001 - The War

Blinding light filled every corner of Tyson's consciousness. The roaring sounds of an engine kept getting louder and louder.

'What the...'

'Ahhhh!'

The weak consciousness of Tyson tried to resist the sheer brute force of the sound. It bashed the flame around, making it flicker with intensity as if it were trying to resist a hurricane.

'Please....'

Tyson's thoughts began to cloud, his consciousness dwindling further and further into nothingness.

Then suddenly.

Bang!

---------------------------------------------

Colours.

Colours flashed, impaling the dwindling flame. Tyson's brain became filled with an uncountable amount of information, the sheer vastness of the information nearly knocking him out, straight unconscious.

"Ahhhh!"

Tyson's voice rang.

Sssmack!

Pain. Tyson felt pain. The sheering pain Tyson felt jolted him into consciousness. The ringing sound in his ears started to diminish. His vision returned.

'I...I can see!'

Tyson's eyes darted around scouting for any semblance of familiarity, albeit his vision being so blurry he could barely make anything out.

"Get your shit together!"

Bam! A large hand grabbed Tyson's shoulder, shaking him around.

"Hurry and duck you fucking idiot!"

Tyson felt a humongous force pushing him down to his knees, his vision barely starting to recover.

"Take Cover!"

A loud voice resounded in his ears. Tyson's hands grabbed the dirt under him. He was still trying to understand what was happening.

Too much.

Too much, too fast. Ever since Tyson had first gained his senses he was immediately thrown around adding to his confusion.

Shaa, shaa.

Two arrows appeared in front of Tyson.

'What???'

He looked up, only to regret what he saw. Thousands of black dots covered the sky, approaching as a dark cloud.

Tyson's heart clenched at the sight, his stomach becoming lighter. Ba-dum, Ba-dum. Blood began pumping through his veins. He crawled forwards. His instincts were screaming at him to run.

He crawled faster. Grabbing the dirt under his hands.

"You fucking idiot!"

Again, a large pair of hands grabbed onto his shoulders yanking him backwards.

"Stay here! Do you want to die??"

Tyson, still shocked at what was happening, woke up due to the man's hoarse voice.

"What, what, what is going on!" Tyson stuttered.

He looked right and stared at the man who dragged him back. He was massive, he was tall and had broad shoulders and massive arms. He wore a short and simple tunic, armoured with bands of metal.

Tyson looked up. He stared straight at the man, peering into his helmet and straight into his eyes. Only to notice the eyes were looking at him as if he was an idiot.

Then suddenly,

Whizz! whizz! whizz!

A torrent of arrows fell from the heavens.

Shocked Tyson looked around for shelter, only to notice he was dragged to the underside of an elevated slope. Tyson quickly realised that the man from before had saved him.

'No wonder, he is looking at me like I'm an idiot.'

Suddenly, searing pain overtook his brain. An unbearable headache came forth and forced Tyson to his knees.

'Ughh!'

Flashing images raced through his mind. Memories, memories of a being that wasn't his filled his brain. Slowly the pain receded away.

'I... What??'

Confusion filled Tyson's face.

He was Tyson, but he was also another person. He was also someone named Lei Ao. A person belonging to this world. He lived with his family when one day, the troops from the Everlasting Sect came to his village demanding for soldiers in the upcoming conflict against the Dark Moon Empire. Demanding the young and strong as repayment from being under the protection of their sect.

An understanding look filled Lei Ao's face. The previous confusion about his situation disappearing.

He, Tyson, had transmigrated. He who had died had taken over the body of someone named Lei Ao.

[Sign in at the front-line battlefield against the Dark Moon Empire?]

A robotic voice invaded my head.

'Wait... was this like those novels??? A system!'

Excitement and joy could be seen in Lei Ao's eyes. He understood what it meant to have a system. What strengths he could achieve with this.

'Yes, sign in!'

[Signed in at the front-line battlefield against the Dark Moon Empire!]

[Received 'Seven Fists of the Tiger'!]

[Received 'Pain Resistance'!]

[Received 'Enhanced Perception'!]

'Great!'

He finally had something to keep him alive in this situation. Something that would increase his chances of survival.

'Is there also something like this?'

'Status!'

(Normal Adult would have 10 in every stat)

'Can I also do this?'

'Seven Fists of the Tiger skill description!'

He wanted to know what this skill was first, as the others were self-explanatory.

[Skill: 'Seven Fists of the Tiger']:

[Embody the spirit and fighting style of a Tiger. Gain the Tiger's Strength and techniques: +10 [Strength], +7 [Agility] while in use.]

Lei Ao looked at the skill description.

'Nice, this would at least make me able to fight.'

After figuring out who he had become and his gifts, Lei Ao looked up to scout his surroundings. He had to survive. He had to find out his next best possible action. He..

"Get down you idiot! Always moving about and acting weird! Quit it right now, you're causing unease to spread through the troops!"

The man's hoarse voice once again shouted over at Lei Ao.

'Shit, I forgot there were other people'

Lei Ao quickly got down and spoke to the man.

"Sorry, sorry I didn't mean to cause all that! What's your name?"
