Chapter 1:War-Lock'ed

1914

It all began after a certain archduke was assassinated.

Certain powers of different nobles he had connections with decided to avenge him.

Slowly knowing that they only wanted to steal away his assets and properties.

The archduke's family got enraged and tried to rebel by using their own private military powers to end the leeches.

...

A silent ambush lead by numbers of assassins began in the archduke's main estate.

But thankfully,the family set up everything and they won.

...

The news and the result of the ambush quickly got to the prime minister.

He ensured the family's safety by bringing in a few numbers of noble knights.

...

The word also got to the main culprit who's a duke with a huge political power and connections.

He hired over a thousand of soldiers to invade the archduke's main estate.

The archduke owns half a continent in the east,

seventeen estates,forty seven billion net worth,and thirteen cruise ships.

Owning something like those is really blinding.

But is it really?

The duke is really greedy isn't he?

Apparently,the duke is also wealthy.

But his current wealth doesn't quench his thirst for money.

1915

A war began.

...

I was one of the noble knights the prime minister assigned to protect the archduke's main estate.

Knowing the fact that I'm already dead,for a mere vanguard like me,it was expected.

1916

My soul is watching from afar.

Seeing how many enemy soldiers are there,it was impossible to win.

Or so I thought,the family isn't that dumb.

They already fled,and knowing they have many connections.

Forces of the other nobles four times the number of the duke's force came to rescue the unclaimed land.

The war continued and two years later.

Of course the one with the higher quantity of soldiers won.

"The Alliance"

1918

The peace is slowly coming and enveloping the lands.

1919

Oh what a sight to see!

They're all smiling and laughing!

The people,I mean.

Weird isn't it? It's just a year later after the war ended.

What's weirder is why is my soul still not descending or ascending?

1920

It's nine years later after the war started,huh.

I know I'm already dead,but why does it feel like...

Oh sh*t,am I drowning?

I opened my eyes and saw...

Nothing! Absolutely nothing.

I can feel my whole body as if I'm below the ocean.

It's really warm.

Suddenly,the top of my head feels cold as if I'm being pulled out of a womb.

It's all true,I'm an infant.

I can't remember anything but my instincts are all intact.

Retracing my memories,I believe I died and,

I've been reborn.

I finally got my wish granted after getting shot twice in the cerebellum and thrice in the chest.

1930

I'm nine years old now. We decided to go to a certain restaurant to celebrate my birthday.

We were so happy.

1931

I'm ten now,I need to go to school.

But it's far away overseas.

I convinced my parents that I'll be alright there.

Even so,they hired a personal guard for me.

The guard is looking at me with so much pity,and when we arrive.

You guessed it,yeah I'm kidnapped.

He tied me up to a pillar inside an abandoned manor and started torturing me,asking me stupidly where's the key to the safe of my room.

That safe got nothing but p*rn novels I wrote.

This guy must be thinking that safe got tons of valuable stuff.

Oh! If he's thinking like that,he's not completely wrong.

My screams got the whole city alarmed.

Military police officers came and arrested the bas*ard.

I was rescued after fifty three lady like screams.

Then an officer offered me if I'd like to go to self defense school.

Of course I accepted that offer.

It's free.

After the investigation,I finally got to the dorms.

I started my school life there.

1932

I received tons of letters from my parents asking if I'm okay.

1933

They received my replies that contains stuff like;I'm okay,then followed by happy events and stuff

1938

I graduated as an engineer and I also finished as top place in my self defense school.

I decided to pay a five year visit in my homeland

to celebrate my graduate.

They're happy crying from my return.

They hugged me so tightly while asking me did I receive their letters.

We celebrated all year like our wealth is infinite.

Well...

It is infinite for me.

I am the firstborn of the archduke who owns half of the continent.

And billions of net worth.

...

A year has passed

1939

Surprise!

For your birthday present.

*drum rolls

It's another war!

I'm eighteen years old now.

At my age, I'll be able to get a permanent job,after that,I'll get myself a wife,then she'll ask me for kids. That'll make a family,and finally.

Rest In Peace.

My ***..

...

This early morning,I heard a chain of loud bangs and certain people yelling that they need people to go to the battlefield and die?

I suppose so.

The military are lacking soldiers and are hiring people who knows how to hold rifles or knives.

If I stay here and watch the war end,I'll die.

And if I go to the battlefield,I'll also die.

it's fifty fifty now.

Knowing that I'll die either way.

I decided to hold a rifle.

This is a suicidal story for a guy like me.
