Chapter One: Dying In The Battlefield

The battle was about to start, this was going to be a hard battle because we were fighting in a snowy region but this was a good thing my men most of my men were born in the snow and they were from the islands, our numbers were close and I commanded the first army as the Chief General of the Korlten Empire.

My title was the strongest man in the world, I gained this title when I was only 25 and held it for 55 years, I might have been too old to battle but I was the strongest man in the world or so I thought.

Their messenger arrived, their general wanted a leader duel a leader duel was used to lower the casualties for the both army, if their leader lost the duel and died the whole army would surrender but even losing was a honourable act.

I refused the leader duel because I didn't know the enemy leader I might have been a hot headed man but I knew they would pull a trick like putting a random private as a general and he would break the duel and order his so called soldier to shoot at me after that they would just execute him, they would lose nothing, just a random private.

The battle was starting I was in left side and I heard the reports that their general was in the right side and after five minutes another report came in saying the left side was shattered and the left side commander was dead.

I had to admit I was quite impressed because left side was full of heavy soldiers, my warrior blood was heating up and I started to move the middle because the enemy left side was weakened.

"THE COMMANDER IS DEAD RETREAT TO THE CHIEF GENERAL" I heard this when I arrived at the middle their morale was shattered and they were retreating to the left side but if they retreated from left they would just get chased by the horses I needed to prevent them from retreating.

I had an idea, I was going to use the horn unit as an announcer, this was an old tradition when a general arrived at the scene, they would use their personal song to notify the enemy and boost the morale.

I found the horn unit they were almost retreating and I yelled "GET YOUR ARSES HERE AND SING MY SONG" Hearing me their morale was boosted to the point, they would attack the enemy with the horns.

They started to use the horns and drums, the flag unit was already killed in the right side and because of this every soldier started to attack the right side to get the flag and the second part of the song was here.

"WE HAVE THE LEGENDARY COMMANDER WHAT DO YOU HAVE" Every soldier started to chant this "WE ARE KORLTS WE ARE UNDEAD WE ARE UNDIVIDED AND WE ARE YOUR DEATH" This had a huge effect on the enemy because their left side started to retreat and their middle side was about to retreat but something was wrong with the right side of the enemy because they had their general there.

Soon their middle side retreated and we encircled their right side with their general in it, we outmatched them one to five but their morale was still at the top and they made a circle to defend each other, this was the best tactic they would use.

*We already won but still if I die here my army would be shattered and they would easily win better stand back*

I was at the hill with the archer units, I wasn't  going to die and we werent going to lose but then I saw a crack in the encirclement, this was a small thing only a few soldier would pass through it but they would die anyways so I didn't care about it until their general made a run for it.

I wasn't surprised, their general was a coward running from death but cowardice was something that every human had and I didn't blame anyone because of it, they fought well and at some point I thought I would lose and their general deserved it so I nodded my head agreeing with myself.

But something was wrong their general wasn't running, their general was coming at me alone this was madness but this guy was smart and he knew my death would win him the battle but half way through his horse died and he got encircled for a second I worried about it because he was getting close.

The encirclement didn't have any cracks on it but he created a crack and started running to me with his wind spells boosting his speed he didn't just run at me he killed everyone standing on his way, I knew this guy wasn't going to die easily and he was only a speed type of fighter and I was a powerful balance type he had no chance against me or so I thought.

Our eyes met and I ordered the soldiers to stand down we were going to have a duel and his black armour was so thick that I couldn't see anything, just a man wearing a black armour or a really flat woman wearing a black armour.

His blade moved so fast that none of my soldiers could see it but I was prepared for it and blocked it with my sword but my sword was broken and I fell down because of the impact my old body couldn't handle such a powerful hit. 

I felt weak and I felt old I decided, I was going to leave the military after this fight and live peacefully and so I stood up but when I stood up I felt a pain on my stomach at the first second I thought it was nothing, but then I noticed the two green eyes looking at me through heavy black armour and I thought I was stabbed so I looked at my stomach there was blood but no sword and I felt a sharp pain on my heart the sword was there and I held it with my last energy and uttered this while coughing up blood.

"What is your name" He pulled the sword after I said this and I fell down he looked at me with his green eyes again.

"Strongest man in the world, you are the weakest one here in this battle" His voice was echoing because of his black helmet a young voice for a second I thought it was a female voice but it was a young male voice.

But this didnt matter while I was lying down on the ground I wondered why he said those words and then I noticed I didn't kill anyone during the fight and I fought on the front lines.

Yeah I was an old man.

And I died there.

[Your Race Changed To Soul]

I saw my body lying on the ground it didn't move my soldiers were trembling with fear against this general and I noticed the other souls going up to the light this was death and I knew it. 

I wanted to go there too but I wasn't going to die like this.

I saw him checking out his new title and I picked up my old broken sword and I threw it at him it pierced his armour and his right lung I aimed for his heart but this was something too.

He turned at me with a sword on his right back "Impressing that's it ?" The voice was so far away I couldn't hear anything but I had one more trick in the book.

"Fire B-Burst" This was a spell that I used during my youth, the strongest fire spell in the world, it would even burn a dragon, his armour lit up like a fireball and he looked like he was in pain.

*Got you*

But then I noticed that wasn't pain, it was a smile under his helmet "Unlucky man" I noticed his armour was made from black dragon skin and that was the reason he was smiling and he threw his sword at me and...

"Fire Burst"

*The Irony...*

I could feel my bones burning after he casted the spell and that is how I died again...
