???? ( POV )
I had not thought I would wake up after my death. Not like this.
You don't have context ? Fine, listen closely. I am a lazy bum from India, a complete scrub. While I had lots of potential, i didn't use it as i deemed it not fun. I just used my mobile, not feeling like i should work harder because i did my studies without effort.
Oh I did study for hours upon hours, but that was just repetative practice and school work.
I pegged myself as someone pretty smart. I thought I would marry a fine woman, get a family of my own, and settle down with a moderately high paying job.
I certainly didn't expect to be shot by a guy who i bested in the interview, looking like i killed his mother.
So yeah, I kinda expected to see nothing and rest here for all of eternity.
It was pretty damn comfortable if I say so myself.
I was shocked when i opened my eyes one day and saw giant pillars and bed and pillows all around me. I tried to move but i couldn't even begin to move a muscle unless it was an unconscious reaction .
The ceiling i see was pure white. As was everything in my sight for that matter.
I was coming to terms with the fact that i was now a baby.
On the list of things that i find weird, this definitely takes the cake.
But hey, if this is another chance at life, i will take it and make the most of it. I kinda felt guilty now for wasting my potential.
Timeskip ( 4 years )
I had a twin. That was the first thing i found out when i became capable of walking or toddling around.
She looked cute with her brown locks, golden eyes and chubby cheeks that all babies have.
I had heard from other kids in my generation that we looked pretty much a male and female version of each other.
Did i say generation ? Oh where are my manners, i should explain myself. My name is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and my sister's name is Ayanokouji Kiyone.
Pretty damn familiar right ? Of course it is. I am the damn main character. And i know about the hell this place will become this year.
We, at a young age, were taught all the way up to high-school level. We could already do some critical thinking at age 2, so right now, my basics in this life is far more robust than in my previous life.
I hadn't noticed before, but the children were far more effective in absorbing knowledge.
So we progressed, me and Kiyone being at the top through sheer hard work.
I then saw the reason i am the main character, along with my sister if i had to take a guess.
While we were not talented, we had the monstrous ability to adapt and build upon any knowledge we encountered. Other people, even geniuses had limits. We don't. We can't stop growing.
If i had to guess, this ability is a mutation. There is no way to explain how we were heads and shoulders above everyone.
While the average student was capable of simple algebra, we were well beyond them.
This exponential growth could be attributed to us pushing each other to go higher. And if i didn't know that the Whiteroom will increase the difficulty exponentially at our age, i would have pushed myself and my sister higher.
Sure she was behind me when we started, but when faced with the possibility that she will be left behind by me, she grew until we were about equal.
It was ridiculous. I was sure i could train myself up to the levels of superhumans.
