Note: This an OVA chapter, focusing on what happened to Hyoudou Issei before he got reincarnated into a devil in fanfic.
OVA Chapter-The Past Life of Hyoudou Issei…
A boy with brown hair and hazel nut eyes can be seen standing alone in the rain. Water, flowed down his delicate face as he stared at the sky…
What do I want to be?
What do I desire?
What do I want to chase for?
Issei Hyoudou thought as he continued standing, letting the rain soak his entire body.
I've always wanted to do something; however, I can't tell what it really is…
Children in my age already has a dream in mind, however, why can't tell my very own…
He thought conflicted…
He was just a child back then, about 5 years old…He is often referred to us a loner by the others his age
*step*
*step*
*step*
"Hmm?" he hummed out curious on who this is.
The girl that approached him, has yellow hair seeming glistening from the light emanated above by the heavens. She has beautiful green eyes, on her face a cheerful expression plastered on her face.
She was beautiful…putting all the models nowadays to shame.
"Uhmmm…are you feeling cold?" asked the blonde girl in front of me. Our protagonist just stared at her with his dull and emotionless eyes.
"No, I am fine" he responded to the unnamed girl that stood by his side.
"I can tell that you are not!" she responded a bit irritated.
"Let me shelter you for a bit…" the girl then added.
Issei was shocked by this…a person willing to help a loner like him…much less shelter him
"Tell me…your name, after all I can't blindly follow anyone" Issei said to the girl.
"Arthuria…Arthuria Pendragon" said the girl cheerfully.
"Pendragon…that family name was familiar…"
Our protagonist thought as he continued stare at her delicate and silky-smooth skin.
"It's bad to stare you know…" the girl said while blushing from the gaze that our protagonist gave her.
"Whatever…" Issei responded almost robotically.
"Let's go! We might catch a cold," said the girl cheerfully while motioning her hands for Issei to follow her.

-Pendragon Residence-
"Looks like we are here!" the blonde-haired girl let out cheerfully.
But for the protagonist however…he was in deep thought…
"Hey! You didn't tell me your name" she said while pouting cutely.
"My name is Issei…Hyoudou Issei" I responded at the pouting girl and received a nod from her.
"Issei-kun…let's come in" she said cheerfully.
Issei's heart…skipped a beat. Her cute and delicate voice called upon his name innocently.
"Issei-kun…are you alright…your face is turning red" the girl questioned.
In turn…the normally stoic and depressed child…smiled at a girl…
"I am fine, I can handle myself" he said as they approach the gate of a house.
.
.
.
Issei was mesmerized by the mansion; it was equivalent to that of a castle…
*Creak*
The door let out was they opened the large doors of a mansion…it was simply luxurious. Costly painting littered the ceiling, as well as chandeliers hangs high above the mansion, good quality couches, with trims of gold.
Our protagonist then carefully sat down while waiting for the girl to arrive.
"Issei-kun…let's talk more about our lives…after all we are friends" the girl said cheerfully
.
.
.
Issei has nothing to tell her, his mind was blank at that moment.
"Issei-kun?" asked the girl. With this in turn snapping Issei out of his trance.
"I have nothing to tell you…I am sorry" he said as he hurriedly stood up from the couch.
"Issei-kun…" she let out sadly as she saw Issei move out from the house…
I am just a loner, I am no one to be cared for…I am just a nobody
Why care for my life?
I have no life; I have no significance in life I am worthless…
Our protagonist wailed out while running towards his house…However…
His world…suddenly went blank…
"Ar- yo- Al-i-gh-?"
"H-y d'n't D-e o- me!"
"H-lp! s-me o-e pl-ase!"
Faint sounds…faint voices, raging torrent of flames…
-It was hot, the air is currently unbreathable-
Our protagonist managed to stand up despite the pain on doing so…
"Help please!"
"AAAAAAAAARGH"
"Someone- "
Screams of the damned…screams of the dying. That image…permanently etched into his empty soul…
"N-no…NO!" he screamed at the heavens…
"Why not me! Why them? WhyI? IF THERE IS A GOD…, WHY DIDN'T HE CHOOSE ME INSTEAD!" he managed to say while wailing, scratching the now ruined ground.
*Step*
He continued to walk…
*Step*
Seeking something
*Step*
While letting out tears…
*Step*
Towards his eminent demise…
He was a man, with messy black hair and, emotionless eyes…
His face, however, has the expression of hopelessness plastered on them…
"Why…why did this happen" he managed to utter out despite the pain of having his skin burned…he continued to look for survivors…the ones that he can save.
However, what met him, are only ashes being blown out by the unbreathable air.
"WHY ME?!"
He heard a cry…a cry of an alive person that lost everything…
Manage to hear the scream, he hurriedly went to that direction, what he found…is a boy.
A boy with hazel nut eyes and brown air, staring blankly at the sky covered with sooth.
.
.
.
"Thank goodness…you're alive" said the man, relieved while letting out tears of joy.
As for the boy however…his eyes widened…
Saving a person…brings that much happiness? He thought mentally as he passed out from the damage done to his young body.
.
.
.
The shining brilliance of light met his naked eyes, momentarily blinding him…
Rubbing his eyes, his vision now letting him see clearly. However, the first that the little head of his thought was…
Who I am?
Where am I?
What Happened?
Before he can continue his train of thoughts…the door for the ward opened.
Our protagonist finally met him, the savior, the man that went on all lengths just to save a worthless person like him…
"Good morning, Kid" the stranger greeted me.
"Who are you?" Issei questioned the man, with his guard up and his fists clenched.
"I have no Ill-will against you…" the man responded at me.
"What is your name kid?" asked the man, wanting to know my name.
"It's- "the realization hit him; he doesn't remember his name.
.
.
.
A few seconds passed as silence reigned the room that they were in…
"M-my n-name is Issei" our protagonist managed to utter out unsure.
"No last name?" asked the stranger.
"I somehow can't remember" I responded at the man.
"I see, my name is Kiritsugu…" the strange man halted his mouth from letting out his name any further.
"Emiya" he finally managed to add.
"Kiritsugu Emiya?" I asked, that name was vaguely familiar.
"Let's get straight to the point" the man said while eying me.
"You have a choice...whether you will work for the church, go to an orphanage- "
However, the response that he said shocked the man to his very core.
"I will come with you…besides you saved me" the boy said.
The man that can kill from his gaze alone, smiled genuinely.
"I see…then ready yourself, you can be discharged as of today" the man said as he stood up from the chair he was sitting and went out of the door.
.

-Line Break-
A few weeks later
"Issei…" the man referred to the boy.
"What is it, Dad?" he asked. He considered him as a dad since he adopted him.
"From now on…you will refer yourself as a Hyoudou, since you came from that family line" the man said as he coughed out blood.
"Dad, wait" Issei said as he proceeds to head to the kitchen to fill up an empty glass with cold water and some medicine…
"Thank you, Issei," he said gratefully as he gulped down the medicine along with the water.
After putting it in the kitchen counter, he went back to his father…
"Issei…what do you want to be in the future?" asked the man curiously while gazing the beautiful night sky…
"I-"he stopped himself.
What does he really want to be?
What does he want to achieve?
"I want to become a hero…and save people" after he said that the man besides him only smiled.
"I see…I childish dream, but a good one nonetheless," said the man.
-Line break-
Our protagonist was now 11 years old.
His hazel nut hair gently caressed by the pure breathable air and his eyes, no longer belonged to that of a broken person, instead, it was the eyes of a person who had found something valuable for himself.
"Good day isn't it, Hyoudou-kun?" asked a girl with Hazel nut air and violet-colored eyes, she was wearing a boyish outfit.
"Indeed, it is Irina-chan" said Issei, acknowledging her statement…
"Issei don't be sad that we are leaving next week…besides I'll come back looking better" she said while letting out a sheepish grin.
"Irina…it's just, you're my first friend…" the protagonist said while reminiscing of those times…
"It's fine…besides I'll come back did I not tell you?" said the hazel-nut haired girl.
.
.
.
"Just come back alright?" Issei said as he bid his final farewell to his so-called first friend…
"Yes, I will come back…I promise" she said as she entered the van that her family owned.
-Line break-

His adopted father Kiritsugu Emiya has now perished due to respiratory problems. He grieved his loss greatly. He was now 13 years old…
"Father…Why? Why did you leave me alone?" he said as he stared on his father's resting place…
That's a good dream…you should pursue it
Those words echoed in his head…
"I will pursue it Dad…I want to become an ally of justice who will save everyone" said Issei as he smiled bitterly.
"Farewell, Dad" he said as he went out the cemetery…
