Bab 1: Ravel Phenex, The Gamer
[Congratulations, wandering soul, you have died. Now, you will be given the opportunity of a second life.]
What the fuck, either the person who is saying this shit is a sociopath or psychoshit. Since when was dying something to be congratulated for? Shouldn't you mourn for me?
[We have no time for chit-chat. You will be given the option to choose your golden finger, the world, and the character you choose according to karma. Whether it is bad karma or good karma will be your currency in the afterlife. Of course, if you sell your soul to us, that would be an additional welcome too.]
No, thanks, I just sold my karma to you, not my soul. Speaking of which, are you a devil?
[No, we are angels in charge of the afterlife. Because of your belief in God, you are given the opportunity to enter heaven, but since you're not willing to hand over your soul to us, heaven will be closed to you and the afterlife is your only choice.]
[Let's begin with your karma. You have more bad karma than good karma. According to our rules, you will be given the choice to be reincarnated in a world where survival is the fittest rather than a fairy tale world where friendship and love triumph over evil.]
[Choose your world]
[1. Game of Thrones]
[2. DC]
[3. Marvel]
[4. DXD]
I thought DXD is a world where friendship and love triumph over evil, am I wrong?
[That logic only applies to protagonists, and you are not one. Don't you see how many characters there who are not protagonists and have no plot armor suffer tragic encounters and have tragic backgrounds?]
Why are the options so few?
[You are asking too many questions; we have no time to waste.]
I think you are not an angel but a devil. The more I think about it, the more convinced I become. Why are angels so impatient? Aren't they supposed to be benevolent?
[Choose your golden finger]
[1. Simulator Life]
[2. Chat Group]
[3. Arc of Embodiment]
[4. The Gamer]
[5. OP System]
[6. Infinity Stone]
[According to your karma, you can choose two golden fingers, so hurry, don't waste our time.]
Fuck you!
I choose The Gamer and Chat Group. Compared to them, Infinity Stone and Arc of Embodiment are worthless, and OP System seems like becoming a slave to the system. Because many MCs are enslaved by systems at every turn, I have no good impression of systems. Thus, The Gamer and Chat Group are my choices.
[Choose your character]
[1. Sona Sitri]
[2. Emenhilde Kanstein]
[3. Ravel Phenex]
[4. Akeno Himejima]
Just choose Ravel Phenex and end this already.
[Well, enjoy your second life then, Ravel Phenex.]
[As your guardian angel, that's all I can do for you.]
Thus, with that, I found myself no longer in the void, but in some unfamiliar room and unfamiliar place as some memories began invading my brain.
[The Gamer has been activated.]
[Let's begin the quest.]
[Quest: The Family (1/5)]
[Detail: Don't let your brother's engagement with Rias be broken and mend their relationship. Let's start by becoming Rias' friend first
[Reward: +20,000 EXP, Enhanced Regeneration, Super Soldier Serum (20).]
Okay, as much as I don't like to be a matchmaker for other people, considering the fact that Riser would be my brother and he treats me very well according to canon, I don't mind helping him with this little favor. Moreover, I have no interest in stealing my own brother's love interest nor do I have any romantic interest in Rias in the first place, so I'll take this quest. And the reward itself is very much to my liking. Not only will my regeneration be boosted, but I will get super soldier serum that I could sell in the Chat Group later or use it for myself, or give it to someone for a favor or build my own human army composed of super soldiers.
[Do you want to start the game?]
[Yes or No]
[Yes]
With that, I was standing in front of my own reflection in a mirror.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror, the girl staring back at me has long, blonde hair styled in twin drills, with a small ahoge perched on top. Her hair is glossy and well-maintained, adorned with a hairband on each side. She has large, round blue eyes, a stark contrast to the typically small-eyed protagonists often found in Chinese novels (just kidding!).
She wears a long, pink dress with a high collar and long sleeves. Not focusing too much on the intricate details, I glance around my surroundings before turning back to the mirror.
With this confirmation, I now understand that the angel who stuffed me into Phenex wasn't lying. I have indeed arrived in the world of DXD, both literally and figuratively, as none other than Ravel Phenex.
Ravel Phenex. That is my identity in this world. Although I haven't read or watched much of High School DxD, what I know about Ravel Phenex comes from the wiki and the memories I inherited after taking over her life. Ravel is the youngest child of the Phenex Clan and a favorite among the group. As the only daughter of Lord Phenex and Lady Phenex, my parents in this world, I was often spoiled. This is likely why Ravel seldom trained; after all, she was just a child—now, that child is me.
My identity could be considered superior and more noble than most. My family is among the pure-blood devils, originally one of the seventy-two clans, now reduced to thirty-six surviving pure-blood devil families.
The Phenex Clan is renowned for its phoenix powers and phoenix tears, which possess remarkable regenerative properties as a means of defense and the ability to produce powerful fire as a means of offense. Whether in defense or offense, our power is formidable. No one can deny that. It can be said Ravel Phenex's talent is stronger than her brothers. I don't know why the hell in canon she was willing to be included in his peerage when she could have built her own, which would be much better.
The canon timeline is still far away, and I am confident in fixing the relationship between my brother and Rias. Unlike toxic MCs from web novels who like stealing their own family's love interests or anyone with a pussy, I don't like such behavior unless it is my enemy who needs to be humiliated and kept in place.
Yeah, towards someone malicious, I am very much vengeful, like any normal person with common sense. I don't like being overstepped or insulted; every one of them deserves retribution from me.
For now, I will focus on my quest first to befriend Rias and fix her relationship with Riser and make Riser less of a womanizer and keep faithful to his own woman or fiancée. If he couldn't even stick to that principle, sorry, I can't help him. I don't want to babysit others.
"Fufufu... You've grown up, Ravel. Are you happy with your reflection?" My mother appeared behind me without warning as I lost myself in my thoughts. Her appearance was almost identical to mine, but more mature and sexy. I was still a long way from matching her in terms of looks, but I was confident that one day, I would surpass her. I couldn't help but think so. My narcissism indeed kicked in once again.
"Ahem... Ravel, is there a boy who has caught your eye? Is that why you spend so much time staring in the mirror?" she asked with a knowing smile.
"I hope you're not setting up a red flag, mother. I don't want to be married," I asserted.
"Nothing like that, dear. I'm just curious as a mother. Now, don't spend too much time preening. Your father and brothers are waiting for you at the breakfast table," she said, patting my shoulder before leaving.
It was time to join them. I adjusted my dress and hair briefly, then headed straight to the dining table.
