After being shot dead in my face,

I've been reborn in a new place!

Where magic reigns and monsters roar!

I've never seen the like before!

It's time to kiss the Earth goodbye,

Now that I'm in an Isekai!

That's what's up, for real, true facts.

Need more proof? I'm now an axe!

_

An axe you say? How can that be?

How should I know, dude? Don't ask me!

But since I'm here I'll have some fun,

And make life great for everyone!

_

There's lots of nifty sights to see,

And new friends to accompany!

And loads of meat to cleave and chop,

they'll scream and plead for me to stop!

But sadly, that I cannot do,

This axe is coming after you!

_

I'll wander 'round and see the sights,

And get into some awesome fights,

My rep will soar, I'll drown in fame,

The common folks will scream my name!

"Quick, run away! Here comes the AXE!"

Hey, guys! It's me!

Your best friend, Max!
