[Third person pov]
In a world dyed in red, thick air filled with the smell of blood and death, there was a man standing in the middle of a barren rocky land, staring absent mindedly into the sky.
He was quite handsome with black hair and a pair of beautiful silver eyes that had a deeper tone around the pupils.
His body was slender not fat, wearing a t-shirt with a thick jacket with a hoodie draped over it, a pair of blue jeans and snickers.
"What am I gonna do now? Run away?" The young man, Dylan, said snapped out of his previous state where he was looking at the red dyed sky.
"Am I doomed already?
From the beginning, why the hell am I here? Wasn't I going back home?" He kept talking to himself as he was nervous and afraid which was a natural instinct because he never got into a situation like this before.
He didn't know what he should do or what would happen to him. Since he first was pulled into that weird temple where he met the six demons, the felt a sense of dread and that something bad might happen to him as he didn't has any powers or mana to fight with.
He didn't even has any experience in fighting monsters.
And when he finally thought that he would go back home and rest before searching for someone to help him break the contract with these demons, he found himself thrown into another world with red sky and barren lands with nothing but rocks and thick air that smelled with blood.
"How unfortunate I've become." Dylan sighed before taking a deep breath.
Cough!
But as the air was thick and bloody, his lungs couldn't take it and felt like suffocating.
"Shit, what should I do in this place?" As he asked, he heard whispers coming from around him before hearing the same alluring voice in his head again.
[Welcome to Darknot~]
[A world of blood, wars, battles and death~] another continued.
"Why am I here?" Dylan asked feeling somewhat irritated because he felt like this was a bad joke now.
[We brought you here, so you could get stronger~] another voice said.
[Currently, your body can't withstand our full power, not even some of it, you could only use them in their basic state without any techniques or skills that could cause huge destruction.] Another explained.
[We want you to be strong and master the uses of all the six weapons.]
Hearing this, Dylan understood the part which explained how weak he was, after all, he was just an ordinary civilian without any powers.
And that feeling of weakness was always a side he hated about himself whether in this life or the life before. Yeah, he wanted to have a normal life but that's because he didn't have a choice.
He didn't get a system or any cheat to help him get stronger, and despite being reincarnated in a world that was very similar to SL, he didn't awaken any powers.
Power and strength were always what made a person survive, no matter the era.
And now hearing that he was still weak, although they didn't mention it directly, he clinched his fists and gritted his teeth hard. He hated this, being weak a helpless.
Although he faked it behind smiles and causal attitude, inside he felt angry at himself for being weak, and now with a chance to help him get stronger, he would take it and savor it with all his being.
Sigh.
"Then, what should I do? Fight monsters?" He asked.
"...Yes, by fighting monsters and absorbing their souls, you will get stronger and evolve faster~"
"You need to master the use of every weapon until it becomes an extension of your body."
Dylan nodded as he understood the implications.
But there was a question that was aroused when she said something specific.
"What do you mean by absorbing their souls?"
Can he absorb the souls of the monsters he kills?
"An advantage for you making a contract with us all, was that you would get the ability to absorb the souls of the monsters you kill helping you get stronger faster."
"But didn't you say that we aren't fully contracted?"
"Yes, we are. The contract isn't complete yet, you could say that we made a semi-contract until you finish your side of the deal."
"Okay, but how can I summon the weapon?"
"Just think about it~"
Dylan nodded before with a thought, a katana appeared in his hands. It didn't look like it was made of stone like before but had a very elegant and beautiful desgine.
The katana was long, the sheath was completely black with some patterns coiled around it, giving it a feeling of power and elegance.
Then as he pulled it out of the sheath, Dylan saw a complete black blade with very sharp silver edge, the handle was of deep red like blood while on both sides of the blade, there was something written in a weird language that he couldn't understand.
Just by holding it in his hands, he could feel that this katana was so powerful. It wasn't heavy but light as well.
"So beautiful." Dylan muttered unconsciously as he looked at it then suddenly, an extremely alluring sexy voice sounded making him feel like it was playing with his little heart.
"I'm so glad that you liked it dear Dylan~"
But before he could respond, he felt the ground shaking giving him a bad feeling of something coming.
And as he thought, in the distance, he could see a horde of monsters running at him in an incredible speed and power, making the ground shake.
Their numbers were a lot, and their eyes were filled with deep hunger as Dylan felt that they were looking at him as if he was fine piece of meat waiting to be eaten.
Gulp!
"Don't be afraid, fight with all that you got, as long as you kill, you will get stronger and become more efficient~" the alluring voice of earlier talked him, giving him a push which was what he needed.
He was nervous and afraid, but thinking of how weak he was and how he wouldn't move forward if he didn't take the step, Dylan felt as if a weight was lifted from his shoulders.
His mother's face appeared in his mind making his resolve stronger.
'I must survive and return back to her.' that was all that he thought before with the sword in his both hands, Dylan looked at the coming tide with focused eyes and strong will and resolve.
'Here we go, Hmph!'
--------
A/N: before you ask, in his previous life he didn't have enough time to practice martial arts or sports as his life was already hard and shit and in this life was felt that unless he was awakened, he wouldn't be able to do anything to help or defend himself.He just knows how punch and kick.
