{NOTE: This fanfic is like Overlord when focusing on different characters, this does not focus on the Mc. foley and instead mostly Nazarick. Still he do Solo and stuff but it mostly show all characters instead of just Mc. This has many more character than the original probably 10+ new ones and 400+ background ones which like 99% won't get much time to be shown lmao}
{Mc is the cover picture well in Yggdrasil and New World}
{Also chapters are kinda boring to different people until New World so you can just skip to there but would read if you want foundation before reading.}
My name is Tyler. I am a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment in the U.S. Army. I had lived a difficult life. I was now reaching my mid-thirties. I'll be 35 in a few months. I was still following orders, mainly special and joint operations. I enlisted in the Army at age 18, immediately after I graduated High School.
My father, Elijah, and mother, Christine, were the perfect parents, always caring for and encouraging me. Or perhaps that's how I want to remember them. Regardless, I loved them very much. I had lived like this until that fateful day where they died and I was too weak to save them.
After enlisting in the Army, I quickly showed my talents and was put in special training. After completing it, I flew through the ranks and ended up in the 75th Ranger Regiment at the age of 28. I have been in the 75th Regiment for 6 years now, and I'm close to a promotion.
My frame was in between lean and bulky, with clearly defined muscles. I was around 6'1, and over the years, my originally blonde hair gradually darkened. My body was riddled with scars, with one extending from right below my left eye all the way to my lips. It coincidentally touched neither my eye nor my lip.
Suddenly, while thinking about my life, I heard a loud crash near the headquarters in America, breaking me out of my thoughts. I was in an office with paper messily stacked together in many piles around the room and windows placed above so I could see outside and get some sunlight. I ran over and saw many soldiers running on the land towards us.
"Fuck these Germans!" I spat while I grabbed a pistol under my desk. I went to the armory near me and got an M839, which was similar to an M16 but far more advanced, and some bullet-proof armor. These Germans were truly annoying. We were currently in the year 2032, fighting a war with the Germans, since resources were growing scarce.
It was regrettable, but when resources began diminishing, conflicts began breaking out, eventually evolving into the war that is happening now; there are three main sides: Great Germany, the Western Alliance, and the Eastern Empire. Great Germany is incredibly advanced in technology but has very few resources, and the Western Alliance has better technology than the Easter Empire, but fewer resources and people. The number of people in Great Germany is also the least.
{Author's note: This is an alternate timeline of Earth. In this timeline, Germany was suppressed and wasn't allowed to join NATO. When resources began to run out, they started conquering land for more resources. Western Alliance = Canada, North America, Japan, South America, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England. Eastern Empire = most of Asia and the Middle East. Great Germany = most of Europe}
I rushed towards a window facing outside, jumping onto it and putting all my force on a small surface area of it, causing the window to break, and rushed to where I saw the soldiers gathering. I set my gun down on the sandbags, aimed at the enemy soldiers, and started shooting.
There were numerous soldiers, far outnumbering what we have at the headquarters, which was quite unexpected. After all, there are fewer German soldiers, and every one is precious. There were not many soldiers stationed here, because it was protected by several bases that should have blocked any invasion.
I was continuously shooting and reloading, and I ended up killing at least 20 enemies. Unfortunately, I got shot in the hand, making me drop the gun.
'Fuck me... that hurts like a bitch,' I thought. Although I have a high pain tolerance due to my special training, bullets still hurt quite badly. I can tolerate the pain, but I still feel it in full.
I took out my phone to request immediate reinforcements. I would have done it earlier, as they should have already been called, but it was worth a try. No one answered, though I expected such a thing to happen.
Gunshots and explosions reverberated throughout the battlefield. I slammed the phone on the ground in an act of anger, causing its screen to crack. 'Dammit, this day is getting worse and worse,' I thought while heading down the stairs that were near the sandbags. It seems the Germans have already breached inside. I want to fight and kill these bastards that made all of my hard work for naught. When the Army hears about this, the promotion that I was hoping to get will never happen, unless I can somehow achieve great merit and push the Germans back, but that's impossible… there are far too many. I'll just have to help hold them back until reinforcements arrive.' I traveled quite a ways before finding 6 Germans that were killing some soldiers in the hallway. Our headquarters extended both above and below ground, with the underground portion being much larger. 'They're probably here to find or destroy something, or else they wouldn't send so many soldiers,' I thought.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*. I fired the pistol 6 times in quick succession, hitting them all in the head, except for one, who was startled and began turning around. *BANG*. I shot the last German in the head. 'Looks like I'm getting rusty… I would have normally been able to kill all 6 without them having time to react, but I've been slacking off in my training because of my injury that just fully healed a couple days ago. Dammit, the 75th Ranger Regiment is supposed to be a quick response, special operations team, but I was injured and forced to sit in an office.'
There were many German bodies around. They had died due to the Western Alliance soldiers that were in the underground portion of the base.
I went forward to check if any of the Western Alliance soldiers were alive, but it seems that they were all dead. I saw a door ahead and to the left of me, and proceeded to open it, stunned by what I saw… 'What even IS that?!' I thought.
"Is anyone alive? All the Germans in this section are dead!" I said, still looking at the mysterious item. It looked like some kind of stone tablet with runes. Overwhelmed by my curiosity, I walked over and touched the chip. To my astonishment, the tablet quickly glowed a bright blue and returned to its original state as suddenly as it had changed.
Unbeknownst to Tyler, the tablet that he had touched was found inside of a newly discovered, mysterious ruins, and the Germans that found out about this raided the headquarters to attempt to steal the mysterious object. And that's also why...
*BANG*! I was shot in the back. I turned around to see who did it, but I was absolutely shocked when I saw who it was!
"Wh—" *BANG* *BANG*
I fell into a blackness, thinking about my life and death, and wondered, 'Is this where I'll be forever, or do I simply have to wait for reincarnation?' I had fantasized as a teenager that if and when I died I would reincarnate in Overlord. I liked the concept of such an idea. I watched Overlord and fell in love with it, which led me to read the novel, which I also enjoyed.
___POV (Third Person)___
"{World chosen.}" a robotic voice said.
Tyler did not hear the voice. Instead, he continued thinking and fantasizing about his dreams of reincarnation. 'If it were possible to be reborn in the world, I would prefer to be reincarnated in an adult body that has millions of dollars and not relatives or friends, a few years before the game, "YGGDRASIL" releases. That way, I could invest in the game and become the strongest player ever.'{Note: Had to change it from billions to millions because of realistic problems, he earns more in the world but he uses it to help his friends and charity although most was used for his life and game, he still had the decency of a human. I was not smart enough to effectively write billions so I used millions. Sorry but please read on}
{Chosen Background....Manipulating world....Done! Enjoy your new life!}
{Now starting Reincarnation process}
This time, Tyler heard the robotic voice, interrupting his thoughts, before his vision went blank.
