" Reves."
" Yeah?"
" Last mag, use it."
" Thank you sir… how's the arm? Need any more morphine?"
" No."
Silence followed as I loaded the last mag into the M4. It was dark as the rain hit the ground.
Couldn't tell the difference between the artillery shells and the thunder in the distance.
" Pvt. Reves! The commander needs you." Sgt James walked up to Lt. Stil.
" I'll take it from here."
I nodded and walked towards the bunker as I heard the Sgt chatting with the Lt. behind me.
" Sir, Pvt. Reves reporting."
Don't salute the commander especially during wartime in the field so he wouldn't be targeted by enemy spotters.
" You brought back Lt. stil from an ambush. Sigh, if it was up to me I would've write you up for a medal, but we need all the man power we need to break through."
" Pvt. Reves, go to supply for restocking and you'll be placed with third platoon."
" Yes Sir!" I replied.
" Before you go, your letter arrived." He slid the envelope across the table,
" Thank you." I took the letter and exited the bunker with the envelope in hand.
I didn't wait long before opening the letter from my brother including the birth of his daughter and how the farm was going smoothly including another letter from my brother who's the eldest.
He talked about the game he was excited to play.
' Sigh, damn bastard. Should've warned me about the damn spoiler-
" Incoming!!"
Whistle decended across the camp as shells hit the ground shaking the earth.
" Get down!!" I felt someone jump on me before feeling a shell hitting next to us!
I felt my entire body shaking from the shockwave and the air leaving my body as I felt my consciousness turning black.

" Wha-!" I found myself awake looking at my hands feeling the memories rushing through my head.
The pain of losing my friends and family behind.
" Get a grip of yourself man… You reincarnated into a different world, you're still me and I'm alive." I whispered to myself as I felt the pain in my chest lessen.
Okay, looks like I'm in some kind of apartment with a window overlooking the city.
" That's so cool." I exclaimed.
It was currently night time and the city was illuminated. Flying vehicles passed in the distance as I took a few seconds to admire the scenery.
" Alright, that's enough. I shoul-" I paused as I stared at the blood on the wall with a revolver on the ground.
Disbelief filled my mind as I slowly touched my head to see the blood on my fingertips.
" Ain't no way."
A mirror, I need a mirror. I scrambled across the room to find the mirror.
My looks still looked the same, black hair and brown eyes except the blood covering my face.
I washed my face in the sink as I saw a scar next to my temple.
' Shit…' I sighed as I walked back into the room and started looking around the room.
I first noticed a photo on the coffee table.
A picture of a man and woman in suits with a young kid.
A red bag was laid on the table next to it. Opening the bag I found a laptop which I opened to find a few messages.
Dear Echo Reves, we send our upmost condolences of your parents passing. But the responsibility of Mr and Mrs. Reves have not been forgotten and has now fallen to you-
" 25,000 eddies." I frowned before closing the laptop.
The blood, the gun, the scar and the message. It was obvious that my predecessor was in debt and took the easy way out.
I could only pity and offer my condolences to the poor soul.
' Now… how am I gonna-' my thoughts came to halt when I heard a knock at the door.
It was a loud bang as I slowly reached for the revolver on the ground and slowly walked towards the door.
And as I approached the door, I observed the revolver in my hand.
6 casings in the cylinder but from blood splatter behind, only 5 are usable.
I didn't know if the bullet could pass the through the door but it didn't stop me from holding the gun up while pulling the hammer back with my thumb.
That little click told me the gun is ready shoot and with no peephole on the door so I slowly opened the door.
"Huh?"
No one was outside. No debt collector or anyone except a box lying on the ground.
Using one hand, I dragged the box inside the room and to find a note along with it.
Another gift to start your journey
" No way."
Two bracers that held the hidden blade and a book.
The hidden blade used by Ezio Auditore had a unique design by using a pressure switch to reveal the blade without needing to use a ring and string to activate.
A demonstration was drawn into the book.
But of course the hidden blade isn't the only weapon used by Ezio.
A small crossbow was also used and needed to be changed for ever 100 shots.
Ways to rebuild, and fix the hidden blade and also shows techniques and ways to use the hidden blade.
I placed one of the hidden blades onto my left arm and activated it.
The blade shot out revealing itself.
And of course, I felt a little excited until another knock came from the door again.
I stopped and slowly pushed the box under the coffee table before picking up the revolver.
But just as I turned around to face the door or suddenly blew from its hinges along with me from the blast.
' What the fuck!?'
