In a forest somewhere in Japan, a portal opens, and out of it walks a handsome man followed by 9 stunning women.

"We have arrived," Akio spoke aloud to the girls who were looking around curiously. 

"Now that we have arrived, you guys can just rest in Arcadio, as for me I have something to do," Akio spoke again to which the girls agreed. 

They sensed the seriousness in his voice and didn't complain. 

When they all left he breathed a sigh of relief before he put on a serious face. 

Akio could feel someone similar to himself and he was 95% sure he knew who it was. 

With another sigh, Akio removed Ava's protection from himself. The point of coming to this world was to help him improve more than he could in a weaker one. 

He needed to strengthen his soul on his own, which meant leaving it exposed. He knew the consequences as the being he currently felt would feel him as soon as he stopped using the soul protection. This is the reason why he sent his wives back to Arcadio. 

As it seems Akio's judgment was correct. 

Almost instantly, Akio felt a rip in space as a small girl walked out of it with a blank look on her face. The small girl had long straight hair that reached down to her hips. She has pitch-black eyes and slitted pupils. Her ears are pointed and her stature was that of a child. She wore gothic lolita fashion with her chest exposed. The only thing to cover her nipples were pieces of black tape that formed an X. 

Seeing the little girl Akio was put on his guard. He knew who this girl was and he could feel that she was stronger than himself. 

The girl did nothing but walk up to him before slowly speaking. 

"You're strong help me beat baka re-," The girl stopped speaking and her eyes turned wide.

Akio knew this and knew he had been seen through, now the only question was how would she react. 

"You are like me... how?" The girl spoke with bewilderment. To her knowledge, there existed no other like her, that was until today.

"If I'm not wrong your Ophis correct, as for me being an Infinite Dragon God, that is correct. Although the reasoning behind it is a little confidential." Akio spoke with a calm tone while staring into the eyes of the girl who is now identified to be Ophis. 

He could feel what she was feeling, he felt drawn to the girl the way a human would be drawn to another human in a world where the only monkey's lived. 

Ophis stared back at him, all her previous reasons for seeking the boy gone with the wind. After a while, she spoke again, "Fight me." 

Hearing those words come out of the little girl's mouth Akio was confused at the suddenness of her request. He was confused as to why the girl would want to fight all of a sudden, still, he wouldn't deny her challenge. He came here to fight strong opponents and gain strength. That is exactly what he would do. "Sure."

Ophis wasn't sure why she challenged the man. Perhaps it was because she wanted to make sure what she saw was correct. Despite not being sure she still grabbed onto him before she teleported both of them to the dimensional gap.

.

.

They arrived in a place that could easily be said to be inhabitable. All around all Akio could see was an infinite void with a mix of iridescent colors. 

Akio tried to not pay too much attention as he backed away a couple of meters from Ophis. 

The silence lasted for a couple of seconds before Ophis finally made a move. She disappeared from Akio's sight, and almost instantly he was blown back miles from where he was. 

'I couldn't even see her.' 

Akio looked down to his stomach and saw a large hole in it. As soon as he saw it however it instantly repaired itself. Akio had used evolution magic before the fight started to dull his sensitivity, and yet the punch still hurt like hell.

Gritting his teeth Akio flew back full speed to his original position before he with a quick burst flew straight towards her and repaid the punch her gave her.

Ophis just stood there and took it as a similar-sized hole to the one she inflicted on him appeared own body. She was also blown back yet her expression remained the same although a small bit of shock was made clear by her slightly agape mouth. 

'Why doesn't she dodge?' 

Akio seeing the already regenerating Ophis quickly teleported behind her before again throwing a punch at her back.

This time however the girl did dodge albeit sloppily. Akio could see Ophis had no real experience in close combat and probably used just raw power to obliterate her enemies. 

Still, she had a seemingly instantaneous reaction speed as she threw a kick at Akio that completely tore off his left leg. 

With a small grunt of pain, Akio flew back a couple of meters before activating his thought acceleration. With his current mastery over time, he could slow the time around him to about 1/100,000. 

Akio saw the already still Ophis remain still. He knew that she could probably still move fast even in his extremely fast perception. 

Still, Akio decided to test this as he moved with another burst of speed towards Ophis. With his enhanced perception he would be able to see things beyond his normal perception easier. 

Akio sent a slightly stronger punch toward Ophis and he could see her already moving away from it. Akio while observing this changed the trajectory of his punch to where he thought she would end up. 

His plan went as he wished as his fist was now only a centimeter away from her face. 

With Akio thinking he succeeded he was pushed back into reality when Ophis yet again disappeared and he felt pain where his left arm should be. 

'How?!' 

Akio yet again teleported a couple of meters away while asking that question. 

It then came to him.

Ophis was born as an Infinite Dragon God who knows how long ago. She was born with the concept of infinity as well as the divinity related to it. She had more than enough time to master it to perfection. 

That meant she was essentially the incarnation of infinity. That meant infinite strength, speed, magic, etc. 

Akio wouldn't be able to beat her with his incomplete mastery, especially when his current mastery didn't even make him truly infinite. 

With that thought, Akio realized he would need to use his other abilities to even put up a decent fight. 

Taking advantage of the fact that Ophis seemed to not actively attack anymore Akio took time to think back to strategies he had formed in his free time. 

When he was done he let out a breath as he got himself motivated for his next strike. At the same speed as last time Akio burst forward and threw another punch aimed at the arm of the girl. 

As expected Ophis dodged the attack and just as before appeared behind him and aimed a punch at his left arm.

This time however the moment her fist touched his arm it seemingly disappeared. 

She looked in confusion as it didn't feel like she was damaged in any way. She was broken from her confusion however as she felt a kick land on her waist.

Ophis was sent away for the second time since the match began. 

What Akio had done was he used his concept of time to look a second into the future. He then calculated the exact moment she would make contact with his body and at that moment used metamorphosis magic to make her arm microscopic. 

He still was injured badly as the force of her attack wasn't nullified and he was still damaged. Still, it wasn't as bad as he was able to remain where he was. 

Ophis's confusion turned into shock as she stared at her arm. With her insane vision, she could see that it had shrunk. She realized he was able to simply modify her body as he wished with just a simple touch. With this realization, even more, questions came to her mind as her curiosity peaked. 

She decided to increase the difficulty. 

Almost instantly she appeared in front of Akio. He saw the attack while looking into the future however he was still unable to dodge it. He was blown backward, yet he found Ophis flying with him while repeatedly throwing punches at him while his flight path repeatedly changed. Seeing no other option Akio used his time concept again to see the time and looked at where her next strike would land. 

He then used his metamorphosis magic to make a hole in his body the same size as her fist and allowed it to pass through. 

During that time her fist was stuck in his body he used his spirit magic to temporarily fade the consciousness of Ophis making her actions stop and her eyes go blank. 

Using the millisecond he had before she regained that lost consciousness he teleported behind her and threw the hardest punch he could at the girl. 

It did nothing however as Akio could see the black mana covering her as a defensive barrier. 

He tried to back away from her before she could counter-attack but alas a foot was lodged into his jaw and he flew straight up. 

In his fast perception, he found himself moving slowly as if he was drifting. He found himself having a moment of clarity as he felt the familiar sensation. 

'This kind of reminds me of-!!!.' 

At that moment Akio came to remember why this place felt so nostalgic. It was kind of similar to the void he spent all those years in. 

Akio also started to notice another familiar sensation. It was as if something was flowing into his body, and he knew exactly what it was.

Akio a while ago asked why his mastery over the concept of void was so high from the start. He wasn't given an answer, but he figured he could answer that question himself. 

He realized that all that time spent alone in that obviously would have done something. 

Even after realizing it, he still instead focused on his abilities. Perhaps he simply thought that it was high enough and he should instead work to improve what he was weaker with. Or perhaps he didn't want to use a power that so often would remind him of his past suffering. 

.

.

.

Akio wasn't sure but he felt he should start to focus on it more.

This was heightened by the instinctual knowledge of what he could do. 

---

Ophis after snapping out of her daze launched another attack on Akio. She was done holding back, she wanted to see what else this strange man could do. 

This was the first time she had ever felt this way. She felt overwhelming curiosity, interest, excitement, and even lust. Most of these emotions were completely foreign to her yet she could recognize most of them, except the last one. 

Unconsciously her usually expressionless face morphed into one that showed what she was feeling and a smile appeared on her face.

'This is fun.' 

That was her last thought before her fist landed on Akio's chest. 

Her eyes opened wide when she found her first bounce harmlessly off. She swung her leg despite the strange occurrence and this time it landed and sent Akio back again.

Despite the pain, Akio was grinning hard. 

With his use of the concept of void, he was able to void most of the momentum from Ophis's punch. 

This was one of the abilities Akio learned to do when he started using the concept. 

He could nullify anything he so chose, whether it be natural laws or even concepts. 

Still, even with instant mastery, it was hard to control and he realized he would need more practice. 

With those thoughts, Akio with a smile on his face prepared to rush toward Ophis yet again. 

Suddenly, however, before he could even move he felt a presence approaching the two. 

Ophis seemingly sensed the same as she also turned her head to the presence, although a small frown could be seen on her lips showing her annoyance. 

"Baka Red get out of my home," Ophis spoke to the presence that was now revealed to be a giant western red dragon. 

The giant dragon ignored her words however as she instead turned her golden eyes to Akio.

"You-you are not from this world. Who are you?" Great red spoke to Akio with curiosity in her voice. 

"Before I answer may I know how you know that?" Akio was a little curious about how he was found out, he also didn't have any inhibitions about telling his origins as there was no reason to hide it. 

"If another 'Dragon God' was to be born I would have felt it. Also, your mana although basically the same, still has a different origin from any place in this world." Great red spoke with confidence as if she had seen through everything. 

"Well you've got me, yes I am indeed from a different world." Akio easily admitted with an impressed voice. 

"Hmph, naturally." Great red spoke before smoke appeared around her body. 

When it disappeared a woman appeared before descending to the same level as Akio and Ophis.

The woman had dark red hair and golden eyes with slitted pupils. Her body was well endowed, especially in the chest department. She wore a black sports bra that showed her toned stomach, as well as black jeans and sneakers. Lastly, she wore a red coat on her shoulders, the way admirals in one piece wore their marine coats. On the back of the coat was the kanji for great red written in golden coloring. Overall she was an extremely beautiful woman with a delinquent style. 

Akio couldn't help but admire her looks, something neither Great Red, nor Ophis missed. 

Great Red instead of being offended perked out her chest more giving Akio a clear view of her assets. 

She could not lie, even if he was from a different world his status as a 'Dragon God' combined with his immense strength made her take interest in him. She as a dragon had a standard when it came to choosing a mate, that standard had yet to be met, that was until she met him.

Ophis on the other hand pouted a little seeing how Akio's attention was drawn to Great Red. 

Akio chuckled at both their reactions as he pulled out a large chunk of wood before using creation magic and making a platform. He also made a few cushions to sit on and a table in the middle. Lastly, he put a few snacks on the table as well as some tea before he asked the two to sit down. 

"Ah, right what's your name?" Akio asked this question to Great Red, he knew what she was called but wanted to know if she had an actual name. 

"Hmm, you can call me by the name I go by when I go explore the human realm, Akane." Akane sat in thought for a while before speaking, it wasn't often she was called something besides Great Red.

"Great Akane, well I guess I should answer your question, and by the way my name is Akio." 

Akio told the girls of his journey to reach the strength of Ava. 

Hearing that there existed someone that was actually that strong the girls were a little shocked although it soon ended. 

"Well I can't say I'm surprised, I'm not arrogant enough to believe there aren't others out there way stronger than us," Akane spoke while sipping on her tea. 

Ophis was also of the same thought as she continued to eat. She had just finished the 27th pack of cookies Akio gave her. 

"More." Within seconds she finished another pack before holding out her hands in front of Akio.

Akio chuckled at the bottomless pit that is Ophis as he brought around 100 more packs out of his inventory and giving them to Ophis while also patting her head. 

"Well, that's about it, any questions," Akio asked the two.

"Hmm, can I meet Ava?" Akane asked blatantly to which instead of receiving an answer from Akio a voice instead rang in her head.

(I'll allow you to visit me later tonight.) 

The voice made her visibly jump. She was not used to her mind being invaded. 

"Well, at least I know you're not lying," Akane spoke before cleaning the tea she had spilled. 

Akio only chuckled as he too also heard Ava's words.

*Sigh*

"Well, this was fun but I'm sure my wives are worried so I will return home. You two are welcome if you want to come if you'd like." Akio offered the two girls.

Instead of replying Ophis just stood up and walked to Akio, showing her desire to follow him. She could care less about anything related to Khaos Brigade at the moment as she truly only used that group to get rid of her boredom. She did want her home back to herself, but she didn't desire it as much as she claimed. If she did she would have gotten it back by now, it may have taken a very long time but she would have eventually defeated Akane if she fought long enough. 

Now the only thing on her mind was finding out more about Akio.

Akane was of the same mindset. She occasionally enjoyed looking into the dreams of the world's inhabitants, or just flying around the dimensional gap. However, her interest in Akio replaced all of that.

"I will come as well." Akane voiced her choice before she walked closer to him.

With a smile, Akio opened a portal before all three walked in together. 

---------------------------------------------------

(A/N: Congrats if you guessed it, yes the world is DXD. Although, Akio will probably go to other worlds even before he's finished with the events of DXD. Like I said before slight AU elements when it comes to the strength of some characters. I have also yet to decide on if I should include EXE characters. 

Lastly and most importantly; PLEASE COMMENT on the POSSIBLE HAREM MEMBERS. I'll be honest I don't really wanna include rias or her peerage as I feel like there is no point. They are all pretty weak and would feel like I'm adding them to the harem would be pointless. There's also the fact that they are all still in their teens while Akio and the rest are 20/19. But hey look on the bright side there is still a whole bunch of heroines. 

The one's I have decided on so far are:

Ophis

Akane(Great Red)

Serafall

Grafiya (She will be a mistress)

One's that probably will be chosen:

Gabriel
