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

The Mercenary Association was a giant entity, considered the most powerful organization made up of mostly commoners. Few nobles entered their ranks, as it was considered below their status. While that did not mean nobles never hunted, they simply had their own privileged organization.

Still, the top brass of the Mercenary Association was made up of members of all three powers, similar to the protection of churches. The reason for that was nothing more than to keep the commoners under control. Yes, a single noble could easily defeat multiple commoners, but if dozens of experienced fifth-step mercenaries engage a noble, then they would be able to put up a fight.

Dagger's Rock Island was small, so the Mercenary Association's branch mainly consisted of local commoners and lacked fluctuation of foreign mercenaries like in more populous locations. This did not only mean that there were fewer fifth-step warriors but also that their skills were lacking.
