Students streamed into a high school gymnasium in gym uniforms as club activities began, with one student standing out among the rest with his lilac eyes and shoulder-length purple hair with an athletic build and a basketball in his hand. That student was, of course, me, your tall, handsome ikemen protagonist, Haruto Satou.
I eyed all the club members before me as I glanced at a bright purple window in the corner of my vision, an odd phenomena that started when I entered Kuho Highschool two months ago as a first-year.
[Current Template: Atsushi Murasakibara]
[Template Progress: 92%]
So close. So close to completing the template and getting more answers.
As I started going through my stretches, I saw a young man with short blonde hair and grey eyes approach me in his gym uniform and start going through stretches next to me as he spoke.
"Yo Satou. What are you up to lately? You've been eyeing everyone in the gymnasium for days and its starting to creep some people out."
"Hello to you too Saji. And for your information, I am doing that because I am looking for someone good enough to go against."
"Damn, sorry for sullying your greatness with my presence." Saji said in an exaggeratedly reverent tone.
"Shut up; I'm not looking down on anyone. It's just that I know I am so close to the next level; I just need something to push me into it. I've been stuck here for a couple of days and easy wins are not going to help me progress so I am looking for someone who can make me try." I said as I internally winced at the last sentence when I realized how arrogant and edgy it sounded.
"Putting that aside, who do you think can do it?" I continued, trying to shift the focus off from me.
Saji noticed and decided to hold back on taking pleasure from my suffering as he closed his eyes and started thinking.
"How about Meguri? She is the fastest amongst us and has a crazy high vertical, she should do." He said with an eye open.
"She fits the bill and would probably be the perfect candidate. But you are missing out on one thing my dear Saji. And that would be her extreme hyperactiveness." I said with a grimace. While I wasn't exactly an introvert, that girl was just too damn energetic to deal with. However, that should help push me since that would make her unpredictable.
I glanced once more at the 92% on the progress bar and sighed as I decided to just swallow the pill and as her.
I approached her as the girl was running circles at a group of people trying to keep up with her in warmup exercises and called out to her, "Hey, Meguri!"
The beautiful girl with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair and light brown eyes skidded to a stop and looked up at who called her. "Heya! Did you call me? Wow, is your purple hair natural? What do you need?" She said in rapid succession.
I decided to ignore most of the questions she asked and be straightforward. So, I said, "Do you wanna play a basketball match against me?"
...
(A\N: Skipping the match cuz I ain't good enough to write one and don't wanna give y'all AI slop. Plus, this is meant to be a slop story I don't take too seriously anyway.)
"That was quite the match, Satou. I don't think I have seen you so close to losing before." Saji said as he approached my panting self.
"Yeah. This was exactly the kind of match I needed." I replied with excitement under all the exhaustion. I had felt it in the match, a sense of absolute focus on the game with no idle thoughts or distractions; heck, it was to the point where I wasn't even thinking; I was just instinctively responding.

[Confirm]
I grinned as I saw those messages enter my vision on a glowing purple screen and pushed down my bubbling excitement and anticipation at finally getting answers for later in case the rewards are more eye-catching.
"Well, I'm done for the day Saji, see you tommorow."
Saji raised an eyebrow and said, "You going home early instead of staying till the staff forces you out? This day sure has been full of suprises. Anyways, see you later Satou."
...
Finally, at home and changed into more casual clothes, I sat down on my bed and brought up the holographic windows to the center of my vision by focusing on them and then clicked on the [Confirm] button.

[Begining Backup Memory Recovery Protocol.]
All of a sudden, my mind blanked, being filled with information at a rate faster than I could process them, as images, voices, and emotions flickered through my brain at a rapid rate. I could feel my head getting hotter as sweat started pouring out, but it surprisingly did not hurt but was closer to an increasing feeling of discomfort.
Just as quickly as all the memories had passed through my focus, they clicked into place, and I grinned as I realized who I was and, more importantly, where I was.
I am a reincarnator from the planet Blue Star, also known to scrubs as Earth. I arrived in this world after I misjudged the traffic flow and got hit by Van-chan. I understand your shock; after all, this premium isekai service was provided by Truck-kun's little brother, who is clearly still inexperienced in this job based on the amount of pain I felt before dying. And I am in an anime I barely watched the first season of due to it being so echi it was borderline hentai, so I resorted to reading fanfics to explore its lore. I am in DxD, and I have a system!
My attention was then pulled to a ding in my head as another series of windows in front of me.

A\N Yo, your author here with a new fanfic. This one is supposed to be a light-hearted one that I don't take too seriously to gain more experience, so suggestions and ideas would be much appreciated.
Updates will be irregular since I have life and irl responsibilities (shocking, I know).
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding the story, don't hesitate to message or ping me on this Discord Server (beware the lobotomy though):
