However, before I could go and have an incredible adventure in space and time with my power, I think I need to take care of a few things first.

Mum is dead.

Dad is a deadbeat. Well. Not really, but the same regardless.

Even as a neglected father, he did work his ass off to put me through school.

I suppose I should repay all that he has done for me.

It is the right thing to do.

And with my power, it doesn't take any effort at all.

Jumping back and forth in time just a few days can make me filthy rich. How? Well. There is something called the lucky draw. Not so lucky when I know the exact numbers that will come up.

"Hey dad! I won the lottery, so I'm moving out. Thanks for everything. I put about 100 million dollars in your bank account. How I know your bank account? Don't ask. Just don't spend it all at once. Invest in something. Oh. I'm not coming back, so don't go and look for me, huh. By the way, please tell Sasha that she is a bitch and I always hated her and her daughter."

Dad is flabbergasted.

He has just gotten home and see me leaving the house with a suitcase.

"Wait. What!? How!? Oi! The fuck!?"

Sasha is my step mum. She met my dad when I was about 4 or 5 – I can't exactly remember when, to be honest. She already has a daughter named Asley around my age from her previous marriage.

She didn't treat me well my entire life, as she always favors her daughter over me, and Asley uses this fact to play the victim, blaming me for everything.

Because of that, I am not giving her and her daughter a single cent.

Too bad that dad will.

As the man of the house, he must take good care of his family.

Oh well. Not my problem.

Dad chases after me once his wit returns, but I was already long gone.

I obviously didn't take the taxi.

When you could teleport anywhere in the world, do you really want to sit in a taxi!? Fuck no.

Dad did check his bank account later. The long number in his bank account turns him into stone, well, not literally. It would have been hilarious if it did, though.

And with that much money, dad would never have to work a single day in his life.

Anyway, now that I am eighteen, I think it is time to find my own place in the world. Strange that my power had awakened on my 18th birthday. How did I get it anyway?

It is probably because I inherited this power, likely from my mother.

Too bad that mum died in childbirth. That was the story I was given when I was old enough and smart enough to know what the hell is going on.

Of course, I did jump back in time to see if it is true. You know, whether my mother die in childbirth.

Unfortunately, it is true.

Mum did die after giving birth to me, and I learn something new about my power when I jump back in time to see my mother.

It was a very unpleasant experience.

Honestly, how would you feel if you suddenly regressed into a newborn baby, looking up at your father as he cries his heart out? Yeah. That.

Dad did love my mother dearly, so that is the main reason why I give him half of my lottery winning. I suppose in some capacity, I do love him as well.

Besides, I could always get more money since I can't really lose without knowing exactly what numbers will come up. But that is not the point.

Dad hates and loves me because I have taken away the love of his life and reminded him of her.

Strange contradiction, isn't it?

Anyway, I learn that if I jump into the past to a time period that I already existed, say jumping to when I was 6, I would actually take over my past-self and effectively change the future.

That is the reason why I suddenly becomes a baby when I return to see my mother just after she gave birth to me.

I cannot exist in two places in the same timeframe.

Thank God that I can age or de-age myself due to my power.

And I can age or de-age anything I touch, including people.

I shall call this ability Time Manipulation, as it literally allows me to manipulate the time of any object, whether it is living or not. Awesome!

It is incredible useful, especially when I want to see something grow up quickly, like a plant.

I can also destroy anything with a touch, and I suppose everything instantly crumples into dust when a billion or so years have passed for them in an instant.

The reverse is also true, as everything was just atoms in the beginning. Actually no, everything is just heat and light in the beginning, way before the universe come into existence.

How I know all of this? I will tell you about it later because what I have seen scares me, kind of a lot.

But I did learn I can kill anything or anyone by reversing their time to a kazillion years ago.

Talk about overpower!

But enough about that since there will be a lot of chances to make the world a better place. Or make the world a better place for me and only me.

I head to the bank right after I left home. Keep winning the lottery will bring suspicions, so I will need a good way to inflate my money.

"Excuse me, sir. I do not understand. You want to keep this account open for a thousand years?"

The bank teller didn't understand, so her manager has to take over because I swear if she keeps asking stupid questions, I will dust her ass.

Good thing I get to talk to someone with more of a brain. Since I do have a more than a 100 million of dollars in my bank account, I am pretty sure I am a VIP.

"Look. What is so hard to understand? I want you to lock my account and let the money grow until my descendants can make use of it. I want it to be at least a thousand years. Don't worry, I am sure that your bank will still exist in a thousand years from now. I have good intuition."

Despite that, the manager believes I was insane. Still, if he did what I have asked him, I didn't care. It isn't like I will see him again anyway.

And how much money would I have in my bank account in a thousand years? Who knows, but it must be a lot due to interest.

Sure, it will be a lot more if I set up a trust or investing fund or something but doing that requires me to be here in person to check. Yeah. I am not doing that when there is a much lazier option.

I specify what conditions for the account to be accessible.

This is because I alone need to access that account in the future. No point if I can't.

I also need the cash to do some self-improvements in the 31st century, right before the world goes to hell in nuclear apocalypse.

Once everything is in order at the bank, it is time to step into the future.

Hopefully, this time, a fucking nuke won't greet me.
