"Why did I agree to this?" Akemi groaned out in despair as she continued to clean the debris from the main floor of the abandoned house.
"Because I threatened to crash my truck into your house." Gold replied nonchalantly as he began decorating the place slowly with sets of armor that he decided not to wear from the Dark Souls world. "Plus you were interested in getting stronger after realizing you were in a world where beings much more powerful than you existed."
"I thought you said you would teach me how to get stronger, not how to do chores." She complained while sweeping dirt on the floor.
"The first lesson is humility, and also I've been meaning to clean up the main part of this place anyway. So it's two for one!" Gold spoke sagely as the great teacher he knows he'll never be.
"That sounds like a load of bull." She said skeptically.
"Well you gotta start small since you didn't want to become a devil." When Gold found out that the protagonist didn't want to become a devil, he nearly drop kicked the girl on the spot.
"Well aren't devils like evil or something?" Akemi asked as it felt like it should be common sense for devils to be bad guys.
"Eh, good and evil is pretty subjective. Tell me, do you think every single human in the world is a good person?" Gold asked while dusting the ceiling
"Uh... no?" she hesitantly replied
"Good, then ignoring your pre-existing beliefs. Do you think all devils are bad while all angels are good?"
"I.. I don't know?" her head was starting to hurt from thinking this through.
"Exactly, you don't know until you hang around them long enough to form your own opinion. Also help me hammer the nail for this stable here." he called over from outside the main hall.
"You own horses?"
"Not just any horse, the most genetically screwed up horse enhanced and altered through magic." Through his studies of different systems of magic. He had spent time with alteration magic on random animals.
"Neigh." The horse didn't make a neighing sound. It literally said the word Neigh in english.
"Oh my god!" Akemi shouted out in shock of the incredibly large muscular steed
"Yes, he's something isn't he?" Gold seemed to be incredibly proud of it.
"A-Are those fists?" She asked as there were muscular human arms protruding from the sides of the horse.
"Damn right, show her horse!"
*POW* The horse immediately sucker punched Akemi, leaving her knocked out on the ground.
"Huh, it's yamcha's death pose." Gold noted as he stared at the girl's positioning on the ground.

In my free time, I've been dabbling with alchemy lately. Just some random materials found from the gate and other worlds.
"What's this?" I hear Akemi ask
"It's an elixir I made that will make you literally the most powerful magic user in the world." I had to exchange credits for an identifier app on my phone.
"Oh, that sounds incredible?"
"Also it will kill you 10 minutes after consumption."
"That's terrible! Why would you make this!?" She backed away from the vial in shock.
"Well I was really drunk when I made it." Before making it, I was trying to make the greatest alcoholic drink that would immediately get you hammered without killing you.
She seemed to give me an unreadable expression. Perhaps she is in awe of my genius to be able to make such a thing while drunk!
"Now then onto the next lesson!" I reveal a whiteboard from behind the curtain of my basement. Why does my basement have curtains despite having no windows? For style!
"Angels, fallen angels, devils, humans, and dragons." I write out on the whiteboard with floating pictures underneath.
"There are of course more races in this world, but for now we'll only talk about the ones that will probably be relevant to you in the near future." It's better not to overwhelm her with information.
"Okay?"
"The angels, fallen angels and devils from the bible were in a great war in the past. It ended with a ceasefire after the 4 maous and god of the bible died." Incase the history of this world was different, I'm going to be vague.
"God is dead?" I'm more surprised that she didn't ask if God was real.
"Yes but it's not a well known fact. Only higher ups of each faction really know of it. Back on topic, today they are divided into 3 factions." I checked, I literally searched for god in the tracker. He's dead, that's right. Even a god can't hide from truck-kun!
"The Angels of Heaven, The Fallen of Grigori and the Devils of the New Satan faction." I drew a crude angel in the sky along with a devil in the underworld along with fallen living with them in the underworld in some other territory.
"New? Was there an old one or something?"
"Yes, but I don't have much in depth information on them. But basically, the old faction are generally assholes."
"Now then, dragons. This one has the most relevance for you." I say while my whiteboard disappears as a mental image of a red dragon appears in it's place.
"But, I'm human."
"Yes, but you have something called a sacred gear that houses a dragon which is currently dormant inside of you."
"I do!?" Oh look, now she gets excited. It's like seeing a kid get excited over the fact that they got a new toy.
"Yep, Sacred Gears are artifacts from the God of the Bible that are given to humans at birth. Basically they are super powers you're born with." If I ever met Azazel, then I'd like to ask for his research on Sacred Gears. Was wondering if I could grab one myself, even if I didn't need it.
"How do I use it then?!" she asked eagerly with stars in her eyes.
"Try holding your arm out and imagining something powerful to you." That was how it was done in the anime if I remember correctly.
After waiting for a moment, nothing changed. I guess it's still dormant.
"Nothing's happening." she stated the obvious.
"I noticed, it's probably still dormant. Guess we need some stimulation then."
Raising my palm, a flame sparked alight from the center. The flame increased in size and turned golden. My bored expression didn't change as Akemi started to get visibly nervous.
"I'm going to throw this at you." I bluntly stated
"What!?" she shrieked out.
"There is no better stimulation than your life being in danger." Maybe there is, but I don't personally know of it.
Raising the golden flame orb with my arm, I get ready to do exactly what I said I would. Either she dodges or the stimulation would cause her to subconsciously bring out the boosted gear out of fear for her life. A moment later, I let the flame disappear as my eyes widened a little. Akemi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh, I take it back. We have a volunteer to help you." I grin as my bounded field seemed to pick up an intruder.

"What the hell are you?" Viser shouted out as she took distance from the body building horse with muscular arms on the sides. The moment she stepped onto the manor, the damn thing appeared out of nowhere and punched the lower half of her body which looked reminiscent of a centaur.
"Neigh." The horse seemed to want to fight as it's hands motioned into a 'come at me' gesture.
"Come on big boy, wouldn't you rather play with these?" Viser began to play with her tits as the horse seemed completely unfazed. However she noted that it's lower limb seemed to be more honest.
"Okay, I'm going to just stop this right here before it gets gross." A man in scaled armor dropped down from the ceiling. He turned to look at the genetically modified horse. "Really?" Gold asked in a flat voice.
"Neigh." The horse seemed to become embarrassed for a moment as it lowered it's head in shame.
"You know what, I get it. I know what it's like to be backed up." Gold sighed as he expressed empathy at the horse's plight. The horse had needs and when it saw a centaur looking girl with huge tits, it couldn't help itself.
"You want in on this too?" Viser asked sultrily with a voice full of lust.
"Nah, I'm good. But anyway since you intruded on my home, I'm gonna need you to fight this girl here." He spoke as Akemi seemed to drop from the ceiling.
"AAAAAAAHHH!" Her descent was stopped as Gold grabbed her by the back of the collar.
"And what makes you think I would just do anything you said."
"Well that's a good question." he admitted as chains wrapped around the stray devil from the gate. "If you don't, then you're going to be the ingredients to the next potion I make." he threatened as a golden swordspear was brought near her face.
Viser didn't know why, but she felt her existence to be incredibly miniscule in the face of the swordspear the moment he brought it out. "And you will let me go if I do as you say?" she asked a bit more humbly this time.
"I promise I will not kill you if you do this." Gold promised with sincerity as he released her from her bindings.
"Very well. Come little girl, let this big sister show you what a real lady is like."
"W-Wait, don't I get a weapon or anything?" Akemi was on the verge of freaking out as she didn't think she stood a chance against the stray devil monstrosity.
"I guess you should." Gold relented as he threw out two items for the girl.
"Seriously!?" she asked incredulously as the two items she got were a wooden club and a shield.
"Hey, I started out with just a club as well. You got this!" Gold encouraged
"This is so unfair!" she whined
"Life is unfair, get used to it." he spoke while sitting down on a foldable chair.

"Come out little girl, don't hide." I hear Visor taunt as I floated above the ruined field on my foldable chair.
Perhaps this is going overboard, but I honestly thought that this was a good way to bring out the boosted gear. At this point, Visor is toying with the girl. Akemi literally tried to run away from the property at some point but realized it was impossible. I set up my bounded field so that people can get in easily, but will find it difficult to get out if I don't allow them.
"This is useless!!" I hear the genderbent protagonist whine as the wooden club couldn't hurt Visor.
"Look closely at my sexy tits!" Visor started spraying out magical blasts from her nipples. Which is honestly bizarre to see up close. Using your own nipples as a medium for magic circles. Truly an odd sight.
Akemi is being silent as she focused more on dodging and getting behind cover. The pillar that she hid behind crumbled. Damn, I'll have to fix that later. The eagle shield that I gave her shattered under the barrage of magic. It lasted longer than I thought it would.
I can see it, the fear and terror in her eyes. Viser really is great at causing suspense, she's taking slow steps towards her the moment her shield broke. I can see it in her eyes, the desire that practically says 'I don't want to die'.
She held up her arms in defense, tears were running down her face at this point. I feel like an asshole, but it's all worth it to see that red glow. A red gauntlet with a green jewel manifested onto her left arm.
"That's enough!" I call out, but Viser didn't seem to hear me.
*POW* Luckily before she could land another hit, she was immediately punched through a wall.
"Nice job." I gave a thumbs up to the geneticly modified horse. "I said I wouldn't kill her so... you can have her." I tell him as I made my way to the trembling girl. I really should name that horse soon. Unfortunately I would later realize that I needed to sound proof the stables.
"Good job, you unlocked your Sacred Gear." I give her a sincere congratulatory clap.
"I-I... I did it?" she opened her eyes to look at the gauntlet on her arm. It wasn't complete, but Ddraig should start waking up soon.
"Yep, congratz. You have something that can kill gods now." I say while pulling her up.
"I'M ALIVE!" She shouted out with a hop.
She seemed more happy about being alive. Fair enough.
