Chapter 2: A Whole New World

I open my to a blinding sun, which takes me a moment to get use to. I wasn't disappointed to see lush green hills and valleys lay in the center lake. Castle Mikado, the home of the samurai.

I can feel the cool breeze blowing passed me. 'Damn, it seems the Angel's truly did help bring earth to it's former glory!' I stand and begin to walk towards the beautiful sight ahead.

I turn back to where I woke up and find what I was looking forward to the most. It was a long tightly wrapped sword, but it's not just a regular sword. I untie the cloth and see in all of its glory, Yamato. The legendary demon slaying sword, the Dimension cutter, the blade that is said to cut space itself and it belongs to me! Still awestruck I continue to look at the design. The white handle, the golden guard and the black scabbard.

Holding the blade felt so natural in my hand. I tie it to my belt, I look down and see I'm in raggedy clothes.

'god I can wait to arrive to Tokyo and get some clothes! I hope to get one of those samurai outfits! They're pretty killer!' I think to myself. Making my way to the kingdom below. Although it's up to fate or Kane if I get to be samurai. Who knows until I try, but if it doesn't work I have a backup plan just in case.

I spot lake Mikado and start walking a little faster. I need to get a good look at my self before I arrive to the kingdom and take a good long look at my new self.

"Well damn, I look almost like Devil May Cry 4 Vergil! I mean I did ask for his inheritance but not become him. Oh well, at least his build suits me nicely. Seems like his flicked back hair is his natural hair style, not just constant demon blood" I mutter to myself, still admiring at my reflection in the lake water.

From what I can see I'm 6'5, a build similar to a runner with a bit more upper muscle, I have (of course) the white hair; the main character trait of their family. I guess it's my family now too. The only difference is the slight glowing golden eyes, besides that I'm a splitting image of the twins.

Now my main concern is why am still so calm about this? I should be way more excited about everything happening. Sure I've shown some excitement. A little more when I acquired Yamato, but it was my dream to wield this sword. I get that Vergil was always very collected even when he was young. However, shouldn't it be normal to be excited? I mean, look at Dante. He's amazing, but without the joy and excitement, I'm a little worried.

At this very second all that matter's is what I have to establish, when I am and make sure not to interfere with Flynn. The white will destroy me as I am currently. I'm not powerful enough to handle them. I have to go to Mikado and check out if the gauntlet rite is happening soon. That event will change everything for the good or bad. Yes, I know I'm probably making the white more dangerous then probably necessary, but I'm an outsider. Not part of God's plan. So I'm not in his protection, the white can still affect me. I don't somehow die and don't ruin anything. While making sure that Flynn chooses his choices wisely, to me it doesn't really matter.

I try to clear my head with a drink from the lake and start walking towards the kingdom.

I arrive at the Casualry district's. On my way here, I checked my pockets to make sure if I have anything else on me. I have some Macca on me, at least 2,000. Which should last me awhile since I can drink form the lake. I just have buy food, my healing factor helps with everything else.

'Oh! I forgot! thanks to my relation to Sparda I gain a healing factor superhuman speed, strength, endurance, agility, and stamina. This should boost me to be two times stronger then any human. It also helps I'm a half breed. that we have near unlimited potential.' I'll have to make sure to check that out for myself in case later on. I don't want any surprises, but back to my healing factor. That will help with any poison or disease I gain since it can detox me. Since the twins can be stabbed by their own swords and anything worse.

I continue looking around for food, thinking about my skills. They seem he just gave me enough to survive my swordsmanship. Which is okay, but with every practice I try to manipulate my energy. I have to say it's hard as hell not having anything similar before. Being sent here is hard to get a grasp on. It all but feels like when Kane granted me championship. A warm sensation, not like the burning before. This feels more colder but enough to warm me. That should be contributed to my human side, I try to sense it when I was experimenting.

I managed to summon one of the summoned swords, but it broke almost immediately after I lost focus. I was surprised that I actually summoned one and haven't been able to summon one since then. it's kinda infuriating but that's fine. It takes practice like they; say Rome wasn't build in a day.

I arrived at the bakery, the closest and most know to me. No one didn't explain much when I asked. Only showing off the kingdom. After standing a minute, I considering my choices more before I heading inside.

"Hello, welcome to my bakery what can I get for you today? young man." The baker said.

"Yes, hello. I would like around 6 loafs of bread. If you don't mind." I say with a smile. I don't want to be around here especially since The baker will get a black book later. I just don't want any association with him.

"Certainly Young man, one moment!" As he turns away my smile quickly disappears. He leaves to gather the bread, after a few minutes he returns. "Here you go sunny! that'll be 90 Macca." I give him the appropriate amount and leave.

While walking around I eat and think about how I will be able to practice on controlling my new powers. We'll know when I fight, but I'm slowly getting a grasp on controlling them. My strength is still a problem, but I'm able to suppress it good enough. I should be careful when training. I'm able to cut the ground like butter and only draw Yamato when in combat or training alone. I don't wanna kill any innocent.

'hmmm this is some good bread! If I wasn't so paranoid I might go there more often, but I don't want to get on Yuriko's radar. She might want to control me or make me become Lucifer's vessel. I'm not sure about that, but I won't take any risks. I start looking for some samurai. After some time walking the Casualry district's, I finally found one. I walk up to him.

"Hello good sir, If I may I have a few questions to ask. If you don't mind?" I say with a kind smile.

The samurai responds with a smile of his own, "Sure thing, what do you need to know young man?"

"Well you see sir, I just wanted to know when's the next gauntlet rite? I have lived very far away from here. So my knowledge of this place is very little." I say sheepishly, with a look of a slight surprise he respond with a hearty laugh.

"Its fine my good man, The gauntlet rite is to start in a few days. I hope to see you in our ranks young man. You look to have a good heart. Anymore questions young man?" He says with a more friendly smile. I give my own smile.

"No sir, thank you sir, I too hope to become a samurai! Good day." I bow quickly and take my leave. If I didn't know any better I would think all that was genuine. By the looks of it some that was fake. The only thing that wasn't fake the reaction to my lack of knowledge. His answer was also true, but the rest are fake.

The life of a samurai is not glamorous, it's almost like suicide. Every fight you partake in is like dancing with the devil himself. If you're not special or have enough potential, you're to be eaten up and die. Basically trapped in Aquila plaza to be either sent out on a mission and depending on the mission might be simple or a demon related one. Survive, die or go into Naraku and possibly get lucky. Recruit some actually worth while demons and possibly die another day. Nothing is never good until the angels come. Even then it can get worse, I'm not completely sure if this is my reality now. Very few things are set in stone anyway.

I start walking out of town after I gather more supplies; like a bedroll and a backpack adding up a total of 200 Macca. An extra 60 for some cleaning stuff for Yamato just in case. A sewing kit for my current clothes and my outfit. If I do become a samurai, it's highly likely considering Kane. He seems like the type to change a few things to bring more entertainment. Kane is my greatest asset and greatest challenge. I better start working on my quick slashes if I wanna be able to use rapid slash. The key to my favorite move Judgement Cut.

I just spent the last few days purely training. I've tested my current limits with the right preparations. I can cut through iron with no problem, for steel it takes a lot but I'm near perfectly cutting in one slash. I've been watching out for the rite and there's a lot of people coming now. I kinda forgot about that part. It is a well known event and popular but its a good thing I'm camping near the area for Flynn and Issachar. I'm a fair way, so they won't see me when they arrive. I'm still far enough where I can see good enough.

I was finally able to pull a summoned sword through, just one and it takes all my focus and a lot of energy. If I had to put in numbers. I would have 100 magic points and it feels like it takes up 70% to summon and 10% every second to keep the swords formed. Everything is worth it though. I launched a sword and it made a huge fucking small crater and I'm almost able to summon my energy out of my body. I'm still struggling, plus I'm down to 1,450 Macca. Those plates were expensive but I'm still good for a bit longer. Anyway it's getting late and I'll need my sleep since I heard tomorrow is the rite. I'm ready as I'll ever be.
