《Gilgamesh In DxD》Chapter 8

[Quest Alert]
Hmm, my first mission.
[Demon Hunter]
-Description: Kill 100 Demons.
-Quantity: 000/100.
-Reward: 100,000 Gold, 1,000 Exp, "Eye of God" skill
Hey hey isn't that too much system?
There are 100 demons.
[Not]
I grumble a little.
"Alright, let's get started"
I stare at the demon in front of me, who so far hasn't taken a step.
[Name: Demon Soldier]
[Level: 16]
[Hp: 1,600]
[Mp: 300]
I raise an eyebrow, I didn't know I could see it.
But the most worrying thing is its level.
He's much bigger than mine, too bad I can't see his attributes.
Looking forward I just see that the demon has disappeared.
Widening my eyes I jump to the side to dodge the demon's blow that with its claws hit the ground piercing it as if it were paper, and the moment it hits the ground flames emerge from its hands in the spot hit.
Hey! If I got hit by that I would die! I only escaped due to my reflexes.
Quickly I open the [Gate of Babylon] behind me, which comes through three golden ripples, from the left ripple comes a long-bladed medieval sword, from the middle ripple comes a black magic staff with golden outlines, and from the last ripple a spear with a silver blade and golden length appears.
This wasn't my first time using the [Gate of Babylon], after all I trained a bit with it while I was still in the bedroom.
Using [Gate of Babylon] is interesting so to speak, when I first activated it I felt like activating it and controlling it like I've been doing it my whole life.
Maybe it's because of the memories of the original Gilgamesh, or because the system imprinted it on my mind, I wasn't sure, but I also didn't compare myself to the original Gilgamesh in using it.

I first had the limitation of only being able to open a maximum of seven gates, not only for my magical power, but also for my concentration, for the original Gilgamesh to open and control the [Gate of Babylon] was as simple as breathing.
And also concentration is important, without it I can end up summoning something random, if I want a specific weapon, I need to know about it.
Apart from that, it is quite simple to control the [Babylonian Portal].
I focus and prepare the magic staff that had come out of a portal.
One thing I noticed about the magic staffs is that they already have the spells inside them, I just have to activate them and keep the [Gate of Babylon] open to use them.
Sending some magic power to the staff that lights up in golden energy before unleashing it against the demon.
The demon had not even noticed the energy that came to him, after all he was still with his claws stuck in the stones, having no reaction time, the magic power hits the demon in full causing an explosion.
[-700 Hp]
I see the notification that my attack reduced the demon's health by 700 points.
After the dust caused by the explosion disappears I see the demon still stunned and quickly throw the sword in its direction.
The sword traveled at a great speed, piercing the stomach of the demon that screams in pain, not only for the damage, but also because this sword I fired was a holy sword.
[-800 Hp]
Before the demon even reacts I shoot the spear in his direction piercing his head.
The demon after receiving so many attacks dissipates into a blue dust, causing my weapons to fall to the ground, before returning to the [Gate of Babylon] dissipating into a golden dust.
[You killed a Middle Class Demon]

[You received 500 Exp]
I sigh a little.
For my first battle I think I went well.
I widen my eyes as I feel danger and jump to the right just in time to dodge a large spear that hit the ground.
Looking at the new attackers I notice their appearance.
The one who attacked me had a medium statue and what attracted the most attention was his head which was made of a goat's skull, and he wielded a large black spear that appeared to be made of stones.
The further back had an appearance identical to the one I had defeated, only being a little shorter and wielding a magic staff that had flames dancing around it.
Quickly the demon with the spear advanced on me.
I started to dodge skillfully, thanks to my great perception and senses.
I one of those dodge I see the demon with the staff throw a fireball at me, I jump to the side dodging it, but the demon with the spear was already in front of me with the spear he threw at me.
But before the spear reached I opened the [Gate of Babylon] taking a sword that defended the demon's attack, without wasting time I opened another portal below the demon's head where a sword pierced the demon's head.
[You killed a Middle Class Demon]
[You gained 500 Exp]
The demon with the staff prepares to cast another spell, but acting faster I open three more portals where three holy swords appear that fired at the demon that screamed in pain when it was hit in the legs and arms.
Without letting the demon recover I throw the sword I had used to defend the demon's attack with the spear and hang on its head.
[You killed a Middle Class Demon]
[You gained 500 Exp]
I sigh a little as I watch my Mp return.
[Wishes to loot]
[Yes] [No]
Hmmm that I didn't know.
Yes.
[Picking...]
[Congratulations the host has received two items and one skill]
[You have acquired "Demon Spear"]
[You have acquired "Magic Staff of the Fire Demon"]
[You have acquired the skill "Spear Mastery"]
[Items have been added from the "Gate of Babylon"]
I understand so I gained an ability and weapons from the Demons.
Can you give me a System Description?
[Yes, host]

-Rarity: Normal.
-Level: 01/20
-Description: Increases mastery and accuracy with spears. Only applies if the user is brandishing a spear.

Very interesting.
Deciding to give up this ability I summon from the [Gate of Babylon] a spear that had a golden shaft with white designs and its tip was silver, being slightly curved.
The moment I touched the spear I felt an intuition of how to use it, although I didn't quite master it, I could already know the basics of how to use it.
I brace myself with the spear as I decide to advance into the dungeon.
Maybe I should try to release my [Sacred Gear]?

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
