"Ummm, where am I? Why is it so dark in here?" Akira woke up to find himself in a very dark room.
There was no light in the room, and Akira felt like he didn't recognize where he was.
He remembered that he had fallen asleep after watching his favorite anime after work.
Then suddenly, he was in this unfamiliar place. But just as his doubts were growing, a voice rang out.
(You're lucky...you're the chosen one!!) The voice echoed through the room.
"Ehhh, who are you? And show yourself?" Akira, startled by the voice, immediately responded and requested the presence of the person speaking.
(No need to panic, you're at the crossroads between the realms of life and death. Based on your life history, you shouldn't have died yet, so I'll give you a reward as compensation for this accident.) The voice rang out again, explaining to Akira where he was and why he'd been brought there.
"What do you mean, I'm at a crossroads and listening to your explanation, am I dead now?" Akira was naturally shocked by what the voice said. He couldn't believe that he was clearly healthy before, so why would he suddenly be here and dead?
But then, when he realized that he actually felt like he was floating in the room, Akira somehow began to believe the voice.
(Yes, how should I put it? You were accidentally struck by lightning while you were sleeping in your room, and it was done by an angel fighting a demon. Because of the accidental impact, your soul escaped your body, and that literally resulted in your death.) Once again, the voice told Akira the reason why he was in that place, and the truth behind his death.
"I died, struck by lightning while I was asleep!!! And it was because of a battle between an angel and a demon!! What a tragic fate, isn't it!!" Feeling sad and unhappy with this reality, Akira then remembered that it seemed he would receive compensation for this undeserved event.
"Okay... I've accepted it, now tell me what compensation you promised?" Akira asked again.
(Seeing your good attitude in dealing with fate, you will be given a better reward. Then I will grant you three wishes, and they are free as long as they are within my control.) The voice sounded again.
"Three free wishes... okay, let me think about it for a moment..."
After a moment of thought, Akira then revealed his wish.
First, I wish to be given the ability to be reborn in any anime world I desire. Is that possible?" Akira asked. He wanted this because before he died, he watched several anime, so he had a wish that was previously impossible, now seemed possible.
(Can you please name the anime world you wish for?) the voice asked.
"The world I want is the anime world of High School DxD," Akira replied.
(Okay, that's arranged, and you will be given a good start.) the voice replied.
"Next, I want to have a body and mind that is stronger and better than most humans, as for how much improvement that is, I leave it to you," Akira replied again.
(Ok, that has also been arranged, regarding how much... you will receive an increase of 3 times the physical ability of the average human there, and can be optimized as long as you practice) the voice answered again.
"Next, I want to get a system that helps me live there, and that system allows me to go to other worlds" Akira again mentioned his third request.
(Ok, that has also been granted, you will get a system that suits your condition) Reply to the voice.
"Okay, thank you for your help, I feel happy" Akira, who had been granted his request, felt happy and grateful in his heart, even though he had misfortune at the beginning, in the end he was positive and got good things in the end.
(You still like to be grateful, that's a good thing, in addition to the gratitude you have, I will add your last wish, what do you want to be like in your new world, is it like now or do you want to make some changes, before I send you there?) Asked the voice again.
" There's an additional gift, that's amazing ... wait a minute !!! let me think, I want my body to be strong and muscular but small and strong muscles not muscles like bodybuilders, then my height is 180 cm with a handsome face between Asian and European, my hair is short with a brownish blonde color, and my eyes are blue like the ocean, and my voice wants to be charming and dignified," Akira stated his request.
(Okay, that's it, I'll send you to your new world.) The voice sounded again.
"Thank you, but before that, may I know who you are before I go?" Akira finally asked the voice's identity.
(I am just one of the high-ranking angels sent to guard many worlds. If you are lucky and blessed, perhaps you will meet me again.) The voice replied.
"Ohhh... you are an angel..." Akira's voice broke off.
######
In a multi-story house on a remote hill, a handsome young man was seen lying on a bed in a spacious room.
The young man had a handsome face, short brownish-blonde hair, and his skin was a healthy shade of wheat.
"Umm... where am I!!" Akira woke up and found himself in an unfamiliar place.
A second later, memories of his conversation with the angel returned to his mind.
Memories of his new life also immediately surfaced.
His name in this world is also Akira. He is a wealthy orphan whose parents died just a month ago.
Akira inherited a considerable fortune in his current life and is a freshman at a high school in Kuoh Town.
More specifically, he was accepted into the school owned by Rias and Sona's family.
But there's still about a month before the first day of school starts.
"I don't need to work anymore. With the inheritance my parents left me in this world, I can quite enjoy life.
I currently live in a multi-story house of over 500 square meters, with a total area of thousands of hectares, filled with fruit orchards such as apples, grapes, and pears.
There's also a small mini-farm inside, home to several cows, horses, sheep, chickens, and ducks.
There are 20-50 workers working throughout the farm, with three maids currently serving me at home.
In addition, there are several properties, such as apartments in Kuoh Town, Kyoto, Tokyo, and several other cities in Japan.
Additionally, there are several convenience stores, food stores, and restaurants scattered throughout Japan.
This is practically abundant wealth, and Akira recalled his savings worth billions of yen and several additional properties overseas.
Making Akira practically second-generation rich.
"Ohhh...this is a very good start, truly a blessing in disguise," Akira said happily about his new life.
#######
The next day, after showering Akira looked in the mirror, revealing a young and handsome figure with a charming smile.
"Look at my face... it's better than Hollywood stars and world-famous models. With this alone, I'm already very good.
And my six-pack and strong muscles make me feel even more like Good.
Oh... I almost forgot my charming voice, which is also something special...
Hahahah... I'm so satisfied... now... my status display system!

"That's a pretty good status, what's the system's function?" "What's a dimensional space besides storing objects and living things?" Akira asked after realizing that the space he'd acquired from the system seemed to have another, hidden function.
This was because when Akira tried to store objects and living things, everything seemed to fit, but when he put a living thing into his space, it didn't.
The living thing became static and still, or in other words, fell into a coma, and only returned to normal when he removed it.
After experimenting with small animals around his house, Akira finally felt safe and put one of his maids into his space.
He found that his maid was fine and safe.
The flow of time was completely disconnected from the flow of time in the world, meaning that no matter how long the objects or living things were stored in the space, they remained in the same state as when he first put them in.
This made Akira quite happy because his space had such flexible functions and could store many things.
He carefully stored his belongings and food, considering the potential emergencies that could occur in the current world.
Akira felt he had found something very good, especially since the range of objects that could be placed in his space was about 10 meters from his position.
In other words, as long as the object or living creature was within 10 meters of his position, he would be able to place it automatically.
However, after some experimentation, Akira realized that there was a special condition that existed in his space when he placed many items and living creatures for experiments.
A message read [Special creature has not been discovered and the space upgrade has not been completed].
Yes, Akira discovered that his space could be upgraded, but it required a special creature to be stored inside. As for what that was, Akira didn't know and asked the system, but it didn't give him anything useful.
[Please find the special creature and the space will be upgraded], only the same answer kept repeating itself.
"Okay... okay... I'll look for that special creature, but what kind of special creature in this world needs to be placed in the space to upgrade it!!" Akira wondered.
As for why Akira wanted to upgrade his space, it was because the system had told him that there would be a special reward when the space within the system was successfully upgraded.
And Akira didn't receive the usual beginner's reward that those who successfully awaken the system received.
"Knock, knock... sir... there's an emergency!" A rapid knocking sound came from outside his room.
Hearing this, Akira immediately turned his attention and opened the door.
"What's wrong, Cindy? Why are you screaming?" Akira asked as he looked at Cindy knocking on his door.
Cindy was a pretty, 20-year-old waitress.
"There's an urgent report from the patrol officers near the lake in the apple orchard area, and they're asking you to come check it out," Cindy replied quickly.
"What urgent report?" Akira felt confused and asked as he walked out of his house to meet the person who discovered it.
