In a battlefield, blood was flowing everywhere, blood of golden purity and blood of tainted darkness mingling together.
"ARGH!!!! Why, Arthur!!! Why!" groaned a dying angel, his hand clutching his chest where a black lance had pierced him, impaling him to the ground.
"Such is life, my dear friend," Arthur replied with a dark aura surrounding him.

"So, what did you think of my past life?"
Arthur asked in front of his screen, wearing an expectant expression, waiting for a positive response from his viewers.

========================
Hello everyone, my name is Arthur. An individual of Asian origin, and I'm stepping into the realm of streaming this years.
My ultimate aim is to captivate my audience with genuine tales and assist them in their awakening, yet it appears that my stories are met with skepticism.
It's been more than 1 million years since I came to Earth.
With each passing centuries, I find myself being reborn as a new mortal...
Indeed, the recollection of my past has somewhat faded, but what remains resolute is my sense of duty.
My purpose is clear [ to aid humanity in their profound awakening ]. The question of why I was chosen for this task, however, still eludes me...
This century was the one in which humans would collide with the other world...
"Time to sleep, I have school tomorrow," Arthur said as he turned off his stream, having no viewers.
[The following morning]
' Chirp , Chirp '
Arthur awoke, got dressed, and enjoyed his breakfast – following the usual morning routine of a young man.
Residing in Japan, Arthur was an orphan who found shelter in an affluent Japanese family owing to his mother's inability to conceive.
However, Arthur's father had a child with his mistress, elevating her to the status of his official wife, and subsequently relocating Arthur and his mother to the countryside.
"Mom, I'm off to school!" Arthur announced with a brisk tone.
"Well, have a good day, kiddo. And remember, I'm not ready to be a grandmother just yet" she replied, a playful lilt in her voice.
"Mom, I'm 17 years old" Arthur retorted, a hint of exasperation mixed with amusement.
As he headed out the door, Arthur couldn't shake off the feeling that his mother's protective nature would forever be a constant in his life.
Walking down the familiar path to school, he could see fellow young students his age making their way to the school as well.
Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder, and a voice spoke up, "How are you doing, Fallen Angel?"
"I'm good, Hyoudou Issei. What about YOU?!" Arthur replied, escaping Issei's grip and striking a JOJO POSE...
"I'm good too," Issei replied while striking another Jojo pose, causing the people around to start whispering, "Look, it's the chuunibyou duo ! " , "Why are they doing that so early in the morning?"
POV Arthur
Hyoudou Issei, a protagonist from a light novel that I really liked, which concluded with DXD.
However, there are no demons in this world yet, so he was simply my best friend in this world. He was not the Oppai Dragon, just Issei. But I have to admit, he's, well, how do I put it... quite unattractive???
" Yes, unattractive " Arthur muttered, nodding his head in agreement with himself.
"Psst, Arthur, did you do your homework yesterday?" Issei whispered.
"Of course I did" I said, taking out my assignments. "Take it, but remember to give it back to me later, like usual." i added.
"Thanks, bro, you're my savior!" he exclaimed, sprinting towards the school at a speed worthy of Usain Bolt.
I chuckle and say with a cheerful smile, "Always the same with him."
Arriving at the school, it was a typical Japanese high school. Oh, and I should mention that it used to be an all-girls school; it was recently reopened for boys.
I can truly say I was in the top 3 most charming boys in this school.
Arthur possessed long, sleek black hair that cascaded down his back, catching the light in its ebony strands.
His eyes, as dark and mysterious as the depths of the night, held a certain enigma that seemed to draw people in.
His skin, delicate and pale as porcelain, exuded an otherworldly quality, almost akin to that of a vampire.
His frame was lean and graceful, the definition of his muscles evident beneath the smooth surface of his skin, his abs rippling with an underlying strength.
Each movement he made was marked by a certain elegance, as if he held a secret power waiting to be unveiled.
Despite being called "the chuunibyou duo," I had a nickname for myself that I found quite amusing: "chuunibyou prince." It never failed to bring a smile to my face.
As I swung the door open with a resounding *clack*, the classroom was unusually noisy, all abuzz with a particular topic – the appearance of bizarre creatures all over the world.
The general news was filled with reports like:
"Strange Creatures Spotted Roaming City Streets!"
"Mysterious Beasts Defy Explanation in Global Phenomenon!"
"Unidentified Lifeforms Spark Controversy and Curiosity!"
I couldn't help but be intrigued as I settled into my seat.
The teacher was struggling to regain control of the class amidst the excited chatter.
Issei leaned over to me, his eyes wide with excitement. "Man, this is like something out of an anime!"
I chuckled and nodded in agreement. (It will soon be time to play my role) I thought.
As the teacher tried to regain control of the class, my mind was already racing.
The appearance of these mysterious creatures couldn't be a mere coincidence.
It felt like the universe was aligning with my purpose, and I couldn't help but wonder if these creatures were somehow connected to the awakening I had been tasked to assist with.
"Maybe yes or maybe not, but man I'm too lazy right now," I said out loud during class.
The teacher shot me a withering look. "Dear Arthur, what are you doing? Did you even listen to my lesson?"
"Of course, Miss May, I did, hahahaha .... " I laughed awkwardly.
The result? I ended up getting punished... BRUH 😭
"No problem, buddy. I will help you," Issei said with a reassuring tone.
As the school day drew to a close, the tension seemed to dissipate, and a sense of camaraderie filled the air.
Issei and I made our way to the classroom, where we found Miss May waiting. Her stern expression softened slightly when she saw us.
"Arthur, Issei " she began, "since you seemed to have so much energy earlier, I have a special task for you today."
I exchanged a glance with Issei, wondering what she had in mind.
"You'll be in charge of cleaning the classroom today," she announced.
I blinked in surprise. Cleaning duty wasn't exactly what I had expected. Issei, on the other hand, seemed to take it in stride.
"Sure thing, Miss May! We've got this," he said cheerfully.
Miss May handed us cleaning supplies and a bucket. "I expect the classroom to be spotless by the time you're done. And don't forget, attention to detail is important!"
With a nod, Issei and I got to work. As we cleaned, we chatted and joked, turning the task into a surprisingly enjoyable bonding experience.
The afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the windows as we swept, wiped, and organized.
Eventually, we stepped back to admire our handiwork. The classroom looked pristine, and a sense of accomplishment washed over us.
"See, Arthur? Cleaning isn't so bad" Issei said, a triumphant grin on his face.
I chuckled, realizing that Issei's positive attitude had made the task much more manageable. Miss May entered the classroom, her eyes softening as she took in the tidy room.
"Good job, you two. It looks like you worked well together" she praised.
