(Unknown place. No POV)
In a dark room sits a young man with brown hair wearing a green and black tracksuit. He appears confused, as he looks around the room multiple times "Where am I?" It was while he was wondering this, that the sound of heels clicking against the floor could be heard from behind him.
A woman wearing a lot of blue in the form of a vest, detached sleeves, thigh-high boots, an extremely short miniskirt and a transparent underskirt. walks past him and sits upon a throne, crossing a leg over the other while doing so.
"Welcome, Kazuma Satou, to the afterlife. I regret to inform you of your passing, but in fact, you are dead" Her voice was solemn as she spoke, a hint of sadness in her tone. She picks up a paper and looks it over, the paper being Kazuma's information.
"Wait what, I'm dead! You have to be joking right!?" He shouts at her hysterically, not believing of his untimely death.
"I apologize, but you are dead. There is no doubt, as you are before me now" Her tone was still sad but a bit incredulous at the fact he denied it immediately, as she saw his file and how he died; thinking he was run over, yet he denies he died? (Even if he didn't die due to being run over)
Kazuma looks down and mutters "I'm really dead, aren't I?" He just remembered being run over, though he didn't know what actually happened, was in fact, quite different from expectation.
Seeing his crestfallen expression, the woman began to speak in a soft tone "Listen, my name is Aqua, goddess of water and purity. I am here to send you too your next life, as you have three options" Aqua, before Kazuma could interject, began listing off his options.
"First, you could go to heaven and live the last of eternity. Never feeling pain, sadness, hate, hunger; or anything of the such." She raises one finger.
"Second, You could be reborn into a new world without memory, a complete restart as most would call it." She raises a second finger.
"Third, You can be sent to a fantasy world, under attack by the demon king. But you won't be sent empty handed, as I will grant you a boon and knowledge of the language; if you choose this option." She raises a third finger.
She sits there and lets him process, as it was a lot of knowle- "I want option three!" She sits there, dumbfounded, and blinks at him confused. "Are you sure, you don't want to think any longer?" While she was somewhat confused, she wouldn't say no too some help in that world; She was, after all, interested in a certain person there, and was planning to secretly pay a visit to them.
"No need, I want option three!" He shouted out excitedly, already thinking of becoming a big shot and making a harem; Of course, aqua saw these thoughts, but made no hurry to rid him of them. If another overconfident reincarnated person gets themselves killed again, then they shouldn't have even attempted to try and play hero in that world.
"Very well; You may choose from this pile of papers, your boon" She snaps her fingers and a table with a thick stack of papers appear in front of Kazuma, having over a thousand pages. And this was only the first stack, but these thousand were the most chosen by reincarnaters; So they were put into one pile, and if none of them were chosen, there a few more thousands of items to choose.
Aqua sits back and summons a bowl of Water-melon and watches as kazuma looks through the papers, preparing for a long wait while thinking of the man in that world that she has taken interest in. 'I wonder what he's doing?'
(Scene change. Axel inn, room 12.)
A certain black haired man is awakened by a sneeze, an hour before the sun would usually wake him. "For once, it wasn't the sun. Maybe someone's talking about me? Nah probably not." He yawns and stretches, getting out of bed and once more getting ready for a day of adventure; If only he knew what was about to happen.
(Scene change. Guild hall)
Sitting at a table, hank eats his breakfast while mulling over his recent reward. 'An exosuit? Maybe I should test it out. And it said it had a gun, maybe I should try to kill those toads.' He opens his inventory and stares at the exosuit, and opens its statistics screen.

--(Exosuit: Deadeye; Statistics)--
Hank was confused for a few moments 'I don't remember there being stat buffs...' Though he quickly dismisses it, as it's not something harmful and instead rather helpful. So now, even more eager to test out his exosuit now, finishes his meal quickly and grabs a giant toad extermination quest.
And once he got it approved, he literally sprinted at full speed out the guild and towards the exit gates; some of the adventurers were surprised at how fast he was, but quickly shrugged it off and went back to what they were doing. This wasn't a big surprise in this world, nor was it uncommon.
He was sprinting at full speed going 56mph. And it was while he was getting closer to the exit that he was doing quick mathematics in his head 'My Dexterity is 33 and 2x that is 66. Strength is 39 and 4x that is 156! Endurance is 36 and 6x that is 216!!!' By this point he had reached the gate and was heading towards the plain; hardly able to contain his excitement.
(Scene change. Dark room)
While Hank was off doing his own thing, testing his new exosuit on giant toads. Back in this room, Aqua was reading a book titled 'How to marry a mortal.' And meanwhile, Kazuma was halfway through the pile and still looking over the items one by one.
(Scene change. Plains outside axel)
Back with Hank, he just arrive at the plains area and saw a few giant toads around; Most just sitting there like statues, to the point you could only tell they were alive by their eyes blinking and the occasional 'ribbit' or 'croak' from them.
"Huh, there's a lot of different colors here; there's pink, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple, cyan." Hank was looking at each of toad and counting how many colors he saw, but he quickly slapped himself "Don't get distracted, Exosuit testing time!" He willed the exosuit to appear and heard a voice in his head.
[Engaging Exosuit model Deadeye. Please stand by]
After a moment, a skin tight suit appeared on him along with a helmet displaying his health, mana, suit readiness and suit durability. Not a moment later the deadeye suit appeared behind him, open and ready to be engaged.
As he gets in it, wires connect to the suit and pull him tight against its frame. And after being secured in the suit, It's parts begin to close up, encasing his body in itself. His arms are covered and encased in the steel covering, his legs follow soon after. Then the top part comes down and locks in place over his head and torso.
Now standing in the plains fully suited up, he begins to move around experimentally; moving his legs and arms, then to his feet and hands. Taking a few steps to get used to it, he begins to punch and kick, slowly adjusting to the feeling of the suit.
"This is cool. Woah, my voice is all metallic like" Which was true because as he spoke, his voice had a metallic kind of quality to it; though still completely clear what he's saying. And after a moment of trying a few more basic movements, he takes out the ravager; deadeyes signature weapon.
Looking at one of the nearest giant toads, which was about 30 meters away. He aimed and fired continuously, the frog being filled with holes; the bullets finding little resistance when coming in contact with their bodies.
And once the first fell, it was like a switch in hanks mind had flipped, he went on to unload into multiple more toads; The weapon refilling in a few seconds once empty. And after the eighth toad fell, he stopped and looked around seeing the other seven frogs dead. "Maybe I went a little to far..." He made the weapon disappear for the moment, and looked for more toads.
Finding another one after a minute of search, he tests out the thrust attack; his metallic hand heating up until white before striking the toad. Once contact was made, the toads skin sizzled and the force actually crushed its innards to mush, along with sending it flying a few meters away.
"well damn" Was all Hank could say at this point, as the frogs were known for their impact resistance.
(Scene change. Dark room)
Back in that dark room, Aqua was now reading a book called 'How to seduce a mortal.' while eating grapes. And kazuma, like before was still looking through papers, only this time it was another stack of them.
(Scene change. the plains outside axel dubbed "The great toad massacre" after this day)
Hank sits atop a hill of toad carcasses at least having 20 piled up. "Let's see, it's about 25,000 eris every five toads, so this is immediately 100,000. That's about 15,500 wealth in the system." He stands up and puts the toad carcasses inside his inventory "I'm gonna need more than that" He grins behind his helmet like a maniac. And so begins the legend of the 'Toad slaughtering, Iron suit.'
(Scene change. Dark room Again)
In the dark room Aqua is still reading 'How to seduce a mortal.' As she finishes the book and reaches for one with a note on it saying 'Read this to understand copulation' the book being titled 'Ecchi Ecchi Paradise.' Kazuma exclaims "I know what I want!" Aqua stops and puts the books to the side.
Now turning her attention to Kazuma she asks "And what will you be taking?" She asks curiously. He went through half of the total items they had as available boons, so the wide range made it nearly impossible to guess which one he'll take.
"I pick you!" The silence after this was deafening. Aqua, now visibly confused asks "And why me?" The response she got was so stupid and foolhardy, that it left her stunned. "Because, like all isekai stories, I need a overpowered waifu that I shall surpass and have fall in love with me!" He said this in a sagely way, but it was so dumb that it lost any wise tone he tried to add to it.
Aqua looked at him blankly and answered shortly "No, choose something else" She then picks up 'Ecchi Ecchi Paradise.' And begins to read the book to understand intercourse. And Kazuma, hearing this was confused about her refusal; As he hadn't planned for this.
"What do you mean no? You can't refuse!" He shouted out his incredulity, not believing she would refuse. "I can refuse, I'm the one overseeing your resurrection." She replied not paying attention to him, and instead focused on her book; already halfway through.
"Well I don't want anything else-" Before he could continue, Aqua, now annoyed, said "Alright, then you shall be on your way." She waves her hand and a magic circle appears below him. "You can't just send me away like this! you bi-" His words were cut off as he disappeared from the room.
She finishes her book and sets it aside, waving her hand making all the pages and table disappear; leaving the room clean once more. "I wonder how Hanks doing?" She waves her hand again and summons a mirror, and after a moment it displays hank massacring dozens of toads.
(Scene change. The plains outside axel)

After looking at his stats, he disengaged from his suit and started sprinting back towards the city; Now going much faster then before. As he ran back, the suit on him disappeared and his normal clothing reappeared; being a black hoodie and jeans.
(Scene change. Axel gates)
Entering back into axel, Hank quickly arrived at the guild and approached luna with a wide grin on his face, which luna took notice of. "You seem quite joyful today Hank!" She speaks in a lively tone too hank. "I've had an amazing day so far, and I just got done hunting a bunch of toads!"
Luna, accustomed to adventurers boasting, just smiles politely; but she got the feeling that something wasn't right. "That's great! just hand me your adventurer card so I can validate the quest." Hank hands her his card, and she checks his kills. Her face suddenly shifts from a smile to complete shock, not expecting to find fifty kills; but she keeps it in and confirms the request ten times.
Handing the card back to hank, she says "I must say, I was not expecting you to have done the quest ten times over." She gives him a smile despite the shock. "Yea, I got carried away. Apologies Luna." He scratches the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.
Luna waves it off "No need for apologizing, doing this helps farmers with their livestock. Less giant toads, less livestock getting eaten." She walks into the back and comes back with a few big bags of eris, each holding 50,000 eris inside them.
Hank takes the bags and carries them easily "Thanks Luna, I appreciate your help." Luna smiles brightly, not often getting appreciation for her work "It's no problem Hank, have a good day!" She waves as he leaves, and once he exits the building she sighs. "If only everyone was as nice as him. maybe I should snatch him up before someone else does..." She sighs again and gets back to work.
