This first chapter was made when I was in like 7th grade and was just typing out whatever came to mind for a story intro.Therefore I ask that you do not start any criticism before you read Chapter Two, which is a more current –and accurate— representation of my writing abilities.Thanks for deciding to give this a read! See you at the bottom!
My life was the most basic routine it could ever be as a young twenty year old that's just made it into the world. But I guess the slight difference which isn't that big, or I'd like to think so, is that my dad is the owner of one of the largest and successful Law Agency in New York and he's getting close to being able to be considered one of the best in the country.
My mom used to work at a private military organization that does anything from security to private investigating. Sometimes though I like to think that they might do assassination, and more darker operations depending on the price and probably the target they get paid to go after.
But she stopped working there when I was seven, ever since for fourteen years I've lived with a loving stay at home mother whose taken care of me and my little sister, with a age difference of 3 years, and had us drilled in the training she went through in her past job.
While growing up, in between training and private tutors of course, I came across anime and it became one of my most watched genres ever since, functioning otaku and not a weeb. Me and my sister shared the same excitement over the genre which is why we now live together and continue to watch anime on our off days from the respective jobs we have, we also make sure to stay in shape and go outside daily to remain functioning members of society.
Like my mother I took up a job in the same PMO that my mom worked at which I had come to learn was named Hyperion, the Greek God of light I believe, and had a separate corps named Selene after Hyperion's daughter and Goddess of the moon to signify the darker part of the military organization. Thanks to the fact I had advanced training from my mother and smarts close enough to the leader of the PMO, I ended up in the Selene unit after my first year.
When it came down to it my life can be considered average given the circumstances I was raised in, which is why I fail to understand why people look at me in admiration and envy whenever my family meets up to have dinner not made by me or the personal chefs my parents have hired at the family home.

I kept calm as I leaned against the corner of a wall as I motion for two of my unit to move to the other side as I move forward around the corner. As I entered with a silenced P-09 in my right hand, I aimed at a guard walking down a corridor with his back turned to me and executed him by shooting him in the top most part of his neck. Seamlessly one of my unit came from a corner and grabbed the body before it impacted the ground and executed a second shot incase the guy was still alive then move him into a more secluded area.
Signaling that he was moving back into position the man disappeared around the corner with only the slight sound of his boots.
'I'll have to plan more stealth drills if their steps are still this loud. I can worry about that later, for now I'll have Lilith move in on the target with me'
The lapse in concentration only lasted two seconds before I motioned for Lilith to move up to my side, knowing she was already watching my back as she moved towards I continued onwards until I arrived at a corner that we needed to proceed down to reach the target. Looking down the corner I saw four guards positioned there walking the down the corridor after leaving what could only be assumed a break room.
Turning towards my left I saw Lilith standing beside me against the wall watching for any movement from the end of the hall we came from. Turning towards me as she heard the click I made with my tongue I smoothly motioned that there were four guards going towards the target.
She nodded and I sent one in kind as we both knew what the other was thinking after being put together as a pair ever since recruitment, we moved down the corridor and with perfected synchronization dispatched the two at the back. We both grabbed their bodies and dispatched the front two. Unable to catch the front two bodies they fell and a thump resounded as they hit the ground.
Lilith and I slowly put down the bodies of the men we were holding before switching to the suppressed M4, I crouched and aimed at the door while Lilith aimed forward. I watched as three others of my unit crouched down and also at the door as well, I could also tell that the other two were waiting to support the front with Lilith.
We waited in our positions for two minutes for absolute positivity that we weren't heard, once there was certainty I gave the signal to continue moving in on the targets area. Lilith and myself joined up with the two at the end of the corridor to which I recognized them as Arthur and Chandler, sending a nod we moved down the corridor in a square formation.
Two minutes, forty-five seconds and six eliminations later we reached the room that was supposedly housing the target. All seven of us slowly moved in after I picked the lock, moving inside I quickly aimed my pistol and executed the guy directly in front of me, alerting what sounded to be three to four others. Easily taking out the one directed to the far left holding a assault rifle, I used the body in front of me as cover as I moved to the side allowing Lilith to shoot a guy fumbling with his gun in the head. The last guy quickly aimed at Lilith with quick reflexes, probably the only one with experience in the room. Arthur easily shot the gun out of his hand allowing me to move in and snake myself behind him and hold him.
Chandler moved in and stabbed a knife directly in the mans throat and we both waited five seconds after his body went limp before removing the knife and laying his body down. This all happened in twenty four seconds, I noted as we all aimed our assault rifles at the cowering man in a chair against the end wall.
"you ca- you can't kill me! If I die th-this place w-will go up in fla-flames!"
I let out an audible tsk before looking towards Arthur and nodding. Arthur pulled out the pistol on his left thigh and in one smooth motion pulled it out and shot the guy. The guy looked shocked before he slumped and fell on the ground. A tranq gun, of course, seeing as the Seline Unit needed to be prepared for situations like these.
"Chandler you carry him, your steps when carrying off that first take down were too loud"
"son of a- fine but that doesn't mean I'm gonna like it Sebastian."
I let out a snort of amusement before Chandler picks up the target and all six of us surround him and leave the building and walk to a set of bikes outside.
Placing the guy on a pillar a couple feet away from the bike I aim my pistol at his head and shoot him. As expected the building exploded in flames by the time we started the bikes and started speeding off. Catching up with the rest of my unit
"guys wanna watch this show on Netflix called The Order? heard its a pretty fun watch"
Six of them agree and we split off and head to my house after we told the rest of the unit night.

That's where everything goes blank and for some reason I'm now standing in an infinity room that's pure black. The fact that I'm weaponless and dressed in black sweats with no shirt is slightly worrying I guess.
"what the fu-"
"please refrain from such language while in my presence"
That makes me alert to the fact I'm not alone and I quickly stiffen in preparation for combat.
"where am I and who in Gods name are you?"
At the end of my sentence I receive an amused chuckle from the unseen person, before in front of me appears a brunette middle aged man. He has on black sweatpants along with a black shirt, his eyes are apparently pure white and he has a slight stubble along his jaw and around his mouth. It gives me a slight headache looking at him because it feels as if I'm looking at something that is stressing against my concept of reality at its own behest just to speak to me.
"well you're speaking to god actually, and the reason you feel such a way is because I'm conceptualizing a body that's trying to contain my power whilst remaining outside the laws of the world. I am literally taking your concept of reality and dunking it into a garbage can at Mach fifty."
And with that I throw away all thoughts of this being a serious matter as I unstiffen and look at him as if I've just been told blenders can be made human sized and used as a relaxing sauna when turned on.
"anyway, the reason you're here is because on the way to your house a drunk driver nailed you whilst he went through a red light. The reason your not in heaven is because I want you to work as my agent going universe to universe and... doing things in a sense. So what do ya say?"
Looking at the hand of God extend out towards me offering me a literal job, I give a mental screw it before shaking his hand and feeling something form deep inside me.
"so what comes with the job of being your...agent?"
"for one, choose four powers you've always wanted and two wishes for anything"
"four powers huh? Okay then. The unlimited blade works, Tracing, Structural Analysis, and complete control over Dark Matter. And for two wishes I guess, that instead of the system that Type-Moon uses for magic that its replaced with dark matter for whenever I use anything relating to magic, and then an extra two wishes; those wishes being the ability to shapeshift into anything I want and to have a dragon soul instead of a humans"
As soon as I finished God seemed to think something over for a moment before snapping his fingers and looking towards me with approval.
"Interesting, it's not overpowered, yet overpowered in terms of versatility and technicality, a rather nuanced and skill focused build my agent. This first jump will be to a base world to allow you to familiarize yourself with the powers. Bye now, have fun in DxD!"
And with that there was a lack of sound and it seemed as if I was falling before my entire body EXPLODED in the most pain I've ever felt in my life, the pain was unimaginable until everything went white then black and I ended up unconscious.
Again, thanks for deciding to give this read, I also appreciate that you managed to save any criticism you have for this chapter, I hope you find the next chapter more satisfactory.This was probably the last instance I ever purposely utilized a first person perspective, chapters from here on will be third person while focusing on Sebastian, I'm still trying to figure out my own style of writing it out so bear with me.The UBW is something that get puts in DxD a lot from what I can tell, but I want it to be someone who isn't Shirou or EMIYA that utilizes it, tries there own hand at it. I also really love the idea of Dark Matter.Anyway, see ya' at the next meeting, which might be Chapter Three.
Bye, bye!
