章 1: Dream come true.
At exactly four o'clock in the morning.
The sky was still dark, the arms of silence completely embracing the whole area in a mile radius.
People should still be sleeping during this point of time but things aren't always the same for everyone. There are bound to be exemptions.
Inside a small poorly illuminated room, with only a piece of a soon to be fully consumed candle was lighting up the place.
In front of a sturdy looking wooden table, a young man can be seen sitting there having a tired but serious expression on his face slightly mature face. He's writing something on a piece of paper under his palm while also using his scientific calculator from time to time.
In front of him lies piles of bond papers, scattered on top of the table along with the different colored ballpens in different ballpoint sizes, calculator, rulers and thick books about Differential Equations.
The young man continue writing, reading and calculating like that for another hour before finally putting down the pen on his hand as he smiled weakly.
" Haaa... "
He sighed in relief then started arranging the papers in front of him. He neatly put them all inside the blue folder. This was the color specifically chosen by his specific instructor at the University he was attending.
The young man then leaned back on his chair, looking at ceiling above him.
" Finally done. Thank God I was able to somehow finished everything just right on time. Now I can finally rest and get some sleep. " he tried closing his eyes trying to give his eyes a small rest. " This blackout really pisses me off, if not for this goddamned thing, I surely have had finished it much earlier. "
Grabbing his cellphone lying on top of his table, he looked at the time with his slightly opened eyes. Turns out it's already 5 am in the morning.
" Damn it! " He cursed out loud. " How can I still dare to sleep now? I still have a class in Electrical Circuits at 7 am. Today is also our exam in Differential Equations but with these problem sets I had finished, I'm positive I can handle that well.
" The only remaining problem now was that, I'm very sleepy and exhausted yet I don't even have enough time to sleep. Arrgghh! Should I just skip my first subject then? No, that's a major one. It will be very difficult to catch up if I will do that. "
* Sigh *
This young man was Leon, a 20 years old 3rd year Electrical Engineering student. What he had finished doing just now was called 'Problem Set'. It was a set of mathematical problems that a student must create on his/her own and also must answered by him/herself and must be able to pass it on time.
Sounds stupid, wasn't it?
All the problems should also be connected the topic they had discussed on that term.
People might say, " That's so easy. You are the one doing the problems so it should also be easy for you to answer them. "
But they are wrong.
Extremely wrong!
That was a very naive way of thinking because what really made the problem sets hard wasn't just the problems itself but also the way you need to do them.
For example, the bond papers you'll be using should be clean and has borders. Your name should be written very well, the letter's sizes must be precised, the color of the pen used must also be according to the color coding that that specific instructor indicated, the right ball point size should also be used precisely. The instructor will reject your work if you won't do it correctly according to his/her instructions.
Black pen for borders, Blue pen for names and red pen for the boxes covering the final answer.
Still thinking that it's very easy?
Well then, what if you also need to do around 300 problems of sorts, was it still easy? Then what if that wasn't the only subject you need to do but also in 3 more subjects? Still easy?
Then let's add more shits into it!
You also still need to review for your other quizzes and exams in your other subjects. You also need to report, make a video, interview etc in your minor subjects!
Other university/college students will definitely know how difficult it was especially those who are also taking engineering courses. After all, only those who had suffered the same fate can truly understand each other very well.
* Sigh *
" College life is indeed a lot more difficult than in highschool, how good would it be if I can simply go back in the past when I'm still young? That will definitely be incredible. Just like those reincarnation novels I had read before.
" I can also have a way more relaxing and free life if ever that will happen. Doesn't matter if I can have cheats or not though it will definitely be great if I'll have one or two. Hmm... I guess I will be satisfied with just a storage ring that have a mile space inside?
" Hahaha! What am I even thinking? As if something like that was even possible. Time to sleep, Leon. Time to sleep. "
Leon then stood up and went on his bed. After only two minutes or so, he finally fell asleep.
He's very tired so Leon decided to leave everything behind and rest.
Unknown to him, while Leon was lying there silently, a dim green light suddenly envelopes his body.
===
Around 7 am in the morning, sounds of birds chirping can be heard outside as they flew around lively from one tree to another.
( Leon's PoV )
* Knock *
* Knock *
" Leon, are you awake? Today is your first day of school so we need to be early. You have to get up now. I'm done preparing your breakfast, you can eat after washing your face. "
I woke up when I heard someone calling for my name coming from the other side of my room's door. Though it's a little different, I still immediately recognized that voice as my mom's. It's just that, I can't understand what she's talking about.
What first day of school? The school had long started since a few months ago and it's almost the end of second term now. So how can today be the first day? That was completely absurd.
But despite my confusion, I still have to answer my mom.
" Okay mom, I'll come out soon. "
Getting off my bed I started fixing my pillows, folding my quilts and bed sheets.
When suddenly...
' What the F***!?? '
I noticed something really different.
" Where am I? What the hell is this place? ' I asked myself in confusion. I realized that the place around me was very different. This wasn't my room at all!
This room was both familiar and unfamiliar to me because if I remember it correctly, then this should be my old room. The one I got when I'm still very young but, how can I... am here? I then suddenly thought of something so I quickly checked out my body and when I did, I was stunned.
" Okay then, be sure to go out fast. I don't want you to be late on your first day. " My mom said once again before she finally left.
I wasn't able reply to her because I still can't believe what's going on here. I even thought that I'm still hallucinating.
My hands, my feet, my whole body. They all become small!
Just how can this be possible? Am I still dreaming? Yes, that's probably the case!
If I remember it correctly, before I fell asleep a few hours ago, I just finished doing my problem sets. Then after that, I doze off a bit then... wait, don't tell me?!!
" Did that wishful thinking I had before I sleep become real? Did I really came back to the past? That... that was amazing! "
Based on the current evidence I have, it seems like I really did come back into the past and looking at my present appearance, I probably be around 5 to 6 years old! If that's the cased, then the first day of school my mom was talking about just awhile ago should be my first day at kindergarten. Wasn't that a bit... too young?
But also incredible! Who would believe that something like this was even possible in the first place?
And being this young has its pros too. At least, I can now enjoy the feeling of growing up once again and I can't ask for more. Besides, me not returning as a baby was already a huge thing!
" If what I had wished this morning really did come true then... " Lifting both of my hands, I examined them. I saw a black colored ring at the ring finger of my left hand.
" Was it... this one? "
I nervously tried to examine the ring on my hand trying to confirm my guess and.... it turns out to be the real deal!
When I look closer at the ring and thought of seeing what's inside, an image appeard in my mind. It's a very huge empty space! And if it's indeed the real deal then this space should be around one mile in size.
Storage ring!
" Hahahah! This is nice, no, incredible! "
Happiness and excitement filled me up.
How can I not?
Going back to the past was the thing I really wished the most! Not only did I get that but also got a very magical space ring. Just how awesome was that?
Besides, being young was a very enjoyable thing too because you have less thing to do aside from playing and a bit of studying.
You are also free from stress and complicated toxic relationships. Aside from that, you can also make new friends, I mean real honest friends that you can get along as you grow older. It's not like I don't have any friends before, it's just that, having a childhood friend was still a lot better in my opinion. They are someone you'll grow up with!
I then tried to used the ring in my hand. I went near the chair and thought of putting it inside the space ring. When I did that, the chair disappeared!
" This is indeed the real deal! "
I then once again looked inside my storage ring and saw that the chair was indeed inside so I thought of putting it out and it returned to the place where it was before.
I then tried putting the bed inside, then the cabinet, the electric fan, the books, and the table before putting them back in their previous places.
" Hahaha. Whoever you are that granted me this chance to return back, I'm very grateful. Thank you so much. "

Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
From this day forward, I'll be continuing this book as what the original author and I had agreed upon.
I'm still editing the remaining chapters but I will slowly release them as fast as I could.
