I was able to recover after a while of moving. Of course, it was assisted movement but I am making progress. I also have learned a lot about myself. I am indeed a reincarnation of some sort. I won’t say I actually reincarnated but it feels like it. I wasn’t birthed into this world, I just traveled here. I guess I would call that a traveler of some kind.
I also started to remember a bit more about my name and how I got into a medical building. Well, I mean this body. How it got into a medical building. My name is Apparently Hastor. The last name I am not sure, but my first name is Hastor. Maybe I don’t even have a last name, but I do know of a name. I got into the building because of a training accident. Apparently, for actual training, we get to use actual firearms.
In this world, firearms are strong but weaker than in my previous world. For gun lovers, a 9mm parabellum is only as strong as a 32acp round. 5.56x45 is only as strong as an Actual beefier .22lr round. To get into consistent 1 shot kills you need to get into a 7.62Nato cartridge. Except if you have a skill or extra skill but I don’t know too much about skills in general. The world still uses firearms as its weapons of choice. At least that is what I read in a book recently.
What is even stronger than guns in this world is actual missiles and artillery. Those do the damage you would expect. The only capable arm that does a lot of damage most people can use is melee weapons. Apparently, melee weapons are like guns back in my world. They kill and tear through armor like nothing. I even read about things like Dimension destroyers and Deityarms. Those are the cream of the crop in melee weapons.

Even so, a massed produce sword can still kill people. Kill people easier than a human. As a man who never was in a war except when volunteering that bugs me. In the world where I came from Firearms was a God-given right. Meaning anyone had the power to protect themselves with proper defensive weapons. The weapons just so happen to be guns. And Guns back in my world will end a person almost instantly. Or at least cripple them for life.
In this world, the best weapon is a sword. Something that was inferior in my past world. It’s going to be a while before I get used to the power difference. I tried caring a sword back in my previous world. It’s called a Gunto. It’s a Japanese military sword. It got my one Asian friend to smile. The team leader forced me to leave it back at base. The only time I could really bring it is when I was a point man.
It was just very let’s just say inconvenient to bring around a two-pound metal melee weapon. I’d did look badass wearing the weapon though. I even got a kill with it. Well, it was an ambush of a lonely soldier but I did get a kill with it. So it wasn’t a useless armament but I guess most would consider it useless. I mean a kill is a kill but I remember hearing a story about a ranger killing a terrorist with an MRE spoon.
Haven’t heard a story like that in this world. That’s because books are uncommon in this world. Not because the paper used to make boos is hard to come by. It is because even with precise artillery. Missiles with computers. So on and so on. Reading and writing aren’t very common on a high level. People in the world’s average reading and writing level is about the fourth grade.
So getting a book like I have been reading is very hard. The only way to get a higher education is to pay big money or wait till you are sixteen and join the military. Which is what Hastor did. He is seventeen and a first-class private in the army.
