Chapter 3 - First encounter in another world. Stat increase
He was on the other side of the door, exploring the surroundings, when he felt a suffocating sensation. His breathing stopped before starting again. Sweat covered his entire body, and for a moment, he was confused about what was happening. Frantically looking around, he realized what—or who—was responsible for his previous state.
At the entrance, which marked the boundary between the outside of the fence and the garden, a creature with the overwhelming aura of a warrior met his gaze. Its body was enormous, over two meters tall, and its skin was dark red, as if stained with blood. Its bulging biceps were thick, and its face resembled that of an oni, with two sharp tusks growing from its lower jaw.
Focusing, a translucent window with information about the monster appeared in front of his eyes.
[Blood Ogre]
[Race: Ogre]
[Occupation: Warrior]
[Level: 300]
[Magic: 100]
[Attack: 5000]
[Defense: 5000]
[Agility: 1000]
[Intelligence: 500]
[Luck: 100]
Looking at the monster's stats, his lips curled into a grimace as his body trembled.
He was only level one, yet here he was, facing a level 300 monster. Wasn't this like asking to be killed?
The ogre began to strike the invisible wall separating it from the property at a terrifying speed, letting out thunderous roars. On his side, Motohama felt relieved that the effect of his domain was still active.
Both were in a position where neither could harm the other, no matter how much they wanted to. Somehow, it didn't seem like there was a problem if he just decided to ignore it.
The moment he relaxed a bit, the Blood Ogre also stopped attacking and reached a nearby tree. After easily uprooting it, the monster threw it at the house.
Motohama panicked. Even if living creatures couldn't enter, did that apply to other things? He was absolutely terrified of the Blood Ogre's assault, but the house's defensive performance exceeded his expectations, and even the tree it threw bounced off.
It really can't do anything against this house.
Both direct and indirect attacks were blocked. In any case, he understood that the Blood Ogre was not a threat as long as he stayed inside, but it still didn't give up and resumed its attacks.
"Even if I know it can't affect me, this isn't very good for my mental health."
Thinking about something he could do, an idea suddenly came to him.
"Can my attacks from inside the property leave the property?"
While all external attacks seemed to be prevented, what would happen if something attacked from the inside out? To answer that question, he took out the [Absolute Spear] from the [Item Box].
The [Absolute Spear] was heavy, and it seemed impossible to throw it at the Blood Ogre, but this spear could lock onto its target, and if the target was locked, even if he only moved his hand by a few millimeters, it would surely fly towards that target and return to his hand automatically.
He had confirmed this many times when he tested all the other weapons.
"Should I throw it?"
He couldn't help but get excited. Looking at it from another perspective, wasn't this an opportunity to level up? The creature, although abominable, was a walking mass of experience.
Making his decision, he firmly gripped the spear. The [Absolute Spear] was a weapon designed specifically to pierce through enemies, with no precious decorations. However, it was very easy to use, and even someone as inexperienced as him could hold it well.
The Blood Ogre seemed to be on alert, possibly due to sensing the intimidating air released by the [Absolute Spear]. Although he threw it with all his strength, it was too heavy to go more than a few centimeters, a terrible throw. The monster immediately understood what was happening and got into a defensive stance.
However, as if to say that its power was unnecessary, the spear reached the Blood Ogre in another instant and pierced its entire body without losing speed.
Letting out its last breath, the Blood Ogre fell with a huge hole in its chest, its eyes still open, as if it couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
"I... did it..."
Honestly, saying that now could raise another flag, but there was no need to worry. The Blood Ogre's body dissolved into particles of light and disappeared on the spot. Its legs turned to jelly, and he found himself sitting on the ground again.
For some reason, he started laughing hesitantly. The feeling of being alive and the realization that he had killed a living being mixed together, and all he could do was smile. However, even though he had killed something, he wasn't as surprised as he had expected.
It was probably a good thing he didn't feel it. He stood in place for a while, but eventually noticed a pile of items had fallen to the ground where the Blood Ogre had died.
He wanted to move to look at them, but his legs still didn't have strength. It was pathetic.
It was then that a message suddenly appeared in front of him.
[You have leveled up.]
A smile adorned his face. Everything had gone perfectly.
"These weapons are incredible..."
To think he had so many high-level weapons under his control. It would be terrifying the moment he could use them all.
Putting his thoughts aside, he checked his status screen.

Seeing the numbers displayed, Motohama's smile widened.
"So much power so suddenly. It was like jumping from zero to a hundred in just a few seconds. It's intoxicating."
At that moment, Motohama's cheek puffed up as he turned red. He had slapped himself.
"You shouldn't let yourself be intoxicated by power. You were struck down for being too confident before. Don't make the same mistake."
With a serious look, he dismissed the screen. Standing up, he walked to where the Blood Ogre's body had been. There were several items scattered on the ground.
"What is this?"
The items he found included a palm-sized jewel of a mysterious color and a splendid fang, similar to the one that had emerged from the Blood Ogre's mouth. There was also a dark red, sinister-looking armor.
"Well, for now, let's take these..."
Since the monster had died near the door, he was able to collect them quickly. There weren't even that many items, but they had a... indescribable aura? Were they intimidating? Either way, even an amateur like him could tell these were incredible items. However, he wouldn't learn anything just by looking at them, so he activated the [Evaluation] skill. He was already starting to activate it as if it were second nature.
[Great Demon Fang of the Bloody War: Fangs of the Blood Ogre. Its fangs are not particularly massive, but when combined with the Blood Ogre's bite strength, they can easily pierce the skin of any prey. If processed, it could become a resistant and sharp weapon.]
[Magic Stone - Rank B: A special mineral that can be obtained from magical beasts. The ranks are, in ascending order: F, E, D, C, B, A, S. The higher the rank, the more expensive the stone.]
[Blood War Demon Body Armor: A drop from the Blood Ogre, made from its strong skin and muscle fibers. This armor cannot be scratched by typical attacks. It modifies the user's attack power.]
[Blood War Demon Gauntlet: A drop from the Blood Ogre, made from its strong skin and muscle fibers. This gauntlet cannot be damaged by normal attacks. It modifies the user's attack power.]
[Blood War Demon Waist Armor: A drop from the Blood Ogre, made from its strong skin and muscle fibers. This armor cannot be damaged by normal attacks. It modifies the user's agility.]
[Blood War Demon Leg Armor: A drop from the Blood Ogre, made from its strong skin and muscle fibers. This leg armor cannot be damaged by normal attacks. It modifies the user's agility.]
The items were overwhelmingly fantastic. Magic stones and fangs... He couldn't wait to use them. Facing the factions would be a piece of cake.
Fallen angels.
Wandering demons...
The church...
None would be a threat against his newly acquired powers.
The bulletproof vest, which took the shape of the Blood Ogre's abdominal muscles, and in general, the gauntlet, was somewhat spiky. The waist armor looked as sharp as the body armor and the gauntlet, and a red cape was attached. Even the leg armor was great, with the sense that its design was tailored to fit the user's legs.
"I can't wait to use these things. But first, I need to assign the BP or I doubt I can lift any of these items."
With that in mind, he decided to proceed and distribute the BP this time.
"Hmm... I don't know any spells, so magic isn't a priority, and I'd like to increase my attack power anyway."
Originally, he liked physical combat styles in games, so he just increased his attack power. He wouldn't neglect magic. The DxD world is one where magic is primarily relied on, so he needed to have a good reserve of magic power, but his body was a priority for now.
"But... even luck..."
Originally, unlike physical strength, luck wouldn't increase no matter how much you tried, but now, it was increasing at the same rate as everything else when he leveled up. When he thought about it, he was eager to assign even more points to luck.
He remembered a certain adventurer whose only redeeming feature was his incredible luck, as his party was completely useless.
"This is so exciting..."
He couldn't stop thinking about what the future would hold from this point forward. The heights he would reach. The hearts he would claim. The faces of the Demon Kings when they faced him.
After all, when his memories awakened, Issei had not yet been reincarnated as a noble demon of Rias.
Leaving his fantasies aside, he observed his satisfied status.

He tried to improve the balance by increasing attack, defense, and agility.
"... Nothing happened, huh?"
After all, the screen was like in a game, so I didn't think it would affect my body, right?
"Well, yeah... anyway, I'm tired. Since so much happened today, let's go home..."
With renewed joy, he passed through the [Door to Another World].
Suddenly, a message appeared before him.
[The items can be converted into money. Would you like to exchange the [Great Demon Fang of the Bloody War] [Magic Stone: Rank B] [Blood War Demon Armor] [Blood War Demon Gauntlet] [Blood War Demon Waist Armor] [Blood War Demon Leg Armor]?]
"Ah... I had forgotten. The money conversion."
He stored the items he thought would be useful and used [Money Conversion] on the rest.
[Great Demon Fang of the Bloody War] was exchanged for 500,000 yen.
[Magic Stone: Rank B] was exchanged for 1,000,000 yen.
"Huuuh?"
He let out a stupid sound reflexively. Paper bundles fell from an empty space, as if delivering the final blow. He didn't understand what was happening. When he looked closely, they were stacks of 10,000 yen bills. He silently picked them up in astonishment and confirmed that the total was indeed the 1.5 million yen shown in the message.
He used all the methods he knew to see if the money was fake, but it was absolutely genuine. Instinctively, he used the [Evaluation] skill to examine it.
[[1.5 million yen]: Obtained by exchanging items from another world. Genuine ¥10,000 bills created by manipulating information on Earth, such as serial numbers, to avoid disturbing the global economy.]
He was so confused.
What did manipulating information on Earth mean!?
He knew it was genuine. But... he didn't know how much he could trust [Evaluation], but if the evaluation's content was true, he had just gained 1.5 million yen.
He may have been vague up until now, but he could only think that it had told the truth until now. In the first place, this door seemed to be something that even God didn't know much about, and it wouldn't be strange if it could manipulate information on Earth. His brain was fried from all the new information coming in, and he could barely think anymore.
But...
"Y-yes... it's really 1.5 million yen... Doesn't that mean I could get rich?"
Well, considering how tough his life had been up until now, he was extremely grateful for it. If an immediate benefit could be gained, he'd easily take it.

Therefore...
"I'll accept it."
But he couldn't just put it in the bank, so he threw it into the [Item Box] along with all the armor.
