1 Starting Over (1/2)

”Ugh...”

He groaned as the sword pierced through his heart. Kim Shin still couldn't believe that he would die in the hands of his own best friends.

He thought that after all of their life and death adventures, they already treat him as a family. However, he finally realized how naive he was, to think that he ludicrously trusted them.

”H-How.. can you do this.. to me.. Arnold..and Hiro..?”

Kim Shin asked while stuttering. Obviously already weak to speak.

”Shin..I'm sorry.. if Arnold and I did not do this both Arnold's and my family we'll be the one in trouble”

”W-what did you mean Hiro? who is behind all of this?”

”It's Arthur Rothschild” Arnold answered.

”Arthur Rothschild of Rothschild family, you already know that, it's been so long that he fancied your wife, Angelica..” Hiro took the lead to continue.

”You know how powerful the Rothschild Family..  One day Arthur came with his family attendant at my family home and ordered the head of my family, that if we still want my family to co-exist with them, we must kill you, torture you or even buried you alive as long as you die, or else he will annihilate my family. As Arnold and I wanted to help you so much, but with just me and Arnold, it's clearly not enough to face the wrath of the Rothschild family, sorry Shin.” Hiro confessed as he beg, Kim Shin for forgiveness.

”..I'm really sorry Shin..” Arnold was really sorry for what they have done to Kim Shin.

Hearing the answer from the mouth of his two best friend Kim Shin didn't know what to say or what to react. He's angry but knowing that they just do this for the safety of their own family, Kim Shin can't help but to softened a bit. However, he still can't forgive them because, they ruthlessly betrayed him which unforgivable.

Rothschild Family one of the biggest and powerful family in Yggdrasil World.

Back on earth, the Rothschild Family was already rich and very powerful.

Even in Yggdrasil World they are still powerful seems like wherever they are, they could stand toe to toe with hegemons.

Kim Shin knew that Arthur will do anything to get his wife Angelica, that's reason why they ran far away from civilization, far from the eyes of Rothschild Family as they hide to live a normal life. They thought that the happy moment will last forever. However, destiny was really not on their side this time.

His wife Angelica got kidnapped and Kim Shin is dying by the hands of his two best friend.

'Ugh...'

Kim Shin felt that his conciousness is slowly fading.

Looking at the dying Kim Shin, Arnold and Hiro ask for forgiveness and left.

”Forgive us Kim Shin... Rest in peace”.

'Rest in peace Heh'

Watching the fading figure of his two best friend who stab him in the back ruthlessly, Kim Shin couldn't help but lament how naive he was.

'If there is second chance to live I won't live like this again. I will live with everything I've got, without being afraid to anyone. I will control my own destiny!'

His conciousness fade away and took his last breathe.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Beep! Beep! Beep!

'Mmh.. what is that sound..'

A lound and continous mechanical beeping sound woke up the sleeping Kim Shin and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but closed his eyes once again because of the light that shone over him.

After that, Kim Shin finally opened his eyes and found that he's in a strange place. However it's have a familiar feeling from Kim Shin.

Strange because he is in his little apartment in Earth 8 years ago, he almost forgot the look of his own apartment.

”Isn't this my little apartment on earth?:

Kim Shin uttered in desbelief.

He couldn't believe, since earth was already long gone, so how could he get back in his little apartment.

He was baffled and confuse. Kim Shin mind was in chaos right now.

As he was thinking a sudden snap happened.

”Ughhhh...”

An intense headache occured as his past and future memories suddenly rushed back at his head which made Kim Shin grimaced in pain.

”Huff.. Huff.. Angelica.. Arthur.. I'd really travel back in time.” As the pain subsided, drops of tears fell from Kim Shin eyes when he remembered his past and future.

Kim Shin still could not believe at what's happening. However, he doesn't have any choice but to believe after he felt the intense pain, and the memories that seems like it just happened yesterday.

When Kim Shin felt that the pain won't come again, he hurriedly looked for his phone and found his old Samsung phone under his pillow on his messy single bed as he quickly looked for the date.

Unlocking his phone, the current date showed up.

[August 5, 2019]

”Now I'm hundred percent sure that all the memories flood inside my head is highly accurate” Kim Shin murmured.

He's now hundred percent sure. Even without a date he was already sure after he found his phone, since there's no phone 'there'.

'But how the heck this happen?' Kim Shin is really confused and clueless as why and how this happened to him.

'I'd really travel back in time, my eight years of adventure in Another World is felt like a dream.'

As he saw the date Kim Shin remembered that on his 19th birthday one month from now, the biggest incident in earth history will happen.

'I still have one month remaining to get ready before that incident.. First, I need to check if I have enough money for a month.'

Kim Shin is from orphanage, he live as an orphan for 18 years without knowing who is his biological parents. The Owner of the orphanage named him Kim Shin, because the owner said that when Kim Shin was still a toddler he look like a korean baby though he was found before the door in one of the Orphanage's on Philippines . After leaving the orphanage, Kim Shin found a job by the help of the Owner of orphanage and by working so hard for 11 months he got enough money to live for more than a month.

'This time I can't be distracted as I don't have enough time to get to work and I need to get ready for 'that' day.'

'I think, it's much better if I just quit my job.'

Kim Shin dialed his manager number and call.

*Kring*Kring*

”Hello?”

”Hello Sir. It's me, Kim Shin.”

”Oh Mr. Kim Shin, what's wrong is there any problem?”

”Actually sir... I'll just want to inform you sir that I'd plan to quit my job.”

”Huh, what's wrong Mr. Kim Shin? is there any unsatisfaction in your work area? why are you suddenly want to quit?.”

”It's not like that Sir. I'm really happy in my job it just... there's something happen.. A private matter Sir. I'm really sorry and Thank you for all your help Sir. Goodbye.”

”Hey Mr. Kim Shin wai-”

Kim Shin quickly end the call after saying his words. He's thankful to his boss but he knew that this normal life would change soon.

So, he must focus on his training and make a plan for the upcoming events.

'Now I should start with my training'

The Kim Shin in his peak power had an inhuman physique, but the Kim Shin now is only a normal human. With his body, he won't last long in an intense training.

Hence, he made a decision. A decision that would be helpful for his future.

'For one month I must train until I collapsed, because at the start of 'that' day those who have a good foundation will have a good start unlike those who doesn't train their body.'

He remembered that those who had training their body like their everyday routine had a better start on the first day of that 'Event'.

'With my eight years of life and death experience in Another World, even though I don't have my old Attributes, I still have my techniques, I just need to train my body to synchronize with my movements.'

100 push ups, 100 curl ups and 10 kilometers of running is every morning routine of Shin Kim.

Kendo, Kung Fu, Boxing and other martial arts style is what he have done from afternoon through evening and he slept early everyday and also wake up early in the morning.

That's what Kim Shin did in his one month training rehabilitation.

After One Month

A man standing at the front of a mirror, look liked he just finished his work out because of sweat shown on his face and topless body. His looks is more handsome than average man because of the sharp eyebrows like a sword, pointed nose, thin red lips, a height of 1.8 meter, his manly jaw that can take lives and Black hair with a hint of blue as sky which compliment with his eyes that almost the same of starry sky in the evening. This is Kim Shin now after one month of hardcore training.

Kim Shin body got buff like those body model in magazines but not like those wrestler. He's muscle is well build now unlike before.

”It will happen soon exactly at 12 noon.” Kim Shin murmured as he remembered that 'event'.

Looking at the time on his phone it's already 11:50 am, Ten minutes left until that big incident.

'I should eat first'

Kim Shin remembered that the food in Another World was really expensive and anything they brought from earth would gone except what they wear at that time once they arrive in 'that' place. So he ate a lot for the last time.

After eating a hearty meal Kim Shin lay down on his bed and wait for the big incident to come.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

In the middle of the City.

Like every normal day a lot of people are walking and running, rushing to their appointment when suddenly a blinding white light descend.

”W-what is that light”

”Waah.. mommy??... my mommy is gone..Uwahhhh”

”Daaaarling where are youuuuu?”

”R-Runnnnn!!!”

All of them who see the white light try to run but they didn't know that it's all futile.

The white light covered the whole Earth and quickly fade away. It was suddenly came and quickly gone along with all the humans in earth.

The Earth was now void of humans.

After all the human vanished.

The earth slowly shake like a common earthquake but it's not the end of it.

The road cracked and the whole earth shake harder by every second until it blasted to pieces.

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!'
