It's time to have some fun. I got on the bed with his body on top of Raynare's. I slowly removed Raynare's clothes one by one until she was completely nude. I then started to sick on her big breasts. She was still asleep but was slowly moaning. I bit her nipple and it caused her to wake up and she saw me playing with her breasts. She blushed but didn't brush me off. She said in a low voice "Ise, what're you doing?!"

"I can't hold myself back any longer. Today I'll make you three mine. I took yours, Kalawarner's and Mittlet's and today I'll take your first times." I whispered in her ear as I gave her a passionate kiss. I inserted my tongue inside her mouth and ravaging her tongue and mouth. She also kissed me back as I put one hand on her breasts and the other on her soft butt. I squeezed her butt and spanked it. She yelped in my mouth as we were kissing. I pull back from the kiss as I open her legs revealing her pink juicy cunt. 

I licked it with my tongue and she moaned in response. I lick her pussy as she continues to softly moan. I insert my tongue inside her and explore her insides. She pulled my face in her pussy as she came.
I pulled back and took off my clothes. I placed my cock in front of her mouth. She was surprised by seeing how huge and long it was.

"Give my a blowjob!" I order her. She nodded and licked it with her tongue. After a while, she took it in and out of her mouth slowly. She sped sucking my dick while massaging my balls. I groan as I put my shaft deep inside her mouth. She gagged because of it and I kept face fucking her. My shaft went in and out of her throat as she kept coughing for air. I graon as I completely push it inside her mouth deep inside her oesophagus, as I came. She swallowed it and some of it leaked out of her mouth due to the amount of cum I released. Tears formed in the corner of her eyes as she swallowed all of it and her stomach became full. I pull my shaft out and position it against her pussy.

I push it inside her breaking her hymen. A streak of blood came out of her pussy as she bit her lips sue to the pain. I started pushing my dick in and out of her. She started moaning loudly as she couldn't hold it back any longer. I placed a sound barrier around us as well to not wake up Mittlet and Kalawarner. I kept pounding her and as she came again. I keep pounding her insides as she kept cumming and made a silly face with her tongue out. After thirty minutes, I groan pushing my rod completely inside her breaking through her cervix and hitting the end of her womb. She immediately came from ecstasy as I kept ramming into her. I finally came inside her womb filling her up to the brim and she also came with me. I pull my dick out of her as some of my semen came out of her and the bed was dirtied with both our juices. She was shivering from the pleasure. I suddenly push my cock inside her asshole as she moans out loudly from pleasure and pain.


I kept pounding her pussy with my rod as she came again. I messed up her insides as she finally broke being all messed up. After ten minutes, I came inside inside her ass filling it up as well. She came one lastst time as her eyes rolled up and she became unconscious. I pull my rod out of her of her as some of it came out of her ass. I then removed the barrier around both of us and place it on Mittlet as I got on top of her. I removed her clothes and gave her a passionate kiss waking her up. 

She seemed to enjoy this as she kissed me back and our tongues intertwined. After I pulled out from the kiss she smiled as she said "I was waiting for you to take my first time. I see you've already done it with Raynare. I am happy that you're finally doing it with me." She got up and noticed my shaft. She was surprised by it's size. She starts giving me a blowjob. She sucks on it while pulling it in and out of her mouth. After a while, I groan as I started pushing it deep inside her mouth. She gagged as I kept pushing my cock in and out of her mouth as she came and kept gagging. After some time, I push it completely inside her mouth, in her oesophagus and came. She swallowed it while some of it came out of her mouth as her stomach got full. I pull my rod out of her as she huffed for air. 


Then I place my cock against her pink little pussy. I push it inside her in one go taking her virginity. A streak of blood came out of it. She bit her lips from the pain. I kept pounding her pussy as she came again. Her pussy was very tight maybe because she was so small. It felt good fucking her. After a while, I groan as I broke through her her cervix and enter her womb. My cock kept hitting the end of her womb again and again as she kept cumming non stop. I finally came inside her filling her completely and breaking her. I take my cock out of her as some of it came out of her mixed with her pussy juices. I then push my dick inside her ass and kept pounding her. I piston my dick in and out her ass. She was moaning loudly from ecstasy and kept cumming.

After a while, I came inside her ass and pulled my cock out of her. Some of it leaked out of her as her eyes rolled up and she went unconscious. I removed the barrier from her and placed it on Kalawarner. I got on top of her and removed her clothes. Her boobs were very big only a little smaller than Rias's boobs.


I woke her up and told her that I would take her first time. She saw the others beside and asked me to become one with her. I nodded and gave her a passionate kiss. Our tongues were playing with each other as we both were hugging each other. I pulled from the kiss and sucked her breasts and nipples. I placed my hands on her big and round ass and started squeezing it. She was moaning at my actions and came.


After a while, I got up and told her to give me a blowjob. She was scared as she thought "How can I take something so big?! His cock is huge!". She finally calmed down and started sucking my dick. She sucked it in and out of her mouth. After a while, I grip her head as I push my cock deep inside her mouth. It went inside her throat as she gagged. I push my shaft in and out of her throat. After ten minutes, I groan and push my rod deep inside her throat, inside her oesophagus. I came inside her mouth as he also came. My cum fills her stomach completely as she swallows it all, but some of it comes out of her mouth. I pull it out of her mouth and place it against her beautiful pink pussy. 


I pushed it inside as I broke through her hymen. A streak of blood came out of her pussy as her face distorted due to the pain. I start moving my shaft in and out of her. She moans due to my dick pounding her and comes. My cock again and again hit her womb and she was moaning due to the pleasure. Slurping sounds could be heard of pick cock hitting her insides. I keep pounding as she kept cumming.


After twenty minutes, I push my shaft deep inside her breaking through her cervix and hitting the end of her womb. She immediately came as she moans from pure ecstasy. I keep ravaging her womb and after some time I release my seed. The thick and hot white liquid fills her womb and pussy to the brim. She comes as she felt absolute bliss and finally breaks. I pull ot out of her pussy and some of my cum leaks out of her.

I quickly push my dick inside her ass. She came and released a loud moan. She is too damn slutty despite being never touched before tonight. I guess all fallen angels are like that. I keep pounding her ass with my dick with her sitting on my lap. I play with her tits while ramming her ass. I increase my speed and force as her moans become louder and louder. After some time, I groan as my dick twitches inside her ass. I push my rod completely inside her ass and finally came.

She comes alongside me as her eyes roll up and she becomes unconscious. I take my dick out of her ass as some of my semen leaks out. I thoroughly enjoyed eating these beautiful fallen angels. I clean up myself and leave their room. 

I went inside my pocket dimension and started creating some new moves. I finally master space magic. I also master dimensional magic. Now I can move through dimensions and go to other universes. It seems that the Biblilical God of our universe created a lot of dimensions besides others. The Gods in the other dimensions were all his creation. Now, I am thinking of going to the fate series universe. 

I use dimension magic to create a big white magic circle on my hand place it in the air. It compressed and turned into dense white particles. The particles spread and dispersed creating a big portal in space. I entered the portal and it closed. Another portal opens up in the fate series universe. I come out of the portal and it closes. I am inside a house. This is probably the house of Shiro Emiya. I can see Emiya sleeping. 

I immediately kill him using fire magic. Though it pains me to do so, he'll later only suffer in life. It's better for him this way. Then I teleport to the Throne of Heroes, also known as Ring of Detterence. The heroic spirits reside here. The fifth Holy Grail war hasn't started yet, so the heroic spirits are all here. In the fate series dimension, the Holy Grail is fake, but the one in the DxD universe is real though. 

I can see various heroic spirits gathered here. All the heroic spirits are surprised to see me. They all ask me "Who are you? Why are you here?". I answered them with a smirk "I am here to make all of you my servants." All these heroic spirits along with their noble phantasms are as strong as High-class devils, while the strongest ones are as strong as Ultimate-class devils and the strongest ones is as strong as Satan-class devils. All of them charged towards me at once. The fight begins between me and these heroes.

Trihexa destroyed the seal and wrecked havoc in the world. Ophis,lilith and great red fought him but ended up destroying all of existence. Issei managed to survive and unlocked a hidden power. He went back in time to save the world and his girls.


Spoiler: He's gonna get all the girls and he won't be a pervert. But there'll definitely be sex and hot stuff.

Universe 7

In an undetermined place in the universe 7... Away from all kinds of intelligent life...

A huge, muscular, half-naked young man with green hair... appeared out of nowhere...

Obviously he was Broly, who months earlier had created an ambassadorship there to return to the universe 7 easily at any time.

He didn't have a bioarmour like the Frost Demon or Hit, which allowed them to survive in outer space... but it seemed that the thin green layer of energy that covered him... replicated that function.

This was a technique that Broly got with his first wish with the Dragon Balls of the planet Earth... and that he continued to perfect over the years... allowing him to stay in perfect conditions in the void of space while he had enough energy.

At the same time, he also created a protective barrier around thousands of kilometres similar to that of Babidi... which allowed to hide his Ki... in the same way that Babidi did on earth to hide from the Z Warriors and the Kai's.

[Mmmm, it feels good to be in your own universe ...

Although the Kais of this universe are more inept, and the God of Destruction is always sleeping at the most important moments...

Whatever, time to collect the fruits that I have sown ... but before]

Broly brought his hand to his butt and it illuminated intensely and intermittently...
Seconds later, the tail that had been cut (and was still in the Formless Realm for further destruction ... or to frame it) ... grew back.

Broly touched his tail from top to bottom and moved it from one side to the other and trained her in different ways (see this cute reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF9cb2RYy9o)

When he checked that his tail was in perfect condition he examined his body ... when he found that he was exactly the same as before curing his tail... sighed in relief...

Broly hand't healed before because he didn't know if having a tail could interfere with his Super Saiyan transformation... since in the canon history nobody had never seen a Super Saiyan with a tail.

And while hugging and caressing his tail he said to himself "Oh ... my tail, my beautiful tail ... we will never separate again...

Your little brother in front felt so alone without you...

It was impossible for me to balance ... I always decanted slightly forward
HAHAHAHA

Well ... enough of penis jokes...

It is time to test if it is possible to combine the transformations"

Broly, still transformed into Legendary Super Saiyan Full Power ... started his transformation in True Saiyan.

However, contrary to what used to happen with that transformation... his muscles didn't increase... rather the opposite.

His muscles begin to diminish, in the same way that he also did his size ... adopting a similar size but more muscular than he had in his first state of super Saiyan Fulll Power... and his green hair turned black again ... and his green Jagan. ... lit up with a strange green glow ... similar to the blue glow of his right eye.

Because the True Saiyan form offered a much stronger body, physical changes such as disproportionate muscle gain and different colored hair didn't occur.

[As in my theory ... however]

However, the power multiplier he had now didn't correspond to the one he theorized...

The combat multiplier of the Legendary Super Saiyan Full Power was 24.000 ... if the True Saiyan multiplied the power by 10... then the True Legendary Super Saiyan Full Power should be 240.000, but...

It wasn't like that, it was much less... according to his calculations, this transformation had a multiplier of 15,000... a multiplier much lower than his previous transformation...

However, Broly didn't panic, as he understood the reason behind this disappointment.

"As I theorized ... the tail creates incompatibilities with the trigger of the Super Saiyan transformation… and at the same time the transformation True Saiyan creates incompatibilities with the transformation itself ... That is why I have returned to my phase of Super Saiyan Full Power...

If I were a normal Super Saiyan my multiplier would be 500, resulting from the combination of Super Saiyan (50) and the Oozaru (10), creating what is known as the Super Saiyan 4... Or as I call him... True Super Saiyan...

In Drabon Ball GT, Goku after some training, adaptation and the power of the suitability of the script... he managed to multiply his strength in the battle against Omega Shenron... reaching what I believe was the True Super Saiyan 2 (100 X 10)...

So... even if they are incompatible or rather ... difficult to combine ... it is possible to reach a higher level.

I still have a lot of room for improvement... It's a shame, but I'll need to work hard to combine my transformations...

For now it is not as powerful as my Legendary Super Saiyan Full Power, but...

It allows me other very succulent advantages...

Let's test how my two "Invasions" work at the same time"

His Jagan and right eye shone at once... one with a green light and the other with blue light
Broly in True Super Saiyan Full Power concentrated his Formless Realm to the maximum and activated his "Invasion"… as it should be in outer space.

However, if someone at hundreds of miles looked in the direction where Broly was... he could appreciate that the light around him seemed to have curved... as if there was a huge gravitational field around him that subtly deformed it...

At the same time, it seemed as if the image of Broly had frozen... as if it was paused ... or at least that's what it looked like ... It wasn't Broly who was paused, but the time around him... 

So it looked like if he didn't move for the outsiders, even if he was the only one not affected by that slowing down of time.

This was the ability Broly used to face Hit during his long fight on Sadala Planet to increase gravity, transformed into True Saiyan...

At the same time this was also the ability that Broly used to face Hit and Champa to slow down the time when he was transformed into Super Saiyan...

This is his ability "Invasion", which varied in effect depending on the transformations that were active...

Or rather... the Realm that he had activated... which were reflected in his eyes
Invading with his different Realms the dimensions that superimpose it... imposing its laws on those same ones.

Each eye represents a Realm ...

Each Realm represents an aspect of reality that Broly can control in his dimensions

Every aspect of that reality can be manifested in the normal world through a different transformation

Each transformation is reflected in the eyes of Broly as a glare of different color.

Each color ... represents a different effect that you can use with "Invasion"


…


The first Realm that Broly created was the Formless Realm which resided in his Jagan ...

Before Formless Realm there wasn'thing ... until space was created as the first proof of its existence...

Since the only thing that existed in the Real Formless was space... and that Broly's first transformation was the True Saiyan... Transformed into True Saiyan and with a green glow in his Jagan... Could activate Invasion

Broly with these conditions is able to impose the space laws of his Formless Realm and control the space around him ... and those impositions were in all the dimensions close to him (including Hit dimension)

Among many of the skills he could use with this skill ... the most characteristic and used was his passive ability, which allowed to increase the gravity using the manipulation of space.

According to this theory, gravity is caused by a curvature in space

These curvatures occur mainly when an object with a large enough compressed mass exists in space.
This curvature will cause objects with a mass and speed lower than this object… to be trapped within that gravitational field.

With this Broly was able to increase that curvature by imposing it on the space around him, increase the gravity depending on how much he concentrated his Formless Realm...

The maximum possible that could increase was the gravity to which Broly has been able to support for 9 minutes or more... Before reaching universe 6, the maximum he reached was 900 times Earth's gravity... being the only one not affected by that condition


…


The second Realm that Broly created was the Form Realm, which he created in the two years he spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

In that time Broly using the information obtained with the magical abilities that he had obtained, the investigation on the time machine of Dr. Omori and to the temporary difference that existed inside the room...

Broly was able to create a Realm where he had absolute control of time ... although for certain conditions, such as not having obtained his Super Saiyan... he hand't yet been able to enter, despite being his absolute master and creator.

The Invasion ability of this Realm was activated by the use of the S Cells... or rather... in the Super Saiyan state... reflected in his right eye as a blue glow.

The Form Realm using the Formless Realm as a medium ... projected the temporal abilities to the outer dimensions to impose his laws.

The passive ability of this skill was to slow down the time depending on the concentration of the Formless Realm... even stopping it completely.

The slowdown depends mainly on the concentration and power of the person within the area.

It wasn't necessary to fully concentrate the Formless Realm to completely stop the time of someone like King Sadala ... while it was necessary to concentrate it to the maximum to slow down Champa a bit... while it had no effect on Vados.

Both passive abilities, despite having their differences, both used the concentration of Formless Realm to impose their laws on the dimensions on which they have contact...

Something similar to the pressure exerted by water on living beings when they dive…


…


"Great ... I'll have to work harder on my other dimensional skills...

Another one of my many things to improve...

However, this transformation despite having less power ... for now ... with these skills may be more interesting than the Legendary Super Saiyan Full Power...

Transformation that I will also have to improve...

I have so much to do...

Good luck I have time to spare before Saga Z begins..." Broly said as he pushed back his Invasions... extinguishing that brightness in his two of three eyes.

Broly moved away a little more towards the emptiness, stopped emitting energy disproportionately and after verifying that there was no one around him… he opened his hands and in front of him...

Seven orange objects of planetary size of with red stars in their interior appeared instantaneously...

[Wow, I've released a lot of space in my Formless Realm ... it's like when I emptied my hard drive  of pornography... in the previous life...

HAHAHAA]

"It is better to hurry with my wish... before someone realizes that I have stolen the Super Dragon Balls ... the Dragon Balls capable of granting any wish.

Let begin!"
 
Broly in the language of the gods said "Super Shenron come out and grant me my wish chonmague"

A few seconds later... the red stars began to glow brightly ... and they moved, placing themselves in an hexagonal way with the four-star Dragon ball in the middle

After that the Dragon Ball began to shine with an impressive force ... they seemed to shine as much as a supernova…

From that explosion of light appeared a titanic dragon witha pure yellow color with a gold tone on his body… he has bright crimson eyes, large bat wings instead of the feathery ones around the species he has been designed from, coincidently has no legs, and spikes around his tail. 

He is incomprehensibly large, shown to be many times more colossal than the multiple amount of galaxies between Universes 6 and 7… this was the Super Shenron, without question the largest and most powerful Eternal Dragon in the entire Dragon Ball Saga

Broly impressed by the great visual spectacle and imposing aparence of the Super Shenron 

"Wow... this is real fucking dragon... and not the lizard of the earth... although it lacks some muscle…
Whatever…

…

….

Super Shenron
My wish is..."

Author

Sorry for not being able to publish a daily chapter but it is being impossible

Lately I don't have time

To give you an idea:

I leave home at 07:00 am and I return from work at 9:00 pm... And I have to prepare dinner, do things at home and prepare the work for the next day

These weeks are being difficult 😩

I died... who cares?

Now I have  the opportunity to reach beyond the gods ... of destruction

Yes… 

Due to the bad luck of dying, to the good luck of dying at the right moment, to be deceived by a god almost on top of the realities and know how to bargain with him…

I was able to reincarnate in the body of the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly

However, unlike him, I will take the reins of my own destiny.

In addition, this time not only has anger and muscles

...

I understand the structure of this universe ... and of the entire multiverse.

I know its entire immensity

I know how insignificant I have been ... and how insignificant I am still.

I don’t plan to feel that way again…

HaHaHa Gods?

Wait for me Beerus

Wait for me Daishinkan.

Wait for me  Zeno.

I WILL BE ABOVE ALL OF YOU!

This is a work of fiction that draws heavily upon the original source material of Dragon Ball. Please support the official release and know I claim no ownership or credit regarding the existence of pre-existing characters or content.

PDT: Read the manga of Dragon Ball Super, the history has more sense

Anything can be bound. Anything can be sealed. Anything can be restricted. Only time will tell how long these will last. A rewrite from my original Book 1 of the Gamer Series.

This is also on Fanfiction.net, same name and everything. The author is the same, but with Web novel limiting the word count, so I had to make it similar to my fanfic's username. 

Warning: Bad grammar, English not my first language.

AND DONE! The 4th of July, 2020 is when this fanfic is completed!

Anyone who could construct a stable Spell Model could become a Wizard — that was the Wizards' ultimate secret! Having been given a new life as the son of an aristocrat and armed with a super quantum computer from his past life, Spell Models game as easily as breathing to Merlin. With this overwhelmingly huge advantage, would Merlin become the greatest Grand Wizard of all time?

It's been one year since his powers were unsealed; he started learning magic from Kuroka. During this one year, he had published 5 more games which were equally as popular as the first one. With all the hunting in the dungeon and his income, he finally activated the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. 
He now had no worries using all of his Mangekyou powers while his movements have become more fluid. He now could clear the dungeon with just his aura. You can imagine how much power he has now.
He has also bought a new villa for himself and moved in with his parents. They were very happy to have a big house like that. It had three floors; the first one was used for the living room, dining room, and guest room. The second floor was all bedrooms with one being for their parents while the remaining rooms were reserved for guests like the first floor. The third floor was all for himself and his wives. There was a big room with a king-size bed with an attached bathroom and a personal swimming pool. The remaining rooms were for his wives so that they can have their personal space. There was also a big swimming pool and a big garden in their back yard. They were all very happy to have such a big house of their own.
Today for the first time since the arrival to this world, he was thinking of activating his boosted gear.
Since it's only a week before he joins the high school, he thought it shouldn't cause that much of a deal on the story and he will be able to predict most of the future events.
He went towards the dungeon to activate the boosted gear since he still didn't want anyone to know about the boosted gear. After entering the dungeon, he started channeling his mana towards the red pearl inside of him. The pearl feeling the mana started glowing bright red and manifested itself in his hand.
Seeing the boosted gear for the first time, he remembered this world where this boosted gear was in the hands of original Issei but all he did was chase after boobs while ignoring all the girl's feelings. But he is different, he is already strong enough to kill anyone in this world but this boosted gear was going to be his identity. He can identify himself as a red dragon emperor using this boosted gear and no one will doubt him and his strength.
After the boosted gear fully manifested in his hand, he asked through his mind 'Is anyone there'
The being inside the boosted gear was stunned but still answered 'Hello partner, how can you talk to me just after I was activated'
'It's because I'm strong' He said
'Then why didn't you activate me earlier' the voice asked 
'That's because I didn't want to. Enough about this, I am Issei Hyoudou by the way' he answered annoyed
'I am Ddraig. I am a welsh dragon also known as Red dragon emperor of domination' said Ddraig with an arrogant tone
'But why can't I read your memories' asked Ddraig confused. It was the first time such a thing had happened
'That's because you are too weak to go through my memories' he answered with an even more arrogant tone
'What?' Ddraig was stunned for a second but calm himself and asked again 'Why don't you tell me how to prevent me from accessing your memories or I won't provide my powers' as if threatening him
'Why don't you check my body first and say that again' he answered with a smirk on his face and allowed the energy sent by Ddraig to check his body
'How is this possible?' asked Ddraig stunned. He couldn't even see the limits of his powers. It only means that the dragon emperor was not strong enough to see the limits of his power.
'See, you are not strong enough' said Issei not knowing that the red dragon couldn't even see the full depth of his power
'How are you this strong partner?' Ddraig questioned waiting for answers
'God saw this handsome face of mine and couldn't bring himself to see me hurt so he granted me all the powers' he said with a smug face
'Fine don't tell me then' said Ddraig annoyed
'If you are this powerful then why did you activate me then' Ddraig asked again 
'Well, you should be grateful for this as I am going to use you for my identity. Shouldn't you be happy that the strongest Red dragon emperor will be resounded throughout the world? You will also be able to defeat your rival ones for all' he said
After thinking about it, Ddraig couldn't deny any of his words. He was even excited to show his rival that he is the strongest now. He excitedly asked 'What do you want me to do then?'
He thought about what he needs from the boosted gear. Then he thought he already had a strong body as a human but if he can have the body of the dragon, what will happen then. So he asked 'Can you change my body parts to that of a dragon'
'Of course, which part do you want me to change' Ddraig asked 
 'Can you change my heart to that of the dragon?' he asked. He wanted to change the heart since it will produce dragon blood which will further strengthen his lifeblood making his already stronger body even more robust
���Sure but it will cause you intense pain. Are you ready?' Ddraig asked
'Yes' He answered readying himself to the pain
After he confirmed, Ddraig destroyed his heart and started creating a dragon heart. He could feel intense pain during this process but he stood there without even making a single sound as if the pain was nothing to him.
After the process was completed, his heart started converting his blood to that of the dragon. He could feel a massive amount of energy in each drop of blood produced. The dragon blood started flowing through all his body strengthening his inside. He could even feel his power increase slightly which was near impossible at this moment.
'hahaha, This is amazing' He laughed knowing that he could still get stronger and escape the binds of the world and move dimensions. He now knew that going to another world was possible but he needed a chance just like this to increase his powers.
'Can I also use all of your powers?' He asked
'It would have been impossible if it was anyone else but your physical capability is above mine so you can use the full extent of my powers' He answered excitedly. This was the first time his partner can use the full extent of his powers.
Combining his physical powers and Uchiha bloodline then multiplying that power using boosted gear you can only imagine how powerful he will become but he can't be sure his boosted gear can even boost his power since this is the limit that this world has created.
So he tried using boost but as he initially thought, he couldn't boost his power by such means or he needs to suppress the world law itself using his power to be able to use the boost. He can only imagine if he can suppress the world laws then how powerful will he become.
After his boost was unsuccessful, he then attempted a balance breaker which was very easy for him to accomplish and he also tried juggernaut drive. He was disappointed though they were as good as outer armor only
But he was not depressed that much since he only needed control of world laws to use them to its full effects and even if he can't use them, he was strong enough to kill any entity with a snap of his finger in this world so what was the need for him to worry about.
With this, he once again suppressed his aura and went home thinking about school and all the heroines of the story.

This is a story about a 18 years old boy named Jack who died saving a lady from group of terrorist.

After death, he is allowed the chance to reincarnate in world of his choice with 3 wishes.

Snow flakes rapidly formed and fell in massive quantities while the ground became encrusted in ice. The wind was bitingly cold, it even became visible as one could see white-colored currents of air move about.

But it couldn't get past the area that had been transformed into a domain of fire. Neither could the powerful heat breach through the domain that had transformed into a polar zone. Both were at stalemate. It now looked as if both of them existed in different dimensions.

"Gods burying icestorm!"

"Eternals slaying fireblast!"

Both of them cried out these spells to magically augment their attacks and aimed their palms at one another.

Ice shot out of Alyssa's hands in great quantities at the man who was at a far distance in the air. It was like an avalanche had discharged from her fragile-looking hands except this avalanche was a thousand folds more enormous. 

Moving with a force that can instantly shatter mountain ranges and radiating extreme coldness that can instantly freeze all, the super-massive icestorm that was released from her hands raged towards the man with a seemingly unstoppable might.

While a vast stream of dark-black fire that was astonishingly mighty in size and carrying strength that can splinter mountains too rushed towards Alyssa.

Boom!

A sky-shaking explosion rang out when the mountain-crushing elemental attacks impacted each other.

Then after many minutes of struggling against each other. The attacks halted as Alyssa and The Widowmaker stopped the unceasing release of their elemental offensives.

Both of them had their brows furrowed. Especially the man, he couldn't believe this young lady could fight him to a stalemate. 

But he wouldn't be surprised if he knew she was from the Avaloran family and that she was the one who escaped with the child many years ago. The blood that flowed in her body made her operate in the same dimension of power as other terrifying, ancient powerhouse. 

Who is this girl? How is she able to withstand my attack? 

This was an insult to him and it made him extremely angry. Although he knew it was true the young shall overtake, but not in this way. He must kill her for the embarrassment she had caused him. 

He rapidly performed some hand signs and thousands of magical symbols appeared around him. Once these symbols appeared, a mysterious power from the world suddenly came upon Alyssa. 

Suddenly, she saw see things that she had never seen before in the world. She saw beasts, beings, objects and so on. They looked illusory, but they were real. 

These were formed from the arcane power of the world through condensation of the mysterious power in the Thaleendra cosmos into magical symbols. 

The symbols that appeared around him each magically produced tens of dreadful, hideous creatures and there were about thousands of these symbols revolving around him like planets revolved around the sun. One could imagine the number of creatures that he brought into existence through corporealization of power of the world. 

"Kill her!" he cried out . 

Then the horrendous creatures shot towards Alyssa. There were tens of thousands of different forms of these things. If one looked at the man now, he was like the magical commander of a vast army of fearsome otherworldly beasts. 

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock and fear. She quickly employed an attack-enhancement spell. 

"Infinite Icy Blades barrage". 

Once she cried out the spell, a gargantuan silver-white entity appeared before her and unleashed an extremely vast stream of ice that spanned tens of thousands of meters unceasingly at the creatures dashing frenziedly towards her.
 
Surprisingly, this unstopping enormous stream of ice that discharged towards the beasts at tremendous speed rapidly condensed into large blades in the air. These blades were as huge as hills. 

Puchi!... 

Continuous piercing sounds rang out as the enormous creatures were continually impaled with the blades resulting in their destruction. 

As they got slain, the symbols that produced them shattered and their constitutive powers returned to the world, to the dimension it was drawn from.

As she continued to attack the creatures, unknown to her, the man who was full of trickery had silently teleported behind her. 

Although she became aware of this due to her powerful physical senses, but before she could move to evade whatever attack might be thrown at her, she was stabbed through the heart by a large sword that cut into her body from behind.

Arghh!!

Once the sword passed through her, she screamed in pain. Then the man pulled out the sword that had pierced through her body. 

Alyssa lost control of her magical flight powers as she became unconscious and then fell from that height to the ground. 

Whoosh! 

Someone teleported there and quickly caught her. This person who had just teleported over looked at the man with fury then disappeared.

- Sisters of the Sky palace - 

In a room....

Many women dressed in white surrounded Alyssa. These were magical healers. White light erupted from their hands and wrapped up Alyssa. It was like she was in a giant cocoon of light. 

They continued to release energy for many hours, about six hours before they stopped.

Alyssa's body glowed in white light for sometime before it receded. When they looked at her chest, they saw the wound had healed. 

They were surprised, such fast regeneration speed. They became happy she would survive such a grievous attack to the heart. 

The healers although went all out in their effort to heal her, but they knew the healing was mostly done by her body, an effect of the blood that circulated in her. They only supported it. The Avaloran family were truly special.

Although her eyes were still closed, but they knew she was now okay. So they left. After a few hours, Alyssa's eyes snapped open and she stood up from the bed. She looked at her chest and saw the wound on her chest had healed.

Upon arriving in the town, Rigel viewed it as a city, comparing it to Hammerwood. The town had a few miles of farmland radiating out from it, but the main portion looked to be smaller than Hammerwood. The town had no walls or gates, and the group openly walked into it. Rigel noted the wide, dirt roads that give the town a very amiable feel. He looked around and observed the various shop names in an obscured fashion due to the lack of sunlight.

"So, how is it?" the young man who previously spoke with Rigel asked. "This is my hometown, Jagersbyt. It was erected by great men many years ago. Around 300 is the number that the scholars estimate. We don't know exactly because parchment is a rare commodity in the plains and when the traders come through we typically only buy wood in exchange for our crops.

Rigel silently listened in since the man seemed to have something more to say.

"Now that we're here," the young man continued, eventually. "Let's properly introduce ourselves. I am the 12th governor of Jagersbyt's son, Alkali Jager. My twin sister, Alkaline, and I are both considered prodigies in this town and plan to travel to Zephledawn this next month to kickstart our careers as magicians, which is why I offered to let you join me there."

Rigel serenely computed what he just heard and replied in turn to Alkali. "My name is Rigel. I am a bit of a bumpkin but I was also considered a prodigy back in my village. I mainly use fire magic, however, I have dabbled in earth magic."

"Okay," the young man nodded. "I'll take you back to my place for the night, then we can talk more in the morning."

Rigel nodded in gratitude and followed him to the biggest house in the town. Judging by size, it could be classified somewhere on the border of a house and a manor. Stone built, it reeked an aura of a serene tranquility; the feng shui of the building was favorable.

They walked inside, bypassing the guards, and Alkali showed Rigel to a room in one of the hallways. They  said farewell to each other and Rigel stepped inside. He looked around and was fairly impressed by the large room. He closed the door behind him, then dropped the act.

"Alkali… He seems like a good person. However, he thinks he is much more powerful than me so I can't truly trust him. There's no way he'll treat me the same when he sees how superior I am. I'll see his true colors then."

Rigel felt a feeling of deep loathing in the core of his consciousness but chose to ignore it. He felt that no matter how much hatred he felt, good allies were a must.

Rigel spent the night awake in his bed, theorizing on the complications that space magic held. He wanted to try getting 2 dimensions under his control, in order to teleport diagonally. He did take note of the bed for it was much nicer than the beds he slept in 2 thousand years ago, but after spending so much time resting on dirt he was perfectly fine with sleeping on nails.

At sunrise, he decided that it was an appropriate time to get up. He rose out of bed and saw that there was a fresh set of clothes folded up in a pile in front of his room. He looked around to see if he could identify who left it there to no avail. Shrugging, he picked up the pile and brought it into his room. 

He laid the clothes out on the bed and appraised them. They seemed to be cotton made, and were put together in a very nice fashion. The pants were a dull brownish-gray color, and the shirt was a long sleeve with black and white colorations.

Barely appreciating the thoughtfulness, he put them on and left his previous attire, the looted fur clothing, folded in a pile on the end of the bed.

"I need to take a bath. I'm absolutely filthy."

Rigel then confidently left his room and looked around for a maid or someone to ask about the whereabouts of Alkali. While the manor was large, it was no mansion, and Rigel found himself to have searched the entire downstairs in just 1 or 2 minutes. 

Befuzzled, he patiently waited downstairs and didn't dare intrude upon the upstairs section. He waited, leaned up against a wall, for a half an hour. Just when he was starting to feel desires to try something else, he heard a door close from upstairs. Satisfied, he patiently waited once more. A few seconds later, a familiar figure appeared on top of the stairs.

"Morning, Rigel. Have a nice night of sleep?" Alkali asked without airs. 

"Of course," Rigel chuckled in response. "The bed was the best I've ever slept on."

"That's goood," Alkali said with a long yawn. "My sister and I usually bathe around this time, care to join us?"

"Haha," replied Rigel. "If you want to say I'm filthy just say so. But, of course, I would love to partake in a good wash for the first time in a long time."

"Alright. Let's head on over to the bathhouse. We'll see Alkaline there most likely. She usually gets up early and runs a few kilometers before washing off."

Rigel nodded and followed Alkali outside. In the crisp morning lighting, Rigel could finally see Alkali in full quality. He was tall, around 6 feet, and had well-defined muscles. His pectoral muscles were visible through his shirt, and his calves bulged out through his pants. He had long, straight, brown hair a bit lighter than Rigel's, and had hazel eyes to match. All-around, Rigel viewed him as rather handsome. Age-wise, Rigel estimated that he was around the late teens, just a bit younger than Rigel himself when he first arrived in this new planet.

They walked through town and Rigel viewed in once more, in a different light- literally. The streets were still wide and the buildings were still nice looking, but the addition of color helped set Rigel's view of the village in stone.

Arriving at a small building just behind the manor, the 2 walked inside. Rigel silently appraised the interior favorably.

"This is the Jager family's private bathhouse. It doubles as both a spa and cleaning facility. The main pool is the spa, which we heat up with fire magic. There is also a room to clean yourself off before entering the spa."

Rigel nodded in acceptance. They undressed and went into a stone room with a drain in the middle, and a small pool with buckets next to it. They sat down at the edge of the pool and used the buckets to cleanse themselves.

After that, they entered the spa. To Rigel's surprise, there was already a person in the water. A beautiful girl with very similar characteristics to Alkali was leaning against the corner of the pool with her eyes closed, her small breasts just under the water level, just revealing a bit of cleavage. She had a very similar haircut as Rigel and Alkali- straight hair dropped down to just above shoulder level. 
Upon the duo entering, she opened her eyes and looked up at them. After getting a clear look at Rigel, she re-closed her eyes in silence. 

Unabashed, Rigel entered the hot water and took a deep breath while observing the intricacies of the room. The pool itself wasn't large, just a normal sized hotel hot tub comparing it to Earth, around 5 feet long by 10 feet wide. There was a small ledge around 2 and a half feet deep around the perimeter of the pool, and the middle was about 6 feet deep to Rigel's surprise. He was used to only 3 or 4 foot deep hot tubs.

He occupied the other back corner while Alkali rested just by the entrance, forming an isosceles triangle out of them. They rested their souls for a few moments in peace, until Alkali decided to introduce the 2 unacquainted individuals.

"So, Alkaline, this is Rigel, the man I picked up on the hunt last night. Rigel, this is the sister of mine I've told you about."

"It is a pleasure to meet you," she lazily said.

Rigel noted her lazy tone and replied appropriately, "Mm, likewise," and continued to bask calmly in the water. He was attempting to increase his familiarity with the element of water. He figured that water had never wronged him, and he had even used it to kill Syfeid before, so despite the fact that fire and water are contradictory in nature, he may have some success with it. 

Alkali, feeling a bit awkward, decided to make some more conversation. "So, Alkaline, what sort of training should we do today if we're going to include Rigel?"

Both Rigel and Alkaline perked up after hearing that. 

"I hadn't thought of it," said Alkaline, sounding exhausted. "Let's spar for a bit to see what level he's at."

Rigel just smiled wryly in response and Alkali nodded in agreement.

Acknowledging the fact that not Rigel nor Alkaline seemed to be in the mood to chat, Alkali finally gave up and relaxed both body and spirit. 

After satisfying themselves in terms of peace of mind, the trio exited the pool and changed back into their clothes. Apparently, Alkaline left her clothes in a cupboard in the entrance, which was why Rigel didn't see them upon entry.

Rigel was surprised to see that neither Alkali nor Alkaline seemed to mind at the slightest that he was changing alongside them. Despite her apparent susceptibility, Rigel paid the naked figure of Alkaline no mind at all. Even after 2 thousand years, he was still quite bitter about his inability to get it up. 

"I need to get a new body somehow," he thought to himself. "What's the point of living life if you can't live a little?"

A young man, on the brink of total despair, accidentally kills himself and finds himself in an alternate world- a fantasy one, at that- after meeting a mysterious 'god'. This young man arouses in his fantasy world with the power of immortality- true, godly immortality, and a goal: to possess a kingdom. 
Before long, however, treachery and deceit overwhelm him and leave him for dead. Forsaken by the world, he must attempt to not just survive, but thrive in this foreign new terrain.

Daily lesson in Latin! "Astrum" is a poetic term that can mean "star", "heaven", "glory", "constellation", or "immortality"; all of which pertain to the story one way or another. "Irae" (in this context) is the genitive singular form of "ira", which means "ire", "anger", or "wrath". The genitive form means that, in English, "of" would be added in front of the noun. So, "ira" (wrath), pertaining to "astrum"(star/immortal/heavens) is translated as "The Star of Wrath", "The Immortal of Wrath", or "The Heavens of Wrath". As for which pertains to the story best, I'll leave that up to you to decide.

Three weeks ago. In a distant galaxy.

If you saw that galaxy from a distant place, you could see a beautiful color that varied slightly between a green and a blue trout. That galaxy was called "La Esmeralda" due to its emerald green color. 
The Emerald galaxy opened the interest of the Federation to explore it, due to its strange planets that are believed to possess exotic resources of various types. But due to its remoteness, the Federation has not been able to devote much time to exploring it.
Within that galaxy, a lone ship traveled through space. It was a ship of the frigate type belonging to the Space Navy of the Federation. It was the F-034 Sinsheim.

The space frigates are one of the most common and numerous ships within the arsenal of the Federation Space Naval Force.
They are not the most powerful ships category, but they have a high versatility to perform different tasks. As the escort, surveillance, exploration, support, etc ...
The size of these ships may vary slightly, as well as their armament and transport capacity.
The Sinsheim belongs to the 80091 class of multipurpose space frigates. This series of frigates were made to be multi-role.
They are fast, maneuverable, capable of transporting equipment and troops, and have enough weaponry to annoy any enemy ship.

Currently,  the Sinsheim is entrusted with the mission of exploring a planet  designated  48234104 (Brown Sugar), within the 59340482 system.
The planet was called so not because it is full of sugar, but because of its light brown color similar to brown sugar.
According to some images of reconnaissance and three-dimensional scanners of the terrain, there have been indications that some civilization has inhabited the planet in the past.
In turn, it is expected that this planet is full of all kinds of known and unknown minerals. That aroused the interest of the scientists and military of the Federation.
Time later the Sinsheim arrived to the designated destiny.

. . . . .

On board the bridge, one could witness a certain tranquility. The bridge was lightly lit, mostly the lights came from the multiple LCD screens and the various holographic images scattered throughout the room.
There were not many people present, this is because all the systems are automated by AI. Basically, all the ships of the  Federation Space Navy  have an AI that facilitates the operations of the ships. This includes the Sinsheim, of course.
"How is going everything?" Asked a voice.
That voice came from the person who just entered the control  and operations room. He was a man who was in his 30-40 years old. He wore the traditional dark naval uniform of the Federation, his height was the average, about 180cm, his skin was of a Mediterranean tone and had a slight beard on his cheek. 
His mere presence engendered confidence and authority.
That man was Commander Azcacibar, commanding the Sinsheim.

"Captain on the bridge!" the next voice was the artificial voice coming from the AI of the ship.
"We are currently orbiting about 600km on Brown Sugar, the team of scientists are located at the following coordinates ..." said one of the crew inside the bridge.
"I suppose they will be collecting all kinds of samples, who accompany them?" Said Captain Azcacibar.
"They are accompanied by a hybrid platoon of support and recognition to ensure the protection of the camp in the area." Another crew member answered on the bridge.

When referring to the term "hybrid", it means that a military or civil unit is composed of both humans and other entities. Whether they are androids, autonomous drones, or people of other races. In this case, it is a platoon formed by humans and androids.
The army of the Federation is composed mostly of humans and autonomous androids of different types. But it also receives the support of some friendly space civilizations.
The federation since its inception, has devoted decades of studies of scientific and technological developments to reach the current level of civilization. Humans are already able to travel through space at light speeds, create temporary space tunnels to shorten the travels to distant places, create machines that are increasingly more advanced than the previous ones, the application of nano technology and much more ...
The search and colonization of planets is part of these advances.

"Exactly where are they located?"
"Right now they are exploring some ruins 14 kilometers from the camp, sir."
When the planet was discovered, the reconnaissance satellites found certain ruins abandoned all over the planet. That opened the curiosity of scientists to explore the planet despite being located in a galaxy outside the jurisdiction of the Federation. But that did not prevent the formation of a special team of geologists and scientists accompanied by military personnel of the Federation.

"They are taking their time, it's been 12 days since we arrived." Azcacibar said with a sigh.
"According to the data for the investigation of this mission, the team of scientists and geologists will spend about 14 days collecting all kinds of information on the surface."
"Only 48 more hours and then we can get out of this boredom."
"I hope that in the end they do not end up sending us to another faraway place, even though we can do space jumps, to spend a lot of time in this can be exhausting."
"Pfffffffffff"
The captain and the members of the crew on board the control room began to analyze all the information of the mission with interest. Some began to complain with humor since they are not accustomed to carry out this type of missions in faraway places.
But you could not do much. That was a mission of military scientific degree that the Federation has planned long ago and the sinsheim was in charge of carrying out such an exploration task.

ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!  SLIPSPACE ANOMALY DETECTED!

An alarm sounded throughout the room while the crew discussed the information with the captain about the mission.
That was the "Slipspace" anomaly alarm, which means that a space-time tunnel would emerge near the area.
"Pio-06 what's wrong?" asked Captain Azcacibar in a moderate and calm tone.
"The systems have detected the appearance of a dimensional space hole produced by an unidentified ship in the next distance.  Something seems to be coming towards us."
That voice came from Pio-06, the AI of the frigate Sinsheim. It was a male voice that spoke mechanically.
"Can you identify what type of ship it is?"
"Negative. I have only been able to detect the appearance of the portal, Capitan, the portal will open in 3.3 seconds."

All the ships of the Federation are equipped with a wide variety of sensors and detection systems that allow the tracking of all kinds of objects over long distances. Some ships have even galactic scope telescopes.

"Prepare level 1 security protocols.  All crew members to respective positions!"
That was the orders given by Commander Azcacibar. Due to the limited information on the situation, it was expected that certain rules and security measures would be activated.
While everyone was preparing in their posts, a huge hole appeared in front of the Sinsheim. 
That hole could be seen with the naked eye, but also was on the radar screens in turn there was a holographic simulation of the portal.

"Attention! Three unidentified ships approaching!"
From the portal came three ships of non-human aspect, those ships had the same color and were huge. Two of them were the same size, while the third was 10 times larger in dimensions than the others.
"That appearance. Pio-06, can you identify what kind of ships they are?"
"According to the data on ships not belonging to the Federation, and analyzing the dimensions and structure of those ships, they may have a draconian origin.
Everyone inside the room was silent, it was a cold and pointy silence.
"Display the data on the operating table!"

Holographic images of the three ships were visible to everyone inside the bridge. Some of its dimensions and other characteristics were shown.
The largest ship was a WYLLI-90 draconian battle cruiser, while the other two ships that accompanied it were the WAXIA-12 class destroyers.
Those were the designations given by the Federation.

"Damn it, what the hell are those guys doing here!" Someone said somewhat stunned.
"They surely came to visit us." Said another one of the crew in a sarcastic tone.

Suddenly, the ships began to perform some rather suspicious maneuvers.

"Captain! I detect high-energy particles being charged by a directed weapon!"
You could see how the largest ship was carrying a kind of high-powered laser weapon. It was obvious that this weapon was pointing directly at the Sinsheim.

"Deploy the energy shields! evasive maneuvers immediately!" everyone inside the bridge began to occupy their battle stations. Pio-06, the AI ​​of the Sinsheim began to deploy the defensive systems in an automated way, while the rest of the crew assisted with other functions.

At the same time, the enemy ship fired its weapon. Only a greenish flash could be seen being directed towards the Sinsheim.
That was the beginning of an incident in a remote place.

Year 2492. After several centuries of scientific and technological advances, humanity faces another war. But this time against a hostile alien civilization, which sees the progress of humans as a threat.

Genu Hoffman, a bionic soldier belonging to the fast-response special groups of the human federation, together with Iris, a multi-function autonomous android, is assigned the mission of going to Kirib 324451, a planet similar to earth that humans have  colonizing and directing an assault unit to repel an alien threat.

For this, it is decided to use a system of dimensional teleportation, but something ends up going wrong. Genu and Iris deviate from the dimensional trajectory and then appear in a completely different world. A world of magic and supernatural creatures.

They ended in a magical world in which they will be on their own judgment.
