Reincarnation

One minutes, i was in my room playing DOOM eternal and the next i was in space, i think.

"Where am i ?" I pondered.

Suddenly i heard a low and deep voice "You are in the Void, young one." It replied.

"Huh ? W-who...who are you ?" I asked startled by the suddent response.

"I'm what you would call a GOD, or a ROB but i find this term insulting so don't call me that !" It replied.

"W-wait, if you're a god, does that mean i died ? Like in all those fic on the internet ?" I asked.

"Yes, you died because of an explosion caused by a terrorists who was stupid enough to explode the wrong place. He was supposed to do it at 2 streets further from yours. A mistake that i would have to correct, it won't take long, but the problem is that i can't make you go back to you world because your soul is already out of the cycle of reincarnation of this world, so instead you'll get into another one, unfortunately you can't choose it, but i can give you a wish so you can be sure to survive in it." He explained.

That was a lot to take in, even if i lived alone i was still sad that i won't be able to play with my friends online anymore, we played a lot together, we even met each other in real life once.

But now i got a chance to star anew and *be better*.

So i thought for a minute before asking for the power of the DOOM Slayer, this guy could tear a body in two without problem and could resist explosion (in the lore at least). So it would be, with the Saiyan race, perfect for wherever i would get reincarnated to.

"Well it's decide then you'll be going in the world of the Borderlands games, 1 hour before Lilith and the other arrive to the bus stop."

Wait, the Borderlands games ? But before i could react he snapped his finger and my vision became dark and my other sense where turned off.

When i got my senses back, i instantly noticed the heat, dry air and harsh blue sky.

But i felt different, stronger, my vision was sharper, and i felt as if i was invincible.

I clenched my fist and felt my muscle as if they were made of iron, i was more muscular than i was before, i feel taller too.

Then i looked at how i was dressed and i was dressed in the Sentinel training armor that we can unlock in the forteress in DOOM eternal.

Or at least it looked like it, but i don't think it is the same.

If i had know i would get in the world of Borderlands i would've asked for the power of a Siren like in those fics i read in my past life.

Suddenly, I heard the god's voice again. "One more thing. The Borderlands world is harsh, especially when it comes to food. So even if your new body doesn't really need to eat because of the Slayer's physiology, and you could eat most things without problem, i give you a system which only feature is a shop, and it only has food from your old world, you'll find plenty of weapons in this world so no need for that. I wish you a good life kid."

And with that, his voice faded away, and I was left alone in the desert.

It also reminded me that i don't have weapons so i needed to find something fast, because even if the Slayer's strength is unmatched in most world, i would still need something to kill from distance, the problem is that i never used a gun apart from plastic ones, so i will have to learn in the hour i have before Lilith and the others arrive.

Fortunately, i think there's a chest with weapons on the roof of the motel.

I climbed on the roof of the motel and instead of a chest like in the game there was a case with a lock on it, i crushed the lock and opened the case, and found a Vladof Pistol, two magazine plus the one in it, and 24 dollars.

It's of bad quality but it's a start.

Now i gotta learn how to use it, fortunately there's empty beer bottles here.

I got back on the ground and aligned the empty beers on a table before positioning myself around 10 meters from them.

I positioned my fingers like i saw on documentaries about the police or the army and aimed at the bottle the most on the right.

I held my breath for stability and shoot.

It missed, but not by much.

I can feel the recoil of the Pistol but it wasn't enough to even make me budge, my strength really is much higher than before.

I repositioned myself and shoot again, this time i hit the bottle.

After a few attempt and lots of broken bottles, i succeded in hiting the bottles "first try" at around 10 meters distance.

It's should be good enough for the moment and i don't have much time because Claptrap just arrived so that means the other are coming.

Claptrap saw me and started approaching.

"Hey there, new meat ! I mean, friend ! Welcome to Pandora ! I'm Claptrap, the best CL4P-TP steward bot in the universe ! What's your name, meat sack ?"

I always liked Claptrap, he was always one of my favorite with Handsome Jack.

"My name's Dylan." I replied.

"Nice to meet you, Dylan !" Claptrap's eye flickered with excitement. "Welcome to Pandora ! The locals are very welcoming. Well, if by *welcoming* you mean *they'll shoot you on sight.* But I'm sure you'll manage !"

I smiled at his words.

"So, Dylan, what brings you to Pandora ? Looking for adventure ? Treasure ? Friends ?" Claptrap asked, his tone as curious as a robot could be.

"A bit of all i guess." I chuckled glancing around at the harsh landscape.

"Oh, you'll find your place. Or die trying ! But let's stay positive. Pandora has a lot to offer if you don't mind a bit of danger. Bandits, skags, and rakks, oh my ! But don't worry, with me you'll be just fine !" Claptrap said cheerfully.

Suddenly, I heard the rumble of an engine. A bus appeared on the horizon, kicking up dust as it approached.

The bus screeched to a halt in front of the stop, and the door creaked open.

One by one, the Vault Hunters stepped off the bus. Roland, stoic and serious, scanned the area with a soldier's vigilance.

Lilith, a beauty to behold looked at me and Claptrap.

Mordecai, carrying his sniper on his back while Bloodwing rested on his shoulder.

And then there was Brick, *as himself.* A mountain of muscle.

Claptrap wheeled forward. "Welcome, to Fyrestone ! i am CL4P-TP, you may call me by my locally designated name, Claptrap."

Roland raised an eyebrow. "And who's this ?" he asked, nodding toward me.

"My name is Dylan, i'm a new friend of Claptrap." I replied calmly with a smile.

Claptrap was overjoyed by what i said and started crying "A... a friend ? Of me ?" He paused, his voice quivering. "I have a friend ?! This is the happiest day of my life !" He began to emit what sounded like digital sobs, his metal frame vibrating with emotion.

Lilith smiled ignoring Claptrap's antics while i laughed at it. "Nice to meet you, Dylan."

Mordecai gave me a nod, still not saying much. Brick, on the other hand, gave me a hearty slap on the back that surprisingly didn't make me move much. "You look like you can fight !"

"Follow me, friends ! Fyrestone is just a short walk away. You'll love it there !" Claptrap led the way, his cheerful voice guiding us down the road as he sang "I have a friend. I have a friend."

"So, Dylan,..." Lilith said, falling into step beside me, "What's your story ? How'd you end up here on Pandora ?"

"It's a long story," I replied, since i'm sure they won't believe me if i told them "Let's just say I needed a fresh start."

Lilith nodded "Same thing for us."

We continued walking, in the distance, I could see the outline of Fyrestone. It looked even more rundown and desolate in person than it was in the game.

As we avanced, Claptrap began his usual spiel, explaining the ins and outs of the area. "Here we are, Fyrestone! Home sweet home! Make yourselves comfortable, everyone!"

But the moment was short-lived. Suddenly, gunfire erupted from all around us. Bandits, screaming and hollering, charged into Fyrestone.

"Bandits !" Roland shouted "Everyone, get ready !"

I saw a bandit aiming with a rifle in my direction. But I didn't feel fear, maybe because of my abilities, instead i felt anger and excitement, Without thinking, I raised my pistol and fired. But because i'm not skilled enough, the shot hit the bandit in the shoulder, it caused him to drop his weapon and stagger back. I took aim again and fired, this time hitting him in the throat. He fell to the ground, coughing blood.

"Nice shot !" Lilith called out as we started fighting against the bandits.

Roland drew his rifle and started picking off bandits with precision. Lilith teleported in a flash of blue light, reappearing behind a group of attackers and taking them out with a flurry of punches and kicks. Mordecai found a perch and began sniping, his shots clean and deadly.

Brick let out a roar as he threw a bandit through a nearby wall. "Is that all you've got ?" he taunted, daring the remaining bandits to come closer.

Claptrap was frantically trying to stay out of the line of fire.

"We need to push them back !" Roland said "Everyone, move forward !"

I saw a bandit sneaking up on Roland and aimed carefully. I squeezed the trigger, and the bullet struck the bandit in the leg, causing him to collapse. Roland finished him off with a quick shot.

"Good timing, Dylan," Roland said, nodding in approval.

I became more and more skilled with each shot fired.

I began to shoot faster and with more precision, which was good for me because i started to run out of ammo, so to keep bullet i started fighting with my fist and crushed a bandits head with an hammer blow.

Even if i did 3 years of boxing in my past life i never saw that much blood, but instead of being nauseous like i would usually be when seeing blood, which is the reason i stopped boxing. I felt more excited, almost like a predator honing in on its prey.

A bandit lunged at me with a knife, and I instinctively blocked his attack, grabbed his wrist, and twisted, causing him to drop the knife. With a quick, powerful punch, I sent him sprawling to the ground.

Lilith teleported next to me, her eyes glowing with energy. "You're doing great, Dylan. Keep it up !"

Brick charged forward like a human bulldozer. He smashed through the remaining bandits.

Roland and I moved forward, scanning the area for any hidden threats. I could hear Claptrap behind us, still chattering nervously.

"Great job, everyone!" Claptrap called out "I think that's the last of them. Fyrestone is safe once again, thanks to us !"

"Don't get too comfortable there could be more on the way." Roland warned us.

Then we started looting their equipment, i found an ECHO, it looked a lot like in the game (kind of like a Gameboy but much bigger).

I started to go through it and to be frank it's HUD is like a PSVita, without the games of course. I didn't took it has it didn't give access to the ECHOnet so i will have to buy one, maybe Dr. Zed has one i could use.

"Attention citizens of Fyrestone ! There is no cause for alarm. The new visitors resolved the problem !" Claptrap announced out loud.

"Well shout. I thought i was a goner that time ! Damn bandits won't leave us alone. Had to lock the place up tight, i'll let you in...Come on. Dammit ! Blasted circuits are on the fritz again. Give it a go from the switch out there, would ya ?" Said a familiar voice i recognized as Dr. Zed.

We turned on the switch and it opened a garage door, Dr. Zed was behind it.

"Thanks for openin' her up again. Name's Zed. They still call me *doctor* even though they don't let me cut on folks anymore since i lost my license, so now i keep the med vendor 'round here up and running'. From the vendor you can bumy all the meds you could even want from a real doc... Thankfully without a *The vault is a myth, you'll get yourself killed* lecture."

[That's the end of this chapter. It's just a test/demo of what i want to do to know if i like writting this fic and if i will continue it or not.

Anyway it was just a try and if you and i like it i will continue it]
