Chapter 2

"ahh... I'm tired" I sighed laying down on my sofa.

It has been forty years since I reincarnated in this world, and nothing happened... No villain, no demon lord, nothing, only work.

This world is known as Faeran, or death in its ancient language, strange name but it has a meaning, but let's start at the beginning.

At first, I thought I was reincarnated here for a meaning, that my purpose here was to save this world or something, but no, not long after I was born my parents told me they already knew I was reincarnated, of course, I was stunned by it but what stunned me the most was that people like me are very common, like 30% of the world population is made of reincarnated or chosen for short, and the reason for this is the death gods.

The Death Gods are the only known gods in this world, their job is to maintain a balance between the souls, they chose who will reincarnate or not, when a soul is not eligible for reincarnation they 'kill' this soul, and when a soul from this world 'dies' a Death God go to another world and chose another soul and let it be born again in this world, that's why we are often called chosen.

The interesting thing is that because it's a soul from another world, they can't change anything in it, letting them be born with the memories of their past lives, only when a chosen dies and becomes a soul from this world that they can erase their memories and join the circle of souls.

From what I learned there are multiple types of universes, the universe where Faeran is located is a magic-type, while the universe where the earth is located is a soul-type, a magic-type universe is where magic is abundant but it can't produce its souls, while a soul-type is the contrary, there is as well the habitat-type where almost all plates are habitable, and the resource type where there's no life but a lot of resources, all universes have their drawbacks.

Coming back to the topic, Faeran is named in mention of the Death Gods, and currently, Faeran is in complete peace, with no wars, no monsters running rampage, nothing, Faeran is at least 10 times bigger than Earth so the cities don't have to compete for resources, the monsters don't attack humans since various high-level monsters appeared and commanded them with human-level intelligence, the demons are the same.

The world reached peace around 500 years ago, this let humanity develop at an insane pace, and with the help of earth scientists, Faeran has technology even more superior than Earth, and with the addition of mana and 10 times the resources earth could provide.

*knock knock*

"Sir, it's time." Someone said behind the door.

"Understood, prepare the Helicopter." I said getting up from the sofa.

Since I was born, my dad made me train hard even if the world is at peace, when I turned 18 I joined the military, and now after 22 years I'm a sergeant major, my dad was the commander, my mother was second in command, both were very strong, but unfortunately they died of old age 10 years ago.

"What is the location today sir?"Getting up on the helicopter the pilot asked.

"10 miles east.".

"Yes sir.".

Since I was born with a lot of magic, my dad planned to train me to become a mage, but a small problem appeared, I suck at magic, it's not that I can't use magic, but I just find it difficult, my control over mana was garbage.

But that didn't interfere with my training, since I couldn't be a mage, I'm gonna be a warrior, my dad trained me in all kinds of weapons, swords, axes, daggers, and even gloves that are my favorite, who needs mana when you can give a beautiful punch in the face of some bastard, well I still need it.

Even if I don't have much control over it I can still use some simple magic, such as strength strengthening, I simply put mana in my muscles and improve my strength, and this coupled with the abnormal strength I have had since born I could flatten a car simply pressing with one hand, that's how I could get to Sergeant Major in just 22 years.

But why have a military in a world in peace? Well, everything can happen, and that's why I'm being called, if you don't have problems outside town, you will have problems in town, and as one of the most powerful people in the country the problem must be very serious, not really.

*Roar!* 

As we approached the location, I could already hear a certain creatures roar, I looked through the window, and there stood in the middle of the forest a 5 meters tall red dragon, he was destroying every tree in his path.

"Everything is ready sir." I nodded at the pilot and opened the door, I glanced at the dragon just below the helicopter, I sighed before putting on my iron gloves and jumping down.

I drew back my fist and started to use various spells.

"Strength strengthening, Iron body, Resistance Improvement..." I said in a low voice, I didn't have to but it helps me concentrate.

Most of the spells I used were to increase my strength and weight, I was at least 300 feet above the ground so the more weight the better.

As I'm falling cutting through the air the dragon notices me and immediately he began to panic, and my speed increases as he does it.

"Get the fuck out of the way!" a voice yells at the dragon, but he was even more panicked than it.
