1 Meeting the god of war

Luka is your typical soldier, not a really smart guy so immediately after Highschool he enlisted into his countries army.

There he served for 6 years in the infantry division, wasn't much of joy or anything since he lived in a pretty peaceful country.

From then he moved to Russia, there to be served in the military for another 3 years, eventually, he couldn't take the cold any longer so he moved to India.

In India, he served as a policeman for 13 years, but eventually, he got into some conflict with some Hindu and Buddist monks so he was thrown out of the police, thus he wound up in America.

There he once again enlisted in the military, serving another 10 years before he finally retired due to an injury he received that left him an amnesiac, he can no longer remember his last name, his country of origin nor most of the time he served in the armies.

Every so often he loses another memory or remembers a small part of what he should be remembering, his life is miserable.

The injury he received was pretty severe, amnesia is just one of the effects, suffering, shaking and loss of motor functions are all the bonuses he received in this pack of mindfuckery.

Currently, he is walking back home from the supermarket, he bought groceries for himself, food truly is the best way to ease his mind.

But as he was walking he didn't notice the hole in front of him, usually, these sorts of things would be taped off but since this is a small town that he lives in they just put these small orange cones around the hole and notified everyone about the hole.

Luka wasn't paying attention to the road and forgot about the notification they gave out about the hole so as he was walking he accidentally stepped into the hole and fell to the bottom snapping his neck and dying.

"Where am I? Is this hell?'' Asked Luka as he opened his eyes yet all that greeted him was darkness, no light, this is probably hell, he shall be doomed to suffer for all eternity here.

Luka isn't kidding himself, he knows what he has done, war brings no justice, just the victors and the losers, the aggressors and the victims, with him having been in the military basically his whole life he knows that he will for sure go to hell.

"This is not hell, far from it, this is the realm of the gods." It is then that Luka heard a voice, it is a low thunderous sort if voice, he looked around himself and saw a tall man looking down on him, like really tall, about 10 meters tall.

"Then, why am I here? What is desired of me?" Asked Luka, he cares not for the fact that he is in front of a god, he has always been a firm atheist so the shock of finding out gods exists holds him back from kneeling and prostrating himself.

"I am the god of war, and I desire to shape a soldier, I am the living embodiment of war yet I have no warrior to represent me, thus I searched for the best candidate for my avatar and I came upon you." Said the god of war, this is actually quite confusing, Luka isn't a great soldier, sure he might have served for a long time but he was by no means a great soldier so why does the god seek him?

"I see, but why me? What do I get out of this? And how do I become your avatar?" Asked Luka as he looked up at the god, becoming the god of war's avatar sounds good but what does that exactly entail?

"I chose you because you are a talentless soldier, even after serving as long as you did you had no talent, those without talent have to work hard and thus become stronger than those with talent who get arrogant. We gods have an unspoken rule amongst us, the best person to become our avatar isn't the most talented but the most talentless. As for your benefits, you shall live again and exceed anything a normal human could ever achieve. You shall become the avatar through biological and technological means as well as training." Said the god of war as he looked at Luka, what he said is the truth, many gods took in talented avatars yet none of them were any good, humans only learn and become truly powerful when they have to earn their power.

"Could you elaborate a bit more on the last part?" Asked Luka, so far this deal doesn't sound that bad, but the last part is too vague, what does he mean by technological and biological means?

"Fine then, by spreading war, killing great warriors and becoming a better warrior you shall gain an upgrade to your body, the upgrade can be technological, magical, or biological. The training will consist of you traveling to a different world and different points in time, there you shall kill and participate in wars. For your first deployment, you shall be sent to a world with mostly human limits, no magic or superhumans, it's actually an amalgamation of different worlds which you might have seen. You shall also gain your first biological and technological upgrade upon deployment. Those upgrades are the genetics material of Jango Fett and Stem from the movie Upgrade, it just won't try to overtake your body." Said the god of war, by this point Luka's mouth was wide open.

He watched both of those movies, although he can't remember much from both of them he remembers that Jango Fett is a great bounty hunter and that Stem is a great upgrade as long as it doesn't try to take him over.

"Then I agree upon your condition, I shall become your avatar." Said, Luka before he disappeared and went away.
