Episode 1: Doomsday
I know… my life has been associated with nothing but death. Everyone I knew was dead. Only these random people, who held hands together with me, decided to resist the monsters that plagued the Earth, for as long as I can remember.
We built this final frontier of humanity against the abominable creatures called "Dungeon Curses". And now, I can see the field of sand, full of cursed creatures ready to ram us to our deaths. Saudi Arabia, once called the "Desert Beauty", has become our graveyard.
Ah, if only I can go back in time… to change and improve myself… I could have saved many people back in my country… now… I'm what's left of my countrymen.
*Monsters attacks*
*screaming people*
*battle noise*
I slashed and slashed my sword until I was stabbed by a demonic creature called "Horned Devil". My last thought of the scene was of people screaming and crying, pleading to their Gods for protection as they go to their last breath. What an ending to have, I closed my eyes with a final thought, Earth is done.
*Darkness ensued*
*Silence*
*Quiet and Low Pitch*
Where am I now? Is this heaven or hell?
*muffled sound*
It feels so… sticky?
*Muffled sound of people talking and shouting*
Ugh… I can't open my eyes.
*Muffled sound becomes clearer*
Who?
*People talking becomes clear*
"Mrs! It's a boy!"
"Oh my! Let me see!"
Ugh, did I… return back!?
//
*2 weeks passed*
Right, I came back, surprisingly, back in 1992 when I was born!
I'm currently in a crib laying down. I checked my surroundings with my slightly opened eyes and saw everything around me was familiar, it was the same house we had, like, forever.
One thing that shocked me though is that I have a system screen floating in front of me. This should not be possible before 2024, but why did it appear now? Was it because I returned back?

I saw the first line in my status information and found the "requirement" to rank up, I got confused. There was no such thing as rank up unless an awakened one got that "Rank Up Stone" item, which can only be found in Rank S or above dungeons. As far as I can remember, only one person got it and he died in 2051, at the behest of dungeon breaks all around the world. After that, no rank up stone appeared since.
I'm lucky, if that is so. But dungeons won't be appearing until 2024, so… I need to increase my stats and skills before it starts. This way, I can save my family from the disaster and save the country in the process.
Looking down after the first part of my status screen, I saw the status points and I sighed at the sight of it. I moved on and checked my skills. Good thing, my original skill "Strengthened" is still my awakened skill. However, the "Miraculous Intervention" skill was the surprise. It came fast to me why I have this skill. I returned back in time, the Gods or the system may have given me a gift. A tool to make myself better.
I closed the status screen and opened my inventory, of course, it was empty.
I sighed another one and returned to sleep. I need to hurry and grow up.
//
*6 years passed*
During the past years, I practiced "Strengthened" and leveled it up to 10. Now it has a 20 minutes duration and 20% additional stat boost.
After 6 years of effort in strengthening myself, my stat went up. Now, it looks decent. I'm sure my stat points were equivalent to that of a 12 year old kid my age.

I felt accomplished just seeing my upgraded stats after all the effort I put in!
Now, a few more points until "1.0" and I can say that I reached the standard weakling rank F'ers. Once I made it to "2.0" that's the top of rank F classes while more than that, E classes and above.
As for my life, I am now a grade one student. With my additional boosted stats, I was able to learn to speak Tagalog and English fluently, this made my parents proud of me and earned me a title from them called "Little Genius". For this reason, I was forced to join competitions such as mathematics and orals. I did my best and earned recognition.
Why did I do it though? I need to leverage my achievements so I can ask for training equipment. I even said to my mother that I'll start running every morning. This made her smile and said to accompany me with father for my morning runs.
And I did. Ever since I celebrated my 6th birthday last January 05, 1998, I started running around my local neighborhood. With every morning session, I'll run a few laps until I feel fatigued. And when I ended my sessions, I would earn +0.02 points in agility and +0.01 on strength.
I did this exercise for the whole year without skipping, this made my parents worry about my health, I assured them I'm alright though, and went to physical exams regularly. The doctor even praised me for being a healthy kid. With this exercise, it netted me a whopping increase of +7.20 in agility and +3.60 in strength. Now, I can be considered around the low-middle of D rankers of the past, and with the effect of "Miraculous Intervention" skill, I'm now at the middle-upper ranks of D rankers. If I reach the 20 points for both stats, I could then be considered a top D ranker of the past.
As for wealth, I needed money to start up my guild once the dungeons started. Since I started schooling, all my allowances were saved up, I even urged my mother to buy me a piggy bank. With my family's economic power, we could be said to be a middle class family, so money is not that big of a problem to us.
However, with my power of past knowledge, I started planning to buy shares in google, microsoft and apple. All I need now is to keep getting stronger so that I can avoid the catastrophe that will happen in 2024.

I finished my grade 1 with great achievement, I was the top of my class, which made other parents envy my parents. I was also offered to jump a few grades because of my ability to perfect all my subjects' test papers. I was granted to jump from grade 1 to grade 5 after I did a mock test for grade 4 students. Why? I studied everything even when I'm busy. I even asked my parents to buy me advanced books to read. Why would I do this though? I needed to finish schooling as fast as I can and start focusing on my path, toward greater strength. With great strength comes greater survival.
Another year has passed and I have upgraded my skill "Strengthened" to level 15 while my stats increased twofold, now in terms of agility, I am at the top rankers of D rank awakeners. As for strength, I am around the low-middle rank of D rank awakeners.

With this, I needed to start doing some strength based exercise. I decided to do push ups, around 1,000 reps per day.
It's the end of the year 1999, a few more hours and the year 2000 will now enter and 24 more years to go. I need to quickly reach at least S rank to save myself and my family.
In 2000, after my 8th birthday, I started doing running and push ups daily. Push-ups give me 0.02 strength each session of 1,000 reps, and this adds up to a total of 0.03 points per day.
//
At school, as a little kid, I was targeted by bullies who were quite taller than me, however, when I completely defeated them at the back of the school with some light taps, no one bothered me ever since.
As an 8 year old, grade 5 student, I was also at the focal position of attention. And thus, I did what I was expected for. I perfected all my test exams for all subjects which garnered admiration and respect from nerds and teachers, while hatred and envy to some trash classmates. At the end of my school year, I was then introduced to be a first year high school student. I passed the admission test and was praised to be quite the genius.
Year 2000 ended with my stats growing to a lower ranking of ranked C classes in terms of agility and around top of the D class rankings for strength, as for my power, well.. Still neglectful around the lower rankings of F class ranks. However, it will only increase once dungeons appear.
Lastly, my skill "Strengthened" improved again after activating the skill everyday.
