21st primarch

An: hey guys, I promise to get to the got fic soon. I swear. But this new space marine game has me in the middle of the giant pool that is warhammer 40k story and lore. I'm actually still not completely competent in knowing different factions and the subtle intrigue that plays out in the universe. Please, give me some suggestions if you happen to enjoy this first chapter and would like to see more.

What the fuck is happening?

I clearly remember dying.

Being involved in an active shooter situation was definitely not on my bucket list. But I'd gotten over that If only to survive, which didn't end up being the case.

The usual active shooter situation. One of the last 'old banks' in America with real cash in the vault, was the one I was at.

'Of all the banks in all the world,' I think to myself as the men begin zip tying my fellow customers of the bank.

Across from me however I see a man who looks different from everyone else on the ground. While they're clearly terrified, he looks unfazed, cold.

His dark blue eyes land on my own green ones and I somehow know instantly what he wants, I'm to take the one closest to me and make as big a scene as possible.

I decided to put my all into it. Grabbing the man about my size, our struggle over the gun became loud with the man leveling curses at me. Instantly the other two began looking over, only for a shot to ring out, rendering my ears which had already been pumping full of blood to become completely moot. The ringing in them now took over the hearing part of my senses.

I focused on other things, the feel of the struggle between my desperate fight for survival. Not just for me, but for the people who actually had someone to go home to i this bank. People who simply wanted to live there lives were thrust into this situation.

The next thing I began to focus on was the scene behind me. It seems the brave man with a pistol who shot one guy didn't do a good enough job to notice the 4th guy who'd been standing watch in the lobby of the bank come in at the sound of gunshots.

He was swiftly dealt with with the Ak style AR in his hand. Seeing my companion fall briefly put me out of focus on the struggle over the gun.

Such a mistake was all the thug needed.

In an instant my world became fuzzy and I registered the feel of my ass hitting the hard floor.

I look up to see the gun butt come from right where my face had been to the man's shoulder before a flash of light engulfed my vision.

———————

Now I was stuck in this perpetual darkness. I thought about what all people think about, 'what happens next?'

My answer came out of this darkness.

"Speak your wishes. A reward for saving those people. The man who was the lookouts distraction didn't see the swat team come in behind him."

I thought for what seemed like an eternity. Everything id dreamed about being fantasy was suddenly looking more and more like reality.

Eventually I spoke, deciding to wish for things that would help me in most of the desired worlds I wanted to go to, "I want the genealogy knowledge acquired by Catherine Halsey and Samuel Hayden."

I got a simple, "continue," in response.

I nodded, before speaking again, "I want an incorruptible mind and will." Again, one of the most important things needed to remain safe in any reincarnated reality.

Again, "continue," was my only answer.

I thought long and hard about this one, but eventually, my mind was made up.

"Give me the 4Runners knowledge of technology." This one would be key. Nobody would get reincarnated into a place that didn't match their wishes.

I knew this as an avid ff reader. Yes, outliers were always present, but usually things went like I said.

I'd banked on going to a interstellar reality. As a young boy who grew up in the age of technology, the knowledge that some reality's could move through space like we drive down the road is so appealing.

So many adventures to have. Incredible discoveries to make. New worlds I thought never available to a 21st century normal guy was now going to be in my finger tips.

Without another word from the voice in the void, I was thrown into an aurora of colors.

————————————

Eventually the colors faded. In its place it felt like I was being sucked through a straw before a pop was heard. Then, my entire life turned upside down.

——————————-

As I became vaguely aware of my surroundings, I tried to move but my body was stuck somehow. Deciding to take it one step at a time I tried to open my eyes.

The monumental task was completed. And with a snap, my eyes began to take in my surroundings.

What I saw didn't help calm me down and give me hope.

Around me a gelatinous fluid kept me afloat. The green substance was odd, comfortable.

My moment of peace was broken when I saw who stood in front of me. A man I can assume to be larger than 10ft tall stood before me. His golden eyes showing surprise at my eye contact with him.

Behind him I notice there are other pods with the same green fluid that encompassed me.

I knew instantly who this was. Where I was. What I was now.

Before it could overwhelm me I felt a shiver run through my body. I didn't know why, but I instantly put my defenses up. Even if I couldn't move my arms.

What I didn't know until later in life was that my psyker powers had just awakened.

The reason? Oh ya know nothing major. Just a confrontation with the WARP GODS at 2 hours old. As I was being pulled away into the warp, I looked back at my father and thought,

'One day I will return a conqueror. A leader. That is my oath.'

This was the last time I'd see my father for years.

Oh did I forget to mention who this mysterious father was? Nobody important. Just the emperor of mankind in the grim dark future of 40k.

And what does that mean? I'm a fucking primarch. The 21st primarch.

An: hope you enjoyed the chapter. A few reasons for my wishes.

I will be creating an army of Spartans/doomslayers . Loyal to the mc.

Not only that, but I feel using the other two wishes as I did has merrit. 4Runner tech is still obsolete in my memory unless halo has recently changed drastically. I think this will allow me to be able to grab other things from other realities even not officially 4Runner tech and make it so. Think of my Spartan slayers running around in iron man suits of their own.

Honestly? I'm just trying to dip my toe into the world of 40k. Would really appreciate any feedback on your thoughts for my chapter and suggestions I made above. Have a good one ❤️
