Italic, 'How did I get here' Thinking
Bold Italic explanation has leveled up, skills
I just want to say thank you for your support and sorry for the wait, it really meant a lot to me how supportive you were and really helped me get through this, and out of the depressing stuff for those of you who Think twenty-five Titan kills is a lot Oluo had 39 with that said, here is chapter nine.
850 4 days after the battle of Trost
Standing Infront of a desk I answer "Cadet, Qǐshì. My O.D.M was damaged beyond repair; I need to request new gear."
The women at the desk hands me a pile of paper about three inches thick
"this is the paper work need for the gear I will need your superior officer to sign here" she says while pointing at the page before continuing
"to confirm that this Requisition is approved" she says while waving me away
Looking at the paper I start to limp my way out, and find a S.O while I fill out the forum
Fake limping is getting exhausting but I can't miraculously heal so I have to deal with it, maybe I should get a cane?
Not really my style though maybe later in life I mean I think I am immortal? Maybe so yeah try different things and see if I really feel something
On a brighter note, with my gear broken I will not get asked to kill those captured Titans, what were their names Again? Sowy? Bowy? Now all I can think about is Titan names.
Hmm when was I born? I really don't know. I'll just put my old birthday, wait different world date of birth is not going to be the same.
Eh I'll just put in something random. With that done I keep going through the paperwork
A bit later
After getting the forum signed, I was told it would take a few weeks to get the gear, which is really going to be difficulty because it took me a long time to get adjusted with the old one, and there will be a week between me getting it and the Mission.
Though I do have some free time to try and get a Firearms skill and I do have a pistol.
Deciding to get out of town I go though, not ever thing is set up again yet so there is really no place to by a bunch of things, shame could use some more cloth.
Looking around the area there's no tailors open, so no sewing maybe I can try to upgrade my arm?
I wouldn't even know where to begin to do that. Getting an idea, I look around for a forge.
Not seeing one in the area I keep heading out of town before Finally finding one that is still abandon.
Stealthily going into the forge, I find some metal not caring what type I then grab a hammer and hit the metal after heating it for a while.
Due to Sewing being level 100 You are unable to gain skill metal working
Why? It's just hitting metal. Taking some time to think it over it probably means there can only be one production skill at a time.
Okay then let's try something else channeling MP into the bar I try to form it from a bar to thread
Current Action is impossible
Okay that is... I can see the future but I can't make some metal string?
Giving up with metal for now I swiftly leave and continue for the woods
Walking for about an hour I get to the woods, looking around to make sure no one was looking
I pull out my gun and look for some targets not bothering to set some up
Seeing a large rock, I aim for that and fire, and I miss
Taking my pistol back I grab some powder from my inventory and pore some into the barrel, putting the powder away a I grab some paper and a Lead shot and wrap the shot with the paper before them into the barrel then ramming them down with the ramrod before looking back to the rock.
Before aiming I use fore sight till it says I hit the target and fire
No skill pop up?
Line break
You have gained the skill |fire arms mastery|
Fucking finally, I wasted Three hours and twenty-eight shots to get this
And now I can't level it up because it took so long, putting the pistol back into my Inventory I start moving back at my top speed since no one is around
I must really suck at guns if it took this long to get the skill, are maybe there is system related reason?
Why did I skip the tutorial? At least I turn commands to intent instead of thought.
Getting to the forest edge much quicker that before I start to move into town considering the benefits of pursing gun-based combat
This world is not exactly the best for guns, even after the anti-personal squad comes in, I really won't be able to use them, maybe I should try to focus on my magic, if I can get it to work.
Deciding what to next with the story is another thing entirely, do I try to kill Annie on this mission, see what kind of Exp that will give,
or try to get the warriors to bring me with them to Marley killing pretty much any Titan I see for a level up with twenty-eight-thousand three-hundred and fifty Exp for my next level up I would need to kill two Titans for that.
So, in order to get level 100, I would need 4,375,350 Exp, so I need to kill around two-hundred and nineteen Titans in order to get there. I don't think I will get there anytime soon
unless a quest with a reward of five-million Exp where to suddenly show up
...
worth a shot
Aside from that I would need to think about the future and also prepare for the very real possibility I die.
Which from what I was told if I die, I will just be sent back to my room which thanks to my divine armament and battle continuation will be very difficult
Thinking back on the metal String I tried to create it said the action was impossible, and considering how closely tied my Inteligent's and wisdom are to magic and considering no Title will level up Inteligent like wisdom...
It would use up a lot of stored points, maybe I shouldn't?
Putting 48 points into Int and 2 into luck so the points I have left over are even
For reaching an Intelligent's 100 you have gained the Skill Recreation
Clicking onto the new skill to check it out I see
Recreation (lvl:1|0%) User can Recreate a situation that has happened, in their mind within two days of the event.
So, there are two ways this skill can go one it allows me to relive experiences I have had to look back to see if there is anything I missed, or it allows me to figure out what happened in an area.
Line break
So, it's been a few days and now well looking out to the bonfire
'it's kind of weird being this detached, I mean do all these people count as being real? Or are the just fictional characters my mind is flashing me before I truly die?'
Shaking my head out of that thought
'no this hast to be real I know that was god, so why can't I muster up just some bit of emotion I would take even boredom here. I hope that I wasn't like this before.'
Walking up to the flames 'I can't even feel their heat' I think off handedly
Kneeling by the fire I put my hands together
'oh lord I ask you take these battle warier souls and show them their deaths were not in vain, that the battle they fought go on no longer that the innocents are protected, that they can rest in your kingdom forever more, amen' I finish before laying a blue iris down by the fire
Getting up I walk backwards
"Hey, guys... Have you decided which one you're joining? I have" Jean says while looking to Historia, Ymir, Sasha and Connie
Grabbing his arm jean says "I... I... I'm joining the survey corps!" jean finishes before crying
'brave man I can at least recognize that' I think before turning and start to walk away
Line break
"come on, work!" I huff
The current action you are trying is impossible
"Scheiß drauf!" I shout
"Warum arbeitest du nicht? Stück Scheiße!" I yell
Taking a Deep Breath 'why can't I use magic to heat up some bread, easily the most mundane thing I could think of.' I think to myself
This is probably going to be my only free time for this, since the gear inspections are going on that means joining the Scouts is tonight.
And since swearing apparently helps you focus, I thought why not.
Getting back on track putting the piece of bread back down, I just try to move the Mana out to my palm
The current action you are trying is impossible
Really just getting it to go out of my hand is impossible, yet I can get it to go to my blades.
'wonder if it's because magic doesn't really exist here?' I question before dismissing it
'no if that was the case it wouldn't allow Strengthening a simple stick blocking a blade would not be very subtle, I mean my eyes lightly glow when I use Fore sight, great for intimidation, not normal though.'
Deciding to put that mystery off for later, I spend the next chunk of my time just listing to what's happening around me.
…
…
…
'no skill, not even a single conversation? How bad is my hearing?' Deciding to stick to just using mana for now
Line break
"so, want to talk about it?" I ask Annie who was currently leaning against the wall waiting for the speech
"About what?" Annie asks
"you know what" I don't I'm just messing with her
Sighing Annie answers "not right now, maybe later"
"well considering I might die before than" I say before getting interrupted
"Don't talk like that, you make it sound like you want to die" Annie says hastily
"It's not that I want to die, more like accepted the fact I will." I rebuke
Sighing once more Annie says "I sometimes wonder why I try to reason with you"
"Because blonde hair and blue eyed is your type?" I question
"you have white hair!" Annie responds quickly with red cheeks
"what does my hair have to do with you trying to impress Armin?" I ask
"eh!" now Armin is blushing, kind of forgot he was there
And there is Jean "Jean" I say trying to get his attention
Now noticing him Armin engages with him "Jean... you're really joining the survey corps?" getting a
"Yeah" in reply
"why, all of a sudden? I mean aren't you scarred?" Sasha asks
"huh? Of course, I don't want to join the survey corps." Jean says
"Th-Then why..." Connie stutters out
Jean responds with "It isn't that I decided the Titan don't scary me, and I won't say something like the best should join the survey corps. I'm not as eager to die as some." Jean remarks
"You mean Eren?" Connie starts "He already Joined the Survey corps" Connie finishes
I was going to ask why we don't just say scout before some guy yells for the trainees to line up
Getting moving I hear jean say "I'm not risking my life because someone convinced me. This is not a job you can't do if you don't decide for yourself." jean says before walking away
A bit later
Wow really just making us stand here and listen to you go on about nothing important, I mean its night now
And that's Erwin
"I am Erwin Smith, Commander of the Survey Corps. Today, you will join a military branch, put bluntly, I'm here to persuade you to join the survey corps. During the Titan attack, you learned how terrifying they can be, and how limited your own power is, however, this battle brought humanity closer to victory than it's ever been. Through Eren Jaeger's existence, by risking his own life, he's proven himself, without a doubt a friend to humanity. With his help, not only did we stop the Titans advance, but we have a way to discover their true nature. we believe that in the basement of his Zhiganshina home, there are answers about the Titans that he himself doesn't have. If we can reach that basement, we will find a clue that will end this century of Titan rule" this was followed by gasps and mumbling
Continuing Erwin Says "We will head for the basement in Zhiganshina. However, that requires us to retake wall Maria. In other words, our objective hasn't changed, but with Trost gate sealed, we'll have to take the long way around, form Karanes to the east. The four years we spent laying a route for a large army have gone to waste. In those four years, more than sixty percent of the survey corps lost their lives. Sixty percent in four years... an insane figure, any trainees who join will partake in our excursion beyond the walls, in a month. We expect thirty percent won't return; in four years most will be dead. But those who survive, will become superior soldiers with a high survival rate... knowing these discouraging facts, any still willing to risk their lives, remain here. Ask yourself, are you willing to offer your beating heart for humanity? That is all. Anyone who wishes to join another branch is dismissed." Commander Erwin finishes and a soldier walks up to him and says something
You have lost 1 Charisma
'What why?'
I just stand where I am, no point in pretending I was joining anywhere else
People just keep walking away.
Might as well take this chance when I have it 'observe'

"I see, I like the look on your faces. Then I welcome you to the Survey Corps! This is a true salute! Offer up your hearts!" Erwin exclaims
Of course, I salute I mean who wouldn't?
