Volume 1 Chapter 1
Part 1
RING!
It's an alarm clock began ist daily routine, the owner fell to the floor and has just seen a nightmare.
That's me.
…It's the worst way to wake up.
I had that awful dream again. Dying, and this by being stabbed into the stomach by a girl, with wings to boot.
But since I'm here healthy and alive, it has to be a dream.
"Wake up!" Mum's voice comes from the stairs. Just like every morning.
"I know! I will get up now!" After giving a reply like that, I pick myself up from the floor.
My day is off to a bad start again. I sigh while putting on my uniform.
Part 2
"I'm off then." I yawn as I leave the house.
During the walk to school, I can't help but close my eyes due to the sunlight. Aaah, it's so bothersome. I never liked the sun that much, im more of a winter type, but lately it got even stronger, i feel weak under the sun.
It feels like the sunlight is piercing through my skin and I can't stand it.
Strangely i become more active at night. There is something inside my body that rises up and makes my tension go high. Maybe i mutate into a vampire? I wouldnt mind drinking blood.
Anyway, i guess my behavior is normal for a 16 years old boy, im sure it is unhealthy, afterall i often stay up late, i can easily stay awake till 3 or 4 o'clock. I've been going to sleep after the sun rises lately, and that has been my daily routine.
I'm not addicted to online games nor am I addicted to night shows. I like movies and such things but i wouldnt miss sleep because oft hem.
Is my brain trying not to sleep so I don't have to see that dream where this bitch kills me?
The feeling I have at night, —I think it's something completely different from before. Am i really turning into a Vampire? Maybe i will be like Blade?
I don't know how to explain it, but my body feels pumped and I have a feeling as if i could destroy walls with straight punches.
So I went out at night to test it. The walking pace of my feet increased, and my heart shook with joy when I blended in with the darkness of the night. I dashed out at night on a whim and to my surprise it gave me incredible speed.
If I join the track team, I can easily become the main runner. Also, I don't run out of stamina. I have so much stamina that I can do a full marathon as if I'm just jogging. To boot i tried lifting stuff, i even nearly flipped over a car that easily weigths two tons, unfortunatly that seems tob e my upper limit.
I became over-confident and when I sprinted during the day, it was horrible, i turned back into my human self. I become a superhuman at night, there are a lot of superheroes getting a boost at night and fighting for justice…i guess i would be a villian, but this city isnt really that exciting.
Uggh…like I thought, the sunlight is giving me a hard time…
Unlike at night, I become my weak self, if i met this cunt at night i swear i would crush her skull.
Part 3
A private school. Kuou Academy. That's the school I go to.
It's a co-Ed school right now, but since it was a girl's school until a couple of years ago, there are more girls than boys. I'm a 2nd year high school student and the ratio of girls and boys in my class are 7 to 3. For 3rd year students it's 8 to 2.
Only one group of good looking guys are popular and girls don't really care about me. To be more precise, they ignore me, not that i hate it, i never tried to be social so they never bothered making friends with me.
I sit down on my chest and simply look at my books, i hate my current self, since that dream started i dont want this boring life anymore, i want one where i can fight, have adventures and destroy buildings as if they arent there.
I know this sounds like the syndrom middle school kids get but i never had that, i like to imagine myself in cool clothes with a armor and awesome swords but if anything i always kept this to myself, without friends it would be hard to talk about this with anyone right?
Anyway, i still cant believe that all my experience oft he „date" with a dream, it felt way to real and i have way to many details about it, i tried to go to the park where i was in my dreams but nothing, even the places we visited, nobody remembered such a girl or me. But i still cant believe that all oft hat was only a dream, than the question i ask myself over and over again was: who was my girlfriend? Who was I dating?…There's something wrong about all of this.
Like the strange strength I get at night. Something is definitely wrong.
Suddenly i couldnt stop smiling, this kind of situation would only happen to someone who is about to experience his origin story right? Is this my origin story? Maybe im like Doctor Strange and get a introduction at some point?...Would be awesome, screw this world, i want to experience real fights, real dangers, i have this powers so i will meet people in suits right?
Strange why i like the idea of being hunted, usually im a calm person but having experienced this supernatural phenomenon i cant stop myself from thinking about all the fantastic things that i could experience.
I decided that i will leave the incident about that bitch on hold for now, i should see the limits of my abilitys before doing anything rash.
There was a crimson colour that caught my attention.
The school yard can be seen from the classroom window. I have my eyes glued towards a certain girl.
The girl with crimson red hair. The same color i saw in my dream. Makes sense, she is our school idol whose beauty is beyond a normal human's, in a dream my subconscious could have used her without me realising it, but i already have to many hints to assume that it wasnt a dream.
Interestingly, i may have also felt myself connected to her since she isnt Japanese at all, i heard that she is from Northern Europe. I wonder how i –as a mix between a Japanese's thin body frame and a Middle East's relatively thick frame- look to her, Rias Gremory, as mentioned, im a straight guy, i may not openly express a desire to connect with the other gender but it is not like i dont have such kinds of desires at all, this is why even i sometimes capture myself thinking about some interesting things with beautiful girls like her. Anyway, she is a 3rd year student of this school. So that makes her my senior.
The wind gently blows her crimson hair while every student in this school watches her. A School Idol afterall.
But lately i feel a little bit scared of her beauty and a desire to fight against her from the bottom of my heart appears whenever i look at her from the distance.
I don't know why I start to feel like this. But I've started to feel it ever since Yuuma-chan's disappearance.
Than she suddenly looked into my direction, what is this feeling? It's that feeling you get when someone who is more superior to you is standing in front of you… I hate it, being looked down on, normally i wouldnt think to much into it but since that incident i dont like it at all.
Is she looking at me?
I guess not, there are tons of other people looking at her, i didnt even move from my place, afterall im sitting at the window which makes it shitty due to the sunshine.
Part 4
After leaving school, i walked slowly back home, nothing extraordinary happened.
When I look at my watch, it's already 10 o'clock, yes, i took detours, i walked to the same place again where i 'died', but no evidence existed, nothing out of ordinary, no blood or anything like that.
"Anyways, I'll get going now" i said to nobody in particular.
"It's a beautiful night." This also became a habit, if it gets dark i feel the most comfortable.
A few minutes pass by after i decided to walk home. but the energy flowing within my body is rising. It's a symptom of the "overflowing with power at night" thing.
My eyesight improves along with my other five senses. My eyes and ears became especially good. I can even hear conversations from other people's houses and see the street even though it's night. I once heard a couples heartbeats while they had sex, no, im not a pervert, it happened by accident while i tried to explore my new abilitys.
It feels like my body is getting stronger day by day, i wonder if i will get more abilitys, if i could wish for one i would like telepathy, controlling someones mind would be overpowered, but than again, a incredible cool armor alongside a awesome weapon is also something to think about.
Suddenly i feel chills all over my body!
I can feel I'm being watched by someone, there is a mysterious atmosphere ahead of me.
It's a man. There is a man wearing a suit, glaring at me.
It feels like my body will run on ist own, but as i feared, it wont run away from him, somehow since this incident i want to fight, but no matter how much killing intent a person gives towards me i cant use my two tons lifting strength against them.
It isnt because i have something against killing, i dont care if someone would die or not or if i kill them, but it will create problems if the police is after me or my mother gets trouble because of that, seems like after the incident i also cooled down in the questions regarding life and death.
I nearly died, dream or not, it felt fucking real, i dont think that i would sacrifice myself for someone, i can only imagine dying while i fight to my hearts content…did i turn into Kenpachi...how was his name...Zaraki? Yes, i also have knowledge about the manga scene, but mostly only about shounens, and even than it isnt really profound.
Anyway, i can definitely feel hostility from him. No, this is definitely killing intent!
The man walks closer, silently. Why did I have to encounter some dangerous guy on my way home!?
"This is rare. To meet someone like you a-..."
BANG!
…?
What happened?
I only feel a numb pain around by right feet, i also stand at the place where the man stood a moment ago, smoke appeared in front of me…can it be that i attacked him? My body moved on his own, some kind of Spider-Sense with offensive function?
Is he dead? He must be, there was a concrete wall which is smashed too, but i dont feel any worry, instead the instincts of mine tell me to jump right into the smoke and attack him further.
I don't know any self defense martial arts, nor have I ever had a fight before!
But i didnt really use any technique anyway, i ran towards him with immense speed and kicked as hard as i could. What will happen now? People will surely appear, the police will only see a corpse and i will get to jail? But it was self-defense…not like they will believe it, they wont believe anything i tell them.
Walking backwards, I put some distance between me and the man, if he died than the police will have a lot of work to do in order to catch me,but only if they ever find out that i did that, and if he survived he will have learned his lesson.
I turn around and sprint to the place I came from at full speed.
Fast. I'm insanely fast. It's weird for me to say this, but the speed of my legs during night is insane, at first my jogging speed was as if i was sprinting, now im so fast that i feel like im a car driving with 100 km/h and more.
I just continue to run while going through different streets at night. I keep on running and go into unfamiliar streets. I haven't lost my breath yet. I can keep on running. If that's the case, then I'm going to run and go a even bigger detour before going home.
After around 15 minutes, I come into an open area. I stop running, and walk instead, a kid running at such speeds is unusual and at such a time too, so i guess walking the remaining way will be easy.
CHILLS
I feel chills on my back.
Someone is behind me… That's what I feel.
I turn around slowly, and a black feather drops in front of me.
Is it a feather of a crow? No, this isn't.
"Did you think I'd let you escape? Your attack was good, to good for a Low-class Devil, you must be Middle to Higher Class right? i more or less have no uninjured ribs anymore and my left arm is broken."
The person who appeared in front of me is a man wearing a suit and he has black wings growing out of his back. It's the guy from before, he survived my attack?
…An angel? No no, this isn't a fairy tale, so that can't be!? Suddenly i got reminded of the bitch who attacked me, at the end i got killed…i will make sure it wont happen again.
"Tell me the name of your Master. It's a hindrance to get bothered by your kind. For that, we will… Wait, are you a "Stray"? If you have no Master, then that will explain your thirst for fights oozing out of your body, only Devils like you would become „Stray" despite having such a potent rank."
The suspicious guy is mumbling to himself. Don't make up stuff on your own…but i guess i agree with the „wanting to fight" part.
Somehow my body really wishes to battle with this guy, and i feel more and more in the mood to attack him again.
"Hmph. I don't feel any presence of your Master nor your comrades. I don't see anything that is trying to hide its presence either. And there's no magic-circle appearing here. According to the current situation, you are a "Stray". So it won't be a problem if I kill you."
The guy who just said some strange stuff moved his hand up into my direction.
I can hear a noise. I know this phenomenon. something that looks like light starts to gather in his hand, the light then shapes itself into something resembling a spear.
By the time I realise it was fired my body already dodged. Now is not the time to move unconcsiously.
Using my speed i immedatly reached that Angel wannbe, and something comes out from my mouth.
Gough.
Lots of blood comes out of my mouth, followed by intense pain.
I fall down on my knees, on the spot. How? I can feel my insides getting burnt. The last thing i saw was the face of the man, pale and frightened, i wanted to punch him but now im on the ground getting burned, the pain spreads throughout my body, and it hurts so much that I can't stand it.
Countless shining small spears are all over my body, i try to pull out one spear with my hand, but my hand starts to get burned soon as I touch it. It's hot. It's extremely hot. There are burn marks on the places that touched the spear.
"AHHHHHHHH" i scream my lungs out. Since my hand is in this state, is the spear burning my insides?
I look up, and the mysterious man makes another spear in his hand.
"I admit, i underestimated your strength, it seems like you are a Devil who didnt have much battle experience, did you overestimate your abilitys? Seems like i misjudged you, you are not exactly the kind who wants fights since you are addicted, you usually won your battles with the immense speed and strength you are gifted with , am i right?
...It must hurt, Light is poisonous to beings like you. Getting hit by it will result in fatal damage. I thought this spear would be enough to kill you, but your body is way faster than i thought, you even forced me to use „Countless Spears –Rain of Heaven", my own special technique, but your body is also much tougher than assumed, if you had more experience you wouldnt have stopped running away, i was about to lose you too…But i will hit you with a spear again. But this time, I will put a bit more strength into it."
Is he trying to finish me off!? I'll be killed. As I'm thinking, I start to look back on the dream I had….dont fuck with me!
I felt a pulse of energy inside me, something that nearly exploded forward, some kind of hidden power? Would be awesome if that was the case.
When I thought that I heard the sound of the wind, an explosion materialises in front of me.
When I look up, there is smoke coming from the palm of that man's hand. There is blood spilling out of his right hand.
"Don't you dare touch him." A woman walks past me.
Crimson hair. I can tell who it is, even just by her back. Our School Idol.
"…Crimson hair… You must be a woman from the House of Gremory…"
The man glares at the woman with crimson hair with eyes full of hatred.
"My name is Rias Gremory. How are you doing, Fallen Angel-san? If you are trying to hurt this boy, then I won't hold back. "
Rias Gremory.
"…Tch. Well, well. So this boy isnt a „Stray" devil? So this town is your territory, then for today, I will apologise. But I advise you not to let your servant loose. People like me might slay him while having a walk." Next time i meet you i will kill you, you piece of shit…. my eyes get blurry and it feels like my consciousness is disappearing. My eyes blurs.
Huh? Isn't this bad?
Then, my consciousness cuts off.
Part 5
When I woke up, it was morning.
What is the meaning of this?…Did I have a bad dream again?
That has to be a dream. But it looks too real. Maybe now i will get new powers at night since the dream changed…i doubt that but why not?
I was woken up by the alarm clock. Looks like I was dreaming after all. Why do I keep on seeing those kinds of dreams?
If I remember correctly, I went to school yesterday as usual and it was normal as usual. After school I went to the park where i was supposedly killed the first time.
Then I returned home. On my way home, I was attacked by a weird person with wings. Then I realised the unusual state I was in.
I'm naked.
I usually sleep with my underwear…but that doesnt matter, more importantly the girl besides me is irritating.
"…Unnn" she made some noises while sleeping. There is a crimson haired girl sleeping beside me. The first words that came into my mind had been „School Idol".
And she's naked… Her body is actually touching mine. No matter how you look at her, it's Senpai, Rias Gremory-senpai.
Did I have sex with her!? Eh? Do people lose their virginity like this!? I dont mind it, lets repeat it in order to be sure.
"Kira! Wake-up! It's already time for school!"
My mother called mea s usual, but since i failed to respond it was followed by footsteps coming up the stairs. The footsteps carried the sound of anger. It's different from her usual footsteps.
Mum's on her way!
"Unn… Is it morning?"
She woke up! Now i need to hide her somewhere fas…
GATCHA!
The door bursts open. At the same time Senpai also lifts her upper body up. Why are girls always doing this? Shouldnt they hide themselfes?
My eyes and mum's eyes meet each other. She looks mad. She looks very mad!
"Good morning." She greets my mum with a smile.
Mum's eyes moves from me to Senpai.
Then, mum's face froze. She moves her eyes to me again.
„...Sigh, get ready quickly, next time tell me if you want to bring your girlfriend over."
After a moment, I heard the noise of her feet heading down the stairs.
"Your mother accepted the situation quite easily." She got up from my bed and went to pick up her uniform from my desk. The naked body of a beautiful girl.
…Ummm, you know I can see a lot of things…
"S-Senpai!"
I can't help but say it. In my voice…stuttering, i really hate doing that.
"What is it?" she said without even trying to hide anything while turning back. But you know what? Since it seems like you dont give a fuck, i will simply use this situation.
"Can we do it before going down?"
I said it while looking directly into her eyes. I want to do it really bad, but forcing myself on her right now doesnt seem to be such a good idea, exspecially not since my instincts tell me that it would result in big trouble.
"Nope." A direct rejection. She's putting on a smirk.
"Is your stomach all right?" Senpai asks me.
Stomach? I touch my stomach while watching Senpai get dressed.
"You were stabbed yesterday."
…That's right, I was stabbed by a guy with wings at the park yesterday. That wasnt a dream right?
"By the way, the incident from yesterday wasn't a dream."
…Senpai says it as if she read my mind.
"I was sure I was wounded…" Somehow im totally calm now, i even went out of my bed and searched for clothes fully naked while still talking, Senpai didnt seem to care either.
"I healed it. It was critical, any normal Devil would have died immedately, but thanks to your tough body, it was healable with my power in a night, if you master your abilitys you should be able to reach such a niveau on your own. I shared some of my demonic powers with you by embracing you while we were naked. I was able to do it because we are from the same clan."
Strangely i didnt care about the naked part, the words that got my interest had been „Devil","clan" etc. is what she says true?
"It's all right, because I'm still a virgin." She misunderstood my thinking this time to 100%. But it is a nice info, than let me be the one who takes it.
Senpai approaches me while in her underwear. She starts to pat my cheek with her slim fingers. "I am Rias Gremory. I am a Devil."
Ah, so im not a Vampire but a Devil…good to know.
"And I am your Master. Nice to meet you, Kira-kun?"
Ok, that is something i dont like…I guess i will be your servant for a long time. FUCK YOU! I dont care if you are the most beautiful woman on this planet, i wont serve anyone….but i guess that i will play along for now, first i get to understand what i going on and than i will free myself.
Part 6 My Mother immedatly agreed with everything Senpai….Rias said."…I'm sorry. It looked like it would become troublesome, so I used my power." So…can i learn this too?
Part 7Morning walk to school.
I'm walking towards school, but I'm having a hard time because of the way other students are looking at me. That can't be helped. Im normally ignored or simply accepted as „oh, there is someone", but today is different, afterall im walking together with our school's idol, Gremory-senpai.
At first she wanted me to carry her bag, after i asked why i should do that or if she had trouble carrying her own stuff she didnt press further, im nice, i really am but if it is such bullshit like carrying someone elses stuff for no reason at all i will protest of course.
"Why is someone like him…" I can hear the screams of both boys and girls from every direction. While ignoring them we walk through the school gate, and I split with Senpai at the entrance. "I will send someone to get you. Let's meet again later" was the only things she said right before vanishing.
And with that my five minutes of fame vanished too, i got ignored again and for the first time i understood that im rather alone than in a crowd of people.
But she will 'send someone'?
Part 8After school.
"Follow me, Senpai!"
I look at the short first year female student who suddenly came to see me.
The girl in front of me is our school's number 1 mascot, Koneko Toujou.
She captured the hearts of the boys and girls alike in our school with her emotionless but still cute look, not in a 'they desire her' way but more in a 'oh gosh i want to hug her until she pops' kind of way, she even has her own fanclub with boys admiring her a bit to much into a certain kind of disturbing direction, but who am i to judge lolicons?
I found myself having a dream between myself and her a few times too, no idea if that is healthy but whatever raises the banner right?
"So what business do you have here?"
I reply to her in a bored tone voice.
"I came here by the order of Rias Gremory-senpai."
After that sentence Koneko...-chan(?) simply started to walk out of the class. I guess i should follow her?
that can explain what is going on i dont have anything against following her.
I still hear whispers from the students in the class but ignoring them is the best choice.
I followed Koneko, and the place we end up at is the back of the school building. In this place, which is surrounded by trees, there is a building called the old school building.
Apparently it was used a long time ago, and there is no sign of people here. Seems to be a 'fitting' place for Devils.
It seems old, but it isn't that bad, there aren't any broken windows and it's hard to tell if there are any broken parts from its appearance. We went further into the building.
After a while we seem to have reached our destination. Kiba stops in front of a particular classroom.
Occult Research Club!? That was written on the sign in front of the door.
"Buchou, I have brought him." Then Senpai replies. "Come in."
Looks like i will finally get a explanation. We enter the room.
The floor. The walls and the ceiling. They are all covered with weird signs. And the one which stands out the most is the circle drawn at the center of the room. It looks like a magic-circle.
SHA-
Is someone taking a shower?This classroom comes with a shower!?
"Buchou, take this." I already felt that there wasnt only one person, somehow assuming that in that direction was onlyone person felt „wrong". Andi was right, there was someone else behind her. It is the voice of another girl.
"Thank you, Akeno." Looks like Senpai is changing behind the curtain.
...
"I'm sorry. I couldn't take a shower last night because I stayed the night at your place, so I took a shower now."
I dont really care. Let's talk about this whole „Devil"-thing.
Ah, by the way, the person bwho was together with Rias had black-hair in a ponytail! The ponytail. She is one of our school idols, Himejima Akeno-senpai.
"Ara ara. Hello, my name is Himejima Akeno. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"My name is Kaze Kira." I greeted her. After Rias confirms that we finished introducing each other, she starts talking.
"Looks like everyone is here. Kira-kun, welcome to the Occult Research Club."
"Ok."
"As a Devil." Looks like I will finally get answers.
I'm sitting on a sofa, and Himejima-senpai has made tea for me. "It tastes good."
"Ara ara. Thank you very much."
Koneko, Rias, Akeno and I are sitting on the sofas surrounding the table.
Then Rias-senpai speaks. "I will get to the point right away. We are all Devils.
….Your expression says that you don't believe what I am saying. Well, that can't be helped. You did see the man with black wings last night, didn't you?" She's right.
That wasn't a dream, that much i believe.
"That's a Fallen Angel. They are former Angels who served God, but they are beings who have fallen to hell because they had evil intentions. They are also the enemy of us Devils."
Looks like we are entering a fantasy genre.
"We, the Devils, have been at war with the Fallen Angels since ancient times. We have been fighting over the possession of the Underworld, which is also known as Hell in the human world. The Underworld is split into two areas, one for Devils and one for Fallen Angels. The Devils form pacts with humans and receive their sacrifices and increase their strength. The Fallen Angels on the other hand control humans to eliminate Devils. At this point the Angels come in to destroy these two races on God's orders, which creates the three forces. This has been going on since ancient times."
"Ok." It is not like i immedatly understand her explanation but it is the best source i have right now. I already realized the changes in my body.
"—Amano Yuuma" Hearing that name, i clench my fist, if she is real i will kill her for sure. But...where did she hear that name?
"That day, you were on a date with Amano Yuuma, right?"
"…She had black wings too...ah, so she is a Fallen Angel? But i was a Human at that time, why attacking me?"
There is anger in my voice. Cant be helped, nobody would be calmly talking about someone who killed that person in question.
"This Fallen Angel came in contact with you to accomplish a certain goal. After she accomplished it, she got rid of any record and evidence regarding herself."
"The goal was my death?"
"Yes."
...Lol, i will kill her to 100%!
But first, "Why me!?"
"You are suprisingly calm for all the stuff you experience right now, i assumed you would be way more confused and angry."
I AM ANGRY! But i can keep it inside me until i meet this slut.
„It couldn't be helped... No, you were just unlucky. There are possessors who weren't killed…"
"What do you mean?" I must admit, im a bit suprised at how well i can keep my anger down, arent this traits of a twisted mind? Im a Devil so i guess a few things arent the same anymore.
"That day, you went on a date with her and then went to the park, where you were killed with Spear of Light.
The reason why she approached you is so she could check if there is a dangerous thing inside you. She must have received a weak response from it. That's why she took her time checking you. Then she confirmed it. That you were a human who possessed a Sacred Gear —-"
Sacred Gear, another term i need more infos about.
Akeno then speaks.
"Sacred Gear is an irregular power that is bestowed to certain humans. For example, most of the people whose names are recorded in history are said to be possessors of a Sacred Gear. They used the power of their Sacred Gear to record their name in history.
Presently, there are people who possess Sacred Gears within their bodies. You know those people who play an important role worldwide? Most of those people possess a Sacred Gear."
Most of the Sacred Gears have functions that are only usable in the human society. But there are exceptional Sacred Gears that are a threat to us, the Devils, and Fallen Angels. Kira-kun please stand up."
„Ok." So i stood up, Akeno and Rias brought me to the middle of the room.
Rias spoke now. .
"Close your eyes and imagine the strongest thing that comes to mind."
"Strongest thing…?"
"Then imagine it, and imagine that thing in a particular ways where it looks the strongest."
„?"
„...I guess you want a better explanation?" Of course i do, what is this sudden change of topics?
„The Sacred Gear is a special 'something' that is fused with your soul since the very beginning of that souls existence, incredible strong objects, effects or beings dont go to the „Side unknown to us" but get reborn in a sense of becoming Sacred Gears.
Every being has the chance to be born with one but the chances are small, and the chances to recieve a high-class one are even smaller.
Right now there are 36 Longinus which are said to be the strongest Sacred Gears in existence. 11 on the Angels side, 11 on the Devils side and as far as we know 10 under the Fallen Angels side while 4 are missing, three of them are the most powerful Sacred Gears, each one is said to be powerful enough to compete with 12 other Longinus-Class Gears.
This was the status of power for the a few hundred years, there are aside from the Longinus-Class three more classes in which the unknown amount of Sacred Gears go to.
High-Class. This are Gears that have a high potential and can either be used in a lot of different ways or can inflict massive damage.
Middle-Class. Ususally the most seen type in battle, under certain situation they can be pretty useful but generally they are simply giving the user another way of attacking aside from Magic or Martial arts, that doesnt mean that it should be underestimated.
And Lower-Class. The most common types, only a special view have a use, otherwise it would be better to train Magic or Martial arts.
But the history of Sacred Gears dont matter, right now i want to see what Sacred Gear you have, and to make the Gear appear you must think of the strongest thing you can think of."
„That would the The Hulk." Am i the same as a Otaku if im a hardcore western comics fan?
„I have no idea what that is but imagine it in its strongest moment."
I closed my eyes and imagined the Hulk doing a simple punch with all his strength, how a shockwave appeared and ripped countrys apart, no idea if that is the actual strength but it sure looks beyond badass.
At the same time the more i thought about the effects on the surroundings through the punch, the more the hidden power inside me swelled up.
Than...
BOOM
A shockwave of immensely dense demon energy shot out of my body, somehow i saw myself from the outside.
It was still me, but somehow i floated a meter over the ground, my skin being black with uncountableamounts of thin silver lines spreading all over my body, my eyes literally shined with a golden light.
Out of nowhere white cracks spread out on the surrounding space, as if space itself was ripped apart.
„Kira-kun" Rias screamed, it seems like the uncontrolled energy flying around harms them.
Is this alright? I dont mind if something happens to them but i still have a lotof questions, will i die if the person who brought me back dies too?
CRACK
Suddenly the cracks surrounding me attached themselfes on my skin, all this only happened in a few moments, like glass the skin broke and vanished.
I fell on my knees.
...Silence, only me how i breathed heavily.
After a lot of time passed and i managed to breath normally again while still feeling numb beyond believe, Koneko brought me to the couch, since i couldnt sit properly i only lied down while having small difficulties breathing. Rias finally spoke again.
„That...It is the Sacred Gear of the Apokalypse Dragon." she looked at Akeno who nodded.
„The Apokalypse Dragon?"
„The Dragon that is alongside the Red and White Dragon Sacred Gears one of the most powerful abilitys in existence, it is even said that the Dragon itself was so strong that both Heavenly Dragons worked together in cooperation with eleven Gods so that they could seal him" she seems baffled, but from my short usage i understood a few things about Sacred Gears. They dont take Demonic Energy, the ones that came out duringt he incident was the dormant power inside my body, a Sacred Gear seems to be more tied with the mind/soul of a being.
I guess i do have the potential to actually become the strongest being in existence.
„It's power is said to be Mind-based, only the upper ranks of the three factions know for sure, and probably the Gods, but it seems like according to legends, the Apokalypse Sacred Gear allows the user to manipulate reality through pure will."
But that only happens if i master the Sacred Gear and manage to bring out the same output as the Dragon itself.
"The Fallen Angel, Amano Yuuma, saw your Sacred Gear as a threat and therefore killed you. But i dont think that she realized how immense your powers actually are."
"You said that i was killed, and i remember something similar but how am I alive? I get it that i was resurrected but is it so easy bringing someone back from the dead?"
"I should explain how i first found you, it was you who called me when you were on the verge of death. I was summoned through this paper."
Rias-senpai pulls out a single leaflet. The leaflet i got from the guy right before i had my date with that fallen slut.
"This is one of the leaflets we give out. This magic circle is used to summon us Devils. These days there aren't many people who would draw this circle to summon us. So we give these leaflets to people who look like they would summon Devils."
Ah, ok.
"After you were attacked by the Fallen Angel, you called me. I knew right away that you were a Sacred Gear possessor and that you were attacked by a Fallen Angel. But there was a problem. You were on the brink of death. So I decided to save your life."
"Although, as a Devil."
That much i already figured out onmy own.
"You were reborn as a Devil of mine, Rias Gremory's servant. As my servant Devil." Fuck yourself bitch. I wont rebel now but believe me, once imaster my powers i will truly become worth of the name „Apokalypse".
No idea why i have so much anger inside me but i wont become a servant of anyone. My goal is to fight, fight and become invincible...and have fun...sigh, i really turned into Kenpachi.
PA!
At the time i was thinkin, wings sprout from the backs of everyone around me.
They're different from the black wings of Fallen Angels, their wings are like bat wings.
PA!
I looked over my shoulder, I see the same black wings protruding from my back, but different than the other members -with the exception of Rias's wings- i have three wings on each side, is this because im a human turned into a Devil or because im male?
"Let's introduce everyone anew. Koneko"
"…First year. …Toujou Koneko. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"My name is Himejima Akeno, and I'm in third year. I'm also the vice-president of this Occult Research Club."
She waves her crimson hair and says it very directly.
"And I'm their master as well as being a Devil from the House of Gremory, Rias Gremory."
Looks like I will experience some interesting stuff.
