SO SO SO SORRY FOR THE DELAYED UPDATE, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A MONTH. I apologize for any inconvenience I have caused. I had promised to make it 8k chapter, but I was only able to make it to 6k with the things I had planned for this, so I decided to make an Omake at the bottom. Enjoy~
Also, apologies for the misunderstanding in the last chapter. I fixed up the names, since I kinda of accidentally put Houvdon instead of Issei. And my old readers know Houvdon is my usual OC...so yeah. I fixed it up.
Also, which title is better, "Exiled Demon of Gremory" or "A Demon's Reality".
Enjoy~

Opening 1 - Sympathy - Lantis
[Tomo ni mou ichido tachiagare] Issei stood covered with blue flames, dual swords clutched in his hands, as his silhouette rose in the flames.
[Mamore hitotsu no inochi tayasanu you ni] Issei's eyes turned red, as his right sword covered in blue flames was lifted up, as he released a loud cry, shining brightly in the circle of flames. The screen erupts in blue flames, before the title flashes across the screen.
A Demon's Reality
[Futatabi otozureta yoake ni megasamete] Serafall wakes up in bed alone, and looks around confused. She walked to the window and opens it, looking into the night sky.
[Kimi wo omoidasu yume no tochuu] Issei hugs her from behind, his head placed upon of hers as they stare at the moon and stars together. The screen shifts to a bloody battlefield, before showing the Old Maou Faction standing in a line.
[Me no mae no zanzou susumanai ashidori] Sirzechs flashes across the screen, his body outlined by Power of Destruction. His eyes turn black, before Lucina takes his place in the screen, herself surrounded by ice.
[Touzakatte yuku hirikina boku] Issei runs towards the screen, Oscurare taking up the background with his arms crossed. The screen quickly shifts over to Gabriel, and she is quickly replaced by a holy beam of light.
[Taisetsuna mono wa doko ni aru?] Serafall jumps across the screen ice shooting out of her fingertips, before Sirzechs jumps in front of her, Power of Destruction surrounding his body, and punches forward.
[Ashita wo shinjirunara wasurenaide] Sirzechs was replaced by Ajuka, Magic circles formed behind him, making a wall, before the screen shatters and flashes black. Issei is shown in the distance, with his back facing the screen. The screen turned, Issei's silver eyes facing the screen. He formed a sword made of blue flames and cuts across the screen.
[Ima koso saa inochi wo kakete susumi dasu toki] Issei is surrounded by fire, as Creuserey clashes swords with him. Issei lunged forward, his swords being parried and block by Creuserey. He quickly jumps back, as Lucina and Katerea throw ice and magic bullets at him. He kicks Creuserey aside, his swords flashing as he charged at Lucina.
[Omoi ga tsuyoi hodo tsuyoku naru] A wave of fire washes over the screen, before the fire clears momentarily, to reveal Satan standing in front of Lucina and Katerea, his hand held out as he withheld a barrier.
[Hengen suru tsugi hagidarake no risou dewa] Satan quickly disappears, and Creuserey stabs Issei in the chest. Issei glows in a blue light, before shattering into pieces like glass. The screen shifts into a palace made of black obsidian.
[Sugu ni kiete shimaukara] Issei stands in front Satan, surrounded at all sides by mirrors. The screen shifts quickly, with Sirzechs standing in front of Grayfia, Serafall in front of Lucina, Ajuka in front of Katerea, and Falbium in front of Shalba. The screen turns into a close-up of Rizevim, his eyes glowing a demonic red.
[Towa e tsuzuku kawasu chikai] Issei reaches out his hand, and Serafall holds it. They look into each others eyes before they vanish into blue flames.
[Furue dashita karada no soko kara] Issei stands in front of Rizevim, his swords at ready, before he becomes overcome by blue flames, and he transforms into an unidentifiable shape.
Arc I
Everdistant Utopia of Sorrow
Chapter I
Shalba Beelzebub pursed his lips as he overlooked the documents that were laid out on his table. He stared at the report that read "Sirzechs Gremory is said to rival Rizevim Livan Lucifer! Do the Anti-Satan Faction stand a chance now?"
His chocolate brown hair fell in front of his left eye, before he brushed it away. He glared hateful at the crimson haired man. "To think that the one that opposes us is the Crimson man...the one that was unable to even utilize Bael power. The Power of Destruction, at the age of 4. But now...at an age of 25, he is able to use it to its fullest potential it seems. This is a problem for Rizevim...if he is not careful, even his magical barriers will be pierced by the Power. This war has been difficult...we should've declared war and not bide our time. This may have caused us our lives...but no matter. While they lived a peaceful era with only five people getting stronger, we have been training, getting stronger than even Ultimate-Class Devils. Our entire army is at the level of a high Ultimate Class level. I doubt that even the five leaders of the Anti-Maou Faction can defeat our army."
He breathed in deeply, before exhaling. "Besides...Rizevim can rival three of them together, while each of us can take on one. All Rizevim has to do is take on Sirzechs Gremory and Ajuka Astaroth, as both depend on their magical attacks. I can take Falbium Glasya-Labolas. Katerea can take Serafall Sitri...and Creuserey can take the false Gremory...However, the thing I fear is not Sirzechs' Power of Destruction, but the false Gremory's rumored Soul Devouring Flames...the Flames that burn you slowly, and devour your soul, not allowing you to go to Heaven or Hell when you die, but sent to an empty void, where you stay forever, as your soul is needed to pass through to the afterlife..."
A knock resounded throughout the room, and Shalba said, "Come in."
In came in a beautiful woman, her silver hair waving in the wind, as her silver eyes scanned the room. She bowed, her long silver dress brushing the floor while she was standing. Shalba ignored the cleavage that was unintentional flashed. His wife, after all, was a very modest woman and was easily flustered by an kind of affection.
"Ah Grayfia."
He nodded at her, and she stood behind her husband. She looked over the documents that were layed on his desk.
"Again Shalba? You should know that our army is able to defeat the Anti-Maou Faction. Is there any need to get as much information as we can on them? The only two we need to watch out for are Sirzechs Gremory and the false Gremory." Grayfia stroked Shalba's cheek.
Shalba sighed. "Well...you never know what trump cards they have. Especially that Ajuka Astaroth. There is virtually nothing about him besides him being a powerful Devil. No matter how much info I try to get that is leaked, nothing describes his abilities. I am honestly suspenseful for what kind of abilities the Astaroth has. It must be a powerful ability..."
As Shalba rambled on, Grayfia shook her head. 'That Shalba...always worrying about us. He says that he just wants to defeat them, but in reality, he is doing this just so that we can remain safe. Deep inside, his goal is to get a unified Underworld just to keep all families and pillars alive, so that all children can have a childhood that many of us didn't have. In fact, many of us had participated in the Great War.'
Grayfia sighed as she turned Shalba's head towards hers. She leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, effectively shutting him up. A few happy seconds passed by, before Shalba pulled away, making Grayfia frowned. He frowned as well as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest. "I just...want to have the Underworld unified. So that we can all have a happiness we were never allowed to have due to the aftermath of the Great War...But don't fear Grayfia. Soon...we'll have the majority of the powerful pillars on our side."
"We lost the V-, I mean them. They were with us."
"Yeah. We lost a powerful Pillar, one that is able to channel the Flames of the Phoenix far better than the Phenex clan, which Pillar Heritage gives regeneration, not the powers of a Phenex. Most of them just ended up being good at fire and wind magic. True we lost them...but we still have many strong clans, such as the Crocell and Dantalion."
Grayfia nodded. "And don't forget the Extra Demons, such as Lucifuge."
Shalba nodded. "Yeah. Lucifuge, Abaddon. Power of Ice and the Power of Black Holes."
"My sister is not as powerful as I am, but she is able to reach the power of a Low-Class Ultimate-Class at her peak, and she is most likely going to be able to get better."
Shalba pursed his lips. He stood, his long cloak flowing after him as he walked, his brown eyes scanning the room. "Come with me Grayfia, we should gather everyone."
A few moments, before Shalba flared his rather impressive magical power.
Soon afterward, the descendant of Beelzebub paced around as he waited for everyone.
One by one they had piled in.
The first to arrive besides Shalba and Grayfia themselves, was Rizevim Livan Lucifer, his silver hair pooling around his shoulders, a bottomless and gloomy aura surrounding his body. His short stubble was colored silver as well, his Devil wings spread out behind him. Unlike other Devils that only have one wing, the Lucifer were said to be different, as they were direct descendants of Lucifer, the first Devil. As such, the only way to prove that they were descendants of the first Devil was by having multiple wings. Rizevim himself had six pairs, equaling in amount as powerful Angels, both Holy and Fallen, such as Azazel and Michael, the first Archangel and the Governor of the Grigori.
Soon after him, was Katerea Leviathan. She was a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure. She had tan skin with long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset and she had blue-grey eyes. She wore an extremely low-cut dress and it had a high slit which exposed a large portion of her breasts. Her glasses frame were purple, a staff in her hand.
Creuserey Asmodeus walked in with her, them hand in hand. It was plain obvious that the Leviathan and Asmodeus descendants were married, with the shining gold and silver rings in their respective fingers. He had a small pony-tail, his pointed ears similar to that of an elf. His amber eyes stood out in his pale skin, his clothing made of black and red silk, much like a Noble Devil.
Right after him was another Devil, this time, he was an old man. His beard was white, the strands of hair went down to his knees, his white hair and purple eyes. He displayed an aura of influence and superiority.
There were more that arrived, but since they were so many, it would take forever to describe them. Anyway, let's get to the meeting.
"Ah...I see we have all arrived." Shalba said, clapping his hands to gain everyone's attention. They all hushed, before Shalba turned to the final seat next to the man with the long white beard.
It was empty.
There were a total of seven seats. Each one representing a leader. The first, was Shalba Beelzbub, the obvious leader. The second, was Rizevim Livan Lucifer, Shalba's second in command. Third, was Katerea Leviathan. Fourth was Creuserey Asmodeus. Fifth, was the man with the long beard. Sixth, was for Grayfia, who was always passive and merely agreed with whatever Shalba agreed with.
And the final seat. No, the owner of the seat was not dead. They were merely not here because of a certain...reason.
"Why is L-"
A glare at Shalba was enough to shut the Devil that spoke out of turn.
"Where our missing leader is, is none of importance. She is merely gaining information so important and classified, that she cannot pause her search to participate in this meeting. Please forgive her." He bowed, as a way to show his false apology.
Many accepted, knowing they had to in order to proceed with the meeting.
"The reason I have called you all here, is merely because I wish to alert you of something that had come to our attention. Sirzechs Gremory, is rumored to have become strong enough to oppose Rizevim Lucifer himself." He stuck out his arm to empathize what he was saying, getting many shocked looks all around. "What's even worse, is that Ajuka Astaroth, a man that is said to have become the Third Super Devil, is shrouded in mystery. None of his abilities are leaked, few influential nobles have watched his battle with Sirzechs Gremory, and said that the young Astaroth is able to stand toe on toe with Sirzechs himself. If that is not enough, Issei Gremory, the false Gremory, is said to have grown strong enough to rival even the strongest of the Ultimate-class Devils. That changes the one thorn we have in our side to three. In fact, it seems that Serafall Sitri and Falbium Glasya-Labolas have also reached a level that rivals the Middle-class Ultimate-class Devils."
Shalba delivered the grim news of them reaching an almost Super Devil levels, making them starting to doubt their chances of victory.
"But remember this. Their leaders may be the most powerful, but their overall armies and soldiers on the other hand, are another case. An entirely different case. Their armies are made of peasants, the most strongest is only at the level of a mid-class Devil. While we are at the highest of the High-class. We even outnumber them three to one! We can handle ourselves, since it's a seven against five, with all of us being at the same power level as the young Anti-Maou Faction leaders. We know more about strategy and tactics then them."
Grayfia stepped up. "Shalba. My sister has...she has been found out."
They all widened their eyes.
"Not exactly found out but..."
Shalba narrowed his eyes. "Get to the point."
"My sister accidentally bumped into a Devil of the Anti-Maou Faction."
"Which one..." Shalba narrowed his eyes even further at the silver-haired beauty of the Lucifuge clan.
"..."
Issei Gremory stretched as he stood up from his silk blankets. He frowned as he left behind the warm blankets before shaking his head. His long silver bangs went this way and that. Issei looked at his mirror doors to his wardrobe.
He had grown to a height of 5' 10", his eyes the color of liquid silver, his hair corn silk white. His skin was the color of milk chocolate.
"5 years huh..." he muttered, his white hair falling into his eyes before he brushed it aside.
A slight murmur was heard, before Issei listened to it.
"Why is it so cold...?"
Serafall Sitri, the only daughter of the House of Sitri, the most beautiful woman in the Underworld. Her long raven locks reaching the ground. Her bright violet that glanced into your soul, the pale skin of a noblewoman. Normally, she wore her hair in pig-tails, but she let it down, allowing it to be easier to sleep. Due to this, her hair was like a curtain, her long silky black hair wrapping around both her and the blankets, leaving her with a tunnel vision.
Issei rolled his eyes. "Maybe because you sleep nude?"
That was right. Serafall found that only Issei was worthy of seeing her...bare body, deeming everyone else as not good enough for her. Normally, this would make Issei think that she was a spoiled rich princess, but Issei himself was born a low-class, his origin and biological parents currently unknown. He was found in the Garden of Lucifaad, information that was kept from the public as they would think that he was a part of the Old Maou Faction. He was adopted at Oscurare Valefor and Venelana Gremory's request.
Oscurare Valefor was a great friend of Issei, at least, before he was executed. Issei knew that Oscurare was framed for killing the entire House of Valefor, his own family. Though Oscurare was powerful, there was no possible way that he could've killed at least 20 powerful High-class Devils, even if he was an Ultimate-class Devil.
Anyway, Serafall frowned.
"Well...you're warm enough to keep me warm." Serafall stepped outside of the covers, Issei ignoring the assets that jiggled with her movements.
She wrapped her arms around him, putting her face into the crook of his neck.
Issei frowned.
Serafall put her head out of his neck, her violet eyes staring at him adoringly, the way she always did. "What's wrong?"
Issei pursed his lips, before speaking his breath visible in the freezing cold weather the Underworld current was in. "The war."
Serafall frowned, her beautiful lips turning into an upside "U". "I see...you know that for all we know that this peace can last for another thousand years?"
Issei shook his head. "I doubt it. Besides, we'll live to past a thousand. In fact...the total age known for the longest Devil is never known. Zekram Bael...the first head of the Bael house is still alive today, at the age of 13,476. And he still shows no sign of aging besides his long beard. I doubt that he'll be killed any time soon, since the most powerful Devils seem to be the oldest ones."
Serafall pursed her lips this time. "I just...don't want to have the thought of war...it will be full of death. Despair. Blood..."
Issei sighed as he hugged her comfortably. "Don't worry...as long as I am alive, I won't let you die. I promise."
Issei walked through the halls of the Sitri manor as soon as he showered.
Five years ago, he wouldn't have been welcomed, and instead, be quickly kicked outside. Five years ago, Serafall's mother, Serana, and Serafall's father, Zegrana, would've immediately hid Serafall away from Issei's sight.
However, due to Serafall convincing the House of Sitri that Issei was really just a young handsome man that respected woman, not the old man that molested woman that the House of Gremory said (besides Venelana of course). Due to this, it took a single date for Serana to believe that Issei was a good man to leave Serafall with, but Zegrana took a bit longer to convince. It took Issei a whole day to beat Zegrana into submission to prevent his fatherly love to kick in.
Zegrana put up a good fight. Turns out, fatherly love makes one at the same power as someone powerful.
"Good morning Issei." Zegrana sat down across from Issei.
Oh yeah, did I mention Serana and Zegrana's physique?
Serana Sitri was a flat-chested woman that was the mother of Serafall. Unlike her daughter, she was tall with sky-blue hair, her violet eyes that seemed to stare into your soul. She wore the clothing of a noble, a pink yukata. Zegrana was the complete opposite of Serana Sitri. She was tall, he was short. She was thin, he was chubby. She had sky-blue hair, almost close to white, while he had midnight black hair. She had violet eyes, while he had light blue.
Issei nodded at Zegrana. "Good morning. Did you have a nice sleep?"
Zegrana nodded. "Yeah."
Zegrana than said thoughtfully. "I wonder...how exactly do you and Serafall train so much? Even if you do, how do you guys get so strong? It takes centuries for an average Devil to reach the level of power you and the other Anti-Maou Faction leaders are currently at. How exactly are you guys so strong? You might be the strongest generation of all time. I doubt that any generation in the past or future will ever gain as strong as you guys."
Issei frowned. "I guess we aren't your average Devils."
He stood. "Did the Underworld have any wars besides the Great War?"
Zegrana looked at Issei questionably. "Is there any reason why you are asking me this?"
"Just answer the question."
"No...there was not. At least, not that I know of."
"And there you have your answer."
Zegrana looked at him confused.
"The Great War was a wake up call to all youth Devils. It was well aware that the Devils lost the Great War due to their disadvantage to the Angels, both Holy and Fallen. One of the main reason, are Devil's weakness to light weapons. The second reason, are Devil's arrogance. Even you can't deny that. Many Devils died because they did not use their full power. Because they got too cocky."
Zegrana nodded in agreement. "That I agree with. I was one of the ones that were cocky...good thing that I was able to snap out of that arrogance I once had. It saved my life when I decided to finally use my full power."
Issei narrowed his eyes. "Full power as in that full power, or full power as in using everything you could without releasing that."
Zegrana tensed. "Full power without using that. What's with the sudden tenseness?"
Issei shook his head. "Nothing."
Issei felt a slight throb in his head. His left eye started to burn, but he refused to show it.
He blinked, suddenly feeling lightheaded.
"I'll go train now."
As he walked down the long hallways of the Sitri Manor, he almost stumbled.
"Good morning Lord Issei."
A maid bowed down to him, and Issei looked at her. "What did I say calling me that?"
The maid bowed her head in apology. "I apologize Issei."
"I am no Lord." Issei walked past her. "I hope you have a good day."
His head throbbed once again before he shook his head. Why did he suddenly feel lightheaded?
He caught himself on the wall, feeling dizzy.
"I'll just train to get my head cleared." He muttered to himself.
As he stepped inside the training grounds, a large courtyard outside of the Sitri Manor, barren and free of any kind of nature. Just a large flat plain full of dead grass and sand.
He whispered a single word, and flames the color of brilliant blue burst from his hand. Flames started to spread around him as his silver eyes turned into slits, not like he noticed. His ears grew a bit like an elf's, the tips pointed and long. His skin turned from the milk-chocolate color to pale, the color of fresh snow.
He stretched out his hand and the flames around him transformed into a sword made of living flames. The blade grew thicker and wider, turning into a European longsword about 45 inches long. It was double-edged, the guard shaped like a cross.
Issei stretched his arm out and started to swing, his eyes narrowing at an imaginary opponent.
A person stepped outside, but he did not notice, too enveloped in his training.
Issei dashed forward, his blade slicing through the air at an invisible opponent. Issei quickly twisted his body, the momentum of the sword making him flip over, his legs kicking forward while jumping. He landed in a crouch, another sword already forming in his hands, leaving him with two swords made of living flames in his hands.
He dashed forward, only for his "opponent" to swing forward, making him stop and arch his back backwards, the "blade" missing him by a mere inch. He did a backflip, his legs "hitting" his "opponent." The moment his feet touched the ground, he dashed forward, his swords flying forward. His right one went diagonal, a slash across the torso. When the sword "missed" his "opponent", the left one went forward into a quick jab.
However, his "opponent" parried the sword, Issei's left sword flying to the left, leaving him with only his right one. His "opponent" swung forward, taking advantage of Issei's right sword being left to his side as it was still going from the follow-through Issei did to increase momentum. Issei formed yet another sword, this sword swinging forward to knock aside his "opponent's" sword. The sword was successfully knocked away, only for his "opponent" to jump backwards, dodging Issei's jab with his right sword.
Issei took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, taking a full five seconds to get all of the air out of his lungs through his mouth, before he inhaled once again.
He dashed forward once again, this time his sword swinging in a motion, in a pattern.
Issei whispered two words.
"Starburst Stream"
It was like a game where you can activate skills. Issei moved as if something else was controlling him the outside. His right sword swung horizontally, from left to right. Issei then did a uppercut with the left sword, the momentum making him spin around in a full circle. He then slashed horizontally with both swords at once, once again spinning a full circle. He did another spin, his swords once again swinging at once. He then slashed downwards in an "X", before doing an "X" upwards.
His swords then flew into another position, his left sword going to a diagonal slash, down-left and his right sword going up-right at the same time. He then spun around, losing sight of his "opponent", letting go of his swords, before grabbing onto them into a reverse grip. He then did a reverse grip downwards "X" with both swords, before corkscrewing and shifted his grip on the swords once again.
He slashed downwards "X", before an upwards "X". He then did a diagonal top-right to bottom-left slash with right sword, spinning in a full circle. Power rippled out of the swords, leaving behind blue slashes in the air where they once were. His left sword flew horizontally from right to left, before doing an uppercut with the right, and then the left. He then did a downward vertical slash with the right one, before a downward diagonal with the left, spinning in another circle. He did yet another downward diagonal slash with the left, before thrusting forward with the right, and then lunging with the left.
He stopped, his sword in the "body" of his "opponent", panting. He lowered the swords, as he sighed, his breath hinging.
He had a breathe of awe, and he turned surprised.
His swords almost swung to decapitate whoever dared intruded on his training time, before he stopped himself, seeing that it was just Serafall.
He coughed, his body shaking violently.
He didn't know why, but he felt as if the cough was not from exhaustion. But rather...
"Serafall." He greeted. "How was your morning?"
She pouted. "You weren't in the bath with me, so not as enjoyable as it could've been."
Issei shrugged and scratched the back of his neck. "Well...I need to train." His voice grew hoarse at the end of his sentence, though he didn't know why.
'First my head throbs, then I feel lightheaded, and then something is wrong with my voice? What is happening here?' Issei thought.
Serafall sighed. "I guess..."
Issei walked toward her, before stumbling, the world spinning around him.
"Is the world supposed to be spinning?" He asked stupidly, before collapsing.
The last thing he heard before blacking out was Serafall's cry of alarm, before her footsteps.
Issei awoke to a cool towel on his forehead. He shifted his eyes and saw a worried Serafall.
"How long was I out?"
"An hour or so..." she looked at him strangely. "I thought that Devils couldn't get human sicknesses?"
"They can't...?" Issei looked at her. "Wait...what do you mean by that?"
"Because...your forehead was burning hot. And by hot, I mean worse than your flames when you really use them." Serafall looked at him worriedly. "Which makes me think...are you a Devil...or a hybrid of some sort?"
Issei nearly snapped his teeth at her like an animal, before shaking his head. "I honestly don't know..."
He sighed as he relaxed his body. "Wake me up when you need me...I'm going to rest until I feel better." He relaxed his head against the soft pillow.
Serafall sighed as he instantly fell asleep.
"What am I ever going to do with you?"
She sighed again. "Guess I'll just go ahead and just buy some medicine...which makes me wonder...why is there medicine in the Underworld? Devils can't get sick..."
Little did she know, that she hit close to the mark that she somehow missed with that smart brain of hers.
Which makes me wonder...do you know what exactly is missing from this faithful day? What exactly...is wrong?
Anyway...back to Serafall, who was currently walking down the streets of the city of Auros, an agricultural town known for its best agricultural products, which means the best medicine herbs, and whatever else that grew that was useful to Devils.
She quickly bought the herbs that were needed to reduce one's body temperature (to cool down Issei's currently burning body), before she quickly bumped into someone.
When she took a glance at her, she was instantly captivated by her beauty.
Long silver hair that was tied into a high pony-tail, her pale skin. Her silver eyes seemed to look at your soul. Her lips were a blood-red, which gave her the look of a noblewoman that used makeup to improve her looks. She had modest breasts, a normal sized C-cup. Her bust size was a size that fit her petite body, not too overly large, or too small. She wore a cloak that covered up her body, but through the small opening in the front of the cloak, you can see her long silver dress.
"S-sorry." Serafall muttered, before she quickly helped the woman she just bumped into up.
"It's alright."
'God *OW*, even her voice is beautiful. What is a woman like this doing here?' Serafall thought enviously.
"Um...excuse me, do you know the directions to this place?" The woman asked.
Serafall looked at the map she brought. It was marked with the typical red X on the spot.
'X marks the spot.'
"Ah yes, it is just over to the right about 2 blocks from here. Just go straight down this street." Serafall directed.
"Ah thank you..." She gestured at Serafall for her name.
"Serafall Sitri."
At first, an unexplainable expression passed over her eyes, before it quickly changed to back to stoic. She gave Serafall a soft smile. "Thank you. I am Annabel Lee."
"Annabel Lee...I don't recognize it." Serafall pondered while looking down.
"Of course you don't. It is just a fake name I use on the streets. Giving away my real name is a risk."
"Huh?" She looked back up. Only to see "Annabel Lee" gone.
"Huh, strange. Which reminds me...that restaurant she asked for...isn't it the same as the one Issei and I went to...if I remember correctly, there was a pretty brunette named Dani Thompson there...huh." She looked around her. "I guess I would have to watch out for you...'Annabel'."
And boom. Chapter done. Hope you all enjoyed! Sorry for the shortness of the chapter, so I decided to do a long Omake. To make up for that 1.8k words I didn't put into the actual chapter (the Omake only makes the word count from ~5.2k to ~6k)
So yeah. Remember to give me encouragement by giving me reviews, favorites, or follows! Reviews can either be constructive criticism or encouragement! Thanks for reading.
Don't forget to put in whether you want the title to be "Exiled Demon of Gremory" or "A Demon's Reality" in your review at the end! Also...Edgar Allan Poe anyone?
P.S. Thanks for the attention! I will now list all 100 followers as a thanks for helping me achieve my dream to reach 100 followers! My next goal is 200!

A "Simple" Test
"Are you ready for the test Issei?" Serafall asked.
"Test? What test?" Issei asked the raven-haired woman confused.
Serafall looked at him, exasperated. "You mean you forgot to study for the Devil finals?"
Issei widened his eyes. "W-wait what? The finals are today?! I thought it was next month!"
Serafall sighed as she slapped her hand against her face. "You have to be kidding me Issei. This is the test that makes you an official member of Devil society! Or else you are going to have to wait another three years before taking it again!"
Issei quickly said. "Quick! Let me stud-"
Only for the teacher to walk in. "Excuse me, but the test will be starting within five minutes. Within those five minutes please relax your body and clear your mind. A clear head and a relaxed body is needed to pass this test."
Everyone took their seats, with Issei about three seats behind, and two seats to the right of Serafall.
He impatiently tapped his foot through the five minutes, as he knew that he couldn't study, or else his mind will become clouded with the Underworld's history. And he won't be able to think correctly.
"Time is up. I will now be handing out the test sheets."
Issei got his sheet as he looked down.
His face went to shock, as he stared down at it. Before looking up, before looking back down. Mutters were sent around, as they were all confused.
"If you think that this test was printed wrong, this is the test that has been given for the last century. The reason for this is because people only memorize the answer on their study guide. They don't actually know the stuff they answered."
Issei looked at the first question.
"Who are the Seven Princes of Hell?"
Issei quickly answered it, writing Satan, Lucifer, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor
Issei quickly went to the second problem.
"What power does the House of Bael control?"
Power of Destruction
"Name ten of the 72 Pillars."
Gremory, Sitri, Bael, Astaroth, Valefor, Dantalion, Phenex, Belial, Bune, and Zagan
Issei breezed right through them.
'To think that this test is this easy...'
About Three Hours Later
Issei relaxed as Serafall sat down next to him on the bench.
"You know, I'm glad I didn't study." Issei chuckled. "That test was so easy, that if I had studied, I probably would've gotten all of them wrong."
Serafall pouted at him. "I was so confused on the questions! I didn't know a couple of them."
"Really?" Issei asked "I thought they were relatively easy."
"May I have your attention please?" The teacher spoke up. "I have your scores in."
Mutters around, and questions about how they think they did.
"First place in this test...is Issei Gremory!"
Eyes were widened as they looked at the outcast of Gremory.
His eyes showed surprise.
"Second place...is Ruval Phenex!"
The proud son of the House of Phenex stepped up after him.
"And finally...last is Diehauser Belial!"
The heir of the House of Belial stepped up.
"Everyone give these people an applause for getting perfects!"
