Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

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 afterlifewell, 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 dressesand 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."

"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.
