Well, the first thing is that this is my first Gamer-style story, so I appreciate any comments that will help me improve both in writing and in the story itself. In any case, enjoy the chapter.
Die.
It is a term used when our heart stops sending blood, causing our brain to stop sending electrical waves all over our body, that is what I use to describe death.
You may know the definition of death.
But nothing prepares you for that feeling.
The feeling of death is simply... emptiness, you feel nothing. The only thing you can think of is what to do at that moment.
I guess I did not introduce myself, did I?
Well, my name is Shiro Vernel, my appearance is quite peculiar because I have white hair, something quite rare. I also have heterochromia, which is an abnormality that is present in the eyes giving them a different color.
But moving away from my genetic mysteries, I began to remember my death, how I was on my way to my house only to cross the street too soon and end up being run over. According to what I felt while I was lying on the street, I could notice several broken ribs and a crushed lung against what remained of my ribs. A painful way to die.
I was about to start remembering my past, but something stopped that train of thoughts, what was it?
He had learned that it wasn't worth to lament things that had already happened. The only thing we can do is move forward and prevent us from making those mistakes again.
Then in front of me appeared a rectangular tab of light blue color with letters that said:
You have been given the opportunity to have the power of the Gamer, ¿do you accept this gift?
Below this tab, there was the typical option to accept or reject, I lifted my arm and pressed the Yes button.
Instantly several tabs appeared in front of me, I assumed what would be the tab belonging to the skill of the Gamer, fix me on my status.

Description: Born in the USA, Shiro Vergen was considered someone very quiet and calm, almost never losing his nerves in any situation, after observing the situation of the world he decided to try to become a politician to improve things, but unfortunately he died and now he finds himself as the Gamer.
"Let's see, my status is fairly balanced except intelligence, well that thanks to my title, I also have 30 unused points, we will put 10 to VIT to increase my health, 10 to STR to increase my damage and 10 to INT because I am going to be a magician '' that argument served me well, I had always liked the magicians and now had the opportunity to be one.
After putting those points I closed the tab and went to Skills, opening and observing the skills that had been already unlocked.
Gamer's Mind (Passive) -Level MAX
Gamer's Body (Passive) - Level MAX
Observed (Passive) - Level MAX
Fiction Adaptation (Passive) - Level MAX
It was such as I feared, the three most basic skills of the power of the Gamer, in the future it is most likely to develop more, click on each one to know more about these skills.
Gamer's Mind (Passive) - Level MAX

Perfect if I get into a fight or in a situation of great tension.
Gamer's Body (Passive) - Level MAX

A skill like this is really going to be very effective, especially to avoid dying immediately... or at least I hope so.
Fiction Adaptation (Passive) - Level MAX
Description: This skill allows you to get fictional characters skills and add them to your own.
Interesting, this skill is very powerful, and extremely OP. More than anything It could be used for things like copying skills from Bleach Bankai, One Piece Devil Fruits or Naruto Senjutsu.
"Something tells me that in the future that will be very OP" I closed the skills tab and opened my inventory, not expecting to find anything, however to my surprise there was a black box with gold ornaments, use [Observe] in the box to see some information
Legendary Box
Description: This box has a [Legendary] type weapon inside. This box has been given to you by Gaia for unknown reasons.
Do you want to open the box?
Yes/No
"Okay, first a skill that can turn me into someone OP and now a box with a legendary weapon, the person who sent me this power really wants me being OP" Letting those thoughts fade I hit the button of "Yes" and it disappeared in an explosion of golden particles. Where the box was before now there was a European-style sword, except for a few things, the hilt of the sword was a dark blue contrasting with the top yellow at the edges, and the blade was a typical silver. Watching the weapon he could see that this sword was unique. I used [Observe] on the sword because I had the impression that it was slightly familiar.
Excalibur
Rank: Legendary
Durability: 500,000 / 500,000
Description: This sword was used by Arturia Pendragon during his time as king of Camelot in addition to the Fourth and Fifth Great War of the Grail. This sword is classified as an Anti-Strength sword in addition to Anti-Unity capable of annihilating 1000 enemies using its power. This sword is imbued with sacred power.

+1000 Sacred DMG to No Dead
+1000 Sacred DMG to Demons
+500 DMG
+ The user is able to channel MP on the sword to launch an extremely powerful beam of light, but this one will consume a lot of MP.
Looking at the sword again I came to a single conclusion.
OP
This sword was from the series of Fate/Stay Night which I did not finish seeing, but I saw the wiki to know more about their weapons, Servants, and other things. I can't complain about having this weapon, now if I found Gae Bolg or Ea I would be much happier. But for now this will do.
I put the sword in the [Inventory] and waited for something to happen, several minutes passed, and nothing happened. Then another tab appeared in front of me.
[We apologize for the wait. Now you will be sent to a different world, upon arrival you will be granted new memories to be able to fit in that world. Good luck!]
After these words, the whole place was wrapped in a blinding light wich forced me to close my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again the first thing that I noticed was that I was stretched in what I assumed was a sofa. I also noticed that I didn't recognize the house that I was in. Closing my eyes I concentrated on my memories, the first thing that came to me was my life on Earth, with a little effort my other "life" on this universe appeared before my eyes.
I noticed that there were several similarities between this world and my home world. The first is that I still have the same dream, to become a politician to change the world, my personality and the appearance had not changed.
But there it ended all the similarities.
In contrast, in this world my parents died in a car accident in which I also survived by little, luckily the only thing that the accident left permanently on me was a scar on my torso, close to the heart. According to the doctors, if it had struck two centimeters to the right I would be dead.
In any case, when I left the hospital I was about 11 years old when I finally had time to go to my house. I seemed to be quite intelligent for an 11-year-old child, accepting the death of my parents and preparing for a life of movement, doing part-time jobs.
About two years later I met Alice, an orphan girl who lived in the street, maybe I felt sorry for her, or I was just feeling alone, whatever was the reason I ended taking her off the street, I gave her shelter, food, and clean clothes. We stayed for another year there before I decided that she would become my surrogate sister, she accepted it, between many tears of joy, the happiness to finally have a family.
After that, we traveled all over the world, Italy, France, Rome, USA and last we ended here, in Japan.
Apparently, after a few months of sending requests to attend an Academy, we had been told that we had been accepted and had to present to the school in 6 months, but what surprised me was the name of the place.
Kuoh Academy
The Academy of DxD
That caught me off guard, but the surprise soon became an intense pleasure of looking for books. I was in a world full of supernatural beings, that meant a lot of magic. My chances of being a magician increased!
However I must also train physically, a magician has always been weak in melee. I have the Excalibur with me now so I have to practice and improve.
Coming out of my mental trance, I moved a little just to feel something heavy move in my chest, look down to find my sister, and I swear by all the gods that I could camouflage myself as if she were my real sister. She has long white hair, reaching her shoulders, her face was almost symmetrical, she was asleep leaning on my chest wearing pajamas (or what she supposed to be her pajamas) in which she had engraved some drawings of different mythological beings, Try to remember that was what we did last night, we started doing a marathon of Code Geass and Death Note with the aim of seeing which of the two series is better, which led to end up sleeping on the sofa. Look around me and I could see that the room we found was quite normal, there were two doors, one of them leads to the entrance while the other leads to the kitchen, in front of the sofa there is a small rectangular table, perfect if you want to put Some drink there, in front of this there is a plasma TV, neither very modern nor very old. At the entrance is the main door which leads to the street, inside there is a staircase which leads to the second floor which there are only two doors, the room of Alice and mine. I had to admit that the house was good enough, even so I had to raise my sister, because I would say that the time should be at 11:30 and we could not stay all day on the sofa, no matter how comfortable we are.
'' Sister, come on, wake up'' I spoke to my sister calmly as I moved her a little to wake her, after a few seconds she woke up and looked at me with her purple eyes, I watched for a few seconds and then looked around her and Talk to me.
'' Let's not do that again '' were his first words and I could not agree more, watching her fixedly decided to use Observe in her to know a little more.

Description: Born orphaned, Alice grew up in an orphanage until church members arrived and had the children come with them. They were all exposed to tests of the Sacred Sword project, whose objective was to try to create another Excalibur, however after a time the members of the Church decided to eliminate all the subjects, nevertheless two survivors were left, Alice and Yuuto Kiba. After escaping from the lazy Church through the streets until it was found by Shiro Vergen and that way becoming her little adoptive sister. Her dream is to have a great family and meet Kiba, who she supposes to be in Kuoh.
Oh shit, that would not have to be there, the Boosted Gear is supposed to be in Issei, not my sister (I still have a hard time getting used to it) which means I've stepped on butterflies, and some really big ones. In addition to that his background story is fucking tragic, although supposedly only Kiba was the only survivor of the project, perhaps my presence has changed more than I expected? I'd better make sure most things have not changed.
But if we go to Kuoh it means that there is a chance that Alice dies to reincarnate as a demon, I have nothing against Rias but I would not allow my sister to die, in one way or another I will avoid it, even if it means to destroy all the Occultism Club.
"Hello, are you there?" I left my thoughts again, had only spent five minutes in which I looked where my sister was, which was moving her hand in front of me.
"Yes, sorry I was just thinking," I answered vaguely, I knew that all this was too much in a very short time, even with Gamer's Mind, keeping me calm would take time to assimilate this, but unfortunately I did not have that much time, my sister is in danger Of death, so I'll have to train until the last minute.
'I have 6 months to prepare myself, prepare members of Kuoh, because I'm going to change a lot of things' I thought with an almost insane smile while my sister looked at me with some concern.
