"Wha—what the hell just happened?!"
Those were Issei Hyoudou's first words as he awoke to a vibrant, grassy field under an unnaturally bright sky. A soft breeze tickled his face, and in the distance, lush mountains stretched endlessly. It was... peaceful. Too peaceful.
"Wait a minute. Wasn't I just reading something? Yeah! A manga fell off a shelf and hit me! That's how I died?!" Issei yelled, his fists trembling. This has to be a sick joke.
He quickly stood up, expecting a headache, but instead felt... fantastic. Energetic. Even better than when he'd mastered his balance breaker in the Underworld. Looking at his hands, he noticed something shiny—his left wrist bore an intricate red gauntlet.
BOOST!
The familiar voice echoed as the gem on his hand shone.
"Ddraig?! Wait—you're still with me?"
Indeed, partner, the dragon's voice boomed. It appears we have been transported to a new world. Your life energy has been enhanced tenfold—no, scratch that—a hundredfold. You're absurdly powerful now. Again.
Issei blinked. "Wait, hold on... How am I already OP in a world I just arrived in?"
Because... Ddraig paused. Apparently, the gods gave you 'one wish' upon reincarnation while you were unconscious. You wished for something stupid again, didn't you?
Issei scratched his head nervously. "Uhh... I might've said something like 'make me the ultimate dragon-harem overlord.'"
You fool...
