A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. There was a writer who was bored as hell and decided he was going to write ten thousand words a day in order to both pass time and improve his skills. So he went on a journey that led him to the nearby starbucks where he sat and wrote… In this story, you might encounter ridiculous situations where something inconsequential is explained and blown over proportions, much like this introduction. This is because I am not a very good writer, and need a lot of help getting to two thousand words in my stories. If your advice isn't that "this story is too goddamn long winded" then please leave it on the website as I am looking to get better. Before I begin I would like to give a shout out to I'mjusttryingtofindmyway and his story the spider as it was such a wondrous idea that I just had to get off my ass and finally write something. This story is for all the times I sat and waited for the next chapter to come out, but having to wait like a month before it does . anywho that's it my rant.

Chapter 1 the beginning DXD

The last thing I remember was reading. I don't remember what, maybe it was some sort of fanfic or something, after that was colours and noise and massive headaches.

I am pretty certain that I've been reincarnated, since i can see my stubby little arms flail around when I try to move, not an easy feat since everything seems super hard to do.

I hear talking, or what I assume to be talking, it's my conclusion that my brain is not developed enough to really retain thoughts at the moment since I can't comprehend what is being said to me, or really recognize that something is being said besides mumbling.

I have some instinctive knowledge that I'm suppose to know what they are saying, which led me to believe that the reason I don't is because I can not really think in thoughts at the moment.

For some reason I can think fine as long as I don't focus on my senses, maybe it has something to do with souls or something, I call reincarnation magic bullshit.

18 Weeks

I'm capable of understanding what is being said now, at 18 weeks my brain is apparently developed enough for me to recognize that something is being said to me, and devil magic is what allows me to understand what is being said.

Yes, devil magic. I am being reborn as Riser Phenex, the third son of Phenex family. Which makes this world the DXD verse.

Honestly, I am beyond panic, I didn't bat an eye since I was expecting something like this after thinking about it for a bit in my down time, between crying for food, crying for hugs, crying for diapers and what not.

Now I wouldn't have been disappointed if I had been reincarnated into just a random life, without magic swords and other random bullcrap, but in all the stories I've read about reincarnation, dimension hopping into one where anime was real is most common for ROBs, and if I had died the normal way, wouldn't I remember my death?

So he probably just picked me up and dropped me off.

At this point I refuse to think about what happened to my body, maybe he will return me to that body once this one dies or something… or maybe there's a FUCKING BABY RUNNING AROUND IN MY FUCKING BODY…..

No it's whatever, there's nothing I can do at this point, who knows maybe I was just found dead one day, maybe I had a heart attack at 26 or something, unlikely but not impossible.

Maybe I died naturally and ROB didn't just fucking randomly pick me up and throw me into a baby, maybe I was hit with a flying piano, and died instantly. All of those would certain be more normal than reincarnation.

8 Month

It's been 8 month since my rebirth, like I was saying last time before I sort of went off the rails, DXD verse.

Yes DXD verse is kinda bullshit in its system, however I regard myself as fairly lucky.

This isn't natsu verse where a wrong body can just make you the bottom of the heep forever, or worm verse where even if you're the strongest, you'll just have to wait to fucking die, or RWBY verse where you're fighting against tides of grim or, and I shudder to think, the pokemon verse where if it made any sense the pokemons would kill every last human to stop them from enslaving more pokemon, I mean that's the only thing that would make sense, they're smart enough, and have super powers…

In DXD nothing is really that bad, sure there's war, but as far as I know Riser doesn't really join any in his lifetime, all the most overpowered beings in this world kind of ignore everything else, and the next tier power are in a sort of nuclear deterrence situation.

Everyone has pretty much tired out, and no one is really looking forward to having another fight, with the exception of maybe the old devil faction. Obviously I would need a lot of power to survive in this world, however it is easier when you know what is coming and what you could do to gain power.

Besides instant regeneration and power over heat is so broken.

Sairaorg Bael has shown, with the devil magic system, you don't even need any family powers, and can reach near the top by just training alone, which means with power over regeneration, I should have a shorter learning curve.

Ok so to ensure I don't forget anything we should first think about what kind of "build" I want to go for, obviously I would try to learn magic, as a devil not doing so would make me an idiot, but I would also need a powerful physique, turning into a pure mage is kind of boring, so I would need touki, or maybe I can learn senjutsu.

I would need some sort of structure analysis skill that allows me to adjust my learning curve, to avoid going on the wrong road, and a powerful peerage, a clairvoyance skill as well as a teleportation, making it easier for me to discover who I am searching for and get there faster.

Obviously martial arts and combat training.

So now I have a list of criterias to fulfil in order to become a ultimate class devil, this would all be much easier if I had a teacher, If I could learn my clans ability at a ridiculous early age, I can leverage them to allow me to search for the teacher I am thinking of, in this case, Sun Wukong.

If i reach him early enough, I might be able to add Cao Cao into my peerage.

Other possible longinus users I can add into my team are boosted gear, divine dividing, Regulus Nemea, Canis Lykaon, and Sephiroth Graal.

Obviously I can not have all the longinus users, but having 2 would make my team a powerhouse, and 3 an almost invincible peerage.

Saving Valerie has to wait till after Gasper escapes, and same with Vali, as I can not reach him before he runs away from home.

As for Issei maybe I can create some trouble for him and take him in "by accident".

Of course I would need the clairvoyance spell before any of this. Hmm… As I waited for my body to mature I plotted my next moves.

Month 14 (day 430)

Over the last few month I have practiced with magic, and experimented with my regeneration.

I didn't even bother to hide my it, as I need them to think I'm something special.

The magic I mean, not my experiments, my new mother would go insane if she knew the crap I was dealing with as I experimented with the Phenex regeneration.

So first Magic, I had after a couple of days learned to explode the fire outwards, as fire was a part of who I was, finding it was fairly easy, but moving it outside of my body was a little harder.

Once I was used to it, it becomes a lot easier, letting it explode forth is something I can do without much effort now, but controlling it, and making it turn circles around me was a lot more difficult.

since I knew that the devil magic system stems on imagination, just focusing on the fire circling seems to be work, but having to direct it towards other directions takes lots of time, and mental effort.

This is suppose to be easier than other types of magic since I have a strong affinity for fire, oh god.

I can see how someone would become amazing at this, after a long time of practice, but imagine having to do this for another element that you can't use as easily, it's no wonder most devils stick with their own strengths.

I suppose just because you can do everything doesn't mean it comes easily and to reach the top it's clearly better to stick to what you're good at, after all anything can become strong enough if you pump enough power into it.

I suppose this is why devils value demonic power so much, as it's usually what powers their strengths, even in the case of Sairaorg Bael who doesn't have as much demonic power, he choose to focus on tokai instead, and threw away magic in favour of physical strength.

During the day time, I focus on the fire manipulation ability and demonic power control, and I try to pump as much demonic power out as possible, I can feel myself becoming stronger.

The demonic power comes out easier as I try my best to strain its usage, it's doesn't even seem to be linear growth, but like exponential growth instead.

Unlike in Mushoku Tensei there is no way to measure my magic power growth with water balls, as I don't have the control to uniform my fire's size and intensity.

I am visibly becoming stronger extremely quickly, where I can first only shot out bursts of fire it now comes out in steady streams, where I can only keep the fire around for a fraction of a second, now easily becomes minutes.

I can also FEEL the demonic power becoming... more, like a cup becoming a tub, I now have something to draw upon when I need it, like a reserve that can be called upon at anytime.

The reaction of my parents are unexpected, they were happy but also easily accepted my usage of my powers.

Is it normal for toddlers to start shooting fire? I have no idea but it seems they are paying more attention to me because of the consistency of my power usage.

Anyway they seem happy so I don't even know or care. What's the worst that could happen?

During the night, I experiment with my body a little, and push/run my demonic power through it.

I'm taking a page from Naruto verse here and trying to use my demonic power like chakra flow in order to make my physique stronger.

So far it's not been really working, as my power doesn't really "flow" as it does blow up.

I started trying in small quantities and the explosions only blow up my muscles, which regen almost instantly.

The pain is a little ridiculous, when I first tried I cried for hours, making my parents confused as I was already healed by then, but my body is adapting faster than should be possible with just regeneration.

I attribute this to being a baby, as my cells are still new and growing stage, the constant explosion FORCES my body to adjust to the demonic power.

Since it worked, I obviously had to continue. Now nearly 6 month later, my body can already take demonic power and increase its durability.

I can tell because now it takes more demonic energy to make it explode, I can also tell that the cells in my body are retaining the demonic energy to some extent, which makes them not only resistant to my demonic power but also acts as a sort of battery, which can be charged with demonic energy.

This combined with the magic system of the DXD world made it so that my physique really did become stronger, as long as I "activate" the demonic energy in my cells. I should think about changing them such that they can absorb the sunlight or something, superman logic would be pretty amazing.

So that's how I've been spending my days for the last 6 month, magic practicing, impressing my parents, exploding myself and whatnot.

I have recently come back to an idea I had before, the whole soul is weird and reincarnation is bullshit magic thingy.

My idea is that my identity, should be linked to my soul instead of my body, as I was able to think as an individual even before my body was able to understand sounds and words, even though it was capable of taking it in, and translating it.

So maybe, if I use the same "demonic flow" ability on my brain i can change how it works? I already kind of know that the muscle changes are because of my "intent" rather than just exploding my muscles, I am changing it by destroying it and regrowing it with magic, but by filled with my intent, along with the malleability of a baby.

So if I want to increase my brains capacity can't I just do it, and my soul will have to do the whole intent thingy thingamajig.

Honestly I'm like 1 years old, I'm fairly positive that I will retain my sense of self even if my memories are gone after I blow my brain up, best of all I shouldn't even feel that much pain since my brain will be gone. Hmm….

Month 14 (day 435)

Sonnovabitch

Ok so good news and bad news.

Good news is that my memories are fine, either the regeneration worked on my memories or my soul is the thing that retains it.

Also the intent based bullshit worked, I can feel my brain become faster, I can process things better and think much faster than before.

It's like getting a massive upgrade on your hardware, which is also unfortunate, as that means I would have to do it again, and It HURTS LIKE HELL.

Not the initial blow up, but the resulting migraine. Apparently even if you get a new brain, the headache still sticks with you.

Other minor side effects include losing your motor function, now I have to relearn how to raise my arms, and it becomes a bit confusing with my legs and what not.

But with my increased brain function, this process becomes easier, also I'm still fucking 1 years old, no one is expecting me to suddenly walk and talk, so the damage is low.

I had trouble with my vision, something about images being inverted, this issue actually proceeded for a couple of days, as I wanted to ensure there's no permanent injuries, I didn't blow up my brain again to escape the pain, I also need to stay awake during the day in case someone finds me with my brains leaking out of my nose or something.

I don't know what happens when I'm healing, but I assume it only took a few hours, as when I came to, everyone was still asleep, and no one fussed about me during the day time, so it couldn't have been overnight.

Phenex regeneration is bullshit too.

Today my vision finally flipped, god was it disorenting to not know which side was up down left or right, my enhanced brain power figured it out, but it still wouldn't flip.

The headache lasted 3 days, vision distortion lasted 5, and I'm finally ready to continue doing stupid shit. I had held off on training my magic and body during these few days, which seems to delight my parents.

Hmm I didn't realize they were freaked out by my antics, or maybe they're just happy I'm being normal.

My father told me that it's fine to take breaks, but don't give up or something other bullshit like that, are you expecting me to understand you? I'm like 1 bro, do they think I'm like a weirdo or something?
