I hear them so clearly, yet so faintly. The sounds of my men dying, why are they dying so fast, why did our baron send us out here? well the answer lies in what is ahead of me, a hundred thousand men dressed in their barons colors, Archers behind them, and a beast of war behind them. Overkill for a thousand troops. But surrender is a impossibility, only escape is viable. I turn to my left, and see so many dead, but i spot one of the knights in training, Squire if you will. I rush towards him, only to see a massive club come from above and crush him, and i drop to the ground, in hope it did not see me. When it rumbles away, i know i am safe, for now. I turn back and head the opposite direction, i stop when i see the finale members of the army i am with struggling to survive up on a hill ahead.
I decide to run away, i run towards the forest, survival in mind, when i hear a deep rumbling, "Oh Shi-" a massive club broadsides me and i get sent flying into the forest, my body hurts so bad..... i can barely see, but i crawl towards a tree leaving a trail of blood behind, and i watch as it comes looking for me, when it finally spots me i rushes towards me, intent on flattening me when all of a sudden a bolt of something zooms from out of my eye sight and strikes it with enough force to send it flying through multiple trees and most likely kills it as i dont see it get up, and a robed man steps into my vision and says something, "Hello Captain." and i just look at him, and i hear him huff and say, "Rude not to respond." and i gesture with my head the amount of blood and they look around and say, "I could help you out, but at a cost." and i stare at him, "You will forever be tainted by magic, nobody once they learn of your secret will want you nearby or even alive. So tell me, you interested?" and i think over it before noding in agreement, and i see him hold his hand over me and i see it glow, and i almost immedietely i feel better, but when i stand up he says, "You have been cursed, you will understand in due time what i mean, also enjoy being able to wield magic, bye!" and he litterally disappears.
Leaving me wondering what he ment, as untapped energy runs rampant bemeath my skin, and a mark appears on my chest followed by immense pain, causing me to drop to my knees. I dont cry out for fear of death, as i look around before wandering into the forest, using my blade to scrap my barons signate off. While i walk to god knows where, i pass through a stream and wipe the blood from my armor. I stop on a road, looking both ways, i walk to my right, dragging my blade before sheathing it and taking off my helmet, breathing in the afternoon air before seeing what looks like a guard post, i pass through it before getting stopped by 2 guards, who draw their weapons upon seeing mine, say "State your business!" and the, obviously younger one says, "Yeah! State it!" and i give them both a look before saying, "Look, your both clearly attempting to do the best at your jobs, but considering your lack of skill with the weapons your holding, you could not get a single answer out of me." and i walk past them as they stare at me open mouthed, before the older one swings his sword around at my neck, only for me to drop below his blade, unsheathing my sword in one move and swing it around with inhuman speed, cutting his leg off at the knee and then stabbing him through the mouth with the end of the blade, killing him easily. I stand up and look the other one dead in the eye before saying, "are you going to try and stop me or do i have to kill you to?" and i see them rapidly shake their head, and i move on. Not interested in killing the kid if i don't have to, i walk towards the nearest Tavern, as i enter the building i hear the words from the back of my mind, [System 100% Installed.

I look around, but seeing nobody i am a bit confused but shrug it off as i enter the tavern, hoping to get a
drink before the invading army rolls in, and as i enter i see multiple people turn towards me as i walk towards the counter, setting my sword against the bar i order a drink and pay for it with my last bit of money, guzzling it down. I sir there for a second before i hear a guy yell about a army advancing on the town, and i let out a audible sigh. Placing the sword on the bar and straping the sheath to my back, i hear a group of soldiers walk into the bar but stop when they see the ranking on my shoulder and the weapon on the counter, i hear them draw their weapons but resheath them once they see im not interested in them, or so they think. "Sir, are you celebrating our victory? mind if we join you?" and i dont turn towards them when i reply, "You could join me if you want, but i'm not celebrating our victory, im celebrating the fact we did not die amd can go home to our families." and i take another swig of the alcohol, them sitting down nearby but clearly not joining me.
I continue to sit here for the next few hours until something appears in my vision. [Intialization Complete. Status Unlocked]

I stare at the screen, deep in thought. Trying to discypher the meaning of this, ignoring the sounds around me even when the soldiers turn their gaze towards me. The screen disappears when i turn around to the soldiers, who ive just now noticed are talking to me, and i finally hear them, "So will you join us on our walk back to the encampment?" and i shake my head no, and return to the bar. Only to hear them say, "Well either you join us, or your deserting the army, seeing as we were all given a curfew, including the captains. So which is it?" and i hear them draw their swords and i reach for mine, swinging it around blindisiding the first one, cutting his right arm off i kick him into the others, swinging my blade around taking anothers head off, and swinging it around to ahove it into the second ones chest, and i get ready to attack the 3rd one when suddenly a sword pierces my lower internals, and they brutally rip it out, and i turn around and cleave their head off, before finishing the armless one off and droppinng to my knee, then sideways blacking out
