Arc 1: The Beginning - Chapter 1

(Unknown Forest)

In a windy night. All creatures of the day had gone to sleep and the creature of the night rises from their sleep. Eager to hunt down for their daily meals.

However, that's not where to focus on. No, what needed to be focused is me figuring out how did I die? As in literally stay dead for enough time for me to transfer to my world to this one or did someone, Cough* Ajimu Cough*, send me to another world.

How do I know I'm in another world, you may ask? Because I have seen multiple unbelievable giant animals around this forest the moment I opened my eyes. No way those giant animals would be in my world. Well, unless they were a fossil, but they are alive, not dead, then sure. Maybe I went back in time instead?!

Anyway, I was lost in the middle of nowhere in this forest and have already killed a bunch of giant animals, talk about a letdown. I thought they were stronger than the smaller version of animals I know due to their giant size.

"[Heh, look like I won't fulfill my childhood goal.]" I smirk at the silly thought that I could gain the Medaka's attention other than hatred, annoyance, disdain, and other negative aspects. "[You are one lucky guy, Zenkichi...]"

Looking down at the ground with a sad face for a few seconds of silence before a smile reappears on my face.

"[Oh, well! Maybe in this new world, I can become the main character! Or at least finally get the chance to beat the main character of this world!]" I shouted with excitement as I decided to try my best to forget about Medaka and everyone in my old world.

Look out new world, because Misogi Kumagawa is here!

A few hours later*

"[Okay, I may not be the main character after all. Pretty sure most main characters in those Weekly Shonen Jump have a better time in finding civilization or at least something alive.]" I glance at the giant lizard pierced to the ground by multiple giant screws.

Then continues walking after dismissing those giant screws.

"[Hmm, maybe I just need to keep moving and soon I would meet that special girl, that would fall for my charm and maybe I can get the special girl of mine to dressing in n.a.k.e.d aprons!]" I feel a new drive rising in me as I started running now, eager to find that special girl that most main characters would find whenever they are lost somewhere.

I put more focus in looking for the special girl than find some kind of signs to help me find civilization in this world, but no, I need to find the special girl as soon as possible before the main character of this world find her!

I mean, I, the main character, have to find my fated one!

I heard a female voice nearby, much to my delight and change direction to where I heard the female voice. With much more determination that I have over the years and push myself further than I thought I would.

Suddenly, I watch in disbelief as a s.e.xy woman that have long blue hair like Medaka; well, a lighter shade of blue. However, that only distracted me for a few seconds as I watch this s.e.xy woman literally killed a giant beast-IS THAT A DRAGON?!

I watch the s.e.xy woman killing the dragon of all things I have seen so far in this new world, with only a dagger! Holy shit! Is she the main character in this world?!

"Who's there?!" The s.e.xy female main character candidate shouted, causing me to blink my eyes and wonder if she was talking to me or someone else nearby.

Just as I was about to look around to find this fellow peeker and found the same dagger the s.e.xy woman used to kill a dragon, stabbing into my skull.

"[Why?!]" I cried out in shock, to find the main character that should start off with a few threats, then we would start off with a monologue until the next chapter where we start a small fight while we're still talking! This is the wrong scenario!

"Oh? You're still alive after having your head pierced?" The s.e.xy woman, who may not be a hero-type main character and maybe an anti-hero main character, walk up to me as I didn't fall to the ground like one of those cannon fodder when they get their heads shot or stabbed.

"[Of course, I'm alive! If I died who would be able to guide the main character through their story as their plot armor at the start?!]" I replied while pulling the dagger out of my head like nothing, as I took the role as those guide characters that leads the main character to their glory as the main character!

"I have no clue what you just said right now." The s.e.xy blue-haired lady said in a dull tone, "Now, who are you?"

"[I am Misogi Kumagawa, the greatest guide of all time! The one that's fated to meet you, to bring you to the top!]" I lied through my teeth like nothing as I decided to steal the role of helping the main character to become the greatest out of the common folks for myself to use.

"Heh." The s.e.xy blue-haired lady that is potential my lover as well, seeing how I have a better chance in a relationship with her once I gain enough love points in her life like those dating sim I played before snort at my remark.

"The name's Esdeath." Esdeath, the s.e.xy lady of my future wife to be, reveal her name to me. "So, you are my guide to take me to the top, huh?"

"[That's right! After all, won't someone that can't guide you would die so easily while standing beside you?]" I continue to bullshit my way into the main character's life of glory!

"Well, you got me there. You didn't die from an attack of mine." Esdeath said with amused. "By the way, mind giving back my dagger? I do need that if I want to skin this Danger Beast of its pelt and meat. I don't mind sharing the meat."

"[Here you go.]" I hand the dagger that should have killed me, but didn't because I'm too much a loser to die like a common loser.

Then, out of nowhere, I got my heart stabbed by the same dagger that stabbed my head before.

"Huh, you still didn't die. That's interesting." Esdeath said in awe as she pulls out the dagger out of me like she didn't just try to kill me a second time.

"[Of course, if I wasn't your guide. Then, I wouldn't be able to survive from having my head and heart stabbed.]" I said with pride, causing Esdeath to have a wry smile on her face.

"Right." Esdeath finds this very confusion that she met such a weird, but an interesting person, who looks to be unkillable. Something that... new to her.

"[So, why are you out here alone?]" I ask Esdeath, not caring that I should know why since I'm her guide and all.

"Hunting down some prey for me to eat." Esdeath replied as she started skinning the dragon and soon to eat its meat.

I find that maybe this main character is already stronger than the average main character, who already slay a dragon on her own! Talk about awesome!

"[I'm pretty sure most people would hunt something smaller to eat. Unless you have an army nearby to feed. Because I don't know about you, but eating all that should really upset your stomach.]" I wonder if I have found the main character that has a black hole for a stomach. Really hope I won't be the one that paid for her meals... and I just jinxed myself.

"Well, I'm not most people. In fact, I'm stronger than many people." Esdeath said with arrogance. "How about you, my so-called guide. Are you strong?" Esdeath looks at me with a hint of battle l.u.s.t.

"[Nope.]" I didn't hesitate at all, causing Esdeath to look at me with eyes of confusion, wondering if I was messing with her.

"Are you messing with me?" Esdeath narrow her eyes at me, "If you're not strong, then you can't be my so-called guide, let alone help me become the top."

I didn't say anything as I kept my smile on my face. Then, out of nowhere, multiple giant metal screws pierce down all over Esdeath's body.

I look with delight at the horror on sweet Esdeath's face. In fact, this made me feel like the time back when I ripped the face of the girl's face I crushed on. To see if it's just because I loved her only for her good looks.

But, as promised, to Medaka. I will try to 'reform' myself to 'save' people. As a way for myself to not feel 'guilty' for forgetting about Medaka along with the other extra characters.

I allow a darn grin to appear on my face for a split second before my friendly smile return. As I snap my fingers as the giant screws disappeared. Like Esdeath wasn't stabbed all over multiple time at once.

"[Sorry, if I can't be strong to guide you. But, with me being so weak and a loser. I can help you stop from becoming a loser or a failure in my opinion.]" I said truthfully. After all, who can teach others to be the strongest other than the loser, showing them what not to do that lead to becoming a loser and by the greatest loser of all time?

"Heh, oh no, you are no weak person." Esdeath replied, slowly standing back up and with the eyes of a predator. Esdeath slowly walks up to me, then grab me by the collar. "No. You're no loser either. No guide of mine will be called as such. If you're to help me become the top and stand by my side, then you need to become stronger as well. Strong will survive while the weak die."

Oh! So Esdeath's main character main aspect is the strongest of the fittest! This makes things much easier for me. After all, I know the right words to say towards this type of people.

"[I'll have you know, that being a loser is a good thing sometimes. After all, when there is a winner, then there is a loser.]" I continue to smile at Esdeath, who narrows her eyes further and lean close to me.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Is she going to kiss me?! Am I going to get my first kiss?! By the main character of all people?!

Esdeath snort, then release my collar, much to my disappointment, but I didn't let that show on my face.

"Anyway, why are you out here alone?" Esdeath ask me the same question I asked her a few minutes ago, as she walks back to the dragon and resumes skinning it.

"[Some great beings must have been bored and decided to take me from my world, to send me into this world. In order for me to find you! The main character and help raise to the top! Where you shall become the strongest and overcome all trials! Until you will have no one to match you in strength! Bringing tales throughout the world of how the Great Esdeath's journey to the top for generations!]" I pointed to the sky as I started out my amazing speech.

Esdeath blankly stares at me before turning her head back to the dragon without saying anything to my amazing speech just now.

I think she too much shock of my amazing speech that she is speechless! I must have made a big impact on her!

"By the way." Esdeath started talking again, "How are you still alive after getting stabbed in the head and heart? I know for a fact that either of those two would instantly kill people."

"[Because even death doesn't want a loser like me and kicks me out of the afterlife.]" I pat my c.h.e.s.t in pride, not to mention I may have become immortal to due to this... Oh, well!

"Wow... I have no words on how to describe what I'm feeling right now." Esdeath said in a dull tone, as she is just finishing skinning the dragon and has already started a campfire to cook the dragon's meat.

Holy cow! Esdeath skin the dragon of its hide in less than half an hour! Am I in a supernatural world?! Or is this only possible with Esdeath?! Because if so, then will my time with Esdeath be short without help improving herself?!

What about the plot?! What about the growth of a character Esdeath must build up as the main character or she going to be one of those types of character with a single 2-dimensional personality and only have power growth only.

"Hey, Misogi. Lunch is ready. Eat it while you can." Esdeath said to me, breaking me out of my trance of thoughts about what types of Esdeath's main character version would be.

"[Great! I'm starving!]" I said with glee. As I walk over to Esdeath as she handed me a lump of dragon meat on a stick. Something I would never expect to eat in my entire miserable life.

"So are you heading to the Empire as well, to join the army?" Esdeath asks me, as we enjoy our roasted dragon meat. "Because that's where I'm heading to improve myself. I heard the Empire would hand out these powerful relics created by the very first Emperor. I think they are called Teigu and there like 48 of them from what I heard. So don't expect us to get one so soon the moment we joined the army. I think the moment one reached the rank of General, or become a soldier under a General, will give us a chance of gaining a Teigu."

"[I think heading the Empire is where you get your plot armor, Esdeath. So, yes. I'll join the army with you.]" I nod my head towards Esdeath, who giggle a little as she finds what I'm saying is amusing.

Yes! A s.e.xy lady finds me funny and haven't attacked me, again! My chance of seeing her dressed in a n.a.k.e.d apron is getting higher! At this rate, I should see her wearing one in months!

"I don't know what a plot armor is, but if you're talking about an armor-type Teigu called a plot. Then, maybe." Esdeath shrugs her shoulders, "No clue if there such a Teigu go by that name. We'll have to just find out once we get there."

I take another bite out of my dragon meat, wondering if these Teigu are like those powerful weapons that only the main characters and the bad guys are allowed to use while ordinary folks are unable to use them.

"By the way, those giant metal screws that pierced my body. Was that an illusion or what? Because I'm pretty sure I felt like I was killed for a second there." Esdeath look at her so-called guide, something she wonders if there such a thing besides the normal one that just point directions or leads to a place.

"[Oh, I have the ability to manifest my own imagination. Mostly these screws.]" I explained without a care for my secret as I produce one of my giant metal screws and toss it to Esdeath to hold.

Esdeath easily caught it and is amazed to feel it so real. Furthermore, if what her guide said is true, then he has a special ability that makes one powerful, maybe on the same level as those with Teigu.

"Is that your Teigu? Able to manifest your imagination?" Esdeath asks with a hint of excitement and wonders if all Teigu is powerful as to create with just a thought.

"[Nope. I know someone back in my world that could do the same; well, one of them. Using one force of will to impose the image of immaterial objects onto those around them.]" I remember someone back in my world that could do the same? Or was I imagining it? Meh, must be an extra character, not worth remembering.

"Interesting." Esdeath rubs her chin with her free hand while continuing to hold the giant metal screw in her other hand, looking for any hint that could give her an idea to do the same. No way was she taking everything her guide said as complete truth. Maybe he is using a Teigu to create these screws? Either way, she will keep him around and see how the future takes place.

"[I know right? It took me some time to be able to create my screws. You have no idea how much effort it took me to produce one at first. Talk about how weak of me to take such a long time when people with better talent than I could do it in a matter of days, maybe even hours to do what I can do.]" I said in a false depressed voice.

"Right..." Esdeath replied without thinking about it much, but she got the feeling that her guide isn't speaking all the truth about how long it took him to create these giant screws.

"[So, do you know the way to the Empire?]" I ask Esdeath, who toss the giant screw back at me, which I just dismissed in midair, causing it to disappear instantly.

"It's only a day or two from where we are." Esdeath answered, then grab another stick with a lump of Danger Beast's meat to eat.

"[I see.]" I nod my head, thinking about if it possible for me to join the army with how weak I am. Eh, I will do something about when the time comes.

Author Note:

If no one realizes it yet with all the hints I just laid out. I will just say it just in case. This is before Akame ga Kill canon become, including before Akame ga Kill! Zero, the spin-off prequel of the Akame ga Kill.

Also, yes, this means Esdeath hasn't even joined the army of the Empire. This mean, she does not have her Teigu. I'm going to make this fanfic a bit more er background building.

As for which version of Misogi Kumagawa I picked. I'll let you readers guess. I've already laid out the hint for this one already.

On another note, I have no clue if I should give Misogi Kumagawa a Teigu or not. You readers can decide, if no one decided by the time where Esdeath become a general, no clue if becoming a general is a requirement in the army to gain a Teigu but I made it like that with a small chance for one to gain one while under the command of one like how the canon version of Esdeath having a group of three soldiers have their own Teigu, then I will decide if he gets a Teigu or not.

Another thing, since I have no clue on the timeline of Akame ga Kill. I'm going to wing it and see how it goes. So I'm not going to do the whole years' time skip at one point of the chapters in the future. I'm going to try my best to fill in those years as best I can.
