Zeriere

*The cover art doesn't belong to me, nor does the world and characters of Danmachi and For Honor*

Reza was a normal man who, upon becoming 20 years old, died in a car crash. On his last thoughts before his death, he thought to himself that although he lived quite a mediocre life, he was satisfied with what he was able to do and didn't worry about his parents because of his smart sisters that would be able to take care of them. If he had one regret that was going through his mind, it would be that he wasn't able to fully customize his Warden on a game called For Honor to his heart's content. Finally, as his consciousness was fading away, the last thought in his head was reincarnating into another world, fulfilling his childhood dream of living a life of power and freedom.

Warden in Another World (On Hold Indefinitely)

It was the day after the threat of a deadly virus was finally solved wherein a vaccine was created to protect the people from it's deadly symptoms. As one of the few cadet pilots left after the pandemic, I was called upon as soon as it ended to pilot my aircraft to assist with the distribution of the vaccine throughout the world.


"Ha... I thought I could get bit more sleep."


I grumbled as I looked at my alarm which was buzzing non-stop.


"Well, I guess I should look forward to doing some actual work after those few months of self-quarantine and doing nothing."


With those thoughts in my head, I got up from my bed and freshened up, then wore my uniform as a cadet pilot. It was 4:00 AM in the morning at the time so my family was still asleep. I didn't want to wake them up as the pandemic really put a toll on their mental health. So, I just decided to leave a note for them and went on my way to the airport.


I stood there on the side of the road, signaling for a Taxi to take me to my destination. After a few minutes of waiting, I finally got into a taxi and was headed towards the airport.


Then, time suddenly slowed down for me. I was getting goosebumps all over my body as fear and dread took over my senses. The sound of the taxi's horn was screeching throughout my ears as I found myself looking out of the window of the vehicle. It seemed like the world was spinning around as a plethora of colors were mixing from my vision of the outside of the car. It was then I realized that the taxi was rolling across the road. As the rolling finally came to a stop, I was relieved as I thought that I survived this scary ordeal. However, life had other plans in store for me. I suddenly felt immense pain in my stomach. I looked down and found that part of the car was impaling that section of my body.


My life flashed before my eyes as I was losing the feel of my body. An odd sense of calm came over me as I realized that my death was inevitable. Then, as if to evaluate give an evaluation of how I lived my life, I smiled wryly as I knew I was capable of more achievements but was too lazy to actually go through with the commitment and challenges that came before those achievements. However, I was more or less content with my life. I didn't need to worry about my parents because I knew that my two smart sisters would be able to take care of them. And, I was single and had few but close friends meaning that I didn't really need to worry about them either as I knew that they would be able to take care of themselves. 


"I should have tried harder to grind for that Warden outfit that I wanted to get before."


I had a love/hate relationship with a game called For Honor but something about the Warden really caught my eye and made me keep playing the game. I wanted him to look and be badass while slaying the other players in the game. As I wasn't able to fully complete that 'badass' look, I sighed in regret.


"Hahaha... Maybe, I could reincarnate into another world and live my childhood dream of becoming 


 a strong and powerful being in a fantasy world. That would truly be a dream come true..."


I laughed whilst remembering all those stories about reincarnation, transmigration, or whatever we call those tropes at the time. Then, I breathed my last as everything in my mind went dark.
