Hi, I'm Stephan Klausch, and apparently I've just died.

I can't remember much, though I do believe I got involved in a boat accident, the whole ship sank and I were too late because I were helping the kids escape.

I got a part time job as a play time watcher/guard to be able to pay for housing as I wanted to move out after graduating from high school, but apparently not, death was on the menu instead.

Crap, and I don't even have any of my Touko keychains on me, didn't even get to say farewell to her...

"But rather, you could say 'hello' to her." a voice suddenly says, making me look around, before I spot who spoke to me, and I nearly gasp from surprise who it is.

"What the fuck, Sothis Fire Emblem?!"

"Fire what now..? Anyways, you seem to know who I am, good!" Sothis says as she walks up to me. "Stephan Klausch, was it?"

"Uhuh, a very dead Stephan at that." I say, sighing over the fact that I am actually for real dead. "I'm surprised you are our Goddess though-"

"Nope, sorry, I'm just one of the Gods in the video game and anime dimension. Your actual God banished you from reality for being so in love with Touko Kirigaya."

"Oh wow, harsh..."

"Honestly, I agree! She is everything for you, right?"

"Yeah, she has helped me a lot to finally find happiness, even if I know she is fictional..."

Sothis giggles a little before flying up a little and soon landing again.

"Hmm, well considering that you are in the video game dimension, what would you say about a second chance?"

I look at Sothis, surprised over her saying something like that.

"But why though?"

"Because of your general selfness! Of course you should have a second chance!"

"A-ah, I see... Well, so I'm basically getting isekai'd, huh?"

I stood for a moment, taking in what Sothis had just told me. I'm generally not an isekai fan, but the concept of isekai can be cool.

And now it can be done to have me meet the love of my life..!

I were almost going to tell Sothis that I wanted to be transported into the world of Bang Dream, before hesitating for a second.

The hesitation came because then I remembered that I have all these other universes I could be transported to as well, like Devil May Cry, Puyo Puyo, Toaru, Tales of or even D4DJ.

"Hey Sothis, when I get transported to an universe, will I remain the same?"

"Yes, you will, so if you transport yourself into the world of Doom, get ready to be torn to shreds unless you are the Doom Slayer himself."

Ouch... Well, there goes my dream about fighting alongside my favorite devil hunters or being able to have powers rivalling Mikoto Misaka.

"Well, Bang Dream universe it is."

"However, you can choose to have a weapon of any choice with you, as there will probably be some goons coming in from other universes to the Bang Dream universe."

"Wait, how so?"

"Well, you see, usually young gamers and anime lovers like you dies not so often, but the God of reality is apparently favoritisming right now, and throwing non-gamers and non-anime watchers towards here."

I were surprised to say at the very least, is our God really that harsh of them? Well, good that I came here then instead, Sothis is very welcoming of her, which I didn't expect considering how she is like with Byleth at times.

"Anyways, weapon was it... How about a replica of Blood Berry, the beam katana Travis Touchdown uses!"

"Mhm, you sure you don't want a replica of Nero's Red Queen?"

Oh, damn it, I forgot about the Red Queen! That one is cool with how you rev it and all...

But I get myself together again and shake my head, indicating that I'm fine with the Blood Berry.

"Alright, almost ready for you get transported!" Sothis says as she brings out a mirror. "In the meantime, your apperance is slowly changing so it matches that of the inhabitants in the Bang Dream universe, most notably, your eyes."

As she says that, I can see my eyes getting that unique pattern underneath the pupil that the band girls and other people in the Bang Dream universe has.

"Damn, some body horror shit right there, huh." I say while slowly seeing some of my features look more rounded or sharpened at places. "All out with me becoming an anime boy that will now live in the Bang Dream universe, this is really something."

Sothis soon goes on to hand me my weapon, the beam katana named Blood Berry.

"Oh and one itty bitty final thing, you will not remember anything of this having happened, or any previous knowledge about various worlds."

"Wait, what? So you mean I will get isekai'd, but have zero knowledge about Touko and the rest of Morfonica, and any of the bands in general over there..?"

"Yep, if you want to, I can implant new personalities, where you are being either a shy, obsessive or perverted fanboy of the bands-"

"Nonono, I'm in no way a super fanboy of the Bang Dream bands! Some of their music is gas though, but otherwise, nope."

I definitely don't want to become someone that gushes that much about the various bands, but... I do sure hope the new me will still fall in love with Touko.

"Do you want any new backstory to you? Like, a tragic one or nah?"

"Ah hell no, no tragic backstories! Those sucks nowadays, I rather just be how I am."

"So a delightful young man, got it~"

"Oh come on, what is with me that people find me being delightful, even my classmates used to tell me that!"

"You were a favorite, weren't you? Despite your lenght."

"H-hey, don't say that, I'm too self concious about my height, just being a guy around 161 cm isn't nice at all..."

"Want to be a little taller?"

I look at Sothis as she asks that, feeling somewhat more hopeful now.

"Wait for real? Can I like... be 165 cm instead?!"

"That's actually the tallest I can make you, so you made a great choice!"

Sothis snaps with her fingers, and I barely feel nothing, but I did seem a little taller now... I think.

"Alright, so to be clear: you want to be yourself, while fighting off those goons with your beam katana. Hmm..."

Sothis seemed to be having one final thought before looking at me.

"I know you love Touko, but if your new self begins part timing at CiRCLE, you have to anticipate that you might get into a harem."

"Eh, why?"

"Honest and delightful guys does get some attention of many, so you could be lucky and not only be together with Touko, but also Morfonica and the other bands as well possibly."

Oh my, I never thought it... that way...

The hell, no! I love Touko only, so I'll be happy just being with her!

At least current me... "rebooted" me, you better not screw this up or I will try my best to get back in your head and berate you..!

"Alright, I guess I'm ready enough now to be 'rebooted'." I tell Sothis as I holster the beam katana, and stand face to face with the Goddess.

"I'm sure you'll do just fine, oh and you will be living alone in an apartment, having just begun... second year!"

"What?! Second year?! I'm a college student for heaven's sake-!"

Aaand off I go... Welp, guess having an extra time in high school shouldn't hurt..?

While being transported in the wormhole, I can see my memories loosening from my head and flying in front of me before disappearing.

"Oh man, even my imaginations are here..."

Sothis would laugh at me for sure for imagining hugging and kissing Touko so much, and probably wanted to make me a pervert considering the other more mature thoughts I get about her.

"Gaaah, I can feel myself remembering less and less..."

And I really am starting to lose memories, while also feeling new ones coming.

I might... as well... close my eyes for a little while... they feel so heavy after all...

....

"Agh!"

I suddenly wake up, before looking around me and sighing.

"Bad nightmare, just a bad nightmare, phew... Though..."

To make sure I were alone, I took ahold of my beam katana laying on the bed desk and power it on to emit some light in the dark room.

"Nope, I'm alone. Too alone."

I sigh as I deactive the beam katana and lay it back on the desk before slumping onto the bed again.

Tomorrow I'm going to begin as a second year transfer student, so I better sleep well.

Perhaps getting a part time job shouldn't hurt as well, I did lose some money from getting the Blood Berry from that eBay auction, but I couldn't pass up on it!

It compacts neatly as well, so I can use it to fight anyone asking for trouble, as long as they are ready to most likely get cleaved in half or get decapitated, oops.

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone will react over a Swedish-Latino guy beginning at a high school, yet being able to fluently speak Japanese~

Stephan is now alive once again, at the cost of getting a brand new life and not remembering anything of his past self.

Follow him as he soon begins part timing at CiRCLE, like anyone, and meets the band girls while fighting off threats from other worlds.

To be continued :P

(Author's note: Yeah, so this is something I did, unironically. I always appreciate any feedback and such, but tbf, this isn't so neccessary as this story is quite non-serious of it, though conflicts and action does still happen.

See you guys around!

P.S I promise the coming chapters will be longer than this one)
