Rain poured heavily from the dark sky.
I was running.
My shirt was torn. Blood dripped from my forehead.
Behind me, five boys were chasing me with iron rods.
"Catch him! Don't let him escape!" they shouted.
My heart was beating like crazy.
Why?
Why was my life always like this?
Poor family…
No money…
Bullied every day…
Even today, they beat me just because I refused to give them my lunch money.
I ran across the empty road.
Suddenly—
A bright light flashed.
HONKKKK!!!
A truck.
Before I could react…
BOOM.
My body flew into the air.
Pain.
Darkness.
Silence.
…
"Hey! Wake up!"
A voice echoed in my ear.
I slowly opened my eyes.
I was in a classroom.
Students talking. Teacher writing on the board.
Wait…
This classroom…
This desk…
This uniform…
"This… this is my old school?!"
I quickly looked at the calendar on the wall.
5 years ago.
My hands started shaking.
"I… I'm alive?"
No.
Not alive.
I was reborn.
This time
I won't cry.
I won't run.
Anyone who bullies me…
I will crush them.
This life—
