Chapter 1 - I reincarnated as a dragon egg?

Hi, my name is Tyson, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a normal kid, the kind you can find anywhere.

Like any ordinary kid, I have friends, I've had a girlfriend, etc...

I have parents who love me, little brothers I have to take care of...

About my hobbies... I like various things. I love football, I like video games, and above all I like anime.

Not only anime but the whole culture in general. I like reading light novels, I love reading web novels, I like reading manga, and I like watching anime. Hmm, now that I think about it, could I be considered Otaku?

Well, it depends on how you look at it. I'm not the type to dye my hair and cosplay. I also don't discriminate against people who do it, since I have friends who do it.

I'll leave it at that I enjoy it, but I'm not a fan.

Well, maybe I am a fan, but only in the case of two franchises.

One is the FATE franchise, and it doesn't matter what FATE we're talking about. I love you all. A lot of people criticize Emiya for being a shitty leading man...

You suck my balls all over Emiya's haters!

Just think, if Emiya wasn't like that, how could Archer have existed?

He.

You hadn't thought about it, had you?

Cough, cough. Let's get back to the subject.

The second franchise I love is High School DxD. From this one, I've read up to volume 24 of the light novel.

Speaking of which, volume 25 of the novel came out today, and I went to buy it this morning. But I have a problem, I won't be able to read it.

I suppose you're wondering why. Although many of you don't care at all.

The answer is: I'm dead!

Now you may be asking yourself: If you're dead, how are you telling this?

Well, I'd say it's not easy to explain, but it's actually quite simple.

When I left the store after buying the new DxD volume, I saw a little girl crossing the street. To my horror, she was about to be hit by a truck.

I don't know where I got the strength and courage, but I managed to save her at the last minute. At the cost of my life, of course.

And so I find myself in a great hall surrounded by what appear to be "gods". In the center of the room was the same girl for whom I had lost my life moments before. She was leaning towards me.

"So, have I died for nothing?"

This "goddess" is nodding her head incessantly.

"Sigh, raise your head."

"Please forgive me."

It doesn't look like the goddess is going to raise her head if I don't forgive her. Aah, that's annoying, I just wanted to read my new novel...

"I forgive you."

"Really! How happy I am!"

Are you an idiot? There's no way I can forgive you that easily. You killed me, you know?

"But I don't think asking for forgiveness is enough. You should have lived 78 years, along with losing your life to save a supreme goddess... You have enough karma!"

I don't understand anything she's saying. What karma? What nonsense is she saying? Wait, why is she talking to herself?

I looked at the rest of the "gods". Can't you guys do something?

Wait, why are you looking away? What about your guilty looks?

"From what I've seen before, you like that anime world of DxD. Mmm... I know!"

Aah, this stupid goddess, she keeps thinking out loud. Mom, I want to get out of here now, going shopping with you wasn't that hard!

"Well, listen to me, mortal. I've decided to give you two choices. The first is to make you a god and help me rule the multiverse. The second is to reincarnate. Choose carefully."

Huh? Can I become a god? It sounds pretty good, but... Why is the face of all the other gods blue? Were they like me, and had they become gods using this method? If so...

"I want to be reborn!"

The goddess nodded. Maybe she expected it? Well, I want to get out of here now.

"Your wish will be granted. Now, let me transport you to your new world."

What's this? There's a light wrapped around me. I feel my body lightening and vision fading.

"Oh, let me warn you about something. This is not a normal reincarnation. You'll keep your memories of your past life, and your reincarnation will be on par with the amount of karma you have."

It's the voice of the goddess. What the hell is she saying?

"I usually give a system to those who choose this option... In your memories, I've seen that you're a fan of that other universe, Nasuverse."

"I know! I'll upgrade the system to include elements of Nasuverse!"

This goddess is crazy. My consciousness is disappearing...

"Bye-bye!"

Bye-bye your mother!

.........…

A world of darkness. That was the only thing I could see when consciousness returned. From that moment on, it's been a few hours, maybe days.

That damn goddess... She said so much that I was going to be reincarnated with a system and all...

Damn it! Did she send me to a world of darkness?

I swear I'll kill her...

Crack!

Huh? Cracks have appeared in front of me. I am finally light in this world of darkness. The break in front of me is getting bigger, so I'm going to look for it.

Hmm, is this a forest? And it looks like I'm on top of a tree.

To begin with, I'm going to stand up. As I'm getting up, I hear sounds of something breaking under my feet.

Hey, what's this weird thing I'm on? I mean, why does it sound like it's breaking?

As I say that, something pops into my mind, it looked like those typical game menu screens.

Isn't this thing... just like one of those RPG screens?

[Status screen was opened]

These words were still floating in my head.

Eh? Status screen?

[The status screen helps to easily understand one's ability and level by converting it to numerical values and written.]

Eh, was my question answered?

[The special skill [God's Voice: Lv1] explains or describes anything related to items and status.]

[It will also notify any change to the status that is done.]

Wait a moment, what is this? When did this happen? ehh? Could this be, could this possibly be the system the goddess was talking about?

[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain.]

What?

Lv1 isn't able to explain, could it be that it needs to be higher lv to be able to?

Anyways, who's talking?

[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain.]

Who are you?

Also, where is this place?

[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain.]

You want to screw me, right?

.....

Well, that voice seems to have gone quiet. I'm going to see if I can find anything around me.

Suddenly my field of vision narrows. It looks like... a fall! I'm falling right now!

tsutsutsu…

It seems that somehow I fell from the tree, and it is reasonably tall. But somehow, it seems that I'm still alive.

[The resistance skill [Physical Resistance] lv up from 1 to 2]

[Resistance Skill [Fall Resistance: Lv1] was acquired]

What's this?

Enduring the impact made my skills get stronger??

Ah!, my HP decreased to 3! Does that mean that if it becomes 0, I will die?

This is a dream? This is a dream, right?.

[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain.]

That damn goddess...

Well, it's okay now. If I continue with this, I'll just keep stressing myself.

I look at the tree from which I just fell off, but I can't even see the top of it. What a small field of vision, I can't even move my neck…

Oh, there is a spring of water on the other side! Let's confirm my appearance on the reflection.

I stare intently at the water surface, trying to see my reflection.

A huge egg. There is a hole in the eyes and feet section.

The odd size and cracks here and there, appearance, the feeling, how do you say this... all these are the standard features of an egg...

Ahh, what is this?

Without a doubt, this is me, I was really taken aback by the reflection in the water.

Me? Is it really me? This is really me! I don't understand! How did this happen!. Answer, you idiot!

[ [Dragon's Egg] is an F rank monster]

[The son of a dragon, an incomplete monster with self-conscious.]

[The inside of the egg is incomplete. If the shell is broken, you will die.]

GODDAMN GODDESS...
