~Tatsumi POV? ~
I was training my body for the past few years ever since I was reincarnated in this world and would you know it, I was the protagonist of this world.
Akame ga Kill.
I know bad luck, right?
Sigh…
Why did I have to be reincarnated into this world of all places to start with?
When I was born, I was certainly surprised to be reincarnated into this world and as Tatsumi no less.
Which wasn't bad, to say the least, but I trained my ass hard when I knew I was Tatsumi and prepared myself for everything this fucked up world has for me!
I already knew plenty of stuff from my previous world and my other family I was killed when I finally graduated college the day after it was held.
Just when I was happy to finally be free of my working my ass off from all the studying and hours, I put in only for some ass hole with a gun wanted to shoot a school the next day!
Like seriously what the literal fuck was that on about!
Urgh…
Avoiding something like that in the future I plan to make sure I stay alive and live a long fulfilling life free of danger with a few excitements here and there but also steer clear to the plot of the story.
At the very least if I managed to get a girl it would be Esdeath since I do fit all the criteria for her husband's checklist.
But I won't be the one defeated here I want to be the one to live although I may have to join Night Raid for that to happen.
Plus, having Incursio would be helpful if I can kill the damn dragon inside of it sigh…
I surely have a lot on my plate but not impossible to accomplish since that Tyrant always pops up into its form all I need is Murasame in its transformation state and done.
No Tyrant reappearing in the future problem solved.
Controlling my own body functions when I fuse with Incursio?
Just get the Kraken Broth to get my body in a more perfect control for when it happens and figure out from there.
Seeing that I'm 15 years old I wonder when the plot starts for me.
The only indication for when it begins is when I and my friends leave the village to get money for them but attacked by bandits soon separated from our fates.
Still, I have to prepare for my future since I want to live a somewhat peaceful life.
Over the years I train my swordsmanship and my close-quarter combat skills as best as I can with my sparring partners and friends Sayo and Ieyasu.
We are childhood friends in this small village of ours for the longest time.
They were both odd and unique in their own ways we always have been the trio of sorts in our small village.
But I was glad to be friends with them it's a shame I can't do much when the evitable happens to them as much as I want to save them…
I know I'm not strong enough to make that happen and even if I did try to follow them it would Ieyasu undoing that his sense of traveling could only be matched to Zoro.
But my days with the villagers were good at least I managed to learn a few key important skills needed to live in this world cooking, swordsmanship, blacksmithing, CQC, and knowledge of this world.
The basic currency that this world uses is Copper, Silver, and Gold coins each having a different set of value it and the dangers of Danger Beasts in the Empire.
I was lucky that Tatsumi learned all of his knowledge from the village elder and swordsmanship training from an ex-empire soldier.
Shaking my head away of those thoughts I was busy with my own kind of problem would be my growth is beginning to slow down even if I train myself to the extreme with boulders on my body weighting me down.
Narrowing my eyes at this I knew I can't grow strong this way for long I need a way to get stronger so that I can become strong enough that my own world knows it's a bad idea to even face me and live a good life.
Currently as I was training in my private area of the forest, I managed to hear Sayo calling for me in a distance from the echo's, "Tatsumi!! Come home already it's time for lunch it's our time to cook for the week!"
Sigh…
Stopping my training I get myself dressed in my shirt and grabbed my sheathe that holds my short sword as I jog back to Sayo voice originated from.
Thinking about my time here I also learn that I shouldn't hesitate to kill people it has happen before in the past honestly.
When someone raided our village say about 3 years ago, I was already training myself how to handle my swordsmanship under the ex-empire soldier at a young age and when I killed my first human, I had to admit it was scary.
But I knew it was needed in this world to have a strong will since this place will mind fuck you or scar you for life or rape you or all at once if I wasn't prepared for what it was ahead although it did get me to be a bit lonely since the rest of the kids were afraid of me.
To kill at such a young age if Akame ga Kill Zero was a thing in my time I was sure fire missed pick to be recruited to be in Gozuki team.
Although it did score me some more brownie points with my instructor as he was now giving me some techniques of using the Imperial Fist fighting style so that surprised me.
When I asked at the time if he was a disciple of that place he agreed with a nod and was proud of me fighting against those invaders at the time and thought I could use some CQC using those skills.
The Imperial Fist fighting style revolves around the use of controlling the human body to a degree under a harsh training regimen and harsher concentration to accomplish the goal as well.
It was like One Piece Six Powers of sorts but lower tier than that technique only controlling the body to an extent but only by drinking the Kraken Broth can the fighting style truly shine.
So yeah, I have my fighting style down but only about useful for fighting in CQC but I digress I finally got to Sayo as she was wearing her clothing as she puffs her face, "Tatsumi you are late again you were supposed to help me cook our meals today."
Expressing a wry smile as I was scratching the back of my head I responded to her, "Ha ha ha… sorry about that Sayo I was busy training again you know how it is to me."
Sayo just releases a sigh as she pinches her fingers at my ear as she was dragging me around to the house we all lived in as she says to me, "Sigh… seriously Tatsumi I know that you are a hard worker at times especially in your training but sometimes I worry that you may overdue it at times."
Shaking my head to her we both finally reached the house with Ieyasu waiting getting irritated at me as Sayo and me begin cooking the food we had fortunately I already have learned cooking in my past life so it was just a matter of when I was going to cook again.
But with that we cooked the food and began to eat and peace as we go on about what should we do in the future and all of that.
Sayo and Ieyasu both discussed about how we are going to save our village while I agree in spirit, I don't think it would be possible unless we get money first.
And even getting a job from the Empire Capital police was out of the question since they don't exactly treat outsiders friendly.
That and the great depression were suffering as well.
Although after we were done eating, we all left to our rooms as we did some late-night exercise to lose some weight.
I finally managed to get inside my room as I think to myself in silence, 'Another day and another survival, man it has been 15 years since I was reborn in this world as Tatsumi and since then I was trying to learn everything and train to the best of my ability to survive this world I was fortunate that he was able to train in his early life or I might have been screwed.'
But still I wish I still had a cheat but then again, my future knowledge is my greatest strength to have as well as hard work.
As I was thinking of this, I soon see a screen pop up that I look with a raised eyebrow.
[Do you accept to join the Dimensional Chat Group?]
[Y/N]
Seeing this I knew from other fanfics what this was and since I'm in need of some power ups and probably some new friends I could benefit from this nicely so without any problems I pressed the yes button to see what happens next.
However, I soon regrated my decision from the name I was given.
[The Dimensional Group Chat has been created, congratulations for the "EsdeathBitch" to become the group owner.]
I hate this already.
My rage can't be measured for this existing…
