All rights go to the creator of Danmachi

Yep, that's right, I live in the US. That also means I have Donald Trump as my President. I know right, terrifying. And the next president is a racist pedophile.

Have mercy on me. PLEASE.

Anyways, back on topic.

I was sitting on my couch (couch is life) and on my laptop. I just finished catching up to the Kingdom manga (goated btw) and I was pretty damn bored. So I decided to read some fanfics on the net.

I came across some Danmachi self-inserts. I was never a big fan, I only watched the first two seasons.

That reminds me.

I should watch season 3 soon but before that, lemme read some fics on it.

Im a sucker for self-inserts. Im the type of guy that likes an op main character after all.

For the whole day, I was reading these damn fics.

It was 2 AM in the morning, the sun wouldn't be up for hours.

Yet I was not asleep, instead, I was still reading these damn fics.

Alright, that's enough, I should stop reading.

I closed my phone and was about to put it away but then I flinched. I couldn't breathe. I opened my mouth wide open to see if I was able to inhale. That failed. I got up from my bed (aka my couch) and tried going to the bathroom to see myself in the mirror, but that was too much of a struggle and instead, I earned against the door. I was sliding down until my ass was on the floor.

I couldn't fucking breathe. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!

This happened once before back when I was younger. I literally did the same thing as I did now. But after a while, I was able to breathe.

I had hoped it was nothing major and things would go back to normal like that other time.

But I had no such luck.

If I was going to die, I thought Covid would be the cause.

Well, it looks like it'll be of heart failure or something. I don't really know the specifics. I am just a teen after all.

Tears came out of my eyes.

Fuck this!!!!!!! You're telling me I'm not going to live to see the end of One Piece. Nah, GTFO!!! I ain't dying like this. Im just a damn weeb for fucksake. The hell did I do.

Cursing my heart out didn't work and eventually.........I passed.

A dark space was surrounding me.

Oh right, now I get to see if the afterlife is real.

Well, at least that's a plus. Now I can laugh at my dad for forcing me to believe his religious bs.

Then a figure approached me.

It was an old man in a suit.

Me- The fuck are you. Don't tell me God is real.

Fuck, guess I can't laugh at him after all

Mystery fucker- Im the god of personal wishes. You probably have a lot of questions.

Me- Not really. Just tell me what happens next.

Mystery fucker- Well my name is Chad.

Me- Wtf, your name is chad. You must be some chad huh.

Mystery fucker- Shut up.

Me- Why don't you shut your bitchass up.

Wait, nvm, if he does that then I won't get my answers.

Me- Never mind, continue, please.

Mystery fucker- Very well. There are different gods. The god of "Go fuck yourself random human I don't know" killed you.

Me- Wtf.

I was laughing.

Me- Then what.

Chad- Well, I grant wishes based on things people like. I know you like basketball and exercise, so do you want to do something like that in the afterlife?

Me- I ain't doing that shit if im dead.

Chad- You also like anime.

Me- Hell yeah.

Chad- Do you want to do something like that in the afterlife.

Me- If you mean like reincarnate, then sure.

I sounded sarcastic.

Chad- Good, I'll send you to a random time place.

Is he for real?

If it's true then damn that would be awesome.

Unless he sends me to some deadly place.

Chad- Well goodbye. I will send you now.

Me- Wait, you won't ask if I want powers.

Chad- Oh yeah, it slipped my mind.

Me- Fuck you.

Chad- So tell me your powers you want.

The hell am I going to pick. There are two many different powers. Plus they need to fit the world im getting randomly sent to.

Me- Tell me which anime im going to first.

Chad- Where do you want to go?

Me- I don't know. Lemme see.

I thought about where I wanted to go for 10 minutes. Chad got impatient.

Chad- You know what, im sending you to a random place.

Me- .......Fine.

Chad- And your powers will be random too.

And then the black space around me turn into a boisterous city filled with........name looking, people.

God damn, it's real.

Lets fucking go.

But what place is this? So my places look like this in anime.

Oh, wait! My powers. I need to test them out.

I was in the middle of the street. I walked swiftly and quickly into the outer regions of the city. There was no one around.

Alright, how do I do this? Do I shout shit or do I raise my hand?

Or maybe just...

Me- Come out powers!

A screen showed in from of me.

It's like a system.

If this goes who it does in anime then no one else but me can see it.

It said.

Welcome Player

Will You accept

Well no shit

Me- Yes I do.

Then a bright light flashed for a short time.

The light then went away.

'Open system' I said in my head.

And so it did.

Name-Riku

Age- 24

Height- 5'9 (176cm)

Job- Shadow Sovereign

Level-1

And it proceeded to say a buch of other shit I'm too lazy to read.

Well, it looks like I have the power of the shadow sovereign from the Solo Leveling manwha.

Lets fucking goooooooo!!!!!!!

But I'm at level one. I need to get stronger. But first I need to find which place this is.

I walked back into the city and asked a random dude on the street.

Me- What place is this.

Random dude- Wtf, how do you not know what city this place is.

Me- Im new.

Random dude- Oh, then this is Orario

I can't believe the "I'm new here" line worked.

Anime really is crazy.

He said Orario.

I've been reading several Danmachi fics, I know that name for sure.

Im in Danmachi.

Interesting.

Me- Thank you, sorry for disturbing you.

Random dude- No problem.

I then left Orario.

I first needed to get stronger.

Since I know these powers from the top of my head, this should be easy.

I found some type of goblin. It tried jumping me but I instead punched it. It SOMEHOW DIED.

I got experience points (xp)

Good, Now I'll kill some more shitty animals.

For 3 months, I found monsters in the forests and killed them all, one after the other. I also had to do daily quests that the system gave me such as the one punch man workout.

I was now level 47.

I was also eligible to activate my shadow sovereign powers.

These past months I've only been using swords and physical ability. But I'll finally be able to use the other powers of the shadow sovereign.

In other words, I'll have my personal army of shadow soldiers.

The quest I was given for this was simple. I had to defeat a dragon.

The dragon came from fucking nowhere.

And for 1 hour fought this shitty monster and killed it.

Lucky me, I won.

I had to choose a command word. This word will be used to dead corpses of monsters or humans, become my shadow.

ARISE

That was the word I used.

The dragon revived as a shadow soldier.

Fucking neat. This was cool af.

I was now level 61.

I think it's time I enter Orario.

I was now at the front entrance of the city. I walked inside.

What should I do? Should I become an adventure? Yeah, I should.

But which family or familia. Whatever they call it.

Im not the biggest Danmachi fan as you can see.

I decided to walk around. While walking I saw a pub. I was going to enter so I could buy some food but I realized I was broke.

I hunted food with my powers back in the forest.

Maybe I can be a mercenary or something.

OH SHIT!!

I forgot something.

I don't know how I look in this world.

Lemme find a mirror or something.

I found a public restroom and went inside. I saw a mirror. I then looked at myself.

I was wearing rags and robes which I bought from the system. But I never bought a mirror. I don't think the system had a mirror in stock.

My face looked like this

Damn, I had long ass hair. I should cut it.

I bought some scissors from the system and cut my hair a little bit. My hair now looked like this

A/N- I have no clue who these people are. I just found them on the internet.

With my new haircut, I set out into the city. I went back to the pub just so I can window shop.

When I went inside, I saw all the people.

They were so damn noisy. It was fucking annoying.

I went to the counter and asked.

Me- Is anything free?

Mamma Mia- What the hell did you say!! Nothings free you lousy mut.

Damn.

Oh well, time to leave.

Well, that was until I felt someone tugging at my sleeve.

Loki- Where do you think you're going hot stuff.

I know her. She's the Loki god girl. She had a drunk expression on.

Maybe I can join her guild?

Me- Are you Loki by any chance

Loki- Why yes I am. Now stay here. Let's have a drink.

I was fine with staying as long as it meant I can join her family thingamajig. But...Iv never drank before.

I was a teen in my past life after all.

Well, no harm in trying, I'm sure the system won't get me drunk since it rids my body of all toxic substances.

I sat down next to her. I asked her some questions about Orario and her Familia.

Me- Anyways, can I join.

Loki- FOR SURE!

Damn, she was weird. I don't like weird people but what can you do.

I had a couple of drinks, of course, she paid since I'm broke right now.

Well, it's not like I would have even if I did have some valis on me.

We then left the pub and walked to her place.

Loki- Hey do you know of Ais Wallenstein. She's one of my best fighters. You better not touch her.

Me- Don't care.

Loki- Yeah because you haven't seen her yet.

Me- Still won't care.

Loki- Grrr....oh by the way, what's your level.

Me- I don't know. You can check later with the paper thing right.

Loki- HEYY! It's not called the paper thing.

Me- Yeah sure.

Loki- Haha I like you. Anyways, we're here.

The place was fucking huge.

We went inside. I saw several members of the family looking at the both of us.

Random- Whos that Loki-Sama.

Loki- He'll be joining us. First I'll give him my blessing and then I'll check his status.

They started murmuring with each other. Things like

"If Loki-Sama brought him then he must be strong.

" I'll wager 10k valis that he's a level 4"

"No way, at best level 3"

Then someone said.

"Hey look, Ais-sama is back"

A young lady with green looking hair walking in. She was with some fox dude.

Oh, I remember, he's the son of a bitch who talked shit about the white aired boy. What was his name? Oh right, Bell.

How the hell did I forget the main character's name.

The wolf guy said.

"What's going on"

"Someones joining so we are placing bets on his level.

Ais seemed interested as well. She looked at where Loki and I were.

Loki did some weird, mumbo jumbo shit and gave me a blessing r something. I don't know what it is.

Loki- Alright, now take off your shirt.

Cmon man. Are you serious? There are so many fucking people here. Well, whatever.

I quickly took off my shirt. And with that, the gawking started.

Bete- Damn fucker has a crazy ass body.

"Holy shit"

"Wish that was mine," Said some fatass.

Ais just observed it. Probably thinking

'He must train a lot. I wonder if she's strong.'

Luckily for me, she was a nice, NORMAL person and not some perverted ass bitch.

Loki- Wow Riku, this is amazing.

Me- Is it really.

Then she took my status.

Her face became one of shock.

Loki-Uhhhhhhhhh WHATTTTTTT!!!!!!

Bete-What is it? Is he crazy strong or something? Or is he crazy weak?

Ais also looked interested.

Loki- How about I show you all.

She did somethings and after a few seconds, everyone was able to see my level number.

It probably said 61 and since the highest was 7 I think, shits going to go down.

Loki- H---his level is 6.

Hmm. The system levels and the status level must have been different then.

Bete- Holy shit, LEVEL 6. He's stronger than me. Oh shit, he's stronger than Ais.

Ais widened her eyes a bit. She found a new challenge.

Loki- We--Well it looks like we have ourselves someone strong. Welcome.

Me- My pleasure.

Ais walked up to me.

Ais- How are you so strong?

Me- ..............I just am

The other adventures were left flabbergasted at my response.

Ais- I see. What's your name.

Me- Riku.

Ais- Im Ais Wallenstein.

Me- Oh you're the one Loki kept blabbing about.

I pointed my finger at Ais and looked at Loki.

Me- I ain't going to touch her. Happy?

Ais- What do you mean?

Me- Nothing important.

Ais- I see.

She was then about to leave but I put my hand on her shoulder.

Nevermind, it seems like I touched her. Loki looked shocked that I just contradicted myself.

Me- Can you show me around town? Im pretty new here. I have no clue how to do any of that complicated stuff.

Ais-...... ok.

And we both walked out of the building.

My journey as an adventurer has begun.
