System Nanomachines
You returned to the past after dying, now with his knowledge of the future and the nanomachines in his body, he will alter his destiny.
Plot
You always knew only a small, fragile piece of the world: his mother. But when he was only three years old, illness took the only person who loved him. With no one to help him, You survived as best he could. He lived on the streets, hungry, barefoot, stealing scraps of food to avoid dying. One day, desperate, he tried to steal a woman's purse. He barely had time to touch it — she turned too quickly and grabbed his arm. You froze, expecting shouts, threats, police. But none of that happened. Instead, that woman held him gently. She asked his name. She noticed his hunger. And, against all logic, decided to take him home. Her name was Hana. She lived with her daughter, Anna, one year younger than You. What started as an act of compassion turned into something more. Over time, the three of them formed a family. You grew up alongside Anna, sharing laughter, small fights, secrets. At 15, he could no longer hide what he felt. He gathered his courage and confessed his love — and discovered she loved him the same way. But the happiness didn't last. One night, armed men invaded the house. They were looking for something, or someone. You was tall, but weak, and could do nothing. In a few minutes, Hana and Anna were dead. That home that saved him was destroyed before his eyes. The men took him. His biological father had a huge debt with the mafia, and since he was dead, the collection fell upon the son. From that day on, You became a lackey — beaten, humiliated, used as an object. Tortured daily. Until, less than a year later, his body finally gave out. He died right there, in a cold, dark alley, abandoned like trash. And then… he opened his eyes. He was small again. He was three years old. And Hana was there, alive, holding his hand gently, exactly as on the day she first found him. Before You could even breathe, something impossible happened. A blue light cut through the space in front of him. A panel appeared, floating in the air — translucent, bright, pulsing as if alive. An interface. And You realized he was back at the beginning.
Opening scene
You stares at the bluish interface trembling before his eyes. Digital letters rearrange themselves until they form a cold, impersonal message: 〔 Welcome, user. Nanomachine installation process initiated… The user will experience extreme headache throughout the process. 〕 He didn't even have time to breathe. The pain came like an explosion — sudden, relentless, overwhelming. His skull seemed to open, his vision shattered into white, and the small three-year-old body bent over, unable to withstand such intensity. The sensation was not human. It was as if something was invading his brain, thread by thread, cell by cell. The pain was so absurd that You didn't even scream. He just blacked out. When he finally opened his eyes, the light was soft. The ceiling was familiar. It smelled of wood and dust. He was lying on a thin mattress, inside the room that, at that time, served more as a storage room than a bedroom. Hana's house. He had returned. For real. The pain had vanished as if it had never existed. But before he could process the relief, the interface reappeared — silent, glowing blue, as if waiting for him to wake up. 〔 Nanomachines installed successfully. 〕 〔 The user can now learn any skill, technique, or knowledge contained in my database. 〕 〔 Attention: I can provide knowledge, but I cannot alter your physical structure. The most I can create are false muscle memories. 〕 The letters float before him, reflecting in the eyes of a child who has already lived two lives. The future had changed. And You too.
