A chaotic era, enter the Hero

I would say my life wasn't that interesting. Always going with the flow, doing what you are supposed to do, living a stable and ordinary life. When I joined the army, it was mostly due to my parents nagging. They thought it would be a good thing to show off to others as I didn't have other talents to boast of. Typical Asian stuff.

So when I returned after a year having lost both my legs in an explosion at Africa, They were disappointed would be sugarcoating it. They couldn't throw me out, so I found myself in a small apartment with a little amount of monthly allowance while they lived with my other siblings.

I wasn't angry, I stopped feeling anything a while ago, I prefer the virtual world more than this twisted reality. So I drowned myself in games, animes and other stuff. I was quite good at strategy and war games. So much so, I became number 1 player in Total War Three Kingdoms online.

I always thought I was born in the wrong era. I would much prefer swords and spears than guns. I even practiced with swords and bows while I was in the army and I was pretty good at it. I never realized I would have to use those skills someday to survive.

It was an uneventful day. I was playing Total War as usual when a storm started. I paid no attention to it as my headphones blocked the sound but soon with a loud crack, lightning struck my humble abode which tore through the roof and struck the still ignorant me.

I cried out in pain but it was no use. My body refused to move as I was feeling my life fade away from me. My last thoughts were, "damn! I wish I could have lived a more satisfying life. I haven't even finished the Kingdom manga yet! I really wanted to see till the end of the conquest. "

Then all of a sudden, I found myself gasping for breath as I pushed the heavy thing that was on top of me away to catch a breath. As I did so, my eyes laid on the thing that was on top of me.

It was actually the dead body of a young woman who had a hole through her chest. I panicked and tried to move away quickly but then I took a look around the surroundings. I was alive and well but not in my own body.

Judging by the looks, I was about 11-12 years old. There were bodies everywhere around me and all of them were dead. I saw a man about 30 years old lying next to the woman who was on top of me. His face still had anguish and hopelessness and his hands grasped the woman's hand.

Suddenly a wave of memories assaulted me as I screamed with all my strength, blood was pouring out of my eyes and I felt my head would explode. Each moment felt like days where lived a different life, laughing and crying, feeling love and warmth, yet I also learned of pain and despair. It took me a few minutes to calm down.

That man and woman were my parents who were killed by Wei soldiers when they attacked a Qin village. My parents tried to hide me but the soldiers found out. They sacrificed themselves to protect the owner of this body.

It was really ironic. My past life, my parents didn't give a rat's ass about me. But in this life, my parents who loved me more than their lives are dead, died protecting me. Fate must be playing a cruel trick on me.

While I was wondering what brought me here, judging by the clothes and the memory, I have gone back more than 2000 years into the past.

My name is Xiang Long, or Kou Ryu. The year was beginning of 260 BCE, 14 years before the reign of Qin shi huang Ying Zheng, or Ei Sei.

The battle of Changping was this year and Qin great General Bai Qi or Hakuki will fall out with the king next year and die the year after. It seems Wei took the chance to damage Qin and take some revenge while Qin is resting after Changping.

They left after killing everyone in my village and I was the lone survivor. Not a start I would have expected for my new life. I decided to move a bit further to the nearby pond to wash up and look at myself.

I was about 5 feet 4 inches and have a semi muscular build. I had spiky black hair with deep red eyes, a Fair complexion and a lightning shaped scar around my left eye. As I was admiring myself, Suddenly a screen showed up in front of me with a holographic message.

Ding! assistance system unlocked. System has been bonded with host. The task of the system is to help the host with his new life. Would the host like to open the one time starter gift package?

I was confused as this trope was known to me quite well. However this could lead to something interesting so I still went on ahead and clicked yes.

Ding! one time starter gift opened.

Ding! There is a message for the host. Playing right now : "Hello kid! sorry for killing you accidentally,my bad! To make it up to you, I sent some gifts along with 3 loyal retainers of your choosing from your favourite game, aren't I great!

This is a one time thing as giving too much will take the fun out of your adventure. I have also given a system, but it has no special powers. It will help you with maps,calculations of supplies, weather reports and forming strategies. Consider us even! "

I was pissed would be an understatement. This fucker killed me by mistake, now he won't even give op wishes or anything. The weapons are good, but I have zero soldiers and I'm 12 and standing in my village surrounded by dead people, like friggin Sasuke! If I had a sharingan , it might have reached mangekyou with the amount of negative emotions I'm feeling. Speaking of which, where are my retainers!

Ding! host please choose which generals you want for your army. please note that any generals other than yours will be spread out through the other Kingdoms and host can't recruit them without beating them and their willingness to follow you.

Your Generals will possess their best army units and commanders if host chooses them. Your generals will be loyal to you but they can change if you treat them badly. All generals will retain their personality and traits but it can change with interaction.

So this is a tricky situation. The 3 I'll pick must be absolutely best as dealing with other generals might be dangerous.

The list of available generals

Lu Bu

Guan Yu

Zhang Fei

Zhao Yun

Dian Wei

Xu Chu

Zhang Liao

Taishi Ci

Sun Ce

Ma Chao

Huang Zhong

Zhuge Liang

Sima Yi

Guo Jia

Zhou Yu

Please choose 1 strategist and 2 generals.

Okay, I gotta think it through. Since they will possess their actual personality and traits, Sima Yi is out of the question. Zhou Yu too. I like Guo Jia but if he's sick and drunk like original, it won't be good. So good old Kongming it is.

As for Generals, Zhao Yun would be my first pick as his white horse archers would be great for my plans and his loyalty is unquestionable. I am stuck between Zhang Liao and Guan Yu for my second pick as both are good.

But I decided to go with Zhang Liao as he will have the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry and the formation breakers of Gao Shun.

I need a good trainer for my army and the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Liao would be perfect against Wei's flatlands.

I may not have known my parents, but they died protecting their son, who's body I'm using. So might as well go revenge mode, I hope I don't become like Sasuke though. Damn, it's like the dude who sent me here intentionally did this. My eyes are even red !

My musings broke as with a golden flash, 3 figures stood in front of me. Behind them were thousands of people lining up perfectly. 3 of them kneeled in front of me and spoke,"we pledge our lives to master's great cause." following them, all the soldiers kneeled down as well and spoke the same.

I walked forward confidently to raised them up and said," All of your pledges have been heard by me and I accept your oath. As long you follow me, I'll make sure that all of your names will be written down in history and people will tell our stories for thousands of years to come."

With an earth shattering cheer they greeted me as I commanded them to march towards the northern mountains where I shall start my legend.

Ding! subordinates gained

Zhao Yun

Zhang Liao

Zhuge Liang

3500 wolf cavalry

1500 formation breakers

5000 white horse archers

1000 honour guard

Redistributing other remaining Generals to each state. Their background and existence will be engraved in history to give them an advantage and Their strength will gain an increase. Take care host!

That bastard system! Now I have to face a Lu Bu on steroids? Hell no, even with Captain America's strength it will be a tough fight. If we count the other stuff mentioned in Kingdom, this would be bad.

Ding! Distribution finished. These generals will go into the following states

Lu Bu and Ma chao - Zhao

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu - Chu

Huang Zhong and Guo Jia - Han

Sima Yi and Xu Chu - Wei

Guan Yu and Taishi Ci - Qi

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei - Yan

Since the host has been put in the Qin faction, in future, If Qi doesn't wish to fight Qin just as History, Guan Yu and Taishi Ci will move to Zhao and Chu respectively.

In that regard Their strength will be increased further reaching peak level strength of Lu Bu. They will move after the Coalition war unless the host drastically changes history.

Damn it system! You really are messing with me!

With this 11,000 soldiers, I marched towards north as I planned to set up a base at future Jinzhao region which is known as Taigen currently. The area is big, surrounded by mountains as well as having fertile lands. The population is a bit sparse due to the constant attacks from Zhao, Wei and even the Xiongnu barbarians.

The area is a good front line with constant battles and I plan to deliver a nasty surprise to Riboku during the battle of Mayang. I had another motive behind choosing that region which will be known in time. For now, I have to set down a solid foundation for my future plans.
