Lucky Reincarnation (DxD)

Ch 3 - Prison Days

It was indeed a long prison sentence. The Gacha power he had was just as rigid as it was in real life. Often getting Trash and F grade items. His plot of land having nothing to do on it besides train.

Haru was terribly bored. He was doing his usual work out he did on his old world. 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and he made laps around the dirt land. Though he struggled to even do this with his weak body. Though he no longer starved or had a sickly appearance. Receiving an F grade item "Bag of 18 Senzu Beans." When Haru first received it he was completely shocked. Senzu Beans as an F grade must have meant that S grade was extremely powerful. Haru was also shocked as he had been getting Trash grade items often or useless F grades. Used tissues, sticks, ripped clothes with stains on, training equipment he couldn't use with his amount of strength. But he made use of most of it. While he threw away the used tissues he made use of the sticks to make things. Small shacks, weapons. He didn't need any of them but it was something to stave off the boredom.

Though he figured something out. A hypothesis. Usually nothing can survive in the Dimensional Gap unless it had magic protecting it. So he was confused on why everything he got especially the trash grade didn't get disintegrated into atoms when is spawned. The hypothesis was that even trash grade items had some sort of magic or energy that allowed them to survive and stay together.

That then moved him on to believe something else. He too had magic inside of him like Ophis and Great Red. That was the only reason why he could survive. So his days of doing random things began. Shouting words with meaning. With will. Shouting loud and proud as he tried to summon any powers whatsoever.

"FIREBALL!"

"KAAAAAMEEEEEE HAAAAAAMEEEEEE HHHAAAAAAAA"

"SUPERNOVA!"

But when days and weeks and months of shouting and screaming words seemed to fail, Haru moved on to another route. Haru got a stick. Using it as a wand first. And after weeks of that Haru used the stick to draw "magic circles" in the dirt. But that didn't work either. No matter how much knowledge Haru remembered from anime, physics, chemistry or biology. He couldn't seem to use magic he knew he had.

But even if Haru was getting bored and he didn't have magic, that didn't mean his life didn't progress. Different items kept on coming out day after day. Sometimes he had repeats like the Senzu beans. Other times he had had useless rusted swords that he swung thousands of times. On a good day he would get some useful gym equipment. Though being F grade or trash it would break. Haru found it easier just to make his own makeshift ones. Though a lot of his gym equipment was useless. 10 ton weights that Goku used were completely useless. Unable to even move them from the position they fell.

Besides his Senzu Beans he had another favourite F grade. He could say he was actually living in a house. A small one pink one that said KAME HOUSE on the side. Haru was ecstatic when he first got it. He was getting a lot from dragon ball so he was very excited. He didn't know how this was an F grade item. But when entered it was completely empty. Not even a bed on the floor. Electricity, cooking equipment. Nothing. But sleeping on a wooden floor beat sleeping on the dirt so Haru enjoyed it.

Haru was lying on the floor of his house. Even though there no electricity he didn't need it for lighting. With the splurge of colours in the Dimensional Gap there was all natural lighting. Better than any sun.

Haru: I think that's been 24 hours.

After a routine of doing anything within 24 hours Haru began to form an internal clock. Able to know when time passed in a timeless dimension. Haru got up. His appearance wasn't sickly anymore but he wasn't good looking. His appearance was still scared on his mediocre physique. His boney appearance disappeared and his skin was a darker colour than its sickly white after eating Senzu beans. Haru ate one every 5 days. That's how often he needed to eat one to feel satisfied. Realising he could go 10 days without food eating one if he didn't work out so intensely.

Haru had the Gacha machine or what would have been more accurate to describe as a slot machine in front of him as he pulled down the handle. Even after receiving bad items he couldn't help but hope for something good. Anything that would make his situation better and fun.

[Trash Grade- Gamer Girl Bath Water.]
[Trash Grade- Porn Magazine.]
[Trash Grade- Rotten Microwave Meal.]
[F Grade- Power: Hawks Vision.]
[F Grade- Technique: Equilibrium of the Six.]

Haru: P...

Quickly Haru felt his eyes burn and information rush to his head. Filling his mind. Has bled as it dripped into his hands and then they started to water. Washing all the blood from his eyes. Holding his face as he forcefully blinked a couple of times. Haru looked at the golden translucent screen. Looking with a big sharp smile on his face.

The fact he had received F grade items wasn't what he was happy about. It was what they fundamentally were. What they meant. Power and technique. He had wondered for a year what the two empty spaces on his screen meant. Whether they would permanently remain empty because he didn't have any innate power or technique like other Dragon Gods. Whether he would just have to become overgeared for power or consume some super rare food that would grant him power.

But as Haru opened his menu there was more hope than ever before. Not desire or determination pushing him. But fun and hope. Even though he was trapped, the physical feeling of being trapped was 100 times better than the mental feeling he had suffered from for all those years. In fact when he first arrived here he felt different. There was less of a need to grow. It felt optional. That didn't stop him from wanting it though. But he felt... calm. Peaceful in the quiet dimension with a quiet mind.

Haru stared at his golden translucent screen as there was not only technique in his status. But more power. The Gacha machine disappeared as Haru stared more at his golden status screen with a sharp toothed smile.

He was growing.
