Kuoh
2: 44 PM.
Train Station.
Change of POV: Shirou.
As I'm standing, waiting for a train that will appear at any moment. I'm also going over the past events.
This all.
Quickly accelerated. Just a day ago, I was in the USA. At my apartment, enjoying peace and quiet.
The next moment I was reincarnated into a world I only knew as a faction, an entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.
In Japan, I have memories of learning Japanese and writing it. Everything feels natural to me.
Now, I'm waiting for the train to travel to another city so I can safely unlock my powers and join the supernatural.
And speaking of the Devil, and he shall appear.
!Zooos! A gust of wind passed by me, raising my hair in action.
It's none other than the train I have been waiting for.
A train stopped, before automatically opening its door for me to enter.
"This would be my first time seeing one. I heard that taking a ride on the Bullet Train is a must-do experience when visiting Japan." I thought to myself as I walked into the so-called Bullet Train and took an open seat near the window on the right side.
As I sat there, a busty woman with black hair walked up to me in a conductor's uniform. She wore a pleasing smile on her face
Just before she spoke I voiced it first.
At my words, the woman pulled out several bundles of tickets before searching for Kyoto specifically, after finding the right bundle she returned the other bundles to her pockets, after she did so she ripped one ticket out before speaking.
"That would be 3.5k Yen, sir". While she said that,I saw her looking me up and down can't blame her
The outfit I was wearing was a masterpiece, every detail screaming elegance, and richness. my white trench coat, tailored to perfection, flowed around me like a second skin. It showed my six-pack. The fabric shimmered faintly in the light, catching the eyes of anyone who happened to glance his way.
I couldn't help but raising my eyebrow at her appearance . Seriously, every woman, even side characters must be beautiful or what? What is with this damn world.
As I was thinking that I had used a debit card to pay the much-needed amount of money while she gave me the ticket.
"Thank you, sir, hope you have great travelling." She said so before turning on her heel and walking out. I couldn't help but look at her 'behind' as she was walking.
Why don't i feel anything?
Not even a slight blush or attraction to her.
Nothing.
'I'm still a hormonal teenager.' I thought. ' I don't feel any type of attraction towards anyone... yet.' I couldn't help thinking about it.
I always wanted a family, to be a father.
But for some reason, I got a bad gut feeling. Perhaps I will regret this...
While I was checking to see if I had my stuff, my keys, I was always paranoid about it dropping or getting pickpocketed when I got to my ticket I noticed a small paper with a phone number.
I chuckle,' Yup still got it '
I looked if anyone was looking at me but when I saw no one I started to talk to my system.
'Hey system can you help me learn how to suppress my presence and holy aura 'I said
[I can host but you need to do it in small bits if do too much you can cause an explosion that would look like a terrorist attack happened in Kyoto Station.]
'Well that's really terrifying and a lot of pressure, one mistake and I kill a bunch of people'.
'I guess that my life now in this weird world I wonder if some terrorist attack were some supernatural being having a bad day like a fallen angel exploding a Starbucks over getting the order wrong'i thought to myself
1 hour and 10 minutes later.
Train Station-Kyoto Station.
Change of POV: Shirou.
As I left train, first time in not only this life but even former life I am in Kyoto.
'And honestly, I am not disappointed at all.' I thought as I looked around a bit. There are definitely more people on the streets than in Kuoh, just as expected.
'But thankfully I learned how to suppress my presence on the train,' I thought as I began walking around, it took me two hours to manage it and still, it's one of the easiest to learn but the only reason it took me so little time is that I'm still mid-Class level so I don't have much to hide anyway...' I thought as I walked around, looking around, searching for someplace to eat.
'But that's beside the point. I'm rather hungry, and I still need sustenance.' As I walked, I stumbled into a small restaurant with traditional Japanese food, it's a small restaurant called Japa's Ramen, and from its name, it is obvious what they take pride in.
But nevertheless, a good cup of ramen will be good enough.
While I do have memories of Auto-Pilot eating Japanese food It was not exactly me who ate it so not really my 'taste buds'.
So without any more thinking, I walked into Japa's Ramen and there weren't that many customers. Or more specifically there was only one customer, an old middle-aged guy who was sitting alone at the corner of the restaurant eating Sushi,
So without further ado, I walked up to the cashier. Who is a young man who smiled, the usual business smile.
"What would you like to order, Sir?" He asked before taking out a small notebook from his pocket along with pencil
"One regular ramen, please," I ordered before turning around to walk away and took a random table nearest to a window.
Well, now there is the matter of where should I awaken my power. I don't have a base, nor it is smart to awaken it inside the city, the only option seems to be outside the city, or maybe inside a forest or something similar. I remember a scene in the forest where Yasaka transforms into her fox form and fights against Ria's peerage when she was controlled, Is that forest or was it a park? I can't remember. ' I thought as I was watching people pass by. Then I decided, I'm gonna explore the city a bit till I find an appropriate place to use.
''All that I know is that my awakening will release my presence. So awakening it in the middle of the city might be dangerous, I do not know if it will release some type of explosion or something similar to Broly transforms in DBZ. My power seems to be related to angels one of the most powerful races in this world and probably fight against high-class gods
I thought so before looking at my hand thinking about what going to happen
'hey system is unsealing myself going to hurt' I thought
[yes host, your human soul would be destroyed and rebuilt from the ash into a more robust, powerful, and a near indestructible soul.]
I stare at the system window,' Yeah that makes sense I would be surprised if I got satan-class power for free without any pain or near death'
'This is the last chance to back out. Remain part of 'non-supernatural' for an unknown amount of time or take a full chance for my future right here in this city.' I said to myself like a proclamation before clutching my hand into a fist, I decided. I will not be afraid of my decision, if my powers do kill someone, I will take responsibility...though I hope i don't
But I was broken out of my rapidly 'special' thoughts by the cashier who passed me the bowl of ramen. I thanked him, and as he left I looked at the bowl of ramen before thus taking the chopsticks he gave before separating them.
'I'll enjoy it, today is my day.'
2 hours later.
Change of POV: 3rd POV
Shirou explored and enjoyed Kyoto at first. He is not in great danger or anything yet to rush his awakening. Nevertheless, he came across several places that might be worthy to remember in the future if he visits it.
Nevertheless, time for fun has ended and he found a place that he thought of as most ideal to undergo his awakening.
Kyoto Forest or rather Arashiyama Bamboo forest.
At first, he walked around the forest in circles several times. Just re-checking the surroundings. And checking for possible hideouts or similar structures.
His checking took about 1 hour more, more than he expected and it's 7 PM already.
But at the end, he decided to underwent the awakening near small lake, a beautiful and crystal lake surrounded by bamboos, water is crystal clear, just barely enough to see your face in the water.
But in the end, he decided to undergo the awakening near a small lake, a beautiful crystal lake surrounded by bamboo, water is crystal clear, just barely enough to see your face in the water.
just in case precaution if his appearance does change, but he hopes it will not.
After several minutes of deep silence for his decision. He voiced it in his mind.
'System, proceed with the unsealing of my powers.' He voiced it out in his mind, clearly
At his order, System responded by materializing its notorious window in front of his vision, again only one who is able to see it is he himself and no one else.
[User, this is the last chance to back out. You can return to normal life in Kuoh and continue as Auto-Pilot did till your inevitable meeting with the supernatural or click YES now and accept your new destiny.] Was written on the said window before another one appeared, this one was way smaller and only had two words written. [Yes/No]
Shirou was certain of his choice. without further ado, He Clicked [Yes] and prepared for the pain of his life
In that instant, several un-mistakable interventions happened.
~Boom! An explosion of Holy-Light appeared beneath Shirou. But that same amount of Holy-Light magic continued to increase in power at a rapid rate in a short amount of time, and then I felt so much pain in my soul, i think I just got the mother of first-degree burn
The process was neither gentle nor kind. My soul was torn asunder, piece by fragile piece, as if the universe sought to dismantle every illusion, every flaw. Pain surged like a storm, relentless and unforgiving, stripping away all that I once clung to. In the void left behind, there was silence—a haunting emptiness that seemed to stretch into eternity.
And rose something new. The fragments of my being, though shattered, began to reform—not as they were, but as they could be. Fire coursed through the gaps, not to consume but to forge. Every crack became a seam of molten gold, every wound a testament to resilience.
What emerged was no longer fragile, no longer bound by the limits of the past. My soul stood radiant, unyielding—a masterpiece of scars and strength, tempered by pain but no longer defined by it. Stronger, sharper, and infinitely more powerful, I became the architect of my own rebirth.
A white aura, similar to DBZ power-ups appeared around Shirou. Aura was pure, similar to normal white aura from Saiyans or rather the same one from Earthlings. The next step was, that the aura intensified so much that nothing could be seen in it.
The so-called aura stopped, before it mercifully latched onto Shirou, engulfing his entire body, not flying around him anymore.
Gradually, the body that supposed magic was enveloping was changing. Or rather, the magic is changing it to better accommodate it for its power.
~Crack
~Crack
The so-called light began peeling off, cracking off from Shirou's body. Each peeled-off part turned into small particles of light before disappearing into Shirou's body
And as the entire light that enveloped once Shirou disappeared, it revealed a breath-stopping sight.
At the place where once Shirou Akari stood, another person revealed herself.
Instead of young man with black hair and black sharp eyes that had seen more than they should have in his place is a mature beautiful woman.
Not just beautiful woman, no she is Goddess. Simple fact that she is reeking of divinity would be enough of a proof for that.
And a powerful one at that too, considering the amount of magical energy she revealed.
Her figure is clad in sleek, dark armor that hugs her form, accentuated by intricate crimson and black patterns that pulse faintly, as if alive. The armor seamlessly blends futuristic design with medieval aesthetics, with sharp edges and flowing fabrics that ripple like shadows in the wind.
Her weapon, a glowing katana infused with dark energy, appears almost alive, its blade exuding a faint, ominous aura that hums with restrained power. The hilt is intricately carved, adorned with sigils that hint at forbidden knowledge and mastery of the blade.
Her long hair flows like silk, dyed in shades of midnight black with streaks of glowing crimson or silver, depending on the light.
Her face is also beautiful, and could very well surpass beauties such as Aphrodite herself. Her golden eyes appear to have a circle inside their iris and inside pupils they appear to have something akin to a 'cross'.
Besides her face and hair, another notable feature would be her body itself, standing at 216.4cm max,
underneath the armor, The outfit exudes elegance and lethal precision, designed for a seasoned warrior who balances grace and ferocity. A tailored bodysuit serves as the base, crafted from sleek, high-quality leather dyed in deep midnight black with white accents that catch the light. The material clings closely to her form, providing both flexibility and a commanding silhouette.
A long, flowing coat drapes over her shoulders, split at the back for freedom of movement. The coat is lined with dark crimson satin, creating a striking contrast as it flares dramatically during combat. The high collar and asymmetrical cut add a sense of authority, while white embroidery along the edges depicts intricate patterns of roses entwined with thorns, symbolizing beauty and danger.
Her boots are knee-high, with low heels that click sharply on the ground, a sound that. The boots are adorned with subtle engravings and white buckles, perfectly blending style and utility.
(Appearance of dungeon fighter online spectre)
And the expression the said young woman is wearing could be described with only one word.
Horrified.
Change of POV: Shirou.
After my awakening, which lasted several seconds at max, the first thing that I noticed was actually my outfit.
When I turned my head down below me to look at myself, I noticed my chest.
Where once should be my perfectly manly chest are now well 'endowed' chest. with a 6 pack lining her stomach
This caused several things to fry off in my brain.
"Breath~" I murmured to myself while also mentally asking System to show me my status. 'System, give me that damn status this instant!'
And as my order was received, I glanced at it. And my horror is confirmed
[Status:]
[Divine Name: Celestia]
[Mortal Name: Shirou Akari]
[Race: Goddess]
[Gender: Female]
[Age: 17 {Soul Age: 34} ]
[Titles: Queen of Heaven, Second God of the Bible (?), Mother of Angels, Goddess of Creation, Goddess of Holy Light.]
[Level: supreme god.{Expand} ]
[Abilities: [Creation of life], [Control of Space & Time],[Control and Manipulation of Light and Holy Magic], [Power of Holy Sealing] {Expand for explanations, Super Intellect, Magic Neutralization, Detection of weakness, Charm and leadership, Grace,Holy Voice:} {Click to Expand} ]
One small but really significant change has been shown on Status, the [Divine Name: Celestia] has not been there before.
As I gazed at my Status.
Then I walked up to the lake for the exact purpose I feared would happen. And as I glanced at my appearance crystalized on the lake my unanswered question on why my new 'clothes' was familiar was answered.
I did the only logical thing someone in my situation would do.
I screamed!
Change of POV: Narrator
Let's revert seconds into the past, as this transformation lasted at a maximum 5 seconds. With 'Shirou' still leaking his power on the Earth.
In another location.
Specifically another dimension, In the Heaven, or Seventh Heaven.
Seventh Heaven also known as Seventh Level is the place of God, a place of His residence. From his 'residence', God's System, Sacred Gear System, and of course, His Golden Throne.
Seventh Heaven is only able to be accessed by Seraphs and God only without His permission. And the said Heaven possesses a Teleportation System that teleports ANY trespassers away from it.
A perfect place.
And currently, only one person is inside the so called residence.
The Archangel Michael is inside the residence of His late Father.
He has been trying to breach God's System for centuries, and till now he has barely made even a sight of progress. God's System is 'barely' usable at the current state and he has been barely making any use of it, but once he does so it would be a gigantic help for the current situation of Heaven.
As he sighed at his yet another failed attempt at uncovering secrets of God's System, he couldn't help but glance at the Golden Throne.
This is where his Father would be seating now, bathing Heaven with His presence. Talking with His children.
Michael misses his presence. Every Angel does, even most of the Fallen Angels..
They all miss him. So many Angels changed after His death.
So many fell.
So many changed, some even secluded themselves away into their chambers..
If He is right now here..
Just.
What if?
As Michael is about to leave God's System and head out of the Seventh Heaven, something remarkable happens, that which has not happened since His death.
He felt it
He felt His presence!
Michael abruptly turned around in his shock to look at Golden Throne. And to his shock, it truly is truth!
Golden Throne, which once shined with Holy Light, as personification of His force and life has diminished into simple gold after His end.
But now, in front of him, His throne if flashing with Light!
There is only one explanation for this.
But just as he was about to go to Sixth Heaven, so he could relay this inevitable news to his dear brothers and sisters, he noticed something else.
God's System, which by looks is a simple table made out of gold, but possesses technology beyond that of the current modern world shined too, like the Golden Throne did.
And materialized a transparent figure of a being he does not recognize.
Figure of a beautiful white haired woman, with eyes he recognizes. Only one person had those eyes.
He burned that picture in his memories. He will need it!
And then next two separate and individual incidents happened.
One, Seventh Heaven began to shake, soon followed by other six counterparts.
Second, a map appeared above the woman's head.
Map of Japan, showing one red dot,
Dot is on Kyoto.

This is by far the largest Chapter I wrote in this fanfic. I will try to average chapters to 2k words if I can, but 1k words is minimum.
I hope you liked this chapter I really tied even when I had no idea where to begin
