Chapter 2: Regression and The System.
Lukas and his dad walked past the campus, and Lukas couldn't help but smile all the way and was following his father one step behind. He was actually remembering what happened in the last couple of years, he was actually in 2024, a homeless man struggling to even beg and dying like a dog on the street.
Six months ago something magical happened, he came back in time in his own body and was shocked to find out he was still in his senior high. Just like last time, he was preparing for SAT which is basically an examination that will decide his fate and his college.
After waking up, felt nostalgia and cried for two days with his family. He didn't tell them he came from the future, but they felt a little odd when he was studying all night long for the SAT, they were shocked to see him working so hard for an examination.
Lukas's thinking process was simple, in his last life he was lazy and made poor decisions all his life, now that he got a second chance at life for some unknown magical reason, he didn't want to waste a single second of it by making poor decisions.
He studied hard because, in six months, he's not getting a million dollars all of a sudden.Working in the factory will not be a good decision, and just like last time, he will fail in life.
For the past six months, he studied for twelve to sixteen hours a day while remembering how insufferable those cold, long nights without a roof over his head were, he also remembers how his father will take a loan in the future, and that will destroy his family.
Soon Ronald and Lukas reached the dorm building, Lukas got a private room in the dormitory, room number 7. It was on the second floor, so they took the stairs. Lukas waited with the boxes while the floor manager was hot, so his dad went for the keys with documents.
Lukas didn't mind his dad flirting around, first of all, he was too mature, and second, after seeing the dad who almost every night cried for him, he'll even go to hell for this man.
Soon Ronald returned with the keys, and both of them pushed the box inside. The room was modest and had a bed for only one person there, a bathroom, a reading table, and a clothing rack.
