~??? POV ~
"Wahhh!!!"
Where the fuck am I!
No wait calm down surely there must be a good explanation for all of this…
Observing around myself I happen to see a person clothed around herself as she cries a lot as she tells me in a raspy tone, "I'm sorry my son Tatsumi but please know that I'm doing this for the boundless love and not fall for the same as the Empire. Please my boy live."
Clearly around myself at the person in question as she had brown hair and green eyes, I see tears fall down as I was left on a porch of someone's home as I heard knocking sounds soon as I saw the face of an old man.
I know where this cliché is going, and I have seen many and I mean MANY isekai anime and novels to know where this is going.
From the looks of things my mom is already long gone before I had the chance to do anything but cry in my baby body.
Glancing up to the old man in front of me I can already tell that this guy is reading a paper that was on me in a blanket as he spoke, "Please Chieftain of this village make sure my baby boy Tatsumi is safe from the Empire corruption. Sigh… my poor boy you are like the rest, but I promise to take care of your young lad."
It's official I'm in Akame ga Kill and I'm one of the main protagonists Tatsumi…
Fuck my life…
…
…
*SWOOSH*
"HIYAH!"
*BAM*
Quickly getting a straight jab into the tree I see the same mark that is always there every time that I punch too hard making a dent with my fist as I talked to myself, "Ok looks like I need more focus on tightening my skin like master said otherwise the bleeding will continue to show. Sigh… really wish he was still around to teach me a thing or two still."
What I was doing is my daily training my body for the past few years ever since I was reincarnated in this world and would you know it, I was the protagonist of this fucked up world right.
Akame ga Kill.
I know bad luck, right?
Sigh…
Why did I have to be reincarnated into this world of all places to start with as my previous life was bade enough before was already bad before now, but now I have to survive in this harsh world.
When I was born, I was certainly surprised to be reincarnated into this world and as Tatsumi no less.
Which wasn't bad to say the least, but I trained my ass hard when I knew I was Tatsumi and prepared myself for everything this fucked up world has for me!
I already knew plenty of stuff from my previous world and my other family I was killed when I finally graduated college the day after it was held.
All of those painful hours and harsh times when my family was poor trying their best to help support me to get into just a college was hard, but I made up for it to help them out by getting a good job for them that I poured most of my time into my studies.
Just when I was happy to finally be free of my working my ass off from all the studying and hours, I put in to graduate and the dark days behind me only for some fucking ass hole with a gun wanted to shoot our home the next day to steal our stuff!!
Like seriously what the literal fuck was that on about!
Urgh…
Avoiding something like that in the future I plan to make sure I stay alive and live a long fulfilling life free of danger with a few excitements here and there but also try to steer clear to the plot of the story.
Or at the very least exploit the hell out of it just being me Tatsumi the main character to get those cheats.
At the very least if I managed to get a girl it would be Esdeath since I do fit all the criteria for her husband check.
Trust me I tried very hard too if my plans with the plot of the story is strong or if I wasn't strong enough to know where to go next best bet get some good connections with someone with power but show you're not weak.
Luckily for me even Esdeath said that Tatsumi had the potential to become a General level character so it's not all hopeless to me yet.
But I won't be the one defeated here I want to be the one to live my life how I see fit for my previous life harsh life I will play my role to get what I need and build power to become stronger in the future although I may have to join Night Raid for that to happen just to get Incursio.
Plus, having Incursio would be helpful if I can kill the damn dragon inside of it but for that to happen, I'm going to need Akame help for it to work out fuck my life honestly.
I surely have a lot on my plate but not impossible to accomplish since that Tyrant always pops up into its form all I need is Murasame in its transformation state and done.
No Tyrant reappearing in the future problem solved.
Controlling my own body functions when I fuse with Incursio?
Why bother when my master already gave me the Kraken Broth to get my body in a more perfect control of myself since I was 10 years old. I sure miss that bastard but what can one do when he died defending this village from raiders and bandits.
Seeing that I'm 15 years old I wonder when the plot starts for me or the events of Akame ga Kill Zero already in motion?
The timeline of events is pretty much unclear so even I don't know when the plot began or not for that matter as the only indication for when it begins is when me and my friends leave the village as to get money for them but attacked by bandits soon separated from our fates.
Still, I have to prepare for my future since I want to live my life. Over the years I train my swordsmanship and my close quarter combat skills as best as I can with my sparing partners and friends Sayo and Ieyasu.
We are childhood friends in this small village of ours for the longest time since we were all abandoned from our parents for one reason or the other. They were both odd and unique in their own ways we always have been the trio of sorts in our small village.
But I was glad to be friends with them it's a shame I can't do much when the evitable happens to them as much as I want to save them. If the original Tatsumi survived by separating from them when the bandit attack happens, I need to try if I can save them.
I'm not even sure I'm not strong enough to make changes happen under my power and even if I did try to follow them it would Ieyasu undoing that his sense of traveling could only be matched to Zoro bad sense of direction.
But my days with the villagers were good at least I managed to learn a few key important skills needed to live in this world cooking, swordsmanship, blacksmithing, CQC, and knowledge of this world.
The basic currency that this world uses are Copper, Silver, and Gold coins each having a different set of value into it and the dangers of Danger Beasts in the Empire.
I was lucky that I learned all of the knowledge from the village elder and swordsmanship training from an ex-Imperial Soldier who was even a Fist Imperial Martial artist.
Shaking my head away of those thoughts I was busy with my own kind of problem would be my growth is beginning to slow down even I train myself to the extreme with boulders on my body weighting me down.
Narrowing my eyes at this I knew I can't grow strong this way for long I need a way to get stronger so that I can become strong enough on my own world if not then knowing what happens in the future is enough for me to get motivated even further beyond.
Currently as I was training in my private area of the forest, I managed to hear Sayo calling for me in a distance from the echo's, "Tatsumi!! Come home already it's time for lunch it's our time to cook for the week!"
Sigh…
Stopping my training I get myself dressed in my shirt and grabbed my sheathe that holds my short sword as I jog back to Sayo voice originated from.
Thinking about my time here I also learn that I shouldn't hesitate to kill people it has happen before in the past honestly and when I didn't my master paid the price for it.
When someone raided our village 5 years ago, I was already training myself how to handle my swordsmanship under the ex-empire soldier at a young age as he already gave me the Kraken Broth as a present for completing under him but when the village got raided, I froze for the first time.
And in that moment when a raider was going to gut me my master took the hit and killed him as I looked at my master fatal wound to the neck then rage soon after took me…
When I first thought that killing my first human, I had to admit it was scary but when my master took the fatal blow to me it made me snapped killing the raiders as that man and the old chieftain was close to what a father would feel like compared to my own.
I learned the hard way that hesitating would get people close to you kill unless you act the fuck up or die.
But I knew it was needed in this world to have a strong will since this place will mind fuck you or scar you for life or rape you or all at once if I wasn't prepared for what it was ahead and master taking the hit, I would've died on that day.
Although it did get me to be a bit lonely since the rest of the kids were afraid of me after the event happening to l at such a young age if Akame ga Kill Zero was a thing in my time I was sure fire missed pick to be recruited to be in Gozuki team.
But I did continue my training of the Imperial Fist fighting style from my master old training book as I took it in and his swordsmanship to heart to never feel that weak again.
The Imperial Fist fighting style revolves around the use of controlling the human body to a degree under a harsh training regimen and harsher concentration to accomplish the goal as well.
It was like One Piece Six Powers of sorts but lower tier than that technique only controlling the body to an extent but only by drinking the Kraken Broth can the fighting style truly shine.
So yeah, I have my fighting style down but only about useful for fighting in CQC but I digress I finally got to Sayo as she was wearing her clothing as she puffs her face, "Tatsumi you are late again you were supposed to help me cook our meals today."
Expressing a wry smile as I was scratching the back of my head I responded to her, "Hahaha… sorry about that Sayo I was busy training again you know how it is to me."
Sayo just releases a sigh as she pinches her fingers at my ear as she was dragging me around to the house we all lived in as she says to me, "Sigh… seriously Tatsumi I know that you are a hard worker at times especially in your training but sometimes I worry that you may overdue it at times."
Shaking my head to her we both finally reached the house with Ieyasu waiting getting irritated at me as Sayo and me begin cooking the food we had fortunately I already have learned cooking in my past life so it was just a matter of when I was going to cook again.
But with that we cooked the food and began to eat in peace as we go on about what should we do in the future and all of that.
Sayo and Ieyasu both discussed about how we are going to save our village while I agree in spirit, I don't think it would be possible unless we get money first.
And even getting a job from the Empire Capital police was out of the question since they don't exactly treat outsiders friendly.
That and the great depression were suffering as well.
After we were done eating, we all left to our rooms as we did some late-night exercise to lose some weight.
I finally managed to get inside my room as I think to myself in silence with a concerned tone while I think, 'Another day and another survival, man it has been 15 years since I was reborn in this world as Tatsumi. Since then, I am trying to learn everything and train to the best of my ability to survive this world, I was fortunate that he was able to train in his early life or I might have been screwed.'
But still I wish I still had a cheat but then again, my future knowledge is my greatest strength to have as well as hard work.
As I was thinking of this, I soon see a screen pop up that I look with a raised eyebrow.
[Do you accept to join the Dimensional Chat Group?]
[Y/N]
Seeing this I knew from other fanfics what this was and since I'm in need of some power ups and probably some new friends I could benefit from this nicely so without any problems I pressed the yes button to see what happens next.
However, I soon regrated my decision from the name I was given.
[The Dimensional Group Chat has been created, congratulations for the "EsdeathBitch" to become the group owner.]
[Ding! 'Princess' has joined the Dimensional Group Chat!]
[Ding! 'SwordBae' has joined the Dimensional Group Chat!]
I hate this already.
My rage can't be measured for this existing…
