High School DxD: The Man Who Surpasses God

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

(Telepathy)

*Actions*

DxD

"*Sigh* Another day, another brain cell committing suicide."

The young man sighed with exhaustion.

It was one of those days, dull, endless, and suffocating.

The kind of day where he wondered, for the hundredth time, why the hell he was even in college in the first place.

He had barely survived the last lecture, his mind a blur of half-formed ideas and unrelated thoughts.

Every step he took felt aimless, like he was just going through the motions, ticking off boxes for a future he wasn't even sure he wanted.

"Why do I even bother? It's not like I'm gonna change the world or anything."

He muttered, kicking at the nearby soda cans as he trudged down the sidewalk, his headphones securely in place. 

The sound of Jujutsu Kaisen blared in his ears, distracting him just enough to make the monotony of his day bearable. 

"Nah, I'd win."

Gege's 'favorite' character said with a smug tone. 

"Pfft, yeah right. Read Chapter 236 first, you KitKat."

He mumbled under his breath, adjusting his bag on his shoulder.

His eyes remained glued to his phone, the high-quality animations playing out while the parts of his brain that wasn't dead yet ignored the world around him.

Lost in the epic fight replaying on his screen, he hardly noticed as his feet carried him forward. 

Then he heard it, the faint whoosh of something fast approaching. 

BEEP BEEP!

His head snapped up just in time to see the truck barreling down the road at breakneck speed.

The light was red, and he was already halfway across the street. 

"Oh shit!" 

The screech of brakes filled the air, but it was too late. 

SCREECH!

CRASH!

The impact hit him like a freight train, sending a shockwave through his entire body.

Pain exploded in his chest, his head snapped back, and the world spun in a nauseating spiral. 

The truck's blinding headlights were the last thing he saw before his body crumpled to the asphalt. 

'This is it... I'm done for...'

He thought as his vision blurred and faded to black. 

The last coherent thought that passed through his mind before everything went dark was a ridiculous one, so absurd that even in the face of death, he couldn't help but think it. 

"*Cough* You better... Isekai me... Truck-kun..." 

DxD

He could hear the faint sound of his own heartbeat. 

'Huh? Is this the afterlife? It didn't feel like it.'

He felt weightless, suspended in a strange limbo where everything was blurry and muffled.

His mind was fuzzy, distant, like he was waking from a long nap he couldn't remember taking. 

Was he alive?

Dead?

Both?

'I don't fucking know.'

The world began to shift into focus, and that was when he noticed something was off.

There was no pain, no throbbing headache, no broken bones, no sensation of having been hit by a truck. 

He wasn't even on the street anymore. 

Instead, he was somewhere else entirely.

"What the?"

He blinked, taking in his surroundings. 

The sky stretched above him is clear blue.

The air smelled of flowers and freshly cut grass, too peaceful for what had just happened. 

"Well, well. Looks like another one bit the dust. You good, kid?" 

The voice was smooth, almost mocking.

The figure stepped closer, and he squinted, trying to make out the details.

When he finally recognized the figure, it was like a slap to the face. 

That white hair, that punchable smug expression, and that signature blindfold. 

"W-What in God's green earth?" 

His voice faltered as his brain tried and failed to make sense of the scene in front of him. 

"Don't look so surprised, kid. "

The figure said, fully stepping into view now. 

It was him.

It was...

"It's the Super Senior!"

He accidentally said out loud. 

"..."

Gojo stood there in silent. 

That's when the young man realized what he just said.

"Wait, did I just... I-I didn't-"

"I'm... gonna pretend you didn't say that, kid."

Gojo interrupted with a comical vein on his forehead.

"By the way, before you say anything. No, you are not hallucinating and yes, you are 100% dead. Welcome to the afterlife... or maybe... not? It's complicated... but don't stress yourself thinking about it."

He said casually, giving the boy a long, appraising look. 

The boy blinked, trying to process the words. 

"O... kay? So what happens to me now?" 

Gojo grinned, clearly amused at the growing confusion on the boy's face. 

"Well, that's the fun part. See, when you cross paths with Truck-kun, it usually means you're about to get a second chance, whether you like it or not. In other words, you get Isekai'd." 

The KitKat's words shocked him-

"I heard that, Author!"

-but somehow, in the strangeness of this scenario, it made an absurd kind of sense. 

He had been hit by Truck-kun. 

He had died. 

And now, standing in front of him, Gojo Satoru was talking about a second chance. 

A reincarnation... or was it transmigration? 

He stared at Gojo for a long moment, his mind racing but getting nowhere. 

"Okay, what's the catch? Do I go to your world and kill Sukuna or something?" 

He finally asked, his voice tinged with skepticism.

"Pfft, HAHAHAHAHA!"

Gojo laughed out loud from his words. 

"HAHAHAHAHA! You-You really think I'd just send you into my universe?! You'd be Curse chow in, like, five minutes! HAHAHAHAHA! Nah, You'd Lose!"

The boy's shoulders slumped, and he let out a dramatic sigh. 

"Seriously? You can't even throw me a bone here? I'd rather face Sukuna than do another research spree." 

"Don't be so glum, kid!"

Gojo said, clapping him on the back with enough force to make him wince.

"You're going somewhere better. Trust me, you'll love it. It's about an anime where you can get stronger with the power of friendship and fanservice!" 

"..."

The boy was silent, his brow furrowing in suspicion. 

"You're... gonna have to narrow that down, Gojo. There's actually a number of those kinds of anime, which is kinda weird in my opinion." 

Gojo smirked, leaning forward as if he was about to share the greatest secret in the universe. 

"Alright, I'll give you a hint. It starts with an 'O,' and ends with an 'ppai.'" 

"..."

The boy's jaw dropped.

For a full minute, he just stared at Gojo, speechless. 

Finally, in a barely audible whisper, he said.

"It's High School DxD isn't it?" 

"Ding ding ding!"

Gojo cheered, pulling a confetti popper out of nowhere and blasting it right in the boy's face. 

*Pop!* 

*Cheering!*

Multicolored streamers rained down as the sound of an invisible crowd cheering erupted all around them. 

"We have a winner! Congratulations, kid!" 

The boy wiped the confetti from his face, groaning. 

"Out of all worlds, why did it have to be THAT one? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is there?!" 

Gojo shrugged nonchalantly. 

"Hey, come on. Cut me some slack. I'm still new to this whole Isekai business. Besides, it's not like I'm sending you to fight Titans like the last guy. Besides, DxD is pretty tame compared to the others. The worst thing you've gotta deal with are Ripoff Transformers and... well, you know the rest." 

Gojo made a suggestive gesture with his hands, miming holding something round and soft. 

The boy wasn't convinced. 

"Tame? Have you even seen that show? Don't even get me started on the light novels!" 

"Relax, you've got the plot knowledge, right? That's a major advantage."

Gojo said, waving off his concerns.

"And to make sure you don't die in the next five minutes, I'll give you a power-up. Free of charge!" 

That caught the boy's attention. 

"Wait, really? What kind of power-up?" 

Instead of answering, Gojo waved his hand dramatically.

From thin air, a giant Wheel of Fortune appeared. 

The wheel was decorated with various prizes ranging from the absurd to the outright terrifying, such as: 

- Mink-Fishman Hybrid Template [Try not to ]

- Deadpool's cancer [Warning: The user gets nothing but the cancer]

- A used condom with AIDS [Warning: Please don't touch it]

- Netorare System [Warning: The user is the one being NTR'ed!] 

- Uno Reverse Card [One-time use only]

- Harem Protagonist EX [Warning: Say goodbye to your pelvis]

- Makima's panties [Warning: Includes urine stains] 

- Krabby Patty Secret Formula [Warning: Includes an angry Plankton]

- Inventory Curse [Includes all Cursed Tools, Weapons, and 30 Million Yen] 

 There is also other things, but the Author doesn't have the patience to write it all down.

"Spin the wheel and test your luck! Don't be shy, go ahead, kid!"

Gojo said, gesturing flamboyantly with both hands. 

The boy gulped, his hands trembling as he reached out and grabbed the edge of the wheel. 

"Well... here goes nothing." 

With a hard spin, the pointer whirled around, passing over tantalizing powers and terrifying debuffs.

After what felt like an eternity, it slowed and finally stopped at... 

- DxD Isekai Starter Set [Contains the following: Tragic Backstory, Random Spirit Inheritance, Random Longinus, Random Holy Sword]

Gojo clapped enthusiastically. 

"Oh-ho! Nice! You landed on one of the good ones!" 

The boy narrowed his eyes. 

"A tragic backstory? Am I gonna lose my parents on the first day or something?" 

Gojo simply grinned mischievously. 

"Ah, that's a secret. But trust me, it's good... probably... maybe... It depends on the Author's mood." 

"Wait, wha-... *Groan* You know what, whatever. Anything else I should know before you send me off?"

The boy asked, groaning as he ran a hand down his face. 

Gojo leaned back, resting his hands behind his head like he didn't have a single care in the world.

"Well, let's see... You're still gonna be a dude and your memories are still intact... Oh! There's no do-overs by the way, so don't go pulling a Kazuma and die in the first few chapters, alright?"

He nods.

"Great, so no pressure or anything. Anything else?"

Gojo then crossed his arms in thought.

"Hmm... Nope!"

Gojo instantly disappeared in front of him.

"Huh? Where did he..."

He asked in surprise.

Suddenly, he heard Gojo's voice from behind.

"Imaginary Technique: Hollow Purple!"

And with that, the young man's vision went dark.

After sending the young man off to his new life, Gojo has a thoughtful expression crossing his face.

"Oh, wait a minute..."

A sudden realization dawning on him.

"I forgot to tell him there's different stuff added... and that his world is now in Hardcore mode."

A pause, then a casual shrug.

"Meh, he'll be fine."

With that, he waved his hand lazily to summon a fresh plate of dango alongside a selection of other sweets.

A grin spread across his face as he picked up a skewer of the sticky dango, savoring the treat like it was the best thing in the world.

"Man, I fucking love this job!"

Hello readers!

I'm back, and as you can see, this is different from last time.

I decided to turn all dialogue into Third-Person POV to make things easier for my sanity and decided to change some of the dialogue.

Let me know in the comments if this is an improvement or not.

Thank you everyone and see you later!
