Alright, this is the re-write of my most famous DxD story, Awakening Of The Greatest One. Don't worry, the next chapters will be much bigger.
Chapter 1 - Awakening
Drifting in the middle of space, surrounded by countless stars and the boundless cosmos, was a small room. The room casually floated in space, traveling through galaxies, systems and universes. No matter where it went, the room remained unharmed and unscratched, its speed never faltering.
Within the room, there was some sparse decoration. The room couldn't be considered big, only a few dozen of square meters, but it was still of a good size. As for decoration, it was limited to a king-sized bed, a night-stand, some sofas and a small shelf.
Going further in the room, laying in the bed, was a sleeping figure. The figure was obviously in deep sleep, and his white bangs laid in an unruly manner, scattered all over the bed. Judging from his face alone, he seemed to be in his mid to late twenties, and he was without a doubt handsome.
As for the body that laid beneath the sheets, it was covered in a big black pajama, with small yellow ducks all around it. Between the legs of the mighty sleeping figure laid a large body-pillow, and if one looked closely, they would see that it had a picture that resembled a certain blue-haired, twin-tailed vocaloid, with a rather questionable attire. Well... lack of attire.
The mighty white-haired being's face was currently snuggled against the pillow, right in the area where the picture of the breasts were. On the corner of his mouth was a small droll, and his face was morphed into one of pure and blissful laziness.
Suddenly, the mighty being opened his mouth, still sleeping. "Zaza-chan~ My cookies~"
A couple of seconds later, his lazy expression got slightly more serious, as he seemed to be having some troubles in his dream. "Bara-chan, please don't join Zaza-chan..."
All of a sudden, the being's eye opened as quickly as lightning, as he roared with all his might. "My cookies!"
Meanwhile, his room was passing over a large galaxy, that was at least ten times the size of the Milky Way Galaxy. However, the moment the words left his mouth, it was as if reality had broke itself as all planets within it shattered into tiny pieces, including the stars. Not only that, all of the galaxies around it also exploded, resulting in the complete mayhem of over half the universe that he was currently at. And, all of that was caused... by his voice.
"Ara?" Noticing the place where he was at, the mighty being adopted a surprised expression. "I could have sworn that I was trying to get my cookies from those damn bratty fallen angels..."
After a few more moments – more than he would ever admit – realization hit him as his fist clashed against his opened palm in enlightenment. "So that was a dream..."
He then looked around once more, but he still couldn't see anything, as there was no illumination in the room. He raised his hand in a solemn manner, "Let there be light!"
As if awash by a wave of light, the room brightened up, allowing the mighty being to look at his surroundings. The first thing he did, however, was to laugh. "Damn, I have always wanted to say that..."
After speaking, only then did he take note of the size of the room and the lack of furniture. Snapping his fingers, the room grew a thousand times larger and the furniture got much, much more expensive. Looking at his new place, he smiled. "Oh yes, that's more like me..."
He then jumped up from his bed, and walked around the room, before finally arriving at the door, still clad in his almighty, fear-inducing, duck-marked pajamas.
With a yawn, the almighty being opened up the door, but all that he was met with was a black space, with countless small objects floating around. Seeing that, he couldn't help but to explain. "Damn, looks like some explosion happened lately... wonder what caused that."
"Well, it wouldn't hurt to fix it," The being yawned once more as he waved his hands, and around him, the galaxies, and all of the galaxies around him, were all restored to their original form. Now surrounded by planets, the being smiled satisfactorily. "Well, that's it for now.."
Taking a step back, he closed his door and walked back into his room, which was now bigger by many, many times. He then looked around, before unceremoniously throwing himself in the big and large sofas.
Adjusting his position, the being adopted a thoughtful expression. "Now that I have awakened, should I just go back to sleep?"
He then shook his head. "Nah, I'm too bored of sleeping..."
Looking around some more, he still didn't find anything interesting. At that moment, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah, it must have been a couple of centuries since I visited Earth... I should probably go there!"
He then closed his eyes, and concentrated his consciousness. After a while, he spoke.
"Oi, Chaos-chan, you there?"
For a couple of minutes, no reply came. Just as he was about to call again, the door to his room burst open as a being stormed inside.
With a flash, a small black form pounced on top of the mighty being, knocking him down to the ground, making him hit his head against the cold, hard floor.
The being didn't take any damage, but the floor, that could sustain even the explosion of supernovas, gained a deep crack that almost covered the entire length of the room. The almighty being looked up, and saw that snuggling on his chest, while purring, was a small, black cat.
"Chaos-chan..." The being murmured with a sweat-drop. Although he was taken aback by the cat's sudden action, he wasn't a stranger to them. If he could gain a penny for every time this cat pounced on him, then he would be... well, most likely the richest men in existence.
"Master! Master! Master!" The cat in front of him purred excitedly, as it constantly snuggled against his chest, rubbing its fur against the almighty, yellow ducks. Seeing his overly-attached servant, the almighty being could only sigh.
"Missed me?" His eyes softened up a little, since he knew how much this cat – Chaos-chan – cared for him. He then slowly patted it on the head slightly in an attempt to calm it down.
"Yes, master! I was so lonely without you..." The cat purred once more in sadness, as it jumped off of the almighty being's chest, allowing him to lift up his upper body. Seeing his chance, the almighty being did just that, as his silver-white hair scattered all over the ground.
His eyes, that were of a deep golden color, without pupils, glared at the cat with tenderness. "Been a while, huh, Chaos-chan?"
He then slowly lifted up his body and did some stretching exercise. While he did so, he engaged in conversation with the world's best (and only) omnipotent cat.
"Well, before I start things.. what's up with that form? Last time you were a snake, right? And before you were a thousand of kilometers one, universe-eating dragon. Before that, you were even an overgrown lizard... I thought you had a thing for reptiles. Why the feline form?"
"I decided to go for something difference for once," The cat smirked slightly, revealing a row of sharp teeth that could put even sharks to shame. As it did so, the cat's green eyes seemed to glow with happiness.
"I see..." The being nodded, as it started to do some quadriceps stretching exercises, by standing in one leg, and holding his other one with and arm. "Alright, for how much time have I slept?"
"Two centuries, three months, four days, three hours, twenty five minutes and three seconds, assuming that you woke up the moment you called me." Chaos quickly answered, raising its chest up proudly, as if he had done something praise-worthy.
"Ah..." The almighty being couldn't even think of a coherent answer to that. If it was anyone else, he would have assumed that it was simply saying random numbers, but he knew Chaos-chan's personality; it was completely obsessed with him. Needless to say, that creeped him out slightly – scratch that – greatly.
Moving on to wrist stretching exercises, the being spared the cat a glance, and seeing the way it puffed its chest proudly, he had to resist the urge to sweat-drop. "Alright, so any news?"
"News?" The cat murmured before shaking its head. "Nothing much..."
"I see.." The white-haired male was about to say, but was rendered speechless in the next moment.
"Nothing much apart from a huge war between the three factions, the death of God, the four Maous and Satans, the devils being able to resurrect humans into devils, Great Red claiming the Dimensional Gap, Ophis getting mad and creating the Khaos Brigade, some betrayals popping up here and that..."
Chaos then continued for about fifteen minutes, narrating all of the important events that had happened in the last two thousand years. In the end, Chaos concluded with: "As I said, nothing worthy of your interest..."
"Nothing... Much... you say?" The almighty being almost face-planted into the ground upon hearing so many things. Seriously, how much has the world changed in just two hundred years, three months, four days, three hours, twenty five minutes and three seconds?! Wasn't this a bit too much?!
Taking in a deep breath, he stopped doing his upper trapezius stretching and turned around to face the omnipotent black cat, that was gazing at him innocently. Sighing, he let his body fall down on the sofa behind him. "You mentioned a war... How long has it been?"
"Two thousand years," Chaos immediately answered. "And about seven months, seventeen..."
Before it could continue, however, the almighty, duck-stamped-pajama-clad being roared. "Two thousand years?! But I slept for two hundred! How come I only find out about it now?!"
"About that..." Chaos suddenly adopted a troubled expression. "At the time, when you were awake, I tried telling you, but you were so busy making a living hell out of that boy's life..."
"*Ahem * Living hell? You mean training, right?" The being's eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing that, the cat quickly shut its mouth as it noticed its slip of tongue.
"Yes, training! Did I say living hell? Hahaha, it must be old age.."
"Yeah, right," The being scoffed with his arms crossed before sighing. "Alright, it seems that some pretty interesting stuff has happened while I was out..."
He then gazed at Chaos with an excited glint in his eyes. "Hey, I was just thinking about getting rid of my boredom.. How about we head back to Earth?"
"Head back?" The cat's head perked up, a smile flashing on its face. "Really? You're finally coming back?"
"Yeah, yeah..." The being nodded, but suddenly stopped as he adopted a thoughtful expression. "Still, I don't want to randomly pop up there out of the blue, like I have always done... I want something more exciting..."
He then stopped as an imaginary light-bulb flashed above his head, his left hand that was clenched into a fist falling down on his right one, that was opened. "I know! How about I try to experience life as an earthling from the very start? It would be a different experience!"
This may sound strange, but once you reach the level of power that this being has, concepts such as common sense become as worthless as fart. Not only that, he was bored out of his mind, and had already tried out everything... so, why the hell not?!
"From the start? You mean... as a baby?"
"Yup!" The being nodded excitedly as it raised its body from the sofa. "Think about it! I have never had any parents... Hell, I have never been a baby! From the moment I was born, I was already this handsome motherf**ker!"
Was it mentioned that this being was conceited? No? Well, surprise surprise, he is!
"Master, I don't really see any reasoning behind this, but alright..." The cat could only sigh, knowing that once its master decided on something, he wouldn't back down, no matter what. "But, how about your powers and body? Should they be sealed, or...?"
Before it could even finish speaking, the being in front of it raised his hands, and the body that stood in front of it was replaced by a phantom image. With a happy look in his eyes, the almighty being smirked. "I have already sealed my body in my soul. What next?"
"Well, you should choose a name..." The cat started.
"Name?" The being thought over for a bit. "Oh, why not use the one that I have used before when interacting with the current time-line? Let's go with Issei!"
"Issei?" The cat nodded. "Alright, master. I'll be meeting you in three years from now... make sure to not kill anyone in my absence... well, even if you do, there won't be much difference..."
The cat then waved its hands (paws), and Issei's soul disappeared. At the same time, on earth, a brown-haired woman was in the middle of labor. Just as the baby was about to come out, Issei's soul, that had flown across time and space, overlapped with the baby's body, before entering it.
Back in the floating room, Chaos looked up at the ceiling. "Master, it feels good to have you back..."
In the next moment, Chaos disappeared, leaving behind the room, which continued to float through space, forever sailing around the cosmos.
