Ben, a 25 year old man, is in a prison cell now. He's been there since last week and now today is his last day. It's not only his last day in prison, but on Earth, as he's set to be executed today.
He was imprisoned for the mass murder of a biker gang. Those bikers were responsible for murdering Ben's family. They killed his parents and little brother just because his brother was overtaking them with his own bike.
Those bikers didn't accept anyone being faster than them. They chased Ben's little brother, Jack until he got home. They confronted Jack and he apologized to them hoping it would be over fast. Jack was riding quickly because he wanted to take his sick father to the hospital.
Despite his apology, the gang wasn't willing to forgive him. Then, they made a ruckus and started breaking things in the house. They even started beating up Jack and his parents causing their deaths.
Ben was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately returned from the military camp he was stationed at so he could be present at their funerals. Ben was so devastated by this sudden tragedy and vowed to get justice for them.
However, justice turned out to be a joke for him and his family. Police only arrested 5 out of the 34 gang members. Even worse, they would only spend 15 years in prison. Ben wasn't going to accept this and decided to take justice into his own hands.
Ben took a break from his job and prepared his revenge. As an elite soldier, Ben knew what he needed to do to quickly get his revenge before police caught on and stopped him. He was aware of the consequences, but was still going through with it. His family is everything to him and some people destroyed it, so he wouldn't remain silent.
A few days later...
The gang held a meeting in a empty building. Ben also went there and hid to wait for their arrival. Then as soon as they showed up Ben barged in and struck them down with his rifle.
The unsuspecting bikers couldn't do anything and were killed immediately. It didn't take long for Ben to be arrested, and he didn't put up a fight. This was another part of his plan.
Ben received the death sentence for the 5 murders as he was a soldier in the military. He was stripped of his rank in the aftermath. Even so, his fellow soldiers and superiors sympathized with him and agreed to help him.
Ben asked to be placed in the same prison with the remaining 5 bikers. His superiors were aware of his intent, but they still agreed to the request. They used their power to place Ben in the same prison with the remaining 5 bikers before his execution, and they were successful.
After entering the prison, Ben acted fast to get to the 5 bikers. He paid some prisoners to catch the 5 and bring them to him. He had a lot of money from payment as a soldier. The money would be useless as he was about to die and he had no relatives that could use it, so he used it to take his revenge.
Soon, the 5 were caught and brought to Ben who waited in the shower area. He came out and immediately beat them up. As an elite soldier, his strength was no joke and his techniques were top notch. He knew how to inflict as much pain as possible before they were killed.
Ben successfully killed them and this was only his 1st day in prison. For this reason, his execution was sped up. He was originally spending 1 month in prison but after killing 5 fellow prisoners, the date was changed and now today's his last day on the planet.
"Ben Cooper, it's your time." The warden told him.
Ben followed the warden without saying a word. He arrived in the execution chamber with some people already inside. The method used to execute him would be firing squad.
Ben looked around and saw the families of the bikers there. He didn't feel bad for them because they didn't feel bad for his family. Ben looked at them and smirked which made the people roar in anger.
"QUIET!" The warden hollered.
BANG
The warden fired his pistol into the air to silence the audience. They quieted down and soon the execution procedure started.
"Ben Cooper, do you have any last words?" The warden asked.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life. They killed my family, so I killed them, and now you'll see me getting killed, didn't we make it fair now? Or do you want to kill me yourself? If so, then come here!" Ben grinned.
Ben taunted the families of the deceased bikers and made them angry again. They all roar in rage and try to get onto the execution platform. Ben just grinned and felt satisfied. These family members tried really hard to protect the killers before, so Ben had a grudge against them.
"HA HA HA HA, PROVOKED OVER SOME WORDS, AS I THOUGHT FROM PEOPLE WHO TRY TO PROTECT KILLERS LIKE YOU." Ben laughed manically.
"ENOUGH! START THE EXECUTION, NOW!" The warden ordered.
BANG
A bullet is fired at Ben's heart, piercing it and killing him instantly. But Ben's expression was full of pride and satisfaction. He died after taking out the people that killed his family. Although this wouldn't bring them back, he still got justice.
Earthland, Day 7, Month 7, Year 777
Ben suddenly woke up in a jungle. He gasped and breathed frantically.
"I'm alive? But how? And where is this place?" He asked himself.
Ben looked around and saw trees everywhere. He stood up, but he felt that his body was strange. He looked at his body which was visibly shorter and smaller.
"Huh? A kid? I'm a kid? No way! I must be hallucinating or maybe this is a dream? Yeah, that must be it." Ben told himself.
Ben slapped his cheek and it hurt. Now he's not sure whether this is a dream or not. Then suddenly, a blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Name: Ben Cooper
Age: 10
Status: Alive
MP: 2000
Strength (STR): 20
Agility (AGI): 20
Stamina (STA): 20
Intelligence (INT): 20]
"What the! Is this like that VR technology? Am I using VR right now?" Ben exclaimed.
[No, this is real life, and you are not hallucinating or dreaming]
"WHOA!" Ben was startled and assumed a fighting position.
Suddenly Ben heard a female voice in his head. He's startled and assumed a fighting position out of reflex. This is the result of years spent training in the military.
[Do not worry, I am not your enemy. Even if I am one, you won't be able to touch me as I am in your head. To be precise, I am in your soul]
"You are this blue thingy's sound?" Ben asked, confused.
[Yes, I am your new life's assistant, A.I Chip]
"Huh? New life?" Ben blinked.
[Yes, you were dead, and now you have a chance to live a new life in this magical world]
A.I Chip explained that Ben was chosen randomly by the gods. Every once in a while, God will pick a random dead soul to be their test subject. So it can be said that Ben is a guinea pig now.
"What kind of test?" Ben asked, wary.
[It's more of an observation than a test. Gods want to know a human's behavior if they are to be given a new life in a different world, with different kinds of perks]
"Perks?" Ben asked.
[Yes, you are chosen to have an A.I Chip. Other souls might get a system of a different type, or another kind of power or item that will help them in their new life. All those perks will be unique to them in their new world.]
"What world is this?" Ben asked.
[Earthland]
"Fairy Tail? So this is an anime world, huh? Good thing I watched this because my brother always forced me to watch his anime collection with him and this is one of them." Ben said.
[I'm glad you know one or two things about this world.]
"Damn you're right. How many people were sent to this world?" He asked.
[Only you. Every test subject will be sent to a different world, so there will be only 1 person per world. The same world will only get a new person when the previous person dies.]
"Okay. So I can do what I want right? I mean, they just want to see my behavior." Ben said.
[Yes, some people have committed atrocities while others have performed good deeds. Some didn't do anything and just enjoy life even with their great power. Gods never interfere with their life. They simply observe them.]
"Hmm, so everyone really did what they wanted, huh?" Ben stated.
[Yes, and you can do the same. Do you have another question?]
"Not for now." Ben said.
[Then, do you agree to this experiment? If you agree, I will erase our conversation from your memory and let you continue your life. I will also erase all your knowledge about this place, so you'll start from scratch. If you disagree, the gods will take you back to the afterlife.]
"Wait! Why would you erase my memory?" Ben exclaimed.
[So that you won't act differently after knowing you're being watched. You'll also gain a massive advantage if you know about the future, so your knowledge of this world will be erased. I will only let you know about A.I Chip, and some basic knowledge of this world.]
"Damn, that's not good news. But I do want to live again, so I agree. My parents and brother can have their peace. I'll search for mine." Ben agreed to participate in the experiment.
[Understood. Thank you for your participation.]
Suddenly Ben felt a massive headache and clutched his head. Then he fainted because of the pain. He woke up not long after that. When he woke up, he remembered that he had a new life as a 10 year old, a few things about this world and that he has a A.I Chip now.
"This world is a magic world, huh? That means this place is a lot more dangerous than Earth. I need to gain power so I can survive in this world. A.I Chip, do you have something that can help me gain power?" Ben asked the A.I.
[Yes, you were given Sun Dragon Slayer magic.]
Sun Dragon Slayer magic, a type of Dragon Slayer magic that utilizes the power of the sun. It can utilize all the force of the sun itself, which is one of the hardest Dragon Slayer magics to learn and master.
"So it's like Escanor's magic. Then will I get buff during the day and wrinkled at night like him?" Ben asked.
[No, you will only have power to replenish your magic power because you can't eat sunlight.]
"That's a relief. What about my physical power?" Ben questioned.
[You are currently 2x stronger than the average 10 year Dragon Slayer. You have high potential to grow as a Dragon Slayer, but it still depends on your hard work.]
"Okay then." Ben nodded.
Ben didn't immediately get excited. He tried to think about his situation first. He realizes that he might have a 'nuclear weapon' in his arsenal now, but he needs to be able to use it correctly. He hasn't been able to use it, so getting excited now is pointless.
"Before I even think of getting stronger, I need to make sure that I live past today. I am in the woods and it must be dangerous. I don't have anything, so I must focus on survival first before becoming a strong mage." Ben said.
His current priority is to survive and leave this forest. He will use his skills as a ex-elite soldier here.
"New life, here I come." Ben grinned.
