4:01 A.M.
Glancing at his watch, an 18-year-old young man boarded the bus and sat by the window seat.
He tiredly rubbed his temples and leaned back his head. He then turned his head to boredly look out the window and thought blankly.
'Why the hell did I choose to major in biological engineering?'
The young man, Park Hyun-Shik, had that thought countless times for the past 5 years since he entered college. The course was already hell, but since he was studying at the most prestigious university in his country, he always felt like he was at death's door every term.
Fortunately, he loved what he was doing and his graduation is in a few weeks. He already passed his exams and practicals and had submitted the necessary documents and papers.
He groaned when he remembered his research paper. That was torture he did not want to experience again.
Today was officially his last class at the university, which honestly was all for formalities since he was already confirmed to be graduating. He's just going to give respect to all his professors who helped him throughout his college journey.
Some might think that he's too easygoing, but unlike other graduating students, Park Hyun-Shik already has job offers coming to him from large institutions. Graduating as the top student from his department was inevitable, especially since his university, Seoul National University (SNU), was known for its strict and exemplary education system.
For now, Park Hyun Shik rode the bus at an ungodly hour because the lab he was interning was quite far from campus. He glanced at his watch while yawning.
4:08 A.M.
'It'll take two hours before I arrive. I should catch some sleep.'
Setting an alarm, he shifted in his seat as he looked for a comfortable position to sleep in. His eyes slowly closed once he was satisfied. He blankly gazed out the window and let sleep consume him.
It was then he noticed something.
'Huh?'
There were flashing lights and—
Boom!
His ears rang. He felt dizzy. Everything hurts.
Park Hyun Shik dazedly looked at his left wrist in front of him as he lay on his stomach. He saw his watch light up in the darkness.
4:13 A.M.
It was the time.

In the dark nothingness, a small speck of light brightly shone. Two beings shrouded in veils approached the light, and the one veiled in white gently stroked the sphere.
《Pitiful Child, such a pitiful child...》 the voice behind the white veil spoke. They then turned their head towards the other.
Covered in a black veil, the being raised a hand and let it hover atop the sphere. Soon after a black glow appeared on the hand and seeped into the sphere.
《Hmm, since I am a benevolent God, I'll let you reincarnate with your memories.》 the black veil then chimed in.
The being behind the white veil stared at the other. Letting out a sigh and shaking their head, they also raised their hand and let a white glow seep into the sphere. The white veil then added,《As for me, I'll give you my blessing.》
Moments later, the sphere shone brighter than before and then vanished. The two beings stayed on their spot before muttering together.
《May your journey be blessed.》
✧✧✧
Park Hyun Shik opened his eyes to a white ceiling.
The shock of his brush with death left his thoughts jumbled and frozen. Listlessly, he glanced around the room he was in.
'Eh....? Am I in a hospital? I'm sure I heard voices earlier. And what's this floating thing above me?.... A toy?'
Still out of it, he reached out his arm towards the floating toy and froze.
'?'
He stared at his arm. He must have hurt his head because what he was seeing seemed smaller than what he remembered.
'I-isn't this a baby's arm?'
He blankly brought his arm closer and observed it. He flinched when he clenched his hand. Chaotic thoughts kicked his frozen mind overdrive.
'My arm?!?'

Heya, my fav peeps! How are ya? I hope you're doing fine!
As I had announced on Wattpad last time, the fic has undergone a complete reconstruction starting from the writing style, the perspective, and someeeeee details. But don't worry, the plot won't change much.
We will still see Alexander as we have known him~!
And with that, I hope you continue to support him as he navigates his way around the TCF world.
That's all for now, see you next time!
Ciao! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
