Truthfully speaking, he also wanted to change his clothes into the crappy armour that these dead soldiers were wearing, but the superstition on earth was that wearing a dead man’s clothes brought bad luck.
And due to his brain being wired up to operate like he was still on earth, he chose to keep wearing that ridiculous outfit .
“ The way I look I am sure the moment these savages find me they will feel like killing me on sight “
The original Frederick was brought up of noble teachings, by what he remembered he knew basic swordsmanship, had a decent athletic body, knew how to ride a horse and had some talent in magic . The magic power was not something cliche called mana though, it was known as magicka .
It was a force each human was born with, those who had stamina force over 10 were known to have talent for classes like thief or warrior while those whose magicka was above 13 were considered to have talent in magic. The spells he could currently use were earth blast which was useless if you were not accurate and something called “ The Lords Blessing “ which all it did was enhance your strength for a short duration of time and make you look good while fighting.
“ Typical showoff skill, I am indeed a nobleman “
After 5 years of studying he had only managed to learn these 2 spells which showed you how difficult the path of a mage really was . And this progress was not because Frederick wasn’t talented, on the contrary, there were many others who had not even learned a single spell after 7 years of studying.
He made up his mind to quickly pick up a sword, get on the horse and run away before people come to collect the so called spoils of war .
He wasn’t dumb, he knew how hard to come by iron would be in these lands so he assumed that somebody would come to collect the weapons and shields .
But just as he was about to pick up a sword, the weirdest thing ever happened.
Once he touched the dead person, the corpse armour shield and sword disappeared .
“ MOTHERF, what the? Scared the shit outta me, is this a curse or something? “
Was he being punished by God? Unable to even pick up a sword, forced to perish in this place ?
He tried to reach for another sword and whoosh another dead warrior disappeared .
“ Why do these bastards clutch their swords even in death, just let me have one already “
And another one, and another one, and another one... Randy was a competitive guy, he continued to touch all of those corpses out of anger .

“ If I cant have these swords then nobody will, they can all go and fuck themselves “
He repeated the same action over 300 times, and just as he was about to ‘touch’ the last remaining corpse, a message was somehow sent to his brain .
“ CONDITIONS ARE MET, DO YOU WISH TO ACTIVATE CASTLE DEFENCE ? “
“ Castle Defence ? Thats weird “
He was familiar with that word, it was a mobile game that he and the rest of his army buddies would play when in guard duty or had to stay in base to protect supplies. The game granted you a castle at the start where you could spawn troops and defend it from foreign invaders or attack neighbouring territories .
It was basically one of those games that its advertised as a 3d rpg but when you download it you find out its different from what was advertised yet you still play it because you make effort to download it.
“ Surely it cant be that the game somehow crossed over, haha. just what am I saying? Have I gone insane “
Hearing strange voices had him think he had gone nuts, did he somehow survive the fall and was in a coma or something?
He had read of such cases in the past where people in a coma live in these imaginary dimensions.
The voice was heard again .
“ DO YOU WISH TO ACTIVATE TOWER DEFENCE ? “
Not knowing what to do, he just screamed YES but still nothing happened .
He was feeling like a bitch, had he really gone insane? Was he gonna be like those NPC-s who come after you wearing dirty rags to warn you about the end of the world?
“ THE ZONE MARKED BY USER ITS FOUND TO BE DANGEROUS, DO YOU WISH TO TRANSFER TO A SAFER LOCATION ? “
He had no idea what was happening but since he had no sword to defend himself, this safe location would be better than nothing , so he yelled YES again like an idiot and covered his face with his hands like a shy teenage girl who caught her crush staring at her .
A puff sound was heard and the next moment his was in the middle of nowhere.
If he could spot some ruins and hills where he was before, now all he saw were fields of grass.
No mountains, no hills, no cities, his entire horizon was filled with dead fields .
Before he even had time to get surprised, bunch of building tools appeared midair and as if they were wielded by invisible hands, they built a large medieval castle in less than 10 seconds.
“WHAT IN THE CHARLES JAMES IS THIS”
He tripped himself from the surprise and fell on his knees right in front of that gigantic castle which looked super well maintained.
Few more messages were transmitted on his brain which slowly became the norm.
“ CASTLE BUILDING- COMPLETE .
DO YOU WANT TO HEAD TO THE ESSENCE SHRINE ? “
He said Yes again and after another PUFF sound he was transported inside the castle, as the name said he was in front some kind of fountain and around it were the warrior corpses that he thought had disappeared .
As if he had gained some sort of mystic appraisal eye, he could now see status windows just like in the mobile game .
This was super insane but he kinda had to go with the flow, honestly he was just hoping some sort of outfit could be found in this large castle.
