Chapter 1- Deja vu

"I am dying at last, after seeing others die who I held dear in life, my family, my friends, and Uro. Every one of them died because I wasn't strong when I should have been." I uttered these last words after making that pointless deal I made with trader.

I knew my life is nearing its end. I can feel it, seeing how life was so short yet so long to make many regrets and have to live with them.

Sudden darkness washed over me, this darkness wasn't cold but gentle and warm. It felt like the place where I have always belonged.

"You lazy bastard, sleepy pig, mom has been calling you for so long when are you come down to eat. Come or I will eat your fill too."

I heard this cranky voice of Rika, my big sister. I have always imagined her to be even screaming at me even after death and I have teased her for this as well for many times when I had her alive.

"Rika, no not this time again. He is your brother. At least, let him sleep on Sunday."

I heard this muffled voice of mother, but I brushed it as me remembering old memories while I may have been floating in this dark space I was floating in.

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

This noise was so loud that I felt like screaming and I did exactly that.

"Stop this, you barbaric creature." I saw the view of my room when I screamed this opening eyes.

It all felt like a Deja Vu when I was beaten up badly by my sister.

*Creak*

"Haha! You are finally awake. And what did you just called me, bqrbaric creature. Well, you have crossed the line my sweet little bro. Now, first come downstairs from your Grand bed to eat and after that we can settle this."

When sister said this, I felt a fear creeping up in my back that I didn't even felt while facing up against Calamity monster even though I died in that fight.

'Wait, I died then how am I here. Should I not be there making wish's from goddess for living good and brave life.' My inner otaku was thinking anything to just make head and tails of this situation I am in.

"Sister, What date is it?" I asked seriously but I was not expecting some serious answer but a joke or leg pulling.

"25 July, 2024. Day Sunday. Anything else you want to know genius. Celebrate it's a Sunday or I would woken you up some other way instead."

'25 July. Huh, 10 days before that game come true.' My thoughts were imagining the scene of that day when life turned into hell and one of a kind at that.

"Oh! Okay okay. Now calm down sis. I was just joking." I said trying to change the future danger that may have been coming even before that day.

"Make all Jokes you want on food table. Get going, now." Sister said before walking the downstairs herself after giving me a warning stare.

It was a lot of things to settle in my constantly. I mean I have seen game become a reality but this coming back to past was a shit of whole new level.

My mind was still in states of confusion but I didn't let it get to me too much as I have walked downstairs to see mom eating food. This view was making me want to cry like a baby and I would have cried if sister wasn't there. I knew she would tease me rest of the life if I did such a thing in front of her. And it's like everyone knowing it when she know it.

I just walked to the mom and gave her a slight hug and saying, "Good morning, mom."

"It's good afternoon actually." Mom whispered in my ear when I said good morning greetings.

I was embarrassed inside but I pretended like nothing happened.

'If I don't look embarrassed then I am not embarrassed.' This was my thought that I repeated over and over again in my mind.

I walked to what my seat was and sat there prepared to eat my fill as smell of food wafting in air was making me hungry.

[ Ding! Early access is being made into the Ultimate Survival real state. ]

[ Ding! You takent being generated randomly. ]

[ Generating… ]

[ Ding! You has been generated. ]

[ Talent (Replace- This talent let you replace your skill once per day.) ]

[ Choosing the random energy for Survivor ]

[ Ding! You have acquired access to Mana ]

[ You status panel is being created. ]

[ Think command 'Status panel'. ]

I heard these voices in my head that I was very familiar with but I can't believe it is happening because it should have been happening after 10 days.

But as a instinctive reaction I did said mental command of 'status panel'.

And that transparent screen which had marked the era of disaster previously appeared in front of me.

I was so absorbed in these things that I totally forgot that I was sitting with my family until sister started making noise by beating table lightly to get my attention.

"Huh" I said.

"Eat the food. Would you?" Sister said looking me dead in the eyes.

I served myself the food before eating it. I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mom, have father informed that when would his this business deal would end. And when would he return home?" I asked.

In past life, I never discovered my father was even alive or dead because everything was chaos mode.

"He said he would be returning in two day. But are you okay, you are never the talkative type like you are being today." Mom asked with a little worried face.

"No mom, I was just missing dad and missing my gift that he would bring." I said last part to change the situation which was turning a little emotional now.

"Mom, I want one gift two." Sister said getting frustrated from my happy face.

'I am youngest so its obvious that I am more loved.' I said in my mind. But I couldn't dare to say it out or I may face consequences that I don't want to deal with.
