Flipped
A dark wave of monsters spilled out from the forest treeline, kicking up a dense cloud of dust that cast a shadow upon the land. At the city gates the royal army stood in a tight formation, their shields overlapped to create a stable defense wall, though underneath them some legs could be seen shaking. A select group of knights held the vanguard gazing at the approaching beasts, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
Amongst the knights was Reid.

Flashback: Three Years Ago.
---
Reid came to this world after being hit by a car while crossing the road. One moment it was screeching tires against the road and the next he found himself in a grassy plain face to face with a horned rabbit. The rabbit didn't give him time to think as it channeled mana at the top of its horn and shot a fire ball at him. However, purely out of instinct, Reid dodged the attack and drove a kick at the rabbit's head, killing it on the spot.
_Clap, clap, clap!_
"Impressive, boy where did you learn to move like that?" A voice suddenly came from behind, and Reid turned around in fright that he jumped a small distance back creating a gap between him and the newcomer.
The man raised an eyebrow, and grinned at him before he said. "Good. How would you like to become a Knight of Gebdin?"
Reid eyebrows came together as he looked at the man in contemplation, _'**knight of gebdin?** What the fuck is that? But then again I've nothing to lose and he doesn't seem like a bad guy, so...'_
"Ok," he replied abruptly.
From that day on Reid joined the knights and there he discovered his talent with the sword.

Back To The Present

_Now it's time to show my power._
*Sigh* a sigh escaped his lips as he looked at the approaching beast horde.
"You're not regretting this are you?" Fig asked with a teasing grin. Fig was a bulky man with a knife scar that looked like a tear trailed down his cheeks for eternity.
"No, not at all, in fact I have been waiting for this opportunity," Reid replied with a firm tone.
"Ok, then what's with the sigh?" a sharp-eyed lady, Sandia, asked curiously.
Reid chuckled, "It's just that... their numbers are too small."
Hearing this the knights go silent leaving only the rumbling noise of the beasts approaching playing in the air.
"Hahaha, that's more like it. You hear that boys, a true knight can never have eno..., ouch!" Fig burst out in laughter and said but, before he could finish Sandia whacked his head with the sheath of her blade, "who are you calling boy?" she said her voice carrying an icy chill.
"I wasn't... I didn't mean you," Fig muttered, his booming voice instantly shrinking to a timid whine, causing everyone to burst out laughing.
Then a cold voice cut in.
"Enough games, time to get serious. Knights of Gebdin, charge!!!" he commanded.
With that the figures of the knights blurred and the next moment they clashed with the beast horde. It didn't take long before everyone was drenched in blood and gore, well everyone except for Sandia, who danced around, piling up beast corpses yet there was no stain on her or anything within the length of her blade.
Reid, slashed, hacked and pierced moving through the beast hoard, and wherever he went beast corpses dropped and blood sprayed the air.
He grinned, _now this is the life._

Meanwhile, in a mental health institute, Reid could be seen seated on a chair madly waving a plastic pipe in the air.
"Doctor, is Reid going to recover?" a concerned woman asked.
"I'm afraid his brain was damaged beyond what we can save, the only thing we can do now is wait, and hope for a miracle," the doctor replied with a heavy tone.
