Game of DxD: Redux.

Chapter 1


It's early morning on Sunday. The trees are dancing in the wind, the early birds are singing, and the people are happily conversing and enjoying their surroundings. The Sun is shining brightly, and the children woke up with energy.

Unfortunately, this wasn't how everything started...

Let's have a rewind, shall we?


««Flashback»»

A boy, 17, could be seen walking in a park. He had messy brown hair, with the bangs split into two on the front. He wore a sports outfit that consisted of a light black zipped hoodie, sweatpants, and white sports sneakers. He had chocolate brown eyes.. The boy's name was Hyoudou Issei. He had gone to the park to settle and relax a bit, after helping his father move in a large new 4K 144Hz Smart TV. As he walked, his eyes landed on a specific girl. She had long, brown hair tied into a pair of pigtails. Her eyes a vibrant yellow, she wore glasses with a pink coloured frame. That girl was none other than Kiryuu Aika, Issei's soon-to-be classmate for Kuoh Academy's co-ed second years. Issei, who had heard of the news with his two best friends, Matsuda and Motohama, a year ago, had decided to apply to the formerly all-girls Academy. Otherwise, he'd have to travel to Kyoto to live with his grandmother and go to school there.

Nothing seemed special here, except for the fact that Aika seemed distressed, and found herself surrounded by a group of four guys.

Issei decided to stop and get closer, to listen in on the conversation. However, he realized that he could hear them surprisingly clearly from this distance. Ignoring that fact for now, whilst hearing their conversation, he concluded that it didn't sound good. Despite Issei's reputation of being a total pervert (one that he wore with pride), he would never lay his hands on a female forcefully. Sure, he peeked, fapped to, and more, but raping was something he never wishes to step into. With the gears in his mind working, Issei concludes that he has two available options. A – call for help and assist Aika, which does not seem to be too good of an option seeing as how the people nearby would ignore her situation. B – he steps in himself...

...Oh well, he wasn't going to let a girl get assaulted, and hey, he might befriend her, and let him see a pair of heavenly tits!

After the assaulters had blindfolded her, they dragged her in an alleyway dark enough to keep away suspicious eyes. Having seen enough, however, Issei approached and quietly grabbed two rocks, both large enough to fit his palms. Issei crouched down as he adjusted his footing, sneaking up on one of the men standing guard. Winding up, he then SMACKED the man in the back of the head with one of the rocks, dropping him instantly.

He panicked a bit when they hit the ground, but quickly found a series of boxes to hide behind. "Oi, Junpe, you alright?" Yelled one of the thugs, pausing in his attempted molestation.

No response.

His eyes narrowed in suspicion and war, "Kuro, go and check if Junpei's alright." Nodding, the addressed thug went to obey.

"Junpe?" his question trailed off, his eyes widening when he saw his friend's body on the ground, the back of his head bloodied. Kuro instantly panicked and was about to reach into his pocket for a knife, but Issei was quicker. He hurled the rock into the man's eye, making him drop his knife with a cry of pain and hold his face. Issei, quickly getting over his surprise at his own accuracy, sprang into action.

"Fuck! Fu- GAAHHH!" Kuro yelled out as Issei slashed his knees with the knife, blood quickly soaking his pants. Issei couldn't help but feel disgusted at the sight and wanted to throw up, but he knew he couldn't hesitate now.

Kuro grabbed both of his knees in pain and desperation to stop the bleeding. Two down, two to go, Issei noted as the third thug approached quickly pulling out his own knife. "Boss, someone's here! Kuro and Junpe are down!" He shouted, but then let out a cry of surprise when Issei appeared and kicked the man in the balls. He fell to his knees and placed both hands, paralyzed with agony.

Their boss came to a knife in his hand.

'So, he left Aika, good.' Issei quickly tried to rush at the guy to surprise him, but he forgot about the thug behind him. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in the back of his head as his vision went blurry and hazy. Glancing back as he stumbled, he could still make out the face of one of the thugs, smirking down on him in a disgusting way.

"Fucking bitch. What the fuck's wrong with you?! Huh?!" One of the thugs shouted in frustration, kicking Issei in his stomach, making him throw up his morning breakfast. The thugs laughed mercilessly but then one of them noticed their comrade's injury.

"Oi, Kuro. That shit needs to get fuckin' checked out."

"Yeah, after we beat the shit out of this little fuck..."

As Issei silently kept on crying, their conversation falling on deaf ears.

'I don't wanna die, fuck…! I still have things I wanna do and I didn't even touch a single boob yet, and then there's mom and dad...'

Then, somehow, time slowed down and stopped as a blue screen appeared in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere.

Time will now resume in 3... 2... 1!

And then, time resumed, and Issei felt a strange power welling up inside him.

He ignored and focused on saving himself by punching the first thug in the groin again, then the second one. Before both of them could react, he quickly bashed one in the head with his right knee and punched the other in the chest, putting all of his weight behind it.

Quickly, he finished them off with two more swift punches to the face, finally knocking them out, before dragging himself tiredly over to Aika. The young girl was agape with astonishment at the skills the famous Pervert had shown off.

"A-are you okay?" he asked, concerned and tired. She nodded and covered herself with her clothes as much as she could.

Issei realised that he was looking at her while she was half-naked without his consent. Ordinarily, he would have just kept staring until she slapped him, but considering that he'd just been in a fight, he was in no rush to take more damage. He turned his face away, taking a jacket from the thugs, and gave it to her. When she was ready to leave, Issei told her to not call the police, as that would lead to an interrogation which would waste his time. There was also no need for an ambulance, since those thugs weren't dead.

That, ladies and gentlemen, led them here.

««Flashback End»»

Issei and Aika walked together, neither speaking nor even starting a conversation. Aika seemed to hesitate once or twice, seemingly wanting to say something to him. Halfway through the walk, Aika finally spoke. "T-Thank you for... yeah. I-I just, it was scary... I thought I was g-gonna die..." her voice cracked, and tears started streaming down her cheeks. She covered her face from embarrassment, and she continued to cry. Issei felt... uncomfortable, and kind of confused as to what to do, since this was his first time actually dealing with a girl.

Sweat poured down his face, "H-hey, uh, it's okay now. I'm h-here?" He kind of asked himself rather than stated it and approached her in nervousness. He placed one arm around her shoulders, and she leaned onto him, making him feel relieved.

After a while, they arrived at her home. "Issei-kun, would you, y'know, like to stay for dinner? I have to thank you one way or another."

Issei blinked and sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, "Thanks for the offer, Kiryuu-san, but I have some, uh, other things to do tonight. I'm sorry."

She waved it off. "No, it's okay. Maybe another day, then?"

He thought of it for a while before thinking that there was no harm in it. "Sure. Sometime."

Heading home, Issei unlocked the front door and entered. The lights were off and his mother didn't call out her usual welcome, so his parents were probably out. He casually walked to the fridge to get some water, and as he drank, he read the tiny memo that was stuck on the fridge's door.

'We went to have a little date! Take care, we might be a little late~ Your precious mom!' It said. Issei shrugged as he finished drinking, before heading up to his room.

Issei sat down on his bed and sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. All the while, ever since he'd saved Aika from that alleyway, there was one thought running through his head.

"T-This can't be real..." he whispered, his eyes bugging out and his breathing becoming erratic, but then he suddenly felt a cold calmness washing over his body. Taking a deep breath, he looked over the screen again, lingering on the last item. "Sacred Gear? What's that? Well, if it costs nothing to scan for it, then...Yes."

"What the fuck?! Who's talking?! Oi!"

|I am down here, you dolt.|

Issei glanced down at his left hand and stared blankly at it. "What the fuck is a Dangam-like red gauntlet doing on my hand?"

|It's... the Sacred Gear. You don't know shit, do you? By the way, what's this thing?|

"...Huh? What the hell is happening?"

|Look, everything that-|

Ping!

Would you like an introduction to the Supernatural world? – Y/N

"Supernatural world? What the fuck...?" However Issei decided not to panic again this time, curiosity outweighing shock. So, he spoke. "Yes."

The Supernatural World.

Unknown to most of humanity, mythical creatures and beasts exist. Almost all knowledge of fairy tales, myths, and legends about Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, Gods, Magical Beats, etc. are very real. They exist within our worlds; they blend with us and inhabit different realms. The three most knowledgeable races are known as the Three Great Factions. or the Three Great Powers. Long ago, those Three Great Powers started a war with each other. The Fallen Angels were first to withdraw due to population loss. The Devils and Angels followed soon after. However, two dragons, specifically the Heavenly Dragons, have interrupted the war. The Three Biblical factions have formed a temporary alliance to slay those two Heavenly Dragons known as Ddraig and Albion. After succeeding in doing so, both dragons were sealed in Sacred Gears.

All current existing mythologies/factions:

Devil Faction
Angel Faction
Fallen Angel Faction
Greek Mythology
Norse Mythology
Egyptian Mythology
Native American Mythology
Celtic Mythology
Hindu Mythology
Irish Mythology
Shinto Mythology
Persian Mythology
Buddhism

Introduction to the Supernatural world has ended. Would you like the introduction of the Sacred Gear system? – Y/N

"...That's, uh, a lot to... take in. Damn. Gods?"

|That's right. I'm not entirely sure how you awakened me so soon without knowing any of this, but the fact of the matter is that you're entering the world of the supernatural. It's good to get all this information quickly.|

Sacred Gears are items of power created by the God of the Bible before his death. There are different types of Sacred Gears, and they are as follows:

State-Change Sacred Gears (Example: Boosted Gear)

Recovery Sacred Gears (Example: Sephiroth Graal)

Defensive/Counter-Based Sacred Gears (Example: Mirror Alice)

Longinus-Class Sacred Gears are the most powerful of all. They are as follows:

1. The True Longinus
2. Zenith Tempest
3. Annihilation Maker
4. Dimension Lost
5. Boosted Gear
6. Divine Dividing
7. Regulus Nemea
8. Canis Lykaon
9. Sephiroth Graal
10. Incinerate Anthem
11. Absolute Demise
12. Innovate Clear
13. Telos Karma

Each Longinus can only appear in one host at a time.

"Interesting. So, Ddraig, which Sacred Gear are you in?" He asked the dragon.

|Heh. The Boosted Gear, fella.|

"You for real? That ain't a joke, right?" asked Issei, growing excited.

|I have no reason to lie. The holder of the Boosted Gear is the Red Dragon Emperor, and I am the Red Dragon Emperor.|

"Whoa..." Issei marvelled at that piece of information. "So, am I dragon now, or, uh, something similar?"

|No, but you have draconic genes. Meaning that you'll act like a dragon at times and objects that have special effects on dragons will affect you too.|

Issei blinked, "Nice. I guess. So... how do I – wait, that System thing said that I have a Beginner Pack. So, where is it?"

Would you like to use the Beginner Pack? – Y/N

"Accept! Show me right now!"

Issei mused while observing the results, ignoring the fact that he just suddenly has 840 Yen out of nowhere. "I have 200 HP, double the amount of the HP I had at level 1. I also have double the amount of EXP to level up, which means that, most likely, the amount of EXP I need to continue my growth will double each level. I also have MP, which is Mana Points, if the context from the many video games I played is of any use."

|A correct observation, and I am curious about your skills. There should be a section for that, right?|

"Maybe? Skills." He called out, and there was a result.

"This is so fucking cool! I can enter an entire realm created by just a single command!" Exclaimed Issei as he raised both arms in the air, "I need to try this out."

|That does seem... strange. Even many much more powerful people failed to create a stable, unique dimension. That is... very unique and confusing.|

"Really? Thanks," said the young boy, "Anyway, I want to try this out, but before that..." He hopped off his bed and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, opening the fridge.

|What are you... doing?|

Issei suddenly grabbed an apple and stared at it carefully, clearly showing the desire to gain knowledge about this apple – this fruit. "I played a lot of video games, Ddraig. If my knowledge serves me correct, just like most games, I should be having a skill that allows me to do something special by...–"

"There we go. Now, let's try this." Said Issei as he bit into the apple, waiting for something specific to happen, and Ddraig waited with anticipation.

Nothing happened.

Issei sighed as he put the apple on the counter, "Well, I guess not everything is exactly like a video game." He cleared his throat and took a deep breath, "welp, no time better than the present. [I.D Create]."

I.D Create – Active – Lvl. 1
Dungeons currently available:

Empty – Lvl. MAX
Zombies – Lvl. 1

-5 MP per activation

"Zombies – Lvl. 1," said Issei. The world around him suddenly warped, the house around him crumbling away to leave him standing alone in a dreary, ruined city. There were broken windows, destroyed cars, and crippled streetlights. Issei stiffened when he saw two humanoid figures approaching him... but they were zombies – literal zombies, who had the words above them of 'Low-Tier Zombie' and their HP bars, which contained 100 HP.

Issei steeled himself as he ran forward, punching one of the two zombies right to the face, seeing the HP bar above the zombie's head move down to 87/100 HP. Issei understood that his attack was somewhat effective, but he couldn't celebrate just yet. The zombie beside the first one launched forward, mouth opened wide as it tried to bite Issei.

Issei dodged the attack narrowly, confirming that those zombies weren't as weak as they appeared. He grabbed the second zombie's head, trying his best to avoid the jaw, and smashed it onto the concrete as hard as he could, dropping its HP from 100 to 61 quickly.

He turned around and found the first zombie there, heading at him with his jaw wide open and both arms raised in the air. Issei crouched down and swiped his right leg, causing the zombie to fall on its head, which caused damage as the HP bar went down even further from 87 to 66 HP.

Issei looked around him and found a sharp piece of metal, most likely from a car door, around the size of a knife. "I could use this," he said before running forward and, with a battle cry, stabbed the metal piece into the two zombies' heads, their HP dropping rapidly.

Critical!

Finally, the boy stood up with ragged breath and watched as the bodies dissipated into dust, leaving behind some strangely glowing items.

Do you wish to pick up the loot? – Y/N

Issei's face scrunched in confusion, "Shouldn't there be the automatic loot function? Oh well, I'll check that out later. Yes." After accepting, the loot was identified by the System.

+310 ¥
+60 EXP

Issei checked his [Status] screen, seeing that he only needs 150 EXP more for a level up, which means that each zombie grants 30 EXP. In short, he has to kill approximately 4 more zombies to get stronger. "I gotta end, like, 4 or 5 more of those monsters. Ddraig, can I rely on your power here?" Said Issei as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead and grinned.

|Of course, Partner.|

|Boost!|

The familiar ping sound rang throughout his ears, but then Issei stared in confusion at the message that arrived.

Access to Boost has been restricted.
Requirements to activate Boost:

Reach Lvl 5.
Reach 20 VIT.

Issei sighed with a troubled expression as he pinched his nose. "So I need to get to level 5 and have at least 20 VIT to use Boost. Well, it doesn't sound impossible, it just means that I need to defeat more of those bastards!" He shot toward three more zombies that were already approaching him and instantly stabbed one of them in the eye.

Critical!

Their HP went down from 100% to 0 nearly instantly, which meant that the minimum amount of damage had to be around 33, most likely. Ignoring the numbers now, Issei realised that he could one-shot all the zombies if he attacked the head, or any other vital area, with full force. The boy looked at the two other zombies with a grin, before dashing towards them and ducking under one the bite that one zombie snapped at him. He slashed the back of its head violently, carving it open.

Just like its fellow zombies, this one turned to dust from that single attack, dissipating into nothing. Issei ignored the loot in favour of defeating even more zombies and rushed in, a grin on his face. "Show me what you're made of, suckahs!"

After a while, Issei sat down as he took several tired breaths while wiping off the sweat from his forehead and the rest of his face. He looked at the dropped loot of 11 zombies and decided to finally pick them up.

The boy blinked. "Using this piece of trash does less damage? How? I need to find how damage is dealt, and it's right... here!" Frowning, he began calculating how much damage it might do, using the explanations that the System had given him for how the damage was calculated. Despite his INT being listed as low in his Status, he HAD gotten into Kuoh Academy through dedicated studying. "…It deals almost the same amount of damage that I would deal, but I'm inexperienced in using a weapon, so it'd be barely any difference…" he trailed off with a sigh.

|So using your firsts is the best option currently,| finished Ddraig, |Now, are you going to check out your Status or not?|

"Oh, thanks for the reminder. Status."

"Right, now, I'm adding 3 into VIT and the last two straight up into STR. Next time, I'll add some into INT and AGI."

|The improvement is little, but it is there. You've only killed a total of 13 zombies, or 14. I don't believe that is enough to bring out the Boss or Mini-Boss, but this is good. You're already level 3, and you were at level 1 not even three hours ago.|

"Thanks for the motivation, but damn. I still have a long way to go." Issei stood up and stretched, before spotting three zombies heading his way. Up until now, he'd only found Low-Tier Zombies and nothing else. He concluded that they attacked with their jaws as their main tactic, while their arms can do a few scratches here and there, but that was it.

He really loved how his HP and MP would immediately restore when levelling up.

He took on a fighting stance and ran forward, punching the first zombie as hard as he could, bringing it down.

Critical!

"Well, this works just fine!" He watched as that zombie became dust, with loot being left behind on the floor. The boy threw his head back to dodge an incoming attack from a zombie, giving back some karma by punching that zombie in the face and then grabbed his head, and with the maximum amount of force he could muster, slammed the zombie down hard.

Critical!

Ignoring the loot that dropped, Issei locked eyes with the last zombie and dashed forward. He ducked under an attempted jaw bit then kicked the left shin, which caused the zombie to stumble backwards. Issei didn't miss this chance and grabbed a piece of glass, then he stuck it into his enemy's head repeatedly, causing another critical hit with tripled damage.

Would you like to pick up the loot? – Y/N

"Hell yeah, gimme."

+465 ¥
+90 EXP

"I need, uh, 70 EXP to level up, I think. The problem is the zombies don't just come at me all at once. They come in twos or threes, sometimes a group of four... I have to increase the numbers somehow," sighed Issei. The method he is using is very time-consuming and not sufficient, so he needs to find a way to make the zombies come faster... to...

Issei's eyes lit up as an idea flourished in his mind. He made his way to the nearest car, even if it was totally wrecked, and jumped atop of it.

|...What are you doing? You look like a monkey.|

Issei grinned as he grabbed two long, sturdy metal rods – ones small enough to be used as makeshift swords. "As far as I know from video games and movies, zombies are always attracted to some sort of loud noise or blood. I can't make a smell to attract them, but..." he raised both arms and swung down at the car with all his might, the vibrations coming from the sudden collision of the two metal surfaces echoed throughout the area he resided in.

In a rather attractive way – for zombies, that is.

Ddraig's eyes within the Boosted Gear showed clear surprise and amusement. |You're using the sound to bring them in. What a clever idea, Partner. Although will you be ready for the upcoming onslaught of zombies?|

Issei took a deep breath as he saw zombies flooding the street he produced the sound from at a rapid rate, from all directions. He inspected the two metal rods he held. They were jagged with a lot of sharp edges and ends here and there, making these two rods seem like a very rough and jagged flambard sword. "Yeah, I can do this! Let's go!"

He jumped down, adrenaline filling him as he swung both makeshift swords at the heads of 5 zombies, all of them dying from the critical damage bonus. Issei ducked and swung in the same action behind him, three zombies turning into dust.

He felt something sharp at his left knee, "fuck! That hurts!" A zombie bit him there – a crawler.

-10 HP!

Their attacks may range from 10-15 damage depending on where they attack. If they hit a critical when doing 15 damage, the total amount of HP Issei would lose is 45. Not too dangerous, considering he has 300 HP, but he should still try to avoid any injuries.

Stabbing the crawler through the head, Issei jumped backwards and shook his initial shock. He dove forward and swiped at two zombies from the side, dealing some damage as they were knocked a few meters away. The boy stabbed one of the rods at a crawling zombie in the head, killing it. He lifted the rod while it was stuck in the zombie and spun around, dealing damage to any zombie in a 3-meter radius, none of them critical, but they do make things easier for him.

Issei threw the crawling zombie away and grinned, "die, you rotten corpses!" He shouted as he ran forward, aiming to get stronger.

As Issei sat down, he laughed at the fruits he bore from killing all those grumpy and rotten zombies. His muscles felt strained and he felt fatigued. His shirt was covered in so much sweat and some blood, though not his own.

Would you like to pick up the loot? – Y/N

"Of course! I killed so many zombies already! Give me my shit!"

|The Boosted Gear is a very powerful weapon, Partner. Imagine if your STR is at just a measly 10 and you Boost yourself just 6 times, for example. Your STR will skyrocket from 10 to 640. You will be sought after for power, greed, and/or selfish gains of many individuals or groups out there, Partner. That is the fate that many of my wielders met, and so many other Sacred Gear wielders – even if they do not have a single shred of knowledge of the supernatural world. Some of my bearers deserved it, and some of them only had good intentions. Be careful, Partner. They may very well threaten you with your family, loved ones, or close friends, that is if you do not agree to join them. Should you refuse, there will be a large chance of them deciding to kill you just so that you "do not fall into enemy hands".|

Issei's face scrunched up in clear disgust and distaste to what the dragon inside of him just said, "Is that really the fate of any Sacred Gear holder? We didn't even do anything wrong to them!" Issei said, confusion and irritation evident in his voice.

Ddraig shook his head grimly, he had faced the same sentiment multiple times. |I know, and I understand what you're feeling, but you must be prepared for when they come, Partner. Not many will take it kindly when hearing that a Sekiryuutei is on the loose – even if you do not pose to them any immediate threat.|

Issei's hand balled into fists as he spoke with strong conviction and determination, "Never. I'll always protect my family and I will never allow any of those greedy bastards to lay a hand on us. They wanna use you, huh? We'll just have to show them the power of the Red Dragon Emperor!" Exclaimed the boy, and Ddraig laughed.
