Disclaimer: I don not own anything related to Highschool DxD or any other Anime/Manga that I will probaly take inspiration later on, I only own my OC and my original idea for this story.
This will be true to all following chapter.
Now that this is done with.
Enjoy the story.
Death
...
A state of being many mortal attempted to explain or comprehend. Some think it is simply the end, other due to their religions or belief, think it is a time of judgement or reincarnation.
In reality, it is can be a little of all of those things. Depending on the current mood of those that regulate it.
...
And now, one of the innumerable being that oversee the souls of the dead, is going to go throught that process again.
Where am I ?
...
Last thing I remember is passing away in my hospital bed due to some stupid cancer. Not that I am complaining of that. I managed to live past 80 despite not having an healthy life style. I expected to simply go to the afterlife, not whereever this place is.
...
When I died, I somehow think my conciousness was taken from my body. Just before my death, I saw somekind of hand made of light advancing toward me. Then my point of view changed when it finaly touched me, it was no longer centered in my eyes, but in some sort of glowing ball of purple light that now resided in the plam of said hand.
I figured it was my soul or something similar. As the hand started flowing toward the window and then the sky, I observed my familly and loved ones just one last time before whatever will happen next.
Having no real children of my own due to the passing of my husband in our late twenty. I was more than happy when my three siblings had two or three each. Seven nieces and nephews to spoil when they were kids, who were all at my death bed in the hospital along with their own childs and parents. All crying at my passing. It filled me with joy to know that I meant that much to them even though I was not an easy person to get along with.
Then after floating for a while, the hand just dropped me into the ocean, but instead of feeling the water like I expected, I was now in some kind of dark place. No idea where am I or why, I've been staying incapable of doing anything for the last 8 days 13 hours 35 minutes and 49 seconds, 50 now ... 51 ... 52 ...
How do I know this ?
How kind of you to ask, little voice in my head that totaly reassure me that I'm not starting to lose my sanity. Because the only thing that is not dark in this fucking place are glowing number right in front of my eyes that follow my vision everywhere. And it is the only thing I have to keep me sane, somewhat, that and sleeping.
Weird thing is that I can apparently, technically hibernate, I just have to think of a time and I just stop being concious. I don't know if I have dreams in this state, because the only time I used this function, it was only for 15 minutes and 48 seconds. Only because I said "wake me when the next hour start" and it did. Now tired of waiting I am going to do the only thing that will keep me sane.
...
"Wake me only when something that isn't the related to the passage of time happen here." And with that said, I began my rest.
I slowly awoke from my forced state of slumber, feeling as if not even a minute had passed for me.
Well at least I have an answer to my question. You don't dream in this state, or maybe I could have if I specified it, well too late to think about it, now let's look at this stupid timer.
...
6837 years 46 days 0 hours 19 minutes and 28 seconds.
...
Holy fucking shit ! I was out for nearly seven thousand years ! That's insane.
But I didn't had anymore time to ponder on that shocking revelation, as a bright flash of light when the timer for the seconds hit 42.
After recovering from being blinded by the light, I could see that I was now in a room, a pretty normal room, wooden floor, red wall and blue ceilling, not really my taste but that wasn't the center of my attention. Right in the middle of the room, there was a desk, and behind said desk, sat a women with pale skin, pitch black hair and entirely white eyes.
She looked at me with a kind smile and then said. "Ah. Hello, sorry for the slight delay, I am the one assigned to your reincarnation. Pleasure meet you."
Something in me just snapped when I heard her talk. I just began to yell at her. "Slight delay my ass ! I had to wait nearly seven millenia in that black place ! And all you have to say to me is "Sorry, I was late because reasons !" I don't know what the fuck this place is, but I demand a refund !"
"Oh. You are still sane. That's rare, but it is a good thing, not many mortal can retain a sane mind for that long, it will facilitate the process." She answered completely unbothered by what I exclaimed.
I was a little shocked and angered once again at her words. "What the hell ! You were expecting me to be insane when you got here ! I could only tollerate being in that place for a week, just fucking single week, before I all but begged the fucking timer to let me black out, which to my surprise it did !"
...
What the hell are complaining about, little voice in my head, I didn't had to tell you the exact details or the truth of how I discovered this ability.
"Well not that sane if you start talking to yourself." She said suddenly, drawing my attention to her once more.
"You can read my mind !" I exclaimed in surprise "Stay the hell out of there ! It's private !" I yelled once more.
To which she just shrugged her shoulder. "Meh, not my problem but okay. Back on topic before your start yelling again. I am in charge of your reincarnation, as such I will now explain to you the details of said process." she took a sip of a cup of coffee that just materialized right in front of me "The hell" "What ? Surprised by this little trick ? You shouldn't be after all that happenned to you." "Fair enough." hey if I can literaly fly away from my dying body then spend several millenia in nothing but darkness waiting for my apparent reincarnation, a little magic trick isn't really that farfetched.
"So, first I need to assign you a world to be reincarnated to. Do you have any preferences ? It could be one similar to your own, one with supernatural abilties or one that could be considered fictionnal in your old world. Make your choice as you can't take it back for a refund later." She said to me with a smirk on her face.
That last bit of relevant information definitely got my attention and curiosity "Fictionnal ? Shouldn't that be grouped with the supernatural ones ?" I asked for clarification.
"No, not necessirally. It refer to all fictionnal works that were created in your world, be it something like Big Bang Theory, Batman, Naruto or even Pokemon." So it can be any fictionnal work from Earth, which mean I can potentialy have some kind of future knowledge of where I'm going to end. While that was good information, the one that got most of my intention was the first thing she said.
"Created in my world ? Does that mean that any books, games, comics, cartoons, anime and whatever, created in other worlds belong to the first two categories ?"
As I said that she smiled wider than before "Yes that is correct. But is irrevelant to your situation, I believe we shou~" I quickly interrupted her before she could continue "Not really. If get involved in some kind of story, there will a story line for that story. Protagonist, Antagonist, Support cast, a timeline for said world and many things that I can't think at the top of my head. So I would like to avoid those kind of world if I could."
Instead of showing displeasure at my rude interruption, she just giggled for a moment before saying "My my. Smart aren't you. Unless you specify what kind of world you want to be, the choice will be random, if you don't specify a destination, I don't see how the technicalities of those category consern you. Now I believe it is time to choose your next destination. You can take your time, I won't rush you"
At that she grew silent, merely observing me, or probaly reading my thoughts. The fact that she just giggled again at those thoughts merely confirmed my suspicions. Anyway, I will definitely choose a fictionnal one, the question is which one to chose from all of the things I've watch or read in my life. When me and my husband were young we watched a lot of anime, and read twice as much manga and Light Novel.
I have a few candidate that quickly came to my mind, Pokemon would be a good one, especially if I specified a world like the anime or the game, more kid friendly and less dangerous for me. If I want to play it safe. I could try the Naruto world, as I really liked the show, but there is to much shady dealing and mistrust for other in that world to be worth enjoying at the fullest.
I then started a little debate in my head about what world I would be going to.
...
After several minutes, hours maybe, thinking about it, I've managed to reduce the number down to two. Fairy Tail and High School DxD.
Why those ones little voices in my ... damn I'm really going nuts.
As I was trying to say before my mental problem interfered, Fairy Tail is just a fun place to be from what I remember, a friendship bullshit fanservice anime with cool characters and magics. On the other hand DxD is much the same, but took it to it another degree, more perversion (at least around the main cast), more depth around the world and its factions and more danger for those unafilliated with them.
Why would I want to go there ? Simply because I don't want that much of an easy life, don't get me wrong, I want a good life, like I could get if I joined the Fairy Tail Guild. But I always loved to gamble in life, because I loved the thrill associated with it, the risk of losing big time if you screwed up, but not too much, I knew my limits back then.
Ok, it is decided then "I want to be reincarnated in the DxD universe, but I want it to be different from the one from my world, not too much mind you, but I want some kind of new spices to the delicious dish that await me."
She stared at me, giving me a deadpan look "That metaphor was aweful, but your request is possible, as you are not the first one who asked from something similar. There are countless instance of the same universe, so I just have to pick one that will satisfy your demands." Hey I resent that ! That was a good one ... Who am I kidding, even the voices in my head are booing at me. How sad is that.
"Now you will get to chose which race you wish to be born into, there is a lot of options to choose from, so once again, take your time." I replied near instanously though "I want to be a Human" "Huh ? So fast ! Don't you want to think more about it ?"
I merely shrugged my shoulder at that "No." I declared firmly "I want to be human so I can possess a Sacred Gear. I would miss big time if I can't get a sacred gear, especialy now of all time. Because I think the next thing you are going to ask me are what kind of bonus I would take to my new life, right ?"
Her eyes widened a little before simply replying in an amused tone "Yes that is indeed what we will talk about next. Since you have waited 6837 years you will get 6 bonus gift on top on you standart one, and since it was so close to seven I will allow you to attempt to persuade me to grant you one more after it, to see if you can potentially become good entertainment for the higher up or no."
While I frowned at that last piece of information, she made a screen, a keyboard and a mouse appear next to me. "In this terminal you will have access to all of the perks you can get for your next life, take a look." I had so much I wanted to question her about, but since I could have a potential 8th bonus to take for my reincarnation, I will try not to upset or bore her.
I browsed the Sacred Gear section , the Longinus portion of it first, first difference I've noticed, there are 16 Longinus in my version of DxD, 3 more than in canon, that in itself is pretty big change for the power balance of the world. I looked the one I didn't recognize in details.
Earth's Fiery Rage - High Tier Longinus:
Appearance: An orb about 5cm wide incased into the chest of the user near the collarbone,
when active Red and Brown(plus Orange when in Balance Breaker) magic line spread from it and form geometrical shape all over the user body
Third strongest Longinus, grant the user absolute control over the earth, fire and magma
Capable of altering landscape at levels only Zenith Tempest could hope to achieve
Those two Longinus are thought to be capable of bringing the Apocalypse if their users were to cooperate
It grant it's user a near immunity to high temperature
It also allow the user to change shape of metals since they belong to the earth, at least the non magical one
To this date, this gear had 11 users and only 2 were able to achieve Balance Breaker
One of those user managed to stop a rampaging user of Divine Dividing that lost herself to the Juggernaut Drive by burrowing her under a mountain
Holy Maker - Mid Tier Longinus:
Appearance: Fingerless Gloves on both hand with holy runes and crosses inscribed upon it
Allow the user to use his/her imagination to form Weapons/Armors/Tools/Gems/Metals inbued with Holy energy
Capable of creating holy weaponry en masse. This gear is highly coveted by the church.
The items created by this Longinus can sometime remain in the physical world indefinitevely
The more complex and powerfull the creations are, the more likely they are to disperse once they run out of mana.
The user can simply dismiss his/her creations regardless, though the user can't dismiss the works of past users
Gems and Metals created will not disperse no matter the situation, if they are used as ingredients for crafting/forging
To this date, this gear had 5 users and none were able to achieve Balance Breaker
Only one user belonged to the church. He created thousands of Holy sword for them, but less than a dozen still exist in the modern era
Void Blades - Low Tier Longinus:
Appearance: Two orned straight short sword about 90cm long
The sword allow the user to cut throught magic and matter like they were no resistance at all(except god tier weapons or armor), the blades are indestrutible and will never dull
Any wound suffered from its blade is slower to heal and permanetely reduce the magic reserve of the wounded, stealing said magical energy for the user to claim as his/her own
The extend of the reduction depend on the damage inflicted, the energy lost by the victim can be recovered normally by training the body back to where it was albeit at a slight faster rate than before
The energy gained by the user depend of the strenght of his/her opponent compared to him, gaining more agains't stronger opponent than agains't weakling
The user can't gain energy agains't an opponent he/she doesn't hold any grievance toward too
To this date, this gear had 18 users and 15 were able to achieve Balance Breaker
There were a case were twins each got one of the blade, the Longinus merged itself back together when one of the twin died
Wow, those Sacred Gear really are awesome. I can see definitely why they are said to be able to kill gods. I continued to browse the Gears thinking about what I could get. From all the normal ones, two of them got my attention.
Alchemist Wish
Appearance: Silver bracelet on both arm with several magic gems decorating it along magicals incriptions on the metal part of the Gear
Allow the user to alter the state and identity of matter, capable of changing lead to gold or iron to mithril for example
It can also change solids to gases or liquids
If used on magical artifacts/drawing/seal/etc, it can analyze and alter them and allow the user to store the knowledge in his/her mind
It is capable of alter the property of magic and magical artefact, like their element, changing fire into ice or a cursed weapon into a holy one
Most user of this gear died trying to alter an object or concept beyond their understanding or capabilities
Ring of the Harvest
Appearance: Gold ring with magical inscriptions all over it
Grant the user the abilty to create food and drink by using their magical energy and knowledge
The foods or drinks created this way, act as if they were the real deal, and grant what the original were supposed to
Does not possess a Balance Breaker, attempting to achieve it always result in the destruction of the Sacred Gear and with it, the death of the user
Oh yeah, that will be good, this is such a good combo, both for quality of life and combat capability.
With a good idea of what I want, I say out loud what I want. "For starter, I would like 3 Sacred gear" She look at me with a neutral expression on her face before asking "Aren't you a greedy one, I never said you were allowed to take multiple gear, maybe you plan to use your potential bonus here ?" I shake my head "Not on that, I plan to use it to merge the sacred gear into a new one." She raise an eyebrow at that "Oh. That is interesting, but keep in mind that you have to choose compatible gear or that won't work at all."
"Oh trust me, I choose quite well." I showed her what gears I wanted "A Longinus included as well ? You really are greedy, but I admit this quite an interesting proposition with those three gear. I will grant you your request. I am intrigued by what you will do with it." She typed on her terminal for a few minutes, before a pop-up named update showed on mine, I openned it to see what my new gear would look like.
HolyRing-WishMaker (Subspecies of Holy Maker) - High Tier Longinus:
Appearance: No change since the gears that compose it are compatible between each other
Possess the abilities of three different Sacred Gear
Allow the user to use her imagination to form Weapons/Armors/Tools/Gems/Metals inbued with any single magical property she want
Capable of using the user mana to create any magical object or construct she wishes, be it food, drink or a magical circle, usable by anybody, that create donuts as long as you feed it mana
It also work on spell, allowing the user to use directly her imagination and mana reserves to form and alter her own original spell or already existing spell, said process can be stored in the user mind to facilitate the creation of said new spell later on, the user still need to understand what she will do and how that will work instead of just wishing her magical power to do something like the devils
Only magical creation can potentialy disperse, non magical creation will remain forever (food/iron/wood/etc)
Capable of analizing any magical artifacts/drawings/seals/etc below God Tier and storing theirs blueprints in the user mind for later use
Can use its own creations to craft better ones that will not disperse as easy or at all, process take a long time and require several magical formation to be done right
Due to Ring of the Harvest being one of the component of the gear, Balance Breaker is not atteainable for this subspecies
This subspecies is only possible because her host will be born with seperate 3 Sacred Gear
The Gear will stay that way even if her user die, lose the gear or the gear is somehow sent back to the System in Heaven
*Due to admin interference; the user can't have this Sacred Gear extracted from her*
"Great. I will love using this thing." I was really happy that I can have it, it will make my life so much easier. Though I am a little dissapointed that I won't get a Balance Breaker, but with all of the new abilties it gained, we could argue that it is already in a permanent Balance Breaker state.
"Now that you have your Sacred Gear, you only have 4 gifts left to choose, make your choice." I noded to her and browsed the other sections of the terminal.
After several minutes I spotted one that was interesting, it basically allowed a grace period of 6 years were I will be guaranteed safety from the supernatural radar. I took it 2 time for safety sake, it will give me 12 years to train my magic and Sacred Gear.
The next one I took granted me an accelerated growth rate for pretty much everything, at a pretty decent rate too ,20 time better than normal but less than the specialized ones who were at 150 time better than normal. Still pretty much awesome, because I confirmed that magic and elemental magic were stackable, granting me a 400 better than normal growth rate if I wanted to learn ice magic for example. Overall I was far better with it than with the specialized ones.
For the last one, I decided to chack the mentor section. Having someone that could teach me for a few year would be far better than doing it alone and could even grant me an easy access to one of the faction. Even better is the bonuses to growth each individual could potentially grant me. if I wanted to specialize into one kind of magic, I better make that choice now so I could take the correct mentor.
But after browsing a little, I saw one entry in this section that nearly had me have an heart attack. An entry that I coudn't ignore.
Mentor choice - Ouroboros Dragon, Ophis : 50 time the normal Mana capacity and Magic growth rate, 30 time the normal growth rate for Elemental Magic, 20 time the normal Physical strenght and endurance growth rate, raise your natural affinity for draconic,void and space magic over time while training with her, 50 time more than normal growth rate for Draconic/Void/Space magic, (Disabled)*slowly gaining divinity the more time is spent with her*(Disabled)
Holy Fucking Shit ! I can do so much with it, I can change the plot so much if I can meet Ophis before she can form the Khaos Brigade. And those bonuses will help me so much later on.
My total growth rate if I wanted to learn elemental draconic magic is 20(magic aspect of base bonus)x20(elemental magic aspect of base bonus)x20(draconic aspect of base bonus)x50(Ophis perk)x30(Ophis perk again)x50(Ophis perk once more) for a grand total of 600 million time the normal growth rate a human would have to learn said magic. If I were to just learn fire magic it would be 20x20x30x50 for a grand total of 600.000 time more than a normal human.
It seems a lot, but we need to keep in mind that in this world, human are far weaker than other races, especialy magic wise, if said bonus were applied to, let's say an actual dragon. Said dragon would become the next Dragon God in less than a decade. I don't even know if it is possible for an human who doesn't possess a dragon based sacred gear to actually use draconic magic.
Beside all it boost is the growth rate of my future magic, not the potency of it when I will use it.
With this one done, I completed my selection, a pretty good one if you were to ask me, not too much overpowered for this universe.
...
What !? If you think that's bullshit go look at Hyoudou. He basically went from trash human to godlike strenght wise in less than two year in canon, only using his pervetness and the power of boobs and frienship. While other being who were 100 time his age and trained a majority of their life, were not even half as strong as him. I can definitively bet my next reincarnation, if I get to have one, that he will still be stronger than me by the time he will have to fight Trihexia despite training far less than I will be.
Stupid OverPowered Boosted Gear.
...
"Hey I'm all good with my perks. What's next ?" I asked my supervisor.
"Now you get to choose when timeline wise you wish to be born. You have to specify an event, in which you can add or subtract 3 year for your birth."
Hmm ... tough choice, but not that much. I kinda want to be close to the canon cast, even if I probably won't interact much with them, so I've made my choice.
"I wish to be born 3 year before Rias Gremory." That should be good timeline wise. I would be 21 when canon start if I manage to survive until that point in time.
"Wish granted. Now all we need to do is send you to your new life. Unless you have some more correction you want to make."
"Can I make some suggestion as to what I'm going to look like ?" she nodded "I would like to have an hair and eye color that isn't natural in my old world, body wise, I wish to be on the small side like before, around 160/165 when I'm an adult and please make my breast not bigger than B cup, I had E cup last time, I don't want to have backpain again, at least not that soon in my new life."
She laughed a little. "Haha, that's not a problem. It will be done easely." she calmed herself before making a portal appear next to me "Now all you have to do is to step throught the portal to begin your new life, but before that, I'll let you know that you will only regain control of your body at 5 year of age. Your perks will take effect the moment you regain control of your new life, you will also regain your memory at that moment."
Great so that mean I will be 17 by the time my life can be at risk, unlike like I thought at the beginning were my grace period would end at my 12th birthday.
"At that point you will recieve information on your situation followed by instructions on how to proceed in order to meet your selected mentor, Ophis. After that you will no longer recieve any assisstance or contact from us until your next death in the event that you life prove to be entertaining."
Not wanting to react to that I began to march toward the portal before saying " Well I hope this new life will be interesting." then walked right into the portal.
...
"I wonder how you will fare in your new life mortal."
...
"I will be watching you from time to time little mortal, so I hope you don't dissapoint me."
...
"Now that this one is dealt with, I need to bring in the next one, 5733 more to go and I will finally get my million year vacation."
...
With that said, she waved her hand, returning the place to what it was before the last soul came here. Another wave of her hand and a new one appeared in the room, and like she had done billons of time before, she said while wondering what kind of reaction she would get this time.
"Ah. Hello, sorry for the slight delay, I am the one assigned to your reincarnation. Pleasure meet you."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH !" yelled the new soul before mumbling incomprehensible words.
"Great, another crazy one, they always are the funnier ones to work with. How will I be able to screw up your next life. The last one didn't fell for my lack of provided information. Fufu, let's the fun time begin. Hope the boss will like this new piece of entertainement." thought the being in charge of reincarnation before going back to her job.
The moment I took control of my body, a sudden surge of information came to my head.
Who am I ? A 5 year old girl from France, who was living with her parents, until last week when my Sacred Gear awakened after I wished for unlimited burger of all thing. My parents watching all that decided that I was some kind of demon and basically threw me out of their houses. Fucking bastards. I will have my revenge later, when I can fight by myself.
What am I going to do though? For now, I will just walk down this road. According to what I need to do, I just have to walk this road for at least a few more hours before Ophis will show up. Easy enough.
I said out loud "What could possibly go wrong" unknowingly triggering Murphy's Law.
POV - Ophis
5 days ... That is how long I have been following that strange human girl. She possess a strange Sacred Gear, at first I thought it was just one of those Longinus ones, but it is different, as if other gears were merged onto it. Something I have never seen before.
It was interresting. It has been a few dozen centuries since my fight with Baka-Red. During this time, I have watched the humans and the rest of the world. They are so loud, it is irritating. The human that possess Sacred Gear always live interresting lives, and something tell me that she will be no exception to this rule.
What to do ? I have been asking myself this question all this time, while continuing my observation of the young human girl.
After all this time watching the different factions, I have started to wonder if I couldn't form one with the goal to fight Baka-Red and free my home from him. To do that I will probably have to recruit a lot of different fighter, a lot won't be trustworthy, probably requiring me to gift them a snake or two to buy their loyalty. Seeing this little girl with all this untouched potential, gave me another idea.
If the factions of this noisey world can bring children into their grasp at a young age, then taking care of them to ensure heir loyalty, then so can I. With her strange gear and the magic she is passively emiting from her body, I guess that given a few decades she will be strong enough to help me, at least a little.
...
It is decided. I will take care of this girl, a first in my long life. Trying to recruit other people to my cause can wait after I am done with her training, most of those I am considering are ageless so it's not like I am on a time limit.
Now, how will I approach her ? I can simply walk and take her with me, but it won't have the desired effect of granting me her trust and loyalty. Which form should I assume when talking to her ? I am currently in the body of an old man. I have used this body for nearly two centuries now, I have grown a little attached to it, but no matter, it is time to change form once again.
I began to change my body, creating myself a physical body this time, it had the appareance of a pale skinned and black haired little girl around 10 year of age. I want the girl to feel safe when first looking at me, not being wary of an old man. That form was meant to represent my wisdom and knowledge from how long I have lived, but recently the humans have started to tell theirs childrens to not trust stangers, espespecialy older men. Odd, I will never understand their thought process.
Now that this is done, all I need to do is getting close to her, but how to proceed is the next question. Before I could think too much about it, an opportunity appeared on its own. Two car stopped near the little girl, four people started walking to encircle her. They were all average human, no trace of supernatural influence on them at all, I got a little closer so I could listen to what will be happening, as I wasn't used to opperating this new body, I couldn't use my enhanced sense, for now.
"Catch the girl ! She will make a good prize for the boss when we get back. We can even maybe get a bonus from such a young catch." said the one that appear to be the commander """Yes sir""" replied the rest. The girl started to show some panic on her face, understable from her weak perspective. "Stay back !" she yelled at them.
"Come on little girl, you will come with us. It is your fate so stop struggling, I don't want to harm a little kid more than necessary." one of them proclaimed, with a disturbilingly lewd expression on his face as he got closer to her. Of all the different species, humans are the ones I understand the less. How can they be so aggressive and cruel toward a child of their own kind. Us dragons will never act that way even toward the hatchling of our most hated ennemies. Even Draig and Albion would take care of their nemesis children if the other were in a situation that would require it.
As the man got closer to the girl, I prepared myself to step in to make a good first impression on her "I said stay back !" at her shout, I sensed her energy flaring up. Is she using her Sacred Gear ? Interresting, maybe I will watch a little more. "Stay right were you are little brat, it will only hurt a little." said the one close to her while continuing to walk toward her. When he got close enough to her, he attempted to grab her, the girl tried to punch him, but as her fist got closer to the man, her gear .. gears manifested themselves, along with 3 swords that impalled the man. Those sword were what caught my attention, one was a weak holy sword, another was a weak sword of ice and the last one seemed to be normal, but upon further inspection of its aura, revealed that it seemed stuck to the body, as if it wasn't meant to be separated from it's victim.
Interesting. This Longinus isn't supposed to allow creation of weapon other than the holy ones. Maybe it is because of one of her other gears ? I know that she can use one of them to conjure sustenance, this one probably allow her to alter her own creation, maybe more than that.
"Gaaaaah !Y-Y-You little bitch." crude words for one that is going to die. Why does lesser beings always curse so loudely when harmed? He tried to punch the girl, she yelled once more "AAAAAH !"
So loud, I am starting to question my choice about her.
The swords impaled in the man started moving, and in less than a second he was cut in pieces, that fell on the ground, lifeless limbs. "Ah ah ah." She panted hard, I guess that was exhausting for a girl her age. Time to step in.
As I thought that, the three other male panicked, horrified by what they just watched. "Pierre ! You fucking monster ! Screw selling you to the boss ! I will avenge Pierre you fucking witch ! You hear me ! I am going to kill you !" the commander yelled. Pathetic, how can he be so shocked about this kind of violence when he was willing to kidnap her to sell her, he should know that it was a risk of his proffession. The only one that can be excused from panicking right now is the girl. Human usually freak out when they make their first kill, but she seem to be unafected by it. Did she not realized what she had just done or did she just ignore it for the time being?
"I am not a monster ! Just because I have this thing that allow to create other things doesn't mean I am a mosnter !" she yelled trying to argue back.
"Shut up you witch!" said one of the male, as he and the other two took guns out of their pockets and taking aim at my prize. "Die !" Not on my watch human.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
3rd person POV
After emptying all of theirs magazine on me they all realized what happened.
Right before their eyes stood a girl that wasn't here before, her right arm was in the air and from it some kind of energy shield extended, protecting the two girl.
"I will not let you harm this girl humans. She is under my protection from now on." declared the black haired girl in a monotone voice, as if doing that was just a chore to her.
"Shit another one. reload and put that bitch down !" announced loudly one of them as he tried to do what he just ordered to his colleague.
But before any of the three men could do anything, the newcommer just waved her arm. Nine ball of energy suddenly appeared in the air. Just as quickly as they appeared, they flew toward the mens, three for each one of them, exploding on contact, killing them instantaneously.
The younger girl stared at what she has just seen with wide eyes and gaping mouth. She couldn't seem to believe what just happened in the last 5 minutes. Not that anyone could blame her.
The newcommer turned toward the young girl, staring at her with a neutral expression on her face, not saying a word to the girl she just saved.
Tired of this akward silence, the young one tried to start a conversation.
"Th-Thank you . Thank you for saving me." she hesitantly said to her savior, with a bush on her cheeks while panting and trying to catch her breath.
Tilting her head a little, as if she was confused by what she had just said, the older girl replied "Why are you thanking me? I just said you were under my protection. Isn't it normal for me to protect you ?" announced the black haired girl, as if her actions were completely normal.
"B-But I didn't know that before miss ~?" answered meekly the little girl "Ah. Indeed if other people don't know of your affiliation it can be problematic. My name is Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon. What is your little one ?"
"D-D-Dragon ?" stuttered the girl "Yes. I am indeed a Dragon, the strongest one to live on this world." to prove her words, two draconic wing extended themselves behind her back "See . That is how my wings look like when I am in human form. Now I asked you a question, and I am expecting an answer."
"..." The girl muttered something "Hmm ? Speak louder girl, I can't hear you." replied the now named Ophis " I don't know if I can use my name." this seemed to genuinely surprise the dragon girl "Why ? It is your name isn't it ? Why can't you use it ?" inquired Ophis
...
After a moment of hesitation, the young girl replied " When they were shouting at me, mom and ... no , my blood mother and father said that I am just a monster not deserving the name of their daughter, I don't want to use the name those people gave me." declared the girl.
...
Ophis frowned at this information. She may not care much about other races or people in general, but as a dragon, she too have her pride, and for a dragon, its name is one of the thing it will protect at all cost, because it represent what they are. For her, to hear that the girl that is now under her own protection was denied her own name, by her own parent no less, put her in a sour mood.
"I see ... Do you wish for me to grant you a new name ?" While it may not seem special, for dragonkind being offered a name or title by another is a big deal, more in that case, were she, Ophis, is offering one to a human girl.
At those words, the little girl blushed a little, trying to avoid eye contact with Ophis "I-I wouldn't mind one, ..." she answered, but saying that last part too low for ophis to hear properly. "What is it ?" inquired Ophis "I-It's just that ... If you gave me a new name, won't that make you my new mom ?"
With those few words, the unnamed girl managed to do something that no being in existence managed to do. She made the Ouroboros Dragon, The Dragon God, Ophis completely speechless, eye wider than she ever had, and a gaping mouth all the while making weird noise of incomprehension. A first in the long history of this world.
The young girl giggled a little at this weird display. Reacting to the noise, Ophis tried to recompose herself, then thought about what she had just said to the young girl and their situation. She plan to gain the support of this girl in the future, for that she need her trust and loyalty. What better way to gain that in the long run than acting like her mother ... no she won't do that, parenthood is sacred for dragon, but she can become something similar to the girl.
"No. I won't be your new mother." at those words, the girl visibely grew sadder by the second, but "However. I can be your new sister. Is that alright with you ?" at those words the little girl expression relaxed a lot, even growing a smile on her face. "Yes. I would like that. Now your my new big sister, big sis Ophis."
For some unknow reason, at least to her, Ophis smilled a little at those words, she even felt some kind of warmth in her chest, near were her heart is located. She didn't understood what this feeling was, but she wasn't bothered with it. She observed her new little sister, weird concept as it is.
She wore normal clothing for summer in France, a light purple T-shirt with small sleaves, black and red pants and black shoes. Her hair and eyes were of the same color, a light purple just a few shade darker that her top. She was overall a pretty cute girl, but so are all child regardless of species in Ophis opinion, children are the treasure and future of a species after all, and Dragons are know to protect their treasure.
...
Maybe that is the reason why she had those strange feelings in her chest, she had already recognized this girl as her, so she is already feeling possessive toward her.
Anyway, after thinking about a name for several seconds, Ophis then annouced the name of her sister "Lavenza. That will be the name that I, Ophis, will grant upon you, my sister. Be proud of it like any dragon would be, as your name will be the first thing people will fear and respect about you. Protect it with all your might from those that will try to smurdge filth upon it as it more important than any treasure you hoard in your life. I named you after the flower that bore almost the same color as your eyes and hair, the flower know as Lavende here in France, it as much of a part of yourself than your body or soul are. Grow up to be worthy of it Flower Girl" smilling upon hearing her new name, the now named Lavenza hugged Ophis, much to her surprise "Thank you big sis, I love it, it is such a pretty name. Thank you."
While it does not seem special at first glance, the priviledge of being named and/or titled by Ophis herself, plus being taken as her sister, is for the Dragons the equivalent of speaking in good term, like friends, daily to God for a devout follower of the church. A pretty big deal.
POV - Lavenza
That went far better than what I expected. I somehow managed to get Ophis as a sister figure. Overall a pretty good start, she even gave me a new name, one that I found pretty cute too.
I was irritated when I couldn't remember both of my names, the one of this body and the one my old life. It is a pretty good thing that I managed to come up with up this story, thought it isn't really a lie, as the parent of this body did all of what I described except denying me my name, but I guess that saying "I no longer recognize you as my daughter you monstreous witch !" is pretty much saying that.
"What do you wish to do now Lavenza ?" Ophis asked me. Quick think of something that will potentially allow me to grow closer to Ophis, something upon which she can relate to ... Oh, I think I got it. "I don't really know. I-I lost my home and familly, I have nowhere to go to, but now thanks to you I have a new home and familly big sis." I said with the biggest smile this body could make.
Ophis blushed a little before getting a frown on her face. I made the expressionless Ophis blush. God bless the cuteness of little girl. I had more than 50 year of experience recieving those looks, so I know how effective they can be. But what made her frown from what I said.
"I too no longer have a home." oh shit, right, she got kicked out of the Dimentionnal Gap, I forgot about that part teehee ... "I was kicked out of my home by Baka-Red" Baka-Red? Seriously ? "I have been wondering this world for several dozen centuries now, I searched for a place were I could get my silence back, but nothing is comparable to what I had before." She said in a low sad voice that made my heart ache a little in reaction. Now is the time to strike.
"Then let's make a new home just for you sis." I exclaimed cheerfully, she looked at me strangely, as if she didn't understand what I just said "If you got kicked out and can't go back to what you liked about your home, then just find somewhere similar to it, and if you can't then let's just build it together and live inside it." I continued to talk cheerfully.
She was a little taken by surprise by my words "Making a new home ? From scratch ? I never considered this option. I always searched for a place similar to my home, which I never found." She smilled at me, SMILLED at me, Ophis. "Thank you for the idea Flower Girl Lavenza. This will be what I will try to do from now on."
"Just call me Lavenza or Flower Girl, it is weird to hear it fully from you big sis. And what were you trying to do before?" I asked really curious about that one, to see if she already got the idea of the Khaos Brigade or not "I planned to ask the leaders of different faction to lend me their aid to kick Baka-Red out of the Gap so I could regain my peace and silence. I protected you because I thought you would grow to become someone that could help me do it."
Ah, so that is why she defended me, she just tryed to recruit me while I was young. And by the sound of it, she didn't had the idea of the KB yet, she just planned to have official help. She would have probably be denied by all she would have asked before she had the idea to form her organization of misfit. But now I had to ask her some question about the supernatural, since I am supposed to be clueless about it.
"Big sis ? Can you tell me more about those factions, that sound interesting." she just looked at me before saying "Okay, I will do that"
She opened a portal before saying to me "Follow me Lavenza, it is not home, but it serve as a place where I can rest in this world." I folowed after throught the portal. We ended up in some kind of cabin in the middle of some woods, though the trees are red with black leaves, so I don't think I'm on Earth anymore. Underworld maybe ?
"Sit Flower Girl" I did just that, she then proceeded to explain to me all she could about the supernatural.
This the beggining of my story, of how I got into this new world and new life.
The start of the journey of Lavenza, the sister of Ophis, the Flower Magical Girl (fucking Serafall)
(AN)
Well this is it. This mark the end of my first chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did when I made it. If you did please tell me your thought in a review.
Don't hesitate to follow or favorite if you feel like it.
I will answer a few question that I know will probably be asked:
- No she won't be part of issei's harem, if I decide to put her with someone, OC or not, it will be only one person
- I do this story only for fun when I'm out of my job so don't expect more than one update per week normaly, two or three if I have more free time than usual.
- Even if you put a few good suggestion on what the story could be on reviews or PM, don't expect them to be implemented, I do this story for me and a few friend first. I only share it on FanFiction just because I know at least a few of you will like it.
- I won't put answers to reviews on the chapters because I feel like it is a cheap way to boost the word count of the fic. If there is one thing I dislike on this site, it's all those story, regardless of their individual quality that have more than 50% of their chapter being either answer to reviews or Author Note.
With that said, I wish you a good day.
