The sunlight shone brightly in the middle of the blue sky. Under this bright light, people walked cheerfully through the streets, some apparently drunk and others simply laughing as they talked.

And in a luxurious house, a bit away from the center, suddenly, I woke up.

My eyes roamed around the place, trying to identify where I was.

A slip-up… because of a slip-up, I was isekai'd.

Knowing that complaining wouldn't change things, I decided to accept this new life.

Yes. Was I upset? Yes.

Would I keep complaining like a fool? No.

Maybe, deep down in my heart, I had the desire to be isekai'd. Just maybe…

I got out of bed and went towards the mirror hanging on the wall.

I want to know if I kept my appearance from the other world.

As soon as I stood in front of the mirror, I could see my appearance.

V-shaped face, long dark green hair with a small fringe at the front and other strands on the side. Sharp emerald-colored eyes. Pale skin accompanied by various tattoos forming flower petals, at a certain point these designs join together to form a blue dragon on my right arm.

Yes. I have the appearance of Yan Qing from Fate/GO.

I was surprised.

Yan Qing is a character I like, and his appearance is handsome. At least it's much better than from my past life.

It's a pity that I only inherited his appearance.

I tried to use the powers I knew of Yan Qing, but failed.

It seems I'm just an ordinary human.

Sighing, I looked at the clothes on my body.

They are the same as Yan Qing wore.

I can't walk on the streets with these clothes, it's too eye-catching.

I went to the wardrobe in the room.

Opening it, I could see various clothes hanging.

Some were clothes that Yan Qing at some point in his life wore.

"If you want me to become Yan Qing. Then at least give me the same powers."

I murmured, picking up the uniform that was hanging on one of the wardrobe hangers.

I took off the clothes I was wearing. And put on the uniform.

"I am… handsome."

I couldn't resist, I had to say it.

I realized the uniform I was wearing was from Kuoh Academy.

So… High School DxD.

I can't say I dislike this world.

I just find it dangerous.

Since I didn't inherit Yan Qing's powers, I could only be a regular human.

But… just a regular human?

How could I accept that?

After the events that led to me being isekai'd, I wanted to be anything but ordinary.

Being ordinary would make me suffer the same fate that brought me here.

"I need to think of a way to become stronger."

I started to come up with some ideas.

The first one was the most obvious. To be reincarnated as a devil.

Unfortunately, that seemed unrealistic at the moment.

I didn't have any visible Sacred Gear. Why would a devil waste an Evil Piece on me?

I tried to do like Issei, imagining myself using unimaginable power to see if I could get a Sacred Gear, but I ended up failing.

So, onto the second option.

Join the church! Wait… maybe not.

I could only join the church after the peace treaty between the three factions was signed. Otherwise, I would be a target for devils. Also, the churches in this city are taken over by fallen angels, I doubt they would let me join them.

Flee to another country? It was an option. But I quickly discarded it.

This world has infinite mythologies.

Many unknown to me.

Moreover, this is a real world, not the anime.

If I go to an unknown country, I won't know how to deal with the situations that might occur.

Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators!

If I go to China, I might become the target of some Chinese god with a young master syndrome.

Europe? Pft! That place is infested with vampires.

I may not know at what point in the timeline I am.

But I have read many stories, and every time the characters were sent close to the beginning of the timeline.

Dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform, I was sure that the original plot was not far from starting.

Maybe days? Months?

Despite the most dangerous place still being Japan, I at least knew the plot of this place and could avoid certain death situations.

Suddenly, I felt a slight headache.

A few memories began to flow into my brain.

I thought I was receiving the so-called 'golden finger'.

But it was just some memories about this house and basic information about where I was.

It seems I really won't receive any cheats.

I picked up the backpack that was under my bed and put it on my back.

I went to the drawer where I kept my underwear, and took out my leather wallet.

Opening the wallet, I took out the student ID and discovered the name I had.

Yan Qing…

I even inherited his name. I hope I also inherited his talent for martial arts.

Knowing everything I needed, I left the mansion.

Maybe the God of Trucks felt bad for deceiving me. He allowed me to live in this luxurious mansion and have a passive income.

Yes. I opened my phone and discovered that I had a huge amount of money invested.

Well… maybe money is my superpower. Just like Batman.

Even dressed in the school uniform, my appearance attracted attention.

Women on the street looked at me with thirsty eyes, and men seemed envious of me.

Truly a perverted world…

Looking at the structure of the gigantic school in this city, I must admit I was impressed. The schools in my past life weren't even close. Even comparing them seemed like blasphemy.

As a transfer student, I needed to go to the student council room, which is funny, right? What does the student council have to do with my transfer? Shouldn't I be going to the school's main office?

Despite these questions, I knew that the devils controlled not only this school but also the entire city.

Having no powers, I wasn't afraid to meet the devils of this school.

They would just think I was a regular student. Maybe a bit more handsome than average. Ok, I wasn't just a bit more handsome than average.

I must admit, except for the characters who appear in the anime and novel, everyone else is ordinary. Even Issei's friends had common appearances.

Running my hand through my fringe, I sighed. I hope I don't get into trouble.

I felt many eyes on me as I passed through the school gate.

I was afraid that the moment I crossed the school gate, I would be teleported somewhere else. I guess I have a bit of trauma due to past events.

Walking through the school, I noticed the campus was much larger than I had imagined.

"Kyaah!"

I looked in the direction of the scream and saw three guys dressed in the same uniform as mine running desperately.

Behind the trio, a group of girls ran with wooden swords in their hand.

"So it's the legendary trio…"

I had no intention of getting involved, but seeing the perverted faces of the trio, something in me made me interfere.

When the trio was close enough, I lightly stretched my right leg forward, causing the glasses-wearing boy to trip, which consequently made the other two fall on top of him, as they didn't expect their friend to fall.

The trio did not expect someone to attack them in such a distinct manner.

Not wanting to get into trouble, I left that place as quickly as possible.

"Aaaaahhhh! Sorry, forgive us!"

"Aaaaaahhhh!"

"Issei, you told us this way was clear! Aaahh!"

Even from a distance, the cries of pain from the trio were still audible.

I didn't expect to encounter them so quickly, but this is also good.

I was able to confirm at what point in the timeline we are.

He hasn't been reincarnated as a devil yet. I just need to observe him from time to time.

Wait… does this make me look like a stalker?

Forget it! Let's go to the Student Council.

While I was heading to the Student Council, I felt a hand grab my left shoulder.

Turning around, I saw a beautiful girl smiling.

The girl is slender with long brown hair ending in two short braids, and matching eyes. She also wears a blue headband.

"Eh… can I help you?"

I asked, confused about being stopped so abruptly.

"I'm Reya Kusaka from the Student Council. I saw what you did back there."

Reya explained that she saw me put my foot out to make a boy fall.

"Oh. It's about that…"

Not wanting any trouble, I ended up explaining why I did that. She agreed and said that the trio got what they deserved.

But even though she thought I was right, she still had to make a report, which I agreed to.

This spared me the trouble of looking for the Student Council, as I now had a beautiful girl taking me there.

"So, Yan Qing, right? Your name is Chinese, so I suppose you are Chinese?"

That question… isn't it a bit silly? Looking at the slightly flushed face of the girl beside me, I realized why she was acting this way.

Sigh! It's hard being handsome.

"Yes. I moved to Japan recently."

"Your Japanese is very good, if it wasn't for your Chinese name, I'd never know you were actually born in China."

"Really?"

"Yes."

We talked a lot and only stopped when we arrived in front of the Student Council room.

Reya's expression turned serious, befitting a member of the Student Council.

"You look great with that expression."

Unfortunately, it only took that phrase to make her serious expression break into pieces.

I didn't use the word 'beautiful' because that might be invasive for someone I just met. While women like compliments, I couldn't be so direct, otherwise, it would have the opposite effect. And they would start to dislike me.

"Silly…"

She blushed in embarrassment.

Knock! Knock!

I knocked twice on the Student Council door.

I heard footsteps coming from inside the room.

Reya, standing beside me, managed to calm herself and returned to her serious expression. She didn't forget to give me a look that said not to say that again.

Nodding my head, I kept silent.

I must say, Yan Qing's appearance matches my personality.

The door opened.

The first thing I saw when the door opened was a beautiful woman with glasses, long straight black hair extending to her knees, with a split fringe and heterochromatic eyes.

Tsubaki Shinra.

Looking at her more closely, I must admit. She is a beauty.

I haven't met Rias or Akeno yet. So at the moment, Tsubaki was the most beautiful woman I've seen since I arrived in this world.

Reya, standing beside me, took a step forward and bowed slightly to Tsubaki.

"Vice-President. I've brought a transfer student."

Tsubaki first nodded to Reya and then turned her gaze to me.

We stared at each other for a few moments before she broke the silence and said, "Alright, come in."

"Did you bring your documents?"

As soon as I entered the student council room, Tsubaki asked me.

"Yes. They are in my backpack."

"Okay. You can sit in that chair there."

Tsubaki pointed to the chair in front of the desk that seemed to belong to the president of the student council.

"The president went out to talk to the director, so you need to wait a few moments until she returns."

"Yes."

I nodded my head to show I understood.

I couldn't help but look around the student council room.

It was huge.

From the outside, it seemed like just another ordinary school room. But once I entered, I realized this place was enormous.

Are they using magic to make this room bigger?

It was a shame that only me, Reya, and Tsubaki were in the student council room.

I would have liked to meet the other members.

Why? Well… if I can't become strong, then how about becoming friends with some strong people? That should work, right?

I'm not arrogant enough to think I can solve everything alone.

Currently, I have no strength or contacts, so I need to start everything from scratch.

Starting by making friendships and connections with people from the supernatural world.

Indeed, before reincarnating, I had said that effort does not beat talent.

I still don't know if I have a talent that compares to the powerful ones in this world.

But if I don't, I will use what I have at my disposal to become like those politicians from my past life.

With just a few words, those politicians controlled the lives of millions.

If I make the right connections, I can do that too.
