Chapter 4 - The First Battle

Erik had been wandering through the forest for hours, trying to get his bearings in this new world. He had encountered a few creatures along the way, but they had been no match for his sword.

As he emerged from the forest, he saw a group of humans gathered around a campfire. They were dressed in similar clothing to Erik's, and they looked up in surprise as he approached.

"Who are you?" one of them asked, eyeing Erik warily.

"I am Erik," he replied. "I am new to this world. Can you tell me where I am?"

The humans looked at each other, exchanging wary glances.

"This is the kingdom of Aragon," one of them said. "But who are you? How did you get here?"

Erik explained how he had been reborn in this world, and the humans listened in amazement.

"You are a reincarnate," one of them said. "We have heard of your kind, but we have never met one before."

The humans introduced themselves as members of a group called the Brotherhood, a band of warriors who had banded together to fight against the monsters that roamed this world. They invited Erik to join them, and he agreed.
