Disclaimer: I don't own Coiling Dragon or Highschool DxD. On a side note, I would like to thank RWX and the translators from Baka-tsuki for bringing us the translations of these works.
Since ancient times, there have always been stories of legendary creatures with power that was enough to shake the world. As ages pass, these stories may change, with parts added or lost to time, but the legends remain. Most stories also go on to say how the descendants of these creatures are gifted with the same, albeit weaker, powers as their ancestors. Yet, what most stories fail to mention is how these legendary beasts came into being. The answer? They were birthed by the Universe itself. However, the birth of a beast like that may not always be as earth-shaking or awe-inspiring like natural disasters; it could be sudden, silent and subtle as a summer's breeze, felt, but always ignored. Or it could be an event as insignificant as a leaf dropping in some obscure corner of the world. It was like this that one such monster was born into the world. It was like this that one such beast was born.
It was a quiet night in a mountain forest. Nothing was known of the new beast until a weak mewl rang out into the night. It could be fate or luck, but no predators were around to prey on the newly-born kitten. It was here and then that the first Suanni Lion in the universe took its first breath.
This is a cross-over between Coiling Dragon and Highschool DxD, but DxD will be the main verse. The story starts around 1000 BC, in China and the main character will be a Suanni Lion like those from CD. The only one (at the current moment of planning) to use the cultivation system from CD will be the main character, though that could change in the future. I know that our real-world history has it that the Suanni was a child of the dragon, but I feel that being another world, our real-world history may not always apply. Also, despite the name of this fic, the main character will not ever "devour the heavens". From CD, this was the official title for all Suanni Lions.
This is my first fanfic. I could say that I hope all of you will go easy on me and all that, but I will be honest: Writing this is a hobby for me, one that actually ranks quite low on my list of hobbies. If you ever follow this, expect long waiting times (several months to even years) between each update, and there is also a high chance that this could be abandoned. If anyone wants to take this idea, go ahead; I don't expect to finish this fic, though I won't mind posting my planned storyline so everyone knows how it could go or end. Lastly, thank you very much for reading this. Feel free to review and give me your feedback.
Tentative power levels for CD to DxD:
Saint level - Normal High-class devil
1/2-star Fiend - High High-class devil
3-5 star Fiend- Low/Normal Ultimate class
6/7-star Fiend - Normal/High Ultimate class
Commander - Between high Ultimate to being among the strongest (within top 50 of the DxD verse)
Paragon - Among the strongest in the entire Dxd verse
