AN: OK, so where do I start for my first story… hmmm… Well, let's get the welcome out of the way. Hi, I am The Harem God, the author of this story. This is my first story so please be lenient with your harshness, don't like the way I wrote something, give me constructive criticism rather than just saying 'it sucked.' Next, I have yet to see a DxD FF with an american OC MC, so I'll be the first (maybe) to try something like this. It will be first-person, as that's what I feel comfortable writing in, and there will be some slang that Josh uses that some of you might not get and I hope that doesn't impede on the quality of the story. Also, Josh will be speaking in English rather than Japanese at points and those moments will be signified by italics. Lastly (I think), I will be changing up some of Rias's pawns to be mutation pieces, as I plan on Josh being on the same level of strength as Issei down the road (if not stronger). Oh yeah, one more thing, Josh will have a sacred gear of my own creation, as I'm overflowing with ideas on how it could be written.

Now, with all the formalities out of the way, let's get into The Bass-Boosted Devil…

*******************************Chapter 0: Prologue******************************

Ughhhh… I really hate the airport. So many people rushing to either get home, or away from home. It's annoying. Sadly, I have to deal with it until my flight is ready to board.

"I've been sitting here for an hour, how much longer am I gonna have to wait?" I thought out loud, becoming more and more agitated with every passing minute.

"Calm yourself Josh, do you really want to leave this country that bad?" My father, who was waiting with me, tried to reason with me. "I waited for five hours for me and your mother's flight to Hawaii."

"Do you think I care? I spent all night laying in my bed worrying if my life's gonna be just as shitty in Japan as it is here." I spat out, due to both my anger and being exhausted. "...Sorry."

"Don't worry about it, I know it'll improve at least a little bit. A nice change of scenery and being forced to use a language besides our native one will hopefully put a pep in your step."

"You do remember that your not coming with me, right?" I asked him, genuinely wondering if he thought he was coming with me to Japan, earning a deadpan expression from him.

"Quite possibly the dumbest question you've ever asked me. Do you see any bags anywhere around me that aren't yours? Also, I don't know jack shit about the Japanese language."

"You're such an asshole sometimes you know that?" I said, in Japanese, earning another deadpan from him.

"I have no idea what you just said but I'm assuming it was an insult." He said, causing me to chuckle lightly. "Oh, your flight is ready to board."

"Really?" I turned to the board with all the flights statuses on them, and noticed he was right. "Well shit, 'bout fucking time."

"Hey, watch the language, you're only a junior. Plus, from what I've read Japan is supposedly a more respect-based place than America is." His slight scolding causing me to sweatdrop. "Well, you better hurry, don't want to miss the flight."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm gonna miss you and mom." I hugged him, tighter than I ever have before, earning a pained groan from him as well as cracking his back.

"Hey hey take it easy, I'm getting old and you're a lot stronger than you think." I laughed at his self-deprecation. "I'm gonna miss you too, son."

With our goodbyes said and our hug over, I made my way over to the boarding dock for my flight. '8 hours huh…' I thought to myself, wondering if I would survive 8+ hours without the internet. 'Well, at least I have my music to be me through it.'

After stowing my bags and taking my seat, I looked around at the other passengers. 'Huh… mostly Japanese, although I shouldn't be surprised.' A few minutes pass by, as I wondered who would be sitting next to me, and I noticed a lady with a baby board. 'Oh please god no, anywhere but next to me'

And to my absolute horror, she sits down next to me. 'This is gonna be an awful 8 hours.' I groaned, putting on my soundproof headphones and turning my music up to full blast.

*****8 hours of torture later*****

"What the hell, these are supposed to be soundproof, but I heard that baby wailing the entire time, even over my music" I muttered, after grabbing my bags and leaving the airport. "What's the name of the town I'm staying in again? Kuoh, I think?" I hailed a taxi, and told him the address of my apartment and that it was in Kuoh. "That's quite a ways away, you sure you have money for that American?"

"I wouldn't have gotten in this taxi if I didnt, Asshole." I responded, a bit annoyed at being called 'American,' although I said the last word in English, not wanting to start trouble in my first five minutes of being in Japan. "OK, I was just making sure, Asshole" I sweatdropped. 'Its gonna be a long car drive, isn't it.'

After arriving at my apartment, and paying a little extra on my fare as an apology, I plopped onto my bed. "I start school in two days, and I'm fucking exhausted. Not a great start Joshua, not at all."

Boom. First chapter of my first story done. I hope you guys enjoyed, at least somewhat. Now, I will get some semantics out of the way. One, the sacred gear Josh has will be similar to the Boosted Gear, in the sense that it will allow him to boost his power over time, but not through a timed interval. I won't reveal any more than that. Two, I am not sure if there will be lemons or not further down the road, as I'm not sure how far I'll get into this story. Three, yes, Josh will have a harem. It wouldn't be HighSchool DxD if he didn't. But, I'm not sure on who to put into it. Rias and Asia will for sure be in Issei's harem still, as that's necessary for the story. But everyone else is up for grabs. Lastly, I'll describe Josh a bit in terms of appearance. He is 6'3, 150 pounds. Just past shoulder-length blonde hair, with heterochromatic eyes. One blue, and one purple. He is toned but not extremely buff, and last but not least, has a black belt in karate and Taekwondo.

Thats all for this introduction and I will hopefully be releasing the next part within a week or so.
