So it’s been a shitty start so far, right? I started out as a Prentice, just your average Knight Candidate waiting for my Investiture so that I could be dubbed a Knight of the Empire, a Knight for my Princess. Of course, fate is never kind.
I have been through so many hardships and misfortunes, so much so that I have even started to doubt my worthiness of living. Who can carry this much burden while he is forced to experience one troublesome circumstance after the other?
I even lost my memories because some jackass aristocratic prick decided to take out his virgin chuuni frustrations out on me. Granted, I did ask for it – literally, but he didn’t have to hit me in the head with a pipe. That shit is not cool. I guess I can personally teach him how it felt. Hehe.
The funny thing is, while I have had a horrible time so far, most of it was spent with people who made living my amnesiac life a little easier and the thing is, while our meetings were brief and our bond developed sporadically and quite honestly, from out of nowhere, my gut tells me that I know these people from somewhere, or some time but I can’t say so for sure right now.
So will I find them in this world and recruit them to my cause? Maybe. Will I kill them should they prove to be my enemy? Yes but that isn’t important right now. I need to focus on consolidating my foothold as Knight so that I may have my say in the Imperial Court and that I need to work on making myself stronger first.
The important thing is that I know I can trust them and if I am to live my life and win this cycle, I’m going to need all of the help I can get.
Speaking of which, Keith and Alphonse. Two different people who share the same body. Right? Wrong. While I was born as Keith and spent some time prior to my death in the previous cycle as Alphonse, it’s safe to say that I have been reborn in this cycle with two distinct memories and experiences and that’s good. I have quite the revenge plotted out for the people who got me in the mess in the first place.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
So are you asking me if I am willing to walk through the path of carnage to save this world? Yes. My end will justify my means. History will probably remember me as a murderer or as a tyrant but if that is what I have to become in order to avert the future Ryner has experienced 499 times, then I will taint my sword with the blood of a million wicked assholes in order to save the lives of a million and one innocent people. That is my justice and that is the troublesome burden that I must carry.
I will win this cycle or I will die trying.
Hello everyone. Alizoned here. We're finally at volume 2 and things are finally looking to take off. I've given you the prologue ahead of time so that you could at least have a feel for the things that are to come for our protagonists. Anyway, thank you for supporting Volume 1 and I hope to have you keep on supporting me for Volume 2. If it wasn't for you, my readers, I would never have continued this series. So thank you for sticking with me.
On another note, I'm thinking of writing a one-shot of a VRMMORPG themed story then maybe see how you guys will react to that. Well, we'll see what the future brings. Alright, thanks for reading!
