A High School DxD story- Eesheer IBIB

by Inv Junior- Gigantophis Form

In a universe where God is dead and the three factions of devils, angels, and fallen angels are in an uneasy truce of sorts; Rias Gremory's peerage and the rest of this world are about to find out God's not as dead as they believed. They should've known that an omnipotent deity could never truly be killed, but when did God turn into such a... da fuck?

1. Chapter 1

Author's Notes: Howdy do ladies and jets, Omniarch is here once more with a brand-new story for you all that I'm really excited for. I just recently watched the Anime series known as High School DxD and after getting more hooked on it than any TV series I've watched in recent years I just had to write a Fanfiction on it. True to all my stories this series will feature a Godlike variation of this particular universe and some of its characters; it will also feature an OC as the main character so if that's not the kind of thing you guys like then maybe don't read this story.

The main pairing will be Asia Argento/OC since I can honestly say she's my favorite character in the entire series, and since I don't like Issei much as a main character even though I've grown to respect him more as the series progresses. I just feel that Asia is too good for someone like him, and though the OC I have planned isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination… his perversion is toned down compared to Issei.

Now, for those of you wondering… here is a list of God tiers used in my story in order from weakest to strongest.

Omnipotence Nexus Member: Totality/Omega Omnisphere Manipulation of a single Omega Omnisphere. Unstable, uncontrollable ZOF Mastery within a sphere of control limited to their indigenous Totality… requires the use of Logic Manipulation; use of this power is extremely dangerous and the bigger the changes they implement the greater the backlash. Powerless outside of their indigenous Omega Omnisphere as the connection to their Omnipotence Nexus is broken.

Zenith Omnidony/Lowest ZOF Tier: Nigh or fully omnipotent control of two or more Omega Omnispheres within their indigenous Omni-Totality. Can still achieve ZOF Mastery through combining their ZOF Energy and Logic Manipulation and it is still totally unstable, but they are not confined to a single Omega Omnisphere and can gain total mastery over an ever-increasing number of Omniverses every Planck instant. Their other ZOF enhanced powers outside of Logic Manipulation cap out when at the ZOF Prodigy tier… meaning they attain nigh omnipotent control over the Omni-Totality itself.

Zenith Omnidonae/ZOF Prodigy Tier: Nigh Omnipotent Control over the infinite Omega Omnispheres that make up their indigenous Omni-Totality; under normal conditions they can't surpass this limit and are virtually powerless against the tier above them, but the amount of ZOF Mastery they can achieve by combining their energy with their Logic Manipulation rivals that of even the stronger masters. They are only ever truly powerless in a ZOF Blind Spot or outside of their indigenous Omni-Totality. Blind Spots can only be created by Masters and Grandmasters.

Zenith Omnidonae/ZOF Master Tier: ZOF Masters have metapotent control over their entire Omni-Totality and in rare cases even multiple Omni-Totalities. Can wield all the power of the ZOF and manipulate it to achieve any desired effect; they can enhance their ZOF Energy and wield it at an endlessly self-transcendent, meta-omnipotent level. Unlike Prodigies, they are impossible to render powerless even when taken outside of their Omni-Totality, and only fear the Anti ZOF Masters that remain the only beings in existence that can kill them.

Anti ZOF Masters: Masters of the Anti ZOF, which is a set of cancerous miasma that eat away at the ZOF Energy of the three Trans Omni-Totalities and everything and everyone in them. Soulless, emotionless slaves of ZIB IB; they feel and fear nothing aside from an insatiable hunger for ZOF energy and the Zenith Omnidonae it resides in. They eat ZOF Energy and all other forms of power/energy and Godhood and convert it into their own Anti ZOF Energy reserves; which are naturally a lot stronger than all but the mightiest ZOF Masters. They're capable of consuming entire Omni-Totalities and utterly destroying them in a single night. Anti ZOF Masters wield the power to manipulate entire Omni-Totalities at a time; the strongest ones can manipulate a near infinite number of them.

ZOF Grandmasters: The tier that the Creators of the ZOF and Anti ZOF respectively are in; ZOF Grandmasters are by far the highest God tier I will ever use in my stories, and when holding nothing back they can defeat the combined might of all the other tiers just by wanting it… without the slightest effort. Still need to be careful with Anti ZOF Energy somewhat though they're far more immune to it than any other tier; ZIB IB controls all the Anti ZOF Masters so they're afforded protection by a Grandmaster and aren't afraid to attack one in any case.

Hopefully that'll clear up some stuff for you guys lol, now… with that out of the way; shall we begin? Anyone who has read the premise of this story and likes it so far is welcome to join me in a world where literally nothing is impossible; the world of the ZOF that I've created. I promise I will do my absolute best to make this a story you'll never forget.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my OC main character; nor do I make any profit off this whatsoever so don't sue lol.

A High School DxD Story

Book 1: Eesheer IBIB's grand changes

Chapter 1: Canon Deviation for the fucking win

To think that what started out as the best day of Issei's young life could turn so sour so fast. For reasons unknown that he thanked whatever gods of perversion for; he'd landed a smoking hot babe by the name of Yuma who confessed to liking him and wanting to go out on a date with him. A part of Issei felt like an absolute fool; as he laid there dying in a pool of his own blood at the local park… he came to the realization that no man was that lucky. He should've known Yuma had something bigger planned for him, but he couldn't for the life of him think of any reason why she would want to kill him… all he could think about in his final moments was the crimson hair and the devilish, angelic beauty who danced in his steadily vacating vision.

Why couldn't he have figured out that Yuma was a fake? He knew the reason why but surely he would've questioned his chances of landing a girl like her if he hadn't thought with his meat and two veg at the time. Now he was going to die, and all he could do was think about how he would try to do better if he managed to somehow get a second chance at this. His vision was so dim at this point he could hardly see anymore, and he couldn't move a muscle due to not having any strength left; so he was unaware of the fact that he had company at the moment and that someone had popped onto the scene quite unexpectedly.

That someone in question was a young man appearing around 17-years of age but with a face that was strangely timeless. He had light brown hair, perfectly tanned skin, sharply chiseled, elvish features, and iridescent amber eyes. His most notable feature however… was his deep green trench coat hanging over top of his lime green long sleeve tee-shirt, with a blown-up version of the troll face meme on the chest, and the letters EIB IB etched into the skin on his forehead… as though branded and tattooed there at the same time.

His face was set in a neutral mask when he happened upon a dying Issei on a whim while simply stopping in this Homo Sapient-inhabited universe for some Japanese cuisine and some gloriously spicy peppers. He had just come out from some all-you-can-eat-sushi-buffet place after trying some rice pudding and other stereotypical Japanese stuff. He only recently decided to take a casual walk around town when he randomly spotted an angel flying off into the sky with black-feathered wings, and the obvious scent of freshly spilt blood wafting through the air in her wake.

"Fast-forward to the present, and here I am at the scene of a crime or attempted murder. Now, the only question remains is whether or not I should get my awesome-ass-self involved in this." Eesheer finished the description set by the paragraph above aloud, a cocky smirk on his face upon breaking the fourth wall and interacting with some unknown audience in the process.

"Okay, decision weighing time; I can move on from this and pretend I never saw anything like that fallen angel bitch or whatever she was… potentially move on and never get involved in this universe's affairs. Or I can mess with the powers that be and fuck around with the continuity of this place to the point where I become the ultimate anomaly and wrench in everyone's plans… yeah, I tried to weigh those decisions evenly but I think we all know which I'm going to choose. Let's fuck with the canon timeline of this place and render the continuum unrecognizable; oh, I love getting involved with places like this, and a femme fatale with wings?! I can just tell this place will be all kinds of fun to screw around with!" Eesheer declared with an overzealous zeal, pumping his fist into the air at having found a place to settle down and muck around for a bit.

With that decision made in all haste, Eesheer made his way closer to the dying man on the ground. "Okay, time for a little resurrection action if he's already dead, and the Lord said unto Lazarus… 'Lazarus, come forth,' but Lazarus tripped and came fifth. Man, this is some straight-up Jesus shit I'm pulling, but I can't let this poor bastard go out like this. I mean, come on… that black-winged angel bitch ran him through with something. Not exactly what I'd call an ideal first date… though I do wonder if he did something to piss her off. Still, nobody should die a virgin… that's not a fate I'd wish on my worst enemies." Eesheer declared passionately as some kind of paper flew out of the human's pocket of its own accord… causing the green clad man to pause as he sensed another presence taking an interest in the boy.

He was mildly relieved that they didn't seem to have malicious intent… though he'd hang back and keep an eye on things just in case. He hadn't even been here for an hour and though he sensed relatively strong supernatural forces all throughout this universe… he had mostly tuned it all out in favor of checking the sights and sounds of this place. Now though, his interest was as horribly aroused as his one-eyed wonder worm had ever been, and he stood by obscured completely from all forms of perception outside those of his own kind, just as some circle or crest appeared in the air where a moment ago there had been none. It was crimson in color and not dissimilar to the color of the human's blood.

Sensing an impending form of instantaneous or near instantaneous transportation; Eesheer watched with widened eyes as an unbelievably gorgeous woman with crimson red hair materialized in the air, standing afloat on her magic circle next to the dying boy. "Muy Caliente!" Eesheer whispered in sheer reverence and exclamation. He'd seen some pretty gorgeous redheads in his time… namely Misty Allyson IB and Serena McIntyre IB… though the latter's was more pink than red, but this girl was as beautiful as either of them and both of them had a ZOF Master's divine physical perfection. Her bust size, her perfectly symmetrical measurements, and her enviable hourglass figure was causing Eesheer's inner Sex God to stir and writhe with tingling pleasure inside him.

He heard her speak in a strong, slightly dominatrix-type voice that made his Anaconda twitch in his pants slightly. "I have come. You're the one who summoned me, are you not? Since death is upon you, I will gladly take you in." She started talking to the dying human, very clearly not human herself as Eesheer watched in rapture and slight trepidation; he sensed no evil intent from her but that didn't mean he was happy standing by watching someone die when he could do something about it. He observed with keen interest as a pair of wings sprouted from her back, ones that differed from the girl from before and which were far more bat-like in appearance. "From now on, you'll live your life for my sake." She added, and the green clad God sensed Issei finally lost consciousness at that point.

He saw the redheaded demon or angel- it was really hard for him to differentiate between the two given his impossibly long life and experiences with both species- take out what appeared to be eight pawn pieces from some random chess set and lay them down on the chest of the dying human. She then proceeded to speak some manner of incantation, introducing herself as Rias Gremory and calling to him to come back from the shadows of death or some shit… honestly, he lost track of the exact wording involved and was more entranced by her voice than the words themselves.

He wasn't interested in customizing his abilities so as to have an eidetic recollection of every minute detail of his life; an infinite long-term memory was fine and all, but he only really bothered to remember the more significant bits and after a while he tended to forget the little things here and there. How AIB and other ZOF Masters like him dealt with their total recall was beyond him; he'd rather go through life not remembering all the nameless women he had shitty one-night-stands with, or an olfactory remembrance of rotting or otherwise unpalatable food that never faded. He was digressing though, and refocused his attention to the scene in front of him.

Eesheer watched everything unfold with his trademarked unflappable expression; the only indication of his interest in the situation being the slightest, almost imperceptible rising of his right eyebrow. Appaneesty IB always commented on his uncanny ability to not have a care in the Omni-Totality, and to laugh in the face of the most dangerous situations, but every now and again Eesheer would get serious and that was always when he was most dangerous. There was a reason most incarnations of him lived a lot longer than a lot of their respective friends, families, and members of Totality's Mightiest Heroes. He was a survivor and watching this demonic reincarnation or whatever take place was definitely a first in his book.

Eesheer had to admit he was mildly impressed; reincarnation was one of the biggest loopholes in the fundamental laws against resurrection. If she hadn't done so with Issei, the green clad ZOF Grandmaster would've had no choice but to intervene and stop her before she condemned some poor bastard to die so this Issei person could live. As it was, his presence here was largely unnecessary; so he did the only thing he could do in such a moment… he made his presence known by releasing a super fart. The sound was akin to a billion whoopee cushions getting sat on at once, and it definitely got her attention as she whirled around to face the cause of that disgusting noise… only to be met with his now visible self.

"Whew… I've been holding that in for hours, that all-you-can-eat sushi really does a number on your system. After everything I just witnessed though, I'd imagine you can forgive any breaking wind on my part. Oh, I guess this is the part where I should scream in terror and out you as a devil to this whole damn town… but I'm not going to. Seriously, what you just did there was fucking lit." He spoke with a cocky smirk in place, albeit not an unfriendly one as he gauged her reaction and saw her immediately put her guard up and stand over the unconscious, aforementioned Issei protectively.

He supposed he didn't leave a great first impression, he tended to do that a lot actually… but alas this went beyond being unimpressed with his introduction; this was straight up distrust and a note of hostility that was well and properly controlled until it was needed. He had to admire her ability to remain composed even in the face of a potential enemy… which he now realized he was; at least in her eyes.

"Who are you?!" She all but demanded, not bothering to comment on any of his shit speak or his rather impressive super fart from before. She arched one of her delicate red eyebrows at him expectantly, obviously awaiting an answer but seeming to relax in her stance a bit when he didn't express an immediate desire to attack her or her newly reincarnated devil Issei.

"Oh, what a long and complicated explanation this'll be. You can call me Eesheer, and I literally just stumbled onto this scene on a whim. Long story short, I ate some sushi along with a few of those Carolina Reaper peppers everyone goes on about, gallivanted through the town in the general direction of this local park, saw some bombshell fly away on wings comprised of black feathers, and came to see Issei here lying in a pool of his own blood which I was able to smell on the wind." He concluded his explanation with his smirk ever-present and without tripping over his words or losing his breath. He had to admit he was having more difficulty than normal forming cognitive thoughts when this Rias devil girl was staring him down with her arms crossed under her exceedingly bountiful bosom.

Rias was surprised by how specific and in depth his response was; she knew that lies were often in the details or lack thereof, and that such a specific answer would've been hard to come up with on the fly unless it was the truth. Only the most skilled liars could go so in depth with their lies without betraying any of their deceit to the recipient of said lie, and she wasn't about to give this man that kind of credit without more evidence force. But she quickly realized he didn't provide much of any helpful information either apart from his name, with no honorifics or surnames. Was he trying to be mysterious with her? She supposed him saying any name was a start, especially since that was all the information she asked him for in the first place. She had to wonder who he was or how he stumbled onto all of this as he claimed; she couldn't just let him go sauntering off if he presented a threat to any innocent people.

"Eesheer huh, that's an interesting name." She finally settled for saying, and Eesheer shrugged with arrogant levels of nonchalance.

"You're not the first person to have told me that, and you won't be the last; far from it. So I take it you have things well in hand then… I guess I'll just take my leave then. Oh, don't worry; I won't say anything about what happened here." Eesheer replied, realizing he should probably make sure she knows he wasn't going to go around telling anybody about what he witnessed; who the hell would he tell in any case, he was completely alone now.

"No, I don't think you will." Rias said in a rather knowing tone of voice, and Eesheer's smirk widened when he caught her intentions.

"Your memory modification spell won't work on me Miss Gremory; I can promise you that, though you are most welcome to try of course." He told her while repressing the urge to laugh at her astounded expression.

"How did you know about what I planned to do after you left?" She demanded with narrowed eyes, her suspicion approaching critical heights as Eesheer rolled his eyes.

"Just a deduction, oh and I may have caught your intent to do so somewhere in your mind when I ran a complete synopsis of your various energy signatures, demonic aura, mental faculties, your physiology, and even your very soul." He informed her; curious to see how far he could push her buttons and mess with her before she tried to kill him. He honestly loved messing with people, though that could get him into trouble more often than not.

Rias's eyes were narrowed much more threateningly now, and she exuded a dangerous aura that had just the slightest touch of apprehension to it. "You were able to scan me… just like that?!" She questioned him in exclamation as Issei groaned next to her from where he laid unconscious.

"I'd recommend getting that poor, almost-died-a-virgin bastard home before anyone else becomes wise about what goes on in this town. You can continue your 411 at another time." Eesheer chuckled slightly when he realized he'd indirectly promised her there would be another time. Rias's mind was whirling with questions about this man, but refrained from asking them due to her detecting a hint of narcissism and arrogance in this person's aura; she refused to give him the satisfaction of knowing he garnered interest from her.

"Is that a promise, or a threat?" Rias questioned him teasingly; a smirk of her own in place when she realized he wasn't here to cause trouble. Still, it was clear he wasn't an ordinary mortal either so modifying his memory seemed to be out of the question. She felt better about the situation in any case, and couldn't help but flirt with him a little to try and lower his guard a bit, and she wasn't afraid to admit he was a good looking guy.

"I'll leave that up to you to decide." Eesheer winked at her, before he turned and walked away in the other direction; relieved that Issei appeared to be in good hands though he'd apparently been reincarnated as one of the many supernatural creatures that seemed to inhabit this universe. He had all kinds of questions about this place, and was never as well informed about the Omni-Totality and its many universes as AIB had been… he supposed he just liked to learn this shit as he went along, updating his knowledge base time and again honestly felt like more work than simply learning through first-hand experiences and examples.

Rias watched him go as many questions filled her mind about what kind of being he could've been; being the sister of the demon king Sirzechs Lucifer came with its perks. She was very well informed on most things concerning the three supernatural factions as well as the various other pantheons that made up their reality. Eesheer wasn't a name that matched with any well-known angel, devil, fallen angel, or god that she could recall offhand, and though he could've been lying about his name what was the purpose of providing her with such an outlandish false identity?

Something about him and his presence felt completely wrong… like he didn't belong anywhere in her world or with any known people. He didn't feel holy, devilish, or like any other form of energy she knew of, but at the same time he seemed to encompass all of those power signatures at once; which was downright impossible… the very idea that someone could be so many different opposing elements at once would make them the ultimate walking self-contradiction. She shook her head at the absurd thoughts Eesheer filled her head with, before smiling down at Issei's unconscious form lying on the pavement, and with a wave of her hand above her head her family's magical demon crest appeared on the ground beneath her and her new pawn and rose up above them, slowly but surely dematerializing them all along the way.

To say Issei was confused the next day at school was a vast understatement, and Rias couldn't hide her smile at his misfortune while continuing to observe him surreptitiously throughout the day, during their breaks in between lessons at Kuoh Academy. Rias had always shown an interest in the boy, even despite his reputation as the leading member of the infamous 'Perverted Trio', she could tell his was a truly impressive Sacred Gear. Now that he was reborn as a devil, it was only a matter of time before he noticed the changes to his body. She was pleased her memory erasure spell seemed to be working on the humans so far, and although Issei seemed to pass last night off as a dream for the time being she knew she would have to come clean with him eventually.

One thing vexed her however and that was the untimely appearance of that man named Eesheer. She'd done a very thorough search and ran his name through every mythological and religious text she could get her hands on, and came up empty-handed. If he was a member of one of the three factions, then he either wasn't very famous or was a name lost to the annals of history.

He didn't even give her a surname to go with, which was even weirder because all the high-ranking devils, angels, and fallen ones tended to be proud of their families and their heritage. Rias even admitted to being more than just a little proud of her own from time to time, although she would've given anything for someone to see her as just Rias and without all the additional baggage that goes with being related to one the current Lucifer's.

Who didn't introduce themselves with a first and last name? Did this Eesheer even have a last name, or was he simply not proud of his roots for whatever reason? Those questions were just the tip of the iceberg however; the fact that he'd seemed to run a complete synopsis of her just by glancing at her from a distance was more unnerving than she cared to admit. She wondered what else he was capable of, and if he would prove to an ally or an adversary to the remaining Devil clans. These were dark and difficult times, and the truce between the three factions was tense to say the least, and Rias figured it was seen as a ticking time bomb by some people… and she really hoped she could trust this new player in the game so to speak.

He seemed friendly at first glance, if not overtly cocky and happier to display unnatural flatulence than she was strictly comfortable with; still, the lack of information she had on him or his unusual style of dress was unnerving. And since this town came under her family's control she couldn't help but feel protective of it and its people. If Eesheer constituted a threat to her friends, family, and even the strangers of this place; then she'd stop him, no matter what kind of powers he had.

But it wasn't just his timely appearance or the fact that he hadn't fought her when he had the chance- she almost wished he attacked her yesterday, it would make things simpler- something about him just felt so off she couldn't think straight when he was around. And now when thoughts of him plagued her mind she couldn't resist seeing him as a fascinating puzzle.

The final morning period ended as she walked out of class and saw Issei confronting his two pervert friends about Yuma. She walked right past him on the landing between the two flights of steps; a smirk etched casually on her face as they momentarily locked eyes and she walked down the descending stairway as though nothing had happened, the moment of clarity in Issei's eyes gone as quickly as it came.

'Damn! If I'm going to die, no offense, but I'd rather it be at the hands of a beautiful woman than some dude!' Issei exclaimed mentally as he ran in the opposite direction of the man with black wings, mentally recapping everything that had happened over the last two days. He had woken up after what he could've sworn was a date night straight from hell. He had been so sure he was going to die, so he was more than a little freaked out when he woke up the next morning in his bed with no gaping hole in his gut or signs of his life force slowly ebbing away. Fast forward to school and the weirdness that his friends didn't remember who the fuck Yuma was; that in itself was a strong indicator that what he experienced had been a dream, or so he had dared to believe.

Now though, he had been stupid enough to come back to the park where it all started, and he was currently being hunted by another of those douches with raven-like wings. His only regret was that this one wasn't a bombshell female, and he was saying something about Issei being a stray… whatever that meant.

He saw a flash of green light up the entire world all around him for less than a split-second before he was shoved roughly to the side by some unseen force. He slid on the ground slightly and shrugged off the road burn, his senses on high alert as he turned over from his position on the ground and looked up to see someone standing over him in a protective stance… having parried a glowing sword made of light off to the side before it could hit him. Issei didn't know how, but he somehow knew this man had just saved his ass from getting impaled by that blade; though how he parried it when he had no visible weapons on his person was beyond his mortal comprehension.

"Well, that was highly uncalled for; who throws a fucking sword?! Honestly," His rescuer tutted with a cluck of his tongue as he turned down to face Issei with the slightest bit of concern etched on his face.

"Are you okay there man? Sorry about the shove, I really did try to be as gentle as I could but it's hard to control my strength with such precision." He asked him worriedly, and Issei could only nod numbly as the guy smirked a little cockily.

"That's great! I'd imagine you're probably a little punch drunk right now over what is happening to you; if it were me I'd be tripping the fuck out and wondering what the hell I smoked last night. But enough about me, you should probably back away a little bit. I'll handle this for now." The stranger clad in green said, and Issei noted the ridiculous looking face etched on the chest of his lime green shirt as well as the awesomely badass deep green trench coat he sported. Issei made a mental note to thank him later if they made it out of this situation alive, but he also knew they weren't out of the woods yet and that became all the more clear when his assailant turned his attention to Issei's savior when it became apparent that his quarry wasn't killed by that last attack.

"I have to admit, it's been a long time since I've been in a universe where various pantheons and supernatural factions are all thrown together in a single continuity. So, my name is Eesheer; to whom am I speaking if you don't mind my asking? And why do you attack this boy when I've witnessed no provocation being directed at you?" Eesheer spoke to the man in a polite tone of voice, trying to act like he was in the know about the whole situation when the fact was he was just making this shit up as he went along.

The fallen angel paused at the surprisingly formal and well-mannered address; though some of his words stuck out like a sore thumb… like the fact that he spoke of the term universe as though it wasn't singular. Add to that the fact that this Eesheer character not only managed to stop his sword from reaching its intended target but moved faster than even he could see, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat apprehensive.

"My name is Dohnaseek, and I am after him because he is a stray devil; such creatures cannot be allowed to roam as they please, it is simply too great a risk for us to let them go off scot-free." He explained to Eesheer, the fact that the stranger's face was set in that damnable smirk was irking him slightly, but he retained a level of composure as the green-clad stranger responded. All the while, Issei's eyes continued to widen as his mind processed what was happening.

"Dude, you do realize that he was only just reincarnated into a devil yesterday right?! I mean, come on… I thought the whole shoot first and ask questions later mentality was a bit outdated in this modern age, but then you go and you convict this poor virgin bastard without even giving him a chance to explain his side of the story." Eesheer admonished the man as though scolding a recalcitrant pet.

"My point is that kind of transformation takes time to acclimate to; add to that the fact that the she-devil who reincarnated him hasn't even explained the situation yet and you get one very confused individual who doesn't know what the fuck is going on. I'm just glad I decided to keep an eye on things here for a while; I'd imagine things would've turned out very differently today if I hadn't." Eesheer laughed mysteriously, as though he were speaking the greatest cosmic joke in the history of cosmic jokes and only he knew about it.

Issei's eyes widened at the word devil, and that both this Eesheer person and the angel dude seemed to think he was one. "Oh my God, so yesterday evening… it really happened!" He exclaimed in shock and indignation, finally speaking up as Eesheer turned to look down at him again with a wry smirk. The infamous leader of the Perverted Trio rose to his feet a little shakily due to nerves.

"Yeah, quite the royal mind fuck isn't it?" Eesheer chortled, and Issei's eyes narrowed.

"This isn't funny; I'm really freaking out right now!" Issei shouted, and Eesheer nodded in understanding, grateful that Dohnaseek was giving the two of them time to talk things out for the moment.

"Look dude, I don't have the whole story either; I swear I was just passing by when I happened upon your body bleeding out on the pavement. What happened next is some redheaded bombshell appeared in some kind of crest and brought you back to life. Beyond that, I'm just as confused as you are, but once we get this little kerfuffle sorted I'll help you find the answers you seek anyway I can." Eesheer promised before he could stop himself, hating to see one of his fellow man going through such a starting change. Dohnaseek's demeanor seemed to lighten considerably as he listened to them talk.

"My apologies for the misunderstanding you two, I wasn't aware of the situation and I may have behaved a tad rashly. Just be aware that there are many within my faction less cordial about this than I am, and that the house of Gremory should keep a closer eye on its servants." He said while watching Eesheer with a curious expression.

"You have a very peculiar aura about you Eesheer, one I've never seen before; you should bear in mind what might happen to you if you continue to stick your nose in other people's affairs. You got off lucky this time, but you'll need more than a compelling story to sway some of the others. Until next time, which I hope never comes." Dohnaseek said, and with that final parting warning he flew off into the night, leaving Eesheer and Issei alone and otherwise unmarred by the night's events.

"So… that happened." Eesheer remarked casually with a perfect poker-face, and Issei began to wonder if this guy was even capable of being serious about anything.

"I need answers, and I'm not going to get them here. So what… I'm like a devil now; does that mean I've gone to hell to?! I can't believe this stuff is even real!" Issei was working himself up into a tizzy now.

"I don't have the answers Hyoudou-San, but I think we both know who does. So let's go find this Rias Gremory person and get us your due explanations." Eesheer suggested with a perfectly level head, already forming the beginnings of a plan inside his head as Issei nodded mutely and the both of them prepared to depart. Eesheer stopped suddenly and smirked when he sensed another familiar presence once again hit the scene. They say that when one spoke of the devil they would appear... it appeared this particular devil took that saying to heart.

"You showed up a little too late this time around Miss Gremory. I already took care of the situation, though I'd imagine you'd be here much quicker if the boy was in any real danger tonight, am I right? I had better be right." He said, seemingly to nobody as Issei stared around for any sign of the curvaceous redhead who was the object of every guy at Kuoh Academy's wet dreams.

He was not disappointed, as he saw her materialize in a strange circular crest comprised of a deep red light. She glanced at Issei for a second with what he could've sworn was a relieved smile before she turned her attention to Eesheer, another girl with long black hair and purple eyes flanking her as well as a smaller, off-white haired girl with a permanently neutral expression and catlike features and graceful movements.

"Oh, what a pity that we didn't get here in time to finish him off, I so would've loved to light that fallen one up." The black haired beauty giggled with a seductive undertone in her voice that had both Issei and Eesheer repressing certain bodily urges despite the former's somber mood. Eesheer was far from being oblivious to the fairer sex, if anything his ZOF enhanced libido had to constantly be kept in check nowadays… especially since he hadn't had a mate to engage in sex with for a long time now.

"We need to stop meeting like this Eesheer; people might start to talk. Issei, do you think you and your new friend could come with us? I'm sure you have a lot of questions, and I would like to get some answers of my own from you Eesheer if it is not too much trouble?" Rias requested of them both with a smile that was every dominatrix's dream.

"I've never set much store by propaganda miss Gremory, but sure… I've got time to kill. I was just about to head out for another order of Carolina Reapers but that can wait. Issei needs a semblance of normalcy right about now and I can't believe there's any world or universe where I actually fill that need." Eesheer responded with another of his wry chuckles.

"Thanks, I appreciate that! You're going to an awful lot of trouble to look out for a guy you don't even know." Issei told him in a not unappreciative tone, and Eesheer gave a shrug.

"Honestly, I don't really have anything better to do these days." Eesheer said vaguely, only succeeding in furthering Rias's curiosity which had been festering all day. The two members of her Peerage who were with her right now watched the exchange between Issei and this stranger with equal parts fascination and confusion, though they could sense a budding bromance brewing between the two of them as well and couldn't help but smile. Well technically, the black haired dynamite gal was the one who smiled; cat-lady maintained a certain amount of neutrality and poker-faced apathy that could've given Eesheer's a run for its money.

"Perhaps we should take this somewhere a little homier and a little less tinged with bad memories; what do you guys say?" Eesheer suggested as he waved his hand and all five of them were instantly transported to the Occult Research Club in Kuoh Academy. There was no flash of light or sound of Omni-Omniversal displacement left in their wake… just instant teleportation.

Rias and the other two girls looked at their suddenly displaced surroundings and the familiar setting with wide eyes… while Issei looked like he was going to be motion sick and promptly threw up all over the carpeted flooring. Another wave of Eesheer's hand, and the bile was banished into total nonexistence as he rubbed Issei's back. "Yeah, that can sometimes happen… instant transport isn't always as grand as everyone thinks it is." Eesheer told him as Issei nodded in thanks.

His smirk grew to cartoon-like proportions when Rias rounded on him, hands on her hips. "Okay, how did you do that? There was no magical circle or crest of any kind… just this blinding flash of green. Also, how did you know where to bring us?" She practically demanded, and Eesheer raised a hand in a placating gesture.

"Whoa, simmer down there captain dominatrix… I come in peace. Basically, I teleported us, and I set my teleportation power's settings to the location you feel most comfortable and at ease in. You should be grateful I'm giving you the home field advantage in this situation." Eesheer replied airily, obviously not the least bit concerned by Rias's edginess, though if he were in her situation he supposed he'd be a little apprehensive as well.

Rias looked surprised that his teleportation powers could be set to such abstract specifications, but quickly recovered as she got down to business. "Anyways, I'd like to officially welcome you two to the occult research club. Of course, the name of this club is just a front… it's supposed to look like this is some sort of hobby." She explained, and Issei gulped nervously but couldn't keep himself from asking the obvious question, even if he dreaded the answer.

"Okay, so what is it in actuality?" Eesheer interjected, taking the words right out of Issei's mouth as he opened and closed it again in order to listen to Rias's response.

"Well, since you asked I'll be frank with you two; I'm not the only devil here Issei." Rias replied, and while Issei's eyes bulged out of their sockets slightly Eesheer's expression was unreadable as he simply shrugged.

"Makes sense actually… You all have auras far beyond the human norms on this earth." He said airily, and both Rias and the black haired girl quirked an eyebrow at this while cat-lady remained as neutral as Eesheer had ever been.

"So wait a damn minute here… are you saying that's what all of you are?!" Issei queried emphatically, unable to believe his ears as Rias nodded.

"And the winged man from the local park was something else… a fallen angel." Rias added, not needing to directly answer Issei's question as her continued explanation was all the answer he needed. His eyes grew even wider somehow at this next revelation.

"Some think we're the same which isn't true… they want to serve God but it's far too late for them as their dark emotions have forced them into the underworld. The misconception is reasonable because they to walk the earth misguiding humans. But their ultimate goal is to please God, so they plan to wipe us out and gain supremacy over our realm. You call that realm Hell, and of course there are the classic angels who were clearly sent by God to overrun us so we're constantly defending ourselves from both sides." Rias paused in her explanation as Issei started to look completely and utterly overwhelmed.

"You okay man? This shit is pretty heavy so I wouldn't blame you if you weren't." Eesheer asked him from the couch adjacent to his as Koneko seemed to be tuning their conversation out entirely.

"You aren't kidding… Rias, to tell you the truth I'm more than just overwhelmed; this is some seriously freaky-deaky stuff you're dropping on me." Issei admitted, still not quite able to believe this wasn't all just a bad dream. Rias's smile turned much darker as she decided to say the one thing that would convince Issei this was all real.

"Remember Yuma Amano?" She asked him, and watched with satisfaction as his eyes widened in horrified remembrance.

"Of course you do, how could you forget? You two dated for a little while didn't you?" Rias pressed him, not missing the way Eesheer's eyes narrowed dangerously at Issei's clear distress… clearly he cared more for the emotional wellbeing of others than his usual mask of apathy tended to suggest.

"Where did you hear that name?" Issei asked her in an obviously distressed tone… before sighing. "Never mind, I don't wanna know. Look, I don't know how you know so Goddamn much about my life but it's starting to seriously freak me out! Maybe we should just…" Issei paused to stand up, ready to walk out the door and never look back as Rias stood as well and slid a photo across the coffee table into clear view of Issei.

Issei's entire body was shaking as he saw the two people in the photo. "Yuma!" He gasped, and Rias nodded.

"That's right Issei, it wasn't a dream; she's real." Rias dropped the biggest bombshell as Issei collapsed back into his seat on the couch out of shock.

"I love this photo of you two; you both look really cute together. You remember it I assume." Rias said. It was a statement not a question.

"Of course I do but… how is this possible?" Issei continued his 411 once he calmed down a little. Eesheer didn't know these people very well, but his heart went out to Issei in these moments.

"The girl you went out with is also a fallen angel; she's made up of the same elements as the being that attacked you last night." Rias explained.

"But that's just it, did I meet her? Matsuda and Motohama don't remember a damn thing about her, and how is it her contact info is no longer in my phone?" Issei said back, not even sure what was real anymore.

"We have the power to erase the memories of humans; things tend to be better for everybody that way." Rias responded with an explanation that had Issei nodding back uncertainly.

"So, if Yuma really killed me and you brought me back as a devil… what does that mean for me?" Issei wondered; not sure if he should dread the answer or not as the redheaded bombshell grew a savage smile. So far, both the white haired chick and the black haired beauty had not contributed much to the conversation and merely listened.

"It means your life belongs to me now and you're my devil servant. I really like the name Issei; I'll let you keep it." She replied, and Issei wasn't sure if she was kidding or not and thought it wise not to laugh. None of them noticed Eesheer's eyes narrowing slightly again, evidently not fond of the whole concept of slave and master relations.

Sensing Issei's growing unease, the black haired girl giggled sweetly. "You don't have to worry about a thing Issei; everyone here is super nice and we think of our club members like family." She said as Issei visibly relaxed and Eesheer remained strangely silent during the exchange altogether. His face was set in an unreadable mask that could rival Koneko's best neutral faces. Rias noticed this and turned to him with a serious expression.

"Devils don't normally out themselves to people outside of their peerages like this; I'm not sure who you are Eesheer but the fact you're so unbelievably calm about all this tells me you're used to this kind of thing." She noted, trying to see if she could elicit a reaction out of him beyond that damnable smirk. She was disappointed as his face split into a troublemaker's lopsided grin.

"You're not wrong, I actually knew quite a few devils myself back in the heyday." Eesheer said mystifyingly.

"Do you belong to any of the three factions Rias mentioned earlier? You don't have a scent like any angel, devil, or fallen angel I've seen. Something about you almost seems… foreign." Akeno asked a question of her own, when it became clear Eesheer wasn't elaborating on his previous statement and seemed to delight in being an unknown.

"You are both quite astute; you hit the nail on the head as well um… I'm sorry; I never got your name did I?" Eesheer suddenly remembered they all had yet to introduce themselves apart from Rias, which was quite rude in all honesty.

The girl giggled again. "You're right, we never were properly introduced. I'm Akeno, and I'm Rias's right hand and best friend." She said with a polite bow, which only served to accentuate her well-endowed chest.

Cat-lady gave a casual, quick wave and introduced herself as Koneko. That left Eesheer to introduce himself, although Rias kind of already called him by name in front of her peerage several times. "My name is Eesheer for those of you who may have forgotten, and I come from a race of people called Zenith Omnidonae." He said as Rias's eyes widened at this revelation. Eesheer's eyebrow quirked at the realization that she might have heard of his kind, it was rare for him to come across a universe that knew what he was but not unheard of.

Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that this universe's version of God was dead; he had sensed the residual presence of a faded Omnipotence Nexus member all over the place when he first set foot here but could tell the vast majority of people didn't know about it. If the system God created was still operational, then whoever took charge of Heaven in his stead could've kept the universe running. Maybe the reason Rias heard of his kind was because a Zenith Omnidony had something to do with God's death, or maybe it was just an old myth passed down by said God himself to the three supernatural factions.

"So, you're not human either? You're like, an alien or something?" Issei asked him, more calm about this than he had been about the devil revelation. Perhaps he was adapting to the changes in his life better than Eesheer first thought.

"You could call it that I suppose." The green clad ZOF Grandmaster grinned, before his expression grew a tad more serious. "Though I like to think I've been to enough alternate earths to go native. You know what they say; when in Rome do what the Romans do. Well, my version is when on Earth do as the Humans do." He added as Issei snorted and Akeno smiled.

"That's cool, so welcome to the planet I guess. I have another question. You keep saying things like this universe and alternate earths; like there is more than one. So are you from a different reality or something?" Issei asked him as Rias, Akeno, and Koneko watched the exchange with poorly concealed interest.

"Yes actually Issei, my people take dimensional transcendence to the ultimate level." Eesheer explained, not bothering to elaborate on just what the 'ultimate level' entailed.

"Man, that's fucking cool! So the theory of the multiverse is real and all that?!" Issei started geeking out by this point as Eesheer laughed.

"Yes it is, and so much more besides that. Every alternative, dimension, parallel, and seemingly fictitious thing you can imagine exists, and even the things your species can't imagine." He replied as Issei gave a close-eyed smile and clenched his fists in barely repressed overexcitement. Two mind blowing revelations in one evening; Issei wasn't sure which one was more exciting but he was always secretly a nerd about things like the Multiverse. He didn't out himself as a nerd often since that lessoned his chances of scoring a chick, but he couldn't help but be excited by this.

"Holy shit, I don't know which revelation is cooler to be honest!" Issei finally exclaimed after several moments of tense silence… during which his excitement built to a crescendo. Eesheer and Rias both smirked while Akeno giggled with a hand over her mouth. Even Koneko cracked a rare smile at the situation.

"Okay, so um… what exactly are Zenith Omnidonae or whatever you called yourself Eesheer?" Issei couldn't help but want to know more about his rescuer from earlier today.

"To tell you the truth, I'm wondering about that myself; I've never heard of a race like that." Akeno admitted with a dazzling smile. Eesheer smirked and turned to look at Rias who he sensed knew what he was the second he said the name of his race.

"Why don't you both ask Rias here? I saw the look on her face when I mentioned my kind to all of you, and I can read between the lines enough to know that she's heard of us before." Eesheer responded as Rias's eyes narrowed at him slightly for putting her on the spot like that.

"I daresay you know more about your own people than I ever could." She huffed somewhat indignantly, which only caused Eesheer's smirk to turn into a crooked grin again, much to her annoyance.

"I probably do, but I always like to see what sort of legends each new world I arrive in has about my kind. You get depictions and representations of the Zenith Omnidonae in almost every universe, though most people don't know that in actuality. Honestly, I'd like to hear what you know Rias, and maybe I'll finally give you some of the answers you seek if you do." Eesheer explained, causing Rias to furrow her eyebrows at him as Koneko looked up at Eesheer out of the corner of her eye, Issei grew attentive with interest, and Akeno silently urged Rias to tell all of them the story.

Rias sighed in defeat. "Fine, but I'm telling you I really don't know that much. All I know I've heard from my older brother Sirzechs; from what he could tell me Eesheer's kind are a people who even God fears to no end. It is said they wield the ultimate power to control and manipulate everything and everyone to their every whim and desire; that they can achieve any absurdity regardless of the scale, depth, or magnitude of the feat. It is also said they created all that is, was, and ever will be; that the totalities of existence and every representation of God within them are of their own making as surely as the rest of us are." She told all of them as Akeno whistled in astonishment and Issei's jaw practically hit the floor. Even Koneko looked intimidated to be sitting beside someone of that kind of power.

Eesheer looked surprisingly uncomfortable with the attention, which came as a surprise to Rias as everything she learned about him thus far suggested he was cocky-as-all-hell. Still, that didn't stop him from confirming most of what she said. "It's true, even the lowest members of our race wield a higher form of omnipotence than your world's representation of God or any other. The way it works is that by our standards all other infinities are essentially Aleph: Null by comparison whereas we can be anywhere from Aleph: 1 to Infinity and beyond and higher. This even includes the infinities that allow for the manipulation of a single Totality, which is what most functionally omnipotent beings have as a bare minimum."

"The difference between Zenith Omnidonae and regular ON members is not necessarily just the higher infinite power set, but also the scale on which we wield it and the vastness of our sphere of control. Unless a Zenith Omnidony is in the mix, the largest scaled form of omnipotence that exists is the one that manipulates any single Omega Omnisphere including yours. Any being that can wield the power of omnipotence or any other superpower beyond the confines of their Omega Omnisphere is classified as a Zenith Omnidony or ZOF Enhanced individual. In simpler terms, we make everyone and everything else our bitch." Eesheer paused a moment to let them digest all of this information, smirking at the last bit as he knew a little humor could go a long way for helping people come to grips with insane situations like this. He knew how his AIB used to speak over people's heads and go off on a seemingly unending tangent; much to their frustration at times, and didn't want to end up like that if he could avoid it.

"I take it our Omega Omnisphere is really big then; what exactly is an Omega Omnisphere?" Akeno asked him a question this time, and Eesheer smiled as he launched into an explanation of that. Even Rias looked like she didn't know and was absorbing everything he told them.

"An Omega Omnisphere is the largest scaled reality conceptualized or imagined by any mind sans the minds of my people. It contains every endless chain, hierarchy, universe, multiverse, omniverse, and every dimension, parallel, and alternative both possible and impossible, imaginable and unimaginable, fictional and nonfictional, real and unreal, and so on and so forth. The existence of more than one such absurdly oversized Totality is the ultimate paradox, and yet because most Omnipotent Gods are completely unique in their Omega Omnisphere; the Omni-Totality concept was created by some of the strongest Zenith Omnidonae out there so those like us could be less alone and their situation less unique. It's all fine and good being the most unique creature in existence, but you have to be prepared to be the loneliest also should you ever wind up in that situation." Eesheer explained to all of them as everyone seemed to get the gist of what an Omega Omnisphere is.

"So basically, the only reason there are multiple versions of Totality are for the benefit of people like you." Rias summed up, and Eesheer nodded with an approving smile.

"Yes indeed; nobody can accuse the heir of the house of Gremory of being slow on the uptake. The existence of multiple Omega Omnispheres also helps the many Fanfiction Writers out there who want a version of us to fit their own needs without canon law getting in the way." Eesheer chuckled, and Rias rolled her eyes at his cross-dimensional reference.

"How strong are you by your people's standards?" Issei asked, curious and feeling better now that he had time to process his reincarnation into a devil. Still, what Eesheer was telling them would prove to be even more of a mind fuck still… he just knew it.

"The Zenith Omnidonae and ZOF Enhanced alike are grouped into three tiers; Regular, Prodigy, and Master. The former two have a set limit to how strong with the ZOF they can become and how many Omega Omnispheres they can reign supreme over; Masters on the other hand wield the ZOF at an endlessly self-transcendent level and the really strong ones can manipulate the entire Omni-Totality to their every whim… some are even believed to be strong enough to break the boundaries of the Omni-Omniverse and manipulate some of its alternatives."

"Believe it or not, Masters are the second strongest God tier known to my people… though the strongest and its actual existence is theoretical and yet to be validated. We call them ZOF Grandmasters… for lack of a choosier term, and they are believed to be the tier of whomever or whatever created all the other ZOF tiers and the ZOF itself in their entirety. As for myself, I'm a master… I am Eesheer's IB counterpart; the strongest version of me in the Omni-Totality; as all IB counterparts tend to be." Eesheer told them… not wanting to go into how he actually became a Grandmaster, not just yet.

"IB counterpart?" Koneko finally asked a question, whereas Rias and Akeno both gaped at Eesheer's admission to being able to manipulate every Omega Omnisphere in existence. He was in the strongest tier of his own kind… minus the theoretical existence of these Grandmasters which challenged everything Rias thought she knew about the concept of omnipotence. It was no damn wonder why even God and the likes of her older brother were both in awe and afraid of these people; most people didn't believe that Zenith Omnidonae could exist, but now she realized that was only because of how afraid people were to accept such an irrationality.

"That's what we call the mightiest alternative to someone or something in each and every Omega Omnisphere inside the Omni-Totality itself. All IB counterparts are ZOF Master Tier whether they are Zenith Omnidonae or ZOF Enhanced individuals. Granted, there are some cases where more than one version of a person is ZOF Master Tier but only one of them is the IB counterpart. IB counterparts are stronger than all the rest, including the other versions of themselves who are ZOF Master Tier; that's what it means to be an IB counterpart, and why we Zenith Omnidonae are so honored to be blessed by such a title. In rare cases… thanks to our endless reincarnation cycles and what not; a ZOF Master can be the IB counterpart of more than one person and that puts their mastery completely through the roof. So, the more IB titles you have, the stronger you are as a ZOF Master." Eesheer answered Koneko as Issei fist pumped in excitement.

"That is so fucking awesome! Imagine if I could become the ultimate version of me?! I'd be able to achieve my goal of becoming the Harem King in an instant!" He exclaimed in pure fantastical ecstasy. Eesheer guffawed at this, finding Issei's surprisingly simple and shallow dream to be amusing beyond compare.

"Well, an IB counterpart of you has yet to be established so it is entirely possible. Believe me; part of being a ZOF Master is knowing who's received the honor at any given point. An IB title can be given to someone by an already existing ZOF Master; their credit as an IB counterpart goes way up when a ZOF Master vouches for them, and depending upon the importance and influence of the selecting ZOF Master that person can become an IB self very, very quickly. Of course, this is just one way for an IB counterpart to be chosen; sometimes the ZOF itself will initiate a Paradigm Shift and select one impartially; the problem with this method is the ZOF doesn't really consider whose lives it is immutably changing and how it affects them and the people around them. It doesn't take the time to be considerate of the fact that their lives would never be the same and that they're going to make enemies the likes of which most humans can scarcely imagine."

"The third one is if the person themselves is already a Zenith Omnidony or in the company of one and declares to the ZOF that they are the one and only version of themselves worthy of the title. Sometimes, this method is not challenged but most of the time you'd have to be ready to face any other version of you who is also after the title in a kind of tournament or death matches. The ones who lose will be returned to their realities without any memory of what just happened and the one who wins will be crowned the IB counterpart. Of course, to initiate this challenge one has to already be enhanced with the ZOF or in the company of somebody who is, the same is also true to anyone who accepts the challenge; otherwise you just look a crazy person declaring a challenge to the sky while it rains." Eesheer concluded his explanation with a chuckle as Issei's eyes bulged out at the whole process involved in selecting a counterpart.

"Maybe… I'll hold off until I've had more training, a lot more training." He admitted in a mollified tone.

"Smart move kid," Eesheer responded with an airy chuckle at his expense.

"So you're like… God, aren't you?! That's so fucking sweet! Do you think you can grant me a wish to have the ultimate harem?" Issei asked him with a perverted grin on his face as he imagined the hot chicks he could gain with this man's help.

Eesheer's laughter bellowed throughout the room at this. "Man kid, you kill me with your teenage perversions. And the answer is no; I won't grant your wish. I've come across so many people who want me to do everything for them, and they don't even realize that they have the power to achieve their ambitions all on their own… within set parameters of course. My point is, if you want to be the harem king; then work for it on your own steam. If I simply snap my fingers and make it happen, it would subtract from the value of it all." He told him, as Issei slumped in his seat.

"Oh man, this blows… how am I going to get a harem without your help? Women aren't naturally polygamists like men are." He sighed as Rias grew a smile at this revelation. So he wanted a harem of beautiful women did he, that shallow dream of his needed a bit of work… but it was not beyond the power of her race and frankly the more devil girls there were in a harem like his the more their race would thrive; especially if he decided to make babies with all of them.

"You know Issei… the war between the three factions has left our numbers severely diminished to the point of near extinction, and even though a devil's lifespan is almost limitless our numbers are low enough that it won't matter in the long run. That's why the 'Evil Pieces' reincarnation system was created; we were forced to rely on humans to increase our numbers due to the wars and though reincarnated devils are usually regarded as lower-class citizens of hell if you rise up in the ranks of my Peerage you'll be able to form a peerage of your own." Rias explained to him, letting his brain catch on to the subtle hints of where she was going with this. She wasn't disappointed, as Issei's perverted grin returned with a vengeance.

"You mean I can have a bevy of beautiful devil women to?! Why would I ever want to go back to being human… being a devil is the shit! This means I can have my own harem right?!" Issei eagerly asked her, and Rias nodded with a sly grin.

"That's right, and you'd actually be doing our race a favor if you chose to impregnate them and have kids of your own. However…" Rias paused a moment to relish the look in Issei's face when he realized there were some conditions for this prize.

"You need to work hard and prove yourself first, so you can rise up to a rank of nobility in our society. That way you can have your own set of Evil Pieces." She added finally as Issei rose to his feet with a determined expression.

"I can do that… I promise I won't let you down Rias!" He proclaimed in manic euphoria, and Rias's grin widened.

"I know you won't, and we can talk about what jobs your new devil status will entail tomorrow morning; right now it is late, and even though we are creatures of the night everybody needs sleep. I'll see you bright and early tomorrow evening… after school is out." Rias instructed him as Issei nodded with excitement and Akeno gazed at Eesheer with a curious expression.

"I have one more question, if you're really as powerful as you say; then why come here? No offense or anything but I doubt you'd get anything out of it." She asked him, and Eesheer shrugged before throwing her a dashing smile that made her realize for the first time just how beautiful a specimen he really was.

"My people are nomads for the most part… drifting from reality to reality, from Omega Omnisphere to Omega Omnisphere. When we're not fighting against the immoral individuals of our Pantheon, most of us just tend to have a perpetual case of wanderlust… helping out wherever we can. Some of us keep our true nature a secret but in my experience life has a way of drawing that kind of shit out if we stay in one place for too long. So I tend to just out myself right away, it saves me the annoyance of having to reveal it later after keeping it a secret for as long as possible."

"Still, I can understand why others like me keep a lid on it; a lot of people fear and loathe us just because of what we can do. Hell, most other pantheons are terrified of us; those that aren't are either too far down the rabbit hole to give a shit about things like getting smited from existence, or are a Zenith Omnidony themselves. People spend so much time obsessing over what we are they never bother to find out about the person behind the powers, or the man behind the myths. Speaking of which, I gotta say you guys are taking my presence here remarkably well." Eesheer told each of them in turn, as Issei sweat dropped and the others seemed taken aback by his statement.

"Well, to be honest… I haven't really had time to process all of it yet man, and God or not you seem almost normal. Plus, you saved my life earlier today so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt." Issei admitted while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. Eesheer was honestly touched by that admission, although he didn't admit as much.

"In my case, it's because I'm not one to worry about the things I can't control. It's not like anyone can stop you or one of your kind if they went rogue, and if you did then we're all dead anyways so yeah…" Akeno giggled with a close-eyed smile that had Eesheer genuinely concerned for her sanity.

He turned to Koneko who merely shrugged. "Anyone like you who has nothing better to do with their time than pick on a defenseless world can suck it for all I care." She bluntly stated, and Eesheer couldn't help but laugh at this. These people were something else; that was for damn sure… Rias sure knew how to pick em. Speaking of Rias, she was the only one who hadn't responded to his admission yet and looking at her now he could see she was looking at him with a serious expression on her face.

"You realize your presence here is going to make waves and all kinds of trouble for the higher-ups within the three factions, don't you?" She asked him for clarification as Eesheer nodded, this time displaying an intense maturity that was normally belied by his outward appearance of cockiness.

"That's usually how it starts… honestly I'm kind of used to it. The fact that your world has any concept of what I am at all is usually a sign that one of my kind has either been here before or meant to be so. In either situation it is usually best for someone like me to stick around, even if nobody else feels that way. It can also sometimes mean a ZOF Paradigm shift is on the horizon for this world, and if that's the case you're going to need a ZOF Master with experience to walk your world through the hurtles and stepping stones that'll inevitably come with such an alteration." Eesheer replied in a no-nonsense tone, his whole demeanor completely different from what it had been prior to this moment. Rias nodded with a satisfied smile on her face as she sat back down in her chair.

"Honestly, I'd be a lot more worried if you didn't give me a good vibe Eesheer. You seem like a genuinely decent person all around, and you stuck your neck out for Issei despite not having to… twice I might add. However, you can expect there to be displeasure among many individuals within the three factions for you being here. So, how long are you planning on staying with us then?" Rias asked him, and Eesheer shrugged with a genuinely unknowing expression on his face.

"I haven't figured that out yet, I wasn't lying to you before Rias… I quite literally happened upon this world by chance. ZOF Paradigm shifts don't abide by any set schedule or deadline, it could be a week or not for ten millennia; even Masters such as me can't subvert the will of our power source, not to that extent. We can create those shifts on our own, but when the ZOF is planning on doing it there isn't much we can do to stop it from occurring. In any case, I can't know for sure how long I'll be here… but I'll be sure to let you all know when I feel it is safe for me to leave. It could be I'm worried for nothing but worlds with any knowledge of my race; even when it is only myths and legends… usually are worth checking out at the very least." He admitted as Rias nodded in acceptance and saw Akeno smiling with approval out of the corner of her eye. Clearly, someone was happy Eesheer was staying at least; which is when she made a decision.

"Do you have any place to stay?" She asked him, and he looked at her in perplexity.

"Um… you do realize that even if I didn't have limitless funds in every existing currency, which I do; I could just as easily conjure up my own living accommodations without anybody being any the wiser?" He asked her as she sighed at the ridiculousness of the situation.

"Of course, well even still… I reckon you'd be glad of some company and if you ever change your mind you can stay here as long as you make yourself unnoticeable after hours. This is a private club, but I don't want to take the chance of anyone spotting you here after the school is supposed to be closed." Rias insisted, and she almost dared to believe Eesheer looked surprised and even… touched by her kind offer. She'd have to ask him about that later.

"Thank you, maybe I'll take you up on that… but I ain't going to be a mooch and live off the sweat, blood, tears, and hard-earned money of anyone else; not when I don't technically need food or oxygen to breathe, and definitely not when I have an endless supply of money. So, make sure you promise me not to be offended if I don't join you guys for dinner or something, not unless I can pay you for your troubles or conjure my own food." Eesheer insisted stubbornly as Rias looked him in the eye.

"Eesheer, that really isn't necessary." She simply said, but he shook his head in disagreement.

"It is when your world has limited resources, food, and money and I don't. Not sharing my gifts on top of shorting your kind of previsions for any reason is not something my conscience can stomach. If you want me to come visit you guys; I need you all to try and understand that situation from my point of view." Eesheer responded with such passion that Rias could only smile at him in slight admiration. Even Koneko looked impressed, and Issei wasn't far behind her.

"If you really feel that strongly about it, then fine… you don't have to join us for dinners and what not. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you don't actually require food, or sleep even I bet. I mean, even the mightiest of devil-kind are not so above the bare necessities as all that." Rias promised him, and Eesheer smiled as he sat back down… having not been aware of standing up during his statement in the first place.

"Thank you for understanding, you'd be surprised how many times this issue has come up for my kind in times long since passed. Humans and other mortals don't have a frame of reference for our complete lack of any needs whatsoever and it boggles their minds every time. So I wanted to squelch any arguments that might've come up before they could get started." Eesheer explained his reasoning as Issei's mouth fell open again.

"Wait a minute… you're telling me you guys don't need anything? What about sex, reproduction, or companionship in any sense? You can't tell me there isn't some need for that among your race, or at the very least a certain level of desire." Issei questioned him, completely and royally mind-fucked as he started rethinking the whole idea of becoming his IB counterpart. Seeing the worried look on his face Eesheer laughed louder than ever before.

"Issei, relax… we aren't so above-it-all that we are beyond making friends or even lovers. As a matter of fact our libidos are capable of being as limitless as our powers if we want them to be, and thus our sex drive and sexual pleasure is truly second to none when doing the dance with no pants. Sex with a Zenith Omnidony is said to be the highest of all pleasures or highs, so you can imagine you'd be quite the sex God were you to undergo such a transformation."

"We can customize our powers and physiological attributes however we like and to any degree dude; also, when one of my kind falls in love we fall harder than anyone else. Those of us who choose to open our hearts to the full force of our ZOF enhanced emotional energies gain a limitless capacity for human emotions to. It's a choice whether we enhance those attributes to their highest levels or become heartless monsters, and the freedom to control our very existences however we want means many Zenith Omnidonae are exactly as you describe. But honestly, if you don't want to live like that all you have to do is ask and it will be. And frankly, as strong as we are we tend to face enemies and challenges equal to what we are capable of. So the strength in numbers concept does apply to us to some degree to." Eesheer concluded his explanation as Issei heaved a relieved sigh.

"Thank goodness, I was really worried for a second there. So do you have friends and lovers; I mean you specifically?" Issei asked, none of them noticing the way Eesheer tensed up at the query almost imperceptibly, before he quickly recovered and nodded.

"Yes I di…do, I do have friends though I have yet to find a lover who is willing to put up with my antics. Still, there's plenty of fish in the sea I reckon and I have forever to find a mate in any case." Eesheer answered, and Akeno studied his posture for a moment and the way he carried himself when he said he'd never had a lover. For some strange reason, she had the weird feeling this was the only question they asked him that Eesheer had not answered honestly… but couldn't bring herself to force the issue.

"So, where are they right now? Do they know where you are?" Koneko asked him, also studying him from a much closer distance than Akeno. She had felt him tense up through the couch cushions; evidently a testament to his unimaginable physical strength which couldn't help but show itself no matter how legendary his control over it was. Given that she was a rook in Rias's peerage, she knew a thing or two about raw physical prowess.

"No I don't, and that's the point actually. When you're friends with people like mine, it's good to step away and take a vacation for a little bit… having to put up with the same people for eternity can grate on even the most patient person's nerves. So we all go our separate ways for a while from time to time; it helps put into perspective why we do what we do and why we choose to remain as we are. I'm here because I'm trying to step away from my life as Eesheer IB… at least for a little while. I needed to get away from the wars with Omni-Omniversal stakes and the deaths of entire Omega Omnispheres left in our wake."

"It gets to be too much even to those of us who have dealt with it all our lives. And our people like to do things on a supremely… extravagant scale. It is worse for those of us who began life as mortals or chose to reincarnate into one temporarily, as that creates a semblance of normalcy which is then destroyed afterward. People who choose to become Zenith Omnidonae later in life are often the best of our kind, but they're also the ones most haunted by the sheer size of our enemies' sphere of control." Eesheer said to them with a wistful expression on his face. This time, nobody missed it, and they all gave this man… this impossible man their condolences for whatever losses he might've suffered before.

"Anyways, it is getting late, and while I don't require sleep I also don't want to detain any of you lovely ladies from your beauty rest so I'm going to hit the road." Eesheer told them all as he caught Akeno flushing slightly from him calling her lovely, and he made a mental note to capitalize on any crush she might end up forming on him in the future. He'd have to be an idiot not to see she was unbelievably gorgeous, but for now he needed time to reflect. Some of the things they talked about had dredged up memories from his subconscious that he longed to forget, and he needed time away from people for a bit.

"You want an instant transport home before I go Issei?" Eesheer offered as Issei remembered throwing up earlier and shook his head.

"No thanks man; once was enough. I think I'll walk." He chuckled and Eesheer nodded understandingly while warning him to try and stay out of trouble. He then did the most human thing he could've done in that situation… he walked out the front door and out into the schoolyard outside before deciding to take a leisurely stroll around town at a human pace.

The next evening…

A long time ago in an Omni-Totality pre-existing the current one…

Eesheer was running late again… how he managed to be a ZOF Master capable of breaking all concepts of infinite speed and still not be on time was beyond him, but she never seemed to care. She was always as easy going and without a care in the Omni-Omniverse as he ever was, and it had a doubling effect on his positive energy to date someone so alike yet unlike him at the same time. They were as different as the sun and the moon in some respects… he was a fully-fledged ZOF Master Tier Zenith Omnidony and she was a God Magic Conduit of the same caliber.

He was messy and chaotic and disorganized and she was perfectly neat and kept him together in even the worst situations. He was an all-powerful force of the ZOF and she was the only thing capable of anchoring him. They were both perverts to some degree and a little too cocky for their own good… she was also exceedingly brilliant in the art of seduction. He may have had absolute power over all of creation… but she had him wrapped around her finger and totally, utterly whipped. And he wouldn't have it any other way.

"You're late again…" She smirked teasingly at him as he finally arrived to their location in a flash of green. Amber Thompson IB was many wonderful things… she began life as a demigod child of a ZOF Master and a human from her earth, and ascended to a state of Supreme Magical Godhood herself. She was a ZOF Master-Level enhanced individual; not possessing as wide a variety of powers as a functionally omnipotent being but far beyond any and all concepts of infinity with what powers she did have. Frankly, her full range of abilities was nearly limitless anyways; her repertoire second only to a full-blooded Zenith Omnidony. Eesheer had been taken with her from the moment she arrived in the IB Omega Omnisphere he and many of the other IB counterparts called home… and she was one of the most desirable females of their entire race throughout the Omni-Omniverse, which made the fact she chose to be his all the more precious to him.

Eesheer did the appropriate thing for his age when she continued smirking at him, he stuck his tongue out at her like a giant four-year-old and sat down beside her on the blanket and picnic basket she'd set up for both of them. The scenery that greeted them was far more alien than the human notion of a picnic date. They were sitting on a chunk of space rock floating on the outskirts of the Omega Omnisphere that stood in front of them.

This Totality was the only source of light visible for endless mega-parsecs…and it was on the brink of collapsing. Apart from the light of that multicolored sphere, they had no light to guide them…no light, no dark, no up, no down, no life, no time… without end. The space beyond and between the Omega Omnispheres of the Omni-Totality was referred to as the Realm of Absurdities, and for good reason. It was in a state of nothingness beyond all other forms of nothingness. The only reason there was any space rock at all was because Amber herself willed it, so great was her power as a God Magic Conduit. Of course, there was technically something else out here; pure ZOF, and as Masters they were connected with all of its energy out here, oversupplied in a vast ocean of their power source.

Eesheer grinned and took his place beside her as they cuddled up together in the blanket and Amber nuzzled affectionately into his chest. She was just too beautiful at times like this… with her auburn hair and the amber eyes which were her namesake. She had a body that would make any supermodel green with envy; with her hourglass figure almost effortlessly maintained, her c-cup breasts, flawless skin, and the fact she exuded pure, unadulterated sex appeal. She was a wet-dream fantasy brought to life before his very eyes, and the best part was she was completely and utterly devoted to him. Why she was he'd never know, but he'd spend the rest of his existence making her feel like she was queen of the Omni-Omniverse… which she very nearly already was.

Turning his attention back to the about-to-explode Omega Omnisphere, Eesheer smiled as it grew bigger and seemed to inflate like the largest balloon ever imagined… going through a kaleidoscope of colors in the process of doing so. "Ah man, watching Omega Omnispheres go through their natural deaths has always been a guilty pleasure of mine." Eesheer admitted with a sheepish blush, causing Amber to giggle at his embarrassment over this admission.

"Yeah, me to," She whispered in a pensive mood, one that Eesheer caught almost instantly as he turned to watch her with a sad expression… wondering what dark, depressing thoughts she was thinking before his attention was drawn from her a moment just in time to see the distant Omega Omnisphere burst into fire and chaos and heat death right in front of them; like a giant balloon popping… contents spilling from the inside.

They both watched in awed silence as the explosion was both instantaneous and eternally drawn out; the idea of time completely absent here as the Omega Omnisphere burst apart like the biggest fireworks display ever conceived. There were layers upon layers, endless amounts of dust, rocks, gas. It was all that remained of a once boundless amount of stars, galaxies, nebula, universes, and planets. In the end, all turned to dust; even something as seemingly timeless and eternal as an Omega Omnisphere.

They both continued to watch as lights and colors beyond imagining danced in their all-seeing visions, the infinite megaton explosion turning the once life-giving sphere into a ultra-massive cloud of primordial essence and dark energy which would be converted into the energy needed to start the next Omega Omnisphere in the endless chain of reincarnations that it underwent. Such was the inevitable cycle of existence; all endings were merely the preceding of new beginnings, and Eesheer was both humbled and reassured by this realization. Amber however, continued to watch the ever-expanding pure cosmic lightshow with heavy eyes, and she spoke up before Eesheer could think to question her on her somber disposition.

"It really puts things into perspective, doesn't it?" She whispered questioningly at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that nothing truly lasts forever… not really. Despite having eternity or endless eternities or endless sets of endless eternities of life, even we will die someday; it's sad really. I mean, what is eternity really; is it beyond all finite concepts of temporal elapse? Just because something is eternal doesn't mean it is forever. I just find myself thinking on this a lot lately." Amber elaborated as Eesheer quirked an eyebrow, wondering what brought this on in the usually uncaring woman beside him. She was the least concerned with anything, more than anyone he'd ever met in all honesty, but now she was acting like a different person and the idea that she could get so down and depressed about anything scared him a little.

"Amber… what brought this on? Are you okay?" He decided to ask her aloud and get to the bottom of why she felt the need to get all doom-and-gloom on him.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to freak you out or get you down or anything Eesheer… it's just that I've been thinking about this a lot lately. After our last war with ZIB, I've come to realize that as strong as we are even we aren't invincible… not truly. AIB is right, there is always a bigger infinity, and I just feel like there's never enough time. Seeing this Omega Omnisphere burst right here and now, it makes me wonder if anything last forever? What if we don't last forever Eesheer; what if we all die tomorrow?" Amber asked him worriedly as Eesheer sighed, finally understanding where she was going with this. She was right, ZIB had come way too close to destroying them all and the Omni-Totality last time.

"Look, you're right about a lot of that; nothing truly lasts forever… look Amber, I'm not going to deny that even ZOF Masters such as ourselves are not as perpetuated as we would like to believe, but that just means we need to live every day like it could be our last. Some people live more in 20-years than others do in 20 eternities; it's not the time that matters it's the person." Eesheer responded with surprising and uncharacteristic depth.

"I guess there is no happy ever after is there? It's just a lie that we tell ourselves because the truth is so hard." Amber whispered, still feeling down as Eesheer wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close, prompting a gasp of surprise from the girl and a giggle as he poked her sides teasingly.

"You're wrong Amber, happily ever after doesn't mean forever, it never has… it just means time. Look at the Omega Omnisphere floating in front of us; it's been there for multiple eternities, multiple eternities! Through omnipotent wars, storms, fires, ice, extinction level events, and all manner of other tests including the tests of time. None of the Zenith Omnidonae really know what'll happen to us in the event of the prophesized 'Final Cataclysm' of the Omni-Totality Amber; none of us know when exactly that event horizon will occur."

"What I do know is that I trust AIB, and he has long theorized that like the Omega Omnispheres that make it up; the Omni-Omniverse has an endless reincarnation cycle and with it the rebirth of all those who reside in it… including us. If that's the case, then the so called 'Final Cataclysm' of the Omni-Omniverse is merely the preceding to a whole new beginning… the ultimate clean slate if you will. I may not like the idea of dying in any case, or of our time running out. And if the end comes I'm not going to take it sitting down and will do everything in my power to avert it if at all possible. But should we be unable to stop it, it is comforting to me to know that it won't really be the end of us… not really." Eesheer finished his exuberant speech with a rarely seen genuine, warm smile. Amber still looked a bit concerned, although he could tell his words were having the desired effect of improving her mood.

"But these reincarnations of the IB counterparts and everything else… they wouldn't really be us anymore, not this version of Amber and Eesheer IB anyways. We wouldn't remember our lives in this Omni-Totality or even having this conversation." She pointed out, and Eesheer's smile only seemed to widen. She was coming around; he could literally smell it off her.

"Does it really matter? I kind of like the idea of getting to know and fall in love with you all over again; hell, even if things play out the exact same way the next time around we won't even know it because we'll never remember any of it." He whispered lovingly in her ear as he saw her face burning up with a scarlet blush at this admission.

"How do you do that? You always seem so sure everything will work out and our love for each other will transcend the rebirth of the Omni-Totality itself… how? And how can we be sure the Omni-Totality works the same as the Omega Omnispheres?" Amber questioned him in a pleading tone, seeming almost desperate to gain whatever strength kept him going as Eesheer chuckled and pulled her into his lap… provoking an excited squeal from the girl.

"Because some things are beyond even the Omni-Omniverse Amber, and I've no doubt our love for one another is one of those things. Also, what is AIB's second golden rule of ZOF Mastery?" Eesheer responded to her question while asking one of his own, which prompted a giggle from the auburn-haired beauty as she recited it by memory.

"Nothing is singular or invariant; to be honest I always thought IB counterpart titles and the Omni-Omniverse were the sole exceptions to that rule. Do you really think they're not singular either?" Amber chirped, now far peppier as Eesheer nodded with her held in his arms. She laughed as she planted a searing hot kiss to his lips and their tongues wrestled for domination in each other's mouths… Things were getting really heated really fast and if Eesheer knew if they didn't calm down they'd both end up fucking before long.

Amber pulled away while nibbling on his bottom lip and looking up at him with an utterly sweet and seductive look on her face, her eyes glazed over with pure, sinful lust. "Eesheer… everything you said was surprisingly profound, and it really helped me; maybe a whole lot more than you know." She whispered with absolute reverence, and Eesheer gave a loud belch as he rubbed his stomach slightly.

"Must've been something I ate… speaking of which, what exactly is in that picnic basket of yours?" He queried like a curious cat, reaching over to open it up before drawing his hand back sharply when Amber slapped his hand away.

"Oi, I'm saving those for us later; I've put them in a state of temporal suspension so we could savor them while we watched the Omega Omnisphere slowly fall into the nothingness." Amber playfully admonished him while tutting at him with her index finger.

"Oh come on, don't be so parsimonious Amber; you know I love your home cooking." Eesheer whined, although the teasing grin on his face as he did so suggested he knew exactly what he was doing as Amber's pale skin turned a vibrant, healthy shade of red. She hated the effect he had on her; if he honestly believed she was the only one of them with absolute power over the other then he thought wrong.

"Hush you; you'll get it when I say you can have it and no sooner. I have something else in mind for us beforehand, and I think you're going to like it a whole lot better than any food I can make." Amber whispered seductively in his right ear, having been doing a bit of research via some Cosmopolitan magazines to get an idea for what she was planning to do… as well as some online research regarding the male's reproductive system. It was making her blush just thinking about it, and she wanted so badly to make Eesheer blush once in their existences together… but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. But that didn't mean she couldn't take their relationship to the next level; while they still had time on their side she planned to do something for him she never would've considered doing before their last ZIB crisis. Being so close to extinction had a curious way of reshuffling one's priorities it seemed.

Eesheer quirked an eyebrow, wondering what could be going through her head and hating that she was immune to his attempts to so much as hear her surface thoughts. She was as strong of a ZOF Master as he ever was, if not quite as versatile.

"What exactly do you mean by that I wonder?" He couldn't help but ask, wondering if Amber was going where he thought she was going with this as she played with a strand of her hair nervously.

"Before I answer that, answer me this since you've seen them a lot more than I have and even stuck with them all the way to the end; how long does it take for an exploded Omega Omnisphere to go completely dark?" She asked him, and Eesheer didn't hesitate to answer.

"One thousand eternities, give or take a few eons." He rattled off by sheer memory, and Amber's eyes bulged as she considered the implications. Once a ZOF Master got going with a fucking session alongside their mates; they could easily screw each other's brains out while eternities passed them by unaware, but still… to suggest this to him was making her nervous. She knew their kind had an insatiable sexual appetite and barely kept a lid on it at most times, but once they got going a lot of them never stopped. The fact they didn't need to breathe oxygen, sleep, or eat only served to make it easier; not to mention the male Master's complete lack of a refractory period.

Still, despite her nervousness… she was ready for this, and she would gladly make love to him until the end of days for her kind. If she and Eesheer were ever to die someday, then she would be happy knowing she got this off her bucket list. The idea of fucking in the Absent Realm while drifting through space on a chunk of space rock was interesting, but she wasn't particularly picky about the time or place and the scenery before them offered an alien beauty that neither of them was turned off by. It was like the ultimate Celestial light show which served the sole purpose of marking this occasion for both of them.

"Okay um… what I'm about to suggest to you is a little bit nerve-wracking for me, but I've been preparing for this for a while now and I can honestly tell you I'm ready for it. Man, this was so much easier in my head; okay I'll just come out and say it. Eesheer, I want you to make love to me." Amber inwardly praised herself for having the courage to finally confess to her ultimate desires for her longtime lover, and his reaction was well worth any initial embarrassment she might have felt. His eyes bulged to cartoon-like proportions, and for the first time since she met him his face flushed a dark, crimson-red that she would commit to memory for the rest of her days.

When he finally recovered from his shock and sensory overload, he glanced at Amber a little hesitantly and unsurely. "Amber, are you sure you want me to be your first? Are you certain you want to be mine? Because if you are than I can promise you I'm never letting you go! You need to be certain this is what you want though; because once we start I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stop." He warned her in an aberrantly serious voice. Amber wasn't dissuaded however and nodded, much firmer and steadfast this time.

"I'm sure, I wouldn't have asked you for this if I wasn't sure. I'm well aware of how buffed our sex drives are compared to any other sex gods from all the other pantheons; I want this Eesheer, and I want you, I need you so badly I can't stand it." She lustfully proclaimed, and Eesheer grew a large, Cheshire smile that teetered on the edge of absolute perversion. Amber squealed in delight when he grabbed her by the both sides of her waist and flipped her over on her back, cratering the space rock slightly with her body because he knew she could easily take everything he dished out and give it back to him in spades. The eternities of lovemaking that followed were beyond indescribable, and some of the greatest moments of Eesheer IBIB's former life as a ZOF Master…

XXXXX

Eesheer's fists clenched with all the tightness of a collapsing Omni-Totality's event horizon; thinking about how Amber had been right to worry about their limited time together and how it had never been enough. Looking back on that day, he realized she'd been trying to tell him something important and like a fool he had alleviated her concerns with words of comfort. The worst part was she believed him, and though what followed could only have been described as the best sex Eesheer had ever had; what happened after that infinitely intense lovemaking somehow managed to destroy his everything. He would've given anything to have her in his arms again; hell even her reincarnated counterpart in the new Omni-Totality would've sufficed as he was confident he could reconnect with her. But it wasn't to be, his ascendency to ZOF Grandmaster-status had seen to that.

"Stop… Don't even think about it! She would've wanted you to be happy and move on…" Eesheer tried telling himself, and while he sometimes thought he could've done without those nasty memories he couldn't bring himself to forget them. Sometimes, he felt it would've been easier if he had stayed in the Master-tier and died with the rest of his Omni-Totality, but then the other Grandmasters wouldn't have another of their vaunted allies would they? He grew bitter just thinking about them, and how they had ruined his life; yet underneath it all he knew he was the best Eesheer IB for the job, and he also knew it wasn't them he was mad it. Who he was really blaming was himself… for not being able to protect her from the monsters that took her from him that horrible night.

He was interrupted from his painful recollections by the sound of a loud crash and the thud of a person tripping over in his peripheral vision. "Oh no, I think I must've tripped again. I'm such a klutz." A sweet, angelic female voice said in a self-deprecating manner. Clearly this person had a skill for captioning the obvious as Eesheer's eyebrows rose to considerable heights. He threw all of his previous thoughts and depressing emotions to the wind and decided to help the poor girl stand at least. Time seemed to freeze in its tracks from his perspective as he made his way over to her in what felt like slow motion. His heart seemed to skip every other beat and every cell in his body entered a state of infinite, tingling excitation.

He noted her nun-like attire and the unintentional pantie shot she was throwing his way as something seemed to stir inside of him other than his boundlessly enhanced sex drive. It was something he recognized almost immediately due to descriptions given to him by AIB way back in the day, and something he thought ZOF Grandmasters couldn't receive unless they commanded the ESIT's to choose for them. For whatever reason, the ESIT's seemed hesitant to pass judgment on a Grandmaster in any case, and Eesheer had not been keen on ordering it to select a new soul mate for him; given that he was still hung up over Amber.

Still, he recognized the signs of a newly-spawning soul bond that only his people could achieve, and he cast his gaze to the sky with fire and fury in his eyes as he raised a fist in a threatening manner… feeling the infinite Omni-Totalities tighten around him in response to his rage. "Are you for fucking real?! Of all the times the ESITs would decide to choose a Grandmaster's mate without his consent it had to be me of all people?!" Eesheer grounded out in frustration but paused as he thought more about it. There was no way in heaven or hell that the ESITs would be presumptuous enough to choose a forever mate for ANY ZOF Grandmaster, so who did that leave for him to assign blame to? There was only one culprit who could've been responsible for commanding the ESITs to choose a mate for him… another ZOF Grandmaster, and he knew just who it was to. "Next time I see Ash Ketchum IBIB I'll kill him!"

Author's Notes: And there you have it folks, one chapter down and many more to come. Feel free to leave a review if it meets your fancy or if you spot any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, or just want to talk or have any questions. You might've noticed that my OCs have a lot of depth involved in their histories and back stories and what not, and again I don't blame any of you if you decide you don't like OC's at the main character… if that is not for you feel free to move on.

If you have any ideas for constructive criticism or how I can improve my writing in any way please feel free to share; I'm always trying to improve and anyone who can help me do that is much appreciated. I will say that most people respond better to positive reinforcement than negative, so keep your comments polite and civil please people. Also bear in mind that flames will be outright ignored and even laughed at; so have a good day guys.

I did my best to make this story and my characters relatable so if some of you still aren't pleased then just know I did everything I could at this stage in my career. Can I also say that Asia Argento is quite possibly the nicest female character I've ever seen in almost any Anime? She's too sweet and too good for a pervert like Issei in my opinion; even despite the fact that I've taken creative control of his character here.
