Vol 2 Chapter 1: initial choice

A month has passed.

It has been a month since Isaac Barnes came into this world.

Originally, he came to such a world as a human being on Earth...ah, he knows where this world is.

It was in the world of an anime "Attack on Titan" that became popular in 2013.

That's easy to spot, right?

The tall city walls, the existence of giants in people's mouth, and the existence of garrison troops. And...the existence of the investigation corps that went to investigate outside the wall...

He also loved the story...

The description of various details highlights the truth of the story...for example, when the protagonist Alan's mother died. The mother, crushed under the rubble, kept telling her child to run as the giant approached.

And... when Alan was forcibly taken away by Hannes, she covered her mouth with tears and whispered, "Don't go, save me."...

He... never thought that he would come to this cruel world, and never expected such a thing.

The time is now 843, and there are only two years left before everything begins.

Isaac Barnes, who has been in this world for a month, is considered to have adapted to this world, but—what happens after he adapts?

The situation he faced at this time was... to make a choice!

Choose to live, or... fight!

If you choose to fight, who will you fight for?

First of all, of course, is the matter of whether to "survive". It's not about giving up living, but...whether you have to give up everything in order to live.

If you choose to live, then one of them is to live as a 'civilian', but forget it—

He is only eight years old now and lives in Sigansina district. In other words... the place where the giant first invaded, he only needs to wait two years before he will lose everything. By then, even if he enters the inside of the Wall of Rose, will he really be able to live a good life?

And... still such a world with no entertainment equipment at all.

During this month, he was not only adapting to the world, but also trying to get rid of one of his symptoms—Internet addiction.

Grass!

For a whole month, the mobile phone was never one meter away from him, and he could play games online at any time, and he disconnected the technology information for a month!

My heart went from 'indifferent' at the beginning, then 'crazy', and then a feeling of 'forget it'. In the end, I finally calmed down and started to think about "what should I do in the future".

Well, since you don't choose to become a civilian, if you want to live a good life, then the only thing you can do is to become a military policeman.

This is the fastest way for ordinary people like him in this world to climb up. As long as he becomes a gendarme, he should be able to live well, playing cards with other gendarmes with the government's salary every day. ...

As long as the royal government changes, it is enough to stand in the right team, and it is fine to ignore the mobilization of the investigation corps afterwards.

But...but is that really what he wants?

very upset-

Even if he tried his best to calm himself down, he wanted to find something for himself to get used to this world... Only in this way can he temporarily forget and lose the irritability brought by the Internet.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The best way is to join the 'Investigation Corps'.

It's just... that is almost equivalent to giving up one's own life... It is not impossible for death to befall one's body anytime...

"Forget it, let's die." Lying on the bed, Isaac Barnes sighed gloomyly: "If you die, maybe you can go back..."

He has decided!

Join the Survey Corps—

Of course, having said that, it is unknown whether he will regret it at that time. After all, anyone can say things like 'I am not afraid of death' and 'It doesn't matter if I die' while lying in bed.

But...if death really wants to come to me...

Don't know...not at all.

Although he said it didn't matter on his lips, he knew very well in his heart... he didn't have the courage.

He's just an ordinary guy who talks nicely...

He was just thinking about himself and what attitude he should live with in the future, but he didn't think about right or wrong.

Because...there is no such thing as 'right or wrong' in this world.

If you just watch the "Attack on Titan" animation, then you will definitely think that Allen and the others are right, but Reiner and the others are wrong, they are sinners of mankind...

Ahh...although there is nothing wrong with saying that.

but...

Everything has already changed.

When Allen faced the sea and said that if we kill all the people on the other side of the sea, can we be free?

When Allen said that he would launch the "cry of the earth" to release all the giants in the wall and raze the world to the ground

When Allen invaded the country called "Malai" where Reiner and the others were located.

When Allen crushed and killed those ordinary people without mercy...

The dream is over, good and evil are gone.

It was already a war between human beings and human beings, a war between civilizations... There was no justice at all, it was simply a battle for each to survive.

Although... even the dream part is so cruel. There are almost no places that can make people laugh from the bottom of their hearts... Ah, that's because it was a nightmare before.

Before he crossed over, this cartoon was once said to be 'right-wing'.

He has never been able to see where this is reflected.

Instead, wait until Allen and the others reach the sea...

When Allen killed the civilians on the other side of the sea.

When Ermin said "Is this what you see? Bertolt."

When that Sasha died, when Mikasa leaned behind the tombstone and muttered to himself, 'If you lose, you will die, if you win, you will live. 'when...

When Allen said "Fight, fight" with a gloomy expression in front of the mirror, just like when he raised a stone to block the city gate...

Ah... He understood at that time, understood the cruelty of the world and the cruelty of war in a comic. At that time, his favorite animation among Attack on Titan was the content of their training period.

Those days are long gone.

And at this time, he also understood that this comic... seems to be an anti-war comic.

Seeing him here made him more aware of the cruelty of the battle.

"call-"

Isaac sat up abruptly and opened his eyes: "I have decided...to join the Survey Corps, and...to change the world!"

He didn't have any golden fingers, and he knew very well that it was difficult... no, it was almost impossible to change these by relying on his own ability, after all, he was just an ordinary person.

but-

There are people in this world who can change this!

The leader of the Survey Corps—Erwin!

And... the strongest soldier of mankind - Levi!

If it was them...

Maybe you can make a different choice.

Yes, he made a choice!

Isaac stood up, he thought, this should be a choice that he would not regret, he wanted to find a way to let those two people know the truth about this world that he knew!
