Currently working on one of his favorite projects in the shed in his grandparents backyard in Kuoh Japan is a young man who comes from America as this young inventor is known as Daisuke Shi.
Daisuke would be considered a half-blood in the old days of Japan as he has light brown skin with black hair done in ear length dreadlocks with black eyes and he has an average build as he is currently dressed in a simple white T-shirt with blue jeans and sneakers as he just finished his best invention.
"This should do it." Daisuke said to himself as he sat in a comfortable gamer chair in the shed as he was in front of a desk that supported his computer console as he had the PC hooked up to a sophisticated helmet device with goggles attached to it as he put the helmet on his had as it has various wires all over that went backwards to the back of the helmet as the wires joined together into a single usb port that was plugged into the computer as Daisuke turned the computer on and smiled in success.
"Fully immersive VR." Daisuke said as he felt as if the computer screen was actually fused with his senses as he went through the various apps on his computer with no problem, but he decided to really put this machine to the test as he cut on a generic RPG and started playing it as he was completely unaware of the storm that was rolling in.
"Okay the visuals and sound seem to hold up decently which means the helmet part is a success and that means that I just need to work on controls for the hands and feet so people can actually feel like they are within the videogames they are playing." Daisuke said to himself as he felt rather proud of this invention of his.
Then suddenly Daisuke heard a massive booming noise which made him stop playing the game. As he recognized that noise as the sound of thunder.
"I thought it wasn't supposed to storm today." Daisuke said to himself before something unfortunate happened as a massively powerful bolt of lightning came through the roof of the shed and struck Daisuke's helmet and badly electrocuted him as both his computer and the helmet short circuited as Daisuke slumped onto the ground unconscious and unaware of the change that this event has caused him as he wasn't struck with a simple bolt of lightning as two figures hovered above the shed.
One of the figures looked down at the destruction while the second took the chance to make his escape as the unknown figure flew down to the shed and forced his way inside to see if anyone had been hit by his attack and sadly, he saw Daisuke on the ground and unresponsive.
"God no." The man said as he quickly went to Daisuke's side and picked him up before rushing Daisuke to the nearest hospital after telling his grandparents what had happened.
-X-
"Ow. My head." Daisuke said as he slowly opened his eyes and discovered that he was laying down on a hospital bed as he saw his grandmother and grandfather sleeping in the nearby chairs of the room.
His grandparents are decent folks as they are dressed in modest clothes as they sport fair skin with black hair and eyes as Daisuke found himself wondering how he ended up in this mess as the entire event is a blue to him.
"Oh, good your awake." A new voice said as a strange man entered the room wearing priestly clothes.
"Who are you?" Daisuke asked the strange looking man who seemed to be worried about Daisuke.
"My name is Dulio Gesualdo and I owe you a deep and sincere apology." Dulio said as Daisuke was confused before Dulio walked up to his bedside. "It is my fault that you ended up like this." Dulio said sadly.
"How is this your fault? You can't control the weather." Daisuke said back which made Dulio sigh.
"About that. I should explain some things to you so you can fully grasp the situation." Dulio said before he explained that the supernatural world of monsters and god's is all real and that he was fighting a dangerous fallen angel when he decided to use his [Sacred Gear].
His goal was to strike the fallen angel down with a bolt of lightning, but the fallen angel was a bit faster than Dulio anticipated and before he could correct his mistake the lightning made of holy energy struck Daisuke and put him in the hospital.
Now Daisuke wasn't sure what to say to the man and before he could even speak a powerful headache hit Daisuke and his right eye felt like it was about to explode.
"It hurts." Daisuke cried in pain as his entire head pulsated like a heartbeat and Daisuke had tears welling up in his eyes from the pain but eventually, he opened his eyes and he saw something strange over his right hand as he saw what looked like a videogame screen of all things.

"What is this?" Daisuke asked with a lot more confusion and fear.
"Daisuke what do you see?" Dulio asked in a serious tone of voice.
"I see stats and an achievement list. Like in a videogame." Daisuke said honestly.
"Well becoming an ability user can lead to strange powers but seeing something from a videogame is certainly weird even by supernatural standards." Dulio said as the pain in Daisuke's head slowly started to fade away.
"What's an ability user?" Daisuke asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"An ability user is someone who gains a magical power after a near death experience caused by magical influence. Like a person gaining control over the water because they were hit with a powerful water spell that nearly killed them for example however it seems that you are a strange ability user. If anything, you should have been given a lightning or holy magic ability." Dulio said in deep thought as Daisuke wanted to stop seeing the image and eventually the image disappeared.
"I didn't want to believe you but after seeing that…I don't think it was just some hallucination. So, what should I do?" Daisuke asked as he somehow wanted this man to tell him how he should move on from this as he couldn't tell his grandparents about all of this because he hardly believed it himself and he knew his grandparents would think he was crazy or something.
"Honestly, I think you should pretend that this power doesn't exist. The supernatural world is a dangerous one and when people learn you have powers they will aim to corrupt or kill you and frankly you have suffered enough. So, please move on from this day and live your life as best you can." Dulio said as Daisuke's grandparents Takahiro Shi and Rin Shi started to stir.
"How am I supposed to pretend that this power doesn't exist? I can't just turn it on and off." Daisuke said back.
"I know but that is up to you to figure out I'm afraid. It is your power and the only one that can figure out how it works is you and you alone. Now I have caused you more than enough problems so I will take my leave." Dulio said sadly as he seemed to truly regret what has happened as he turned around and made his way out as Daisuke's grandparents both fully woke up and quickly gave Daisuke a massive hug.
Two Weeks Later
Daisuke woke up with a heavy sigh as he hasn't really been able to do much these past two weeks since his grandparents were crazy worried about him, and he didn't blame them for being concerned given what had happened.
The headaches and random activations of his powers was a concern, but his grandfather bought him some generic aspirin which did help and with some hard focused thinking Daisuke was able to somewhat control this strange power as his status screen didn't randomly appear without his permission anymore.
"Time to start a new school life." Daisuke said as today was the day that he would start his new school life in Kuoh Academy which was formally an all-girls school.
Now Daisuke got up and looked over at the various inventions in his room before grabbing his clothes as he went into the bathroom across from his room and cleaned himself up before getting dressed in the standard Kuoh male uniform as he went back into his room as he grabbed his school bag as well as his silver biker goggles and put them on over his forehead as he made his way downstairs and saw his grandmother in the kitchen preparing some food.
"Hey grandma. What are you cooking?" Daisuke asked with a smile.
"I'm cooking food for your grandfather to celebrate the promotion he got at work. Now run along before your late for school." Rin said as Daisuke backed away from the stove that his grandmother stood in front of as he went into the kitchen and grabbed an energy drink before downing the whole thing as he then made his way out of his grandparents' home as he started walking towards the school.
"Damn it. At this rate I'm going to be late." Daisuke said as he quickly started sprinting towards Kuoh Academy as fast as he could since he didn't want to be late and as he was sprinting; he felt a sudden change. Almost as if a new source of energy made itself known to him as his running speed had suddenly increased and then Daisuke saw his mysterious power had activated without warning.
You have developed a new skill!
[Sprint, Active Lvl: 1
Through proper use of your latent arcane energy, you have developed a true sprinting speed!
MPH: 8
Cost: 1.5 MP per Sec]
"What the hell?" Daisuke asked himself as he still kept sprinting as he soon made his way to school and when he reached the gates he was sweating heavily and was completely out of breath.
Status: [Mana Exhaustion]
Mana will begin to recover after an hour of rest, but the recovery speed will be reduced significantly unless you take a mana recovery enhancing supplement!
"Shi-san I see you've made it here on time." A familiar voice asked as Daisuke ignored the screen in front of his face as he saw the student council president Souna Shitori waiting for him by the school gates as he remembered the girl with glasses from the first tour of the school he took while he was still in recovery after being released from the hospital.
"I…Didn't want…To be late." Daisuke said through deep breaths as his legs truly felt weak and unstable which made Daisuke put a mental note down in his memory as he told himself a million times to start exercising but now after everything he would be fully committed to the act.
"I can see that. You didn't need to push yourself this hard Shi-san." Souna said as she looked Daisuke over and with her cold glare, she honestly made him feel a bit embarrassed.
"I know…But I didn't…Want to start the school year off…By being late." Daisuke said before he put his hands on his knees as he bent over and tried to catch his breath.
"Well…At least you have a good work ethic." Souna said a bit awkwardly as the two of them waited by the school gates for another student to appear and be talked to about the school regulations and expectations as this student came to school on his bike.
"Sorry I'm late." The boy said as he hooked his bike up to a nearby stand and placed a bike lock on it so it wouldn't be stolen as this boy was known as Issei Hyoudou.
"Well now that you both are here let's start going over the rules." Souna said sharply as Daisuke and Issei both picked up on Souna not being pleased by Issei being late and soon enough the trio started walking around the school grounds as Souna explained how things worked in Kuoh Academy as Daisuke took in the rules and made sure that he would follow them while Issei seemed to be a bit more distracted by the female population of the school.
"I trust that the two of you know where your classes are. So, make sure you take this education seriously." Souna said before she walked away from the duo.
"I don't think she likes you." Daisuke said to Issei as he let out a sigh.
"I know." Issei said back before the two of them made their way to their classes as Issei was in class 2-A and Daisuke was in class 2-B.
"Alright class let's all give a warm welcome to our new student Shi Daisuke." The teacher said as Daisuke introduced himself to the class before being given a seat next to a rather attractive girl known as Sachi Genshirou.
She had the tomboy look with short blonde hair and a thin but fit frame, her eyes are a grey color, and she is wearing the girls Kuoh uniform but without the corset.
The teacher was a kind man known as Akira-sensei and a few anime loving students made jokes about him being involved in the Akira animated movie which he simply laughed off and Daisuke couldn't help but smile at how easy going the teacher was as he wasn't like some of the teacher he had back in America.
"You don't have to worry too much. Akira-sensei is pretty chill." Sachi said kindly as Daisuke felt welcomed in this school and that feeling pushed him to give this school his very best as Daisuke went straight to work taking notes and answering questions.
Now soon enough lunch came around and instead of going to the cafeteria Daisuke decided to go to the school library as he went over to a certain section of books and sat them down on a desk as the books where about the seven chakras, magic spells for cleaning, real life magical abilities and stuff like that as Daisuke never paid much thought into the stuff before but now with his new abilities, he was desperate for answers.
"One of these books has to have some information for me." Daisuke said as he started reading the books as the books explained stuff about magic, Ki, the soul, the mind and all other stuff but aside from some mildly interesting reading Daisuke couldn't really find any answers he was looking for. "I guess trying to find a magic answer to my problems was a bit unrealistic."
Then just like that the school bell rang and lunch was over, so Daisuke put the book back in their proper places and made his way to his classes as he was a bit hungry, but he had more pressing concerns on his mind.
-X-
The school day soon ended, and Daisuke started making his way home as he was still struggling to understand this newfound power he was given and how he can possibly live his life like this.
"What am I going to do?" Daisuke asked himself as he still didn't really know how to process all of this. "Maybe I should just focus on one thing at a time. Like getting in proper shape." Daisuke said as he reached into his pocket and took out his wallet as he had a bit of cash and decided to step into a nearby pawn shop to buy some mild exercise gear.
"Hey there kid. Welcome to my little shop." The owner said as Daisuke looked at the man and could see that he was also a foreigner but didn't bring it up as the man had grey hair but still looked fit and young as he could be one of those models you see in a magazine given how handsome and sharp looking the man appeared to be as he was also sporting a blue business suit and Daisuke also noticed a few other workers all over the store.
"Hi. I'm just looking around for a bit." Daisuke said with a causal wave.
"Well feel free to browse and hopefully buy something you like." The man said as Daisuke began going around the store looking at the various items and he actually ended up on the more technical side of the store and as he reached for an old looking camcorder another hand reached for it as Daisuke looked to the right and saw the person who reached for it.
This young woman seemed to be around Daisuke's age as she was shorter than Daisuke as he stood at six feet tall while this girl seemed to be roughly five foot five, her skin is a bit pale and her eyes are a dark blue color that almost shined like gemstones, she has modest curves to her frame with black hair done in a simple chin length ponytail and is wearing a bright pink T-shirt with black jeans and brown shoes.
"Oh. Sorry I didn't know you wanted this old model camcorder." Daisuke said quickly and a bit nervously as he removed his hand.
"No, it's fine. I wasn't going to buy it. I was going to put the sale tag on it." The girl said before she placed a 'on sale' sticker on the camcorder as Daisuke couldn't pass up the sale since he can use this camcorder as spare parts for his tech.
"Do you work here?" Daisuke asked as he tried to sound confident.
"Yeah, I do. My name is Maria Solei and I work here for my uncle Andre. He's the one that greeted you when you came into the store." Maria said with a kind smile.
"Cool." Daisuke said as he grabbed the camera and settled for only buying this for now.
"So, are you in a film club or something?" Maria asked.
"No. I'm an inventor really and I make all sorts of stuff with whatever parts I can get and eventually I am going to build something successful and hit it big." Daisuke said as he wanted not to simply be recognized for his tech, but he wanted his tech to improve people's lives.
Or at the very least he wanted his tech to make people's lives easier. Like building a new and unique type of cell phone or self-piloting car or something.
"Well, I'm sure you're going to build something really cool." Maria said back.
"Thanks. That means a lot to me." Daisuke said back before he went and bought the camcorder as he said goodbye to his new friend and made his way to his home where he quickly went into the shed in the backyard that he claimed as his workspace, and he took the camcorder apart for spare parts and materials.
END!
A/N: Okay so this is a more dramatic and semi-realistic take on the DxD universe and before anyone says anything I will say that in the light novels it is canon that this world has Ability Users in it that are separate from Sacred Gear users and sadly they aren't elaborated on really.
So, I decided to make this story and have an ability user as the main character and as you can tell this gamer story is a bit different from anything I have ever done, and I intend to make this story super dramatic and dark based one a singular thought that I had when I focused on reading and writing, and that thought is a simple one.
Fuck the Normal!
Anyway, please fav, follow and review.
