A Berserker Reborn

Inside a dark and cold cellar, a man could be seen hanging by his hands, which were tied with ropes thick enough that no ordinary man could break out from.

Blood dripped onto the dirty and wet brick floors, and the smell of iron filled the air as blood flowed out from the wound on the man's chest.

The wound was a stab wound, and it was deep enough that you could see the lungs exposed to the air and a deep cut into the lung with fresh blood collecting inside the lung.

"W-what should I do? If lord mayor finds out, I am dead!"

A fat and bald man with sweat sliding down his body, muttered with fear as his hands trembled, dropping a blood-coated dagger, the man stumbled back.

The fat man turned around, and in a hurry he tried to wipe his hand as he looked around the cellar, looking for anything that he could blame, to maybe save his life.

Among the rockus of the fat man trying to find any reason so that he could be spared by the Mayor, the man hung on the ropes trembling ever so slightly.

"W-where am I?"

A trembling voice managed to squeeze through the bloodied mouth of the man who was hung by his hands, blood flowed out from his mouth, dripping down his chin and onto his chest.

Opening his eyes with difficulty, his unfocused vision managed to see red, the man saw the gaping hole in his chest, and the blood running down his body, its vibrant colour filling his vision with dread.

"N-no way... That truck was actually not joking... I am finished"

The man muttered under his sore voice, his eyes were filled with dread and despair as he hung by the ropes, he was not Guts after all, he was just a teen that angered a god.

With a single curse word at a truck driving past, splashing water from the roadside at his legs, the truck turned around almost instantly and smashed into him with a loud roar.

He was then told that he would be sent into the world of Berserk, where Guts was killed accidentally, and then he would take that dead body, becoming Guts along with all the curses...

He was allowed to gain one single ability, but just to make sure that he ended up even worse, the truck made him spin a wheel for it, and it had billions of abilities, with 99% being skills like singing and cooking.

He despaired at the sight, but in the end with shaking hands, he spun the wheel with everything he could, but that damned truck did not even let him know what he got.

"How am I supposed to survive if I don't know what my damn ability is?"

The man, or rather Guts now, muttered as the wounds on his body remained, but the lungs were magically healed, leaving only the other wounds on his body.

"The truck must have done this..."

As if to look down on him even more, on the rainless and cloudless sky, a sudden thunderbolt was made, and it struck down on the ropes binding his hands.

"Arghhh!!"

With a blood-curdling scream, the ropes were destroyed, but in the process, Guts' hands were electrocuted along with his entire body.

The electricity caught onto the blood on his body, and with cruel cackles, the lightning ran back and forth on his body, the wound on his chest was scorched with the volts.

Guts fell onto the blood-covered ground, the sound and scream caught the attention of the fat man, and he looked back in fear as he saw the scene of Guts falling onto the ground.

"You are alive! That is impossible... "

Guts ignored the fat man, and instead, he curled up on the ground as the pain in his mind was too much, he started breathing in heavily, anxiety crushing down on his soul.

He was just a teen, now in this body covered with wounds, how is he supposed to take this casually?

He couldn't.

The only thing he could do was lay there trembling as the residue electricity ran rampant in his body and bloodstream, it was worse than death for Guts.

The door to the cellar suddenly opened with a creak, and an old man in white clothes entered, with 2 guards following from behind, with weapons.

The old man looked at a table that was full of weapons, a crossbow and small throwing knives, along with a huge sword that was more like a chunk of sharp iron.

Guts by now stopped trembling as he came to terms with what had happened, his mind was broken from the pain, and the only thing that was going through his head was pain.

His face was frozen in an almost eternal-like blank look, his eyes were dark and without a trace of light, almost as if it was made of black holes.

Guts heard the sound of steps, and he trembled as his weak body sat up from the ground, his body coated in his own blood.

The mayor arrived in front of Guts, and he looked down at him with slight anger, but more fear itself.

"Do you have any idea what you have done?"

The mayor began, Guts looked up and he just listened since he did not have a way to defend himself against those guards.

"Because you killed those men, this village could be killed!"

The mayor said in a loud and shaky voice, almost like he was already dead, and facing something similar to a monster.

"That thing is no human! He will kill this whole village!"

The mayor continued, but his anger started dimming once he realised that Guts was no longer listening, in fact, he was not listening at all since he was just a blank paper currently.

"Tie him up and don't let him run!"

The mayor said, and the fat bald man immediately got to work by tying Guts with iron cuffs, the mayor turned around and walked off with the guards following him.

Guts sat against the cell wall, his mind trying to process what had just happened, he did manage to finally come to terms with his situation, but it was hours later.

The sky turned dark outside, and the moonlight shone through the window at Gut's face, his eyes now regained clarity and a small amount of light.;

And in that instance, a wretched-like being the size of a baby appeared on the ground in front of Guts, it was disgusting, and Guts reeled back, still not used to the supernatural.

The wretched baby looked at Guts, and then a small splash was heard, distracting Guts who looked at the sound, revealing a small human, or fairy the size of his palm.

Guts recognised the fairy as Puck, the small fairy turned to Guts as he stuck his tongue in disgust out, he fell into a pool of piss after all.

"Wow, they really did torture you up, but don't worry since I have brought the guards keys!"

Puck struggled slightly to lift the keys, but he managed to fly up with his small wings, going towards Guts.

"Let me see your injuries"

Puck asked as he floated down next to Guts, his expression turned concerned as he noticed the hole in his chest, allowing him to see inside his rib cage.

Puck stretched his hand out, and his body started glowing as small white orbs manifested upon Gut's body, the pain in his body slowly started to fade away.

The lashes on his body faded, and the hole in his chest closed, but it left behind a scar that would remain on his body for the far future.

"What's your name?"

Puck looked up in surprise as he heard the voice of Guts, but he welcomed the change as he answered with his name.

"My name is Puck, and what's yours?"

Puck asked Guts looked at the small fairy, and he thought about his name before, before he decided to take the name of this body.

"My name is Guts"
