A few weeks pass by and now I'm standing before the graves of my parents.
It took a while to adjust to the new body I was in. Especially getting used to being so smart as I needed to force myself to actually eat in order to get my mind out of books.
The world I am in is very similar to my old one.
The Funeral was not too big but big enough for a hundred or so close colleges and friends of my parents . I have no relatives it seems but thats ok as it give people less of a leverage over my new life. thankfully Michael was assigned as my legal guardian and I will be given my inheritance after a weeks time.
Now what to say to my parents? theres nothing i can say to them because they're gone but I can honour their memories right now.
"I will make you proud, become successful, help people and become the best version of myself I can possibly be. hopefully when i pass on i can leave my mark upon this earth for future generations. so please watch over me and just know i love you both and i miss you."
"Goodbye" i softly say as tear rolls down my cheek but unfortunately no rain to wash them away.
Now sitting in the back of a Taxi next to Michael he says" how are you doing my boy"
"Better. i said my goodbyes and made a promise to become a great man that they would be proud of"
"they're already proud of you master" he says fondly with a smile "now being great man that will require effort are you sure you're ready for it?" he smirks
"Absolutely" is say with my eyes shining with will
"it looks like you already have a plan" inquires Michael
"i do but it requires your help. can i rely in you Michael?"
"Always master" he smiles kindly
"Then lets begin" I smirk with a calculating glint in my eyes.

The next 7 years went by quickly
Year 1: 2002
In this year i received my inheritance and started to invest in several areas of interest by combining my intellect and the my memory of my last life i was able to start earning money.
with my father library and eidetic/photographic memory i was able to speed read through books to college level. even though i didn't need to do this i had to create the impression i was a genius and because Michael was my home tutor he was, after knowing how eager was to advance to higher levels, he had me put in several competitions and recorded my IQ at above 200 which allowed me to take the tests required to go to higher education. although i couldn't apply for any universities but i was allowed to use their libraries and was only allowed into a university at 16 years old.
I began to create apps that wouldn't require any massive amounts of equipment in order to put on the internet in order to earn more money like my own version of a search engine including versions of steam, Facebook and google play/apple store. this meant i could earn money even more and gain a bigger reputation.
they were just created but once popular i would be one of the richest people alive.
Year 2: 2003
My creations were begging to spread and more and more people were using them therefore i gained a lot of money.
this money was used to set up a a start up a company and acquire several broke ones that would merge into what i called Venna Industries.
The company was managed by Michael officially but it was me behind the scenes doing everything.
now with the newly created company i could relax as i had a foothold on the business would and just had to wait for the money to come in.
using some of the money i earned i ordered materials to be used for making my own projects.
in my free time i started doing exercises that wouldn't stunt my growth or harm my body and applied for several martial arts which i won several championships in. as well as strategical games like chess and shogi.
Year 3: 2004
thats when things really set off and now with upgraded technology to help run all of the created apps were spreading like wildfire all over the world which meant more and more money coming in.
i patented several new pieces of technology and other fields of science like medicine which boosted my reputation in the scientific community despite no PhD yet.
This gave me the reputation needed to venture into developing a branch of the company towards technology, medicine and other sciences
Year 4: 2005
More riches, more fame and more achievements to my name and now I'm the youngest self made multimillionaire on the planet.
i was able to purchase amazon which my luck had a part in and was able to slow down my life a little as I didn't need to do much else for the next few years
year 5: 2006
more achievements, more money. Netflix was bought and improved upon as well as well as setting up several charities in my parents name
I started to refresh my memories of batman by re-learning everything he knew so could use it effectively.
Year 6: 2007
the same as the year before except I didn't buy any larger companies and started more intense exercises for my age and conditioning my body for the future which looks pretty freaky when you undo your own joints
i also started working on newer tech ologies as i could order more materials to build things mostly for my own use as i won't sell most of my inventions to the public like the nano tech and advanced reactors etc.
year 7: 2008 - 11 years old
I be became the youngest billionaire on the planet
and thats the year my last remaining family in the world, Michael, Peacefully passed away at the age of 80 with a smile on his face as he told me he felt like I was the son he never had.
