Chapter 6

"AHHH!"

Alex's eyes snapped open, he quickly got up into a sitting position, his forehead was sweaty, and he was short of breath.

Very next moment he hissed loudly from pain, his hand moved towards his neck instinctively.

There was nothing there!

Even so, he already started hyperventilating.

"W-What just happened? The last thing I remember was…" His eyes widened remembering man-size wolves! "Dying…" He said that while looking at his hand.

*BAM*

His room's doors forcefully opened and a girl with purple hair rushed in.

"Alex! What happened!?" She quickly looked around looking for enemies.

Alex looked at her, then remembered…

"Right… I am in DxD…" His eyes hardened, he remembered what kind of world he lives in now and that he will need to get back to 'that' dungeon if he wants to get stronger.

He moved the blanket away and was about to get up from his bed, but he ended up collapsing on the ground.

Julis quickly rushed to his side, but then she saw scars on his legs, she gasped from shock.

"W-What happened to you?" The pinkhead spoke with a concern look.

She then looked even more closely at him, then she noticed more scars on his neck!

"What happened? those were not here yesterday!" The princess pointed out at the neck scars.

They were extremely visible! Large bite marks like these she would have seen them yesterday!

Alex moved his hand on his neck, he brushed his fingers through them, a phantom pain washed over, that moment he got a flashback, remembering man-size wolf lunging at him.

"My power… to gather more tickets is a dungeon-like…I got transported there when I went to sleep." He said while slowly getting up from the floor.

Julis eyes widened, a dungeon?

"W-What did you face? Those kind of scars…" She wanted to finish the sentence but she couldn't…

"Man size wolves which killed me there."

The princess mouth got dry when she heard that.

"T-Then…" She wanted to ask how he is alive in the first place? And why someone who does not have any powers apart from his falna has to fight monsters of that size?

"I want to know that too." He said that with a sad smile.

Julis nodded, allowing Alex to pass through her, he started walking towards the bathroom.

He was deep in through, the whole dying thing, has quite shook him up.

'It was like Dark Souls and…' His eyes widened with realisation. ' Monster Hunter?'

'Yes… at it's and it's only the beginning!' Alex frowned while thinking just how more dangerous it going to get.

He needs to adapt… to become a hunter in that place, otherwise he will die again!

His mind started wondering about the weapon he used, a sword… they are overrated and it cost him his life…

Unless of course, he gets a magical sword or magic which could increase the sharpness of the blade.

Otherwise, he is switching to mace, they are better for breaking bones.

Eventually, he ended up in the bathroom, he stood there looking at himself in the mirror, he can see some large bite marks around his neck area.

In the front and at the back.

They are very visible, not even lions or tigers of this world has teeth that size… That means he is going to need to wear clothes with a high collar to hide them... for now…

For now, he decided to focus on the day at hand, he is meeting Devils today, Sona's Peerage and maybe some of Rias peerage members.

He doubts he can hide his magical signature from them, he has no idea how to use magic in the first place…

Or does he? The 'Power Of Falna' give him hinds how to channel magic in some sense.

'Maybe I could find out how to use some basic self casting spells? Like reinforcement, or sharpening a blade?'

And so, he was thinking the entire time he was in the shower.

Once he was done he returned to his room and went to his wardrobe to look for clothes that could hide his neck scars.

Eventually, he found a black shirt that fits his description.

'Right, but first I should upgrade my stats…' He focused on his falna and followed the instruction he received from the card.

Only this time instead of just allowing it to do its thing he focused on the feeling.

He could feel some sort of energy flowing around his falna.

'Hmm, so that's should be magic?' He could see the bright light on his back glowing and then it settled down.

Alex got himself a piece of paper and used it to show his stats.

[Alexios Komnenos]

[Lv 1]

[STR: I 0 ----> I 3]

[VIT: I 0 ----> I 6]

[END: I 0 ----> I 4]

[AGI: I 0 ----> I 2]

[MAG: I 0 ----> I 2]

[MAGIC: POWER OF FALNA]

[SKILLS:]

When Alex saw his stats he was quite… disappointed, but then again… he got improvement in the magic category as well?

He only used Falna... twice? So he got one point per casting?

'If I continue like this I will a sorcerer in millennia or two!' He sarcastically thought.

After checking his stats he dressed up in Kuoh academy uniform and walked to the kitchen.

The first he noticed was his 'waifu' making breakfast, which is quite a surreal thing, seeing one of the anime characters alive and in his kitchen making breakfast.

It's going to take time to get used to it…

'At least something positive, from all this crazy madness which my life is turning to.' He internally sighed, he did enjoy looking at very serious Julis who was making sandwiches for their breakfast.

Eventually, she noticed him.

"Oh, you done with your shower? Are you okay?" She asked with concern.

"Yes, I am fine, sorry for hogging the shower without asking." Alex apologised, but Julis quickly shook her head.

"It's fine, don't worry, you needed it more then I did." She said that while looking back at the sandwiches.

Julis wanted to say more like 'she knows that feeling', but her death paled in comparison to his, and she simply is unable to say that.

"Do you need any help?" He asked curiously.

"No! You made dinner yesterday! Now it's my turn!" She seriously said that, and the girl won't going to take 'no' for an answer!

After experiencing his food yesterday Julis felt like she has been slapped to the face! Her woman pride has been stomped down.

That's why she wants to show that she knows how to make food as well and not appear as some useless Princess!

That's why she is making the best sandwiches possible!

Alex quickly raised his hands, seeing how serious she is.

"Very well, I will be watching TV then."

She quickly nodded seeing that Alex has given up, the princess likes the fact that he can read the atmosphere, for that she is relieved.

"Oh, by the way… the school uniform looks nice on you," Alex mentioned that with a smile.

He likes how the school uniform reveal all those nice and long legs.

Julis eyes widened for a second she instinctively tried to hide her legs with her short skirt.

"Stupid, perverted devils!" The pinkhead said that to herself, she was burning with embarrassment, she should have expected that the uniform they will have there will be perverted to some degree!

While Julis was doing her thing in the kitchen Alex went over to the living room and turned the TV on.

The first thing he saw was a Japanese morning show, on the Tokyo TV channel, his lips twitched what he saw.

It was some sort of tasting show, and the commentator was going over the top to explain thing…

Doing all those exaggerated noises as well.

"...I miss Simpsons…" Alex said with devasted sigh, he just died last night! Can't he enjoy his mornings properly!?

He quickly went through some channels, no anime was shown, so he decided to settle on some news channel.

But, he quickly lost interest in that and pulled out his phone.

His eyes slightly narrowed when he saw that there are two notification on that lottery app!

For a second his finger went over the app and waited before pressing it.

One second later the app started, the whole screen turned black, and the five options appeared.

Alex immediately saw the newest option which was 'THE Dungeon'. His eyes narrowed when he read that.

His first dive is very fresh in his mind!

He pressed these new options.

What he saw only two options there, which is 'Dungeon Selection' and 'Dungeon Settings'

For now, he decided to see what dungeon options he has.

Turns out he only has one… perfectly honest he would be more shocked if there was an actual choice!

'Northern Forest…more like ancient forest! Neither trees or the beast there are normal!' Alex inwardly groaned reading the name of the dungeon.

After checking that he returned to the previous menu, it was the 'Dungeon Settings'

'Well, this is much better…'

Alex was surprised that he saw there!

Auto loot [OFF] [ON]

Phone In dungeon [OFF] [ON]

Transfer gear from dungeon to Real World [OFF] [ON]

Mini HUD [OFF] [ON]

He quickly selected all of them 'ON', he has no idea how will his phone or the Mini HUD will help him, but any help will be appreciated in that place.

Once he was done there he returned to the main menu, he saw that the first option the lottery wheel was blinking.

'Hmm, I have a ticket? Don't remember killing anyone in THAT dungeon…' He curiously frowned for a second before pressing on the lottery wheel option.

[You have died! But, don't worry! R.O.B's Lottery Wheel has your back covered!]

[You Get: Free Spin!]

Alex eyebrow twitched when he was reading this… As he was expecting, R.O.B is watching him and his death was like an achievement or trophy in a video game!

Still, he gets something from… his death!

After somewhat calming down Alex inspected what was on the wheel.

Unlike his previous three spins, this spin was unique.

For one it doesn't had singular colour, he can see white, green, blue, purple and gold.

He knows that Purple is Epic rank and Gold is Legendary Rank.

That means blue, green and white are lower ranks.

'Yeah, white is complete rubbish… I get a box of potato chips for my death? Like hell!' He seriously was pissed when he read that one!

But, he quickly forgot about that one as he read the other ones.

What he quickly noticed that all of the power or power up or items he sees are from DxD!

The Legendary one will give him Longinus Gear, the Epic one will give him a High-Grade Sacred Gear, or another spin for Devil magic.

There were only two epic and one Legendary, but there were eight ones for blue and 32 for greens! And the rest of them were for white ones… the white ones had the majority of rubbish things, but some items were… okay… one of them was Desert Eagle… or even AK 47…

'Hmm, a ticket for world travel? Why is it in the white category?' Alex was slightly confused when he saw that the rubbish category had a ticket for world travelling!

'Right let's get this over with…'

He pressed the spin button and the lottery wheel started to spin, Alex tried to control himself and not to look too excited.

But, it is quite hard, for one he needs some sort of edge in 'THE dungeon'.

And another he might get a sacred gear…

Eventually, the wheel stopped on the blue category.

It was a picture of lightning…

[Congratulations! You got: Electrokinesis!]

"Damn… that's not bad! I am the Biri Biri of DxD now?" Alex said with a smile, his mood just went up by several levels!
