Chapter 2: Regression and System Activation
Gasp!
Breath returned to his lungs as Ethan jolted from the bed, he felt as if he had just emerged from dark murky waters where he almost drowned.
Sweat dripped down his face and he tightly gripping the sheets of his bed.
Wait, bed?
His eyes suddenly focused and his surrounding became clearer. Surrounding him was white walls decorated with posters of tech based heroes.
He was in a room that he clearly remembered, but that shouldn’t be possible, he was supposed to be dead and his body discarded in an ocean for the fishes to feed on or something.
"Is this my life flashing before my eyes?" He muttered and was met by another surprise, his voice sounded a lot younger than he remembered.
The usual weariness that he remembered was gone. This caused him to hurriedly hop off the bed, rushing into his bathroom.
The bathroom was a lot smaller than he imagined but all that didn’t matter right now as he faced the small mirror above his sink.
Looking back at him was a black haired and blue eyed younger version of him.
All the stress lines, eye bags and messy hair due to work had completely disappeared.
