Ben, a 25-year-old man, an ex-elite soldier, is seen in a prison cell now. He's been imprisoned since last week, and today is his last day. It's not only his last day in prison but also on Earth because he will be executed today.
Ben got imprisoned for the mass killing of a biker gang. Those bikers are 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 to be faster than them. They chased Ben's little brother, Jack, until he got home. They confronted Jack, and Jack apologized to them in the hope that it would be over fast. Jack was riding fast because he wanted to take his sick father to the hospital.
But even after Jack apologized, the gang still didn't forgive him. Then, they started to make a ruckus and break things in the house. They even started beating up Jack and his parents until they died.
Ben was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately returned from his military camp. Luckily he's not on a mission, so at least he can return for his family's funeral. Ben was so devastated by this sudden tragedy and vowed to get the gang into justice.
However, justice turned into a joke for him and his family. The police only arrested 5 people from the total of 34 people in the gang. Even worse, their punishments are just 15 years of prison. Of course, Ben didn't accept this and decided to bring his own justice to them.
Ben took a break from his job and prepared his revenge. As an elite soldier, Ben knew what he needed to do to make his revenge finish fast before the police sniff it and stop him. He knew the consequences, but he would still do it. His family is everything to him, and some people have destroyed it, so he won't stay silent.
Some days after that, the bikers had a meeting in an empty building. Ben also came there and hid while waiting for them to arrive. Then when they all gathered, Ben immediately barged in and bombarded them with hot bullets from his rifle.
The unsuspecting bikers couldn't do anything and were killed immediately. It didn't take long for Ben to get arrested for this, and he didn't resist too. This was also a part of his plan, which he had prepared.
Ben was given a death sentence for killing civilians as he was a military soldier. He was also stripped of his rank immediately after that. Even so, his military comrades and superiors still sympathized with him and agreed to give him one help.
Ben asked to be put in the same prison as the other 5 bikers. His superiors knew what Ben wanted to do, but they still agreed. They used their power to make Ben get in the same prison as the other 5 bikers before his execution, and they succeeded.
After he got in the prison, Ben acted fast to get the 5 bikers. He paid some prisoners to catch the 5 and bring them to him. He had a lot of money from his family heritage and pay as a soldier. That money would be useless anyway, as he would die, and he didn't have any relatives that could use that money, so he used it for his revenge.
Soon, the 5 got caught and brought to Ben who waited in the shower room. Ben didn't wait and immediately beat them up there. As an elite soldier, Ben's strength was no joke, and his techniques were top-notch. He knew where his attack would kill them and give them much pain.
Ben succeeded in killing them on his 1st day in prison, and because of that, his execution time was hastened. He initially had 1 month in prison before his execution, but after he killed 5 men in prison, it was hastened into 1 week, and now is his last day.
"Ben Cooper, it's your time." - Warden
Ben followed the warden without saying anything. He arrived in the execution room that already had some executors there. His punishment is to be shot in his heart with one deadly shot.
Ben looked around and saw the families of the bikers there. He didn't feel bad for them because they also didn't feel bad for his family. Ben looked at them and smirked, making those people roar in anger.
"QUIET!" - Chief Warden
*BANG*
The warden shot his pistol into the air to silence the audience. They got silent, and soon, the execution procedure started.
"Ben Cooper, do you have any last words?" - Chief Warden
"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 deceased bikers and made them angry again. They all roared in rage and tried to get onto the execution platform. Ben just grinned and felt satisfied. These family members tried really hard to protect those killers before, so Ben also has some grudge against them.
"HAHAHAHA, PROVOKED OVER SOME WORDS, AS I THOUGHT FROM PEOPLE WHO TRY TO PROTECT KILLERS LIKE YOU." - Ben laughed maniacally
"ENOUGH! START THE EXECUTION, NOW!" - Chief
*BANG*
A bullet was shot into Ben's heart, and he was killed instantly. But Ben's face was full of pride and satisfaction. He died after he succeeded in killing all his family's killers. Although he couldn't bring his family back, at least he gave them the justice they needed.
~Earthland, Date 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?" - Ben
Ben looked around and saw trees, trees everywhere. He stood up, but he felt that his body was strange. He looked at his body that was visibly a lot 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
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
[No, this is real life, and you are not hallucinating nor dreaming.]
"WHOA!" - Ben startled and got into a fighting position
Suddenly, Ben heard a female voice in his head. He was startled and got into a fighting position reflexively. This is the result of his years of 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
[Yes, I am your new life's assistant, A.I Chip.]
"Huh? New life?" - Ben
[Yes, you were dead, and now you get a chance to live a new life in this Magic 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 warily asked
[It's more of an observation rather than a test. Gods want to know human behavior if they are given a new life in a different world, with different kinds of perks.]
"Perks?" - Ben
[Yes, you are chosen to have an A.I Chip as your perks. Other souls might get a system of different types or other kinds of power or items 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
[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
[I'm glad that you know one or two things about this world now.]
"Damn, you're right. How many people were sent to this world?" - Ben
[Only you. Every test subject will be sent to a different world, so there will only be 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
[Yes, some people even committed atrocities, while others did very good deeds. Some didn't do anything and just enjoyed a slow life even with their great power. Gods never interfered with their life and only watched.]
"Hmm, so everyone really does what they wanted, huh?" - Ben
[Yes, and you can do the same. Do you have another question?]
"I guess not for now." - Ben
[Then, do you agree to this experiment? If you agree, then 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 zero. If you disagree, the Gods will take you back to the afterlife.]
"Wait! Why would you erase my memory?" - Ben
[So that you won't act differently after knowing that you are 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 for me, but I want to live once more, so I'll agree. My parents and brothers can have their peace, and I will search mine." - Ben
[Understood, thank you for your participation.]
Suddenly, Ben felt a massive headache, and he clutched his head. Then he fainted because of the pain and woke up shortly after that. When he woke up, he just remembered that he has a new life as a 10-year-old, a few things about this world, and that he has an A.I Chip now.
"This world is a Magic World, huh? That means that this place is a lot more dangerous than Earth. I need to gain power so I will survive in this world. A.I Chip, do you have something that can help me gain power?" - Ben
[Yes, you were given Sun Dragon Slayer Magic.]
Sun Dragon Slayer Magic, a dragon slayer magic that utilizes the power of the Sun. It can use 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 buffed during the day and wrinkled at night like Escanor?" - Ben
[No, you will only have a problem replenishing your magic power because you can't eat sunlight.]
"That's a relief. What about my physical power?" - Ben
[You are currently 2x stronger than the average 10-year-old Dragon Slayer. You have high potential to grow as a Dragon Slayer, but it still depends on your hard work.]
"Okay then." - Ben
Ben didn't immediately get excited and tried to think about his situation first. He realized 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 useless.
"Before I even think of getting very strong, 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 too, so I must focus on survival first before even thinking of being a strong mage." - Ben
Ben set his current priorities to survive and leave this forest. He will use his skills as an ex-elite soldier here.
"New life, here I come." - Ben grinned
