"What the hell! What is this place? Is this hell or what?"
The words echoed in a void that seemed to have no beginning and no end. I stood there, or at least I felt like I was standing, surrounded by a suffocating nothingness. There was no light, no dust, not even the sound of my own breathing. Only the darkness and the lingering memory of the screeching tires.
"Now I remember... I'm dead. All because of those stupid drinking habits." I cursed under my breath. That damn taxi driver had plowed right into me, and now here I was. "So, this is it, Barry. You lived like a bully, spent your nights drinking and dreaming of power you didn't have the balls to take, and now you're in the dark hell you deserve."
I wasn't a saint. I was 23, a heavy drinker, and I spent my time bullying the local school kids. I had never crossed the line into being a criminal—never actually laid a hand on the girls I fantasized about—but in the dark corners of my mind, I was always thinking about it. Dominating them. Bending them to my will. But I was a coward in life, afraid of the consequences.
"This is not hell, boy. This is my home, my own dimension, and I brought you here so I can have a nice chat with you."
The voice boomed from everywhere at once. I froze, a cold sweat breaking out over my body. The sheer weight of that voice told me one thing: don't mess with this being.
"What... what do you want to talk about?" I stammered, shaking in my boots.
"Well, first, I am the Watcher. I am bored, Barry. I've watched your world for too long, and it's become stale. Since you're already dead, how about I give you a second chance? A second life in another universe."
My fear was instantly replaced by a surge of adrenaline. "A second chance? Reincarnation? Like in those stories? Can I keep my memories, or am I going to be some blank-slate brat?"
"Indeed," the Watcher replied. "You will retain your memories and your personality. And to make things interesting, I'm giving you a System to help you grow. Once you arrive, you will have two wishes. But remember: the power of those wishes is bound to your own strength. As you grow, they grow."
"So I can ask for anything? Any power?"
"Yes. But choose wisely. If you die this time, you die forever. You must become a powerhouse."
My mind raced. I thought of every fanfic I'd ever read, every dark fantasy I'd ever had. "Okay. I'm ready. Which universe am I going to?"
"Let me see in your mind..." There was a long silence, a sensation of fingers brushing against my brain. Then, the Watcher spoke again. "Interesting. Very interesting. This will be fun. I'm sending you to a world that fits your nature perfectly. I'm dropping you in one month before the main storyline begins."
"Wait! Which one?"
"You'll see when you get there. And one more thing... once you complete enough tasks, you will unlock an incredible ability. It will take time, but it will be worth it."
Before I could ask what that meant, the darkness shattered.
...
I woke up with a gasp, the smell of old paper and hormone-charged air filling my lungs. I sat up, my heart racing. "I'm alive... I actually made it."
I looked around. I was in a typical teenager's room. A desk with a computer, a window letting in the morning light, and stacks upon stacks of porn magazines littered everywhere. I grinned. This felt familiar.
"Okay, System. Are you there? How do I check where the hell I am?"
[How can I help you, Sir?] A blue screen flickered in my vision.
"Tell me everything. Which universe is this? And who am I supposed to be?"
[You are in the universe of High School DxD. You have been reincarnated as Issei Hyoudou, the host of the Boosted Gear and the future Red Dragon Emperor, though your power is currently dormant.]
I laughed out loud. "DxD! The land of devils, angels, and massive tits! This is perfect. I can make a harem that would make a king jealous and bend every one of those bitches to my will. But first, show me my status."

"Okay, I have the Gear and the basic Gamer skills. Now for the wishes. System, I'm ready to make my two wishes."
[Requesting first wish...]
"My first wish... I want the ability to create a Lust Wave. A supernatural aura I can project that turns any female it touches into a horny, desperate mess."
[Wish granted. Requesting second wish...]
"My second wish... I want a Power Absorption ability. Whenever I have sex with a girl and fill her with my seed, I want to copy her abilities and gain a permanent boost to my stats based on her power level."
[Wish granted. Both wishes have been integrated into your System.]
I checked the clock: 7:30 AM. Perfect timing.
"Issei! Breakfast is ready! Get up and get ready for school!"
The voice came from downstairs. Miki Hyoudou. Issei's mother. Or, as I thought of her now, my first potential subject. I headed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and dressed in a black jacket and red shirt. When I went downstairs, I saw her.
Miki was wearing a tight red t-shirt that showed off a pair of breasts that were much more impressive than the anime had ever portrayed. She had deep brown eyes and soft brown hair, and the way her jeans hugged her curves made my dick twitch.
"Good morning, Mom," I said, my voice dripping with a confidence the old Issei never had.
"Good morning, sweetie," she replied with a warm smile.
I sat down and started eating, but my mind was elsewhere. Let's see what this Lust Wave can do.
I looked at her and activated the ability. At first, nothing happened. Then, a light pink flush began to creep up her neck. I smiled. "Is something wrong, Mom?"
"No... nothing," she whispered, her hand trembling as she held her chopsticks.
[Lust Wave is currently at 30% intensity. You can increase it by thought.]
I dialed it up to 50%. Suddenly, Miki shivered in her seat. Her face turned a deep red, and she began to breathe heavily. I pushed it to 65%, and a small, involuntary moan escaped her lips.
"What happened, Mom? You look like you have a fever," I said, standing up and walking over to her. I placed my hand on her forehead, and at the same time, I cranked the Lust Wave to 100%.
She gasped, her body arching as the supernatural heat flooded her system. She wrapped her arms around my waist, melting into me, her breath hot against my shirt. I felt her getting soaked against my leg. After a few moments, I deactivated the wave.
She snapped back to her senses, her eyes wide with shock and shame. "N-nothing... I... I just have a little fever. I need to rest, sweetie."
She scrambled out of her chair and ran toward her room. I looked down at the chair she had been sitting on. It was visibly wet.
"I don't care if she's 'Mom,'" I muttered, a dark grin on my face. "She's just the first bitch on my list."
