Author notes 1:
Here again to save webnovel society another week from the translation slop.
It's worse than ever now...the rankings are plagued...good thing my main page where I read fanfics is cleeeeean.
What do you think? Does the site need a block user button? If you block someone, you can no longer see their stories, comments, in the rankings or anywhere else. I personally think it's necessary.
Im tired of dodging the translators fanfics when im scavenging from something edible
Give all your Powerstones to fanfics that aren't translations.
Not mine. This story is shadowbanned from the rankings like 8 months ago, so the stones are worthless to me lol.
So any other story that isn't a Chinese translation.
Its sad because now I'm sure this page is absolutely cooked.
Btw im finally using google docs to write. I will stop being a caveman who uses Windows text blocks in 2026.
So maybe you notice some changes because google docs has autocorrect. Fear not, I will read it before I publish so nothing weird happens. (font size can be a bit different but you can change that here in the page)
Btw i updated my fanfics ideas/snippets, go to my profile to see if you want.
Things we will talk about in the author notes 2.

August 10, 2009, 4:27 PM -
Samuel Lancaster ascended beyond the heavens and attained his divinity.
✧ ────────── ✧ ────────── ✧
- Third Person POV -
- NHK (Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai) News 7 -
Around 4:20 p.m., viewers across Japan tuned into NHK News 7 expecting some answers, some reports, maybe some explanation, seasonal weather transitions? at least something.
Instead, the opening camera shot revealed something no scriptwriter, meteorologist, or astronomer could have expected.
Not only in Japan but around the world, the heavens themselves have changed. The entire sky was covered in a deep majestic gold.
Heavens burns gold.
Scattered across that impossible brightness were stars that are now visible in broad daylight.
All sorts of theories were thrown around like crazy. Even conspiracy theories.
From a new cosmic phenomenon, a rare meteorological problem...to something supernatural.
From the second coming of Christ, the apocalypse, aliens and other stuff.
A Woman and a Man, both in a suit, were sitting behind a desk with a serious expression.
Both sitting behind a desk.
"Good afternoon Japan, I'm Shinichi Taketa." The man introduced himself with a serious expression, he acted normally in front of the camera, he had done it hundreds of times.
"And I'm Yuko Aoyama." The woman gave a small smile with a nod.
There was tension in the studio because of the phenomenon, but professionalism was still maintained.
"We begin this evening, with an extraordinary phenomenon currently being observed worldwide." The male anchor said with tension.
"While we wait for our two guests to arrive and settle in, let's look at the reactions of people in other parts of the world." The woman said.
The scene changes showing the logo of the channel, as they show other video recordings of how people react in other parts of the world.
Even collaborating with local news outlets in those countries to find out public opinion
In America it was night, people came out of their houses astonished and amazed to look at the golden sky, some people who went to bed early got up because of the light believing it was dawn...but it wasn't.
The reporter from Fox News approached a middle-aged man; he was on his porch looking at the sky with his family.
"Hello sir, Rick Leventhal from fox news, What are your thoughts on... this?" The reporter signaled to the sky.
The man glanced at the reporter then went right back to look at the sky.
"I dont know Rick…I really dont know. Honestly I thought I had drank too much and woke up in the morning of the next day…but no." The man smiled, shaking his head.
"...Dad." His daughter just facepalm.
"...Dear." His wife just let out a sigh.
"Sir, do you think the world is ending?" Rick asked the million dollar question.
"Not really? i mean yeah is…weird but strangely, deep down... I'm not afraid, even though the logical part of me tells me this is fucking weird." The family man expressed.
The man said, surprising the reporter and his family.
"DAAAAD! tell him about the animals." His child said loudly as the mother grabbed him, putting her hand in his mouth, so that the child does not interrupt.
"Sir?" The reporter asked.
"Oh yeah we have two pets, cat and dog…they started staring at the sky half an hour ago, we called them but they ignored us, we tried to give them food but they didn't care, we talked to the neighbors and other pets were doing the same." The man explained the strange behavior of the animals.
"Well…people say animals sometimes can see better than us humans." Rick offered some explanation.
"...Maybe you are right." The family man said.
The scene changed to other countries.
In the streets of Russia, people were stargazing too, from the children to the elder. Some people going as far as kneeling and praying in the street.
In South America they got the morning early by two hours. People get up from the bed hours earlier to watch the phenomenon.
In Argentina Buenos Aires a female reporter from Cronica TV enters the Neighborhood of Flores.
The neighborhood was lively from being this early in the "morning"
The reporter signaled the camera man to go closer to an elderly woman.
"Hello ma'am Anabela Ascar from Cronica, how are you experiencing this golden morning with the stars?"
"...I dont know, but if i have to go then i have to go, someday you have to die." The grandma said with a smile.
"But aren't you afraid?" the reporter asked her with a puzzled expression.
"No." the grandma said as if everything will be okay in the end.
The reporter kept asking some questions to other people until a young woman came…
She looked…unusual, so to speak. There was always something slightly off about her presence.
She was pale, she had dark circles under her eyes, her hair was long raven black, some strands covered one eye.
Dark jeans, Dark boots, A tank top with strange symbols…and some feathers on the shoulders?
When she came closer to the camera the reporter flinched slightly.
"Hi, What are your thoughts on what's happening around the world?" Anabela remained professional and calm and asked her regardless.
"I have privileged information about what's going on." The mysterious young woman said with a serious tone.
The cameraman didn't waste a second getting a close-up on her, the channel needed more ratings. He didn't even bother to ask the reporter.
"I'm a witch from a covenant from around here! we are preparing for the birth of the mightiest divine, im from the supernatural world, and the world is about to change-" She explained quickly, the girl began to get agitated.
!!
Out of nowhere came four men in blacksuits came to intercept the girl, grabbing her legs and arms so she can't move.
The reporter's eyes go wide and the sudden crazy situation.
All the people started turning around to see what was happening. What was the commotion.
"NOOO! SUELTENME! LA PUTA QUE LOS PARIO!, LA GENTE TIENE DERECHO A SABER–" She screamed in rage, twisting violently trying to break free.
The broadcast suddenly got shut down.
Only the static remained.
Of course the higher ups around the world started to act.
Doing everything possible to keep the supernatural world still a secret.
After all, if they act natural and the explanation about this phenomenon
is "good"...all that's left is to pretend...and they have plenty of people for that.
If their simulation is good, then people will believe it.
And that's exactly what they are doing around the world.
Back again at the Japanese studio, NHK News 7.
The two reporters welcomed two new experts to share some light in the matter.
"Thanks for coming Mr.Tsuneta." Yuko and Shinichi bow a bit to the old man.
"Thanks for coming Mr.Sato." They exchange greetings again with the youngest of the experts.
They sat down and got comfortable.
Then the male reporter asked the question of the moment to the expert astronomers.
"Forgive to be blunt but what is happening in the sky, do you have any idea?" The male anchor asked the two men with respect.
"Absolutely." Sato nodded with no hesitation.
"I have no idea." Tsuneta, the old man said with a smile.
Faced with the two different answers, a silence lasted for 3 seconds. Until Sato started to speak.
"It's a new space phenomenon, similar to the aurora borealis but more intense. I recommend you don't be alarmed and enjoy the spectacle because it's unknown if it will ever happen again." Sato said with confidence and finished with a smile.
Tsuneta was dumbfounded at what he heard from the young one. Thinking he hear badly because of his age.
"Are you serious? Tsuneta asked.
"Yes." Sato nodded. "Is already confirmed by the University of Tokyo." Sato double down the lie on national television.
After all he was hired for that purpose, to keep the masses away from the truth.
To confuse and redirect the public interest.
The two anchors sighed in relief hearing that.
"That's not how it works young man." Tsuneta shakes his head. Ready to use his seniority to educate his kouhai.
"It is. Maybe the National astronomical observatory of Japan needs some updates on the matter, old man?" Satou said that with a slight smile, full intention of provoking him.
Tsuneta blood boiled.
The two anchors shared awkward looks.
Tsuneta sighed and asked.
"You were with the university of Tokyo, Ren Sato?" Tsuneta asked, he said his full name, testing it in his mouth.
Tsuneta thought this "expert" had a pretty average name...too average maybe.
"Indeed." Sato said in a deep voice.
"...Funny thing is, I never hear of you…I have many colleagues and friends who work there and I've never heard your name mentioned in all these years." Tsuneta threw that comment at him, trying to grasp Sato's reaction.
"Probably because you only know old people, you need to expand your circle, old man." Sato chirped with a mirth giving a nod after he finishes.
Everyone in their homes can see in live reaction how Tsuneta's face became red from anger.
Tsuneta only saw red.
He comes to talk but it's only receiving crazy strays from this bastard!
'But something is off…something off about this cheeky, disrespectful, piece of shit, so called expert.' Tsuneta concluded calmly in his mind.
After this whole thing is over he will make a call to the university of Tokyo.
After a while the anchors decide to cut off this talk with the experts because it got uncomfortable and wouldn't be allowed on national television.
- Temple of Heliopolis - Egypt
Ra put his gaze in the firmament. Amazed by the golden miracle in the sky.
"So the omens spoke true... a new Divine has been born." Horus said next to Ra.
Anubis growled at the sky, he knew this changed everything.
"Why was I not informed of this before now?" Anubis said to Ra.
"For I knew thou wouldst attempt to prevent it. Yet this is the will of the stars themselves. They have chosen their new god, and so it shall be, whether we welcome it or not." Ra stated.
Anubis growled again but stopped letting out a sigh.
- Grand Shrine of Ise -
Amaterasu rubbed his hands nervously. She sat in her office, troubled by the current event.
Susanoo put his hand on her shoulder reassuring her.
"Calm thyself, sister. Fear is unworthy of one who standeth as mistress of a pantheon. We shall be well, as ever before." The god of storms said to his sister.
"Thou dost not understand... this child of the Void is claiming all the stars for himself,even the Moon..." Amaterasu said worried, after all she is a sun goddess.
Of course, she didn't like the possible idea of having to ask permission to use her divinity, because that would turn her into a mere servant of this…new divine.
"Fear not, sister. Should this void child bring calamity upon our pantheon, I myself shall slay him." Susanoo said confidently but unaware of the situation.
Amaterasu's heart almost drops.
She can't believe how hot headed his brother was.
"Absolutely not!! I know not what shall come to pass, yet I shall not allow thee to die in vain against the God of the Cosmos. Susanoo, I forbid it. It is my command." The goddess said firmly.
"..." Susanoo.
- Mount Olympus -
Zeus was sitting on his divine throne cursing his luck.
Looking at the divine event with disgust.
'After all these ages, a new god is born… and damnation upon it, his power surpasseth mine own by far.' Zeus cursed in his mind.
His gaze shifted towards Apollo, the god of the sun.
Apollo was pale.
'Poor bastard…this new abomination is tormenting him alive. Though, truth be told, not him alone, but all gods whose divinities are bound unto the stars and the Moon…nay…unto the Cosmos itself.' Zeus huffed.
All the gods of Olympus were present watching the event.
all but one…and of course it was Hades.
Thunder continued to crash from the summit of Mount Olympus; Zeus was not pleased.
- Appalachian Mountains -
On this side of the world, in these ancient forests, which are millions of years old, things were…a bit turbulent.
Witches covens who live secretly deep within these forests were preparing.
They grabbed everything they could, prepared their witchcraft, wanting to be the first to make a deal with the god of the cosmos.
All to amass power and for personal gain.
They didn't care if they made the deal with an ancient demon or a god.
All for their power and ambitions.
They will pay the price later…or never if they are clever enough.
They keep going.
They prepared their sorcery, they turned on their machinery that they hid underground.
The most old and seasoned witches were managing the younger ones, they don't want a single mistake.
The natural world did not understand the nature of the phenomenon.
But the supernatural world understood it naturally. All magical creatures did.
From the lowest tier magician, to the monster hidden in the most remote place of the world.
For the witchers everything was going smoothly until…
ROOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
A powerful and loud roar echoed throughout the forest...for several kilometers around.
…
The source of this roar was a cryptid.
The Wendigo.
Not any wendigo, this one was the largest and the oldest.
With all the muscles of the body tensed he roared in defiance towards the golden sky.
The roar was full of defiance, anger…and sadness
The father of monsters, The God of the Cosmos. He take the moon and all the stars for him.
Just as humans can intrinsically intuit not to be afraid of the golden sky.
The ancient monsters sensed they were not welcome in the new order, they were rejected once again.
Not only that, but they also lost the stars and the moon, so monsters nature aligned like them were against it.
Other creatures, like skinwalkers, could be seen nearby, staring furiously at the sky with red eyes.
They were confused and angry.
They didn't understand why the father of the monsters rejected them.
But the reason was simple.
The King of Stars will never side with dark creatures that prey on humanity.
- Hell -
Rizevim Livan Lucifer can feel the commotion.
After so many years, something finally sparked his interest.
The God of the cosmos…he feels…that similarity.
Lucifer, his father, was the Morningstar.
His divinity as an angel consisted of one star.
But now this individual...who rose to power...has it all.
'Stronger than the Ouroboros and the Great Red…' Rizevim mused in his mind.
"Interesting." He said with a twisted smile as his mind ran with schemes.
For the first time in years he is interested in something.
He will talk with his new acquaintances in Khaos brigade regarding this new divine.
- Dimensional Gap -
The giant dragon soared through the multicolored dimension, turned around, and looked in one direction.
He paused, lost in thought. He was right after all.
The brat who wanted to spy on his dreams became a god.
Letting out a sigh, he resumes flight, he needs to know if he failed in his duty of protecting the world against external threats.
- United States - Texas -
Ophis the Ouroboros Dragon grabbed an apple pie that was cooling down on the edge of a window.
She was about to gobble it up whole.
Until she turned his neck.
Towards the sky, the peak. Just as the apotheosis reached its climax.
"Eh?" A child suddenly caught Ophis red-handed stealing the pie. His mother pie.
"Ah." Ophis stared with a blank expression to the child.
She quickly made a portal and entered, pie in her hands.
Ophis was going closer to where this new being was being born.
Her motive was obvious.
Only the boy remained there, he was perplexed.
"MOM!" He shouted as he ran back inside his house.
- Azazel Pov -
Unbelievable.
…An apotheosis.
At this stage of time?
"Ah…I ran out." I blurted, shaking my empty flask. Guess I will tank it sober this one.
I glance at the rest.
Everyone is surprised, wide eyes looking at the sky.
When Lancaster left the atmosphere and was in space territory… the stars blocked all the prying eyes.
'What an incredible amount of magic is building up there...what the hell, it just keeps going and going, it's not stopping.' I analyzed it a little.
I only saw two apotheosis in my life.
The first was Enoch, when father transformed him into Metatron…
But it was different...father gave him a bit of divinity like he does to all of us angels...it was somewhat forced apotheosis.
And that's how Metatron became our brother.
The second was Jesus.
But he did it in spirit...the son of god became god.
When he finished all his business on earth…he decided to go to the other side.
The paradise of souls.
He was dead after all.
Now this is what Samuel Lancaster was capable of?
Is he becoming a god? Ascending by himself huh.
Was this his great secret? His great potential? His superhuman strength? His otherworldly talent?
I will say that's the correct answer...but something still doesn't add up for me.
I suppose our pantheon is going to be a new born god.
"Azazel what is happening?" Vali finally breaks the silence.
"He is becoming a god." I said bluntly.
"""WHAT!?""" A lot of the brats screamed in surprise.
Michael and I looked at each other.
"If he becomes a god then things will change." I said to him.
"...Indeed." Michael with a troublesome expression.
Ah…brother you never let father go.
Even after he died you continued to pray for him.
"Lets look at the bright side, we will stop being a godless pantheon." I say with a smile.
Sirzechs and Serafall perked a bit at my words with worried expressions.
But what caught my attention was the girl...Xenovia. Her expression when I said that.
"Xenovia Quarta, did you know something about this?" I asked calmly but firmly.
- Xenovia Pov -
"Xenovia Quarta, did you know something about this?" Azazel said as everyone turned their necks to my direction.
There is no point in continuing to keep it a secret.
"It caught my attention because he said something similar to me. He wanted to become a god to save our pantheon." I dropped the bomb.
I ignored the reactions of the others when I told them the news and looked back at the sky.
'Sam…'
So it's finally happening…
Im worried…even if you told me you wont change…im still worried.
It's good that you are always the strongest, because I can still have these moments of doubt and weakness.
You are the one who always knows what to do. The one who always knows what's going on.
Then I will give you my absolute faith from now on.
After all, you are The king of Stars.
—
(BGM: Forsaken Regalia - The King Of Stars)
- Samuel? Pov -
I have no idea what is going on.
Ligh…i feel ligh…lightheaded too.
I can see a black substance coming out of my body...what.
I need to focus.
Oh i see.
Body and soul are being purified…I'm ascending.
Of course, I also eliminate the impurities left on my body, I don't want accidents or people taking advantage of this.
It hurts.
It hurts so much.
Wait if body and soul is being purified then next one is the mind?
Then-
Ah.
"I̷ ̸r̷e̴i̵g̵n̴ ̶a̸b̴s̴o̴l̸u̵t̷e̵ ̸a̶m̴o̷n̴g̶ ̴t̸h̷e̸ ̷s̴t̷a̸r̴s̶. "
I said it instinctively.
My head is killing me.
From the same black void began to sprout a throne, black and gold.
Ah…i understand.
I sit down slowly in the Throne of Stars.
My throne.
I closed my eyes, letting my mind process all the knowledge the stars are giving me.
With this ascended mind I finally knew what happened. I finally broke this seal.
Finally I remember…
I know how I died that day, my last day as Samuel Floyd.
I had everything ready that day. I was about to move to the forest.
I studied the area for years, made multiple visits, bought all the tools, built the cabin, and prepared the supplies. I armed myself with knowledge for that life.
I didn't want to be another Christopher McCandless.
I was so tired of the world…of the people…of everything.
It was one of many cases…I had existential fatigue.
Then that day arrived…my last day in the city.
I sat down on a park bench. Enjoying my last day in the city, without knowing i was enjoying my last day in that life.
Then the gacha came.
It is presented as one of the many meta essences.
The system was emotionless as always, without personality, now I know it has no ROB behind it.
But now I understand…they are conscious concepts. Up to a point.
It told me the essence rolled all over the world, every single person has the chance to get it, and I was the lucky chosen user, by pure luck.
Then it is confirmed then….
I'm the luckiest motherfucker alive.
It explained that that was his way of choosing, always by luck, after all, thats how the gacha works.
Not only that, it also explains that other essences have other selection criteria.
Interesting…
I can imagine the criteria required by the other meta essences, The Warlock, The Scholar, even one of the most famous, The Meta Essence of Blank.
Going back to my topic about the gacha…
The important thing was the chance it gave me...now I remember it perfectly.
They always offer what you want most.
In my case…One last adventure.
It offered me an adventure in the best possible world that the essence could find...if I accepted, I would have to leave my body in that world so that my soul and consciousness could transmigrate.
The knowledge of the meta essences would be sealed...that information was blocked and went to the dark corners of my mind…for protection.
For the preservation of my mortal mental integrity, memories regarding the moment of my transmigration will be sealed.
Not everything of course. I still have the memories of my past life and my meta-knowledge.
If I rejected the offer, the gacha would simply reroll in the world again until it found a user.
I sat there stunned, thinking about it for hours.
I prepare so much for my own adventure and this opportunity comes to me out of nowhere.
Then i laughed.
I laughed out so loud…heh. I felt like the universe was laughing in my face.
I went home, put on my best suit...
I got into bed...covered myself with the sheets...and pressed "yes"
That's how I accepted the offer.
But there is something I didn't like.
After all, now I also have his new memories too..
What the essence offered the original Samuel Lancaster...what he wanted the most.
Eternal peace.
The essence offered him the chance to die and be with his loved ones...and he accepted.
…And it breaks my heart.
But it's okay…I know exactly what to do to honor him.
And now I understand that he was me in this universe. Another version of myself.
The multiverse has infinite possibilities, huh?
"..."
So that how the fucking gacha brought me in a high tier world.
Highschool DxD of all things…
Given the chance to choose, I would never have chosen this universe
Now there is space available and I have the meta-knowledge of DxD…"the best possible world" the essence will find…
Are you being for real gacha!?
THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE START!?
Starting in a high tier world is fucking craaaaazy.
I also know of other low tiers and mid tiers. Were all those worlds really unavailable?
Guess I ran out of luck in this aspect….
It is what it is.
….Talking about the gacha.
–-Congratulations host for becoming the most powerful being in the DxD universe–-
–-The next gacha will have improved quality rolls–-
What a weird ass gacha system.
I guess tomorrow I'm praying to myself and the RNGesus.
For sure as The King of Stars is one of the luckiest divines right?
But now is the time to greet my warriors.
"Blow up, grow and materialize." I said to the constellations.
"Come and salute your king."
- Third Person Pov -
While the king of the stars was sitting on his throne.
The constellations began to tremble...slowly light began to give them shape.
Eighty eight figures began to materialize.
Different sizes and shapes.
They mingled with starlight and the darkness of the cosmos.
Their eyes were completely shiny golden like their king, while their bodies reflected the cosmos, many stars. like a galaxy.
The squadron lined up.
All the constellations were under the king's command, after all.
Eighty eight of them were god level individuals.
Of those eighty eight, twelve stood out, taking a step forward.
Those twelve were the signs of the zodiac.
And of those twelve, one in the middle stood out, taking a step forward.
He was the strongest of his eighty-eight companions.
The king saw that his strength rivaled the Great Red.
Lion's head with armor, more gold than black...it shines brightly in the cosmos.
He knelt like a warrior in front of the King of Stars sitting on the throne.
Everyone else did the same.
"I greet with total joy the king of the stars, I am Leo, your strongest warrior." Leo said with a deep ethereal voice while placing a hand on his chest. Bowing his head in respect.
The constellation of Leo was blessed by the king after all, he was born on August 10th.
And the two shared the lion as a symbol.
"Lift your heads." The king command.
The squadron lifted it looking at his new king.
"Your Majesty, I beg you, accept this gift from my hands. Crown yourself the Absolute King of the Stars, the God of the Cosmos." Leo pleaded, offering fragments of stardust the most golden and radiant in all creation.
The king looked at him with a smile...and decided to accept.
"Sure." He said it easily. The truth is, he'd forgotten that in these cases there are coronations.
Manipulating cosmic energy. The king began to forge his crown.
Using golden stardust gathered from the constellation. With that, he made the base of the crown, bright gold adorned with the most precious multicolored gem.
Then the king himself used his own ingredient. Dark matter.
As he manipulated the black abyss, his soldiers stared at him in astonishment.
The king was the perfect blend of light and darkness. Human by birth, and like all humans, he has the potential for good and evil.
And that was also reflected in his crown. Made of stardust and black matter.
The finished crown floated near Leo...he understood instantly.
He gently takes the crown and brings it to the king.
As Samuel watched Leo approach, he thought about his life. He was saying goodbye to his name.
Because after all, a god cannot have a moral worldly name.
So not Samuel anymore. Not a surname anymore.
It has to be a name worthy of a god.
Leo slowly placed the crown on her head, and when he finished he moved a little away from the throne and knelt down again.
The king gave him a nod, then stood up slowly from his throne.
The entire supernatural world will hear it, it will resonate throughout the universe.
"I am Lucerion, King of the Stars, God of the Abrahamic Pantheon." The god of cosmos stated.
The whole supernatural world trembled, every being held its breath.
"I reign absolute among the stars."

Author notes 2:
Next chapter is the last gacha roll for the fanfic…yep. We are 4 to 5 chapters to the end.
Let's talk about this chapter.
So yeah some of the reactions around the world and how the NATURAL world reacts.
Just a little clarification, why do monsters call him the father of monsters?
It has to do with the title of the Sacred Gears. If you're the user of the Boosted Gear, you are The Red Dragon Emperor, Red Dragon Emperor of Domination.
If you are the user of the Divine Dividing, you are the White Dragon Emperor, Dragon Emperor of Supremacy.
If you have Annihilation Maker? Then you are the Father of Monsters given the nature of the sacred gear. Simple as that.
Azazel talking a bit about Jesus, but you know its hard it is to make Jesus fit into DxD.
Funny thing is, I'm rereading the Bible and other things, even reading the "occult," so to speak, all to gradually improve the fanfic lol.
We've finished discussing his past life too.
We talked about meta essences, that was my personal interpretation of them. I wanted to do something somewhat new, and here it is.
Now Lucerion basically has to clean the pantheon…hehe.
The next chapter is my favorite.
In the next few chapters im getting a bit crazy about the lore of the fic, but i think you will like it.
I'm posting it a day early because tomorrow i want to sleep all day lol.
See you in the next one and many thanks to those who comment.
