Dxd - Just want to survive
Life as a mere mortal turns out to be too boring—or too short. A young man, obsessed with the world of High School DxD, finds himself tragically killed by a mysterious fallen angel. However, in the final moments before his life is taken, he is gifted with a system called the Akashic, which grants him power, knowledge, and a second chance at survival.
Awakening as a homeless man near death, he must adapt to the world of Kuoh, a city filled with supernatural conflict, wild demons, and deadly Sacred Gears. Using a system that helps him absorb knowledge, acquire items from various dimensions, and complete quests to rank up, he begins to build a new life: from creating a shelter in the forest, learning martial arts and magic, to conquering the Tower of Babylon, a mysterious challenge that grows more deadly with each passing floor.
Amidst the absurdity of a world largely familiar to him from previous shows, he must decide whether his goal is simply survival or whether he must take an active role in the inter-racial conflict and supernatural forces that threaten humanity. Every floor, every quest, and every decision carries both risk and opportunity—and in this world, power is the most valuable currency.
Survival isn't just about luck… it's about the ability to continually evolve, learn from the system, and face a world crazier than one's own imagination.

This story will draw heavily from otherworldly elements, particularly the concept of the power possessed by the main character, who hails from the Murim world. Readers can already guess this from the cover and the theme.
It's important to note that the main character's power level will develop gradually. Having a system doesn't mean they instantly gain cheat powers. In fact, I intentionally made things difficult for the main character so that their power development feels logical and plausible.
I hope readers enjoy this story concept; the theme is quite refreshing.
