Rias: 1%? What do you mean by that
Kim: Let me explain... 2 years ago my soul was split into millions of pieces and were scattered through different worldlines
Rias: Worldlines?
Kim: Basically another word for universe, after that happened my friends try to put me back together, while I was in my coma
Rias: Wait the book explain that?
Han: Right, I'm the author. The names Han Sooyoung, the book was created so that dokja could dream on it, aka a constant cycle where the beginning led to the end & the end led to the beginning.
I was having a headache understanding this, now I still have a headache
Han: But that was the wrong book I sent to you, it was suppose to be the same book I sent to all the other worldlines
Rias: Then, why me? Why don't you find the other version of him
Han: Well you see the millions of other pieces were reincarnated to other worldlines as different people, not dokja.
Kim: Why did you think we brought you here Rias?
My eyes went wide the first time I heard that. I drop to my knees hearing this
Rias: N-no wonder I was having dreams about you
Han: Those weren't dreams but memories, you and Dokja share the same memories
Rias: W-what are you going to do to me?
Han: Simple we are going to make you read and let you create your own ending.
???: Then we kill you
Rias: What...
Kim hits the back of his head with a smile before looking at me
Kim: Don't mind Yoo Junghyeok, he's a dick to everyone
Kim lets out a hand for me to grab, I could feel the warmth in his hand as i hold it
Kim: But we are not going to do that
Rias: What...?
Kim: I have 99.9% of my soul, I will be fine but what I am offering you I am offering is a choice
Rias: A choice?
Kim: Join us on our adventures
Rias: If I refuse?
Kim: We will drop you back to your world and erase your memory of all of this and take the last piece of me
Rias: .....
Kim: So what do you choose
I would be lying if I said no, but after what has happened in my life. I would like a fresh start, a new me with nothing on my back. I don't care if it's dangerous I will join.
Rias: I accept
Kim: Are you sure? It will be dangerous
Rias: I don't care I will join
Satan I sound like Issei
Han: Junghyeok?
Yu: She is telling the truth
He closes a blue tab before turning around and leaving. Wait were they checking if I was lying!?
Kim: Great, now there a couple of rules. 1. You are not wearing that
Kim points to my attire as I blush in embarrassment.
Kim: 2. House rules apply when you are here
Rias: Okay
Kim: 3. We stay together as a family and don't leave eachother. If one of us gives a order you follow it
Rias: Got it
Kim: Final rule, don't be superior, we are all equal here. Understand
Rias: Understood
Kim: Good, Sooyoung-san will show you to your new room
Dokja leaves as Sooyoung grabs my hand as she takes me to my room.
Han: We were able to get your casual and sleepwear into your room. You will find your new uniform, you must wear it. We will be waiting roomy
Sooyoung leaves and I enter my new room. It was nice and the bed was very big. On it was some folded up clothes with a note that read uniform.
It was a black blazer, a red dress shirt and pants with a tie. I decided to put it on. It was my first time wearing pants for the rest of my life, I mostly wore skirts but this will be different. I put it on
It felt nice, I decided to do a variety of poses while wearing this suit. I was on the peace sign next to the eye before I heard a ahem. I turn around to see Dokja staring at me with a small smile
Kim: I guess you like the suit
I blush in embarrassment again while trying to hide it from him
Rias: I-it's nice
I feel his hand touch my shoulder, I turn around to look at him, he was four centimetres taller than me. I feel something sting in my heart when I look at him
Kim: Is something wrong?
Rias: U-uh I was just worried about my family
Dokja smiles at me
Kim: Don't worry, if you want to visit them we will put you back at the exact same time you left
I was happy when I heard that, we then heard a knock on the door and see Sooyoung-san
Han: We have another mission, oh by the way we brought you someone
In her hand was my familiar, she flies towards me and lands on my head. She looked happy, I then see Dokja touching her head
Han: Come on
We follow her to my first mission, we were outside the house. As we look down at the white wormhole. I question how we are going to get there
Rias: So how we are going to get there?
Kim: Simple transportation
A pure white train arrives Infront of us and I became even more confused
Rias: A train?
Kim: Yup
Rias: Where are the tracks
Han: Tracks? Where we're going, we don't need tracks
We enter into the train and sit on the seat except for Junghyeok who was leaning against the door.
I was sitting next to Dokja who was looking at his phone. I guess internet works here.
The train starts moving an I could see that we were in space, I could see many constellation, stars and planets when we pass them.
It was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. It felt like I was at peace with myself when I was in that moment
Rias: Dokja-kun, who is the protagonist?
Dokja leans his head towards my ear, I blush as I felt his cold breath touch my ear.
Kim: Yoo Jonghyuk is the protagonist, he was the main character of Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World
Rias: Oh...
Kim: But if you think about it, you are our new protagonist of this story
My face became red as my hair when he said that. It felt like I was in an anime with them. We then see a bright light beaming out as we arrive at an area full of mountains.
Kim: Brace for impact
I didn't understand what he meant until I saw the train falling down. It felt my life just flashed before my eyes. Before suddenly it landed on the ground before disappearing. My eyes were still closed
Kim: Rias are you okay?
I open my eyes to see that I was in Dokja's arms. I blush brightly before getting myself off his hands. Sooyoung and Dokja laugh a bit. While Junghyeok shakes his head
Kim: Don't worry it happens on your first time
Rias: R-right what are we looking for?
Yoo: A monster
Rias: Monster? What kind of monster
We then heard a scream coming across from us. I covered my ears and it made my ears bleed while the others stood there, tanking it. Before Dokja came and removed my hands from my ear
Kim: Covering your hands will make the scream more powerful. It doesn't hurt, it's your mind that makes you believe hit hurts
I was shocked when I heard this, I stood there and nothing happened, no bleeding, no pain, nothing...
Yoo: That's the monster we are fighting
Rias: Who is that?
Kim: That is Hinchel or otherwise known as the screaming witch. She is a grade 1 monster
Rias: Grade 1
Kim: Oh right the lower the grade the stronger the monster. It also starts at 9th grade. There is some more to it but thats the basics for you
Rias: Oh okay
Kim: Guys do you want to show her?
Yoo: Fine
Han: Sure, let the newbie see what we got
Sooyoung dashes forward towards the monster. Her speed was incredible, it was a faster than anything Yuuto could have done. Her hand emits purple flames and she blasts the monster embedding it into the mountain.
It releases it self from the mountain before Junghyeok begins slashing through its limbs in quick succession. Then multiple clones of Sooyoung appear surrounding the monster before snapping her that burn the monster as lets out a scream of agony.
I then felt a nudge on my shoulder and see Dokja staring at me with a small smile.
Kim: If you want, you can join in the battle
Rias: Aren't you going join?
Kim: I am more of a talker than a fighter
Rias: Oh I see
I dash forward before chucking a ball of POD towards the monster with full force. It creates a explosion before a silhouette is seen through the smoke. The blows a super sonic scream towards me but I felt arm being grabbed by Dokja who had a concerned look on his face.
Kim: Be careful this isn't chess where you would stop after doing one attack. You have to continue attacking the enemy even if they are already hit.
I understood what he meant, my fighting style in the past was to do one attack then let it be followed up by one of members of my peerage. But here I have to be quick in what I do for my attacks.
I begin charging up two POD in both of my hands and fire it towards the monster again. Before dashing infront of it and blasting it again. Sending it towards Yoo Junghyeok who slashes it in half and Sooyoung burns it with her flames.
The monster was in ashes before glitching out and disappearing. Suddenly a holographic tab appears infront of me

<SPONSOR SELECTION>
- SELECT A CONSTELLATION
- THE SELECTED CONSTELLATION WILL BE YOUR RELIABLE SPONSOR.
1. The Demonic Killer of God
2. The Maniac Death
3. The Devil's Shadow
4. The Forgotten Holy Reaper
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rias: Dokja-kun, What's this?
Dokja looks towards the panel and smiles
Kim: The ones who provide support to you are the constellation. The sponsor selection is a system in which the constellations who watch you, choose a human or in your case a devil as their incarnation and sponsor them
This was a lot to take in, powerful beings other than gods, watching us and want to support us
Rias: Are these their real names?
Yoo: No, the constellations never reveal their true names
Han: But using the hints in their nicknames, like Holy, Demonic and Shadow, we can deduce their identities
They look at the first option as sweat drops from my face
Han: The Demonic Killer of God, the irony in this is that the constellation isn't a demon, using the word killer in the title this could lead us to....
Han: Archangel Castiel, the incarnation of this sponsor will have additional boost in their magic level and power level, allowing them access to holy magic
Rias: Woah
Yoo: The Maniac Death, He's a powerful being that leads the destruction of humanity, from what I can recall from my past regressions, his name is....
Yoo: The destructive jester of death Kataot, he increases strength and agility, he also increases stamina.
Rias: Then I will choose him
Yoo: The benefits end there..
Rias: What do you mean?
Yoo: The more you use this constellation's the more you lose your senses. Eventually you will end up as a mindless killer until you die
Han: The Devil's Shadow, judging by the name this is ironically the human that Satan gave the apple to....
Han: Adam, increase agility and strength plus constitution. He is one of the strongest constellation in strength
The three I have heard sound amazing to use in battle, but I can only pick only one
Kim: Didn't expect her to show up that quickly
I look at Dokja would my mouth open as he looks at the last name
Kim: Holy ironically means not an angel but rather a demon, she was a demon that betrayed her kind. She is solitary and vengeful. She fights for a justice forgotten by her people, seeking to make the world remember balance.
She has the power of both holy and demonic magic. Her power has killed hundreds of incarnations with her swords and gauntlet and tens of thousands of monsters with a single blast
Her name...
Kim: Athena, the demon slayer
This was difficult, I didn't know what to pick, they are all good options and could be used in different scenarios but I have to pick only one
Rias: What should I pick...?
