Life in DxD After Becoming a Legend

After an unusual demise not tied to fate, our protagonist doesn't meet their end due to destiny, but rather because of an error by an entity known as ROB. As an apology, ROB reincarnates the protagonist to the last place they were seen before their death. Awakening in the world of DxD, a dreamland for men filled with rampant fan service, our protagonist realizes the dark underbelly of this supernatural modern world. Behind the veil of entertainment lies a realm where premature death isn't uncommon when certain entities go on rampages. Aware of the imminent danger, the protagonist seeks power to survive in this perilous world. However, the rules governing each universe differ, and ROB can only provide three useful things, albeit not the instant cheat advantages the protagonist hoped for. Endowed with the granted powers, the protagonist is transported to another world, inhabiting the body of Petra living in the same year amidst a great war. Now embodied in Petra's soul, our protagonist struggles to survive in this harsh world. But it's not merely survival they seek; it's also about transforming an ordinary existence into a colorful adventure, ultimately becoming a legend.

Prologue

The middle-aged man, named Hiroaki, stared at the ball of light with a mixture of emotions that were difficult to express. Part of his heart remained stuck in astonishment and disbelief, while another part felt oppressed by the sudden unfairness of his fate. "Okay, so you're saying I die and you're going to send me to the world I last watched?" Hiroaki asked in a tone that mixed skepticism and confusion.

ROB, the Lord of Reality, nodded calmly. "As you said, I will send you to the last world you watched before your death."

"Believe me, I really want to enjoy High School DxD as entertainment for my tiring weekend. But why must you be so cruel to send me to a world full of danger as an ordinary person!" Hiroaki complained, his expression reflecting deep dissatisfaction.

"It can't be helped; this is the correct procedure," answered ROB coldly.

Hiroaki felt the urge to squeeze the ball of light tightly, but he knew it wouldn't change anything. He felt trapped in an unavoidable situation. "Listen, as far as I know, like a god who accidentally kills someone, that person will be sent to another world armed with cheat powers!"

The ROB in the form of a ball of light trembled. "Hmm... Is that so? I've never heard or seen other gods do that."

Hiroaki took a deep breath, realizing that his arguments wouldn't make a difference. "Actually, I've never actually seen it, but isn't that the trend in isekai anime?"

"To send you to another world with the power of a cheat directly violates the rules of the universe that I will visit, so if you really want the power of a cheat, you have to try to get it. And regarding my help, I can give you three things, namely a body that is always in top condition, opening all your limits, and a large pool of magic for an initial start. You can continue to expand your pool of magic because all forms of limitations have been removed from you, so it will be easy for you to penetrate all levels of rank in the world," explained ROB.

The man was a little calmer with the explanation that he could accept, but for him, who couldn't do everything instantly, this made him a little skeptical.

"No need to worry, you'll be fine there; if you try, no one will be able to beat or kill you," added ROB, trying to calm Hiroaki.

With a feeling of relief that strengthened his heart a little, Hiroaki nodded, accepting his fate more wisely.

Hiroaki looked at ROB with increasing hope. He longed for certainty, even if it was just a small piece of information about what would happen to him in this new world.

"Either that is acceptable, and are you going to send me or reincarnate?" Hiroaki asked, shivering in anticipation.

ROB was silent for a moment, considering the words he would say wisely. He was aware that whatever he said would affect Hiroaki's feelings and fate in this new world.

"Relax," ROB answered finally, "I can't tell you for sure. But with my permission, you will at least be safe in the first five years, and you will not die during that time. However, if you become involved in supernatural matters, then my protection will be extinguished, and you will have to fend for yourself. Do you understand?"

Hiroaki nodded, carefully accepting what ROB had explained. Although not completely satisfactory, at least he had the promise of protection for a certain period of time. It was more than he expected.

"If you understand then go toward the door behind you."

After receiving the explanation from ROB, Hiroaki looked at the door behind him carefully. The door, far from being the grand gate he had expected, was a simple structure with carved triangles and eyes shaped like the Illuminati. Despite its simple appearance, its presence exuded an undeniable air of mystery.

Hiroaki hesitated for a moment, looking at ROB with a gaze seeking additional approval or warning. However, the ball of light only nodded gently, giving a vague signal that there was nothing to worry about. Hiroaki took a deep breath, knowing that there was no other way but to move forward.

With heavy steps, Hiroaki approached the door, which was wide open, revealing the intimidating darkness beyond. He felt trembling inside him, but his resolve never wavered. With a deep breath, he stepped forward, crossing the threshold into the eerie darkness.

The door closed behind him with a soft rumble, separating Hiroaki from ROB and the white space that now felt distant behind him.

In a remote village in an unknown land, there stood a lush apple tree. Under its soothing shade, a boy awoke from his afternoon nap. The sunlight shone on his calm face, creating shadows under his still-closed eyes.

Petra—that was the boy's name—looked around with still-blurry vision, rubbing his eyes gently to get rid of the remnants of the dream that was choking him. However, the image of Hiroaki, a figure that sounded so foreign in his dreams, still haunted him.

"Somehow I had a strange dream... Who is Hiroaki?" Petra muttered, trying to understand the meaning of the dreams that kept filling his mind.

Suddenly, the sound of a call interrupted Petra's thoughts. "Petra!" The sound of the call came, awakening Petra from his reverie.

Petra raised his head and saw a young woman standing a few steps away from him. She was Sara, Petra's good friend who was always there for him in difficult times.

"Wow, you're awake! I've been looking for you for a long time, Petra," said Sara with a warm smile.

Petra looked at Sara with a little confusion but was ready to respond to his friend's call. "Yeah, I just woke up. What happened, Sara?"

Sara approached Petra at a fast pace, her expression anxious. "There's something happening in the forest. We have to go quickly to take a look. Come on, hurry!"

Petra immediately got up, feeling a tense shiver run through his body. He knew that something serious had happened if Sara had called him so urgently.

In the white space, where the ball of light depicting ROB still resided, his focus was fixed on the hologram screen in front of him. The screen showed the ongoing transfer process, where Hiroaki moved into the body of Petra, a boy from a different world.

Even though ROB knew that his actions would cause dissatisfaction with Hiroaki, he believed that his decision was the best in facing the threat from the Central Universal Council. He had no other choice but to maintain balance in the multiverse order.

"Even though he will hate me for sending him long before the main canon happened, it's better this way. If I do it in the near canon, then the Central Universal Council threatens me," muttered ROB, trying to calm the rising anxiety within him.

He realized that as the Master of Reality, his actions would not necessarily be liked by all involved. However, his responsibility was to maintain balance and ensure the continued existence of the multiverse.
