I'm worried about refusing to pick up arms

[N2O]

It's obligatory. I don't want to engage in anything that is an end to harm someone else. I'm also scared to die on the frontline. If I refuse, then I'll be locked up in prison for up to 4 years. Idk how I would restart my life after

Maybe look into non-combat positions for a conscientious objector? Not all who serve end up on the front lines and there is always a need for supply, office workers, cooks, and the like. Accept the training as something towards building skills of various types. Physical strength, team work, technology, etc.
Serving your country in the military is never easy, and will most certainly change you in many ways. Understand that while things won't be the same for you after, you don't have to give up everything you are because of it.
I know someone who was looking to go into EOD and had zero plans to live to 30, preferring to die young. Things didn't go that route, they saw things that really strained their ability to cope, seriously considered self-end, and was drinking like crazy to cope. They fortunately had family and friends who helped them and backed them getting professional help. They re-upped their enlistment and have worked up to being an Officer now, planning on doing their 20years and maybe more.
OF course it depends on the military, but sometimes you can find yourself in life by doing something you lose yourself in. Perspective requires experience, not all of which is good.
I wish you well on your journey, friend.

A non-combat position would be ideal.. I'm a coward, plain and simple. If I were to be forced to do service, then I would insist it'd be on the back-lines. Take it or leave it. If we go officially into war, then I'd fast-track onto the officer university and try to get a high level job, just so that I wouldn't have to fight directly..

Would you say that you were forced into military? Or you just happened onto it

If it is compulsory service of your country just think that you're simply fulfilling a duty and instead of wasting some years in prison you're going to get forcefully fit. Of course you'll go through the basics as any other soldier, but if you prove your worthness elsewhere changes are lower to engage in actual combat. Be the cook, a paramedic, a mechanic, a translator, etc. not everything involves picking up a weapon, and if it's some kind of conscription you can still try this. Like The Maverick mentioned, if it is possible to be a conscientious objector all these options will be easier. I don't know how it works on your country but here the army provides free education in many areas and getting a degree it's not only academic and professional prospects but also a merit to go up in your promotion.

The others have said as well but I wanna add, better to learn some basic stuff and probably get to use the skill you acquired there to run away in case shit hits the fan with your country and they are calling the reservist.Better to learn in peace time rather than picked up off the street and sent to the front after not even a week of "training".
