He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

Author: Falling Rain Pillow Book

My name is Rorschach, a man of absolute loyalty to the Emperor.

An accident sent me to time travel!

Good news! I've been transported to a world of swords and magic, wizards and knights, dwarves and elves. And this world also has a supreme god, and a demon god seated high on his throne!

But the bad news is! This isn't the sacred Terra that Rorschach so desperately wanted to protect with his life!

"Chovy! You should have dressed properly for me when you transmigrated!"

"I want to be a Space Marine, I want to be an Astartes! Who wants to be a knight?!"

Welcome to Warhammer 40

[I must say, you are truly a lucky one. Your absolute loyalty caught the Emperor's attention, and after his death, he summoned you to the world of Warhammer 40.]

This is a world filled with the roar of chainswords, the tremors of psionic energy, interstellar wars, and the rampage of warp gods!

[That sounds dangerous, doesn't it!]

So if you want to save your life, then strive to become an Astartes!

"Huh? Is your system legitimate?"

[My God! The wicked Slaanesh has escaped from the Warp! And you, a warrior of Astartes bearing the weight of loyalty and honor, defeat her! Let the Emperor witness your loyalty!]

[Mission Rewards: Ultramariner Gene Potion x1, Emperor Honor Points x800, Increased resistance to Slaanesh demons.]

Luo Xia swallowed hard as he looked at the exotic black-stockinged witch crawling beneath him.

"Who said this system is lame! This system is absolutely amazing!"

Chapter 1 Loyalty Beyond Words

Are you truly loyal to the Emperor?

"Of course! I am an absolutely loyal person! Even if the emperor made me sit on a golden toilet, I wouldn't even flinch!"

"But you hesitated just now!"

"Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty!"

"Hmph! Don't underestimate my loyalty! If the great emperor agrees, I am willing to be transported to that world of swords and magic after my death!"

drop!Drip!

boom!

……

It was cold, but not shivering.

"Hiss, what did I do with this?"

Luo Xia rubbed his aching head and sat up in bed, feeling that every bone in his body was aching.

All he remembered was that he and his best friend were staying up all night in a virtual internet cafe to play Warhammer 40: Slaanesh's Chosen, the latest game released by the virtual reality company.

Perhaps due to staying up late for a long time, Luo Xia vaguely saw a red east wind rushing into the scene.

The next moment, I found myself here.

Luo Xia looked at the bandages wrapped around his body and then at the room he was in, quite puzzled.

He remembered that the hospitals in his own city didn't have such a retro style.

The next moment, a sharp pain shot through Luo Xia's head, and a flood of fragmented memories that did not belong to him rushed into his mind.

"Rorschach Frost, a native of Adelaide, Byron County, Holy Empire, the illegitimate son of Baron Frost..."

"He's also named Rorschach?"

As more and more memories flooded his mind, Luo Xia finally understood the situation.

Bad news, he time-traveled!

And they were transported to a world of swords and magic, wizards and knights, dwarves and elves!

Moreover, this world also has supreme gods, as well as incredibly evil demons who sit high on their thrones!

But the good news is!

This is NOT the sacred Terra that Rorschach so desperately wanted to protect with his life!

"I'm super awesome!"

"What are you all doing? Get dressed properly before you time-travel!"

"I want to be a Space Marine! I want to be an Astartes! Who wants to be a knight?!"

Rorschach, having figured out the situation, was also on the verge of tears.

If, after transmigrating, one cannot remain loyal to the sacred Emperor's Hook, then...

"that is really good!"

When they realized they had actually traveled to a world of swords and magic, and not Warhammer Terra.

Luo Xia also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

Ultimately, loyalty to the emperor is just lip service.

Surely no one would actually abandon a world of swords and magic to go to a world of chainsaw swords and warp magic, right?

No way, no way!

Does anyone really want to go to that damned Warhammer world and offer their so-called loyalty to the half-dead Corpse King on the Golden Throne?

In the world of swords and magic, animal-eared girls and elf girls are no longer appealing.

Or are you a born masochist, wanting to undergo those nineteen genetic modifications with extremely low survival rates? And then swing a giant hammer at greenskins and undead?

"Watch your words, watch your words. You can't make jokes like that anymore. If I really get transported to Warhammer, who am I going to complain to?"

Luo Xia was also filled with lingering fear at this moment.

If it weren't for the fact that the memories I'm receiving right now don't contain any subspace contamination or the Emperor's sacred hook!

He really thought he had traveled to Warhammer Terra!

Because in this world, the country where Rorschach lives is actually the Holy Empire? And his own family even worships some kind of god of war?

Is this absurd? Could it be that the Emperor and Khorne were talking about something?

The reason Rorschach fell into a coma was because he had participated in the Blood Ritual organized by the Church of War three days earlier.

Because as long as one can successfully undergo the baptism of blood in the Blood Ritual and please the great god of war, one will receive the reward of the Church of War.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate their faith in the god of war, the nobles also sent their children to hunt a powerful demon ape raised by the Church of War!

Unfortunately, Rorschach was one of them.

And because of his mediocre strength, he was knocked away by the powerful demonic ape that was running at high speed, and then he lost consciousness.

"Hiss, we're in the same boat after all!"

When Luo Xia saw the powerful demonic ape with red fur in his memory, he wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

He thought it was Master Yuan who had arrived!

"Master! Young Master Luo Xia is awake!"

Just as Luo Xia was still marveling at how magical the world he had transmigrated to was...

A maid opened the door and exclaimed in surprise when she saw Rorschach sitting up.

Seeing this, Rorschach also looked in the direction of the sound.

Immediately, a very wealthy-looking, composed middle-aged man strode into the house.

The other person had a slightly thick neck and a slightly protruding belly. He wore a dark brown fitted robe with dark patterns, and his heavy leather boots made a clattering sound as they stepped on the stone slabs.

When he stood before Rorschach, an imposing aura emanated from him.

Gareth Frost, Rorschach's adoptive father.

"Ha, no wonder he's my son, he's really lucky to be alive."

Garethon looked at Rosário and, seeing that he was in high spirits and in exceptionally good condition, nodded in satisfaction.

It seems my money wasn't wasted; it really did save Rorschach from hell.

"Now that you've recovered, you should prepare to go to the War Knight Academy."

After all, this was an opportunity you risked your life for.

As Garethson spoke, he looked at Rorschach with considerable satisfaction.

Although he didn't particularly like this illegitimate child, the boy's courage during the Blood Ritual had successfully pleased the God of War.

As Rorschach's father, Garethson also gained considerable prestige among other nobles and received a reward from the Church of War.

"War Knight Academy?"

Upon hearing his adoptive father's words, Luo Xia remembered the reason for the Blood Ritual.

That is to select promising knights from among them to enter the War Knight Academy.

As one of the five major religions of the Holy Empire, the Church of War has established numerous War Knight Academies throughout the empire to train war knights belonging to the church!

"Knights are the most numerous extraordinary profession in the Holy Empire, and they are also the main means of conquering the Abyss Rift."

Luo Xia recalled the information in his mind and felt a surge of joy.

While it's true that if you were to travel to the Warhammer world and undergo nineteen modifications to become the great Imperial Angel, there's nothing wrong with that.

But in a world of swords and magic, wouldn't it be much more liberating to become a knight with extraordinary abilities?
