AN Ladies and Gentlemen, let me tell you a story. A story with a boy finding himself in the past, trying to solve one of the most horrible cases of his li-
Hold it! This story had already been told and I think it's copyrighted.
Oh.. You are right. Then what about a.. different take?
What do you mean?!
If I cannot tell about Erased, then I could tell about Created, the town where only I shouldn't be present.
February 4 2017
"Happy Birthday!" A woman exclaimed, a man and a young girl followed with the congratulation.
The birthday 'boy' was just happy.
His birthday coincided with a full school-free week and he could enjoy it together with his family.
"C'mon son, you are twenty and you are few step away from complete maturity!"
Last two years had been harsh, add a long term final exam project to the ever-exhausting homework, then the driving school.
The young man shook his head. No more bad thoughts, he repeated in his mind, this is an happy day!
"Blow the candles, big bro!" His sister chirped "And make the wish!"
The teen couldn't help himself but chuckle at the 'demands'.
He moved closer to the cake and blow the candles. His wish quite quaint in his own mind.
A change. He dreamed. Something that could actually interest him.
"Oh my.." His mother gasped "I forgot your grandma's and aunts' gifts."
She turned to look at him "Sonny, could you go with your sister and take it from there?"
The young man nodded and, after putting his heavy jacket on and picking his trusty satchel, he left the apartment with his younger sibling.
They were walking in the street, deserted because it was still working time.
"What did you wished?" The young girl asked, curiosity dripping from her tone.
The older sibling shook his head negatively "If I told you the wish wouldn't come true."
"You are being stick in the mud, big bro." She replied childishly.
The boy shrugged, an amused smile in his face.
"So" The young man started "How it's going with that boy you were going to date, did you confess to him?"
The teen was teasing the younger sibling, something that happened very frequently.
The girl crossed her arms and looked away from him, yet the boy could see a little red tinge in her face. "No comment!" She replied with a mock-angry.
The young man just chuckled, but refrained to continue the teasing.
One thing is teasing but continuing is bound to turn into bullying.
They were surprised to find the street blocked because of construction works, never noticing it before that moment.
They just turned away and started to cross the street.
They were still conversing and none was focusing on the incoming cars.
The boy heard a truck's horn. He turned his head and paled at the gasoline truck into them.
Seeing that it was too late to dodge together the big vehicle, the older sibling did what deemed right. He took his sister's arm and threw her with all his strength to a safer place.
Her eyes widened and saw what was happening. The boy braced for impact. That's why I should have stayed ho-
*BUMP*
He felt his body being propelled away from the street. A crunching sound echoed, his bones fractured and each of them puncturing his internal organs.
The last thing he saw was a very strange blue butterfly that in his eyes seemed heavenly.
His eyes closed and felt his entire self being moved by something inhuman.
His body wouldn't be found, only a massive amount of blood was staining the place where the boy had landed.
February 4 1988
The boy opened his eyes. He blinked once, then twice. W-what?!
He was alive. He shouldn't alive. HOW?!
He sat up and noticed he had been laying on a bench.
The place seemed to be a park, but none he had ever seen before.
He then noticed a pink leaf land on his shoulders. He picked it up and his eyes widened.
HOW DID I ENDED IN JAPAN?!
That was certainly a Sakura tree's leaf. The people that were walking calmly in the park were clearly Asiatic.
"Huh..." his glance locked onto a strange bottle sitting just near him. The small note on it just said 'Drink me' He once again blinked. Why the Alice in the wonderland's reference?!
He took it and smelled it. Not bad nor good, just... neutral.
Then he shook his head. Well, only a way to see what it does!
He downed it in a single gulp. He felt his throat burning, but not enough to actually call it an ache.
He started to walk. I need information about where and when exactly am I.
Yes, the boy was sure that there was a possibility that he might not even be in the same temporal era than to where he came from.
An hour later...
He felt himself blessed.
The teen discovered that the potion(?) was actually something that made him fluent in talking and listening Japanese. He didn't know how exactly he knew how to write in kanji, but he shrugged about it.
What truly was bad news was the time. He had been sent into 1988. He was exactly 10 years before his own birth.
Does that mean I am minus 10? He mused mirthfully.
Another problem was the currency. He some 100€ that couldn't be converted because the Euro was created in 2002.
He found himself once again in the same bench of the same park.
He remembered that he had to check his phone. He paused. I'm a idiot.
He had a perfectly functional phone with a Command Console installed. He had found the solution to his economic problems. Shouldn't be difficult to hack some bank accounts and gain a little bit of resource to start from.
After dealing with the quite simple task, the boy opened his new account.
John Bivona.
He grimaced the fact that he couldn't use his true name but 'John' knew that there were too many reasons to not reveal himself.
And now, he started planning, someplace to live...
He then looked at a house finding paper and, after a very well detailed search, he found what he was finding.
It was a quite modest house with a warming system installed. It was sited away from the city centre.
He sighed. Well... time to make a new home...
AN John does have something like Satoru's Revival, but his reset point is quite close to the reset moment. Ugh, I know 'crappy explanation' but this will be explained in later chapter.
The other fanfiction will be continued parallel to this one. So... nobody is unhappy :3
