More laughter guaranteed.
"Don't worry! I- Laima- and my sisters Kārta and Dēkla have decided to send you to the paradisiacal world of Highschool DxD!"
... Back when I was just revived, it wasn't Attack on Titan or some other messed-up universe where gruesome death was a constant companion. Although it's been a while since I read or watched DxD, it's a light romance world.
As long as you're not an idiot, surviving comfortably wouldn't be too hard.
... And then the bomb was dropped.
"Hmm ... okay, a bit of technical details before we get to work. These 'alternate stories' like DxD, Warhammer, Harry Potter, etc., etc. ... are static. Their events don't change unless something forces them to change ... like a reincarnated person from another world."
They had that shark-toothed grin once again.
"Here's the deal. We send you to DxD with a plethora of gifts and abilities ... and, in return, you shake things up a bit, disrupt the status quo, and give us something new to watch! Sound good?"
... Suffice to say, even if this was a dream, I wasn't in any particular hurry to wake up.
The DxD world, the land of rampant sex and power, where someone with a slight social misfit issue could thrive?
Sign me up, damn it!
"Okay, so what are these gifts and abilities we're talking about here?"
"Well, to start, we'll provide the basic necessities so you don't waste both our times. A mansion hidden from the world, teleportation circles, and maids, all ready to move into the facilities ... oh, and a training room. Gotta have a training room!"
... Damn, if this was a dream, I really didn't want to wake up!
"So, to your wishes?"
I thought about them for a while until I made up my mind.
"First, I want a system where I can evolve and acquire the most diverse things."
"Hohoho, a system, that's what many people ask for, very well, what's the second?"
"I want the lineage and all the powers of the King of Heroes Gilgamesh."
As soon as I said that, a big smile crossed the women's lips.
"Hohoho, a very interesting request, with that alone you could already place yourself among the strongest in that world."
"It's just that I really like the character," I say, scratching my head.
"So demanding ~! We like it! And your final gift before we send you on your way?"
"I want a Longinus Sacred Gear."
"I see. So, if you don't mind, we'll choose one for you."
I nod. After all, they're already giving me this opportunity.
"Okay, if it's settled, we'll start the process. You'll arrive a few years early, to have time to get used to your powers - and convince yourself this isn't a dream - and for some other tasks."
I offered a crooked smile and replied, "Well, if this turns out to be real ... then you have my sincere thanks for this, goddess ladies. I foresee some fun times ahead!"
The final laugh that marked our first and last meeting together had an extraordinarily perverted tone.
"Oh, before we forget! We made some ... changes to things we think you'll like. Have fun ~!"
I didn't get a chance to ask what that meant before falling backward and on my way to the best moment of my New Life.
