Chereads / Diary of a Regressor / Chapter 2 - Into the novel

Chapter 2 - Into the novel

"why why WHY!!!"

"why did this happen, why to me, I don't want it, please send me back, please!!"

Shouting and pleading noises filled the forest as a lone man cried and begged the sky at his knees but no reply come from the sky or the dark forest, his presence ignored by the forest and his pleading ignored by the sky, as the sun started to set Oliver stopped due to sore throat after shouting continuously for hours.

After no result come from pleading for hours, tiredness slowly creeps up on him as the silence of dark forest brings a feeling of horror and loneliness he lays on the ground reminiscing about his family, his sister who always encourage him to move forward in face of any problems as moping around doesn't solve anything and his brother who was always there to support him in anything he faces, now he is alone in this world with his everything taken from his, lost in thoughts he slowly falls asleep.

Waking up by the rising sun in the dark forest he tries call for his sister but stops as he realise he is not in his house not wanting to be depressed anymore he started to ponder about the reason he was here and ways to go back to his world, his family, his brother and sister.

'so this is it'

He released a tired sigh as he sees his status screen it looked way to similar to the novel he had been reading lately, whose notification he got as he boarded the bus called 'Diary of a regressor', a novel about boy who once just stumbled upon a cave with filled with old ruins and statues of an old civilisation that worship a being that looked like a dragon and by coincidence or just fate whatever you may call it discovers a teleportation ruin that starts the hell that he is living even now, he tried getting out of it many times but cycle of regression didn't end.

'and now I am stuck in this cycle myself, not even knowing just which regression it is or it the last regression till I read' pondered Oliver.

But whatever regression it is, if Ryan(the protagonist) losses again that will be the end of me as I don't think I will restart with the protagonist, I can't be that hopeful now.

"But this is real, its hard to believe I am in the world I read everything about and from now on will be living here till I find some way to go back, that I definitely will find no matter what!!!"

Encouraging himself again with a shout he stated planning the future as knowing the future will help him in finding the right direction to go from now on so he started to ponder about this world and ways to leave it.

***

After thinking hard of every way through which one can leave this world only three logical methods comes to mind.

The first is the power that that the last boss of the novel the king of demons have, he has a high affinity for space manipulation he can open portals, distort and destroy space, in the novel he once closed a rift by his powers alone that is something impossible to do, so he may have the power to send me home but will he....definitely no, and there is no method to get this from him until he is dead and killing him is impossible even for the regressor so, this method is a failure.

The second will be to get regressor to send me back as he have time related powers and space-time is connected so he may have a method, but his power comes from something which everyone is after I will have to fight the demon king for it which again is impossible until I find a sure way to defeat him I can't try anything with him, this is also a no.

That leaves the third that I am not sure will work or not as this power is not space or time but related to dimensions, this can help me travel back to my dimension but all throughout the novel its wielder is never shown using his powers to travel dimension,but I should not forget this is real and there may be possibility to travel through dimensions with this power.

'All the methods require immense power, I at least need to reach SSS to work with any methods' I mumbled as I again looked at the steep requirement as no one in the novel aside form demons have ever reached the SSS rank, the current strongest human is SS+ rank and Ryan is the only human to ever reach that rank yet he still failed to defeat demon king.

But I have something the regressor didn't have, even no human in the word have it. It is an SSS rank trait.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trait : [Gaia's blessing SSS]

[Gaia's blessing SSS] : The one blessed by the mother of all, you will have power over all that makes the world but will have to carry the responsibility of world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This seems like I will have power over the all the elements and maybe more but what is about carry the responsibility of world. am I some kind of protector, here also...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skills : [Basic elemental control]

[Basic elemental control] : Will grant control over all basic elements.

Currently: water(2%) || earth(0%) || air(0%) || fire(0%)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is pretty straight control over basic elements, only water is up by 2% wonder why is that.

Well I should leave this forest now sitting here planning won't actually do anything, should start training and also look for methods to get more stronger now.

'hmm one them should be there now I should go to Himalayas next' mumbles Oliver.

"Come out now how long are you planning to stay in my forest" said ???
