A Hero (with some help)

The champion of a fantasy world

Chapter 1 by shadedrakon shadedrakon

"Again, we are sorry for pulling you out of such a brilliant life early. But that is past fixing now."

The figure that looms before you is powerful and terrifying, but that doesn't stop you from being incredibly pissed. You want your life back.

"Your next life is bound to be a good one, hence the excitement that led to us mismanaging inter-dimensional timelines, pulling you off of Earth sixty-nine years early and putting you on Anglsea nineteen years late. As compensation, we have improved your next life considerably. As is customary, to avoid your mortal memory overflowing, your memory of the last life, as well as this conversation, will be erased to make room for the new."

No! No-Wait! Your vision begins to fade. You... want...


You blink your eyes open. A pretty face comes into view as you blink the spots away.

You sit up. "Where... where am I?"

They - she? - grins. "A completely new world! Which is brilliant! And probably confusing, but mostly brilliant. This is a really cool planet."

"And why am I on this new planet?"

"A long and unusual story which is, frankly, irrelevant. I'd rather avoid an existential crisis, so I'll tell you later if you want. But you get perks!" she squeals. You're just going to think of her as female until proven otherwise, you can still barely see.

"Explain, please."

"Hmm. Where to start?" she ponders, tapping her chin.

- Cheats
Futuristic
You have access to and knowledge of technology from the far, far, future. It will be difficult to build but powerful once finished.
Mana Soul
Your lifespan is determined by your mana pool. The larger the mana pool, the longer a life. A level 1 mana pool gives you a lifespan of 85 years. Your mana pool can be boosted by some familiars as well. Remember, you were reincarnated as a 19 year old!
You retain peak physical condition and youth your entire life.

- Extra Classes
Makar
You are a craftsman, forger, builder, engineer, programmer, alchemist, and artificer. You can increase your level in all class to Legendary levels, which most heroes can only achieve in one class.
Summoner
By using mass amounts of mana you can upgrade a Soul Bind. When you are happy with a Soul Bind's stats and abilities, you can summon a Familiar that fits that description and bind them to you, spending the Soul Bind. Leveling this class increases the amount of options when upgrading Soul Binds, increases what how a familiar can be upgraded afterwards, and increases the max amount of familiars you can have.

- Abilities
Quick Learn
Touching any receptacle of knowledge, such as a tome or computer, will grant you a detailed understanding of its contents, even if the writing is not in your language.
Creature King
By touching any animal in the chosen category whose (Level-Liking*) is lower than your Level and is not currently fighting you deem them your familiar. Familiars keep their original stats, but their intelligence is boosted, you can communicate telepathically with them, and they obey your orders.
Chosen Category: Unchosen (Suggested: Serpents)

- Passives
Guardian of Knowledge
You have a perfect memory, capable of sorting and recalling every event that's happened to you and everything you've ever learned. This pairs with Quick Learn.
Low-elf blood
You heal as if you were part lower-elf. All wounds slowly heal after being inflicted, even if to the standard being they would gradually worsen until ****. Healing still speeds up the process. Negative effects such as POISON and BURN are also naturally removed but over long periods of time.
Soul Diplomat
You are aware of Lars and Nature Spirits. You can give them offerings, barter with them, and treat their territory well and most will grant you small conveniences or tips when you are in their territory.

- Familiars
Starting Familiar: Wren
You will have a lifelong human companion named Wren. They are tied to your soul and tasked with helping and guiding you. Your personalities will be designed to match perfectly. They have no special powers besides being invulnerable while you are alive and being able to turn into birds, so they must choose roles and level up as normal beings do.
This familiar will usually be closer to a friend or lover than servant or
