0 – prologue
There was no reincarnation in another world in my life plan.
Under the influence of his father, who was a career soldier, he set his future hope from an early age to become a soldier.
He had also received the acceptance letter from the Korea Military Academy, the first gateway to the plan.
The bookshelf above my desk was packed with books on my interests, such as war theory, war history, weapon history, strategy and tactics.
I have already read these several times and have been waiting for the day when they are neatly organized in my head and used.
In a word, I was mild-deok, and to me, reincarnation in another world was nothing more or less than a material that could only be read in fantasy novels.
When I say this, some people say, ‘If you reincarnate in a fantasy world, you can enjoy war, use magic, and enjoy adventures with pretty girls, right?’ I might say it and refute it.
That’s something to talk about at a drinking party or as a joke in this life, and why would a person like me who is rational, planned, and promising as a soldier want a reincarnation in another world?
Not to mention, the world I had to reincarnate into was the world in a book I borrowed from an otaku friend a few days ago and read until the end… I didn’t want to be possessed even more.
But my reality was that I crossed the crosswalk and got hit by a drowsy driving truck and ended up in a room…
When I opened my eyes after being reincarnated, I was an orphan without parents, and after half a year I would be 15 years old, grabbing a few slices of bread and on the verge of being kicked out.
Until now, I hadn’t had to worry about dying of starvation or freezing to death in an orphanage attached to the city’s cathedral.
If you are discharged soon, you will have to go out to the streets and become a poor person in the city, and you will have to worry about Asa and Dong-A.
However, I have a secret number left for me, having read through to the end of a novel set in a different world where I was reincarnated.
‘Reich Imperial Academy Entrance Examination’
It’s a fantasy novel, but it’s a world where the class system is clear, even though an officer is a job that only nobles can do.
Thanks to the teachings of the first emperor, even a slave with exceptional talent can become an officer after passing the exam, completing the academy course, and graduating.
Moreover, in a fantasy world, I can achieve my dream of becoming an officer, which I have not been able to achieve in my present life.
Although I am not a genius, I will be able to do well because I have tactical and strategic knowledge of a world more advanced than this one in my head.
No, you must do well.
Just the day before I was expelled from the orphanage, I passed the written test that evaluates my basic academic ability with barely enough marks.
I was given the opportunity to take the final exam, the interview.
