Gilgamesh in DxD Chapter 5

With "idiocy exceeding that of humans", he continued to try to overco death, tossing aside the pride, authority and power of the king, not knowing a purpose for doing it or soone to do it for.

His fear of death was one of the reasons for his actions, but he also loathed death because he couldn't forgive himself for abandoning his role of looking into the future.

He finally reached the realm of the dead and discovered, upon eting Utnapishtim, that his form of immortality was not at all special.

Utnapishtim gained longevity by joining the ranks of the gods, becoming a plant in the process.

Gilgash rejected such immortality because it had to be immortal with a human's desires still intact, rather than simply living eternally in a body without appetite.

He had simply planned to leave the Underworld and return to Uruk to complete his vault, but Utnapishtim, having been doubtful of having his mode of existence rejected or possibly wanting to condemn soone who had denied the immortality of the gods to the sa existence, told Gilgash a secret.

He told Gilgash a thod of becoming immortal without seeking the rcy of the gods, the root of an herb that grew in the depths.

Although he himself did not consu it, as it would beco just a plant, he collected it as a rare treasure to decorate his vault. Stopping in the depths, he shook the grass and ca back above ground.

Unable to put words to his mood at the ti, there was a part of him that was hopeful, even though he declared that there was no need for immortality modeled on the gods. He smiled with his realization as he returned to the surface, believing he could defeat death and avenge his friend.

With the ability to overco the "death" that had led to Enkidu, the voices and cheers of the people of Uruk would have reached an unprecedented level upon returning with immortality.

Describing himself as being in the 'recklessness of youth', vanity soon followed and he was troubled by his irregular state, which he had not spared a single thought until that ti.

He wanted to purify himself before returning to Uruk to test the fruits of his labor in perfect condition, so he rested the next spring to recover from the fatigue accumulated over decades of searching.

He experienced a certain feeling in that mont that he believed was his first real feeling of joy.

As the water healed him, he felt a tranquility as if releasing a lingering malaise in body and mind.

It was the first ti he was so ecstatic with any of his achievents because the act of gathering treasures is like an instinct like breathing that brings him no joy.

The act of obtaining immortality was the first ti he had given thanks for being born into the world, because, despite claiming to have the perspective of humans, he believed he was not human until that mont. He felt free of everything, no doubts, fears, fixations or duties.

Overwheld by the feeling of omnipotence, he describes feeling as elan vital, the reward of his own desire and the belief that he could do whatever he wanted with that joy for all eternity.

It was then that his carelessness caused her to be ripped from him, torn down by desires, the simple appetite of "hunger", of a snake that crawled in the jungle.

The snake on an empty stomach was attracted by the sll of grass, and though a panicked Gilgash erged from the spring, it was too late.

The snake gained the property of shedding, having been the restoration of youth rather than immortality, and all that was left was her shed skin. He was then struck by the laughter at the event, the absurdity of the conclusion on everything he hoped to win and everything he prided himself on being "nothing". He laughed at his own foolishness until his sides ached.

Although he was not unable to obtain anything, he understood that his only reward was that nothing would be left for him.

The satisfaction in life and joy he first gained instantly disappeared, making him realize that it was the nature of the human world.

Realizing that immortality was unnecessary to his duty, he was born a human at that ti and died a human after learning joy. Although he was "complete from birth", he also had his inexperienced tis.

Taking almost his entire life to complete his developnt, he reached physical maturity at the ti with Enkidu and ntal maturity at that ti, marking the end of his youth.

Having laughed at the theft, the sun had risen and smiling at the fleeting mont of human joy, he returned to Uruk.

Marking the end of his adventures, he ruled Uruk as the ruler of heroes and completed him. Later, he also returned to the depths to retrieve the herb once more, simply to complete his collection and, by chance, he would be in a situation he could only tolerate as a child.

Though still severe, he ruled Uruk in silence, entrusting him to the next king before going to eternal rest without telling the herb's whereabouts. He beca mankind's oldest hero and the illustrious king who was the first in this world to "beco a story".

*With MC after waking up.*

Truly the Greatest King in the World.

Soone who started well, got lost and later found himself.

I never in my life imagined seeing and experiencing this.

In my life before that I was soone common, a Brazilian nad Diogo, soone who had his own ups and downs, but nothing worthy of note.

To think that soone lived and experienced it all.

The world is really big.

Just like the one I live in now.

It's not a normal world anymore.

In this world there are gods and beings with the power to destroy it.

I must strengthen myself to prepare myself for this world.

After all I want to prevent a lot of things from happening.

In this world several beings are plotting for evil, things I want to avoid.

Like for example.

Has Rizevim already allied with the Vampires to free Trihexa?

Is Hades already planning the extermination of the users of [Longinus] and the leaders of each mythology?

Does Nyx already plan to use Ingvild Leviathan to control Great Red and Ophis?

There are several things to happen in this world that I want to avoid.

After all, the Goddesses brought here to change history.

And with my powers and my future adventures I will change the world.

After all, this is my New Life.
