The Sound of Despair

Transmigration. What if the cause is not a bus running you over, nor you falling into a pond, but you get five years to prepare, fully aware of what you’re getting into? Well, at least you think you know what you’re getting into... This is the situation Mike, a professional MMA fighter, finds himself in. Given the opportunity to leave behind his life on Earth and enter a world of swords and magic, he prepares to face the challenge. In a world of discrimination, injustice, and social class inequality, Mike demonstrates how far Earth has come in developing its martial arts and how much a simple low-kick can hurt. You’re stronger? Well, first, you will have to land a hit. You’re faster? Does it really matter if your movement is so wasteful? You know incredible techniques? Are they better than the legendary one-two combo, perfected by legends through thousands of years? You have more money? That indeed seems to be a problem. You have companions? It’s not like I’m lonely... I don’t need anyone… You know magic? Ok, now it’s just getting unfair. Mike will have to learn to adapt, improve and find his path in a world that is ruthless beyond compare. --------------------------------------------------------- The first five chapters can be a little slow and serve more as a prologue. If you find yourself bored or generally dislike "training arcs," just skip to the sixth chapter when Mike's life in the new world officially begins. In general, there will be a lot of training, as I love training sequences like in the 36th Chamber of the Shaolin. There will also be close to no romance, and while this is not a pet taming novel, there will be companions. I just enjoy writing as a hobby and hope I can share that with you. =) Link to full cover: https://imgur.com/a/YrzVqNg

Value of Life

Was it hypocritical to mourn the death of fifteen people after he had already killed many times that number with his own hands? Regardless of enemy or friend, innocent or guilty, evil or good, was one life worth more than the other? For Sturm, there definitely was a difference, but it had nothing to do with worth but survival.

The guards and slavers back in the slave camp had not only frequently abused their power but had tried to kill him. If you plan to take someone else's life, then you have to be prepared to give up your own in return. It was a simple truth and how the world, especially this one, worked.

That did not mean others did not deserve to die, but Sturm had yet to kill someone on purpose without acting in self-defense. For some time, he thought he was cold-blooded for not feeling too much remorse, as their deaths never gave him sleepless nights.
