1 Chapter 1: Reincarnated

Sirus Rose is a retired soldier and a current business owner or should I say a former business owner.

It was late at night, past the usual time I go home, instead of heading straight home, I thought I would chill for a bit at my favourite Raman shop.

It was just a couple of blocks away from the place I work.

I was feeling tired, and sluggish so I took a shortcut.

who knew taking a so-called shortcut, would end my very life.

This shortcut was an alleyway that I would take from now and then, but not much cause of the homeless and alcoholics that stay at this alleyway.

It reeked of their stench, I turned a corner, at that moment I heard a woman screaming.

So what do I do you may ask? Why as a man I would obviously help a fellow human being shouting in the middle of the night.

I quickly went to see what was the cause of the sudden scream.

There was a beautiful woman around her 20's or at least she looked in her 20's.

From what I could remember, she was wearing black heels, a very short red skirt and a plain white office shirt.

I remember 2 guys, both wearing a black ski mask, black pants, and black sleeves.

The guy on the left wielding a wooden bat, the guy on the right, was holding a pistol that seemed like a Glock 17.

Semi-automatic, fairly light, great accuracy, and overall a comfortable gun to hold.

At least from where I was standing, after all, it wasn't very lit in this dark and rotton alleyway.

The poor woman looked like she was getting robbed and from the looks of it seem parts of her shirt got ripped off.

One would assume these criminals were to ruff while handing her or the worst possible thing that can happen to a woman, being raped.

With nothing, but my bare hands to defend myself and the possibility to save the woman.

It was already too late to run back if I wanted to. Unfortunately for me, I was too far away from the criminals to do anything. I tried talking it out with them and slowly moving towards them with my hands up in the air.

(Going to third person)

"Hey! I'm sure you don't want to be in this situation, if someone put you up to this I can guarantee your safety!"

The guy on the left with the wooden bat yells at Sirus with a scared and worried look and replies.

"We got nothing to do with you buddy! Just go back where ever you came from and you won't get hurt!"

Sirus grinds his teeth, he can often lose his anger at times and this time was not the best course of action, he takes a breath and exhales slowly.

"Look am sure we can work things out, just me and you and your buddy there, so drop the bat and the gun, and we can both walk away from this and act as nothing happened!"

As I was slowly taking each small step, trying to talk the criminals out of this, suddenly out of nowhere, my wallet slips out of my jacket, causing the gunman to get startled by this sudden occurrence of the sound. He was facing the hostage with his gun held at the woman. Being frightened by the sudden sound he panics and...

He bloody fires at the woman for whatever reason as he was pointing the gun at her. He stands frightened and shivering as he shot at the unarmed hostage. Slowly turning around to face Sirus with a scared expression with his hands trembling as he held the gun akwardly.

One could tell the fear in his eyes as he just shot the woman in the stomach.

The guy with the gun says.

"I-It wasn't my fault! It was y-you! Yes, you!" He said as he trembled, slowly raising the gun towards Sirus.

'This guy is clearly an idiot.' Sirus thought to himself

The gunman smiled coldly as he chuckled as he slowly pulled the trigger.

[Bang!]

With no hesitation, he shoots me 7 times 5 in the chest 2 in the head, like seems a bit much don't you think?

The gunman faced his partner in crime and with tears falling out he dropped the gun and ran slowly disappearing into the dark night.

I dropped to the hard-cold concrete floor, of course, I was already dead as he shot me in the head, well twice in fact. You may be thinking how did I know the concrete was cold? Well It's common sense, isn't it?

Anyway, as I was laying down dead in the alleyway, my eyes slowly closed and all I could see was complete utter darkness, shortly after I heard a voice become louder and louder it was like, I can't describe it well it was almost robotic-like, but not at the same time if you get me, a bright light covered my vision, I was blinded but only for a moment, what I saw was... Well, let's say I was less expecting a...

floating cube. What? Yes, you heard me a cube in the air, I had no idea what was going on, first things first...

I just wanted some ramen! some of the finest ramen, a food of culture that changed millions of lives.

I certainly didn't order the death wish and the special order and get shot in the face, let me remind you I got shot 7 fricken times by some lunatic who nearly shit his pants just because my wallet fell out of my jacket.

Now a random floating cube appears and starts talking. like I thought death was meant to be peaceful, calm and quiet not some floating half-ass cube in the air talking to me.

I sighed and placed my hand on my face, Wait my hand? Ahh okay? I still have my body...

and not my clothes.

Well, I think I remember the Americans saying if you aren't free in life, take off your clothes and run outside in the fields with your dick handing out.

Or at least I think that how it went? Or I could be making it up.

Now, what was I on about before? Ahh, I remember the floating cube that's in front of me that won't stop talking.

Well, am dead with nothing else to do besides listen. [Sigh] I might as well listen to what this cube is rumbling on about.

"Hello Sir Sirus Rose, Are you listening to me?" Finally, your listening, you looked like you saw a ghost oh wait, you're dead so I guess it's only fair, anyway please listen to what I have to say."

"Alright just get on with it you fricken talking cube."

"First let me introduce myself, my name is not cube, second you can call me Simon 001.

Just to make it easier for your little human brain to understand, just call me Simon."

"Alright… So where exactly am I."

'Half ass Cube'

"You are what we call the Dimension Gate between life and death you have been given a second chance in life, in another world full of magic and things that were never on earth."

"Okay that sounds cool and all?" but can I have some clothes?"

"Now if you would Sir Sirus please select a race."

'Okay ignore me I can see you're a pervert who likes men naked.'

"Also what Race? You mean I can turn black?"

A blinding light appears in the room behind him.

Sirus turns around to see what was so bright.

"WILL YOU STOP WITH THE LIGHTS, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME BLIND YOU STUPID HALF ASS PERVERTED CUBE!"

The light goes away at a moment notice. Glass capsules surround the room with an [+] Icon above the capsules with bodies of what looked like fantasy creatures.

"Please select between these races your options are."

[Human] [+]

[Demon] [+]

[Beast-Men] [+]

[Elf] [+]

[Demi-Human] [+]

[Giants] [+]

[Vampire] [+]

[Witch] [+]

[Dwarf] [+]

[Ogre] [+]

[Fairy] [+]

[Kobold] [+]

[Goblin] [+]

[Centure] [+]

[Arachne] [+]

[WereWolf] [+]

[Menticore] [+]

[Gordon] [+]

[Imp] [+]

Etc.

And the capsules go on and on.

Sirus is stunned at how many capsules he could choose from. There were endless varieties of races he could potently choose from

"Woah, these are awesome, wait? I'm I going to another world as in those anime? Where the person gets reincarnated kind of thing?"

"Indeed, you will pick your race and be reincarnated into another world."

"Awesomeee." Sirus said with an excited expression on his face. With a curious expression, he asks.

"What are those things on top of the capsule?"

"By clicking those icons you will be able to choose from the different types of race within that race that you have touched. An example would be a [Goblin] they vary from."

[High-End-Goblin]

[Evolved Goblin]

[High Goblin]

"These are just a few examples from the Goblin race itself."

Sirus didn't hesitate about the potential race. He quickly says.

"The Demon Race what are my opinions with them?"

Multiple interfaces appear in front of Sirus.

[Race] Demon [Selected]

[Role] Unknown

[Selected Ozbark World]

[Awaiting Role Selection]

Another interface appears to his left.

[Role Selection] [+]

[Citizen]

[Noble]

[Royal]

Sirus thinks about what to choose as his role as a Demon, He Smiles and says "I like the sound of a Noble Demon. It has a nice ring to it."

"A Demon hmm? Interesting, now all of your memories will still be with you when you are on the other side.

"This is where you will be able to see your current levels, skills, magic, and also your stats, simply when you are reincarnated, simply say [DataBase Command] and it will appear in front of you.

"Now, no one will be able to see the interface, only you will be able to see. To use it, simply reach out your hand, how you would use a phone it's quite easy to use."

"Interesting, mind I ask what are stats?"

"Stats will be your strength, health, knowledge, mana, agility, stamina, combat art, range art, and melee art."

"Each stat will have a number beside its coordinating stats. Expect for the arts which will have a level beside it.

"Let's say your strength, if you had 2 people fighting with each other if one had 5 strength, and the other has 20, the person with the higher stat will be able to do more damage, these stats can be upgraded by simply working out or using weapons with brute force or simply lifting heavy objects. The same goes with the other stats in their own way.

"Knowledge will be increased by learning new languages and new things such as culture, spells and the basic knowledge and you will learn the rest of the stats as you go on."

"I see ok."

'Could have been more descriptive but whatever.'

Sirus's body slowly starts disappearing and floats up in the air.

Sirus freaks out for a moment but quickly realise why his body may be disappearing, but he has no clue why he is floating he just is.

"I guess am about to get reincarnated alright.

I'm totally not ready, things are happening too fast but whatever I'm sure I can manage."

"Now before you go I will give you the knowledge of every language in order to make your journey easier."

Sirus smiles and thanks for letting him know the language of this new world called Ozbark.

"No worries Sir Sirus now, I wish you all the best on your travels."

Sirus completely disappears.

"Finally that ungrateful piss of trash is finally gone, he has the nerves to talk back at me, when am giving him a second chance. Hey, are you still here?

Are you sure it was a good idea to send him to Ozbark? And why kill him?"

A dark cube appears in thin air before Simon, much larger than he is.

"Everything is according to my plan, it does not matter to me what happens on that lowly planet."

"Your the same as always..."
