Hello there, Skylinemaster here with another fic, In Another Life.

The thought came to my head at work, and like most other fics, they take root until I write about them.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from High School DxD


The multiverse. The theory that there are an infinite number of parallel universes existing, each a bit different than the next one. A person wasn't born in this one, a marriage collapsed faster than it should have in another one, and a war broke out in yet another.

The story brings us to Japan, or should I better yet say, Japans. The tale of two Japans, and ultimately the fate of the multiverse.

In one, an utterly normal life. A mundane life, no supernatural elements at all. No Angels, no Devils, no Monsters. No Heaven, no Hell, just nothingness after death.

In another, arguably the most important universe of them all. Here, a battle would take place that would decide the freedom of all the universes in existence.

But let's go back to the first one, and look at three students. These students are all male and attend Kuoh Academy. Two of them are utterly unimportant in one universe, but the third one is the savior of all life in the universe.

Or at least he would be if we were talking about the second universe.

The names of these students you ask?

Matsuda Kanehara.

Motohoma Hayama.

Issei Hyoudou.

In another life, Matsuda would be known as the Sexual Harassment Paparazzi. In this life however, he'd be known as the Flash of Kuoh, the fastest person on the Kuoh Academy Track and Field team and the man who would be Captain of the Japanese Olympic Track and Field team.

In another life, Motohoma would be known as the Three Size Scouter. In this life however, he'd be known as the Wizard of Kuoh, an engineering marvel whose inventions help enhance the world.

In another life, Issei would be known as the Red Dragon Emperor, Savior of Kuoh, Harem King, and an endless amount of other granted titles. In this life however, he'd be known as…..Wait, what would he be known as? Ah yes, just an utterly unremarkable and average teenager. A leaf in the wind student, someone who graduates high school, goes to a local college, and becomes a salaryman.

These are their stories, in another life.


Hey, hope you liked this. This is going to be a short fic as far as I've planned out so far. Probably going to have no more than six chapters.

Please follow, favorite, and review.

Until next time, Skylinemaster out.
