Chapter 17: Finally!
(Chivalry of a Failed Knight)
_____
- Ethan Ambrosius -
I wiped the sweat off my forehead before continuing my workout, it's getting harder to progress. I actually had to make Gravity Bracelets of my own, since the one Merlin gifted doesn't help anymore.
While I was doing push ups I thought about the rather "painful journey" I took to finally get into this world.
After spending a whole month spamming random reincarnations through romance genres, occasional dramas and stupid amounts of comedies, I finally arrived at my intended destination.
Thankfully system has an option that lets me choose if I want to keep the bodies during reincarnations.
Although I kinda regret leaving Oregairu behind, I didn't have anything to do there other than watching Hachiman. He's like my spirit animal.
So after confirming that the resident trap of the light novel Saika is indeed a boy and not a girl in hiding as we hoped, we left that world.
Thinking about all this I can't help myself from remembering my arrival in this world as well. This place is certainly unique.

- Awakening -
I woke up with an incredible chest pain, it was like I got stabbed through my heart but it was more painful than that, Merlin did that once.
No this felt like my soul is pushing something out through my body and damn does that hurt like a bitch.
When pain lessened to a point where I can understand what's going on around me I found out that I am in a hospital room, looking over I discovered that I have roommates and all of them are comatose like this body was before I took it.
There's not even a single memory from this body which is rather scary to think about. I don't even know where I am yet.
Sighing I looked down and got greeted by the disturbing image of a surprisingly familiar sword handle stuck in my chest, clearly trying to get out but unable to do on its own.
I decided that pulling something that's going through you would be a stupid move as I am not beyond bleeding to death yet.
So after I calmed enough I looked at my status and oh boy, am I happy or am I happy?

_____
I am not sure what's up with my device but at least I am in the correct world and due to my previous stats passing over I am quite a powerhouse already.
My overall power is B rank I honestly don't believe that I went through vigorous training back in Camelot, so my current rank isn't unbelievable.
I just bathed in Dragon blood and that's it, I barely had any power compared to big shots of Fate Universe.
Now knowing that the familiar sword stuck inside my chest is my Device I pulled it out. Yep I got Dante's weapon!
If I remember correctly devices supposed to reflect our inner selves, seeing that I got a devil arm as a device I can't help but remember the words of this world's protagonist.
"In order for a mediocre man to defeat a genius he has to become a demon." It's not like I am mediocre but it's a cool line to keep in mind.
I have my own doubts about devices since it's tied to the soul of a person I think these aspect people can control are their origins but I need to do some tests to prove that.
Also it's obvious that I don't have the blood or Sparda since my hair is still black, that's a pretty defining feature of Sparda's lineage, so I must have some random demon's blood which I think I can refine.
After all Rebellion can "unite" things I just need to find something to feed my demon blood but for now I should try to remember Dante's moves since I already got his sword.
Well, it's not like I am creative when it comes to making styles or spells so why not copy other's weapons/technique's as well.
While coming up with a plan I dismissed Rebellion and it went back to my soul.
I wonder if Rebellion's Unification can merge my different bodies? I should learn Blade Steal from Ikki too that would help me tremendously.
Although if I remember he developed it after watching too many people fighting and fighting Dojo after Dojo. I guess I am going Dojo Crushing as well. For now let's call a nurse.
_____
Nurse was pleasantly surprised that I was being cooperative, after all one wouldn't expect a child to be calm when they awaken from a coma also she told me about this body's history while she took my blood pressure and looked at my temperature.
Well, some amount of hypnosis might have been involved to get her singing information but we don't focus on tiny details.
It seems like I was son of two Japanese Blazers who was on assignment in some other country, they decided to come back to Japan because their son aka me went into coma when I awakened my blazer ability and pulled out my device for the first time two years ago.
Unfortunately the plane we boarded crashed while coming to Japan due to a terrorist attack and they passed away while I was found with some terrible injuries surprisingly didn't leave any scars.
Afterwards I was nursed back to health in this hospital and they were using a treatment to wake me up from my coma.
I can guess that they didn't pull my plug since I apparently have A rank magic power, which is rare in the world, there's like 2-3 of them in Japan. They couldn't really test rest of my stats since I was in coma but just having this much magic capacity is enough to make me valuable.
I couldn't get anymore info out of the nurse since doctor came to do his own check up. So I made the nurse forget about the fact that she sang like a bird and hypnotized the doctor to start singing to fill in the blanks I have about this world.
It seems there's three major powers in the world first one being Union, they consist of powerful nations like USA, Russia, etc.
Opposed to them is the Magic-Knight League, consisting from small nations coming together to defend themselves from Union. Nations like Japan and Vermilion Empire are in this organization.
Than there's Rebellion, a terrorist organization and the sole reason why there's yet to be a third world war. This organization formed by blazers that think they're superior and they should rule over normal humans.
This organization also has normal humans in it that think they should be ruled by "blessed" people of this world.
While this information was good to know I don't think I will stay here long enough to see the eventual war between this three organizations.
I will probably be leaving in 7-8 years, Morgan talked about studying modern medicine so she would have enough time for that as well while I trained.
