The Primate King of DXD
"Speaking"
'Thinking'
Chapter 3.8
I stood up from my bed still a little annoyed I can't go back to sleep. I sighed and said, "well time to start the day I guess". I look around 'my room' to get to a feel of it since it is my bedroom now. It's strange though despite I know that I isn't my room per say, but my heart says otherwise. I have memories of this room even if they're a little blurry right now, and I have no idea what the cause of the blurriness, but I feel I know and somehow remember every inch of the place but at the same time I don't. I groaned "I feel so confused right now" I said. I feel so strong however, physically anyway. So, for now I focused on about myself that does make sense. My body.
I went to close my curtain of my window and looked around the 'my' room to know I have privacy, and when I felt I have it I moved to the full body mirror and see myself almost embarrassed to what I am about to do.
I started to strip, first took off my white shirt then my blue pants and lastly my underwear.
I stared at my naked self on the mirror and nodded with a raised eyebrow, "I gotta say I look damn good, looks close to being ripped but close enough to appreciate it and love it" I said. 'Man, to think I gained this kind of body that I longed for to have since I didn't have it in my previous life. 'I wasn't fat or even chubby, just had a quiet big fleshy part at the bottom of my bellybutton. That was me before and no one will say otherwise' I thought to myself filled with denial.
After completely destroying my mental images of my previous look, I finally gaze at something on 'my' chest. My eyebrows went straight up and my opened my mouth slightly open. "okay I did not see that coming" I said to myself a aloud with a bit of calm bewilderment. At the middle of my chest is a symbol I never thought I see to myself or at least in the appearance of myself right now.
A Golden Cross.
'This is the Cross that not only saved his very life but also help made 'Mori' achieve Enlightenment to become the Supreme God since 'Mori' was already on his way of it before the Cross embedded on his and heart and was able to bring back the surviving humans to life with its power.
"Wait a sec, if I remember correctly, the dream or whatever it was, not only there was another me but also 'Mori' the one I know from the webtoon was there, and his appearance was that of being the Supreme God. Even it was quite brief I clearly remembered that when I was looking at 'him', I didn't see that Golden Cross on his chest'. I thought. Now though it seems I have it. But why. Hmm considering the colour of its light and the place its stuck to me, it must be the one that killed me since my chest was glowing in my spirit form.
"Something DEFINETLY happened in the fight between Mori and Mubong" I said with certainty.
Speaking of about the webtoon of God of Highschool, I didn't exactly see the end of the story since I died and all, but it should at least help me somehow in any kind of way no matter how small considering now that I looked and somewhat feel like 'Mori' as well as that Dream, here in the reality of Highschool DXD.
So, this place is what? Mixture of the two worlds as one? Another Universe? Dimension? god forbid Multiverse or even supremely worse a totally different Omniverse? I absolutely no idea.
Then again, it should impossible, I came from world where it was nothing more than fiction when I was alive, I don't think it works like that in any kind of reality where there is a place where a human creations within the imagination is real. Well, that's just what I think, I guess.
Since this is DXD, is the Dimensional Gap really the space between spaces of different reality of Anime, Manga and Webtoon or something? "oh, my head hurts" I said with mental pain of thinking so much.
"Okay okay stay calm breath in breath out, think about your 'memories' right now me. What remember as well as the new ones I somehow gotten" I said trying calming and trying to understand 'myself' more.
There were some memories I know that isn't mine but again my emotion says the opposite like there making me feel like they are mine to begin with, It really does seem like my mind and my emotions, maybe even my heart are not in total 'Sync'. My soul must be out of whack.
"ok ok focus me" I said. I closed my eyes, breathing slowly to gain calmness and focus. I then spoke with pure honesty, seriousness and certainty, "I am 16 years old, I have a family here, a Mom, a Dad, an Older Sister and lastly an younger sister. I am Korean and small part Chinese, Dad is half Korean and half Chinese, Mom is full Korean. Have some friends but not many. Today is July 25 monday morning. Summer break. I will start Kuoh Academy as a First year on September 5 monday. Huh? Oh, ooohh. So, I'm going to start high school huh? And that means…. Oh shit of course, why am I even surprised at this point. The Academy begins being co-ed this coming time. Great! Oh great that means I really am going bumb shoulders with actual devils with superpowers messing with other people's lives, and not only that, it actually gets worse the students there no matter the gender are complete and utter crazies and perverts." I kept talking to myself opening my eyes once I remembered where I will be attending school and continued on.
"Right right keep calm and go back, school is not important right now. Let's see… oh oooh, oh crap, I don't know why I completely forgot. I cannot believe that something so important and strangely enough it is I must get use to when 'thinking' about my new future I will be heading. It doesn't exactly feel out of place or even a foreign like kind of emotion, I feel that this is me, this is who I am, this is the 'me' of the new place, This Is My Name".
"Mori DanJin"
"Hehe" I chuckled. 'So, this is my name' I amusedly thought. I couldn't help but feel really delighted about my name, especially my surname. But that emotion I am currently feeling right now, I can't help but notice there is a certain echo of some kind feeling to it, like I'm not the only feeling the emotion inside of me. Going back though, I grinned and spoke, "hehe it's like in here the family of Dan and Jin have merge to become one family. DanJin huh? Hehehehe. It's actually Moms surname, Dads different though. It confused me, why did Dad chose Moms family name when he married her?." I looked at myself on the mirror more intently now, I heard 'my door' open behind me, turned around and yelp really loud like a little girl.
Mom POV
Downstairs of the house in the area where the kitchen is, woman is seen making breakfast for her child with love while humming. She has brown hair flowing down to her waist, brown chocolate eyes that is filled with motherly love that none can compare. She was wearing a green apron over her morning clothes. Her skin tone is slightly tanned, and hair are somewhat curly on the bottom at her back hair, and little curlier on her front.
The Mother started speaking to narrate herself, "My name is "Jigu DanJin", I am a Korean woman who's age is….yeah right, like I'm telling you (readers) that. I'm having the time of my life, being a mother to my beloved, amazing and wonderful children. It's been 25 years since my marriage, and nothing have nor ever will stop me from loving my husband and family".
"Mori hasn't come down yet, I wonder why. Usually, he comes down very early and wait by watching me make the food to eat his breakfast as early as possible to start training" I sighed "that boy has too much energy".
Finally finishing making the food, I set up the table and placed breakfast on Mori's plate.
"Mori, breakfast is ready!" I called out to him. I waited a few seconds, and no answer came.
"Mori! Your breakfast is getting cold!" I tried again, and still the same result.
"hmm" this is weird, what kind of morning am I having today?
'Maybe I should check up on him and see if something wrong. It's a little too quiet this morning' I thought.
I went upstairs and now heading to Mori's room. Once I'm just outside of his door. I knock to twice and spoke.
"Mori? Are you there?" and no response. I tried again. Knock Knock
"Are you awake Mori, your breakfast is ready" and still nothing.
'I'm starting to get worried, why is he answering' I thought with a concerned face.
I decided to come inside his room to see if he's awake or not. I turned my sons door handle and pushed forward opening it. I came in and saw my dear son in a shocking scene that I never would think I would again ever since he finally learned to dressed by himself. I put my right hand over my mouth and spoke.
"My oh my"
Then my son turned around shock to find me, his mother staring at him in his birthday suit. Then I heard scream for the first time ever in a sound that is so unfitting for his body stature. My own son, who keeps train to try surpassing both his older sister and father to defeat them in order to prove he is strong enough to protect those dear to him, to which I find very cute as well as his screaming right now.
"Oh dear, I might have come at a wrong time" I said.
"Mooom!, can you knock!" he called back loudly and instantly covering his private part with both his hand.
"I did my dear boy, twice I'll have you know and before then I was downstairs calling for you to get breakfast, but you never answered" I said with eyes closed combined with a smiling face that says 'teasing mode on'.
"ok ok I get it, I didn't hear you but please can you get out already" he said despirately.
"Oh my, I DID come at the wrong time," with a teasing tone. Seeing him squirm is really fun.
"WHAT! NO! I…" my son shouted trying to deny something. I interrupted him, however.
"Oh, so you want me to stay. Oh my goodness I didn't you're the type to want an audience." I faked surprised and embarrassed.
"AAAHHH!" Mori screamed. Once he stopped he continued and still covering his privacy.
"GET OUT!" "OUT!, OUT!, OUT!, OUT!"
"Are you sure, I saw you looking at yourself really intently on the mirror, so I thought you my need an outside view to point out if there's something on your body that needs questioning"
"OOOUUT!" Mori Screamed even louder now.
"Ok ok, I'll stop. I'll stop the teasing hihiihi" I giggled. I started to close the door, but lastly, I said to him.
"Your breakfast is ready, so before it gets cold you better finish your fun time quick" I grinned at him before I fully closed the door. I heard my son from inside his room letting out a loud groan and I giggled.
"hehehe"
I moved towards downstairs then I recalled back a few seconds to my son and seen the mark or symbol etched to his chest.
"hmm".
Mori POV
Letting out a loud groan and said, "I can't believe of all things to forget about getting privacy, the door was unlocked". 'So that's my mother huh. I love her so much but sometimes…. Arghh! so annoying!.. sigh.' I thought annoyed.
"Okay that's enough thinking for the time being" I said and right on time, my stomach growled. I sighed.
"Oh yeah, even before being isekaid, I was heading to home after I bought some foods from the market. Then I took a nap after finally having to relax after the emotional roller coaster ride that's called 'finding your dead body and no choice to go to another world altogether', with no idea or even possible to get back."
Then I look at myself on the mirror again and thought.
'I don't think the latter is possible now' I then sighed again.
I also moved my eyes to the closet door of 'my room' and went over there stop right in front of it. I stared the at doorknob and hesitated a bit, but ultimately I reached out my hand to the knob and turn it clockwise and pulled the door towards myself. Then saw the inevitable outcome. What's inside was just clothes that belongs to 'me'. Finally having enough, I closed the door.
I felt like crying for a moment and started to sniffle a little, letting one small tear down my right eye. So, then I decided to suck it all up and just hope and pray for my Mom, Dad and little brother to be okay and be happy even without me.
"okay" I weakly said to myself. I then went to open the closet again picked out a new set of clothes. New ones but same colour. 'don't judge me, I like wearing white top, blue pants and red shoes or boots'.
Satisfied I head towards the door to go out of my room and go downstairs to finally have food made by the amazing chef called Mom. I turned the doorknob and open my door decisively to go out of the 'room for the first? time'. I am now outside 'my room' and closed it behind me. I both inhaled and exhaled deeply.
I walk to a small corridor of the house to the stairs and while walking I can't help but ponder of what I am feeling right now. I knew in my head that is a new world and I'm walking through a house that isn't exactly mine, but I feel know everything about this place. Hell even this city I'm in. Weird.
Walking the down the stairs and straight through to the dining room. I saw mom with a motherly smile and at the same time I could feel her teasing mode is on slightly. I sighed, and I heard her instantly giggling. I quickly sat next to mom and started eating my breakfast. 'oh wow, mom sure know how to cook, and this is just morning food'. I didn't even realise I was digging in fast, as well as mom loud giggle of amusement.
"So, what took you so long to be this late in the morning" Mom said to me, and now just smiling normally like other moms without the teasing.
"it's not even eleven in the morning yet mom" I told her back.
"True, but you normally wake up really early and already here sat down waiting impatiently I might add to eat and start the day" she told with a hint of concern.
This is probably the first time in a while, or even The First time this kind of thing happened. I decided to tell her my excuse hopping he would buy it. 'It's not like a can tell her (hell even anyone now) straight to the face that I am not exactly her 'son' but someone else who came from another reality that she and this world in nothing but a anime manga light novel webtoon fictional world created by a guys in their small apartment making ends meat'. I thought in my head.
"Sorry mom, (scratching the back of my head) I don't know why but still felt tired and went back to sleep again. Need to take off the tiredness, right? To feel the energy to start my training?" I told her my excuse. Mom sighed and told me.
"Maybe the tiredness is finally telling you to ease up on the training even just a little bit and wanted to rest. Resting is just as important you know. That's why it's called a 'Balance Healthy Lifestyle." She says with a very motherly voice.
"Sleeping is a kind of training too you know". Mom said lastly
"I know I know, I just…. I want to get stronger to protect you Mom, and my sisters. Of course, that includes my friends and the ones I will make in the future" I told her with a slight narrow on my eyes filled with determination and a face of confidence. Mom just looked at me with small smile and half lid eyes, like she's reminiscing. She the grinned and starts pinching my cheek. 'ouch'
"All the more reason for you to know when to take it easy, to make sure to not end up in a hospital and say bye bye to training." She said to me supportably. But still.
"That's one way of motivation Mom." I said back with a half lid eyes and blank face. She just giggled.
"Sorry, but you know what I mean".
"I know" I rolled my eyes with a grin smile.
I finished my food with a plate shiny clean, ask mom for seconds, though I think I sounded like I begged. Mom happily served me again but not much this time because he told me that's enough. I whined a little at that. No fair.
While I was eating my seconds, I was thinking of what I will do today. I'll skip 'my' training just for today and just go outside of the house today and explore the city. 'My' new memories of this city are still blurry, but some are starting to focus however I still can't make them out, so I that maybe I thought the blurriness might fade if 'I' see them 'again'. At the same time with everything I have, AVOID a certain redhead, black-haired, cat girl, ikke man, I don't think I should worry too much about a vampire in a box, petite black hair in glasses and her right-hand girl also in glasses. I was also begging in my mind to not encounter any supernatural beings while I'm outside today because I don't think I'm ready for that chapter of my life start yet. 'I' just got here, okay?
The next thing that crossed in my head immediately made my stomach twist in the most unbelievable way. My plans for today are something I must keep from Mom. I'm going to tell her I'm going to train outside this time and won't be back till the end of the afternoon, so that means for the first time since coming here and deciding to gout of the house, I'm going to lie to my very kind and loving mother. Just thinking about that last part made want to stay home and help mom through out the house. However, I knew that deep down there is no choice but to lie since it is also for Mom sake as well. If I stayed, she would find it odd that I decided that, since she said I mostly spend a lot of time training after breakfast, and if I told I was going to take a walk most of the day and afternoon, Mom will definitely be suspicious of me since it's been really rare for me to go outside that is not training. I could tell her I was hanging out with friends, but I don't want to risk her finding out I wasn't. All the excuse I'm making in the head is really making puke (but holding it in since I'm still eating) and being disgusted with myself even more, 'I really am sorry for lying mom, but I know you'll be worried about be me the whole day, and I love you too much for that.' I thought.
Once I finished my seconds, I have taken plate and glass to the sink and started to clean to thank Mom for the delicious breakfast. Mom chuckle at my reasoning and said, "how cute". I groaned and decided to make conversation instead.
"So, Mom, where are those two sisters of mine now." I started.
"hmm? You forgot where your sisters are? I remember telling you last night." She said confused. I winced, good thing she didn't notice.
"hehe sorry, I think I meant more on what there doing now, since you know, there trouble magnets not matter what time of the day it is." I said trying as much as I can not to being weird. I think I'm failing at that. I then remembered if not a little vaguely in 'my' new memories of where those two are, my older sister had a meeting with some martial arts masters, and since the meeting place is quite far from home she decided to sleep in an hotel near the place last night so today she will go straight to the meeting place, and lastly my younger one had a sleep over. I also feel what I said was true. My sisters are trouble magnets. My younger one, most of the time keep getting flirted on despite her age while outside and her icy cold demeaner just added to her charm, trouble comes to her. My older one….well…. she is both, trouble comes to her, and she seeks them out too, but at least I can thank the stars she is not a battle nut like Vali. Mom just giggled.
"Like your one to talk Mister trouble magnet. But I get what you mean, hehehe. But don't you worry, you are not the only one who is strong around here".
"I know, I just worry a little." I said indeed I am a little worried about both of my sisters even knowing my younger one can hold her on against those twice her size, and my older sis…. Yeah, just thinking about her and those who even try to put their dirty hands on her just made my little worry go down, if only a little bit. She will demolish them. Probably still wanting more to fight after. I have yet to defeat her after all. Mom then spoke.
"You better not let your big sis hear you say that. Hehehe. Say that 'after' you get a win against her"
"Don't sweat it Mom, I will become stronger, and I will win against big sis and Dad and prove I can protect you all from any kind of danger. I will be this family's Hero." I said very confidently while facing her with my right hand over my heart and head held up high. After I said my speech Mom just chuckled loudly and says.
"I don't know how I should feel about how seeing family fight each other, but I am truly certain you will become stronger my baby boy (I groaned) and I know you will protect us. I fully believe in you." She smiled very lovingly. I just grinned at her.
"I won't let you down Mom" I said with determination.
"I know you won't" Mom said very surely.
Once I finished the cleaning the dishes, I was about to head towards the front door to go out of the house and start to see and feel the new world I'm about to face. In my line of vision, I saw a picture of my parents in the living room that's visible to the kitchen I then ask Mom a question that I never saw the twitch in her left pinky.
"Dad will come back right Mom?" I said to plainly.
"What are you saying Mori, of course he will come back. There is no doubt in my mind and my whole being is telling no yelling at me that your father will be coming back." Mom spoke with pure conviction. She continued.
"Remember everything I told you about your father Mori, You and your sisters Dad, my strong and loving husband is the strongest in the world, and the most important thing to him us, you your sisters and I are his world. Nothing that exist and will exist will stop you father from coming back to us, his world." Mom said with even more of surety, and the lasting she said had me feel all kind of feeling, I thought I wasn't the only one inside me gave an emotional response to last thing Mom said.
"That's the kind of Man your father, your Dad, "Taejin Cheongsin" truly is".
Mom smiled very fondly about him, and from the face she was making right now is, she's lost in a moment and started reminiscing about Dad. It only lasted a few seconds though before hearing me chuckled.
"You're right Mom, Sorry about asking that very stupid" I said apologetically.
"No need to say sorry my baby, I'm sure you just really missed him that's all. I'm sure your sisters miss him too. Maybe your big sis even more so because she can't wait to fight him herself. Hehe" Mom said back to me with last part trying to cheer me up and it did.
Mom said to me a few years ago that Dad left on business just when I was 1 years old, and my younger sister was just recently born. She told me he was a martial art grandmaster that stands above all fighters in the world and way he earns money is by challenging warriors and being challenged from all over the world and many have agreed so that they can not only fight him but also learn what they can from the fight since he told everyone no matter who there are, he will not teach his fighting style. Before he left, Mom said that Dad promised to come back, and he will bring gifts. And that was the last time she last seen and heard from him. All the fighters who wishes to fight Dad often came here at home to see if he's home but Mom always says that Dad is out in the world so if they want to challenge him, they need to find him first. Which I still find very cool even today.
I decided now it was time to head to the new world, knowing Mom will be okay here even if I still feel guilty for lying to her. I put on my red boots then walk towards the door to the outside world. Mom was just standing behind me seeing me off.
"Later Mom, don't worry about food though I have money on me right now, so I'll just buy some on the market places." I said to her reassuringly.
"Ok but do be careful about your training. You're not immortal you know. Hehe." She joked at the last part.
"I'll be careful I promise, we are a family of martial artists after all" I chuckled. Considering the last part of what she said was kind of a pun to 'me'.
I closed the door and faced the unknown future now.
Jigu DanJin POV
'There goes my son, off on the world again'. I thought to myself.
"He reminds me so much of you Taejin its almost scary, but I'm happy still." I said out loud.
"Please come back to us my love. To your world, to your children….. to me". I whispered.
"I hope every world is ready for Mori" I prayed in a low voice.
"The troublemaker he is" I said lastly.
Omake
I am standing face to face against Arthur Pendragon himself even if he is just a descendant of the real King Arthur. I told Vali I want to fight the sword master himself and he told Arthur to fight me and that's how we got here on this moment. We also got an audience too; it was Vali and his team. Vali is bored but with hint of curiosity and intrigue, Bikou is excitedly waiting for us to start, Kuroka is also excited for the fight but if you closely there is a hint of lust. Did I also mention she never took her eyes of off me ever since I came to them, also that grin on her face was becoming more feral by the second. Last but not least, our very own resident KAWAII witch, she couldn't decide who to root for. Her Onii-sama or her crush, me.
'This should be interesting fight, show me how strong you are, and I'm next'. Vali thought.
"Come on, fight already!" Bikou yelled impatiently.
"Let me see what you made of love" Kuroka said in a low voice and lusting after me. Well, I think not me but some part that's lower part of me.
'Please be careful Onii-sama. Fight hard Mori-kun' The KAWAII Le Fey prayed and cheered in her cutesy head.
"Let's get this party started already Arthur, always wanted to fight someone like you especially the one who's wielding the strongest holy sword: Caliburn" I said excitingly.
"Hmph, we shall see first whether or not you are worthy". Arthur said while summoning the legendary sword 'Excalibur-Ruler'.
"You say that, but your already summoned the strongest Excalibur fragment" I grinned.
"and you shall see why it is the strongest fragment." He said, then pointed the sword towards me. Then he said something I was so confused by.
"Make a T pose." He Commanded.
"….huh?" I questioned dumbfounded.
"NOW!" he yelled.
"ok ok" I said hurriedly and made a T pose. Arthur then walks towards and I thought this is just a dirty trick and he's about to attack. When he reached me, he did something so unexpected and so much….dumb. Arthur started to put his sword next to my arms, legs and the rest of my body, looking like he started measuring me. He then stepped back, and I put my arms down. He pointed his sword again at me.
"YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SAME MESUREMENT AS I HAVE, AS SUCH YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF FIGHTING ME!" Arthur Pendragon declared.
Silence…..
My face is so blank you think I was completely dead. I flashed right in front of the sword and roundhouse kicked the blade, and absolutely destroyed it.
"NOOOOO!" Arthur yelled. He fell on his knees and went all fours in tears of fountain.
I looked at him with regret, regret to ever knowing him.
At the audience side.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bikou was laughing his ass off.
"I completely regret there was a time I wanted to hump his 'sword'. Kuroka said dejectedly.
'There goes my plan on having me a god slaying doggy' Vali thought in depression.
"oh Onii-sama" The KAWAII witch sighed.
"Yes" The KAWAII witch squeak in small sound. Probably to me.
Author notes
'Jigu' means Earth in Korean. I didn't want to use GAIA because there already a being with that name.
'Cheongsin' (Gyeonsin) means Renewal in Korean I changed the spelling based on how it sounded. (Yeah I used Google Translate hehe)
