Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Gilgamesh (1)

"Ugh..."

When I woke up I feel a strong force gripping me in different parts of my body. I opened my eyes and saw beasts and monsters gnawing on my arms, legs and torso.

I don't know what's going on but I think these monsters can't pierce through my body, or King Arthur's body, because of it's naturally high endurance, add to that the armor and fabric I'm wearing that are magically enchanted and woven that gives it high durability.

Well, good thing they didn't target my head first or else I wouldn't be able to see.

I shook my right arm and threw away what seems to be a boar but with larger tusk and red eyes. After throwing it away I used my right arm to grab whatever is biting me on my left arm and threw it away as well.

Now that my arms are free I used it to propel myself from the ground up in my feet before shaking away the rest of the monsters that were biting on me.

Phew, I sighed.

I looked around a saw a large variety of monsters looking at me with a mixture of wariness and hunger. I got irritated at first because of the sudden problem but an idea came to mind.

'Can't I use this chance to get used in this body?'

So that I did, I pulled out Excalibur and pointed it towards the monster horde, "I'm sorry but you're gonna be my training dummy today, or not because you're just a monster."

I used Mana Burst at it's lowest output and charged towards a dog monster walking on it's hind legs and wielding a wooden club, it appears to be a kobold with it's pack.

I covered the distance between me and them in less than a second and swung Excalibur horizontally, and as expected Excalibur sliced through it's torso without much resistance.

I breathed a few sighs because this is my first time killing a living being but thankfully, King Arthur's mental capacity affects me to an extent so I didn't vomit.

After that, I repeatedly killed the rest of the monsters and managed to familiarize myself with Arthur's abilities and swordsmanship.

————

My clothes and armor are full of blood after killing off all the monsters but strangely enough, my skin doesn't have any signs of blood on it.

I ran to the location of the lake that was mention last time and started to take off my armor and clothes.

I took off the remaining fabric of cloth on my body and entered the lake. I soaked my body up to my neck and feel the temperature of the water, I don't know if it can be called cold but the water's temperature is just right for me.

After a few minutes of soaking I stood up and rinse my body with water before staring at my reflection on the water.

King Arthur really is a handsome king, but as I was staring at my reflection I remembered that I was Gilgamesh when I first arrived in this world.

So I say the magic words, even though I am reluctant, "I want to be Gilgamesh."

My body started to morph and after a few seconds, my body is not that of Gilgamesh.

Even though I somewhat hate Gilgamesh I have to admit that he is really good-looking, but wait, since I'm Gilgamesh now aren't I the one who is good-looking?

My hate for Gilgamesh deceased by a lot but it's still there, I am grateful for you for being handsome, Gilgamesh.

Well right now I think monsters wouldn't come here, I have no idea how I can tell but I know, so for the time being why not test Gilgamesh's abilities just like I did with Arthur's.

First off, Gilgamesh's favorite way of attacking, Gate of Babylon. Though I don't know how to activate it, maybe I need to visualize it or have a trigger image just like Archer Shirou.

Hmm. Maybe a rocket propeller but instead make it faster?

As soon as I imagined a rocket shooting out of a launcher, a golden portal opened in front of me and fired a rather ordinary looking sword but still is more ornamental than most. Probably because Gilgamesh doesn't like 'trash' items plaguing his precious treasury.

While thinking for a moment I noticed that the sword began to turn into golden particles until it disappeared.

Right, in the anime there has never been a trace of Gilgamesh's prized weapons scattered around the battlefield. Some say that they return to his treasury after a while, I think that's what just happened.

Trying to test my theory(not) I imagined looking into a bunch of stuff and trying to identify them and next thing I knew I was inside a golden world with numerous weapons, armors and defensive equipments, accessories, clothes, ornaments and furnitures scattered around, it's. like looking at a child's room with piled up toys and clothes but better quality.

I think of arranging them by sorting them like those is warehouses and voila, the items moved by themselves and cabinets exactly like those in warehouses appeared out of nowhere and the items sorted themselves in a neat fashion.

I noticed that in a corner(?) there are still something piled up and walked over. What I saw surprised me because I'm currently looking at a pile of gold coins, silver coins, all kinds of coins as well as ingots and ores of metals I don't know about. Behind this pile is a bunch of plants, flowers and herbs together with animal parts like hides, teeth, horns, tails, eyes and there are even eggs of unknown origins in here.

(A/N: I put (?) because it's a whole dimension, there aren't supposed to be any corners there but I still used it as a reference)

Now I know why this items didn't arrange themselves, well let's put them in a chest or racks. Soon enough chests and racks appeared and the items arranged themselves accordingly. Only now that I realize that there are a lot more gold and others here than I expected.

Gilgamesh sure is wealthy.

Anyway enough of that, right now I need to make sure of something. I walked over to a random shelf of weapons and picked a unique looking steel sword and remembered it's appearance before exiting the treasury.

I opened my eyes and saw blue, only blue. I stand up and water immediately cleared up my head as I noticed that I was underwater but still breathing, must be Gilgamesh's physique.

Anyway, I tried remembering the unique steel sword I saw and imagined another golden portal shooting that exact same sword and as soon as I did a portal appeared and the sword shot out, it was the same unique steel sword I saw.

I came back to the treasury in a hurry, without noticing that I did it just by thinking, it and tried searching for the unique steel sword but couldn't find it, moments later I saw the unique steel sword appear in the same shelf I found it.

Haha, looks like I have more experimenting to do than I thought.
