Being King in another world

A soon to be a dead person is reincarnated in another world as Gilgamesh. He thought about living a kingly life but there is more to it than he thought. --- This is going to be a little slower pace but I will try to make some adventures for Gilgamesh. Remember, MC is not Gilgamesh from Fate but he is in his body so he won’t be calling every single person a mongrel but he will have a similar personality. A little crueler. It will be a little slow but please bear with it. Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome. This is also going to be kingdom-building so different points of view will be added which may reduce the screen time of MC but I will try to stick with MC more. --- English is not my first language so English professors could participate in correcting me.

Chapter 2 Who wants to be isekaied?

"Welcome to my show, 'who wants to be isekaied?'"

"Huh?"

I suddenly found myself sitting in front of an American man smiling like the happiest person in the world. I was sitting in a long chair with the screen in front of me.

I was confused since I don't recall coming to any kind of show and the man in front of me… is he Regis Philbin?

"No, I am not him."

The man in front of me answered as if he was reading my mind. Before I ask all cliché isekai protagonist questions like where am I. Am I dead or the person is god? He decided to explain me.

"First of all, I apologize to say this but you are dead."

He said with a serious face and remained silent. I know what happened to me so I only sighed before waiting for his next sentence.

"As for my identity, I am not the person from your world but the angel of reincarnation. And before you ask, why I am in this form then I couldn't reveal my true form to mortal even to a soul and I decided to incarnate you through this game."

"Okay…"

I have no idea where this train was going but I don't think there is anything good lies ahead.

"You are the nth person selected by Rickshaw-sama for reincarnation."

"Wait, I thought it was supposed to be Truck?"

"Well in southern Asia, this job is done by Rickshaw-sama since rickshaws are infamous for accidents."

"Ohh…"

That's right. I was an Asian American person. As far as I know, I was an orphan, just like every generic soon to be isekaied protagonist, before I was adopted by an old school teacher.

I was a cheerful and positive person who studied hard to become an engineer for the old man who adopted me but just after entering college, he passed away.

Anyway, I completed my studies, and just like every newbie engineer, I didn't get any suitable job.

I also found out that there was a hole in my heart and I wouldn't live long enough. I didn't panic nor become scared since death is only natural for a human being so I decided to ditch all the things and embarks on a journey to travel the world.

I created a VLog channel on YouTube but the income I generated was mostly from donations that my friend was managing for me.

Anyway, who doesn't want a free lunch? I made logs trying different things across the world. I learned different things about food, religion, and the geography of different communities. Soon after I became famous and was enjoying my life.

Though I fainted a couple of times during my journey I didn't back down and continued to travel. Anyway, I was in India, after enjoying the spicy biryani, I came to the hotel and was enjoying the stargazing when I saw a flying object coming towards me.

Yes, it was the so-called Rickshaw-sama who I saw last time before I came to this room.

"If you are wondering about heaven or hell, then don't since singles are given a second chance to get a partner… or two."

Hmm, it means that singles are not allowed to enter heaven and what's more, I was a virgin. If a girl is coming under your dick then she has to be your wife who you love. I was a kind of an honest and possessive guy and after finding my disease, I dumped the idea of losing my virginity. Wait, did he say two partners? Harem?

"Anyway, are you ready for isekai adventures? By the way, you could call me Sariel."

The angel said. Oh, it is the name of an angel in seven deadly sins.

"Then I will ask you few questions. Based on your answers, you will be awarded the abilities of a strong hero from any anime or fictional show."

"I hope I won't get their faces. I don't want to be a villain with a murderer name having sex with 14 years old girls and act like that."

Like certain fanfic of long hair twig.

"Epic foreshadowing…."

"What did you say?" I swear I heard something nasty from the angel's mouth.

"Oh, it's nothing. Then here is your first question."

Suspense BGM*

"Here is your first question. What is your favorite isekai genre?

a) Kingdom building

b) Harem and romance (Otome for reverse harem)

c) Revenge and suspense

d) Slow and a slice of life"

Well, it was more like a questionnaire where I will get a Pokémon based on different choices.

"Option b) kingdom building." Taking it as a joke, I answered.

It is my favorite genre in isekai. I loved overlord and No game no life.

Overlord can be considered a proper kingdom-building where an antihero conquers through conspiracies and strategy if you read the novel. No game no life is also a kind of kingdom building in a sense of winning territories through the game.

But Release That Witch comes on top of the kingdom building. I spent a full month reading all 1200 chapters because it was very interesting. MC was not overpowered but he used his brain to develop technologies to fight against demons. It is my forever favorite isekai series and more so, it was my only Chinese novel that I read. The rest of them are complete cultivation trash.

Of course, I also love harem romance and action like Jobless Reincarnation but I like to read kingdom-building more.

"Oh, good choice. Then for the second question. At what age, you would like to be incarnated?

a) Dinosaur era

b) Before technology

c) After technology

d) Futuristic technology"

"Option b) Before Technology."

Obviously, how could you plagiarize in modern-day technology? Forget about futuristic technology since I didn't want to put my brain in more technology.

"Hmm~ I can feel your intentions then on to the next question. As whom would you like to be born as?

a) As an orphan

b) As a son of the king

c) As a son of a noble

d) As a son of a farmer"

"Option b)"

Who wouldn't like to be the king? I never had parents so being an orphan again is a no. I don't like to serve anyone so as a noble I have to lick the boots of others so it was also a no. I tried farming in my previous life but I would rather enjoy a chilling life while becoming stronger than work on farms.

Ding* ding* ding*

"Congratulations! You have won a great price." Sariel said while clapping his hands.

A character appeared on the screen with golden armor and blond hair. Oh, I don't like where this s going.

"Wow, you have been decided to reborn as Gilgamesh with a unique system! And on top of that, you will have a goal to make you stronger!"

"Wait! Please wait! I thought it was just a joke. Can I change some of my options?"

Gilgamesh is a good character but he has a shitty personality quite opposite to me. He is a loli killer so I don't like him much. Yeah, he is strong but I would like my own identity rather than being a second hand.

"What are you saying? It is in million time chance. You should be proud of yourself, my next king~"

I stood from my chair in panic and asked again, "Wait please reconsider. I will like to change few things!"

"Everything will be taken care of. Bye~"

"Nooo…" I cried before my consciousness faded.
