Transmigration, Starting with Gilgamesh!

Looking at the Japanese-style architecture filling his surroundings, a look of bewilderment appeared on Gil's face as he muttered, "Where... is this?"

"Where else would it be? Obviously, it's Inuzuri."

A devil-may-care voice rang out beside Gil's ear.

"Inuzuri? What is Inuzuri?"

Gil was even more confused, turning his head toward the source of the sound.

At that sight, Gil couldn't help but freeze, an expression of disbelief crossing his eyes.

Because Gil had actually seen a living Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki!

No, to be more precise, it should be them as children.

Oh, right, at this point in time, Rukia Kuchiki shouldn't have been granted the Kuchiki family name yet; she should just be called Rukia.

Wait, if that's the case, then doesn't this mean...

Rukia reached out to pull back Renji Abarai, who was about to speak again, and said, "He's clearly a newcomer who just arrived in Soul Society. Of course he wouldn't know if you put it like that."

As she spoke, Rukia smiled at Gil. "This is the 78th District of South Rukongai in Soul Society, and its name is Inuzuri."

"You can also think of it as a place like heaven or paradise."

Upon hearing words like 'heaven' or 'paradise,' a sneer appeared on Renji Abarai's face as he retorted, "This isn't heaven or paradise; this is the lawless Inuzuri."

Immediately after, a look of longing appeared on Renji Abarai's face as he continued, "If there really is such a thing as heaven or paradise, then it must be that place."

Renji Abarai said this while casting his gaze toward a certain direction.

Gil followed his gaze.

Although he couldn't see the place Renji Abarai was yearning for, Gil knew that the place he was referring to must be the Seireitei.

Rukia looked somewhat helpless.

Although what Renji Abarai said was the truth, telling a newcomer so bluntly was far too cruel.

Gil finally snapped back to reality, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face as he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is Soul Society? Doesn't that mean I'm already dead?"

Renji Abarai found this inexplicable and couldn't help but reply, "Of course you're dead; you're a soul now. Humans cannot come to Soul Society."

Gil truly hadn't expected that he would transmigrate into the world of Bleach, and that he would start off dead, arriving directly in Soul Society.

Having been well-versed in the plot of Bleach, Gil knew very well that this Soul Society was no good place.

Especially for souls in Rukongai, the chaotic law and order was only the most superficial danger.

Deeper dangers included Sosuke Aizen, Hollows, the nobility, the Wandenreich, and even the Shinigami themselves.

In a place like this, no one knew how many souls died every day; wanting to live a healthy and peaceful life really depended on luck.

Seeing the ugly look on Gil's face, Rukia couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "It's okay, death is actually a new beginning. Look, aren't we living just fine?"

Rukia's comfort brought a smile to Gil's face.

Renji Abarai felt a bit jealous at this point. "Rukia, why are you being so nice to this blond kid? Don't tell me you've taken a liking to him?"

Rukia's face turned red with embarrassment instantly, and just as she was about to say something, Renji Abarai didn't give her the chance, continuing, "Though, this blond kid really is good-looking, even I'm a little..."

This was completely a subconscious remark from Renji Abarai.

Before he could finish, he realized what he had said and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.

Rukia looked at Renji Abarai with ill intent, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Even you are a little what? Don't tell me you're interested?"

"Renji, we've known each other for so long, and this is the first time I've learned your sexual orientation is so unique."

Renji Abarai shouted in a fit of shame and anger, "That's not it! My sexual orientation is perfectly normal, I wouldn't be interested in a boy!"

Gil moved slightly away from Renji Abarai.

Just a moment ago, Gil had also felt a chill.

Ignoring the two bickering, Gil began to call out for his golden finger.

Logically speaking, every transmigrator had their own golden finger; there was no reason he wouldn't.

'System? Little System? Portable Grandpa? Data Panel? I want to allocate points...'

After trying a whole circle, a text box that only Gil could see suddenly appeared before him.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully merging with the Young Gilgamesh template.]

[King's Path System has been activated. Please, Host, strive to become the King of this world.]

Looking at the text box before him, Gil was stunned.

In fact, before he transmigrated, Gil had been playing a newly released game about the path of kings and hegemony.

The core gameplay of this game was a dimensional brawl.

Players would start by drawing a random template of a young kingly figure.

The one Gil had drawn was the S-rank growth potential Young Gilgamesh template.

It was truly fate; Gil's name happened to be the Gil from Gilgamesh.

S-rank was not the highest tier; above it lay SS, SSS, and EX.

Gil remembered someone drawing the infant Desolate Heavenly Emperor template and the Dragon Ball Omni-King template, both with EX-rank growth potential.

Gil was content; character templates with S-rank growth potential were already extremely rare.

It was just as Gil was preparing to make his mark in the game that he transmigrated into the world of Bleach.

Gil truly had not expected that the character template he had drawn in the game would actually follow him here.

Since that was the case, his name from this day forward would be Gilgamesh.

As for the King's Path System...

Gilgamesh looked into it and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

The growth ceiling for the Young Gil template was only S-rank, but if he possessed the King's Path System, his growth ceiling would not stop at S-rank and could even potentially surpass EX-rank.

The capabilities of the King's Path System were simple and brutal: stat allocation and exchange.

The prerequisite was the need for King's Path Points.

And King's Path Points were determined by the number of subjects Gilgamesh possessed.

Every time Gilgamesh subjugated an ordinary subject, he would gain one King's Path Point.

If Gilgamesh subjugated a plot-relevant character as a subject, the number of King's Path Points gained would vary based on the importance of that character.

In short, the more important the plot character, the more King's Path Points would be gained.

As long as he obtained King's Path Points, Gilgamesh could use them to allocate points to his own attributes such as strength, speed, stamina, and defense.

As for the exchange.

Gilgamesh had just taken a glance at the exchange shop.

He discovered that the exchange shop was filled with a dazzling array of items, basically containing everything from the world of Bleach.

There were even Zanpakuto, the Hogyoku, and fragments of the Soul King's body.

Not only that, but there were also numerous infant-stage King's Path character templates available for exchange.

For example, the infant Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the infant Primordial Di Jun, the infant Omni-King, and so on.

However, at his current stage, Gilgamesh could only exchange for items from the world of Bleach.

Although other items existed, they were all in a gray, inactive, and unexchangeable state.

Once Gilgamesh traveled to the corresponding worlds, he would be able to activate them.

That was right; Gilgamesh was capable of world-hopping.

Within the exchange shop, Gilgamesh saw an item named 'World Travel'.

As the name implied, as long as he exchanged for it, Gilgamesh could perform world travel and proceed to other worlds.

But there was a prerequisite for this exchange: Gilgamesh had to first become the King of the world of Bleach!
