Reincarnated As The Skeletal Legion’s Commander

e asked, concerned for his friend. She was trembling in his arms. She tried to push him away without meeting his gaze, but he held onto her, afraid that she might hurt herself again. ”Nyla, whats going on? What happened? ”

”This happened. ” A snide, cold voice rang in his ear. A voice he recognized. Someone suddenly yanked Nyla away out of his arms, another person restraining him from the back. Just as he turned, he was pushed over the cliff and barely managed to catch on to the edge.

His friends, two other boys his age looked down at him with looks of malice on their faces. ”Geltrut? Selio? What are you doing? ” He yelled in confusion, looking at his friends who made no attempt to help him. ”What is the meaning of this? Help me up! This isn funny! ”

”Not today. ” The older one of the boys, Geltrut said with a smirk. ”Weve decided its time for you to go. ”

”What? Geltrut, stop kidding and pull me up! ”

”You still don get it do you? ” Geltrut laughed a horrible sounding laugh for a kid. ”Once you are gone, the bloodline of your family will diminish and my father will be able to take over the nobles wealth. Its essential you must die today before you are accepted in the magic academy. ”

”What? Y-you can do this to me, Geltrut! We- we
e friends! ”

”No. ” Geltrut replied, looking at Selio beside him and then looking at the boy on the edge of death. ”No we aren . We were never your friends. We only pretended to be because my father told us to get close to you. So that he could overthrow your family from the inside. ”

”We-? ” The boy asked, the sudden realization dawning on him. ”No… Even you, Nyla? You all lied to me? ”

He looked at Nyla who was standing a few meters away to say something or deny it. To say it wasn true. But Nyla only bit her tongue and silently looked away in sorrow, refusing to meet her friends desperate eyes.

”You always told me you wanted to be a hero, didn you? ” Geltrut asked with a spiteful smirk. He and Selio stepped forward, directly infront of his friends finger gripping onto the edge. ”Well nows your chance. When Nyla slipped off the cliff, you sacrificed your life in a heroic attempt to save her from falling. How does that story sound? Pretty good right? ”

”Geltrut- You wouldn - ”

”Long live the hero. ” Geltrut jeered before Selio kicked his hands off and the boy fell off the steep rocky slope with a scream.

And just like that, I died before my life could begin again, betrayed by my own friends. Dying twice might sounds cool after surviving, but the pain was excruciating. However, I didn have time to think about everything that had happened.

The next thing I knew, I had been reincarnated again. This time, it was into a sci-fi world of the future. There were flying vehicles, space jets, giant mechs, incredibly advanced technology and complicated concepts that defied the laws of quantum physics.

Perhaps this was where my real adventure starts, I thought. Perhaps everything that had happened until now was just the backstory. Perhaps I would become an unstoppable fighter or a genious engineer that would save the galaxy from destruction.

As usual, my life here was very short-lived again. So short in fact, that its not even worth going into third person POV for.

I died in a year after being born in a chemical explosion when my home planet was sabotaged and invaded by robots.

Why did I keep dying? I wondered. Why couldn I just enjoy life? Was I cursed with bad luck?

I didn have time to think of answers as I was instantly reincarnated into another world again, but it became pretty apparent later.
