Chapter 1: Volume 1 – Chapter 1 – Getting Acquainted

????

????

Third Person Point of View

In the void of nothingness, a small soul floated silently, unaware of why it was there, how it got there nor was it conscious enough to acknowledge its own existence.

"Hmmm?"

A being turned to its side and see something unexpected.

"Hooh? Now how did such a thing get here? You will be the next one then…don't disappoint me."

Fwshhhhhh!

…

…

…

??? ???????

"….?"

I woke up from what seemed like a very long slumber, I sat up and looked around me.

"…What? Where am I?"

Suddenly a giant throbbing pain reverberated through my head

"Ughh!"

I clenched my head because of the pain.

"Are you for real…?"

Reincarnation…Isekai…reborn…what have you...

"That really happened?"

This is too...unreal, what the hell...

"…Menu."

"Jin Skyward? That's my name? but…"

I tried to remember my past self and it came as a blank…no, something was preventing me from remembering. I could remember everything else…my hometown, friends, the media, and the entertainment of my past world.

But anything about my old self was a blank slate…I sigh

"Haah…can't be helped…I'll go as my new identity…Jin."

It felt strange…almost foreign, I better get used to it, otherwise I'll be labeled a weirdo.

"Inventory…"

My [Inventory] window pops up and there are two items present:

===='s Letter x1

Starter Gift x1

"A starter gift and letter…I wonder what it could be?"

Deciding on opening the letter first. I click on it and pressed accept when it prompted me to open it.

[Dear Jin,

You may be wondering why you were reincarnated, truthfully it was on a whim, as well as…well you'll find that part out in the future.

Anyway, you're basically replacing Issei Hyoudou in this timeline, you live alone, and I already took care of placing you into Kuoh Academy and you got a house, enjoy!

A little heads up, Great Red level is around 1000 and the Dragon's highest stat is 120k, so you're only slightly stronger than the True Dragon, for now, go grind and get stronger as you will need it.

Sincerely,

=====

P.S. You are 1 month away from 'canon'.]

I have a month to get acquainted with the world…? Also, it's the world of Highschool DxD, Sacred Gears, Gods, and what have you… what kind of mess was I put into?

…Do I have any skills?

I look at the starter gift that was also given to me, I open it and check its contents.

Starter Gift:

Yexal x1

Money – 10,000g

Skill Book: Perfect Copy x1

Skill Book: Slayer Magic (All) x1

Kuoh Uniform x7

Already starting to become powerful…but what's a Yexal? I sigh I'll check it out another time…

I press the gold in my inventory, and it goes into my status window, I press the gold amount on my status window and a new prompt appears.

Would you like to convert Gold too (Insert Currency Here – Present – Yen)

Note: Gold will be converted to the currency of the country you are currently in. Also, the money you own will automatically convert from whatever country you're in into another if you decide to move or go on holiday.

"That's convenient. I'll need to get a debit card first though before I convert these. But a small amount won't hurt. Let's see, I'll convert, 1g and see how much…"

1g – 197,840.58 Yen

Success! Converted 1g to 197,840.58 Yen!

"…"

I was speechless, is this the conversion rate in this current year? I won't need to worry about money if I just got gold then…

Stronger…I'll abuse the infinite skill points and max my I'D Create skill…

Active – I.D Create – Lvl Max (Mp: 0) – The Gamer can create alternative spaces and or pocket dimensions to help them level up, and gain items and money.

I press the custom button:

Custom: The user chooses whatever type they want.

Examples: Dragon, Angels, Mice, Cats, Chairs, God(s), and Walking buildings.

Note: Your Imagination is your limit.

"Now that's quite useful…Alright, next is ratios."

I press ratios:

Ratios Examples:

10 minutes – Outside the world

1000 Years – Instant dungeon

10:1000 – 1000 years in the Instant dungeons is only 10 minutes in the real world.

I nod, another useful option… I've just been sitting here and pressing the air—any normal person that would have seen me might think I'm crazy…

I sigh and get up, time to go to my new home then…I take out the directions from my Inventory and follow them.

After I left the forest, which was in the town of Kuoh, I follow the directions from the note, but I took my time as I was in the fictional world of DxD, the place was both plain and incredible, with so many shops, people and other unique places of Kuoh.

…

It didn't take me too long to get to my new home, surprisingly it was located in the same place as the Hyoudou's. However, it was much larger, almost like how their house was after a few upgrades from the Gremory.

Why did the being that reincarnated me make my house so big? maybe I'm just lying to myself but…I was a big-time fan of Highschool DxD, the thought of having my own harem was enticing…maybe he read my memories and feelings, so he or it chose to make it this large?

I shook my head, whatever that case may be…I'll just go with it. I step forward and grab the doorknob, surprisingly the door was unlocked, so I pushed it open. To my right was a tall desk with a note that says 'Key' it seems like the being has me really covered…

I take the key and put it into my Inventory. I begin to explore the house, the kitchen was as big as a living room, it has a fridge, but suddenly…

[Kid…]

{Human}

A brief silence when both voices in my head hear each other.

[WHAT THE HELL?! ALBION WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!]

Shouted a voice.

{I COULD SAY THE SAME TO YOU! DDRAIG WHAT THE FUCK?!}

The now named Albion replies.

It looks like both Heavenly Dragons finally woke up. Hey there you two, you're probably wondering why this happened…I'm also still trying to figure that out, but go ahead and look through my memories…you'll find your answers there.

…

A small bout of silence falls until the two dragons freak out.

{[YOU'RE A WHAT?!/WHAT THE HELL?]}

Both dragons scream inside my head.

[TO THINK OUR LIVES WERE A WORK OF FICTION FROM HIS WORLD?! WHAT THE HELL?!?!]

Ddraig screams in despair.

{HAS OUR RIVALRY MEANT NOTHING THEN?!}

Albion cries out and I feel him bash his head against the ground.

Look, I'm confused as you are, but 'canon' will start in around a month, I need to get ready. Can you guys please just throw away your rivalry? You'll be stuck with me for the foreseeable future after all. I asked them as I took a seat on a couch in the living room.

[We don't exactly have a choice.]

{That's true.]

I appreciate your cooperativeness; my next question is…can I access both your Balance Breakers? what about Juggernaut Drive? I was quite curious myself; I am powerful…stupidly so, but…I have no idea if I could do it right now.

[Well, we don't know how strong you are, Partner, so I'm not sure.]

The red dragon answers and the white dragon nods in agreement.

Then how about I show you this? I proceed to open my status window and show both the dragons it and explain my other powers, along with my skills and what the 'being' told me.

{I see, if what that being told you were real, then yes, you can most likely use both our Balance breakers for an indefinite amount of time. Along with both our Juggernaut drives without losing your lifespan and losing your sanity.}

[Albion, doesn't this mean we have the strongest wielder for both our Sacred gears to date? This is quite exciting! If our partner gets stronger, we may be able to go to other worlds or universes!]

Ddraig excitedly exclaims. I chuckle at this; I haven't thought that far…I want to find out my own past and if this is a completely different version of DxD than the canon timeline…

I take out the two skill books I was given for my starter gift and learn them both.

Would you like to learn the skills Perfect Copy and Slayers magic?

[Accept/Decline].

I press accept and both skill books disappear.

Ping!

Skill learned!

Active – Perfect Copy – Lvl Max (Mp: 0) – The User can perfectly copy moves, spells, and techniques from anyone they look at.

[God damn!]

{That certainly is powerful, it doesn't take any mana either. We must abuse this.}

Active/Passive –Slayer magic (All) – Lvl: 1 (0%) (Mp: Varies) – Slayer magic, this has Dragon, God, and Devil slayer magic combined into one.

Available modes:

Dragon King

Dragon God

Devil King

Devil God

Dual Elements – Examples are: Lightning Flame Dragon Mode, Frozen Flame Mode…etc.

[Damn partner, you're one terrifying individual.]

{I second that.}

I nervously chuckle at their remark.

"Well, I have unlimited skill points so I can just max the slayer magic now"

…So, I did.

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WE ARE OVERPOWERED!]

{I worry for you Ddraig…}

Albion sighs heavily while looking at Ddraig disappointingly.

I wonder if there's some sort of ranking system? after I thought of that a new screen popped up beside me.

Ranking tier list:

Each class is associated with a letter rank. This ranges from D to Ex+++.

DEITY CLASSES ARE NOT IN ORDER, SINCE THEY ARE INTERCHANGEABLE, DEPENDING ON THE BEING OR INDIVIDUAL.

Omniversal

Deity classes:

The letter rankings also go as such.

Ex+++

Jin's current rank is: Deity class – Dragon god – Ex+++

I see…I'm at the top of the hierarchy then…

[That means the both of us are at heavenly dragon class, so deity class as well.]

{Indeed.}

Notice: The being known as 'Jin' owns both Boosted gear and divine dividing, however, due to the 'otherworldly gods' interference your rival, the White dragon emperor still exists in this timeline.

Suggestion: Only show Boosted gear for the time being, when you reveal it to the Supernatural.

Looks like you gotta take a back seat for a while Albion. Well, in the real world. If we go to dungeons, then I'll use both of you. I gotta master both of you after all.

{It is inevitable, worry not.}

[Hah! I get to kick ass.]

Alright. I had finished mulling over my existence. Let's go and fight things in dungeons then…I need experience after all…

…

Random day – Random dungeon

Jin Skyward

Boom! Boom!

[Partner! You're too stiff! Relax!]

I dodged another barrage of flame breaths that was sent my way by smaller dragons. Easy for you to say…

I had been going into random dungeons as much as I could to gain some fighting experience, while I knew how to throw a punch and probably have fought in my old world…

Fighting dragons wasn't one of them, I may have the raw power, but I have no understanding of how to fight giant lizards that can fly.

Ddraig, the boosted gear isn't nerfed like in the book, right?

[I haven't noticed any difference so far…]

In the light novel, the [Boosted Gear] didn't exactly do as intended, instead of times 2 boost, the wielder's strength only increased gradually…that's why Issei had to boost multiple times, instead of only a few…

If the Sacred Gear worked as intended, he only needed to boost a few times to reach the top of the world's strongest—not including his body's limit, which realistically would reach its limit at the very least one or two boosts.

"Alright, let's give it a shot. Boosted Gear!"

I summoned the [Boosted Gear] on my right arm.

"Do it."

[Boost!]

I check my stats and it showed 300k, so it's really a times two increase.

[Hah! Told ya!]

[Explosion!]

Once Ddraig announced that I launched himself towards the dragons. I cocked his fist back and threw it towards one, unfortunately for the dragon it didn't react in time and it exploded into several hundred pieces. The only thing that was left was gold on the ground.

The other dragons that saw this were shocked, but regained their composure and started blasting me with fire-breathing attacks.

[Reset!]

The stored power from the Boosted Gear was gone and Jin was back to his 150k stats, but that was still good enough.

That didn't last too long…

[It can't be helped, you haven't used my power for that long, the same with Albion.]

{Mmm, you used mine yesterday, today is for Ddraig's.}

Right…I looked back at the dragons and charged again, the dungeons that I have entered over time have adjusted themselves to my powers, so these small dragons were actually equal to me in power, however, their stats will vary.

Don! Don! Don!

I sent a barrage of punches towards the dragon, it winced back at the pain but didn't get one shot like its friend.

Irritated, it swung its tail at me, I dodged the attack by leaning back, this felt like the Matrix…I mused as I saw the tail graze my nose.

[Boost!]

I'll get more boosts before unleashing it…then I'll end them all. That's what I thought as I dodged another attack from the dragon.

"KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

It bellowed out frustrated, it charged up another breath attack, longer this time…then shot it towards me.

"Crap, that's big…"

Concentrating on putting more energy on my feet, I launched myself to the side with greater force, as I dodged the giant breathe attack.

'Phew…'

I saw the destruction the attack left and was glad I wasn't hit by it.

[Boost!]

'Alright, enough, do it!'

[Explosion!]

The stored-up energy was released and my stats shot up to 600k, using the new power I blitz past the dragons and with one motion crushed its skull. I turned to the others and did the same thing, tearing off some wings, and shoving another's bones up another dragon's ass.

[Reset!]

"Haah…"

I slumped down to the ground. I won't get used to fighting…maybe…

{Jin, that was a bit…brutal.}

[You shoved a dragon bone up another's ass. HAHAHA!]

It was spur of the moment…

…

Another day – Another Dungeon

{Divide!}

I was currently in [Divine Dividing's] Balance Breaker, as I flew around avoiding multiple Serpent God's attacks.

Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang!

Shit…these things are annoying…they just kept on launching attacks me without rest...

{Focus, Jin. If one of those attacks hit you then it'll be quite damaging.}

I know! I avoided all attacks that were sent my way. Let's do that then! I increased my speed and made contact with all the Serpent Gods. Once I did, I flew away leaving the Serpents confused. I put my hand out and—

{Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!}

Albion used divide on the Serpents four times, after he did all of them fell onto the ground weakened.

"Finally…"

I gathered an enormous amount of mana above me. It's like…the Spirit Bomb. Once I was satisfied with the amount I gathered, I threw it down on all the Serpents, and the hisses of pain and agony faded quickly. Once the attack was done, an enormous crater was left along with gold that the monsters dropped.

"I think I'm getting the hang of this…"

{Yes, you are Jin, well done.}

"Thanks, Alby."

…

1 week later.

Jin Skyward

I sigh heavily. That was exhausting…wait do I even get tired? I guess I still have that habit... I chuckled helplessly at myself as I was still getting used to all of this. I decided to check my own status after not checking it for a long time.

Perhaps I went a little overboard…?

{[You think?]}

Both dragons deadpan.

"Anyway! I've been doing nothing but grind for a week! I'll shower and go buy food, maybe I'll come across some characters here…"

{[We know who you have in mind.]}

"Hahaha…"

Both dragons cut the link leaving me alone.

"Fuck."

I go to one of my three bathrooms and shower. I get dressed in a plain white shirt, a black hoodie, blue jeans, and black sneakers. I leave my house and make my way towards the town. I already have this planned. I'll go to the shrine, find Akeno, and ask her if I can just look around and ask her for directions on where to buy food.

…

It didn't take me long to find the shrine, I went up the stairs…low and behold I see one of the characters I was fond of…Akeno Himejima.

She had a happy smile on her face as she swept the leaves around her home, she was humming an upbeat tune, having not noticed me yet.

"Excuse me?"

This catches her attention, and she looks at me, her face went from smiling to frowning.

"I'm sorry, I won't go out with you."

She bluntly replies while keeping eye contact.

I was stunned into silence; I didn't expect her to react or reply like that…I won't lie that hurt a bit. Ugh…

"H-Huh? No, I was going to ask you if it's okay if I look around the area a bit. I moved into town a week ago and haven't really had time to explore the place."

I give her a wry smile and scratch the back of my head. I didn't look that suspicious, right?

She looks at me a bit shocked and bows.

"I'm sorry, I'm usually asked out by men the second they start speaking to me, and to answer your question. Yes, feel free to look around."

I smile at her.

"Thank you, also do you know which way the supermarket is? That was my original destination but got side-tracked because of the shrine haha…"

It was her turn to smile this time as she made a small gesture to her right.

"Yes, when you get back down the stairs turn right and follow the street until you see a store that says 'INTERSTATE' and turn left and follow that, you'll see a big building, that's the local supermarket."

"I see, thank you for the help."

I walk past her and look around the place, surprisingly it's relatively the same as the anime, but there's another detail that they didn't show because, well, it's on a time crunch haha. After a few minutes of just looking around and making eye contact with Akeno a few times, I finally finish my mini-tour. I make my way back towards the stairs.

"How was it?"

Akeno asks me.

"Very…Shriney. As expected of Japan!"

I exclaim. I don't think I've been here in my past life….but whatever, that can be looked at in the future, I have time…

"Ara ara ~ is it your first time in Japan by any chance?"

"Yes ma'am! I'm originally from Ireland, moved here after…well…both my parents passed from an accident, so I just wanted to move to some other place and here I am. Oh, I'm Jin Skyward, by the way, 17 years old!"

I put my hand out for a handshake and smile. Saying 'Jin Skyward' still felt weird even after a week…whatever I'll get used to it sooner or later.

She dawns a sad expression and shakes my hand.

"Where are my manners? My name is Akeno Himejima, Japanese and 17 years old as well. Nice to meet you…handsome~"

She smiles seductively. Yep, there it is. The Akeno that's into S&M and really flirty...even if it's an act.

"Nice to meet you too. I'm guessing you go to school? I'll be transferring into Kuoh Academy in a few weeks so at the start of the school year."

"Oh! That means you'll be a 3rd year like me"

"I guess so, anyway, I guess this makes us, classmates? Friends?"

I chuckle.

"Yeah…friends…Hey Jin, do you want me to help you with shopping and lead you to the supermarket?"

She asks me hesitantly.

"Hmm? Oh, if you're free then that would be great, I'd appreciate it Akeno…san?"

"Fufufu, well I'll go get changed, also just call me Akeno, we're the same age after all."

…

Akeno Himejima

After telling Jin I was going to change, I go back into the shrine which is also my home. I close the door and create a communication circle.

"Rias?"

I call out to my [King]…I am a Devil after all.

"Yes, Akeno? Do you need something?"

"I just met a new person who moved into your territory. He seems like an interesting individual. It's just a feeling but…I think he has some sort of power."

"Hmm…what's his name? also any other information?"

Rias asked and I continued with what Jin told me quite carelessly…

"Jin Skyward, 17, He's from Ireland, who moved here last week after his parents died from an accident. He's also going to attend Kuoh next week, he's also going to be a 3rd year like us."

"I see, thank you Akeno. Can you keep an eye on him? And inform me of anything you find suspicious. I'll ask Sona about it later."

"I understand, President."

I cut the circle call and get changed.

…

Jin Skyward

I felt Akeno create a magic circle, feels like she was informing Rias about me. Even with that new aura sealing skill I have. Looks like Akeno is informing Rias and Sona about us.

{She's quite perceptive…even when young. Perhaps it's just her intuition?}

[Could be.]

The link disappears as the girl comes back out, dressed differently.

She wore a black and white dress that reached to her knees. She looks beautiful.

"Welcome back."

"Thank you, shall we get going?"

"Yep!"

She cheerfully replies. I wonder if she's just playing this up? Well, whatever…hopefully, I can truly get to know her sooner or later.

I decided to use [Observe] on Akeno.

…

After Shopping.

"Thanks for the help, Akeno."

Both of us are leaving after finishing shopping. I have 4 plastic bags on me, meanwhile, Akeno has 2.

"It's no problem, Jin. I enjoyed myself."

She says while looking forward with a smile. She didn't look too uncomfortable carrying those…no, she's a Devil so she has enchanted strength…so it makes sense.

Yep, that smile is to die for. I want to protect it and have it directed at me.

"I can cook for you tonight if you want? As a thank you."

I offered to her with a chuckle, there is a brief silence with her humming.

"Sure! A free dinner is always welcomed"

She cheerfully replies, and with that our pace quickened with me leading her to where my humble abode is. She's probably going to take this chance to see if I'm part of the supernatural or not, be my guest…I didn't even spend the week in my own home but in a [Dungeon]…

"Woah…"

Were the words that escaped Akeno's mouth after seeing my house. She looked a bit taken aback.

"Haha…yeah, I kinda, bought a relatively big house just to future proof you know?"

This was true, for my future harem, I want to create a kind of pocket dimension with an Aincrad-like home, 100 floors and each floor is customizable. Maybe I'm being too optimistic?

"Future proof?"

She tilts her head not understanding what I meant.

I chuckle nervously and nod.

"Well…when I get a family for myself you know? For my future wife and kids."

I turn to her and smile. She stares back at me and blushes a bit….why? is the talk of kids and family that embarrassing for teenagers?

"I-I see…"

She breaks eye contact and turns away.

"Anyway, come in."

I take out my keys and open the door.  I gesture for her to come in, she does, and I lead her to one of the kitchens.

"It's even bigger inside."

I smirk at her comment and she doesn't see that…safe.

"Well, just put the bags here and relax, I'll get you a drink. Coffee, or tea?"

"Oh…umm tea please."

I give her a thumbs up and get to work. Akeno takes a seat on one of the chairs and just looks around. After working on the tea and letting the water boil, I get to work on dinner. It's only around 6 p.m.

"Hey, Akeno?"

"Yeah?"

She responds while still looking around the room.

"Do you have a set time you want to go home? And if you're that curious go ahead and explore but try not to get lost!"

I tell her and laugh at my last statement.

"No... I can go home whenever. Also, thank you I'll just do that."

She gets up and goes exploring, I did just give her a free pass in exploring this place…please do tell me when you find something new. I have zero clue about what's in this place. I could hear Ddraig cackling in my head and feel Albion shaking his head in disapproval.

…

After making dinner

Akeno finally came back to the kitchen/dining room after I called her.

"Smells wonderful."

"Yeah, one of many foods I ate a lot in Ireland. It's called Irish Beef Stew. Give it a shot."

I gesture to the food in front of her. She smiles and takes the fork and spoon and takes a bite of the beef and a sip of the stew.

Her eyes widen and she begins to eat even more as if her life depended on it. I chuckle at the sight.

"I take it you like it?"

She only nods in approval without stopping.

"It's nothing special, just a regular recipe, my family does have a 'Skyward specialty'."

I grin and start eating my food too, we enjoy our meal in brief silence until— Akeno finally stops and looks up.

"A specialty?"

She asks confused.

"Yeah, like our own version of the stew? Change some ingredients and a few other bits. It tastes very different but in a good way."

After that, we ate and made idle chatter about the upcoming school year and learned more about each other.

"Anything I need to know about the school? Or the people?"

She hums for a bit before answering.

"There are two boys that are called throughout the school as the 'Perverted Duo', the title is self-explanatory."

She lets out a chuckle, I nod in understanding…It's probably those two, no doubt.

"Avoid and beat up gotcha. Anything else? Like clubs? What about the student council? Or any committees?"

She kind of froze when I specifically asked that, she might get suspicious. But hopefully, she'll just see it as me being curious about the new school.

"Oh yeah! I'm in a club called the 'Occult Research Club.' It's led by my childhood friend and best friend Rias Gremory, our club is also friends with the student council and its members, especially the President and Vice-President. Their names are Souna Shitori and Tsubaki Shinra, Rias and Sona are also childhood friends."

"The occult huh? I believe it's real, haven't seen proof though, haha. Maybe I should apply for the club? If I do I look forward to meeting the club members."

Akeno's eyes widen but go back to normal just as quickly.

"I-I'll talk about it to Rias and see what she thinks. But I'm sure she'll be happy about it."

She says with a forced smile. That made her a bit uncomfortable…just gotta try to see where my boundaries stand right now.

"Well, if your club has specifics on who can join then I won't push for it. So, don't try too hard haha."

I get up finally finishing my food, I take both our plates and begin to wash them. Akeno doesn't answer back though, I can feel her thinking about it.

"Thank you for the food, Jin, but I should get going…"

"Oh, okay."

I answer back, I turn around to see her getting up and making her way to the hallway.

"Wait!"

I get a lunchbox and put some rice and the stew into it along with some other bits of food.

"Here, something for tomorrow?"

I give the lunch back to her in a plastic bag.

"Oh also."

I take out a piece of paper and write down my phone number.

"My number."

She takes the plastic bag from me and the piece of paper, she smiles and blushes.

"Thank you, Jin…and good night."

"Good night, Akeno! No—Hime! (Princess)"

I shout out with a grin as she walks away from my house. Her head snaps around and looks at me surprised with an even bigger blush. I just chuckle at her reaction and wave her off, she does the same and finally leaves my line of sight.

[Smooth.]

{No.}

Gee, thanks Alby.

Time to make a game plan, I want to reveal who I am to her in around a week. I want to gain her trust first. Any suggestions? I ask both dragons.

[Do what you've been doing, it looks like it's working.]

{I agree with Ddraig, do what you did today, get her trust and her heart.}

Okay, that sounds creepy Albion. Ddraig bursts into laughter and Albion just grumbles something I couldn't hear.

…

Akeno Himejima

He called me a princess… I couldn't help but have a big smile on my face, eh? Why? I don't understand my feelings right now, he's a friend for now. I shake my head of these thoughts. I turn into an alley and make sure no one is around and make a teleportation circle and teleport to where Rias and everyone were at.

...

Kuoh Academy

Occult Research Club

"President."

I call out to my best friend and [King].

"Ah, Akeno, glad you could make it. Everyone is here now. How about you explain your day to us?"

"What do you mean President?"

A blonde boy asks Rias.

"Akeno met a new individual that has come to devil territory and she said she felt some sort of power within him."

She explained to our lone [Knight] piece Kiba Yuuto. Kiba-kun nodded at what Rias said.

"Some kind of power?"

A small and petite white-haired girl asked in a monotone voice. She was chewing on something…probably candy she bought herself.

"Yes, Koneko, it may be magic or a Sacred Gear."

The girl nodded, she's our lone [Rook] piece, her name is Koneko Toujou.

"Yes, I met him around the afternoon. He claimed that he moved here after his parents died in an accident. He's originally from Ireland, his name is Jin Skyward, 17 years of age."

I pause and look at everyone, they were listening so I continued.

"I felt some sort of power radiating from him after he introduced himself to me and why he was at the shrine. He was new to the area and wanted to look around and was out to go grocery shopping."

"Yes, what happened after that?"

Rias asked me to continue and I did.

"Well, I offered to help him with shopping, and I also learned more things about him, and he offered to cook dinner for me. I just came back from that, as you can see."

As I hold up the plastic bag I had. They all looked a bit surprised….eh? why? Did I say something strange?

"So, you went on a date?"

Rias asks with a deadpan. Which made me blush…my face was heating up again, please don't say it like that.

"I, uh, well…A-Anyway, how about we try out some of it out?"

I tried to move the conversation along. The rest of her peerage nodded as they took some forks and spoons. Koneko scooped some of the stew up and ate it, she briefly stops before she starts to shove more and more into her mouth. Kiba chuckled at the sight and joined in.

When he took a bite, his eyes lit up

"This is good!"

Koneko nodded approvingly and rapidly, and she started to eat more of it…she's really a glutton, isn't she?

"Good...good..."

I smiled at my fellow peerage members enjoying the food provided by Jin. But I see our [King] with a perplexed look on her, I was worried that she didn't like it.

"Rias? Is something wrong?"

I frown at her with concern. But she doesn't answer.

"Rias?"

"Is he single?"

She finally speaks up. Everyone just stops what they're doing and just stares at our king. Finally breaking out of the trance I manage to speak up

"W-What do you mean?"

"Is he single? If I marry him, or even date him he might cook delicious food for me!"

Our king happily cheers. She just said something very outrageous…though we all should be used to it by now…

Everyone had varied reactions, Koneko nodded approvingly and Kiba had a wry smile on him.

"I'm not sure, but I think he is single. He did mention about wanting to join the club—"

"YES, HE'S APPROVED BRING HIM HERE WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS!"

"Right…anyway about the stray we were informed about…"

I moved the conversation along; I felt a bit conflicted by all of that…I wonder when I'll meet Jin again?

…

1 week later.

Akeno Himejima

Safe to say Jin and I have gotten a lot closer within a week's time span. We've hung out nearly every day and talked about anything that comes into our minds. I've also been thinking of revealing that the supernatural was real to him. If he plans on joining the club, Rias might reveal it to him and take him for herself. I don't want that!

"Akeno? Are you okay?"

I hear Jin's voice and look back at him. I give him a half-hearted smile.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

I replied, but he looked unconvinced and looked at me with concern.

I see… it may have been a bit quick, but I may have fallen for him. Thinking about it, my cheeks heat up and I get a bit lightheaded. But when I think about revealing what I am to him and being rejected, I get scared. What am I supposed to do?!

Even with what happened to me last year…Chase-kun, the stalker, and my own history—I should realistically hate men, but…when I look at Jin...something just felt…weird, was this a good or bad thing?

…

Jin Skyward

Well…it only took a week of random chance meet-ups between Akeno and I to get this far. We also went on impromptu dates when we accidentally came across each other, I wasn't intentionally finding her and coming across her…

I feel like the world was fucking with me when those times happened…well, it didn't happen all the time, but still.

I didn't work on getting more levels, but I did go into empty I. D's and worked on getting better control of my own powers and as well as both of my Sacred Gears, it feels like both Heavenly Dragons and I's relationship became a lot better.

We're like…roommates or brothers in a way, they give me advice, we banter and such, it was great…I didn't feel alone during those times since these two would sometimes break into arguments which was a good laugh every now and then.

I also went to meet the Three Factions. Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels…right now—the Red Dragon Emperor is only known by a few. I became the 'Middleman' of sorts. I want peace—

Though in reality, I'm a glorified mercenary and I'm only doing this to have an easier time meeting women in all factions and pantheons.

I inwardly sigh, we were currently outside the shrine where we first met up and we had fallen into silence. Fast romance…it's dxd but still…hopefully I won't go this fast with everyone else…

"Hey, Akeno. I was wondering…"

I trail off and look at her. She stares back at me with curiosity and hope(?)

"Yes?"

She answers quickly and nervously.

"W-Would you b—"

I was cut off by a voice behind me.

"Well, well, well. Look at this, a devil hanging out with a human."

The voice says. I turn around and see Fallen angels there. They might be rogues too…just random mobs, they all look so generic.

"No!"

I hear Akeno scream behind me, I turn around and see a horrified expression on her face.

"KILL THEM!"

The one in the middle says, two more fallen angels appear out of nowhere and launch Light spears at us.

"Nooooo!!!!"

I hear Akeno scream again as she started to sprint towards me. But she doesn't react nor reach me in time.

The spears hit me and a small explosion hits the area around me. Akeno is thrown back and stares at the spot in disbelief. A small dust cloud covers the area so nothing could be seen.

"Jin! Jin!"

Akeno screams out in dismay….

…

Akeno Himejima

No no no no no, this can't be happening! Tears started to stream down my face, I didn't even get to confess to him. I need to call Rias! We can reincarnate him…please…

…

Jin Skyward

"AHAHAHAHA, HUMANS ARE ALWAYS WEAK!"

One of the Fallen angels says while cackling in laughter.

Akeno was still sitting there tears streaming down her face as she looked at the dust cloud that was about to settle.

When it finally does, all that was present were shocked at the sight. I stood there unharmed—a human holding all three light spears with a smirk on my face.

"WHAT?!"

All three Fallen scream in disbelief as they see their attack had done nothing…

"I didn't expect to be attacked like this…haah, how bothersome. Don't you rogue fallen have anything better to do?"

I tell them as I crush the light spears out of existence. That action seemed to piss them off as they charged at me, I swiftly dodge them and with light love taps I pushed them all away…all of them landed on the ground with loud thuds, and one of them was missing an arm.

Err—how weak is he? I really held back there…

[Your 'holding back' is different from the rest of us, Partner.]

{A T-Rex versus an Ant, and they hold back, yeah…that'll end well…}

"HOW ARE YOU SO POWERFUL?! HUMANS ARE THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOD CHAIN!!"

"Fuck you, that's how."

The fallen shrieked. I gave the rogue the middle finger, further pissing them off. I decided to summon the [Boosted Gear]. All their eyes widen

"T-That's!"

One of them exclaims.

"Just once would be fine. Interrupting my time with Akeno, and trying to kill us? I think that's punishable by death…"

[Boost!]

Gathering Draconic energy in front of me at a rapid pace, I unleashed it.

"Dragon Shot."

Boom!!!!!

"Dammit, it all!!!!!!!"

The three fallen screamed as they were erased from existence.

Phew…thankfully I held the range on the thing and it didn't go past further than the small wooded area near the place…If I didn't that would have alerted both heiresses, assuming they were here in Kuoh at the moment.

I finally turn around. Akeno still sitting there in utter disbelief.

"I guess I have some explaining to do, haha…"

She could only nod at what I said. I dismiss my balance breaker and go towards Akeno.

I take her hand first and look into her eyes, I'm quite embarrassed to do this, as this romance came out quickly, but…I don't regret it.

"First things first."

She looked at me confused as I step back.

"I like you, please go out with me."

"…Yes…YES! OF COURSE, I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU! IDIOT!"

The silence was deafening. she says almost in a whisper. I finally look up and tears were still streaming down her face, but this time she had a look of happiness instead. She launches herself at me and bear hugs me. I hug her back and stroke her hair.

…

We make our way into the shrine and I take a seat.

"I'll make some tea."

Akeno gets up and goes into the kitchen to make some tea. It's not the first time I've been in here, but I can't help but look around the place. It seems surreal honestly, being in a shrine and all.

Akeno eventually comes back with two cups one for me and herself. She sets mine in front of me and hers beside mine, she takes residency on my lap which makes me smirk.

"I don't mind the gesture, but you sure are quick."

She blushes and lightly smacks my arm.

"I thought I lost you today, can you blame me?"

"Cute, but I won't be defeated that easily, Akeno."

She nods and hesitantly asks me—

"So…how long have you known about the supernatural?"

"From the age of 7, I awakened two of my Sacred Gears."

"TWO!?"

She seemed shocked by that…yeah, I'm not exactly from this world, and whoever reincarnated me…

"Yeah, since you're my girlfriend, I'll tell you what they are. But can you not tell Rias Gremory yet? I wanna keep it a secret."

She only nods again. I sigh and get up. Why? I don't know—I have no real reason; I don't hate Rias…maybe I just want an overdramatic reveal? Probably when I rescue her from Riser or something…as cliché as that sounds…

"We'll need space let's go back outside, but behind the house instead."

We make our way towards the back of the shrine and I stand a bit away from her.

"As you know I am this generation's Red Dragon Emperor. But I am also…"

I don't finish my sentence and release the wings from behind me. Revealing [Divine Dividing] to her.

Akeno's eyes widen in shock again.

"I am also the White Dragon Emperor. But it's a lot more complicated than that. Because there's also another White Dragon Emperor and his name is Vali, he's in alliance with Grigori."

"Huh?! How?! Two White Dragon Emperors?!"

She was confused, I can't blame her…this doesn't exactly make any sense…

"Akeno, I can't reveal much about myself for now, but I will tell you everything in the future. Everything I told you about myself is true, but it's more complicated than that."

Akeno nods again and seemed to brace herself—

"Well…I should tell you who I am?"

"I already know…everything…"

I shake my head as she furrows her brows and looks at me confused.

"Akeno Himejima, Age 17, Priestess of thunder, S&M Queen, Queen of Gremory peerage."

Her eyes widen but I continue.

"Half Reincarnated Devil and Half Fallen Angel…"

She looked horrified at me.

"Daughter of—"

"NO!"

She shouts at me. I look at her with concern.

"Please don't say that name…"

She pleaded…yeah that was my bad, she hasn't exactly worked through that trauma yet. She still hates him after all…

"…"

"Who really are you?"

"I've already told you who I am, Akeno. I didn't lie about anything, but I didn't tell you the full truth."

"Then can you tell me a bit more? We did just start dating…"

She smiles weakly….I nod, I see no problems with that…I have to at least be truthful—even if partially to someone…

"Alright, sure. I'm Half Human and Half-Dragon God."

After revealing this her mouth just falls open and looks at me with surprise.

"D-Dragon God?!"

I only nod at her question. I then reveal my dragon wings as she looks at them.

"This proof enough?"

She nods again while staring at my wings—they were black in color…I was a black dragon then? Weird…

"Alright, anything else?"

"Do you know everyone's real identities at school?"

"Yes, I do. Two Clan Heiresses are governing over Kuoh."

After a long silence, Akeno finally speaks up again.

"Which faction are you a part of?"

"None, I have been taking requests and missions from all three factions. To better relations with them. You could call me the middleman? I want Peace Akeno."

"I've met with the Four Great Seraphs of Heaven and the Four Satans."

I pause to look at her, she's just standing there taking all the information being revealed to her. I want to meet with others in the future too…the threat of ExE is all real…also, I can assume the multiverse—no, the omniverse is real…who reincarnated me?

Some random R.O.B? doubt it, it's too cliché…then who? Lots of questions, and very few answers…but it's all about the journey. Not the end destination…that's my motto, take it or leave it.

"Thank you, that's all for now…"

She turns around and starts to walk away.

"Akeno wait"

She turns around and looks at me.

"How about a date this Sunday? I'll pick you up here at 12 noon."

She smiles at me and nods. Still not sure how she's feeling, and I refuse to use that skill, I flash step towards her and hug her from behind and kiss the back of her head.

"I promise to reveal more things to you soon. I don't want to overload you with any more for now. But you can ask them anytime, alright?"

I hear her squeak out an 'okay' before letting her go.

…

Skyward household

"Alright, I'm going to need to do some things."

I look at my right hand. Time to resurrect Shuri Himejima…I wonder if the reunion will be smooth…?

…

Random Graveyard

I teleport to a bunch of cemeteries and look for her grave. I eventually find it after the 3rd cemetery I get to.

"Damn, just a random cemetery, how fucked up can that clan get?"

It's still nighttime, so I get to digging her out. I activate the skill [True Resurrection] and the skeletal remains of Shuri glow for a few seconds. It eventually dies down and a woman that looks identical to Akeno stood before me.

"W-Where am I?"

She asks looking around and then finally at me. She seems to be in a bit of a daze…

"Hello, ma'am. My name is Jin Skyward, I just resurrected you. It's been around 6 to 7 years after your death."

Ping!

Skill learned!

Active – Memory Transfer – Lvl: Max (Mp: Varies) – Transfers entire or specific memories from the user to the individual the user is touching.

"I'm no angel ma'am, but I am dating your daughter Akeno."

She looks at me in surprise but before she could ask, I—

"I'll use a technique to transfer some of my memories of what has happened the last few years to you."

She just nods. I touch her forehead and activate the skill. Around 3 minutes later the skill stops and Shuri opens her eyes. Some stray tears escape her eyes.

"Shuri, I know I just started dating Akeno, but I know a lot more about her than she thinks. I also want to help repair a broken family."

"Thank you."

She nods and I grab her shoulder and teleport us back to my house.

…

Skyward household

"This is?"

She asks surprised by the quick change of surroundings.

"My home, there are quite a few beds so just pick any. I'll contact Azazel. We'll go to Grigori to meet Baraqiel."

Hearing this, Shuri quickly nods her head.

"I would be forever thankful for this… thank you, Jin."

…

Next morning

Shuri and I finished having breakfast and finished getting ready to make our trip to Grigori.

"Shuri, I'll be putting an invisibility spell on you."

Ping!

Skill learned!

Active – True Invisibility – Lvl: Max (Mp: 500) – Turns the user or anyone the user touches invisible. They can't be detected at all. Like they vanished from existence.

I touch Shuri's shoulder and use the skill on her.

"I'm the only one who can detect and hear you Shuri, so are you ready?"

"Yes, I am!"

She replies in a determined tone. I touch her and we both teleport to Azazel's office in Grigori.

…

Grigori

"Yo!"

I greet the governor, he was just there fiddling with documents of paper.

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

He screams in surprise and falls over. Was it that surprising? You should be more prepared dude…

"I'm here for a favor."

"Ugh... so, what do you want?"

Azazel replies rubbing his backside while getting up. He looked slightly irritated.

"Can you get Baraqiel to come here?"

He tilts his head in confusion and nods his head. He creates a communication circle and tells Baraqiel to go to his office.

"So, why do you want Baraqiel?"

He asks, but before I could answer a teleportation circle appears beside Azazel and Baraqiel appears. I briefly look at Shuri and she has a nostalgic look on her face.

"Ah, Jin, how can I help you today?"

Baraqiel asks me. The times I've come to Grigori and taken requests, two have been from Baraqiel.

"So, I have a few things to say and reveal. 1. I started dating your daughter yesterday."

This reveal makes his eyes widen while Azazel grins like a madman.

"O-Okay…?"

Baraqiel stutters out shocked and confused. This reaction caused Shuri to giggle beside me.

"2. We're going on a date on Sunday. But that's changed because of a certain someone."

"What? By who?"

Both fallen ask utterly confused now.

"Cancel Invisibility"

I cancel the skill and a woman is revealed to be standing beside me.

"Gentlemen, I present to you the newly resurrected Shuri Himejima."

Both their eyes widen in surprise and disbelief. Shuri immediately runs towards Baraqiel and hugs him. He, on reflex, hugs her back in return.

"Sh-Shuri…?!"

Baraqiel asks in surprise as tears begin to form.

"It really is me, dear!"

Shuri exclaims as she begins crying and burying herself into her husband's chest.

Why is this going smoothly? I read the Light novels…and I put a memory in her—it was a fake one, but real at the same time. It was Azazel and I 'talking' and he said that he blames himself for making Baraqiel come back to Grigori that day.

Azazel had given Baraqiel a mission that day—so that's why he couldn't protect them, the Himejima clan were responsible…maybe more? What if they collaborated with Rogue Fallen? I can assume this is an alternate universe…

Azazel just stares at the newly reunited couple in disbelief until he stares at me in shock and concern.

"How?"

"I can resurrect the dead with no consequences. I brought her back to life last night. In short, I want to repair a broken family."

"I'll be damned Jin, holy shit…wait, then can you…?"

"Bring back the old dead guy? Most likely, but I won't. It'll shake the balance. I can also talk to souls and I doubt he'd want to come back."

I answer him, to which he only nodded in understanding. But it looked like he was still in deep thought.

Baraqiel eventually breaks his hug with Shuri and walks over to me. He suddenly bear hugs me.

"Thank you!...thank you…."

I pat his back and hug him back lightly

"Don't worry about it. I just want Akeno and all of you to be happy. This comes into the 3rd thing. The date for Akeno and I will be replaced with a family outing. All three of you will spend the day. I'll be nearby."

I break the hug and explain my plan to them.

"I'll be meeting up with Akeno on Sunday and 12 noon. I'll use the same invisibility spell on you two, speak to her and then undo the spell. It'll be up to you guys after that."

I take out a piece of paper and hand it to Baraqiel

"This is my phone number, contact me when all is done, and I'll join you guys."

"Okay, thank you again, Jin. But where's Shuri staying?"

"She was staying in my house, there's a lot of room so she was in her own bedroom. She can stay in Grigori with you from now on if you want. If not then she can stay at my house for the time being."

He nods and turns to Shuri…she was still hugging him, I guess they missed each other that much, huh? it was an…untimely death after all.

"What do you want to do honey? I have enough space in my room, but it'll be a tight fit."

Shuri goes into thinking for a few moments but then speaks up,

"I'll stay at Jin's place for now. I want to get re-acquainted with the modern world for the time being."

Baraqiel nods to her answer.

I take out another piece of paper and write my address and hand it to him.

"My address, also the place has some magic barriers placed on it, so you can teleport directly to Shuri's bedroom."

He gives me another hug.

"Thank you again, Jin. I don't think we'll ever be able to repay you."

He says with a genuine smile.

"Like I said, no worries."

I genuinely did this because I want to see Akeno genuinely happy, and not put her through all that emotional turmoil.

"There is one-way dear."

Shuri chimes in making us all look at her questioningly

"To give him our blessings."

She says with a huge smile. Azazel looks back at me with a massive shit-eating grin.

"I, THE GOVERNOR OF GRIGORI ALSO GIVE YOU, MY BLESSINGS!"

The Governor-General exclaims. Azazel…do you even have any authority over that…?

"…I…Yes, that would be fair. You have my blessings, Jin. If you eventually marry our daughter, then you have our approval."

I just stare at them in shock this time, what the hell do I even say in this situation…?

"I-Uh-I….okay….thank you…"

They laugh at my reaction, I just cough into my fist.

"We should go then Shuri-san, we can buy you some things, a phone, clothing, and other essentials."

She nods and gives her husband a quick kiss and hug and stands beside me.

"Ash Crow, keep this a secret for the time being alright? I want the peace conference in the future to go smoothly."

Azazel just nods and we both teleport out of there.

…

Japan, Kuoh

Skyward household

We arrive back at my home and I turn to her.

"Now then, let's get you more acquainted?"

I smile at her and gestured towards the door.

"But first, I need to use some transformation magic on you, so if we come across Akeno today or anyone else, they won't recognize you."

Shuri looks at me with strange determination and replies with a 'sure'.

Active – Transformation magic (All) – Lvl Max (Mp: Varies) – Allows the user or whatever the user touches (Living beings or objects) to be able to change into whatever the user desires.

I then touch Shuri on her shoulder and activate the skill. She is then enveloped in a puff of smoke, a few moments later the smoke dissipates and leaves a woman of the same height as Shuri, but with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing the same dress she had on.

"Alright, in this form I'll call you Jessica."

Shuri nods and moves away to look at a mirror. She looks like an outright foreigner.

…

After shopping

"Hehe, I'll need time to get used to this device."

Shuri says as she fiddles with the smartphone in her hands. We also had gone shopping for clothes too…since she didn't exactly have any other than what she was wearing…

I just smile at her

"I can teach you later if you want, Jessica-san."

"That would be very helpful~"

She cheerfully exclaims. We eventually get back to my home without incident, thankfully we didn't come across Akeno, or I would have been in an awkward situation.

It was around 5 p.m. in the day now, I help Shuri with some organization in her room. With that, an hour quickly passed.

"Jin, let me make dinner tonight."

She said with a tone suggesting I couldn't refuse, I chuckle at her and just agreed.

"Sure, thing Shuri. I'm sure I stocked up enough ingredients for you to experiment with."

Shuri just smiled and pulled her sleeves up with a determined and happy expression. She quickly made her way into the kitchen while I tidied up loose ends. After doing so I made my way to the dining room and watched her do her thing.

She certainly has a happy and light step to her. I wonder if Akeno is like that?  I thought to myself.

[Thinking of stealing her for yourself, partner?]

I could hear Ddraig chuckle to himself.

{Just, don't.}

Shuri notices me intently watching her and smiles.

"Is something the matter, Jin?"

She asks playfully. Yeah, definitely not a good idea. I chuckle again.

"No, not really, I was just wondering if Akeno would act the same way while cooking something, that's all."

I gave her an honest reply, I can't go around wanting to bang my own girlfriend's mother…right? Also, I'm in pretty good standing with the father, so might not wanna ruin that.

Shuri pauses for a moment and puts a finger on her chin.

"Hmmm, I did try teaching Akeno on how to cook when she was young, and she did trot around like a happy puppy."

After saying the last part Shuri chuckles to herself and carries on cooking. I just smile at the new info I was given.

"Alright then, I have a lot to look forward to."

I reply back and pull out my phone. A small bout of silence takes over the room as I look up random info on the web, but the silence was broken when Shuri started humming to herself.

The rest of the night was filled with the both of us eating dinner and talking about mundane things, as well as informing Shuri about the current state of the world, both normal and supernatural.

Around two hours before we hit the hay, I decided to try to teach Shuri more about the new modern Smartphone. Which…was a challenge in of itself, but was also enjoyed myself since her reactions were cute and amusing.
