Sorry for the long wait but here is the 3rd chapter of Existence! Enjoy!

Morning – Mittelt POV

A cool breeze gushed into the quiet bedroom as it parted the curtains like a gate opening into the unknown world. From the gaps of the curtain shined the bright light of the sun as it flashed over the eyes of a blond haired girl, Mittelt.

"Unn…" moaned Mittelt as her voice resonated into the room as she shuffled lightly inside the bed. The bright sunlight shined into the room once again. Mittelt eyes slowly opened as she rubbed one of her eyes with the back of her right hand. She pushed herself upright onto the bed as she yawned slightly before drowsily surveying the room.

The room looked really plain, as it only seemed like it had the necessities. The walls were colored in white and had a closet, two bookshelves and a small work desk with the chair pushed into it.

… Looks like I survived and I am in someone's room… thought Mittelt as she yawned one more time before resting her head back on the pillow. However it only lasted a couple of seconds since she shot back up with her eyes wide open as she looked around the room again. She looked at her hands as she slowly clasped them into fists.

She was alive. She wasn't dead. Tears flowed down from her eyes as realization hit her that she was alive. Quickly wiping them off, she tried to piece together what happened. She remembered she was on the ground, crying when something flashed before her and the next thing she knew she was here. She brought her hand to her chin as she pondered slightly when suddenly the door creaked open.

She turned her attention to the door to see a black haired boy with yellow glowing eyes wearing a white long sleeved collared shirt with his sleeves rolled up and black pants walking into the room. He stops moving when his eyes met her eyes. Silence takes over the room as Mittelt cautiously watches and waits for the boy to do anything.

"Oh… You're awake. How are you feeling?" the boy said as he smiles lightly and breaks the silence. Mittelt was taken back at his small but warm smile directed towards her when suddenly she could feel her cheeks warming up. She redirects her eyes to the ground to avoid the smile before speaking.

"…Good…" Mittelt says shyly as she glances at the door to see the boy still smiling slightly as he walked into the room.

… Damn it! What's happening to me!? Why can't I keep eye contact!? Mittelt cursed in her mind as she was unable to keep her eyes on the boy without feeling something grow on her cheeks. The boy grabs a bag before stopping and turning towards Mittelt.

"I'm the owner of this house, Lucius Moretti. What's your name?"

"… M-Mittelt…"

"Mittelt… That's a cute name" replied Lucius as Mittelt could feel her heart beat accelerating as she could feel her ears warming up.

"A-Are you the one who saved me?" asked Mittelt as she tried to distract herself from hearing her own heartbeat.

"Yea that was me. I have to go to school so you can stay in my home for as long as you like. It's probably the safest place you have right now… Anyway foods in the fridge and your friend is sleeping in the other room." explained Lucius as he pointed to the next room. Mittelt's face shot up hearing that Kalawarner was in the other room.

"Is Kalawarner going to be alright!?" shouted Mittelt loudly and quickly as she wanted to get the answer out of him quickly and confirm her safety. Lucius covered his ears slightly from the shout.

"So that's her name… Relax. Your friend is fine. She just needs some rest." assured Lucius as Mittelt breathed a sigh of relief before smiling to herself in happiness. She looked back up and looked around, only to find that the boy, Lucius had disappeared like the wind.

He must have left because he had school… thought Mittelt as she turned to window as she pulled the curtains. She peered outside of the house as she giggled to herself slightly.

"Lucius… Moretti" she whispered his name before blushing slightly in embarrassment. She pushed herself out of bed and headed for the door to check up on Kalawarner.

Afterschool – Lucius POV

Lucius sat in his seat as he looked out the window with his face resting on his hand. It was a boring day like usual with the teachers blabbering about the same thing. He glanced at the clock in the back of the room and saw that there was only a minute or so left before he could get out of here. He smirked to himself in delight and happiness.

What should I eat ton- !?

While he was contemplating on what to eat for dinner, a sudden arrival of a powerful aura caused him to widen his eyes slightly and stop his train of thought. He lifted his head from the hand and glanced at Kiba whose eyes were still fixed at the board.

So he hasn't noticed… This aura… feels familiar thought Lucius when the bell rang cutting his train of thought once again. Lucius shook his head as he stood up from his seat and stretch. He shoved all of his notebooks into his bag and was about to dash out of the door when Kiba walked up to him.

"Lucius-kun. Do you mind coming to the clubroom? Buchou wants to speak with you again." asked Kiba with a smile. Lucius narrowed his eyes slightly in annoyance. Ever since Lucius told them that he was a Devil, the Gremory peerage would often come up to him and act friendly towards him by asking him various questions to inviting him to sit with them during lunch. Occasionally Lucius would accept their offer but at times it would annoy him to no end.

Lucius watched Kiba silently for a couple more seconds before sighing and nodding his head in defeat. Kiba smiled back at him as the two left the room and proceeded to make their way towards the clubroom. Along the way, they met with Issei and Asia as Issei began asking Kiba questions. Since it was a problem in the peerage, Lucius slowed his pace and walked behind them with his hands in his pocket. Although he agreed to follow Kiba, he was not in the mood of socializing. Instead he thought about the familiar aura when he realized that the aura was getting stronger.

So… It's someone from the Gremory family… Then it has to be her... thought Lucius as he narrowed his eyes in realization. When they reached the front door of the clubroom, Lucius clicked his tongue in annoyance from the presence when he noticed Kiba noticing the presence.

"…For me to finally realize the presence here…" Kiba murmured out loud as he narrowed his eyes. Issei grabs the doorknob and opens it without any concern. Inside the room are the other members of the Gremory peerage and a silvered haired woman wearing a maid outfit. Lucius instantly recognizes her as he twitched his eye in annoyance.

Grayfia… thought Lucius as he noticed Grayfia widening her eyes slightly before returning to her usual stoic expression. Lucius shifted his attention to the others in room as he could feel its tense atmosphere. Rias Gremory had an annoyed expression while her [Queen] was smiling but Lucius could tell she was releasing a cold vibe. He glanced at Koneko who was sitting in the corner quietly like she was avoiding the whole situation.

"Oh my" whispered Kiba as he walked into the room followed by Issei and Asia. Lucius sighs inwardly and follows them but makes his way to the corner of the room so he can avoid the events about to unfold.

"Looks like everyone is here. Before we start activities, there's something I need to tell all of you." Rias spoke after looking at each of the members.

"Ojou-sama, do you want me to explain the situation?" offered Grayfia only for Rias to rejected her offer by waving her hand. Rias was about to open her mouth to speak when the magic circle that was drawn on the floor glows. While Issei stared in curiosity, Lucius narrowed his eyes at the different symbol.

"—Phenex" muttered Kiba quietly as Issei spins his head around at Kiba while Lucius glanced at Kiba slightly before turning his attention back to the circle. A bright light shines through the room as the magic circle bursts in flames. Although Lucius sat some distance away from the circle, the intensity of the flame could easily be felt. There is a silhouette of a man inside the flames. When he swings his arm across to the side, the flames disappear.

"Fuu, it's been a while since I came to the human's world." the man said. He wore a red suit with his shirt open till his chest and didn't have a tie. His hands were in his pockets. The guy looks around the room, and then smirks after seeing Rias.

"My lovely Rias. I came to see you." the man said as Rias looked at him with her eyes half closed. The guy ignored her cold attitude and approached her.

"Now then, Rias. Let's go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date of the ceremony is decided so we need to check it before then." the man continued to speak as he grabs Rias's arm. Lucius watched the scene happen before him with tired eyes. The man was Riser Phenex, third son of the Phenex Clan. Lucius had heard about this clan since it was famous for its Phenex tears and for their powerful regeneration abilities.

"…Let go of me, Riser." said Rias with a deep and serious voice while shaking the guys hand off. Her tone had venom and she sounded really pissed off.

"Hey, you. You are being rude to Buchou. Actually, what's with that attitude towards a girl?" Issei spoke out loudly. Lucius cocked his eyebrow slightly in amusement at Issei's actions. Normally he would expect a reincarnated Devil to keep his mouth shut but he could tell Issei was different. Riser looks at him as if he was looking at some trash.

"Ah? Who are you?" Riser said with a displeased tone.

"I am the servant Devil of Rias Gremory-sama! I'm the [Pawn], Issei Hyoudou."

"Hmm. Ah, okay." replied Riser with a dull reaction to Issei's words which caused him to slip slightly. Lucius cocked his eyes and shook his head at the stupidity of Issei. It was obvious that a High-class Devil like would never take a reincarnated Devil seriously.

"I mean, who the heck are you?"

"…Oh? Rias, you haven't mentioned me to your servants? I mean, are there guys who don't know me? A reincarnated Devil? Even so."

"I didn't tell them because there was no need."

"Oh my, harsh like always. Hahaha…" laughed Riser as Grayfia entered the discussion.

"Issei Hyoudou-sama."

"Y-Yes."

"This person is Riser Phenex-sama. He's a pure-blood High-class Devil, and the third son of the House of Phenex." explained Grayfia.

"And he is the husband of the next heiress of the House of Gremory." added Grayfia when Issei blinked several times in confusion. Lucius closed his eyes slightly in surprise from this revelation as his gaze moved from Issei to Rias as her face distorted in anger and disgust from Grayfia's words.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!" screamed Issei as Lucius plugged his left ear with his finger. Riser gleamed in happiness at Issei's surprised expression as he and Rias sat on the couch together with Akeno bring Riser some tea. Riser took a sip of the tea and praised it as Akeno replied with a strained smile. Riser proceeds to touch Rias's hair, hands and shoulders while Rias keeps shaking him off. Her servants stood a little away from them and could only watch the scene fold out in front of them.

"Stop it already!" shouted Rias with an angry voice as it echoed the room. The members of her peerage flinched slightly as she was standing in front of the sofa and glaring sharply at Riser. Riser on the other hand is smirking like usual.

"Riser! I told you before! I will not marry you!"

"Yeah, I heard that before. But Rias, that won't do, you know? I think the situation of your household is quite serious."

"That's none of your concern! If I'm the next heiress for the House of Gremory, then I will choose who will become my husband! My father, brother, and everyone in the clan are rushing it! Also it was a promise that I will be free until I graduate from university of the human world!"

"That's right. You will basically be free. You can go to college and you can do whatever you like with your servants. But your Otou-sama and Sirzechs-sama are worried. They are afraid that your household will become extinct. We lost a great number of pureblood Devils in the last war. Even if the war has ended, our rivalry with the Fallen Angels and God hasn't ended yet. It's not rare for the successors of pureblood Devil to get killed in the worthless battle against them, which leads to the household becoming extinct. So for a pureblood Devil that are also happens to be a High-class Devil, getting together would be the obvious solution for the forces of Devils. A pureblood High-class Devil. Even you know that these children will be important from now on, right?"

Lucius's ears perked up as they began to discuss about the future of Devils. Being a fellow pureblood himself, he could understand what Riser was talking about. With the loss of many clans of the '72 pillars', the number of purebloods was decreasing while the number of reincarnated Devils was increasing. Riser and Rias were chosen to prevent the purebloods from going extinct. Lucius inwardly clicked his tongue in annoyance. Although Riser was right about the purebloods, he didn't like his attitude towards woman and his arrogance that purebloods are really high and mighty. He acted like all of the Devils who treated him like a monster and a freak.

"I'm not going to crush my house. And I am willing to take a husband." replied Rias as Riser made a big smile.

"Oh, to be expected from Rias! Then let's—"

"But I won't marry you, Raiser. I will marry the one I acknowledge. Even the Devils from the old noble house have the right to choose." interrupts Rias as she saids so clearly. Hearing that, Riser suddenly becomes unpleasant. His eyes become sharper and he even makes a noise with his tongue.

"…You know, Rias. I'm also a Devil who carries the name of House of Phenex behind me. I can't let that name get tarnished. I didn't even want to come to a small old building like this in the human world. Rather, I don't like the human world that much. The fire and wind of this world is filthy. For a Devil like me who rules fire and wind, I can't stand it!" commented Riser as flames surround him.

"I will take you back to the underworld, even if I have to burn all of your servants."

Riser's hostility and killing intent fills the room. The fire he created start to surround his body as intense heat fills the room. Rias and the others prepare to make a stand against him as Rias leaks a bit of her red aura from her body.

Lucius sighs quietly at the sight and brings his arm forward and swings it in a downward motion. Suddenly a pool of water forms above Riser as it splashes over him like a waterfall. Everyone stares at Riser who comes out of the waterfall completely wet from head to toe. Anger starts to boil from his face when Lucius spoke up.

"Cool it, fire brain. Using your fire in this wooden building will cause it to burn to the ground."

Riser swirls his body towards Lucius as he glares at him with anger and displeasure written all over his face.

"Are you the one who poured at water over me, you shitty low-class Devil?" asked Riser with venom in his words. Lucius narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth to speak when only for another voice to interrupt him.

"Riser-sama, that boy is Lucius Moretti, a pureblood Ultimate-class Devil. It would be unwise to go against him" commented Grayfia as Riser turned to face her with his eyes open widely and fearfully pointed at Lucius.

"ULTIMATE-CLASS!? THIS BRAT!?" shouted Riser in shock. The Gremory peerage could not believe their ears. A few days back, he told them that he was a High-class Devil but to find out that he was actually an Ultimate-class was huge shock to them. Lucius narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Was it really necessary to tell them, Grayfia?" asked Lucius as Grayfia smiled and shrugged slightly as she returned to her stoic expression as she cleared her throat to get their attention.

"Master, Sirzechs-sama, and those from the House of Phenex knew it would turn out like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be solved, so they decided to make a last resort."

"Last resort? What do you mean, Grayfia?"

"Ojou-sama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you settle it by having a Rating Game against Riser-sama?

"…!?"

Rias becomes speechless hearing Grayfia-san. She seems to be very shocked. Issei cocked his head in confusion as Kiba starts to explain to him what the Rating Game is about.

Hah… How stupid is Issei to not to know about this… thought Lucius as Grayfia continues her explanation.

"Just as you know, Ojou-sama, only mature aged Devils can participate in an official 'Rating Game'. But if it's an unofficial match between pureblood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case—"

"When it involves the family and household problems."

Buchou continues to talk while making a sigh.

"In other words Otou-sama and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I was to decline, right? …Just how far are they intending to interfere with my life to feel satisfied...!"

"Then Ojou-sama, you are saying you would also decline to participate in the game?"

"No, I won't, since this is a chance. All right. Let's settle this with a game, Riser."

Raiser smirks after Rias's provocative words.

"Hee, so you're accepting it. I don't mind. But I'm already a matured Devil and I have already participated in the official game. Right now I have won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?" replied Riser with even more provocative words. Rias sends back a fearless smile.

"I will. I will blow you away, Riser!"

"Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if I win, you will marry me immediately."

Both of them glare at each other. They are both glaring at each other with scary eyes. Lucius on the other hand narrowed his eyes and shook his head. Judging by the difference in experience and abilities, he could confident assume that Riser was going to win the match. In his mind, Rias was acting like a foolish little child.

"Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed both sides opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two households. Is that okay?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

Buchou and Raiser both agree to Grayfia-san's approval.

"Understood. I will inform the two households then."

Grayfia-san bows her head after confirming.

"Hey, Rias. Would the ones here except him be your servants?" asked Riser as Rias twitched her eyes at his words.

"So what?" answered Rias as Riser starts to laugh hysterically.

"Then this match will be a laugh. Only your [Queen], the 'Priestess of Thunder' can fight on par with my adorable servants." said Riser as he clicked his fingers. The magic circle on the floor glows as the same Phenex emblem appears. Fire surrounds the circle as shadows appear from the circle.

"Well, these are my cute servants." said Riser as 15 servants gather around him. Lucius crossed his arms and surveyed each of the members as he took in their strength. He could instantly tell that all of them had potential and experience and all of them were stronger than the current level of Rias and her peerage.

6 versus 15… This is hardly a fair match… thought Lucius as continued to glance at each one when he noticed a beautiful blond haired girl staring at him. Her hair was tied in a ponytail with drill like curls and she wore a western dress. He narrowed his eyes slightly as she quickly faced the other way in embarrassment. Lucius sighed and turned as he spotted Issei staring at Riser with tears flowing from his eyes.

That pervert… thought Lucius as Riser seemed really freaked out by Issei while Rias places her hand on her forehead in annoyance.

"H-Hey, Rias… This servant-kun over here is crying a lot while looking at me."

"This boy's dream is to have a harem. I think he was moved after looking at your servants."

Lucius face palmed himself at the sight of Issei. He could hear words of disgust directed at Issei coming from Riser's girls.

"Rias-sama, who is that boy over there?" asked the drill haired girl as the other girls quieted down to hear her speak as she pointed to Lucius. Some of the other girls turned their heads towards him as he removed his hand from his face and glanced at the girl.

"He is Lucius Moretti, a pureblood Ultimate-class Devil" answered Rias as the girl widened her eyes in surprise as her eyes was fixed on him. Lucius bowed slightly as he glanced back at her when suddenly the sound of slurping caught his attention. He twitched his eyes in annoyances as he saw Riser starting to tongue kiss one of the girls. Rias watches in disgust while Issei watches with perverted eyes. The girl moans in a sweet voice as Riser parts as a thread of saliva connects them. Riser then starts to tongue kiss another girl.

"You will never be able to do this." said Riser as he smirks and looks down on Issei after finishing his tongue kiss.

"Oh no you didn't! Damn it! Boosted Gear!" shouted Issei as he summoned his Boosted Gear. Lucius cocked his eyebrows slightly to find one of the Longinus in this school as watched the red gauntlet appear on his left arm. Issei then proceeds to point his finger at Riser.

"A womanizer like you isn't good enough to be with Buchou!"

"Huh? Weren't you looking up to the so-called womanizer?"

"S-Shut up! That's different with the thing about Buchou! At this rate, you will continue to flirt with other girls even after you marry Buchou!"

"Heroes love women. That's a saying in the human world, right? A good phrase indeed. But this is just a close relationship with my servants. Aren't you also getting adored by Rias?"

"Hero my ass! You are just a bird guy! Fire bird Phenex? Hahaha! That's the same as Yakitori!" provoked Issei as Lucius once again face palms at his stupidity. Riser puts a furious expression at his words.

"Yakitori!? Y-You Low-class Deeeeevil! Don't get ahead of yourself! That's not the way you talk to a High-class Devil! Rias, what's going on with your discipline towards your servants!?"

"Like I care" said Rias as she looked away.

"Hey Yakitori-guy! I will just beat the crap out of you with my Boosted Gear! We don't need to have a game! I will just take you all down, right here, right now!"

[Boost!]

A sound resonated from the jewel located on the gauntlet as Lucius could feel his power doubling. However he knew it would not be enough to defeat any of his peerage members.

"Mira. Do it."

"Yes, Riser-sama."

Riser gives an order as a small girl takes a battles posture after swinging her stick around. Before Issei could react she sped past instantly to him and was about to smack his stomach when suddenly a crack of lightning hit the area in front of them.

Standing in front of Issei was Lucius with his hand grasping the tip of the staff, his body cackling from electricity. The members of Riser's peerage widens their eyes at the speed he took to move from his seat to in front of Rias Gremory's [Pawn].

"I think the display of your strengths will have to wait." said Lucius as he pushed the staff away. The girl, Mira nods her head reluctantly as she walks back towards her place. Lucius turns to Issei as his yellow eyes pierces into Issei's eyes.

"Luciu-"

Issei was interrupted with a sharp pain in his stomach as he sent flying to the wall. The members of Rias's peerage watched in horror and shock at the sight. Asia rushes towards his side and begins to heal him with her Twilight Healing.

"Don't get cocky, Issei Hyoudou. Just because you have a Longinus, doesn't make you stronger than anyone of them." said Lucius as he pointed to Riser's peerage. He then turns to Riser as Riser flinches from his gaze.

"Riser-dono. I apologize from this idiot's actions. I hope you can look past it" Lucius calmly spoke as Riser nods his head slowly in agreement. He then puts his hand on his chin as he seems to have thought of something.

"Rias, how about we have a match in 10 days? We could do it now, but that wouldn't be interesting."

"…Are you giving me a handicap."

"Are you against it? Is it humiliating? 'Rating Game' isn't something simple that you can win with only your feelings. If you can't use your servant's power to the fullest, then you will lose immediately. So it's not weird for you to train with your servants for your first 'Rating Game'. I have seen Devils who lost without using their power to the fullest countless of times, no matter how great their potential and power was."

Rias doesn't complain and listened quietly to what Raiser's said as Lucius glances back at Rias. When Raiser directs his palm towards the ground, the magic-circle starts to glow.

"—10 days. If it's you, then you should be able to improve your servants."

Saying that, Raiser disappears in the light of the magic-circle along with his servants.

The room fell silent as the tense atmosphere fell onto the room as nobody spoke or moved. However they soon heard the sound of footsteps as they turned to see Lucius grabbing his bag and making his way towards the door. He stops in front of the door as he glances back at the members of Rias's peerage.

"Good luck with the 'Rating Game.' You are going to need it" said Lucius as he left the room without turning back again.

Home – Lucius POV

Lucius stood in front of the door of his home. For the whole time during his walk back home, he was thinking in his head the possibility of Rias's peerage of winning the game but he knew it was close to impossible. The difference in level and experience is too vast and even if she had 10 days to train her peerage, it would be impossible to reach Riser's level that quickly. Plus defeating his immortality will be extremely tricky since he is able to regenerate his wounds, making him practically invincible.

Lucius sighed as he shook his head of the thought as he opened the door to his home. He took of his shoes and stepped onto the wooden floor of the hallway.

"I'm hom-"

Before Lucius could finish his sentence, a blue haired woman, Kalawarner came into view, holding a spear made from light as she tried to stab him. Clicking his tongue, Lucius disappeared and appeared a few meters away from them as Mittelt joined the side of the woman, a complex expression written on her face.

"… What's the meaning of this?"

"That's something I want to know, Devil" Kalawarner spoke with venom in her words.

Hoh… She found out I was a Devil… thought Lucius as he glanced at Mittelt who watched him with conflicted feelings. She didn't summon a spear but she stood on Kalawarner's side with a complicated expression. Lucius sighs as he rubs the back of his head.

"You know, you shouldn't be calling someone like me a Devil. Apparently I don't 'deserve' that naming."

"What the hell are you talking about Devil? This house smell of a Devil, making the owner a Devil."

"That's not what I meant… I meant I shouldn't be called a Devil." spoke Lucius with a shrug. Kalawarner gritted her teeth as she gripped her spear tightly.

"Stop saying outrageous things! Do you want to die!?" she shouted as she charged forward with her spear.

"Kalawarner! Wait!" Mittelt shouted but it was too late. Kalawarner was now standing a few centimeters in front of Lucius as she tried to plunge the spear forward into his abdomen. Lucius stood there with his eyes staring straight at her, not moving. Kalawarner smirked, as her spear was a just a few seconds away from impact when suddenly something hit her spear away with incredible speed. She widened her eyes as she jumps back anticipating an attack from Lucius. However she stood there with a shocked expression, as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Lucius stood in front of the two Fallen Angels with a sword made from pure light. Lucius could understand their reaction. They would never believe a Devil would be able to use the power of light.

"Th-That's impossible! No Devil is able to use the power of light!" shouted Kalawarner in shock while Mittelt stood next to her with finger pointed towards him as she stood in wonder and shock. Lucius sighed as the sword of light vanished into thin air. He then summoned a book as he threw the book towards them. The two of them turned their attention to the book for a second before turning their attention back to Lucius.

"Open the bookmarked page" instructed Lucius as he pointed at the book. Kalawarner narrowed her eyes as she warily watched him while Mittelt walked forward and picked up the book. She walked back to Kalawarner's side as she slowly opened the bookmarked page.

"…! This is!" exclaimed Mittelt as Kalawarner stared at the page in horror before turning to face Lucius with wide eyes.

"… Are you-"

"A member of that clan? Yeah, sadly I am. That's why I said I shouldn't be called a 'Devil'. To other Devils, I am just a freak… A monster" said Lucius as he spoke in a tone of sadness and pain. The girls looked at him as they felt they understood his pain. They knew what he was going through. Lucius shook his head as he turns around and starts to make his way to the stairs.

"You guys can stay here as long as you like. I am going to bed early. I had tiresome day."

"You know we might kill you in your sleep." said Kalawarner out loud as Lucius stops moving as he glances back with a smirk as his yellow eyes glow in the slight darkness.

"Something tells me you won't dare to try." replied Lucius as he made his way upstairs as the girls watched him vanish into the darkness of the 2nd floor.

Here is the long awaited third chapter of Existence. In this chapter we start the Riser arc of the story however with many parts glossed over since we all know what happens in the canon. Lots of reviews from last chapter so I will try to answer them right now! Hear we go:

Ragna: The Teigu's are not Scared Gears. In this story, the Teigus are a class of 48 deadly weapons created by people around the world who wanted to try to reach the realm and territory of the God's and God-class weapons like Excalibur, Durandal, Gram, Caliburn, Gungnir and Mjolnir. I won't add Sheele since I don't really like her Teigu that much :P

Guard: Yami from To Love Rus? That might be interesting however it kind of overlaps with Akame so I'm going to have to say no to her. Sorry.

Santa Cruz: Rock Lee? Hmm... Taijutsu... I don't really think he will fit the story...

Fear Ripper: I'm not gonna add Rinrin since I really found her annoying in the anime... Her voice... Agh...

Raidentensho: I don't really want a male version of Grayfia in this peerage so I will have to say no on Sebastian.

For the Harem, I have added Sona and Yasaka into the harem however Sona will take some time before she will fall for him officially. I personally think that the harem is done for this story since all of the girls in his peerage will fall for Lucius (which is around 10 girls). If you still have characters you want to see in the harem, just add a review about it and I will think about it.

Harem: Serafall, Rossweisse, Kalawarner, Mittelt, Kunou, Gabriel, Griselda, Kuroka, Sona, Yasaka (WIP)

Peerage (WIP)

Queen (Done): Mirajane Strauss

Bishop (Done): Ravel Phenex, Wendy Marvell

Knight (Done): Akame, Jeanne

Rook (Done): Leone, Sajin Komamura

Pawn: Mizore Shirayuki (1 Piece), Mine (1 piece), Jellal Fernandes (2 piece with mutation), Kanu (1 piece), Enju Aihara (1 piece)

There has been major changes to the peerage. Kurumu has been removed as per requested and I really couldn't find a way to develop her powers further unlike the other characters. I have decided to add Kanu and Enju as Pawns. Jeanne has been really popular for obvious reasons and I feel like she would be an interesting character and addition to the peerage so I have decided to add her as well. Sajin Komamura was a character I thought that might work in the peerage because in the Bleach story he wasn't accept by anyone because of his appearance until Genryuusai Yamamoto so that could happen between Lucius and him since Lucius understands the trouble Sajin goes through.

Here are some questions again (fourth time) for you guys to answer:

1. Who should be the second character to join Lucius's peerage? I have a rough idea in what order they will join but I want to hear your opinions. The first character to join is... Well I shouldn't spoil :P

2. Who should be the last pawn or two? I have two pieces left so it can be two characters that are worth a single pawn piece or it can be one character that is worth two pawn pieces. I want to hear some suggestions.

3. Now that we have most of the members of the peerage completed, I want to know if there are any characters that you feel that should not be in the peerage and why. Of course some characters will not be moved regardless of what you say but I still want to hear if you guys want me to remove a character with someone else.

4. Who should be his familiar? I have an idea for a familiar I might want to give but Lucius is allowed to more so if you have an idea for a good or interesting familiar then please send me a review.
