Well.. better than nothing, I suppose.
"Yeon Woo-ah, how are you feeling?"
I look towards the sound of a feminine voice, a mature woman stood close to me.
"I'm fine.. er..?"
"What's wrong, Yeon Woo-ah?"
"Sorry.. who are you..?"
Fuck. Poor choice of words, as she stood there stunned.
"Yeon Woo.. It's me, Eomma. I'm your mother, do you not recognise me?"
She turned around in panic as she tried to find the doctor to inquire on my memory.
System.. is it possible to regain the memories of this body?
..No response.
System, what are your functions?
..Again, no response.
What the fuck, aside from the template, what use is having a system for?

Shit.. hospital food...
"..What do I do doctor, he couldn't recognise his own mother (っ◞‸◟ c)"
"No need to worry, temporal memory loss is a common symptom due to the heavy cause of concussion.
In a few days, he'll start regaining fragments of his memories when he's at home, a place he's more comfortable in, where he'd be able recall most of his memories."
[A/N: not a doctor don't quote me on this.]
"Eomma.. when can I eat?"
"Hungry, huh?", the doctor turned to face me. "That's also a good sign of recovery. It'll be lunchtime soon and the nurse will provide you with your meal options."
"Okay.. thanks, doc."
As the doctor left the room, I was bombarded with questions pertaining my memory and my well-being.
Well, it's good to know that I have someone who cares.
-----------------
The next few days went by as I was able to obtain information regarding this world and myself.
Like how I got into an accident, similar to how I had died but, I survived in this one as a result.
I also got to read some magazines and newspapers for some entertainment.
I'm apparently in some Alter Universe where the brands of famous companies exists but their names differ.
For example, Honda > Yonda, Ford > Sord and so on.
What's surprising is the current year, which is 1997.
Originally, I would've been born 2 years into the future yet, here I am standing as 4 years old child.
Man... this sucks, the internet has yet to boom and we're still using floppy disks and vinyl records.
-----------------
"This is our home, Yeon Woo-ah. Are you starting to remember anything?", she asked trying to probe a good response from me.
I looked around trying to familiarise myself with the environment but I wasn't able to delve for any past memories.
Hence, I shook my head and went in, though there's not a lot to see as it was only a 2-room flat and in the living room there's the old big 'n chonky tv and no signs of wifi.
"That's okay.. the doctor said that you'll still need plenty of rest to recover. Wait for abit and I'll prepare for us a meal.", she pivoted and went to the kitchen.
Although my birth year differs to my original world, there's something in common between the two.
The family condition..
My mother's a recent divorcee, she was an actress who'd married my father who's an average salaryman.
From what I heard between the talks between my mother and some nurses, she had caught him cheating whilst she'd visited his workplace with a secretary.
An argument broke out between the two as he tried to save the marriage by calling it a misunderstanding.
Though, it didn't work out in the end.
Due to the divorce, my mother and I moved out into a new apartment where she had started working again.
This time she's been making commercial deals as compared to acting in movie shoots, for some quick cash.
However, she's been ranting about how the work is full of sleazeballs and how it's been affecting her daily.
Just wait, Eomma. I'll be able to earn and provide for the both of us as soon as I upgrade my skills.
Speaking of skills..

Strength 0.6 > 0.63
Holy shit, I feel the tensions rising, my breaths are thinner and the air, heavier.. I feel... the same.
I mean.. not much to expect from a 0.03 strength increase but man, this system really is slow progress.
Aside from that, I've been experimenting with the passive ability.
Kise Ryota.. from Kuroko no Baske. Although he uses his Copy ability in basketball, my use of it has been insightful.
I mean, before he started taking passion into basketball, he'd been acing in any other sport.
So, let's focus on his special ability.
There's an off chance that I can mimic actions from what I've observed on people yes, but let's not forget the eidetic memory.
Half a day's worth may not seem like much but that's only if you think about experiences unfolding in real-time for a 12-hour period of time.
For example, I was able to skim through the pages of a newspaper in half a minute, yet I'm able to stop at the page I want in my memory, so that I'm able to read off of it.
It's such a cheat code! It's been my only boon from the system so far, which has yet to respond to my endless enquiries.
"Yeon Woo-ah, come. Let's eat."
"Ne (Yes), Eomma."
-----------------
"Have you got your pencil case, your ruler and your lunch?", she asked worried about my first day in a new school.
Due to the move after the divorce, I had enrolled to the closest one in the neighbourhood.
"Ne, Eomma. You packed everything for me."
She bends her knees and clasp her hands onto my face.
"૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა Uri (Our) Yeon Woo-ah has grown up so fast! Look at you so handsome, soon you'll be stealing all the hearts from the girls."
"Eomma I'm gonna be late.", I said while side-eyeing my 0.9 stat, in Appearance.
"Hmpf. Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up after school, okay?"
"Okay. Bye, Eomma. Love you."
"I love you too, sweetie."
As the boy walked away, the woman could be seen with a disheartened look on her face.
"I'll raise you to be a better person than him.."
-----------------
"Class, we've got a student joining us today, this is Yeon Woo. Please introduce yourself."
"Hello. *bows a little* I'm Sung Yeon Woo. I like cars. Please take care of me."
"Cars?! I have an Ice Wheels collection with big trucks!"
"Where do you live?"
"So handsome! But Jin Young is more handsome.."
"Can you count to 10?"
"Why do you have a girl's name? Are you a girl?"
'Who the hell is Jin Young?'
"Okay class why don't we let Yeon Woo sit and have story time?"
""WOOO YEA BABY, THAT'S WHA-""
Cheers from a happy audience filled the room as Yeon Woo sat to whoever is closest up front.
Since they're still in kindergarten, desks are yet to be used for children as they sat side by side on the floor amongst one another as they listened to an educational yet fictional story.
