Midnight Sun

Chapter 2

Luna

A bearded man with a single eye glanced upwards.

"Is there something wrong Lord Odin?"

Odin answered after a few moments of silence. "Something from the outside has arrived."

The Valkyrie tilted her head questionably. "I'm afraid I don't follow Sir."

The old man laughed grimly. "Something doesn't belong here."

The Valkyrie became even more confused.

"What?"

"I don't know either."

The Norse God shook his head. "Don't worry about it. I will investigate it myself after Loki gets back."

The [King of Asgard] Odin stepped back into his throne. "I just hope the appearance of this outsider will not tip the balance of this world..."

"Hey, what is that?"

A light silver haired teenager with hazel eyes glanced up, almost as if he can see through the roof of the building he was in.

A man seemingly in his twenties with black hair with golden bangs and violet eyes was looking in the same direction that the younger male was looking at.

"Interesting...something from the outside is coming in."

"Oh?" The younger male gained a smirk. "Something from the outside? As in a different world?"

The older one only shrugged. "I don't know myself. The thing beyond that Crack is something not even I can describe in my entire life time. It's something full of...horror. It's full of chaos to say the least."

The younger man's face slowly split into a huge grin.

"How powerful are they?"

"I'm not too sure...but if I were to guess, they would be on par with the lowest of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in this world." The older man noticed the younger one's smirk and the blood thirsty glint in his eyes. "I would not suggest fighting them at all. If you do, I doubt even us Grigori leaders will be able to defeat them together, so you'll be left to fend on your own Vali."

Vali gave a chuckle. "Don't you worry about me Azazel. I know how to take care of myself."

Azazel sighed. "Take care of him, Albion. Make sure he doesn't do anything reckless."

The [Dragon of Entropy] Albion gave a grunt in response to Azazel from somewhere within Vali.

[Watcher of God's Children] Azazel nodded in response. "You heard that Vali? Albion is going to interfere when he feels as if it becomes a life-and-death situation that'll end in your death."

Vali rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say Azazel. Whatever you say."

Wings of brilliance spread out behind him, as each feather had its own individual colors that shifted, no color the same as the previous.

"I'll be going out now."

A handsome middle aged man with long blonde hair and green eyes opened his eyes softly. He gazed through the Gates of Heaven, and sighed.

"Brother, what is that?"

An extremely beautiful blonde curly haired woman with the exact same green eyes and a voluptuous figure pointed through the Gates of Heaven, at exactly what he was looking at.

"I do not know Sister."

She stepped over to him, and hugged his arm gently. The man saw how she was shaking, and wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back to comfort her.

"The horror inside of it...that pure and utter chaos that is inside. What could have happened for such rage to be in such a world?"

"I know nothing of what is beyond that Gate. I do not wish to know of it either. I wish for that thing to never spread any further."

"O Michael, Brother." She cried.

"Gabriel, there is no need to cry for their sorrow and rage. We are our own. They are undeserving of God's love."

[Angel of Love] Gabriel wept for the world beyond the rift.

[Seraph of Delusion] Michael showed nothing for the world that was not apart of theirs.

Issei stared at the woman who looked back at him.

She slowly stood up, her chest moving with every motion she made. Issei's eyes flickered down, as his cheeks quickly flushed at how emphasized they were by her choice of clothing. He attempted to refocus onto her eyes.

"I ask again, are you the one who saved me?"

Her voice was soft, yet it caused the hairs on his arms to stand. Her voice sounded like a woman's when full of love, yet was filled with such rage and harshness that caused him to flinch.

"Yes." Issei gulped down, as he finally answered. "I saved you from the-"

When he tried to think of what he just saw minutes ago, his head started to ache. He pressed his hand against his temple, and tried to block out the pain, but was unable to.

"I see." The woman in front of him nodded in understanding after looking at his reaction.

The pain slowly faded from his head.

"Who are you?" He decided to ask as they stood for a few more moments of silence, just looking at each other.

"My name is Luna. And yours?"

"Issei. Hyoudou Issei."

She pressed her finger to her chin. "Two names? That is strange."

He blinked in confusion. "Pardon?"

"The only one I know with two names is those with absolute authority within Orbis is the [Heir of the Covenant] Ras Elclare. Are you one of them?"

Issei continued to look at her in confusion.

"I apologize. I did not mean to continue talking nonsense to my savior." She bowed to him, which practically gave him view of the entirely of her breasts.

He spluttered, and turned flustered as he struggled to look away from the very things that perhaps lured many men into her. "It was nothing! Please get back up."

When she rose, her eyes gazed into his. "Where am I...Hyoudou?"

"Just Issei is fine. And I don't know either."

"What do you mean? Don't you live here?"

An imaginary light bulb lit up above his head. "We are currently in Japan."

"Japan...? Where is that from Ritania?"

Confusion built up between the two. "Ritania? What is that?"

"What? Ritania is the land of Queen Diene and Prince Aither. How do you not know of them?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about!"

She paused. "Do you know of a place called Wintenburg? It is the place where Queen Cecilia currently rules alongside her Dragon Knights."

"What? Dragons? Are you sure you are okay? Did the fall mess up your-" He faltered when she glared at him. In the second she glared at him, he felt as if he just sank into the deepest hole made by man. He wanted to cower, to hide from the beast that was in front of him.

"I would know what my own race is." She clutched the dark horn that was atop of her head. Her glare changed into a look of sorrow.

"You...are a Dragon?"

"Yes. My name is Luna, and I am a half-Dragon and hail from Wintenburg in Queen Cecilia's Dragon Knights." She reintroduced herself.

Issei clutched his head, as a barrage of images hit him.

He was only able to make out two in the flurry of color that he saw in that split second. One was of a large red western Dragon with a long neck and green eyes fighting against a large white eastern dragon with yellow eyes.

The second, was of a pair of wings that would flash in many different colors, no color the same as the previous.

He staggered, and Luna moved forward to help him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm fine." Issei felt bile slowly rising, but he pushed it down.

"Let us figure out this mystery later. We must get to somewhere safe. We are in an area that is too open. We will be defenseless in our current state. Our enemies will be able to target us."

"What?" Issei yelped as she moved quickly despite almost drowning and flattening against the concrete no more than ten minutes ago. "Our enemies?"

"Yes." She ignored her wet clothing, and moved to the boardwalk. "We must hurry. Every second we spend here is an extra second for them to catch up."

Issei followed her without questioning. After all, she had showed her gratitude, and now she was thinking that she was saving both of them. She would not harm her own life in the process of attempting to take his.

They went quietly, but quickly. Despite seeing no one else in the area, they continued to attempt to remain hidden.

"Where do you live?"

He froze, before muttering. "I'll show you. We just need to head to a place I know."

He glanced at her choice of clothing. "Is there anything you can use to not seem as suspicious?"

"I have no other clothing. This is what I've worn my entire life."

Issei sighed, before saying. "Follow me. We need to find some clothes."

"This is very restricting."

She tugged on the shirt she had on. The shirt was stretched across the chest, almost threatening to rip apart. It was a blue tee with the name of the beach they were just at on it, along with a pair of very short shorts that showed off her legs. It was the only thing available. She had on Issei's jacket over because he wished for her to not be revealing too much. It did not do much for her legs, but she had the comfort of something covering her arms.

"You'll be able to get out of it eventually. We just need to not raise attention."

"Am I not already?"

They were in the busy street, and she had attracted a lot of attention, specifically from the males. They glared at him, before went back to watching her mesmerizing movements as she walked with a natural sway and elegance. Issei's jacket covered to just below her butt. Issei would've worn one without a zipper had he known that he would've had to give it up.

He didn't wish for her to be revealing too much. She merely threatened him with her glare.

"This is a different type of attention." He remarked as he pushed the button to cross the street.

"It's natural for me to receive this kind of attention from Wintenburg. Everywhere, they would watch me. Look at my movements."

I would beg for them to look at me

He glanced at her with wide eyes.

"I am my own person. If I would tell them to look at me, they will. If I tell them to strip for me, they will. For I was the legendary Dragon of Wintenburg."

"...let's just go." He said quietly, attempting to forget what she had just said.

They walked in awkward silence.

"I feel something." She held up a hand.

"Quickly, we need to get away from the ordinary people." He grabbed her hand, and started to walk faster.

They quickly shuffled into an alleyway, and hid.

"Come out. I know you are in there Outsider."

"Stay here." She said to him. She walked out casually, and faced the speaker. "Who are you?"

"I am a natural resident of this world unlike you. My name is Shalba Beelzebub, one of the descendants of one of the original Demon Lords, the [Sin of Gluttony] Beelzebub!"

"My name is Luna. I hail from Wintenburg as a Dragon Knight under the Queen Cecilia."

"I do not care for the name of an Outsider, especially one that came from that. I am here to merely exterminate you from this world."

Buzzing. It was so loud, it was as if a swarm of bees had suddenly gathered at once, all wanting a single target. He peeked over, and suppressed a gasp. There were a large swarm of bees in front of the man opposing Luna. Due to the unnatural size of the hive, he was unable to identify the man's appearance.

"I'm afraid that cannot happen. A Dragon Knight cannot be taken down by merely insects."

A blinding blue light, and a spear appeared next to her. Issei's eyes widened as he tried to make sense of what is happening.

"Go, my insects!"

Luna dashed forward, and Shalba swung his hand out. Luna stabbed with her spear, a piercing light leaving the tip. It instantly vaporized the swarm of bees that flew at her, and Shalba was forced to move.

"You dare kill my bees?!"

He growled as she remained silent, her spear moving swiftly cutting through the bees with every swing she did. Flashes of power rippled through the air, as every one of the half-Dragon's swings held a purpose. She deflected every one of Shalba's bees.

"If that isn't going to work...then this will."

He sent out one last surge of bees, causing her to swing her spear in a circle, forming a shield through how quick her spear was slicing through the air. It should've been impossible with a spear as large as hers, but she made it look effortless.

When she refocused onto the descendant of Gluttony, he had multiple magic seals lined up behind him. He pointed at her, and made the motion of shooting a gun.

Beams of power shot out of every single one of the seal, each one making Issei shake as he glanced at the different colors all being used to attack the Dragon he had saved not too long ago.

She grunted as she weaved between each beam. She ducked, jumped, and moved every direction to avoid being hit by the enormous power the magician in front of her was using.

She deflected a beam of light that was about to pierce through her head with the flat of her spear head, before continuing to evade with breath-taking agility. Her amber eyes continued to scan the-

They were no longer in an alleyway. All of a sudden, they were in the middle of a rocky field, with Issei still under cover behind a rock, which used to be a dumpster. The sky of the field was a blur of colors rather than blue sky.

Issei did not know when they had changed locations, but he himself had only taken notice recently, and he didn't know if Luna herself knew, or if she was just trying to survive.

He saw her concentration wane for a single second.

And that was all it took for Shalba to close the gap between his immense power and her otherworldly agility.

A beam of light green went straight through her right leg, causing her to stumble, and crash into the ground when she attempted to dash again.

"I got you."

She clutched her leg in pain, as she stared up at him.

Her amber eyes stared into his, and he merely lifted his finger. "This is where you fall Outsider."

A single magic seal appeared at the tip of his finger. "I will not permit you to have any last words. May you be sent back to where you came from."

A loud sound of shattering glass caused all three of them to look up.

A white blur slammed into Shalba, dragging him up into the sky. The blur continued to move, dragging Shalba across the grassland, causing him to screech in outrage when they took to the skies once more.

The blur stopped, letting go of Shalba before kicking the magician to hard, Issei was able to see the wind itself being cut apart by the force of the kick.

"Vali..." Shalba croaked.

The white armor tilted its head downwards at Shalba. Its wings flashed with never-ending colors, as its yellow eyes stared down at the magician it had just kicked into the ground. The blue orbs glowed different shades of blue, as power continued to course out of it.

"Be quiet."

Shalba got out of the crater that was formed from his fall. Issei widened his eyes, not believing he had managed to survive the force of such an attack from the armored being Shalba had called Vali.

"Why have you come? Did that damn Azazel send you?"

"No. I only came to battle that thing." It glanced at Luna, before looking back at Shalba. "Turns out you already weakened it. This will be no fun if it isn't at full power."

"I am an Outsider to this world, but a Dragon Knight should be addressed by their name. My name is Luna."

He was somehow able to "see" the white armor raise its eyebrow. "A Dragon Knight huh...interesting."

"Do not ignore me [Dragon of Entropy]!"

"You talk too much for a loser." Vali threw out his arm, and a magic seal appeared at the end of his hand. A burst of magic was sent straight to Shalba, who attempted to block it, but was his barrier shattered the moment the small ball touched it.

Shalba cried in pain, while Vali slowly descended, looking similar to a god.

"Leave Devil. You lost."

The Devil growled, as he slowly picked himself up. His black armor was cracked, and his chestnut hair was burnt, but his eyes were full of hatred and anger.

A green magic seal appeared under him, as he disappeared in a flash of green light.

The moment Shalba left, the rest of the cracked sky shattered, and the never ending colors faded into a normal blue sky. The rocky grassland remained however.

The armor tilted its head toward Issei, making him flinch. "You can come out now."

Issei walked out from behind his cover with shaky legs. Vali's head tilted downwards than back up. "You certainly are interesting...what is your name?"

"Issei. Issei Hyoudou." His voice came out shaky and hoarse.

"I see. You were the one who saved this Dragon from the...gate to the other world did you not?"

"Gate...? I think so?"

Vali looked back down at Luna. He descended completely, as his armored boots touched the grass. He held his hand against the wound in the half-Dragon's leg. "Please hold still. I would hate for a potential future rival to get crippled."

She watched him, as his hand began to glow a light silver. The wound on her leg slowly closed, taking a minute at most.

He straightened himself, and said, "I will teleport you two back to where you two were before Shalba attacked. I wish you best of luck Hyoudou and Luna. Beings other than me and Shalba will soon come to you due to your unique presence as well as your status in this world. Such is the misfortune of being transported into a different world."

"Thank you..." She let out a breath.

"Do not thank me. I still wish to defeat you and kill you. But I cannot do that when you are not at full strength. I wish to have a fight I enjoy, not one where I can win with little care, like against that excuse of a Devil." His yellow eyes continued to watch Luna for a few moments, before turning away.

"I will leave you two now." He pointed his finger under them, and the a magic circle similar to Shalba's appeared below them, except it was silver in color, rather than a light green.

In a single second, they were back in the alleyway.

Immediately, Issei collapsed on his knees. "I'm sorry Luna. I couldn't help you at all."

The white-haired Dragon shook her head. "You do not wish to reveal yourself to the world, while I am already known in a mere moment. I too sacrificed my comrades due to my importance to Wintenburg, so I am able to understand your wishes to remain hidden."

"What...? I'm not like you. I'm not like that Vali guy or the Shalba magician. I don't know anything that is going on! I literally just watched you three fight, and I have no clue what is going on!"

She blinked in confusion. "I can sense power within you...do you not know how to use it against these beings?"

"I...am just a normal human."

She frowned, and did not press further. "Lead me to your home Issei."

It took at least an hour for Issei to arrive home.

"Grayfia?"

There was no answer and Issei frowned.

"Is there someone you were expecting?"

Issei sighed and nodded. "Yeah. She's my caretaker...or mother. She should be home right now, but I don't know why she isn't."

"Maybe she is just buying food?" She suggested.

"Yeah." Issei nodded in agreement. "It's still early, so she should be coming home from the store."

Luna waltzed up the stairs, with Issei trailing behind.

"My room is on the right."

She opened the door, and stepped in without hesitation.

She stopped when she saw all the posters plastered on his wall. Issei's lips twitched as they formed an awkward smile. "So yeah. This is my room...I hope you don't feel too uncomfortable."

"This is interesting. Are you into this many women?" Luna was seemingly unaffected by the erotic material. She pointed at a specific poster, which showed a woman's arse while she was on her knees. She was on all fours as she looked back at the camera, giving a seductive smile. "And is this the kind of pose you like?"

"Uh no." Issei said awkwardly. "I just liked to look at them."

"How did you even manage to get such high quality paintings of them? Did you ask them to pose for you while you did the sketch? While this is an erotic painting, this is still very impressive skill."

Issei blinked. "Do you not have cameras where you came from?"

"Cameras?" She blinked bewilderingly. "What is that?"

"Its a device that lets you instantly save an image with the press of a button." He explained. "However, the camera has to be pointed at the thing you wish to save."

"Do you happen to have this camera with you?"

Issei nodded. He walked over to his desk, and opened the first drawer. He pulled out the Canon camera, and handed it to her.

"How does this work?" She fumbled with it, as she struggled to even turn it on.

"You press the button here." Their fingers touched, and Issei gained a light blush.

She let out a small gasp as the screen turned on. "A-amazing..."

Issei watched as she turned into a girl who knew nothing. She clicked the buttons in excitement. His face flushed a light pink as he continued to look at the beautiful matured warrior turn into a clueless young teenage girl who knew nothing of what she was being told. Not naive, just unknown to the world.

Before she switched back into the hardened warrior that she showed during her fight against Shalba.

"There is someone outside." Her amber eyes narrowed at the door. "I can sense her easily."

"Issei? Are you back?"

Issei patted her shoulder. "That's my caretaker, Grayfia."

Her eyes widened. "Two people with such power..."

"I'm sorry?" He asked, not quite following her words.

"No, it is nothing Issei. I am merely...overly cautious after the events from earlier." She shook her head. "Greet her, do not keep her waiting."

He looked at her confused, before nodding. "Will you not come with me?"

She sighed. "No. I would prefer not to continue to meet people. I do not know if they will be after me or not."

He slowly looked away from her. "If that is what you wish."

Issei closed the door, and he heard Luna lock the door behind him. He walked down the stairs quickly. "I'm here Grayfia!"

"Good." He saw her at the foot of the stairs, wearing her apron. Her silver eyes shone with concern. "I was wondering if you were home or not. You shouldn't be out at this time."

"It's only eight though."

"And you usually get home around six! You shouldn't be two hours late at all. You don't have club activities or work, so you shouldn't be out. You also don't hang out with friends on school days. I only allow you to hang out on weekends." She put her hands on her hips.

Issei waved his hand. "Yeah yeah. Whatever."

"Don't talk like that to me! Put away the groceries." She commanded as she pointed at the plentiful amount of bags by the door. "You should be glad that I didn't call you to help me bring them into the house."

He sighed as he knelt down. He took out the vegetables out of all the bags, before proceeding to put them into the refrigerator.

It took him at least ten minutes to get all of it in, before he called to her. "Grayfia, I'm done!"

She didn't answer.

Confused, he slowly stood up, before horror went through his body. He dashed up the stairs, and attempted to open the door, only for the handle to rattle. He knocked frantically.

"Come in." He heard Luna's response.

He went in, to see Grayfia and Luna standing with very little space between them.

"Uh...Grayfia. This isn't what it looks like."

The beautiful silver-eyed woman sighed. She put her hand against her forehead. "I should've known that eventually you'll bring a girl home."

He blinked in confusion.

"You misunderstand miss. I am merely a friend of Issei's. While I am bothered by all the posters in the room, he still is a good friend." She bowed to Grayfia. "I already attempted to explain to her Issei, but she still believes that I am your girlfriend."

"Y-yeah." He stuttered. "Luna is just a friend of mine. She just recently had some family problems, so I invited her over. I'm sorry for not asking in advance Grayfia."

She nodded slowly. "I will start on dinner." She pointed at Luna. "You should probably change."

She closed the door behind her as she left.

Luna turned to Issei. "I do not possess any clothing besides my armor. I will be depending on you to provide clothing."

Issei widened his eyes, blushing lightly when he realized that Luna will only be wearing his clothing.

He quickly picked out a white button down tee, along with a pair of black running shorts. "This is what I have that'll fit. My normal clothing won't fit because your figure is a lot bigger than mine."

She took it without commenting on the latter part of his statement.

She pulled her shirt up.

"W-wait!" Issei cried, covering his eyes. "Why would you do it in broad daylight?"

"It is not different from before is it not? Why should I care if you see my body? I am a warrior. My body is a means to fight, not a means to seduce."

Something clicked in his mind. She viewed of herself purely as this Dragon Knight, and not as the beautiful woman she was.

He knew it was up to him to change that.

Unknown to all three residents of the house, something deep within Issei stirred. It answered to call of the Outsider, and hungered for the power she held.

The next day, Issei walked to school. When he woke up, Luna was still sound asleep, so he left a note in his room, telling her that he would be at school until much later in the afternoon.

He hung out with his two friends, Matsuda and Motohama once again.

"Hey Issei! How've you been?"

"I've been good." He smiled. "How about you two?"

"Great!" The bald male exclaimed. "I finally unlocked a new path within that game you lent me."

Issei rose his eyebrow. "Oh? I thought I reached a hundred percent completion. Well, good job nonetheless."

He hit his fist against his chest and nodded in agreement. "After all, I strive to complete all 'games', unlocking every scenario possible, as well as path and girl! All girls are equally hot!"

Issei laughed alongside Motohama.

Motohama adjusted his glasses. "At least with these glasses, I can see all girl's measurements, making them even more hot! I can secretly compare which girls in the school have the best breasts!"

"Who is the girl with the best?"

Motohama put on a troubled face. "Well...to be honest, it is between two girls. The first is Rias Gremory. The second is Himejima Akeno."

Both Matsuda and Issei nodded at his words. Rias Gremory's breasts were mere centimeters smaller than Akeno's, and yet both of them were equally enticing. However, Issei now believed that Luna's breasts had a more sexual appeal than both of theirs.

Just a week ago, he believed that the two Great Ladies of Kuoh had the best breasts.

"Hey Issei...why are they walking towards us?"

Issei looked, and saw two people.

The first was a handsome young man with short blond hair, blue eyes and a mole underneath his left eye. The second was a petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wore a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair.

"That is...Yuuto Kiba and Toujou Koneko." Issei said.

"No shit they are!"

"Excuse me, Hyoudou Issei-san?" The blonde named Kiba asked as he reached them.

"H-how do they know your name Issei? Are you associated with them?" Motohama pointed accusingly at him.

"This is the first time I've talked to them before." Issei snapped back. "Don't make assumptions like that."

Kiba chuckled lightly. "I apologize, Motohama-san was it? It is not that difficult to find out the names of the infamous Perverted Trio."

"...Pervs." The school's first-year mascot remarked softly.

"I'll need to have you follow me to the Student Council. The Student President and Buchou both require you."

"B-both?!" Matsuda stammered. "Both Shitori Souna and Rias Gremory?!"

Koneko answered the question with a simple nod of her head.

"Well..." Issei stood up and held up a hand. "I'll see you two later."

When the three left, the Perverted Duo cried for their brother-in-arms' departure.

Kiba knocked on the door of the Student Council.

"Come in."

Issei was able to recognize the voice of the Student President. Koneko opened the door widely, and Issei stepped in, with Kiba closing and locking the door behind him.

In front of him, were four woman.

The first was Rias Gremory, a beautiful young woman with white skin, blue eyes, and a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature was her long, beautiful crimson hair that reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face.

The second was Akeno Himejima, a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair was tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.

The third was Sona Sitri, a young bespectacled woman with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes.

The fourth was Tsubaki Shinra, a young bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees, with split bangs and heterochromic eyes, with a violet left eye and a light brown right eye. She also wore blue, semi-rimmed glasses with square lenses.

"Hello Hyoudou Issei." Sona greeted him.

Kiba and Koneko walked behind Rias and Akeno.

"...Hello."

"You already know who we are, do you not?" Sona spoke up once again.

"Yes. The Four Great Ladies of Kuoh."

She rose her eyebrows, and Rias spoke up instead of Sona. "We are not talking about that."

Issei looked at them confused. "What do you mean?"

"Hyoudou-san...it's not that simple." Rias giggled. "I'll be straight and blunt with you. We are Devils."

So I stopped at a place that wasn't really a cliff hanger, but is kind of a cliff hanger. Depends on how you see it. Almost everyone who watches DxD knows they are Devils. However, it is a cliff hanger for those who don't watch DxD.

Anyway, I feel like the pacing for the chapters may be a bit too fast. Please tell me if I am going too fast, or its difficult to follow the quick dialogue and actions in the actual chapter. I changed my writing style, so while there may be more actually happening in the chapter, it may plummet in sense, so to speak.

Luna has been slightly introduced. I don't intend to go into her backstory just yet. I plan to wait for Issei and her friendship to get deeper before she tells Issei, as well as us, what has happened in this "Wintenburg" place, and how she ended up in the Crack in the World.

I've also created two new Sacred Gears that may be added into the Longinus list. The first one is a sword from another anime, called the Fragrant Olive Sword. The second is an original one called Fertility of Frigg. Their respective Balance Breakers are Blooming of Aurum: Osmanthus and Origin of Life: Genesis. Their wielders will be kept hidden for now.

Their abilities may be overpowered, but hey, all wielders and Gears have a limit.

Signing off for now. Make sure to leave me your thoughts as well as any general questions. I'll be sure to get back to you via DM/PM (whatever you guys wanna call it).
