Nayoko was a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her twenties. She had blonde hair that cascaded down her back and stunning sapphire blue eyes, along with a breathtaking figure.
She was one of the most beautiful and desired women in the world, not only for her appearance but also for who she was.
Nayoko was a renowned archaeologist and a world-famous writer, a genius who had graduated from various Italian universities, her homeland, and had made significant discoveries in world history. One of her most famous achievements was the discovery of the golden city of Uruk, ruled by the Golden King, Gilgamesh.
Uruk was an ancient Mesopotamian city-state that existed about 5,000 years ago, revolutionary for its time, creating many technologies still in use today. Naturally, such a grand place required a king of equal stature.
The one who ruled the city-state was the Golden King.
The First Hero of the World, Gilgamesh.
According to the stories, Gilgamesh was the son of Lulabanga, the former King of Uruk, and the Sumerian Goddess of Healing and Love, Rimatsu-Ninsun. A demigod considered the original model upon which all heroes were based, he was the one who collected all the treasures of the world.
And Nayoko was responsible for writing his story, known as the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Yachi was a Japanese man with slightly messy black hair and crystal-blue eyes.
Yachi was a brilliant doctor and businessman, having graduated from the most prestigious universities in the world, leading one of the largest companies globally.
As a great doctor, he discovered cures for various diseases and even developed artificial intelligence, also being considered one of the most sought-after men in the world.
Yachi and Nayoko met during an expedition, where they fell in love and, a few years later, got married, much to the dismay of many other suitors.
They were ordinary people unaware of the supernatural world, but they would have a very important child.
Tokyo, Japan.
In a hospital in the city of Tokyo, the birth of a being who would change the world was taking place.
Nayoko screamed as the contractions hit again. She was giving birth to her first child, and it wasn't going well. She had been in labor for 13 hours, exhausted and in pain.
Her husband, Yachi, was holding her hand, offering support as usual, but she was so ready for it to be over. Finally, the nurses pulled the baby out, and the contractions stopped.
"Congratulations, it's a boy!" the nurse exclaimed as she handed Nayoko her newborn.
"What shall we name him, darling?" Yachi asked his wife, looking at her and their new son affectionately. She gazed at her son, deep in thought.
"Gilgamesh, his name will be Gilgamesh," Nayoko said with a smile.
Yachi raised an eyebrow at her.
"Seriously?" the man asked his wife.
Nayoko only looked at her husband with such a sweet gaze that it sent shivers down his spine, and even the nurse's.
"Do you have a problem with that, dear?" the woman asked with a very sweet smile.
"No, ma'am. It's an excellent name," the man said, terrified that his wife might kill him right there.
When Gilgamesh opened his eyes for the first time, his new parents were surprised by their color. Instead of the blue they expected from a newborn, his eyes were a crimson red, like blood. His skin was also paler than most Japanese, resembling more European than Eastern features.
This led the doctors (mistakenly) to diagnose him with albinism, reassuring the new parents that it was not an inherently harmful condition and that they only needed to monitor for vision issues. Reassured, they soon took him home happily.
Six years later.
Gilgamesh, or Gil as he was called, grew up as a normal child. The only difference was his creativity and intelligence, far above that of any other child his age.
This was evident in his rapid development. At one year old, he was already walking and starting to say his first words.
His development continued to progress rapidly. By the age of two, he could recite the entire alphabet fluently.
His parents, Yachi and Nayoko, although often away from home due to work, took great care of their son. When they discovered his rapid growth, they didn't hesitate to hire several private tutors to help him.
And so, his growth skyrocketed.
By the age of three, he already knew basic mathematical operations and was beginning to learn more complex ones.
Even with his intensive studies, Gilgamesh's personality remained unchanged, always a very cheerful and playful child who also loved collecting various things and objects, referring to them as treasures.
When he was five, his parents bought a large apartment in Italy for him to live comfortably, complete with many maids and butlers to care for him.
By five years old, his parents dismissed the private tutors, as their son had already acquired enough knowledge to be at a high school level, so they let him enjoy his childhood.
One year later.
7:00 A.M.
Currently, in a large mansion, more precisely in a luxurious bedroom, a small boy could be seen sleeping in his bed.

[Merging memories of the previous owner with the host]

[Assimilation complete]
[Welcome, Host]
My head hurts!
When I open my eyes, I find myself in a large room filled with toys around me, lying in a big bed.
Then, in a flash, all the memories start coming back—the memories of this body and also of the encounter with the goddesses.
Was that really real?!
Did I actually meet the goddesses and reincarnate in the world of DxD?!
Wait, don't get distracted.
I get up and walk to the mirror near the bed.
The first thing I notice is that I'm small.
Very small.
But when I see my appearance, I freeze.
I have golden hair like gold and crimson red eyes like two precious rubies.
I'm a kid Gilgamesh!!
Hmm, looking at the memories of the previous me, I can understand things better.
Well, I didn't know I was a genius at studying.
But my life is pretty amazing.
Thank you, Goddesses!
Wait a second?!
There's one more thing to check.
"System?" I ask myself, though it feels strange.
[Yes, Host?]
This is amazing!!!!
Yes, now it's really amazing!!
[Would you like to start the tutorial, Host?]
[Yes] [No]
Yes, let's start, System!!
[The System has the following functions, Host:

Hmm, I see.

- Lineage: In this option, the Host can purchase various bloodlines, such as Shinigami, Uchiha, God, among others. Each lineage grants the Host unique abilities.
- Shop: In the shop, the Host can purchase any weapon or item they desire, such as Akuma No Mi, Zanpakutou, and Noble Phantasm.
- Skills: In this option, the Host can purchase any existing skill to use as they wish.
I see, that's really very useful.

System, which goddess was Gilgamesh's mother?
[Gilgamesh was born from the union of the King of Uruk, Lulabanga, and the Sumerian Goddess of Healing, also considered a Goddess of Love, Rimat-Ninsun. Thus, the Host can exercise power over these domains.]

- Enhanced Agility
- Enhanced Endurance

At higher levels, users can regenerate not only their cellular tissues but also their DNA, undoing mutations and genetic degradation, as well as maintaining youth by extending telomeres. This also grants immunity to diseases and infections, undoing any unwanted symptoms, and provides a form of self-sustenance, bypassing the need for oxygen and food intake.

My god, these are really a lot of abilities.
But most of them aren't combat-oriented!
Well, they are the abilities of demigods.
System, what's this about passive and active abilities and rarities?
[Abilities are divided into Passive and Active.
- Active: These are abilities geared toward combat or that the Host needs to activate to use.

Abilities are also divided into rarities:

- Mega Rare
- Ultra Rare
- The higher the rarity, the more expensive and powerful the ability.]
I see, that makes a lot of sense.
And the titles, System?

What titles do I have, and what are their effects, System?
[The Titles the Host possesses:

I understand.
But System, what about my abilities from Gilgamesh's lineage?
[The Host must say "Skills"]
Skills.
[List of Host's Skills:

- Description: Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure is the "Golden Capital" that is Gilgamesh's "King's Treasury," and furthermore, the golden key connected to it. His main Noble Phantasm, it is the storehouse that Gilgamesh built to store all the treasures of the world he claimed in life, known as the "Divine Gate." It connects the space of reality to the vault, opening an "invisible door" between dimensions that allows the contents to pass through at the command of its owner. Allowing easy access to the treasury's items, he can choose and use them as he wishes. The Noble Phantasm's rank changes from "E ~ A" due to reflecting the ranks of the treasury's contents. It is a noble phantasm that becomes more powerful with the user's wealth, but it would not be useful without a wealth of valuable items. The weapons appear through golden ripples around the user, and they can be used one at a time or showered upon the enemy. Gilgamesh is known to have collected all the treasures of the world during his lifetime, acquiring a perfect treasury that lacked nothing.

I see, these are all of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms.
Hmm, but by far the main one is [Gate of Babylon].
All the treasures of the world.
Just imagining it makes me happy!
Well, almost all, since even Gilgamesh admitted to not having some, like Karna's Vasavi Shakti and the sheath of Excalibur, Avalon.
