Chereads / The Regression Of The Keeper In The Fated Omega One / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Very Early Beginning

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Very Early Beginning

I cried for several minutes. I was gasping for my breath as I was convering my eyes with my arm

This is a strange experience for me since I have never cried since I was married to Tenshi

I always tried to suppress my crying

After a while of getting used to this transition, I looked at the time and it's already 4:56 PM

I also figured out when in my life I am currently, but I couldn't find out the date and year by lying down on this cold floor

This is the time in my childhood when I kept having hallucinations and nightmares randomly. I think it was the weekend and I was supposed to take a nap as a kid after having lunch

This memory was vivid. I know I just woke up from having a hallucination

It was that one hallucination where the space around me expands and the objects seem farther away from me when my eyes are closed. There are also three giant entities that were next to me that seems to be squishing me tight. There is a fourth entity that keeps going back and forth in front of me in the vast expanse of the expanded space

It was a weird hallucination, but I experience this every time as a kid

There was also the basketball that was moving by itself in front of the door

There was no earthquake and the wind for the electric fan wasn't strong enough to move the ball. It just kept going back and forth

Of course, it's stationary now

Growing up, I knew that the hallucinations and nightmares were caused by a shadow entity. It haunted me until I was a teenager

It only left alone when I tried to fight it when I was suffering from extreme cold and headaches. I could physically see the shadow entity back then and it tried to kill me by suffocating me with its shadowy tentacles

I had to try and fight back with a knife. After it saw we wielding the knife, it retracted its tentacles and escaped to my grandmother's bathroom. At that point, it never showed itself again

Until the end, I never learned the identity of the shadow entity

I wonder if that shadow entity caused this event, considering I came back at this specific moment

It's strange because I had the ability to go back into the past by using the 『 Origin Seeker 』 ability, but that ability only allowed my consciousness to transfer through time, not my entire body

I say this because I could feel through my body that I am when I was a child. I can't remember exactly when nor I can estimate my age, but I'm so fucking young. Probably 8 or 9 years old

That crosses out the option that I time travelled back

Another option is that I might be in some kind of a test or illusion or state of mind

So, I raised my left hand and snapped my fingers

"..."

Oh god. Nothing happened

This means that I don't have the [Fate Control] ability at this point in time

That makes sense since I haven't developed [Fate Control] at this age yet. My despair begins a few more years later

'God damn it... I need my Fate Control'

I almost teared up once again from the thought that I feel powerless

This damned body. I'm too emotional when I was a kid. My mental strength should've crossed over too if I'm this too aware

Anyways, it's not the time for me to be emotional. I shook my head to get rid of this feeling

Another explanation of my return is that I might be inside one of my inner realms or worlds like the ⟨⟨ World of Imagination ⟩⟩, ⟨⟨ World of Absolute Nothingness ⟩⟩, ⟨⟨ Imaginary Realm ⟩⟩, [Plane of Neutralization], [Plane of Tenebrosity], and many more

If I just focus, I could immediately get out of here

'Hnng-'

~~~

I took a nap. I didn't realize that I fell asleep and it's already 5:30 PM

I guess that means that I am not in any of my inner worlds or realms

I also have an ultimate skill of saving and loading called [Ultimate Skill: Save and Load - Lawyer of Checkpoint: Soteriartóno]. It allows me to put a [Save Point] in a specific time and I could load to that point to go back or forward

That ultimate skill deletes the timeline from when I came from and resumes the timeline from that specific [Save Point]. Of course, the timelines behind all [Save Points] are preserved

It's very similar to the save and load system of almost all games

The Omega System gave me this ultimate skill despite my ultimate goal of ultimate death. Although I hated it at first, I found it very useful in the long run

I had more than 10,000 save points before I regressed

However, as much as it makes sense that I might've loaded in this point of time, that'll be impossible since I never went to this point in time nor I had this ultimate skill as I was now

'What if I can load my last save?'

I raised my right hand in the air and loaded a save point

"Load Save Point 13,980: Chaos Battle"

...

'...'

Nothing happened. I feel like I'm back to my roots of being a chuunibyou (8th grade syndrome)

Good thing I'm currently alone in the house since my father is working abroad at Dubai and my mother is working at a school as a teacher

"Fuck"

My mood became extremely sour when thinking about my father and mother

This is bad. My body is shaking and trembling as my anger is slowly but terminally rising

I can't control myself. Usually Tenshi or Emily will help me control my anger, but they're not here right now and I'm just a kid, different from my alien and godly body previously

From this anger alone, I might destroy this nostalgic house and the rest of the neighborhood

I don't need that to happen yet, until I figure out my situation

"Hik-"

But instead of my anger exploding and eradicating half of Manila, I sobbed and cried instead as my tears burst out. I almost made noise from my mouth by wailing, but managed to hold myself back and my mouth was being distorted from the torrent of emotions

'Why?! Why?! Why?!'

I do feel anger against my parents, but for some reason, I feel relieved and hopeful

I hate this feeling

My parents were the reason I became like this, why the world became what it was, why I kept seeking death. Them being here right now is giving me extremely mixed feelings

I let myself release all of my emotions first and cry it all out. That's important for this young body after all

This time, I'll do things different compared to before, if what my situation now is what I think it is

~~~

It's already 5:53 PM. I know I have to move, but I want to take my time on the first day first

I have checked out most of the reasons or explanations for my situation right now, but there's only two left

"Father Time"

I called out at the ceiling

...

Of course there was no answer

Father Time is the father of time itself. He's one of the [Four Constructors] of the multiverse, including Mother Space, Life, and Death themselves

The reason why I'm calling for him is because I possess the Time Variable, one of the 100+ variables of the universe, and I obtained its variable artifact of [Watch of Flowing Time]

Possessing the Time Variable allows me to have complete absolute control over time in the universe and earn time outside of the universe and beyond the 10 Dimensions 

That would've been a good explanation for my current situation, but the fact that Father Time didn't answer nor the [Watch of Flowing Time] manifested on my wrists tells me that that wasn't the case for me

'At this point, there's only one explanation left'

I regressed

I had the [ Immortal Mortal ] trait that allows me to not die inside the universe and allows me to live beyond the Infinite Abyss after the 10 dimensions

I also had the 『 Resurrection 』 signature ability that revives me if I were ever to ultimately die, except for the ultimate death. First resurrection is instant, but as more resurrection I experience, the longer the duration before I wake up

However, this is only applicable to when I die inside my host universe, the main universe, or what I would call the Golden Universe. The universe where I was born in

Of course some exceptions were bypassed when I died outside the universe, especially since I obtained the 『 Phoenix Power 』 when I subdued the Calamity Slayer Lightning Phoenix in one of the Rooms in the [Room of Rooms]

I had all of those abilities that doesn't allow me to die without achieving my ultimate goal. But never once I remember obtaining the ability or skill of 『 Regression 』, not even 『 Reincarnation 』 because I can't transfer my soul to another body as Emily said

Now that I have come to a valid conclusion, there's only one thing left to do

When I was reading hundred of regression themed novels, mangas, and manhwas when I was around 19 years old, almost 80% of them have one thing in common

If I'm right, then this run will become easier. After confirming it, I will make plans until I achieve my ultimate goal and defeat Chaos Himself in the endgame

'...'

I raised my hand and spoke

"Omega System!"

80% of regression media have systems in them. Since I have the Omega System in my previous life, I should've inherited it in this life too, as per the Four Absolute Rules of the Rooms

...

'...'

I waited for a few seconds and repeated my self

"Omega System!"

...

There was no reaction

"Omega System!!!"

...

"Omega System?"

...

"Damn it..."

I spoke with disbelief and tiredness

'I can't believe I'm wrong. Am I really powerless? Were my power and abilities completely removed? Clean slate? I'm back to square one where I have nothing...'

I looked at my hands with pure disbelief while opening and closing it. My fingers were relatively chubby since I was fed properly at this age

'Or was I just dreaming and I woke up from what it felt like an eternal nightmare?'

'Was everything that happened before a dream? It was all fake? It was a figment of my imagination?'

'That can't be, my young mind couldn't think at that level'

'Then what are these memories? I don't think that they're fake'

I broke down and couldn't accept the reality. I didn't know what to believe anymore

At this point, I can only wait until 2020 or 2024 comes before the transition of the world to the Mystical Age would actually happen

~~~

It's 6:15 PM and I was stuck from refusing to accept reality

In the end, my body didn't gave up since there was a very lingering thought behind my mind that's telling me I have to do this

I stood up and looked straight at the rectangular mirror behind the TV

'Damn, I look cute, stupid, and chubby... I look like what I remember'

I raised my hand towards my reflection and spoke

"Scan"

A very old unused ability of mine that I rarely use because it wasn't needed due to several of my other superior eye and vision abilities

*Ding!*

"...!"

My face lit up after I heard a ding sound in my head

=====

A display, very similar to system mangas and manhwas, appeared in my vision. The color of the display is yellow, almost gold

I couldn't be more than happy and relieved that I have my lingering power left

'So that's the reason why the Omega System wasn't responding when I was calling for it... It was locked?'

I'm also weak as fuck. Well, that's a given since I'm a child

In turns out that I'm also 7 years old. This means that it's the year 2008 and I'm in the 2nd grade of primary school

That's 12 years before the start of the transition to the Mystical Age

Now that I've confirmed my situation and bearing, I have to plan my course of actions now before 2022 comes

This status screen is also displaying so less. It's not showing my previous abilities

I guess that's also a given since I'm back to 2008

I can't remember how many years it has been since 2008 to fighting Chaos in my previous life. It just shows that I lost my perception of time

'This time, I'll make sure to spend my time wisely!'

Surprisingly, I already have the [ Unbending Kindness ] trait this young. Well, it's not that surprising since I'm already very kind this young

I was innocent. I never tried to hurt a fly or an ant. I never cursed or thought bad of anyone

Of course, maturity came when I entered high school. That changed in me yet I still have that special trait until the end of my previous life since kindness always comes from the pureness of the heart

'Wait, heart?!'

I felt vertigo and shook my arms to touch my chest. I firmly placed my right palm on my chest, where the heart is supposed to be, and closed my eyes to feel its pulse

*Duguen duguen*

I can feel pulses. This is definitely my heartbeats

I felt another wave of emotions because I missed this feeling, or rather, I already forgot this feeling

Year 2024. That was the year my heart got destroyed by an accident, yet I was able to continuously live, despite my blood being unable to circulate throughout my body

Of course, there were a few methods on how I kept living, but that's a story for another time. I'll cherish this feeling longer

But even then, I found out that having a human heart is a weakness in itself. However, a human heart has its secrets

I might take care of my heart in this life and try to surpass my previous self

Looking at the display more, I did get the 『 Regression 』 ability and I regressed into this point in time in my past

'If that's the case, the timelines wherein... Bah, let's not talk about my knowledge of how timelines work for now...'

Also, this 『 Regression 』 ability has stars next to it

'What does that mean?'

It's the same for the Omega System, but it has 3 stars or 6 stars

Anyways, it's a good thing that the 『 Scan 』 recognizes 『 Fate Control 』, but it's locked

I guess that means that I could unlock it later. That's also a given because I am naturally the Fate Controller

I obtained 『 Fate Control 』 from the despair I experience in the past and that a few years from now, caused by my parents

However, now that I've regressed, I might mess up this timeline causing me to be unable to obtain 『 Fate Control 』

That's why, I've decided that I won't do anything out of character until I unlock 『 Fate Control 』

That's my first goal for now

I clenched my fist to give myself confidence and strength to start all over again

~~~

It's almost 7:00 PM now and I've been watching the nightly news program called [24 Hours]

If I'm right, it's around this time when my mother gets home from work

I took a deep breath to prepare myself to see her for the first time since almost forever

*Wriiiiing ging ging ging~ tok tok*

There it was, the sound of a tricycle pulling up in front of the

gate of the apartments. I could clearly hear it because our apartment is the second door from the gate

*Eeeeennnggg*

The metal gate swung open and closed immediately after

*Ching ching*

The chimes rang when the screen on the door hit the hanging chimes. My mother entered

"I'm home! I brought McDonalds. C'mon, let's eat now!"

"...!"
