(History since in this one, Naruto lived his life just like in the anime series with the same outcome)
In this world, Naruto was not banished and became the hero that he was meant to be. He even became the 7th Hokage and married Hinata Hyuga and fathered a son and daughter with her. Before he died, he even took on several other beings that acted like they were gods and attempted to have their way with those that were his friends, family, and members of his village. Naruto though died, and several hundred generations later so did the peace that he created.
During all this, where was Biblical God? He was asleep with his Angels recovering from the civil war that they had thought. Where were the Devils, recovering after being changed from Angels into Devils, so they were asleep as well.
It was during this time that other beings from other dimensions came and set up shop. They started to become gods after finding a way to receive power from being worshiped by the humans of the world.
Their actions continued to change the world until the knowledge of Chakra and Jutsus was lost thru the many religious wars that erupted since then. Some of the knowledge for Naruto's time though still managed to survive though, but not all.
Then came the yokal, for they started to setup shop as well. In some cases, they became guardians and gods/goddess as well. It was at this time that Biblical God and his Angels woke up from their long sleep. The same was with Lucifer and his Devils.
Biblical God than noticed that some of his Angels had wings that were black in color and more crow like instead of the dove like and the color white. After many years of looking into it, he discovered that they had fallen out of his grace. Instead of doing the same thing that he did to Lucifer and those that followed him, he just casted them out of Heaven.
While the Fallen Angels looked for a new home, Biblical God was not happy at all with what he seen of the world. At once he demanded the beings that came in and became gods, goddess as well the yokal to leave. The yokal that became guardians though managed to make a deal. The Yokal that became known as Gods and Goddess and the other beings refused to give up what they had gain.
This sparked the Second Great Holy War. Lucifer and the Devil race though stayed out of it. The Fallen Angels even though they were not in Biblical God's grace assisted the Angels in their war against the other beings, even though the Angels attacked them as well.
While this was going on, Lucifer and his Devils found out how to gain strength and power with the assistance of the human race. They discovered that they create a contract with them and grant them their desires, than they gained power.
Lucifer who still wanted to rule heaven acted. He ordered them to sneak into the mortal world or realm and make such contracts, but attempt to stay out of the war. During this time, the Fallen Angels, Angels and other gods used their followers to assist in their war against each other.
It was a the end of the 3,000 year war that Biblical God noticed what was going on again. But this time, he decided to allow it, for it was the perfect test for the human race. He allowed the Devils to make their contracts, but the Fallen Angels looking for way to get back into grace with Biblical God continued to assault them, and even go as far to invade the Underworld that was given to the Devils by Biblical God.
Lucifer still wanted war and decided to make plans for one. He first rapped and then killed the Angel Ambassador as a war supporting Fallen Angel attacked Biblical God. A Devil also attempted to kill the leader of Grigori who was none other than Azazel. This had the result that was desired, a Third Great War.
The ware was brutal, but at the time there was a new faction of Devils that were getting sick and tired of the way that Lucifer and his three Generals was doing things. They started to rebel against the Mou Faction. It was during this time that Serena Gremory was captured, but no one knew what happened to her.
During the last great battle between the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils, two dragons that were very power fighting each other appeared on the battle field. During their battle, they attacked everyone else as well.
It was during this time that all the factions put their current hatred on hold and joined forces against Ddraig and Albion who were so into their battle that they never saw the others as a threat. The battle was long, but in the end both dragons were defeated and cut up. God than sealed them into sacred gears.
It was this time that the war continued, but the rebels joined in in their attempt to overthrow a weaken Lucifer and his generals along with their supporters. The war lasted many years, but then it happened. God and Lucifer managed to kill each other while Lucifer's Generals were taken down by the rebels forces that currently control the Devils.
There was much lost in the Great War, for more than half of the 72 Pillars as well as a majority of the armies of Devils that serve the High-Class Devil Clans of the 72 Pillars were wipe out.
However though, not all is peaceful for a group of the descendants of the Four Great Satans intended to carry on their legacy by gathering the strong supporters of the original Four Great Satans and finish what they started, the Great War. Their intention however, were opposed by a certain group of Devils, the Anti-Satan Faction, who wanted to ensure the survival of the Devils as a species, thus disapproving of the continuation of the Great War.
This dissension eventually caused a civil war to break out between the Devils which ultimately lead to the defeat of the Original Satans' descendants. Following the defeat of the descendants who were forced to retreat to the back part of the Underworld, their names became titles for the new rulers of the Devils while the Original Satans became known as the Old Satans.
The four strongest of the Rebels were chosen to take their place, but this time all four will have equal in power. In order to keep favoritism from taken place, these four had to give their position as well clan name and take the name of the position that they are given as their new name.
Sirzech Gremory of the Gremory Clan took the place of Lucifer and became Sirzech Lucifer. Serafall Sittri of the Sitri Clan took the position of General Leviathan and became the second Great Satan Serafall Leviathan. Ajuka Astaroth of the Astaroth Clan took the position of General Beelzebub and became the third Great Satan Ajuka Beelzebub. Finally, Falbium Glasya-Labolas of the Glasya-Labolas clan took the General Asmodeus and became known the forth Great Satan Falbium Asmodeus.
Due to the fact that God died, it was decided that it should kept secret. Even though there was not treaty formed between the three factions, it was agreed to attempt to keep a form of peace between each other. Even though they were not part of the war and managed to remain out of it, it agreed that the Yokal should have steak as well, which the Yokal eagerly agreed.
Once seeing how things were, one could see that the Devils were the hardest hit among the factions in terms of loss of life. In order to deal with this since due to pride and several other reasons, a system was created that allow new Devils to be created. This system was forged with the rules and ideals of Chess and the pieces are known as Evil Pieces.
This allows that Devil to increase their ranks by reincarnating other beings into Devils. The Evil Pieces and the system was created by a Devil named Ajuka Beelzebub to help replenish the number of Devils. He was one of the four Great Satans which was why his name was Beelzebub even though he was not born with it.
While many of the Devils accepted and were able to adapt to the new system and the usage of Evil Pieces, there were some that straight out rejected the system as well the usage of them. They believed that it was a disgrace to the race. They did not think that it would good to reincarnate humans or any other races into Devils. The creation of the Evil Pieces system eventually lead to the creation of the Rating Game.
The Evil Piece system has chess pieces that area also known as Devil's Pieces. There are a total of 16 pieces which is the same in chess. They are given to upper-class Devils regardless if they were born or rose to that rank.
When it is said that they are given to Upper-class Devils, it also means pure-blood Devils that had come to the age of thirteen years old. Those that were born in the remaining 34 Pillars out the 72 that once existed before the civil war.
This allows the said Devils to gather servants of their own. Those that are reincarnated are also given the chance to receive Evil Pieces should they rise in rank and become a Upper-class Devil. There are several ranks for they are High-class, Top–class, Satan-class and Ultimate-class.
When a Devil receives the right to obtain their own set of Evil Pieces, they are required to go to the Satan's territory of the Underworld and see Ajuka Beelzebub himself to get their set. While there, the person will do an ceremony of blood.
During this ceremony, the soon to be King will add blood to a monument. At that moment, a King piece is created and sent into the Devil that is doing the ceremony. On the Alter that is around the monument, the other pieces of their set appears before them to grab and use to build their peerage.
Now that the King has their set, they are still part of the Peerage of the Devil that was their master if they were part of one. The original piece that was in them is still there and thru that, it grants their master the right to request usage of that Devil's peerage since the original piece still exist. That is not all, for the new King's King also grows in power as the new King grows in power which also causes the Peerage to grow in power as well.
Well at first, this system was one of 16 pieces like that of one side of chess board, but after Kara visited Ajuka in a dream, he was given a new version of the game. A game called Devil Chess which had four more pieces. At this, he worked hard to create a evil piece system based on that version. It not until recently that he had managed to do it, and created the monument that granted the chosen King a set.
A set had to be limited or they could become over powering The unlimited set just mutated in power based on the person that became known as the king of the set and still grow. This was shown when he and his fellow four Satans used these sets to replace the old basic set.
The laws of the set was followed, no more than three mutated pieces. These laws though was not on the new monument, and at the moment he was still regaining his power to inscribe those laws as well the limitations into the monument so he could use it.
(Info Dump Over, sorry but needed)
-Location: Underworld, the city of Kizoku no shushu-
-Date: January 6, 2003-
Currently, there was a meeting between two powerful people in the city. This meeting was taking place in a study that had books lined up on shelves on all four ways. Behind a large oak desk was man sitting down as he looked at none other than Kara Demount Dragon.
As for the man, he had light green hair that was cut short. He also had a medium body build. He was looking at the woman that had just appear out of thin air with his blue eyes.
"Kara, I only meet you once and that was in the dream where you introduced me to Devil Chess and convinced me to create a new evil piece system, I take it that there is a reason why you are in now in my study? The man asked as Kara smiled at him.
"Ajuka Beelzebub, one of three Satans and inventor of the Evil Piece system, yes there is." She stated as he looked at her.
"Rias Gremory is on her way here for her evil piece set. Take her to the unrestricted new monument, in return, I will use my power to add you new laws and limitations to it for future use for you." Kara stated as he looked at her.
"Why, why do you want her to have an unrestricted set like us four Great Satans, for I know you have a reason why." He asked her as Kara smiled.
"Do you know the term fate cutter?" Kara asked as he looked at her and nodded his head up and down.
"Yes, a person whose fate is not set into stone that could alter the course of the world and influence it a great way. If I recall right the Forsaken which is that race that existed long time ago before the current humans came had one named Naruto Uzumaki which brought peace that lasted a long time." Ajuka stated as he recalled the strange humans that appeared recently that been collected into peerage.
They were human, but used Chakra like certain Yokal species. It was strange, for they were like the witches and realized that they would be hunted down like them as well which is why they are named the Forsaken Race instead of humans. Several had appeared out of black holes, and it was discovered that their kind existed long time ago when everyone was asleep. That was not all, for they came from different alternate versions of the world which wondered what was going on.
"Yes, but she is one along with those of her peerage. My enemy Chaos is influencing several here and I tend to stop him and her peerage is my tools along with those that I will send her way." Kara stated as Ajuka looked at her and nodded his head.
"I see, then you have a deal for she is indeed on her way here today. I guess I will assist since you are assisting me." Ajuka stated as Kara smiled at him and then smirked.
"Keep the old monument, for you can sell it in about five to six years from now. Those that you sell it, I will come and alter it for their needs. That is all that I can tell you for now." Kara stated as Ajuka just sighed.
"I see, then I will hold on to it, you are never wrong. You warned us about the Original Mou Faction's plans which saved us, so we thank you for that." Ajuka stated as Kara smiled at him and vanished.
-Mean while on the streets of the city-
At the moment, the city was filled with life. It was at this time that two young ladies walking down the street heading to the center of the city.
For one of them was a Devil on her way to do what was a normal rite of passage for her since today was her birthday. Kizoku no shushu, was one of many cities of importance of the Underworld which exist in the territory of the Satan jurisdiction. A area that unless you were invited, or live in you not allowed entry.
At this moment, with permission and pass from those that control this area, there was a busty red haired girl walking down the streets of the city. She had dark blue green eyes and seem to shine with happiness even though she may have reason to not be happy at all.
She was a young Devil that had decided to take her human looking form as she walked. Even though she just turned 13 years old which was the required minimal age to get a Evil Piece Set, she had a curvy figure that would make other things that she was eighteen years old.
She also had very large breast that seem to add to her sex appeal, but everyone knew better than to approach her. She stood at the height of five feet and eight inches tall and seem to weigh around 128 pounds due her but and breast which was due to the blood of the Bale clan in her veins.
The reason why was due to the fact that she was none other than Rias Gremory of the Gremory family of the Underworld. Her family was one of the 34 of 72 pillars left of the Underworld which means that she was a upper-class Devil. But that was not all, for she was also the younger sister of one of the four Satan's that rule the Underworld. This meant power flowed thru her veins which was what her family represented.
To her dismay though, her brother has a sister complex that would result in many ruined lives if they did something to her unless they were married to her or she allowed them. That was not all, he even watched from the shadows and attempt to help out without trying to let her know when she did something except for a Rating Game when she is able to do them.
There are reasons why she should not be happy but instead was happy about it besides this little trip. She was about to head to the Mortal Plane where she would live in a school among the humans. She was doing this so she could get away from her suffocating brother as she attend Kuoh Academy that he had bought for her and other Devils to board at in Japan.
Her brother and building a Peerage was just a few of the reasons for her willing to leave her home. The main reason had a name, and that name was Riser Phoenix.
Back when she was only three, her family made an agreement with one of the 34 remaining pillars. This was their attempt to keep the blood pure among the Devils but stating that she and Riser were to be married when she turns 16 years old or when she was willing after she turned 13 years old. She found out about this contract three years ago and meet the young man. That was not a good thing.
What she found was a total jerk that saw women as nothing more than property and underneath him. Their happiness was not his concern and he also only cared about looks and figures while not caring about the actual person. Granted, he liked what he saw when he met her, for she was well developed even back then, but she did not like him nor saw him as a possible mate in the future due to his actions and beliefs.
There were rumors that all but one of Bishops which was his sister were sleeping him since he ordered them to. That was not all, for rumors also stated that if someone was willing to owe him a favor or pay, he would order the member of his peerage that caught their eye to do sexual favors for them. That was not confirmed, but Rias would not doubt it based on his actions towards her.
She did not like this one bit. Due to Devil laws, if she married him, her peerage would be under his control as well unless it is a Rating Game between them two which was rare. He could order her to swap any males that she had gotten out for females and then do what he want with them even if she rejected. What is hers would become his and what is his would stay his.
That was just the start she knew for a fact that he was a sex addict since he was three years older than her. She seen him try to bed with any woman that looked sexy of beautiful as long they were not married. He even managed to sleep with one of her maids in her house despite the fact he was there to see her that night.
Due to all this, she knew that she had to break the marriage contract without bringing dishonor to her name and family as well without breaking the law of the Underworld. She had come up with two plans which ran side by side which could fail or result in her freedom.
The first plan was also the first part of her other plan. She would leave the Underworld and stay in the human world controlling the family interest there. This would in hopes keep Riser from her since he hates the Mortal Plane with a passion, but will go for a beautiful woman. She hoped that he would forget about her and drop the contract which would free her from it giving her freedom. But she knew the odds of that happening with someone as obsessive as him would be against that.
After all, the house of Phoenix was Devils, and like any other Devil represent either a sin of one of the seven deadly sins. She was not sure if he represent pride or lust since he acts like the way he does. It is possible that it is both.
Her second plan was to find those that could be skilled, strong, and loyal to her and recruit them into her peerage. If she could get a full peerage, than she would be able to challenge him in a Rating Game with the marriage contract up for grabs. If she win, she would be free from the obligation. If she loose though, he could marry her right after the game even if it takes place before she turns 16 years old.
This was a gamble, but one that she felt that she have to make. That was the reason why she was happy, for today was the day that she will be granted an Evil Piece set. She had trained and studied for this very moment and even though she was not sure of the ones that she would recruit, she had a feeling that they would be something that would cause the Underworld to take notice.
Beside her was a black hair and violet eyed young woman that was a year older than her. She had just as good of figure as Rias, but her breast was a size larger than Rias'. She stayed in the Underworld despite the fact that she was half fallen Angel and half human. She stood at the height which was two inches shorter of her younger friend, and seem to be nine pounds lighter than Rias.
The young woman had guarded Rias since her father did same work for other Devils after he found out that her mother was killed by rogue Fallen Angels while he was gone due to her birth. Even though she hated her father since she blames him for the death of her mother, she still knew that she was under his authority at the moment since she was not part of any of the Fallen Angels groups or a Devil.
When Akeno Himejima first meet Rias when Rias was five years old and she was six, she was little reserved towards her. But over time, Rias had proven worthy of her friendship and they became such good friends, but they were close to being sisters if it was possible. She like Rias did not like Riser when the 13 year old attempted to seduce her when he meet Rias. Due to this, she supported her plan to attempt to break the marriage contract.
At the moment, she was wondering what would happen to her when Rias leaves for the human world. She was not a Devil so she would not gain an Evil Piece set nor can she leave the Underworld without permission of the Head of her race or her father even though she was half human. She was not sure what to do, but an ideal struck her which she did not mind at all if it would happen.
"Rias, can I ask you something?" Akeno asked as Rias stopped and looked at her longtime friend.
"Sure, you know you can ask me anything Akeno since we are very close." Rias replied looked into the eyes of her longtime friend and sister figure.
"When you leave for the human world, I cannot go with you unless your brother gotten permission from my father or the head of the Fallen Angels. I was wondering though, when you get your Evil Piece Set, can you reincarnate me into a Devil, have me become a member of your Peerage so I can still support you?" Akeno asked as Rias smiled at her and then hugged her.
"I was planning to ask you to become my Queen, for there is no one other than you I figure that I can trust with such title and duty of my Peerage. With you at my side, I am sure we can keep the others in line." Rias replied while still hugging her friend as Akeno smiled.
"Do not forget, I also want to torture that fried chicken during our game when we get all the needed pieces." Akeno stated in a sadistic tone as Rias shivered at it and they release each other from their hug.
"You know, if I decided to play for the other team, I might chose you." Rias stated as Akeno looked at her with a smirk.
"I think you are the only one that can handle me, but if a man come into the equation that I approve of, then we can have our fun together for I am considered Bisexual." Akeno stated as Rias looked at her red face.
"Relax, I just like the ideal for like you I have not have the pleasure of doing anything but self-release." Akeno stated as Rias just looked at her with her mouth gapping.
"How?" Rias asked as Akeno smiled back.
"The wall between my room and yours are very thin. I can hear everything thru them and took care of myself during the times you were doing it." Akeno stated with a smirk and she took her right index finger and closed her future King's mouth.
"I see, well then I guess there is nothing that we could do about that for now." Rias stated with a smirk as they walked onward thru the city.
In the matter of an hour, both of them had walked into the center of the City. There was a large house that stood there, this was none other than the house of Ajuka Bellzebub.
The house was large and looked like one of the American Plantation homes that existed in the South before the Civil War. It was made of black marble and stood strong. The first floor was ten feet from the ground which is why there were marble steps leading up to the main double oak doors that was the front door of the house. Rias and Akeno slowly walked up the steps while both was settling their nerves. For this was the home of a High Ranking Devil and it was an honor to come here. No one was allowed to enter this house without an invitation from the owner or one of the few with open invitations like the other three of the Four Satans unless you are part of their family or peerage.
Once they both reached the door, Akeno stopped just a few feet back Rias stepped right up to it. After all, Rias was the one that had the invitation and she was her escort. Rias took a deep breath as she looked to her longtime friend Akeno. Akeno nodded her head which was the signal that she was ready as well. With that, Rias knocked on the door with four loud knocks.
In a few seconds, a seal of black light appeared before the door between Rias and it. Neither one of the acted, for it was a privacy seal as well barrier seal that kept anyone from forcing themselves into the house when the door was opened. As the sound of the lock opening as well the door, the seal became transparent enough for Rias to see inside as well the person on the other side to see out.
A white haired big breasted woman that stood at the height of six feet tall had opened the door. She was wearing a black French maid outfit which was in a similar design as the one that Rias' sister-in-law who is none other than Sirzechs Lucifer's Peerage Queen Grayfia Lucifuge. That woman was also known as his wife as well the Strongest Queen or the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation among the other Devils. Even though the woman that was standing in-front of Rias currently was not her, the outfit design was the same.
"Hello can I help you?" The woman asked as she looked at the two people that stood before her on the steps and other side of the seal.
"Yes, I am Rias Gremory of the Gremory clan and this is my escort Akeno Himejima. I have been invited by Ajuka Bellzebub since today is my 13th birthday." Rias stated in a formal tone even though she did not like it.
This brought about another reason why she looked forward to going to the Mortal Plane that is known as the human world. No one knew who she was, she could just be Rias nothing more or else. Their might be a few other names, but being a upper-class Devil a member of a pillar family was not one of them. She was looking forward to be seen as an equal among others.
"Ah! Yes, we have been expecting you madam Gremory." The maid stated as the seal glowed brightly again and then vanished while she stepped aside while pulling the door wider so both Rias and Akeno could walk thru.
"Why don't you two come on in." The maid added as Rias and Akeno walked thru the door.
"Master Ajuka is in his study at the moment waiting for you." The maid stated as she closed the door.
Once the door was closed and the lock was in place, a magic circle of the same design as before appeared. Rias was not worried for she knew that it was the same circle as the one before being replaced. After all, only those with the invitation or clearance to enter this house is allowed. As she looked, she began to wonder if she would learn it, to keep Riser Phoenix out her domain.
"If you please follow me, his study is this way." The maid stated as she walked passed them and Rias and Akeno began to follow her.
The whole time they were in the house, Rias noticed that it was furnished with furniture that seem to match the era of design of the house. There were painting of upper-class Devils that were family heads which lined the right wall. On the left one were paintings of great Rating Game Champions from the tournaments that had taken place over the past hundred years. Yes, her race was dulled and bored to the point they look for something to do to entertain themselves.
In the matter of several minutes, they were there before a large double door that lead into the study. At that moment, all three of them stopped as the maid knocked on the door and waited for a response.
"Come in." A male voice stated from the other side of the door.
At that moment, the maid opened the door and stuck her head in to see if there is anything that Rias and Akeno should not see. After a quick scan, she saw that it was all satisfactory and then spoke while pushing the door completely open.
"Ajuka-sama, Rias Gremory and her escort is here to see you." The maid stated as she stepped to the side and held the door open.
"Send them on in Ceres." The male voice stated as the maid stepped aside after walking into the study which was when Rias and Akeno walked thru the door and bowed to the man that was sitting behind the desk that was none other then Ajuka Beelzebub.
Even though others would be nervous, she was not all though at this moment, she was standing right before one of the four rulers of her world. One of the four rulers of the Underworld, but that was due to the fact that he was also her brother's rival and friend.
"Well, at least you are more civil than your older brother. Welcome to my home Rias and Akeno. I see that your father was right about you coming here to stand next to her." He stated as she stood up showing that he was wearing a white shirt with a pair of black slacks that was covered by a green coat.
"It is an honor to be here in your house as well meet one of the four." Akeno stated in a firm voice as Ajuka just looked at her and then smiled.
"For the record though, that man is not my father, for it was his reason that my mother is no longer among the living." Akeno spat out with venom in her voice as Ajuka sighed at that.
"He might not have been there to defend her, but it was not his fault. O well, I am not here to fix the relations between a girl and her estranged daughter, but I think that you might like to know that the rogue fallen angels that attacked your home have been found, but exact location is known is not known. It is just rumors that they joined with their leader as part of some kind of organization what want to spread peace by destroying everything." Ajuka stated as Akeno's anger flared, but she quickly reigned it in and sighed while a smirk appeared on her face.
"If I come across them, then I care, but at the moment I do not." Akeno stated as Ajuka smirked.
'Yep, when she does they fucked.' Ajuka thought as the smiled on his face appeared larger as he looked at Rias.
"Well they go by the name Akatsuki and were robes that are black with red clouds on them. I am not sure what is going on, but it would seem that some Devils are also part of the organization as well." Ajuka stated as Rias nodded and looked at Akeno.
"I see, thank you for the information." Akeno replied as he nodded his head up and down.
"Okay Rias, before we start, tell me what you know of the Evil Piece system." He stated as Rias nodded her head.
"Well, the King is created within the person that is given a set. Now, if I recall correctly, Pawns are worth 1 Pawn each. The traits of Pawns is the ability to promote into a Queen, Knight, or Bishop in enemy territory or with permission of their King. Some sees them as throw away pieces even with this fact being known. Still, a Pawn has to be careful for if they are not ready for the level of power of the promotion, then they could die." She stated as Ajuka nodded his head as she continued.
"Knights are worth 3 Pawns in value. Knights gain increased speed and mobility, enabling them to perform high-speed attacks and maneuvers. However, their main weakness is their low defense, making them vulnerable to power attacks if they are not careful. Another weakness among the knights are their legs, if their legs are injured than their mobility is greatly reduced.
"Bishops are worth 5 Pawns. Bishops gain enhanced magical abilities which they can use to conjure up a multitude of spells (Offensive, healing, or any other support spells). However, more powerful spells consume most of their magical power, which takes long time to regain, forcing them to use their power carefully or risk becoming vulnerable to physical attacks.
"Rooks are worth 4 Pawns. Rooks gain superhuman strength, leading to high offense and defense. However, they are not very quick and can get beaten easily by a high-speed opponent. There is something called Castling where the King can instantly swap positions with the Rook to save them.
"Queens are worth 9 Pawns. Queens possess all the characteristics of Rooks, Knights, and Bishops making them the most balanced piece as well the most powerful in the peerage which is why they considered second in command." She sated as he nodded his head up and down and smiled.
"You are correct, but that was under the old system." He stated as Rias looked at him funny.
"I found a new game that is just as good but harder. Like chess, it is on a board, but that board has two more squares per roll and two more rows." He stated as he pulled out a board.
The pieces of the board looked like a normal chess board, but there was two copies of two new pieces on it. On the side of the queen and on the other side of the king was helmet looking piece. In front of them was an empty row that had a dragon shaped piece in front of the helmet piece.
"In the game, these helmet pieces are known as Paladins, they move like knights and bishops. The dragon Piece moves like rooks and knights. It was a lost game that I learned and decided to recreate the evil piece system based on it." Ajuka stated as he looked at Rias.
"The Paladin is worth 5 Pawns and still have all the abilities of a knight, but they also have the abilities of a bishop. Same weakness though, but thanks to bishop's ability they can cover it better." He stated as he held up the helmet and then picked up a dragon.
"The Dragon is worth 4 pawns and like the Paladin have the knight's abilities, but their weakness is altered some due to the rook abilities that they have as well. But you cannot do Castling with them at all." He stated as he looked at her.
"The reason why I am telling you this is simple, you will be the first besides us Satan's to get this version. That is not all, for since I failed to remember to set the limiter on the monument, you will get a unrestricted version of the set. Keep this secret
"I am honored." Rias stated as he smiled but then looked at her.
"Even though this is happening, still remember that Riser's set will be powerful as well even with the restrictions. Now, come and follow me while Akeno stay here in the meantime, since we are going where only me and the Devil that is picking up their set along with their king is allowed." Ajuka stated as he snapped his fingers and a doorway opened up in thin air.
"Cara, please take care of Akeno, if she wants a snack or something to drink then serve it to her." Ajuka stated as the maid nodded her head up and down as both him and Rias walked thru the door way and it vanished when the door closed.
"Can I have some tea?" Akeno stated as she sat down on the couch and looked at the maid.
"Sure, I see that you and the Ruin Princess seem to be close." Cara stated with a smiled as she walked to the other side of the room.
"After my mother was killed, I was my father afterward. Even though he was my father, we were not close since I was angry. You see, I blame my father for what happened, so my hatred of my father caused me to shut myself from the world." Akeno stated with a smile on her face as Cara reached the other side of the room and began to mix the tea.
"Back then, I would had ignore everyone and attempt to finds ways to get stronger to avenge my mother. One day eight years ago, my father was given a request to become a member of the guards here, needing to do something to bring some money." Akeno stated as the Cara continued to mix the tea while listening to Akeno.
"At that time, I recalled hearing that I can get stronger if I find someone to protect, so I asked father to take me along. He stated no, but did state that one of the heirs needed someone close to their age to be with, to act as a escort and ally." Akeno stated with a smile.
"Little did I know that my real mission was to become her first friend. It seem that Rias was not getting along with others due to the fact that they saw her as a Gremory instead of as Rias which irked her much. The man that claims to be my father was concerned about me being alone since I refused to talk to others after mother's death." Akeno stated with as she continued to smile as the thought back to that time.
-Flashback Start-
A young child with long black hair stood in a room waiting for the person who will serve as her client. She knew that this person would be a high-class devil. She did not like the ideal, but seeing that her father was going to be busy and she would gain a free lesson in fighting along with proper schooling that could make her strong, she decided to take this job. Later on, she would learn the truth and not regret one bit of it.
She was at the moment trying to figure out a way to deal with a stuck up brat knowing how most high-class devil children are, thinking that they are so important that the world should bend their will to them. Akeno knew that this person would be like that, that is not all. She had found out that this person is none other than the little sister of one of the four Satans. She just knew that this child who is a year younger than her would be a spoiled brat.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Ask the voice of a female child.
Akeno turned around and looked at the child. She had blood red hair that seem to grow out to the back of her neck. The child was wearing a dress that made her look like she was a middle class devil. She had blue eyes that seem to shine happiness.
"I am Akeno Himejima." Akeno found herself answering without any reservations.
"I see, I am Rias. Want to play?" Rias asked innocently.
"Well, I can…" Akeno was answering for she knew that any time the head of the Gremory family would appear with his daughter and she wanted to be there for them.
"Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory will be delayed until tomorrow. They send their regret saying that they are sorry but requested that you make yourself at home here since this is where you will be staying." Stated a silver haired woman with silver eyes wearing a light blue and white French maid outfit that hung on each and every cure of her body.
Akeno knew who this woman was. Who did not know who this, she was head maid of the house of Gremory, queen of Sirzechs Lucifer one of the four Satans, but that was not all, for she was the strongest Queen who had been given the title of Silver-haired Queen of Annihilation and survivor of the first and second Great Wars.
"I see, I guess I can relax some than Rias." Akeno stated with a smile.
The day was fun and she came to like the young girl. They found out that they both had some things in common. What really surprised her though was that the girl had an unhealthy hobby of watching anime and reading Manga that come from a nation known as Japan in the Mortal Plane.
To tell the truth, she like them as well, but not as much as this girl did. That day they had come to a close and Akeno decided that she made a friend who she can see as a little sister.
But when she learned that this child was the one that she was hired to be an ally with as well escort, well she was floored. This girl was acting like a low-class Devil around her the day before and was friendly. Now in front of her parents, she was acting proper and dressed properly as well, completely opposite of what she was the day before.
-Flashback end-
"I was shocked when I met her. Due to that, we have become close since I seen your true self, the one that she has in private that no one else but me sees. We are very close to the point that we see each other as Sisters instead of friends." Akeno stated with a smile on her face.
"I see." Cara stated as she brought the Tea and some cups over to the table.
"Well, I take it then you might be the first on her Peerage than, for a bond like that is something that many do not have." Cara stated with a smile on her face as she poured some tea into a cup.
"I see, it is not uncommon. I am not a Devil, but a half-breed of a Fallen Angel and a human. She took me in regardless and even after finding out the truth about me, her love and friendship for me grew even more." Akeno stated with a smile on her face.
"I see, are you going to accept if she offered?" Cara asked as she handed the tea to Akeno.
"Already have, she stated that she needed someone that she can trust." Akeno stated with a smile on her face.
"I see, one lump or two?" Cara asked as she took the top off the container for the sugar.
-In Ajuka's personal Dimension where the Kings Monument is located-
Rias was walking with Ajuka thru the darkness of the dimension that they both had entered from the door that appeared in the study. It was several minutes since they came here. They were walking towards the light where the monument stood. He also explained the process of determining the amount and what pieces to use as well how to do the ritual.
"I see, I guess Akeno may not be my Queen then." Rias stated with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Actually, that was not a bad assessment. She might be a Queen with several other pieces due to her potential." Ajuka stated with a smile.
"I see." Rias stated with a smile on her face as they walked up to a statue that looked like a large King chess piece.
The monument looked like it was made of pure black marble and stood at the height of fifty feet tall. Around the base just four feet off the ground was a gray marble table that was the Alter which was littered with magic circles.
"Now, you are to take this dagger and cut open the pawn of your hand and place it on the monument. You than state the spell I told you and a King piece is formed and then will go inside of you while the other pieces form on the Alter in front of you." Ajuka stated as he handed her a gold handle dagger that had several jewels in the handle.
"I see." Rias stated as she walked forward into the light and stood before the Alter and slit the pawn of her left hand and placed it on the moment.
"I am Rias Gremory, heir of the house of Gremory and the sister of Sirzechs Lucifer. I am here to take my place as King of an Peerage whom I will command and they will follow." She stated as the monument glowed and a circle of red color formed around her.
In the matter of seconds, a wind shot thru the area as her hair flowed up. The circle that she was standing in which was red glowed brightly than it changed to the color blue. Ajuka looked at this with wonder, for this was not normal at all.
"What is this?" Ajuka stated as he looked at something that never happened before since this system was created by him, even the king pieces that they had gain were red in color.
In the matter of seconds, a blue King piece was formed into the air before her and then it glowed. Ajuka just looked at the sight, for never had there been a mutated King piece formed during this ritual. This was historical which meant that Rias Gremory and her Peerage would become legends if someone does not kill them off first.
In the matter of seconds, the other chess pieces formed in front of her. His eyes bugged out of their eyes sockets for there was not a single evil piece that was not a mutated piece at all, for her entire set was mutated. Even though it was possible in the system, it never happened before, but even the unrestricted version never had an entire mutated set where some pieces were a higher level of mutation like this one before him. These meant that Rias had a lot of power and Kara was right, her peerage will be above average if she had a set like this.
"Well that was simple." Rias commented as she looked at the set that had appeared and then at Ajuka who just stood there with his mouth wide open.
"What?" Rias asked as he closed his mouth and took a deep breath.
"Normally, A Devil might get one or two Mutated Evil Piece when their set is created, but then again that only happens one out of five hundred Devils. Not only that Rias, even the sets we gotten from that monument was not this mutated at all for we had a few normal pieces in ours. " Ajuka stated as she looked at the set that was there before her.
"Normal Evil Pieces are red in color and they are the ones that have normal value to them that the system is based on." He stated as she looked at her set and noticed that there was not one red piece among the set.
"Never before has a entire set become mutated Rias, even your king was mutated which never happened before." Ajuka stated as she looked at him.
"Your King was blue in color, which is normal mutation. Any piece that is normal mutation is worth 2 times more than it normally did." Ajuka stated as Rias looked at her set.
"So six of mine Pawns which are blue instead of red means that they are worth 2 Pawns each instead of one each. I also see that both of my Rooks are blue which mean that they have a value of 8 Pawns instead of 4 Pawns each." Rias stated as she picked up those pieces and placed them in her pocket as Ajuka nodded his head to show that she was correct.
"I also see that my Bishops is blue as well, then that means that they are worth 10 Pawns each instead of five Pawns. I also see that both of my knights are blue as well, that means that instead of being worth 3 Pawns each, they both are worth 6 Pawns each." She stated as she picked them up and placed them into her pocket then looked at the remaining two pieces which were two purple colored pawns.
"I see that both of the Paladins and Dragons are mutated as well. That means that they are worth double the value as well." She stated as she put them into her pocket.
"What does it mean if they are purple like these two?" Rias asked as she showed them to him.
"Let me see one of them." Ajuka asked as Rias tossed one to him and looked at it.
"If they were green in color then each of them would be known as Fairy Mutated Evil Pieces and they would be worth 4 times more than their normal value which would be 4 Pawns each." He stated as he gasped and looked at her then back at the piece.
"I knew it was possible, but it never happened and after the restrictions are placed on the monument, it never will as well. This mean that you are the first and only person to have any piece of this version. This is known as Legend Mutation Evil Piece. I created this level which is the max level when I thought I thought that Shalba Beelzebub would accept the system at the end of the war, but we know how that turned out." Ajuka stated as Rias looked at him and nodded her head up and down.
"He refused to accept the peace as well the new system so my brother and the others became the new Satans of the Underworld." She stated as he nodded his head up and down.
"Well Rias, any piece that is at this level is worth 8 time more than its normal value. That means each of these pawns are worth 8 Pawns each, so these two worth two entire pawn sets." Ajuka stated as Rias looked at the one that was in her hand and caught the other one that he had tossed at her.
"You are the first to have a king that is not normal Rias. You are the first to have a set that is 100% mutated in some way with no basic Evil Pieces. You are the first to have any piece that is Legendary Mutated." Ajuka stated as she looked at him.
"If I have to say, this meant that you have the chance to become the strongest King to exist. That is not all, for I say that if you survive long enough, you might become have the most powerful Peerage in existence if this is your starting point." Ajuka stated as Rias sighed as she began to worried that he would let it spread and she would have to deal with Riser sooner than later. That would not due, but then again the man was a friend of her brother so she decided to ask a favor.
"Can I ask you to keep this to yourself?" Rias asked as Ajuka smiled at the young female Devil for he knew what her concerns were.
"Relax, the only person I will report to is your brother. He will not tell anyone else until your first Rating Game that your set is special. He also wants to know how you are so he would be able to assist you." Ajuka stated as smiled at her.
"Besides, I am happy to inform you that he purchased this for you." Ajuka added as he tossed her a card which she caught and looked at.
"That card is a special card. You place it on a door that is closed and then channel some mana into it. When you do that, you open the door and can take the card with you. That will cause the door will open into a special dimension that I made. In that dimension is library that has a copy of my entire library on the Rating Game, Evil Piece System, as well copies of the scrolls that I managed to collect from the ruins of the Forsaken Race." Ajuka stated as Rias looked at him and then smiled.
"I seem, thank you." Rias stated as she smiled at the ideal of having an advantage on her problems, but she could not shake the feeling that someone planned this and it was not her brother.
