened but no words came out.

'This voice…'

I recognized this voice from anywhere…this was my mom but how did that make any sense? She died from a heart attack 2 years ago.

"Hello? Elias, are you there?"

"Y-yea," I replied back while holding back my tears

"Elias? Are you ok? What happened?" Hearing the concern I quickly made up an excuse "Ah it's nothing, I just woke up<"

"You woke up just now?"

"Yes?"

However, I quickly realized my mistake.

I was then lectured on how I should wake up early and she wasn't going to take care of me for the rest of her life.

I could hear her sigh over the phone "Anyways I'm going to give the phone to your father,"

Hearing that my heartbeat quickened "Ah sorry I have to get ready for class," with that excuse I quickly hung up the call.

As I hung up it revealed my lock screen which showed me today's date.

[October 3, 2025]

'How?'

I quickly pinched myself to see if I was dreaming, but this was real.

"Let's take a shower,"

Feeling the cold water run down my body I couldn't help but wonder how such a thing was possible. While I had read novels with something like this…what was it called? Ah, right regression!

However, the regression only happened due to a skill or item that the person had. However, I didn't really have anything like that, did I?

I then remembered the item but I quickly shook that thought away. It was just a piece made of gold and silver, nothing special about it other than its price tag.

But that doesn't matter right now.

What mattered was that I was back in time! With my knowledge of the future, I could rise to extraordinary heights!

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"But I can also make amends…"

Thinking of all the regrets of my previous life I let out a breath.

"Not again,"

I won't repeat the same mistakes again.

But not just that I was going to make sure that I crushed the Valhalla guild before it could even rise.

"Just wait you bastards," I clenched my fists "I'll return what you guys did to me 100 fold!"

After drying myself I put on some clothes before I laid back on my bed. I had actually lied to my mother about classes starting today as they started tomorrow which gave me enough time to get some things done.

One of the things I needed to get done was to buy a VR helmet.

However, with their current prices, there was no way for me to buy them unless I asked my parents.

While my family wasn't well off we weren't poor either, we were just average middle-class people. However, if I told them the reason I would probably have the ever-loving shit beat out of me.

Just imagining that sent a shiver up my spine.

"Alright, I guess I'll have to go with that other plan," With that I made my way to the desktop in my room.

While I could probably just get a job or something it wouldn't give me enough money in time. When I had enough money I doubt I'd be able to get all of the things I wanted.

However, there was still a much quicker and easier method.

Stocks.

With my knowledge of the future, I'd be able to get a lot of money. But there was just one tiny problem.

I didn't know the companies that would instantly blow up. But I did know a famous company's stock that was going to rise quickly.

If I guessed right the money would come in a week from now just 3 days before Everdawn is released.

"Well let's start investing,"

***

Listening to the boring lecture I tried to keep my eyes open. I had already invested in the company 5 days ago and the numbers were increasing greatly. However, decided to try and keep the timeline as same to the previous timeline as possible. But as I listened to the lecture I tried to not sleep, this was something I had already learned but I had to stay in this school this time. This was partly the fear of failing at what I was planning to do.

Redwood Polytechnic University wasn't super prestigious however, it was still a good place to go.

However, here at Redwood Polytechnic University were a few people who were going to be gods at Everdawn.

One such person was the girl standing beside me. Glancing at her I noted how seriously she was taking notes while listening to the lecture. She had neat black hair that was tied into a ponytail and round-shaped glasses that displayed her blue eyes.

Her name was Kiara Warner.

In the future, she was going to be known as the martial god. She had made her guild the Snowglades. The number three ranked guild.

This was simply because she owned a business of her own.

Honestly making connections isn't bad however, I wanted to avoid changing the timeline for a little bit so some things wouldn't change.

This was until I could buy the VR helmet.

Imagining the money that was going to come in after I bought the VR helmet my mouth started to drool.

Quickly Whiping it away I then focused back on the lecture.

"Alright you will now create a presentation-"

'Son of a-'

To summarise what the professor said we in a group had to create a code and present it.

After the professor said that I let out a sigh. Turning my head to the bottom I saw a group huddling around a girl with short pink hair.

In the previous timeline, I had made a group with that girl because I thought she was pretty. However, in the end, I did all of the damn work. Remembering myself in my university days I shook my head.

"I was such a simp,"

Turning to Kiara beside me I spoke "wanna be in a group?"

Turning toward me she seemed to be surprised. But soon nodded her head "Sure,"

"Great, then we just need one more member," muttering that I was about to approach someone else, however, someone appeared in front of us.

Looking up I saw a girl with short pink hair.

Putting on a polite smile while internally groaning I greeted the new visitor.

"Hello,"

"Hi, my name is Aubree Boyd. Would it be ok if I work with you guys?"

My mouth twitched as I heard her sweet voice. However, before I could come up with a bullshit reason Kiara nodded her head "I don't mind,"

Both of them then turned toward me which just resulted in me shrugging my shoulders.

'Your funeral'
