Chapter 2: A whole new world?

"Okay let's calm down, first of all why in the nine circles of hell I'm a Shota! I look a lot like a combination of Yozora and Noctis, lucky for me I don't have the heterochromatic eyes of Yozora, they look cool on him, but it's too Chuni for my taste."

"Anyways why I don't feel any different from before, I can't feel the Armirger nor the other skills hell even the supposed system is not active was that another side effect of coming to the wrong world?"

"Status?"

"ID create?

"System start?"

"Revelry in the dark?"

"Game Startoo…."

"Shit, that was embarrassing, I am glad that I'm alone. But suddenly I felt someone behind me.

"Hahahaha, you are an idiot hahahaha, It's just that your Magic Circuits are not active," Kazuma said while almost crying.

Ignoring that he is making fun of me I asked what is important. "Kazuma what are you doing here? But first of all where the heck I am!?"

"You can at least say hello you know?" Kazuma said with an annoyed tone "Whatever, well answering your first question I came here to open your circuits and for your second question I need to explain something" Then Kazuma made a pregnant pause.

"You see there were two mistakes, the first one was caused by Aqua, she thought that we were to send you on a mission from the start so she changed the coordinates, and instead of sending you the DXD world she sent you to this world and AU of Harry Potter"

I just pinched my forehead trying to not explode in anger "And the second mistake?" I asked with an annoyed tone.

"Celes-chan the person in charge of creating the system instead of creating what I asked for, created something similar yet different," He said with a defeated expression.

"And what exactly did she create?" I asked with a little fear.

"A mercenary system, in essence, they are the same but the main difference is that you need to find the people to join the group but there is a problem..."

"For the love of Hestia, first I become a Shota, then I realized that I'm a different world than the one we agreed and after all of this, you are telling me that I will be alone in this mission and what's more that I need to recruit the members myself or I would be alone for future mission and now that there's a problem with the system!!? What's next? That I need to replace the biblical God!?"

"Don't be ridiculous, but ... don't say that again we don't want to jinx it," Kazuma said with a weirdly serious expression.

"The problem is that since the coordinates are different than the established ones, the system didn't make a complete upload to your soul so you will only be able of doing this mission for the moment since it's a long-term mission and the second problem is that the system store is not complete so you can only exchange your points for knowledge and the only items and skills you can get for the moment aside the ones from the gacha and the gift are the ones that are the rewards from the missions"

After listening to Kazuma's words I just sighted with a defeated expression. "Well considering all that happen it could have been a lot worse than this, I mean it's a bummer that I can't buy more weapons but since I have the Armirger it's not a big problem and even if I could buy other skills I wouldn't do it since I need to practice the one that I already have," I said with a resigned tone. "Anyways how long it would take to take other missions and to be able to buy other skills and items?" And by the way, what are the gifts that you are giving me?"

"Well you take it a lot better than I thought, to be honest, I was expecting at least half an hour of ranting," Kazuma said with a confused expression.

"Well for starters I know that it's not your fault, and I know that I don't have any luck when Aqua is involved" I sighed after saying that

"Besides I think that I know this world better than the DXD, I mean my main problem would be a nose-less idiot with daddy issues, his groupies, and the guy who made his relationship problems the problem of everyone, maybe the ministry but I don't want to be involved in politics. That's a win in my book considering that I could get in problems with literally demons and gods."

"Well it's good that you can see the bright side to be honest I expected you to be a lot more pissed," Kazuma said with a curious look.

"Anyway, about your gifs, we decided to give you 2 traits, the first one basically lets you overcome your limits but doesn't erase them and the second lets you learn almost any 'mystery' if we talk with Nasuverse terminology, but you still need to have some sort of affinity there are more details about this two but you can check them when the system is unlocked"

"Isn't that a little too OP? I thought that you needed to be careful with all that karma shit and whatever you said, can't I buy things to overcome my limits?" I asked really curious if these gifts will give me problems in the future.

"Well it would be a problem indeed if we had given you unlimited potential and instant mastery but since the traits have limits and conditions they are still what we can give you without issues." Kazuma

"And while it's true that you can buy those things they are expensive so you can expect to buy them every time that you hit a development wall"

"Well this seems too good in comparison to what you received, I mean when you went to another world they only gave you one option to take, even if at the end of the day you took Aqua."

Kazuma gave me a sad smile" Kid our circumstances are way too different."

"How so?"

"Well for starters I wasn't the only one that could have defeated the Demon Lord, if something went wrong they could just summon another unlucky guy and my world wasn't that dangerous, to begin with, and there were more ways to get stronger than regular worlds thanks to the guild cards"

"Can't you do the same with me? I mean, to be honest, I'm not that special and why you simply gave me a system and use those karma points to acquire skills and level up? I mean your world has them?" I asked rather curious, I mean in a way that would make things way easier and less complicated.

Kazuma made a mildly annoyed expression "Do you think that sending someone to different worlds across the Omniverse is that easy? One of the reasons we choose you is that your soul is special, it can travel without a problem between worlds without being rejected or tainted so it would work as a protection measure for the other members with the help of the system so without a soul like yours the system wouldn't efficiently work, so no we can't get another person for this work, so it would take a lot of time and resources to find another person and in the meantime, we would be fucked and answering your second question if we had sent you to just one universe and you stayed there forever it would be possible to do, but since you will travel to a lot of different universes we cannot be sure that you will catch the eye of someone with the ability to temporarily disconnect you from the system and make you useless, that's the reason that the system you have it's at most and interphase"

Well now I understand why they gave so many benefits even if they made a mistake at the start and now it makes a lot of sense why they just gave me a stupid system like those fanfiction, but to be honest I like it that way, who knows if the system would be sentiment and would have me an unreasonable quest, here at least I can reject some without too serious risk.

"So kid, is safe we don't want you to have a stupid death and start once again," Kazuma said with a mocking smile.

I got slightly annoyed by that but I returned him a mocking smile."Says the guy who died by pissing his pants"

I could hear Kazuma's blood pressure increasing "That's a low blow kid, I thought I was saving a person from dying!"

Kazuma yelled at me for over 15 minutes before he calmed down.

".... So never talk about that again. And answering your last question the reason that you look like this is that you needed a new body. Truck-kun not only killed you as I told you he erased your existence including your name and body"

"Wait that's not true, I still can remember my name, it is....." I was stunned at the realization that I couldn't remember my name and when I tried harder my head started to hurt like hell.

What the fuck, I could remember everything, how my mom took me to school when I was a kid.

Me hanging out with my friend, go to college, getting wasted but the moment every time I try to remember my name, I only hear a glitched sound or the memory just distorted.

"I love you ■■■■■■■■"

"Oi kid you need to calm down, I know that it must be hard but keep yourself together. Even if you don't remember your name you are still the same, it doesn't change anything!"

After a few minutes I could calm myself, God it was a horrible experience.

"Kid, are you alright?" Kazuma asked with a very concerned expression.

" Yeah, somehow, who would have thought that I would experience an existential crisis as a kid"

"Well seeing that you made a bad joke it means that at least you overcome it a little bit"

"Look it must be pretty shitty to forget your name, if it means anything Aqua feels bad about this."

"Well, at least now I know that she doesn't have a personal vendetta against me."

"Nah, you are not a giant frog so you are safe from her eternal hate."

We chuckled a little about that.

"So do I have a new name or can I choose?"

"You have a new name it's Yozora Hoshimura since you were half-Japanese in your last life I don't think that you would have a problem"

"Is that the reason why I look a lot like the bastard son of Yozora and Noctis?"

"Yup, at first I wanted to give you a similar look of your last life, but since this world is rather closer to the base than the DXD world, I needed to hurry to create a new body so I looked for a template and Yozora's was the first one. At the first, your appearance was exactly like his but I change it slightly so you wouldn't look too Chuni with the heterochromatic eyes and the greyish hair. Your eyes are uncommon but not impossible to have so there's no problem in worlds with "common-looking people"

"I need to thank you for that, I would die from cringe having that look and the name it's cool so no problem here, but it would take a time to get used to."

"Now that everything is clear we need to open your circuits so you can have access to the system and 'install' your skills afterward we are going to summon your servant so I can give you your legal papers so I can go, so please sit in a lotus position, close your eyes and think of something that can be your mental trigger"

I did as Kazuma said and started thinking about what to use as a mental trigger, I know that every magus has a different trigger, Shirou's trigger is to fire the hammer of a gun, and Rin's is stabbing her heart with a knife.

I stayed for a few minutes but nothing came to my mind until I remember my high school years when I used to smoke because I thought that it made me look 'cool'...

Seriously what an idiot I was but that gave me the mental trigger I needed.

"I'm ready"

"Okay clench your teeth and try to not scream, remember to think about your trigger" Saif Kazuma with a sadistic smile.

"Wait what...." But I couldn't end the sentence as a wave of pain started to invade my body.

'God I'm an idiot! I forgot that Magus always complained about how painful it was to open the circuits, it really feels like having hot iron under the skin'

I didn't waste my time and started to imagine the trigger I decided: Uncover a Zippo lighter and light it.

I keep imagining that for an unknown amount of time suddenly the pain increased and a lot of information began to overwhelm my brain.

"Damn, it would be hard to get used to that, honestly how does Magus get used to that pain? But I must admit that the feeling of the flowing od feels amazing"

"They are masochists and weirdos, besides you don't even need no worry about that"

"I know but let me complain a little bit hahaha. By the way, where is the summoning ticket?"

"Just think about the ticket and it would appear in front of you. Keep in mind that you can only store items that come from the store or mission rewards."

I tough about the ticket and suddenly a golden ticket with silver inscriptions appeared in front of me.

"Just tear it in half and the summoning process will begin, the summoning incantation will come automatically to your mind"

I tore the ticket and a silver summoning circle appeared in the middle of the room and instantly I knew what to say. I raised my arm and started to chant.

"Fill.

Fill.

Fill.

Fill.

Fill.

Let each be turned over five times, simply breaking asunder the fulfilled time.

Let silver and steel be the essence.

Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation."

The summoning circle started to light up

"Let my great master ■■■■■■■■ be the ancestor.

Raise a wall, against the wind that shall fall. Close the four cardinal gates.

Come out from the crown.

Rotate the three-branched road reaching the Kingdom."

The light got even stronger and I barely could keep my eyes open.

– I shall declare here. Your body shall serve under me. My fate shall be with your sword. Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail. If you will submit to this will and this reason... then answer!

– An oath shall be sworn here! I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven. I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!

– From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three great words of power, come forth from the ring of restraint, Protector of the Balance"

After I finished the incantation the room got consumed by a blinding light

After a few seconds, the light died out and the room was surrounded by a mist made of mana and behind that, a silhouette could be seen.

"I ask you. Are you my master?"
