Lately I've been starting to feel like I might have a hoarding problem. There are so many things inside the gate that I could literally drown someone in treasures. Yet despite this, I have found it incredibly difficult to bring myself to exchange items from the gate for credits. With enough credits, I could get nearly anything in the multiverse. That includes powers of anime characters if I could accumulate enough. But I have found it hard to part with items, despite them not having much use. I really have become a hoarder haven't I?
Well, I might as well try to figure out another way to get credits. But first I have some things that require my immediate attention. Like soundproofing the stable to the horse who I have recently named Jack. Luckily I'm a heavy sleeper, but I had to wear earmuffs to sleep last night.
"I do not blame you. Honestly I should have expected this." I tell the genetically screwed up horse who was currently somehow cuddled up to a glowing Viser.
"Neigh." At least he's apologetic about it.
I just realized, if Viser is a wanted stray devil. Would I get in trouble for housing her? Eh, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Speaking of which it's a good thing Koneko has no idea who Viser is at the moment.
"So what did you need?" I asked the white haired cat girl who visited this morning.
She was standing there, staring at the odd sight of the two monstrous centaur-like beings cuddling. I don't blame her, I was a bit weirded out by it too for a few minutes.
"Why?" she asked without much context
"I breed horses now." was my lackadaisical response to the question. Eventually she finally decided to ignore the two cuddling in the stable.
"Rias wants to meet you again." she held out a sheet of paper. Reminds me, I didn't talk much to her considering I was knocked out. I don't remember how I lost consciousness but I get the feeling it was uncalled for.
"What's this?" I ask while reading the contents. Is this a property deed?
"She says it's a token of good will." Huh, subtle of Rias to try and get on my good side despite the fact that I literally crashed through the walls of her club room. If I was a squatter in an abandoned home before, now I actually own this place if the deed is an official document.
"That's nice of her. Alright, when does she want to meet?" It'd be rude to not agree after she gave me official papers to the land I currently live on.
"Any time this week, she should be in the club room." Reminds me, the semester started a few days ago.
"Alright, I'll show up when I can."

"You want me to what?" Akemi asked as she was unsure if she heard her current teacher correctly.
"I want you." Gold pointed at her with 1 finger, then moved it over to his truck. "To run me over." he finished
"What!?" she questioned again
"Like I said I want-" he was cut off
"Yes! I heard you, but why?!"
"No need for too many questions, just do it." Gold sighed at the questioning
"No! I'm not going to commit vehicular manslaughter without a reason!" She spoke firmly
"So you would do it if you had a reason eh?" he glanced at her with a smile that seemed to annoy her.
"That's not the point!"
"Eh don't worry." he waved off her concerns "It wouldn't actually kill me, I know since it's my truck." Gold noticed her simply giving him a blank stare at this point.
"Alright fine, I will explain it to you once. This truck of mine is not a normal truck. Besides being nigh indestructible, it's main use is for traveling dimensions. When you run me over, you won't actually be killing me as I tweaked the settings, so relax." he explained to the girl who seemed doubtful. But then again Gold was a magical guy, it wouldn't be odd for him to have a magical truck.
"Couldn't you just drive yourself to wherever you wanted to go then?" she asked, poking a hole through his logic.
"There is a difference in traveling for when you get hit by the truck and driving it yourself. It would take too long to explain, so just do it. Also we have a meeting with the Occult Research Club in a couple days so be ready for that." He didn't feel like giving exposition.
"Wait, I thought they just wanted to meet with you though?"
"Silly Akemi, you need more experience when dealing with the supernatural. So of course I'm going to drag you along. Now get in the truck and step on the gas, I've set it so that the truck will not murder you for not being a designated driver." Normally, an isekai truck would reject anyone who wasn't the designated driver.
"Wait, this thing can kill me?" she asked incredulously.
"Anything magical could kill you, and make sure you get out of the truck after it hits me. Now step on it!" he spoke with annoyance.
"Fine!" the familiar sound of the engine roared to life as gold finally found out what it was like to get hit by his own truck. He knew pain-canceling bumpers was a worth-while investment.

My vision went dark for a bit. Sound and light disappeared from existence. The first thing I noticed was the soft brush of cold winds carressing my cheeks. The sound of horse hooves and the wheel of a wagon came on as my hearing returned.
My eyes felt a bit heavy, like trying to wake up from a deep sleep. Finally cracking open my eyes, I took in my current bearings. Tied hands? Check. In some old clothes that weren't mine? Check. Now if I set the coordinates correctly, at this point I should be hearing.
"Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border right?"
Oh good, I'm in the right place.

Well, I wanted to head to skyrim since I felt like learning some more types of magic. Also since I've been dabbling in alchemy recently, I thought it'd be a good place to get some ingredients.
Now you may be wondering, why did I let Akemi run me over instead of just heading to Skyrim myself? Well I figured, since I'm going to Skyrim. I might as well learn some dragon shouts while I'm here. While it's true that I could have learned it normally like the greybeards. But it's much faster to just become the dragonborn. The time it takes to learn the Thuum is questionable to say the least.
There are times when running people over, they don't get yeeted to a R.O.B. Instead they just immediately get sent to the next world without even meeting one. For that to happen, an Isekai driver would have to calibrate the place that they must be sent to. They would black out as the world laws would accept their existence, then they would be dropped into the world.
In my case, I set it so that the next person that was run over would be sent to Skyrim as the player character. This process doesn't actually kill the person that was run over, instead it transfers them as they are unconscious.
"Anyone else feel like running?" I hear a loud voice over my inner thoughts.
"Wait, you there. Step forward." Looking forward, I notice the familiar scene at the beginning of the game. I could easily get out of this, but let's just do this normally until I absorb the first dragon.
"Who are you?" Hadvar asked as he looked to me
"Gold Aversis."
"You picked a bad time to come home to skyrim, kinsman." He thinks I'm a nord? Is it because he doesn't know any humans with blonde hair besides nords?
"Captain, what should we do? He's not on the list." Hadvar asked as he looked to the female captain.
"Forget the list, he goes to the block."
"You sure? You'll regret this you know." I say to her, not in a threatening manner. I'm just stating it as a fact. She responded by giving my a sneer of derision.
Woman, I am going to murder you later for this. Actually maybe I should let Alduin burn you alive, nah I think it's better if I end you myself. The last thing you see is going to be my smug face, I'll make sure of that. Wow, I sound like an evil guy. I need to chill, lately I haven't been getting much sleep as I've been busy studying magic and practicing alchemy. I need to find some proper chill time, because I'm usually not this toxic.
"I'm sorry, at least you'll die in your homeland."
Welp, let's get this over with.

20 minutes later.
"I told you that you would regret it." Gold stood above the Imperial Captain.
Her legs were broken as she attempted to crawl back in fear. Gold took slow steps as a small flame lit up from his palm. It grew to the size of a boulder, he noted that she pissed herself.
"Bye." bringing down his arm, the flame began to burn her alive.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Gold noted that he felt a little better after that.
