There's an end to everything, whether you like it or not. One day, everything is going to end, leaving only empty space the ones above the gods would stare at and say, "Holy shit this world was a mess."
What many people ask is, "What happens to the people of legends when they die?"
Some people believe they are reincarnated to another life as a higher race of being then they were currently.
Some think that they go to some heaven above the heavens, where they just hang out and have fun until they decide to actually die.
And some believe that they just die like every other thing that has ever lived.
I guess you could say it's one of them.

Hello!
I'm Frater, Latin for a comrade, or brother. I don't have a family name though, never really needed it due to how unique my name is...
I'm for the most part a school student with good grades and a mysterious life.
Mostly due to my... unique job. They're nothing too bad, really. I'm more or less an overseer, of sorts.
What do I oversee, you ask?
Legends, to be simple. What defines a legend, according to the people I oversee? A person with a good heart and better confidence, enough to actually get them to act on it.
I deal with many types of beings. Gods, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, and everything in between. Even sentient dragons and the like.
It's fun if I have to be honest. I get to hang out with people no one else can ever see, listen to legends coming straight out of the person's mouths, that sorta thing.
I made sure to make their living conditions as nice and comfortable as possible, which led me to learn many, many things. This comes with the help of the people I oversee, of course. useless people never show up within our home, as they all are able to do something for the rest of the team.
We're all one big, strange, and slightly dysfunctional family. A happy one, at that.
They can pass on at any time, but none of them have yet. Mostly because none of them actually wanted to die, and the ones who did... well... let's just say that we take care of them quickly.
The people I like hanging out the most with is God of the Bible and his family. They all have conflicting ideas and have a history so long that it's actually kind of frightening, but they still love each other like family, which brings a tear to my eye.
I give them a few things to get rid of their boredom, such as allowing them to see my life live. They sometimes comment on something, particularly on history and math, saying how deranged or weird it is.
The Legends also teach me combat and magic, something I'm really grateful for. Training with the best of the best though has made my body change, leaving the girls at my school to ogle me, which makes for an embarrassing scene for when I enter my Realm.
My realm is my Sacred Gear, where all the legends reside, and I can actually pull them out into reality, but at the cost of me having control over them. They never wanted to anyway, they're content with their situation and isn't planning on going anywhere.
I'm very grateful to all of them.
I was an orphan ever since I was born and I was given from one household to another.
I never had a true sense of family. But my Realm allowed me to become friends and family to people and actually stick with them.
I don't need money or anything, I was never picky with what I have.
I just hope that I and my old family never get into trouble.
But I have a slight feeling that's exactly what's going to happen.
(Break!)
I transferred to Kuoh Academy due to the fact that they have a college combined with their high school. It used to be an all-female academy through all 4 schools, but they recently went co-ed.
I bet some weird perverts decided to go there...
Bah, no need to care about that.
I put on my new uniform and stashed my pocket watch on the breast pocket.
I looked at my body at the mirror with a sigh.
I had bright green eyes and black hair. It was in a flat part with the short side on my left. I had a scar a sword would do on my right cheek and on the left side of my neck.
'You ready for your first day at Kuoh, kid? I bet the girls there are lovely.'
I chuckled at God's words.
Actually, never got to mention that most of the people in my Realm can talk to me in my head. The people who can't are those who aren't competent in magic, but they never really gave a crap about that.
'Heh, I bet they do... Hey wait, why'd you tell me that?'
'Oh? What's wrong with admiration for beauty?'
I sighed before heading on downstairs from my bathroom to the kitchen. My house was really clean, mostly because I had everyone in the Realm yell at me whenever I left a piece of trash on the ground or whenever I didn't clean the dishes.
It serves for very good encouragement.
Anyways, I began cooking up some simple breakfast. Just some scrambled eggs in toast.
What? I like toast.
After eating, I put away the utensils and plate into the sink. I grabbed my suitcase, put on my shoes, and brought out my pocket watch to check the time.
6:30 A.M.
'For fucks' sake.'
'Language, young man.' (God)
'Sorry, sorry.'
Welp, I have some time to kill...
'How about a spar or two? Can't hurt.'
That was Alexander The Great.
Yeah, that egotistical bastard. He was quickly handled with after he experienced the talk down of so many God-like beings it shattered his pride to a million pieces. After which, he crouched down in the corner for a good day or so. After which he came back with a new resolve:
"I will help this young man get plenty of women and power!"
What a mess... Bah, any young men would like the idea. Hell, even Jesus himself said that he would've liked some more female company other than dead bodies he needed to resurrect.
When he told me that, he was promptly scolded hard. Both by his mother, and his biological father.
It was a glorious sight to behold.
'Alright, I'm up.'
I clicked a button on the back of the pocket watch, which creates a portal to the main building.
The main building was created in an inn-like fashion. It had wooden tables and chairs with soft cushions, a bar with the drinks of everything in existence, thanks to God. The rooms upstairs were all made for a king, made for the residence's liking.
"Ah, Frater! You came!"
I looked behind me to see Alexander with a grin. He has brown hair and yellow eyes, something every Legend gains when they get here. He is wearing some Ancient Greek battle armor and an iron sword in his sheath.
"What's up, Alex-san?"
I gave him a small hug, which he gave back with a laugh.
"Nothing much, I just sparred with Sargon-san not too long ago."
"What's the record right now? 342-340?"
"I think so... Doesn't matter now, we got some spars ourselves to do."
Time in the Realm goes the same rate as reality, which makes me have to have a clock in all the rooms and building in the Realm.
I nodded at Alexander's reply, summoning an iron sword of my own. I also changed my clothes to the same armor Alexander had.
"Alright, let's do this quickly."
(Break!)
I did a small salute to Alexander while wiping off my sweat with a towel.
"Alright, that's it for now. Any more and you wouldn't be able to walk to school."
"Gotcha. Thanks for everything."
"Of course, young man! Remember to conquer both the world and the heart!"
I chuckled as I went through the portal again, ending up at the entrance to my home.
You can't bring things you summoned in the Realm into Reality. Except for the Legends and their equipment, of course. If you had any clothes on you that you summoned and walked out, you'd immediately change to the one you wore coming in.
But enough about the Realm, I need to get to school!
I grabbed my suitcase once again, checked the pocket watch, and headed on out.
(Break!)
I was nearing the gates of the school until I heard a loud fangirl shout,
"IT'S HIM! IT'S THE SHADOW PRINCE!"
Oh shit.
Well, time to explain this tidbit...
So the rapid and completely untold change of my body leads to a lot of girls suddenly leer at me. Thing is, is that none of them knew where the hell I came from, leading to the name "Shadow Prince."
To be honest, it's a better name than some bullshit like "Oppai Dragon" or some garbage...
Anyways, I decided to give a small wave to them, much to their content and walked on into the school grounds.
Now I'm no Alexander; but man, do I know what the hell's going to happen.
Suddenly, all eyes were immediately locked onto me, as they were all stunned at my massive eg- I mean sudden appearance.
I kept a humble smile on my face and kept moving forward-
Wait, where the hell am I supposed to go...
Hm... Maybe I should ask someone? Yeah, seems like a good idea...
I walked up to a light pink haired girl. She had a nice figure, but nothing to be too excessive at. She began to blush at my approach, and the surrounding audience held faces of jealousy or envy.
"Hello, miss?"
"U-um, yes?"
"Do you know where the Student Council office is? I'm quite lost out in this big place..."
I said it with a chuckle to try to ease her in and it looks like she took it.
"Y-yeah, I'll bring you along."
"Thanks a lot."
I said it with respect and calmness, which allowed her to give her a genuine smile.
Smiles are nice.
(Break!)
"Thank you very much, Katase-san."
"I-it's no problem, Frater-san."
She speed-walked away with a blush on her face. I shrugged it off and knocked on the brown door with "Student Council" on the nameplate on the door. He heard some mutter and whispers before a "Come in" was uttered by a female. He opened the door to see several women surround the desk of a girl with short, black hair and violet eyes. She wore black glasses and had an... average build.
"Hello, Frater-san. My name is Souna Shitori, the president of the Student Council." (?)
"Hello. I would say my name, but it appears that you already know it."
"Indeed... You seem to have caused a ruckus out in the front of the school." (?)
I sweatdropped a little before bowing down a little. I genuinely felt bad, since I couldn't really do anything to help.
"It's fine, Frater-san. Do you have a family that we can take the family name out of? It'll streamline some procedures we have."
"Hm..."
That's a new one. I tapped my chin.
'Hey guys, any ideas?'
'Hm?... Volkov.' (Alexander)
'Any reason for that?'
'It comes from one of my subordinates a really long time ago... He was a good man.'
'Alright, I think he wouldn't mind. I bet the name is dead anyways...'
"I think Volkov would do."
Souna nodded, which made me sigh in relief in my head.
I learned to keep a poker face a long time ago because I have to be good at keeping secrets and telling lies. Trust me, keeping a face full of emotion without showing your cards is the best face you can lie with.
Anyways, Souna handed a girl with white hair a paper. The girl had curls on the bottom of her hair and had teal eyes. The girl handed the paper to me, doing a small bow before returning to her spot. I read the contents of the paper, which seems to be my schedule... Class 2-1, aye? I look back to Souna and nodded.
"Thank you all for helping me out."
"It's nothing to be worried about, this is our job after all."
I put out a V-shape with my fingers as I walked out the door, closing it behind me.
Now to find my class...
(Break!)
(3rd Person)
A few moments after Frater left the room, everyone sighed in relief except for Souna.
"What was with that guy? Just being near him made me want to run away..."
The white-haired girl, Momo Hanakai, said that while twirling her hair with a frown on her face. While no one wanted to say it, everyone nodded in agreement except for Souna.
"It's probably not intentional, Hanakai-san. It might just be a passive aura... Maybe he'd make for a good Piece."
Tsubaki Shinra, a girl with long black hair and glasses, the same ones as Souna, raised one of her eyebrows in curiosity to Souna.
"You really think so? What do you think he has?"
"I don't know Tsubaki-san, but all I know is that he has something hidden and he wants it to stay that way."
"What makes you say that?"
"His movements were... too perfect. He planned absolutely everything he did, even to the slightest of movements. His aura was intimidating yet still human. He most likely already awakened his Sacred Gear, if he has one and is trying to keep his cards on his chest."
"It's weird that anyone would go that far for such a simple conversation."
"Maybe he knows about us already, or maybe he's just paranoid. It's impossible to tell at the moment... But we'll have to wait and see."
(Break!)
(1st Person, Frater)
I stood outside of the entrance to the room, as I listened in to the teacher talking.
"Everyone, we have a new transfer student. You may ask questions once he writes his name on the board."
Just the mention of a 'he' slightly annoyed both genders, as to them, it's a potential pervert or a potential prince. The teacher clearly ignored this though and looked to the door.
"Alright, come in."
Alright, guess it's my time to shine.
I walked in, immediately gaining the attention of all the classmates. I nodded to the teacher before writing 'Frater Volkov' onto the board. I faced the class and did a small bow.
"Hello everyone. Name's Frater Volkov. I was born in Kyoto for a while before coming to Kuoh after a problematic situation. But enough about that. I hope we all are able to get along."
The teacher nodded to me, probably in acknowledgment, before facing the class.
"Any questions?"
Katase, the person I met a while ago, raised her hand.
"Do you know those two?"
She pointed to two people. One had a shaved head while another had glasses and brown hair, parted halfway. I don't think I know those two...
'Hey guys, have I encountered those two before?'
'No, I don't believe so.' (God)
'Thanks.'
"No, I haven't. Why would you want to know?"
"No reason..."
Strange... She lowered her hand with a sigh of relief... I think.
Another girl raised her hand.
"Do you have a girlfriend?!"
"No?"
This looks troubling. Oh well, I'll just work with the flow.
I answered a few more questions, mostly just random things I didn't have to think about. After the interrogation, the teacher allowed me to sit in any of the open seats, to which I sat at the back corner near the doors.
I always prioritize the chair that's closest to the exit.
Always.
(Break!)
The school wasn't too bad so far and I'm liking the cleanliness. I was walking to my next class until I heard some distinct chatter.
"Damn! Look at those jugs! I'd kill to fuck those!"
"Hurry up man! We need to hurry up..."
Who the hell...
I speed-walked to the source of the sound to see some interesting things. The bald guy and the glasses geek were peeking through a hole in the door. I glanced at the nameplate and scowled. I quietly went behind them and prepared a surprise.
"Boys peek."
""Huh?""
They both looked back to me to see a foot ready to kick them straight through the door.
"MEN BARGE IN!"
I kicked them through the door, which was accompanied by a yell by them and the girls inside.
The guys tried to recover, but I grabbed them by the collar.
"Resistance is futile, fools."
I dropped them both and looked to the girls in the locker room.
"Patch the hole in the door when you can, aye?"
Some of them nodded while some others blushed.
Heh. Cute.
I put out a V-shape while walking away.
All in a day's work, you know?
(Break!)
(3rd Person)
Rias Gremory stared out the window of the abandoned school building with her arms crossed. The stance pushed out her chest, making her 99 cm bust seem larger. She had long, crimson hair which down to her thighs. She had green eyes and an overall body worthy of being called one of the "Great Onee-Samas."
The other Ones-Sama approached behind her, around 5 feet. Akeno Himejima had an even bigger bust than Rias, 102 cm. She has violet eyes and black hair. Her hair is kept in a long ponytail except for two strands, which are kept at her sides. The ponytail reaches to her legs, and are kept with an orange ribbon.
"Rias-sama? May I ask what's wrong?"
"...The new transfer student."
"Frater Volkov? What, has he already captured your heart, like many of the others?"
"No. I had a discussion with Sona-san. She met with the boy."
"And what of it?"
"She said his aura and movements are... irrational for such a mundane conversation."
"So what do you propose?"
Rias looked to Akeno with hardened eyes.
"Send out Koneko-san. I think she'll be able to spy on him without grabbing attention."
"Very well."
Akeno did a small bow before leaving, which left Rias alone to stare out into the window again.
"How much longer do I have?"
(Break!)
Wow! 3K words on the first chapter. Amazing, huh?
This project of mine took around two to three weeks to finish and I was really motivated. I like the idea of a Gachi-like power someone has in DxD.
In essence, this is a wish fufillment for me. I don't know if that'll turn some of you guys away, but I really want this to work.
Remember that I'm always up for suggestions and comments about any of my fanfics.
I plan on looking out for plotholes a lot more closely, so maybe that'll help?
I don't know. I just write this for fun.
Anyways, thank you all for reading this.
Peace.
