Chapter 1: Ch-1 Eren Yeager
Year 845,Shiganshina District
"Eren, are you crying?"
Mikasa looked with a concerned tone at Eren, who was dazed. She stood with collected wood; just now, Eren had been napping under a tree before he woke.
"Mik-Mikasa, how?" Eren, or Carl, was totally confused. He was going to watch AOT because he couldn't handle spoilers any longer. Every time he scrolled on his phone, edited videos of AOT kept appearing. He heard that the anime had come to an end and that the ending was tragic.
So he decided to binge-watch it, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and before he knew it, he was here. Looking at Mikasa, whom he had seen while scrolling, but she appeared younger. Looking at his hand, which appeared smaller, he felt strange memories surfacing in his mind.
He realized he had lived the life of Eren Yeager; this was rebirth, but only today did he remember. Then suddenly, he grabbed his head; he saw destruction, death, Titans, and his mother.
"Eren... Eren." Mikasa got on her knees to hold Eren.
Eren felt the pain subside, but at the same time, the vision he saw just now also faded from his memory.
"Mikasa, I am fine." Relaxing his mind, he stood up. He looked around, and then a wall came into his view; it was 50m tall.
A strange feeling flooded his heart, but trying to ignore it, he looked at Mikasa. He might not have seen the anime or read the manga, but he knew she was also a main character with Eren and Armin.
'Damn it, if I knew I was going to be reborn in this world, I would have watched the anime and read the manga in detail.' Eren thought, crying in his mind.
'But it's okay; now I have come to the anime world like those MCs; it's going to be fun.' (A/N: This ' ' will be used for inner thoughts; also, this MC does not understand the horror of this world at all—pretty childish mind, I say.)
"Let's go, Mikasa." Carrying wood on his back, he started walking with a cheerful mood.
'I should have gotten golden fingers, right? Ah, it would have been more fun if this was One Piece or Naruto, though.'
Mikasa looked at Eren, who suddenly gained a cheerful mood, and felt weird. 'He is acting strange today; I should tell Uncle to get him checked.'
Walking together towards home, Eren was telling Mikasa not to tell anyone that he was crying, as it was embarrassing. They saw Hannes and his friends drinking while on duty. He felt an urge to scold them; drinking while on duty is no good, so with a heart of justice written on his back. (N/A: not literally)
"You all, what do you think you are doing, drinking on duty?"
Hannes, who was laughing, looked at Eren with anger on his face, so with a relaxed and teasing tone, he said, "Eren and Mikasa, wanna join?"
"Ah, don't you have work?" Eren said with a hint of confusion and anger in his tone.
"Oh, you know, we are stuck here all day; we end up getting hungr—"
"What if something happens? Can you fight like this with them?" Eren was really getting angry. He knew that this world had Titans and something was bound to happen. Even though he didn't know, at least he knew this: that Titans are bound to attack them.
"Geez, Eren. Don't go yelling like that." A guard who was drinking stood up and came near them.
"You've got something, doctor's son; don't worry, even if something happens, we will handle it."
"But that isn't going to happen; let me tell you, for a hundred years it has been like this."
"Right, these walls are 50m tall; I can't even see them." Hannes suddenly said.
Eren stopped with a shocked face; he understood that these people had become dull and accepted this life. With hands clenched tightly, he felt angry. His anger was not momentary, nor was it directed at these soldiers from the Garrison Regiment. He had this anger inside him since the moment he saw those walls, since he could remember.
"Yes, we can live inside these walls for the rest of our lives, eating, drinking, and sleeping—the same cycle for the rest of our lives with no sense of purpose."
Mikasa and Hannes looked at him with uneasiness in their eyes.
"But what difference does it make? Are we not cattle?"
"HAAHHA," all the other soldiers laughed at these words.
"Hey punk, what can you do? You are just a helpless kid," one soldier, drinking while sitting, said to him.
With a sharp look, Eren started moving. Mikasa followed, and Hannes looked at him worriedly. 'Don't tell me this kid is think—'
"Eren, you should forget the Scout thing." Mikasa said while walking home.
Eren was confused for a moment, but then he remembered that he wanted to join the Scout Regiment. Personally, the Scout Regiment is a job with a high death rate, but it is also the only job that allows exploration of the outside world.
Well, if it was before the awakening of his memory, then he would be happy to join, but now he was confused. Technically, as the protagonist, he should join, but this felt like walking a predetermined path.
So he was waiting for this perk to decide his path. (N/A: Seriously, did this kid not think what if I give him nothing? Such trust, I feel like crying.)
Suddenly, the bell rang, meaning the Scout Regiment had come back from an expedition. Eren was curious about this Scout Regiment, so he thought to check; after all, he might join them.
Mikasa and Eren ran towards where the crowd was gathered. Eren, with a hint of curiosity, ran and stood on a box to see the Scout Regiment. Mikasa also followed his lead.
But what came into their view was despair.
