"Hm…."
I looked at the hologram in front of me. I slowly examined my body to the last nook, with my expression remaining serious throughout the process.
For the most part, I looked no different from usual. My hair was black, and my facial features were all exactly as I remembered them. I was just another guy, not that incredibly handsome nor particularly ugly. To be honest, my eyes were a bit sharp, so sometimes, people misunderstood them.
My height and build both fell within the norm as well. But there was something abnormal about me. For some odd reason, I could see something in my neck. It was just like artificial skin. There was something about it… Something inside those artificial skin. It was something called Chip inside me.
Just like I activated the thing inside me…
I could see something as my eyes changed to clear blue eyes. There were many holograms with a lot of information that made me smile a bit.

"Really this is like a game status…." I couldn't help mumbling to myself. This was the power I got after those experiments.
What astonished me the most about this world was that it was very similar to Arknight but at the same time different from what I knew. Rather than fighting each other, in this world, we face a real crisis. An invasion from another being called Sirens. That made me wonder since Sirens was an enemy in the game Azur Lane, a different game than arknight. Yup, this world could be a fusion between Azur Lane and Arknight.
This made me remember what happened one year ago when suddenly, I had regained the memories of my previous life.
I was just your typical college student majoring in design, who watched anime, read manga and played some games. The last thing I remembered was playing gacha games on the bus that went to my university.
It was a gacha game with a tower defence mechanic called Arknight. It was such fortunate for me since I got Kal'tsit and Skalter in just 50 pulls. It must be the luckiest I got in the limited banner since I failed to get W, Wendy, Dusk, and Rosmontis.
[ I got Mudrock and Nian in Standard pool… ]
But to think that not long after that, I heard a scream and a loud noise before my body threw around and my consciousness became blank.
So why did I talk about that?
Since the world I live in, the same name as the world Arknight… This world was called Terra, and there was a beautiful woman with short white hair and cat-eared. Her attire was the same as I knew about her. A doctor coat and short green tunic, she was no other than a leader of Rhodes Island named Kal'tsit.
When I realized that fact, I could feel emotions of surprise and no wonder something like that happened to me.
Yeah, there was another reason that may be why I regained my previous life memories.
Before I got my memories, I was just an average human in some noble house called Rosenberg. I didn't have any ability called art, but someone kidnapped me and put something inside me.
After that, I got my memories from my previous life.
"Hm… you wake up?" Kal'tsit said as she put some paper.
"Um… so what actually happened to me?" I asked her.
"Hm… I wonder. I think they put in some artificial implants in your brain, but this is so weird that you don't get infected at all. So I wonder how they can do something like that." She explained what had happened to me.
"Hahaha, I wonder." I wondered what this woman thought about me, but she looked more trustworthy than another person. "So what will happen to me?"
"Well, your family trusts us to take care of you." Kal'tsit answered my question.
"It's sound. They abandoned me in this place. So where am I right now?"
"We are Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Inc. A pharmaceutical company that working on medical solutions for countries, organizations and individuals infected with Oripathy." She explained it to me again. It was the same as in the game.
"What will Rhodes Island do to me?" I asked her as I stared at her.
"Hm… I think it will be good if we have some tests for you."
"Test?"
"Yes, we want to know if you can do Arts and…. Will you be infected or not? But, if you don't want it. We will monitor you until we know that you are not infected even after you get artificial implants."
"Arts… I think I will do it."
"Really?" Kal'tsit sounded surprised.
"Yeah, since I experienced being kidnapped and there will be some danger that people want me. It's better to be able to fight."
Kal'tsit blinked, but from her expression, she may be pretty happy with my answer.
"Well, that's good to hear that. We need to text your originium arts and skills. Welcome to Rhodes Island, Razius."
As far as I can remember, this world is different from what I knew. That's why if I had a chance to become strong in this dangerous world. I wanted to… rather than become a burden one.
And after one year, I trained and became one of the operators in Rhodes Island. This would be the first mission I ever had… with my own squad.
That's why in front of me, there was an animal-eared girl with a cute face. Bright purple bit pinkish eyes that looked at me with a curious face. She has a small body feature, but she had a giant shield that was enough to cover her body in her left hand and in another hand, she had a sharp side-handle baton model. On her forehead, there was a big goggle. Her hair was a bit long with a cream colour that was tied with a black ribbon.
"What are you doing, Captain?" She asked me.
When I saw her, I could get information about her from Chip.

"I'm just a bit nervous… This is my first mission after all." I told her my honest feelings. It has been one year since I woke up in this world. To think I needed to fight to survive was ridiculous for someone who had never been in a fight at all. Honestly, I spent my life reading manga, watching anime, and playing games in my previous life. And the last thing I remembered from my previous life was I played arknight on the bus. Before I heard a scream and loud crash… And woke up in this bizarre world.
"Hehe, it's fine. Captain, I'll protect all of us!" Merry told me. No, she said to the others too. There were three other people inside the ships.

These last four people have initially been from one group before Operations Reserve Team A1 with Fang as their leader but in this world. It looked like this would be my team as I was their captain. Not only that, the defender had changed from Beagle to Cardigan. Our mission this time was to take some resources in the land that was still occupied by Sirens. So we expected to fight some monsters in that place.
"Yes, leave it to me as well. Captain." Fang also tried to have insurance for me. As for others, I didn't particularly look like they enjoyed their time on the ship. Kross sleeps with such a bizarre posture. While Hibiscus had some argument with Lava.
"Ahaha… You have a bit of a peculiar group. Huh…"
I heard someone talk to me. It was someone not from my group but a young woman sent to guard this ship. She was a pretty tall woman with long blue hair that her bangs long enough to close her left eye.
Her name was Trento which was different from the other girl that came from Arknight. She was from Azur Lane. Since in this world, Terra could say an alternative world of Earth. The maps looked the same, but there were several differences. And the Rhodes Island in this world originated in Sardegna Island that was nearby Italica in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
"Ah, thanks for guarding us." I thanked her.
"It's fine. Just be safe, I will help you if you look in danger." Trento told me. She was a heavy cruise after all, and our mission was still quite close to the sea. So she could help us with the main gun.
"Okay, Op reserve team A1, we take off." I said to the team.
"Wohooo! It's our turn now, Captain!" Merry or Cardigan responded with such enthusiastic
"Yes, Captain! Please leave healing to me." Hibiscus said.
"Hah… I'm still sleepy." Kroos looked very sluggish.
"Well, I hope, nobody messes up." Lava was pretty blunt with her opinion.
"Team! Check your gear before departing!" Fang gave advice to the group.
Well, it looked like this team still needed time to get familiar with each other. Maybe…
Hope you like it.
I post one chapter per 2 days... Maybe.
