Chapter 1

I looked at the other person across the room, he already explained the situation I was in, I was dead, and this is my only chance of coming out of this alive with a new life.

Although I trained my whole life in many different things, I never once put them to good use or any sort of use for that matter.

I learned, the spear, sword, bow, and all of their variants, but never once have I ever participated in a tournament.

I practiced martial art and never once fought a fight, I would always cower to whoever confronted me.

I learned physics, chemistry, biology well beyond my grade level, but never once actually studied seriously, eventually forgetting the great well of knowledge I knew, never bother to go beyond the level of 9th grade.

I learned different types of sports, from football to tennis, to cycling to parkour, but failed to continue in any of them seriously, with my height, I would be a top choice for a basketball team.

I wasted my talent in everything I do, turning to games, anime, and manga, believing that they would actually take me anywhere in life.

I wasted my money on worthless things believing any of them would actually matter.

I didn't even have a social life, I never did, my family always preached being alone, no wonder why all mothers in my family are single by their first or second child.

But now, I have a chance, I have a chance to change everything, to actually be something.

And all I have to do is kill him.

He looked like he had a foot in the grave, his skin was was merely flaps of skin drooping off his body, grey hair and all, his overall look was that of a 90-year-old man, and by coincidence, we are both have the same name, Momoe.

He stomped his foot on celestial ground below us, his foot landing creating a massive vibration along with a cloud of dust.

"Now then, this is how this will work, since you are one of my future lives, you can use all of my abilities, along with my very own knowledge on how they are used, but it is only temporary in this space, but it will become permanent once you kill me."

"If you kill me, you will be reborn into my own world, with all of your memories sealed since a newborn's brain can't handle that much, the seal will unlock when you have enough space in the brain to hold everything."

He stopped talking and pointed towards the ground and started again, "This ground will act like earth for any earth magic used, the water magic you would have to figure out yourself."

"Now, are you ready?"

I looked at him as I breathed out a breath of air, I took in another, and calmed my nerves," Yes, I am."

The old man smirked as he vanished from his spot, Momoe seeing this, instantly shifted to the side raising his arms and blocking a straight punch.

"Good Reflexes." He stated as he proceed to kick Momoe away, but before he could land, he was levitated into the air dragged back to the old man while receiving a flurry of punches before being let go.

"Come on young man, if you can't handle the basics, how would you handle full power."

Landing on the ground, he grunted and stood up, he manipulated his mana into a blade-like shape, taking advantage of the element of Void, the element that never worked with the elements.

A silver-colored blade appeared in his hands but soon took a greenish tint with the wind element covering the blade, along with an advanced sharpness enhancement.

Followed by several reinforcements on his body, the main ones being speed and defense, and dashed forward at a blinding speed.

Seeing this, the old man cast a magic spell, "Earth Wall."

A wall made of solid earth shot up from the ground in the path of Momoe but was soon cut down almost immediately.

But the old man was prepared for this and quickly made a blade of his own, reinforced with wind and water magic, and dashed forward, meeting Momoe halfway.

They both held the same stance, both fighting for dominance, soon they both braw back their blades and strike again at the same spot, both struggling in a head-to-head clash.

While in this clash, Momoe stomped on the ground, creating spikes of the earth under the old man but he jumped and landed quite a few meters away.

While he was in the air, Momoe charged his blade with lightning magic and dashed forward, slicing through the earth spikes in the way and running towards the old man, as he landed, Momoe slashed towards his neck.

Seeing this he cast another spell, "Wild Wind." and a blast of strong winds shot out in all directions blocking the lightning-covered sword from cutting him, after that he slashed his own sword towards Momoe, but Momoe dashed backward to avoid it.

The old man teleported a hundred meters away from Momoe, while Momoe stood in a stance.

Momoe got rid of his blade and conjured a Katana with a scabbard, Mana protruded from being. Different elements circled around him, Wind lined the katana's blade within the scabbard, water circled around his feet, lightning charged around his body and fire con flared up around him with every breath.

He sprinted forwards, seeing this, the old man molded his mana and shouted, "HEAVENLY EMPEROR'S LINE!"

A line of earth walls blocked Momoe's path, hundreds of these walls were created in an instant, meanwhile, the old man began molding his mana for a spell.

Momoe took an Iaido stance mid-air, drawing his katana with speed comparable to non, the resulting slash sliced through the earth wall effortlessly, landing he dashed forward again with losing momentum.

Momoe was less than a meter away from the old man in less than a second, he took the sword and slashed downwards, intending to slice him in half.

Seeing that he couldn't activate his spell fast enough he abandoned the spell and blasted his mana outwards.

Seeing this, Momoe instantly created a magic cutting blade and cut off his head through the explosion of magic.
