《Gilgamesh In DxD》Chapter 1
Advertisement
So let me tell you the best thing that ever happened to me.
I died.
Strange, right? Before I even graduated from high school, and funniest of all things, a thunderbolt that had ended my life. I didn't even have a chance to defend myself, I just got hit when I was sleeping, I remember waking up disoriented and with a big headache, and after that I found I was dead.
I can't decide if I'm glad it wasn't a car that killed me... so, considering my usual behavior, dying in a way completely contrary to most reincarnation stories seems perfectly characteristic...
I beg to differ, the moment I finally shuffled my deadly serpent, I found myself alone, walking across green fields with the sun on my face...and no Russell Crowe to be my spirit guide, but it's too bad.
Instead, I shrugged and kept walking, wondering if this was the afterlife…well, it was a little boring, but not horrible or anything.
Or maybe it was just the purgatory I ended up in...
"No, not purgatory. More like Universes waiting room."
I had turned, half-scared for another death...and blinked in surprise at the sight that greeted me.
Three extremely beautiful women, all with curly brown hair and immaculate white dresses…and smiles that suggested they had a Royal Flush after everyone else entered.
"Uhh...hello?"
I think I can be forgiven for not being the most verbose person after dying, something the three women agreed with while they all laughed like I was an ordinary comedian.
"Hello young man and welcome to the start of your new life!"
That got some confused blinks from me.
"... Reincarnation?"
"Hey you did it! This is better than most people..."
"Well, to be totally fair, I'm still not totally convinced that this isn't some kind of psychological hallucination brought on by overdue food and a late night."

They did that laughing laugh again like the protagonist who spoke happily: "Well, don't worry, we're as real as possible! Now let's get down to business! I think you'll be happy to hear that, since way died in a completely random way , his soul was at stake and we were the ones who grabbed her! "
"...Yay?"
"Oh, relax, yeah? Just be glad you didn't end up in Ares or some other idiot domain, THEY like to send people to Warhammer 40K. Ick!"
I vaguely remember a state of complete and utter bewilderment, but the idiot side of my brain, which was somehow understanding what the woman was telling me, replied, "Wait, so it's not technically reincarnation, but putting people into other worlds? i'm not putting myself in something horrible... "
More laughter ensued.
"Don't worry! I- Laima- and my sisters Kārta and Dēkla have decided to send you to the heavenly world of Highschool DxD!"
... By the time I'd just been revived, it hadn't been Attack on Titan or some other fucked-up universe where horrible death was a constant companion. Although it's been awhile since I've read or watched DxD, it's a world of light romance.
As long as you're not an idiot, surviving comfortably wouldn't be too difficult.
... And then the bomb was dropped.
"Hmm...ok, a little bit of technical details before we get down to business. Those 'altering stories' like DxD, Warhammer, Harry Potter etc etc... are static. Your events don't change unless something forces you to them change ... like a person reincarnated from another world. "
They had that card shark smile once more.
"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, upset the status quo and give us something new to watch! Sound good?"

... Suffice it to say that, even though things had been a dream, I wasn't in any particular rush to wake up.
The world of DxD, the land of unbridled sex and power, where someone with a slight problem of social maladjustment could thrive?
Sign me the fuck up!
"Okay, so what are these gifts and abilities we're talking about here?"
Well, for starters, we'll provide the basic necessities so you don't waste our two times. A mansion hidden from the world, teleportion circles and maids, all ready to enter the facility...oh, and a training room. to have a training room! "
... Shit, if this had been a dream, I really didn't want to wake up!
"Then 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 a lot of people ask for, very well, what's the second?"
"I want the bloodline and all the powers of the King of Heroes Gilgamesh"
As soon as I said that a big one passed the women's lips.
"Hohoho, a very interesting request, just with that you could put yourself among one of the strongest in the world."
"It's just that I like the character a lot." 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 pick one for you."
I nod my head. After all, they are already giving me this opportunity.
"Okay, if that's right, we'll start the process. You'll be arriving a few years early, so you have time to get used to your powers - and convince yourself that this isn't a dream - and for some other tasks."
I had offered a crooked smile and replied, "Well, if that turns out to be reality...then you have my sincere thanks for it, Miss Goddesses. I foresee fun times ahead!"
The final laugh that marked our first and last meeting together had an extraordinarily perverted tone.
"Oh, before we forget! We've made some... changes to the things we think you'll like. Have fun~!"
I didn't get a chance to ask what that meant before falling back on my way to the best moment in my New Life.

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich.

Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long.
