Chapter 3: Military life
Just as Vlad was starting to regain control over his body and the pain was fading, a new wave assaulted his brain. It was painful, but not like the previous one, and this time, memories began to appear in his mind.
Vlad’s eyes widened as he clenched his teeth, the memories taking place on Earth and belonging to none other than himself. These were his personal memories from his past life.
Even though they were years of personal memories involving terabytes of sensorial data, Vlad assimilated everything extremely fast.
In his past life, Vlad had also been an orphan, but unlike in Terra, on Earth, he was adopted by a military general. The man raised Vlad like an ordinary boy. After he turned 18, his adoptive father became extremely strict.
When he turned 18, his father told him that he was no longer a boy but a man and had to take responsibility. Therefore, he was conscripted into the army. He was taught all sorts of tactical knowledge and how to fight with firearms and melee weapons.
The severe training pushed Vlad to the limit, but he excelled due to his fervent desire to prove himself in his father’s eyes. He went through every course and did great in all of them until, finally, it was time to enter battle.
Vlad went into a warzone, ready to prove his might. He performed well and undertook several missions, rescuing many and killing even more. Unfortunately, war was unpredictable, and no amount of training could prepare you for the unpredictability. He was blown to pieces when entering a house that harbored a terrorist six months into his deployment.
Of course, in Vlad’s previous life, there were many other important events, but that was the essence of it.
Vlad’s mind became clear once again, and this time, a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he turned around, put his back against the wall, and surveyed the surroundings. While his previous life memories did not significantly impact his personality, all his military training changed his way of seeing things.
