Reincarnated As The Skeletal Legion’s Commander

t group. His four other friends from the second group blocked the path beside him with folded arms. The message was clear:
un and well clobber your head in.

”The hell you want, Vick? ” One of the kids in the first group spoke up.

”Shut up. ” Vick spat aggressively. ”You little twits are the ones who scratched up my car yesterday, innit? ”

There was a scared silence and no one answered for a few seconds until a brave kid retorted. ”So what if we did? You literally thrashed my friend Matts bike a week ago. ” His friends beside him nodded in support, trying to take a defensive position on his sides.

”That piece of junk wasn worth shit. ” Vick snarled. ”Unlike what you did to my car. Mustang. 300 horsepower. ”

”Yeah, yeah, whatever. ” A kid in the back of the first group piped up. ”We don need to hear you bragging. ” And another boy yelled, ”Get to the point, jerk! ”

Vicks eye twitched threateningly as he narrowed his eyes. ”My point. Is that theres gonna be hell to pay. ”

”It was a fair trade, Vick. ” The brave kid at the front spoke again. ”You destroyed Matts bike, we get back at your car. You brought it on yourself. ”

”Man, screw Matt! ” Vick yelled in anger, ”Hes just a damn sad piece of shit! Why you
e even friends with that trash, I don und- ”

He never got to finish his sentence.

Everything happened so fast and at the same time, it was almost like a blur to remember. No one knew who threw the first punch but all of a sudden, Vick was reeling backward with a black eye, everyone charged, both sides clashed, shouts of anger and pain rang out, and all hell broke loose.

Everyone was fighting. Fists swung around wildly at both friend and foe, shoes kicked out at others shins and both sides used whatever they could to inflict the most amount of pain. In a few seconds, it had descended into a no holds barred free for all brawl.

Both sides were evenly matched in numbers, but the 2nd group was starting to recover from their initial surprise and fighting back hard and brutally.

Two were locked in a struggle to strangle each other while a guy from the first group tackled a larger guy to the ground. Another person was kicking anything that came in kicking range of him and managed to successfully repel some enemies and teammates alike. Someone had gotten hold of a large metal trash bin lid and was using it as a shield and a weapon against someone else who came with a prepared baseball bat. Vick was fighting with another kid from the first group, who was surprisingly managing to trade blows despite being immensely smaller than the giant jock-bodied Vick.

Suddenly, Vick lunged forward and pushed the smaller boy in the chest. As the boy stumbled backward, everything seemed to slow down. Everyone on both sides stopped fighting and stared at him in horror. He saw the fear in every one of his friends eyes, he saw the distress of someone not knowing what to do in them.

He saw his whole life flash past his eyes…

…In the blinding headlights of the large semi-truck.

There was the sound of the repeated blaring horn and screeching brakes, but it was too late. There was the abrupt impact that broke his bones, and the loud crash that deafened his eardrums.

And the darkness that enveloped him and swallowed him whole as truck-kun ran him over.

The boy was only 14 when he lost his life. He would never be able to enjoy life with his friends anymore. His friends would be heartbroken. His parents would be devastated. He had such a bright future ahead of him… but now it would never come.

That boy was me.

As I lay in the darkness, I wondered if my friends rewatched the movie they had told me about. It was a shame I couldn watch it with them. If I was still alive, I would be laughing, joking with them about having a TV in the toilet. I wondered if they actually did set up a TV in the toilet for me. I wondered what was going to happen to me next.

But I didn need to wonder for long. I was reincarnated into another world.

A world of swords and magic, just like in the RPGs and Anime I used to watch with friends.

And thus begins my new life where I gain incredible abilities and become a hero that saves the world.

Or so I hoped.

I kind of wish I hadn hoped.
