"Daniel, I know that you're confused." Sirzechs began his attempt to explain but was cut short.

"Confused!?" Daniel snapped back.

"Of course I'm confused!" Daniel breathing started to become heavy as he held onto his head. "All my life I've been proud of who I am, now I don't even know what I am! This doesn't make any sense! I'm a human, not a Devil! How!?"

"Daniel." Sirzechs called out getting his attention. "I know this might be hard to believe but look at Grayfia, and then me. You have her hair and my eyes."

Daniel done as he was asked and upon looking at Grayfia and the colour of her hair, his eyes started to swell up. "I need a minute to get my head straight." Daniel stated before quickly leaving the room.

Once he was gone Sirzechs held onto Grayfia while Sera silently began to cry only to be comforted by Venelana. "Where's Millicas?" Rias asked as she couldn't see him.

(Daniel)

As Daniel tired to catch his breath outside on a balcony overlooking the back garden of the Gremory Mansion he held onto his head once more. 'I was born a Devil in this world... Dear God I was born a Devil.' Daniel thought to himself until he heard a voice call out to him.

"Does this mean that you're my big Brother then?"


The Born Again Fate of DxD - Chapter 12: The New Normal

(Monday 21st May - Evening)

As Daniel looked around his shoulder he seen the kid from the Dining hall he had just came from. If he remembered correctly he sat beside Grayfia. "At this point kid, I don't know if I am or not." Daniel sighed out as he replied.

Turning around Daniel had a better look at the kid in front of him before he sat down on the ground and leaned against the Balcony's banister. "What's your name kid?"

"It's Millicas." Millicas replied before he sat down beside Daniel.

"How old are you Millicas?" Daniel asked.

"I'm 9 years old. My birthday was two months ago. You're 28 right?" Millicas answered before he asked his own question.

"Yeah, birthday's in September... Or at least I think it was... I don't even know if even that's correct at this point." Daniel replied as he seen Millicas stare down at his feet awkwardly.

The two sat there in silence but Daniel noticed Millicas glance up at him every so often. Daniel had the feeling that the kid Millicas wanted to ask more questions. "Ask away kid."

Millicas stopped and looked up at Daniel with wide eyes, causing Daniel to smirk in response. "I might not know you all that well, but your body language is telling me you have more questions but you're stopping yourself from asking them."

Millicas remained silent for a few moments as he thought about what to ask first. "What's it like in the Human world?"

"You're gonna have to a little bit more specific." Daniel stated with the same smirk on his face. "There's a lot to tell you about the Human world."

Millicas smiled as he looked up at Daniel. "Then I want to know everything."

Millicas' response caused Daniel to start chuckling. The smile and excitement the kid was showing was something he wasn't expecting. "Well, they say the best way to tell a story is from the beginning. So I'll tell you about my home city, Derry."

After Daniel had told Millicas nearly everything about his life, he couldn't hold back his laughter when somehow Millicas managed to tell him about his Unlimited Blade Works. 'I'm can't believe this kid's managed to twist my arm like this.' Daniel groaned to himself as he fell for Millicas' puppy dog eyes.

"Can I see it?" Millicas asked with stars in his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Daniel asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. "It can be pretty scary when it's being activated."

Millicas didn't waste time as he vigorously nodded his head in excitement, only to get a pat on the head from Daniel. "I'll do it when we get back."

"Why's that?" Millicas asked in confusion with an added loss of enthusiasm.

Daniel was at a lost for a moment from Millicas' simple question before he responded. "As we've been talking, I've think I've gotten most of my own thoughts in order over this whole mess that's my life."

Rubbing Millicas' head he continued. "As I think my full family should also be there to witness my Reality Marble."

Daniel explained to Millicas before they both made their way back towards the Dining Hall. When they arrived Daniel noticed that Sera wasn't in the room.

When Grayfia noticed Millicas with Daniel she sighed out in relief. "Thank the Lords below you're safe."

"Sorry about the panic he might've caused." Daniel stated as he put on hand on Millicas' shoulder. "The kid's a lot smarter than what he looks. Made he tell more than what I should've said to him."

Sirzechs and Grayfia looked slightly worried but Daniel brought his hands up and chuckled. "It was nothing too bad, I assure you."

"But telling Millicas here about my life made me think about everything. I think it'll be best if we all have a seat." Daniel stated as he and the rest of the Gremory family sat down.

"I've taken a shot in the dark on why I'm human." Daniel stated as he lifted up his right arm and showed his command seal. "And it was this, that effectively cancelled out my Devilhood. I also guessed the reason Sera knew that she couldn't reincarnate me as a Devil was because you've already tried and the seal on my arm rejected all of the pieces."

Sirzechs and Grayfia both silently nodded a yes to Daniel's question causing him to sigh. 'So being born with a holy sword on the level that is Excalibur, somehow managed to cancel my natural born Devilhood. So it might be that is the reason i'm human.' Daniel confirmed his thoughts as he sighed out.

"When Grayfia was pregnant with you, our home was attacked by the Old Devil Faction. Myself and the rest of my Peerage managed to drive them back but... In doing so we had to leave Grayfia alone for a while and... Someone had injected Grayfia with something. However we knew that it was holy in origin." Sirzechs answered as he held onto Grayfia's hand.

"At first we thought it would poison both your and Grayfia's system but a report that Ajuka ran found nothing wrong. But then we began to panic over you. We figured that whatever Grayfia was struck with might've hurt you in some way... When we seen the mark you were born with we didn't know what it was, except that it was filled with Holy magic Grayfia was injected with. So much Holy energy in fact, it turned an unborn Devil into a Human." Sirzechs explained.

"At first we didn't know what to do. Ajuka was the one who confirmed that we couldn't reincarnate you." Sirzechs leaned forward and held onto his head. "So I had to do... The only thing that might be able to give you a normal life. Grayfia didn't talk to me until Rias was born just over ten years later."

"I'm still ashamed at what I done." Sirzechs finished as a tear fell from his eye.

"Do you know who it was?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow.

Both Grayfia and Sirzechs nervously looked at one another and at Zeo and Venelana. "It was someone who we both thought was long dead." Grayfia stated out as she kept her composure as best as she could. "It was my younger brother, Euclid Lucifuge."

"I... We both believed that Euclid had died during the Civil War. And so when I seen him approach Grayfia, his sister with open arms, we both believed he had come back. I had let my guard down just before he had struck. He even boosted that he had killed my child after he had done so." Sirzechs finished explaining.

Like Daniel, Rias and Millicas didn't seem to know this as the three were shocked into silence. 'My own Uncle did this to me... Did he know he was implanting Excalibur into me or was it just Holy Energy?' Daniel asked himself internally. But there was a different question he needed answered first.

"Then why did you abandon me? And why Derry? Why leave me in Northern Ireland during the late stages of the Troubles? It wasn't exactly a safest time or place to grow up in y'know." Daniel softly asked through his own shock.

"It was to protect you as best as we could. If you had stayed with us, only more Devils would've attempted to have taken your life. Despite how many we would've placed you under protection." Sirzechs answered as he softly began to chuckle but it sounded hollow. "And where better to hide the son of a Satan, than right under the Church's nose but far enough away from one of their strongholds. It was a lowly populated area but with a high influence from the Church"

Sirzechs' answer made Daniel lean back in his chair as he looked up towards the roof. "For nearly 30 years... I didn't know who you guys were. Most of that time I didn't care. I just thought that my parents seen me as an afterthought. A hinderance even... But it appears now that isn't the case. And it sickens me knowing the life I could've had."

"However, I can't change the past. It's already happened." Daniel stated out with a small hint of a smirk showing on his face. "But I can tell that you haven't lied during this whole chat."

"How can you tell?" Rias asked in confusion.

Daniel smirk grew larger as he looked over at Rias. "Cause if Sirzechs' ability to lie if anything like your own. Then the Father of Lies is a poor nickname for him."

"Speaking of Fathers though... I don't think I'll be fully able to call you Dad or be able to see you as my Father... I'm not a little kid anymore, and I'm my own man, I'm sorry but I don't think I have it in me after so long to just drop everything. Even after knowing the truth behind everything now." Daniel stated as he brought his head up and looked at Grayfia.

"I sorry to say the same to you as well Grayfia." Grayfia silently nodded in understanding as Daniel looked over at Venelana and Zeo. "I'm again sorry but it'll be the same for you both as well. However I won't say no to us at least being on some good terms at the very least."

"I believe all four of us understand." Grayfia stated out as Sirzechs, as they both sadly smiled at Daniel. "Just know that if you ever need us, we'll be there."

"And that you have no idea how proud we all are to see the man that you've grown up into. Sera is lucky to have someone like you." Sirzechs continue'd.

"She had told us everything on how you both had meet. Father was a bit miffed that he had missed the connection when he interviewed you for the position within the school as well." Sirzechs, Daniel and Zeo all chuckled at this, although for Zeo it sounded more awkward as Venelana smiled at her husband.

"Just don't blame her, for our mistakes... She had already fallen for you before she discovered who you were." Sirzechs finished as Daniel softly smiled back at him.

"That another mess I'll be most likely dealing with after this." Daniel sighed before he looked over at Rias, he could see the mischief growing in her eyes. "The pun's fully intended here, there's no hope in hell I'm calling you auntie Rias."

"And here I was hoping to spoil another little nephew." Rias responded back with a chuckle of her own as they all noticed Daniel look over at Millicas.

"But I think out of everything that's been said and done. I wouldn't be fair if I didn't see you as a little brother. You're still young enough for us to have that kind of relationship." Daniel smiled along with everyone else present, he looked over at Sirzechs. "For what it's worth Sirzechs, thank you for the giving me a normal life."

Daniel took a deep breath before he began talking. "I neither hated nor enjoyed my childhood. But it wasn't because I was left alone."

"The cause of it was my Magic or Magecraft. Most of the Nuns and Monks that ran the orphanage seen me as nothing more than a Pagan freak. Only five people were ever close to me when I was a kid and only one of them is still alive. We became Blood Brothers growing up together, and we swore to always be there for one another."

"That is gonna be a little harder for me now since not only am I dating a Satan, I'm also the son of one as well. And in the fact he's an Exorcist and it'll be a fun Family dinner if that ever takes place." Daniel explained as he drily chuckled.

"Funny how the life I lived though still lead me back here." Daniel stated as he continued to chuckle.

"The magic you have." Grayfia spoke out to Daniel for the first time that day. "We've never seen anything like it. None of us have anything close to resembling it either."

"None of you have my type of Magic?" Daniel asked in confusion.

"No, our Magic is different entirely. Sirzechs has the same power as Rias and Lady Venelana, The power of Destruction, while I have powers over Ice Magic." Grayfia replied.

"Huh..." Daniel stated out loud in slight shock. "Nothing to do with swords... Maybe it's to do with this then?" Daniel asked himself out loud as he rubbed his hand over the command seal.

"Either way, you're right in saying that my magic is not in any way ordinary. Rias already knows a bit about it and Millicas managed to... Blackmail more information out of me." Daniel words caused Millicas to look embarrassed as Grayfia raised an eyebrow at her youngest son.

"Don't be too hard on him. Puppy dog eyes are lethal weapons, especially when they're in the hands of someone who knows how to use them... But I was already contemplating on telling you all this anyway if I was told the truth. And I was..." Daniel took a deep breath before he continue'd. "The truth of my Magic comes from something called a Reality Marble."

"I can't remember when I first created it, but it's creation is a major taboo amongst Mages and Magicians. Creating one to equivalent to committing a sin against the God and Magic itself." Daniel stated out which brought a confused look on Rias and Millicas while the adults looked shocked.

"I guess committing a sin against God was the inner Devil in me all along." Daniel chuckled at his poor joke as the adults joined in.

"Sorry for not knowing much about this particular Magic but, what's a Reality Marble?" Rias asked.

"You won't find this knowledge in books as it's only taught through word of mouth. But a Reality Marble is in it's most basic description, is Projection Magic on steroids... Only instead of an object being created, someone's inner world is Projected. Or to word it differently, it's a gateway into someone's Soul."

"And Millicas told me that he wanted to see my Unlimited Blade Works." Daniel stated as he smirked at Millicas, causing the kid to get slightly excited.

"What's your Unlimited Blade Works?" Venelana asked.

"It's the name that I've given to my Reality Marble." Daniel answered as he stood up. "It'll be best if everyone is standing for this part."

"Just a heads up though... Promise not to freak out." Lifting his left hand up, Daniel began his incantation. "I am, the Bone of my Sword."

"Steel is my flesh." Small flames slowly began to appear around Daniel. "With Fire in my Veins."

"My soul holds over a thousand blades." The flames began to spread out. "But only one will I ever hold."

"My mind has known death" As the flames spread out they came into contact with Rias first, but she never felt any pain. "Yet, I do not fear its arrival."

"Unaware of my Beginning" The flames contiune'd to spread out soon everyone was engulfed by them. "Nor how my Story ends."

"So hear my Prayer" They watched on silently as Daniel kept going. "And witness my miracle!"

"My Unlimited Blade Works!" With the final part of his incantation said. The flames began so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes for protection as they were pulled into Daniel's Reality Marble.

(An Hour Later)

When he arrived in the room back in the room he had woken up in, he was surprised to find Sera waiting for him. "I thought you had left." Daniel stated out as he walked over to Sera.

Sera appeared to be preparing herself for something, most likely a talk down from Daniel. But when he wrapped his arms around her, she flinched. "Wha... What are you doing?" Sera asked in confusion. She wasn't expecting this.

"Hugging my Girlfriend... She looked like she needed one." Daniel replied with a chuckle.

"So... you're not mad then?" Sera asked in confusion.

"Oh don't get me wrong. I am pissed beyond belief." Daniel stated once more caused Sera to flinch. "But I'm not rash and I can't just forget about the five years that we've been together."

"This is just a hurdle we'll have to face." Daniel stated.

"It's a pretty big one though. I mean you're the son of two of the few friends I have." Sera mumbled in Daniel's chest. "And I kept that away from you."

"I don't care about that. I don't know them, and they don't know me. As long as we don't have any other major secrets between each other." Daniel replied with another short chuckle.

"I don't have any more." Sera stated as she looked directly at Daniel.

Daniel smiled back and kissed her fore head, holding her tightly again after. 'Yeah, but I can't tell you I'm from another world... It'll only shatter this world if it's found out.' Daniel solemnly thought to himself.

"By the way, there'll be no sex for the next month." Daniel drily stated out which caused Sera to flinch and look up with puppy dog eyes. "That aint gonna work either."

This didn't wave off Sera though as she kept up her adorable attack on Daniel's will. "Sorry Sera. That aint gonna work this time."


(Wednesday 23rd May - Morning)

After spending another night in the Underworld, Daniel arrived back in the Human world on Tuesday afternoon. His talk with Sera that followed that first night he found out that Asia had woken up the evening of Rias and Riser's failed wedding, and with her help Issei had woken up on the Sunday.

But a lot of other events had been happening in the Underworld since his fight with Riser. The fist was that the entire Underworld knew who he was, or rather who Daniel Lucifuge was. Both the Gremory and Phenex family both provided this name and revealed him as the long lost son of Sirzechs Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge who they had both believed to have been dead. Though this had brought both good and bad news.

The good news was the he no longer had to fight to prove he could be in a relationship with Sera. The bad news was Lady Sitri herself. When she found out who he actually was, her enthusiasm for grandkids scarred him. Sera had somehow managed to calm her mother's efforts which almost ended with her locking them both in the same room together until Sera was pregnant. Not that anything would've happened with Daniel's ban on any sex for the next month.

With that miniature crisis averted, the next morning Grayfia had asked if he could look after Millicas from time to time. Daniel will always remember her smile when he happily agreed and said he would visit as often as he could. Knowing now that she was his mother, in the back of his mind it felt a little bit more difficult to not go along with what she was saying.

Also according to Grayfia, the Phenex family wouldn't be requesting any action taken against him for turning Riser into a Human. Riser however was now shattered, his beliefs destroyed along with everything he once held dear. But his Father seemed to be under the illusion that this would only make him a better King once he was granted back his rights to a being a Devil.

Daniel felt that he shouldn't be given it back at all as a proper punishment. But since it wasn't his right to say who could or couldn't become a Devil, it wasn't his business. This was more along the lines of Sera's and Sirzechs expertise.

He was told by Rias during their meeting that everyone had been back in school on Monday expect both him and herself but for different reason. She informed him that he was marked as absent after being involved in a small accident. Meanwhile she was absent for a family issue and only missed school for the one day.

Daniel ended up missing two, so as he walked back into his Homeroom some of his students rushed over to ask their questions.

"Are you okay Sensei?"

"How bad was the accident?"

"You get any scars? Chicks dig scars y'know!"

"Alright, alright, calm down please." Daniel replied back with his hands raised. "Thank you for all the concern but I'm fine. Otherwise I wouldn't back here so soon."

"Nice to see you back Sensei." Aika Kiryuu, Class 2-B's Class President stated with a smirk as she stood from behind his desk.

"Nice to see you as well Kiryuu-san. I hope doing role call wasn't too much for the last two weeks?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Naw... I'm just annoyed I never got to abuse my power as Class President yet." Aika replied with a grin causing Daniel to groan.

"I don't need a reminder of your speech to get most if not all of the Girl's votes." Daniel groaned out before pointing at her seat. "But I'll be taking this duty back off your hands."

Aika nodded as she moved back to her seat. As Daniel looked over and around his classroom he noticed the thankful look on Issei and Asia's face before he began taking role call for his class. He did though miss the intense look that Aika Kiryuu was sending him as he read out the names of his students.


(Afternoon)

Entering the ORC room, Daniel was surprised to see he was the first to arrive as he placed down a set of papers before he sat down on the sofa facing the window. 'Just give me 5 minutes.' He thought to himself as he leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Boo." The monotone voice of Koneko called out behind Daniel causing him to jump up into the air.

"Son of a bitch." Daniel groaned out in English as he held onto his neck, having tweaked it when jumping.

"You jumped." Koneko stated out in what Daniel guessed was confusion. "You weren't supposed to jump."

"Well, I had to shut down the Bound Field before Riser came here." Daniel replied drily as he lightly glared at Koneko. "I didn't want to end up with a major headache."

"Probably shouldn't have done that." Koneko stated. "Trouble always seems to be following you."

"Thanks for the reminder." Daniel groaned as he sat back down and reactivated the Bound Field. "And for the record. I'm blaming you kids. 6 years of living here in Kuoh and it's this year when shit started happening all the bloody time."

"So I'm not the magnet for trouble. You kids are." Daniel finished as he grumbled. "Now I have to deal with the bane of all Teachers."

When both Rias and Akeno arrived into the room they both overheard Daniel's last comment. "What's that Sensei?"

Daniel in response sighed as he lifted up the pieces of paper that was left on the coffee table. "Administrative Paperwork."

"I'm guessing Sona left those for you." Akeno asked.

"Left? She handed them over to me during class with a god damn smile on her face." Daniel replied with a groan. "This is two weeks worth of paperwork that I have to fill out in a few hours. So congrats, you're all helping."

"Yeah, I don't think so." Rias answered with a smirk as she sat down behind her desk.

"Oh my, it seems that Buchou is enjoying her nephew's struggles." Akeno giggled

"Please don't call me that. I'm nearly twice her age for fucks sake." Daniel groaned as he began his paperwork.

"Hey guys!" Issei greeted the room as he entered with Aisa and Kiba. "Hey Sensei."

"Suuup." Daniel drawled out as he lazily waved at the trio.

"Is Sensei okay?" Issei asked Rias as he stood beside her.

"He's dealing with 2 weeks worth of Paperwork for both the Club and his classes that Sona gave him." Rias answered as she smirked.

"Set." Daniel called out summoning multiple Black Keys and pinning the ORC members in place. Slowly Daniel walked over to Rias' desk and dropped a small pile of papers on it.

"You've not had a Staff adviser for 2 years before I started. I'll inform Sona that you'll be filling these out." Daniel stated before he walked towards the exit.

"Are you serious!?" Rias asked as she struggled to move.

But with a click of Daniel's fingers the Black Keys disappeared. "As a Heart attack." Daniel replied with a smile. "Good luck."

'Now for a much needed drink.' With those final words, Daniel left the ORC room.

"Well... It's nice to see that Sensei is still an asshole." Issei stated out loud which he only received a groan from Rias.


(Evening)

When Daniel arrived back home a little drunk, all he wanted to do was collapse on his bed and sleep for the next week. While his wounds had all fully healed he was still feeling some phantom pains now and then during the day. Thankfully it didn't take away from his work much, it just was starting to get on the end of his wits.

But he never got that rest as Sera was waiting for him in her pink pyjamas. "You feeling okay?" Sera asked with concern.

"Yeah, just a rough day back at work is all. And a bit of drinking." Daniel replied as he kissed Sera's cheek.

"I can smell that." Sera drily stated as he covered his lips with her index finger.

"But if you're still feeling some pain, I'll do an extra healing session for your body tonight just in case." Sera replied as she held onto his hand.

As the duo were about to head to bed upstairs, there was a knock on Daniel's door. Opening the door Daniel seen a blond haired man with small goatee beard dressed in black suit with white clerical collar. It was his brother Killian standing there. "Killi? What are you doing here?" Daniel asked with a smile on his face. "It's good to see you."

"Well, I was about to start a small job in Kyoto and was in the neighbourhood. So I decided to pop on by and see my big Brother." Killian replied with a smile of his own as the two fist bumped.

"Oh, and I also found this little missy watching your home as well." Killian stated as he lifted up a small blonde hair girl dressed in a Miko outfit.

The girl was kicking and throwing her small fists all over the place but wasn't able to strike Killian. "Will you put me down!" The small girl exclaimed out.

Daniel watch all this with a slacked jaw, unable to think of what was the right thing to say. "You'd best come inside in case anyone sees this." Daniel stated as Killian and the small girl entered his home.

"Daniel... Why is there an Exorcist in your home and why is he here with Kunou?" Sera asked with a weary tone in her voice.

"Sera-nee?" The now named Kunou stated out in surprise as she looked over at Sera. In the blink of an eye, two blonde fox ears and nine tails appeared from Kunou's body.

"Why's the Chibi-Kyuubi here calling you Sera-nee?" Daniel asked with a confused look.

"I'm the head of Foreign Affairs for the Underworld. We've been in contact with the Youkai Faction for years. I've known her since she was a kid. Now answer the damn question!" Sera snapped at Daniel who quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Easy Sera, it's okay. This is my brother Killian, we grew up together." Daniel replied back to a weary looking Sera before looking back at his brother. "And I'm still figuring out the answers to that last question, my head's just running a little slow at the moment."

"Oh Lords bellow, he didn't kidnap her did he?" Sera asked with horror in her eyes. "Dan, she's the daughter of the Youkai Faction's Leader!"

"She's what!? Dude, did you kidnap her!?" Daniel asked as he instantly sobered up with the same horrified look Sera had.

"Look I know it looks bad, but I swear on getting a beating from Sister Devlin in Heaven that I didn't kidnap her!" Killian exclaimed out as he dropped Konou and raised his hands in a pose of surrender. "I noticed that she was starring pretty hard at Danny's home when I was walking to the door. I asked her what she was doing and she didn't answer."

"So naturally you then thought to take of her own free will and bring her into my home." Daniel sarcastically stated out to his brother.

"Yes?... Maybe?.. T-there's no right answer is there... Oh shit, I really did kidnap her." Killian stated with wide eyes as he let go of Kunou who quickly hid behind Sera.

"I'm in so much trouble for this." Killian groaned out as he held his head within his hands.

"To be honest yeah... You're kinda fucked." Daniel drily replied in his English to his brother's statement as he didn't want Kunou to hear him swearing.

"Well let's..." Killian cut himself short when he finally noticed who was the woman was that was standing beside Daniel.

'So he's finally noticed the other elephant in the room.' Daniel drily thought to himself. He loved his brother but most of the time he was an idiot and a headache to deal with.

"Umm. Danny... Why is the Satan, Lady Leviathan in your home?" Killian asked nervously as he slowly backed away from Sera who was smirking at him. "And why is she in her PJ's?"

"What?.. Can't a devil be comfy?" Sera stated out as she kept her smirk.

"Yeah about that..." Daniel drily chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Killi, allow me to introduce you to Serafall Leviathan." Daniel replied with a smile as he wrapped his arm around Sera's waist. "My girlfriend."

Killian could only watch with wides eyes as they kept changing between Daniel and Sera. "Wow... You're dating one of the Four Satans... Balls of Steel dude." Killian stated with a shocked look on his face as Kunou silently nodded her heads in agreement.

"I agree... You're either braver or dumber than he is." Kunou stated out beside Sera who couldn't help but chuckle.

"There are times when I have to agree with that statement Ku-tan." Sera softly laughed before sighing out loud.

"I'll get to you later missy." Daniel sighed as he pointed at Kunou. Holding his held with his right hand be began rubbing his forehead. "I can only deal with one headache at a time."

"Hey Buddy! What say you Silver King of Archers! Up for some late night fishing and drinking?" Azazel asked as he teleported into Daniel's kitchen. Two fishing rods and a bucket over his left shoulder, while he held onto a plastic bag with some beer cans in his right hand.

He froze in place though when he noticed Serafall Leviathan and Kunou standing in front of him. "Oh... Bad timing I see."

"Dan, why is the Leader of the Fallen Angels in your home, and why is he addressing you like he's a lifelong friend?" Sera asked in confusion.

"He's not." Daniel replied back with a sigh as he rubbed his forehead. His response only caused Sera to question his answer. "Don't give me that look. It's not like I can do much to stop him either."

"Give me one of those cans." Daniel stated as he pointed at the Bag Azazel was holding.

"Sure thing." Azazel replied as he threw Daniel a can of Beer. Taking a quick swig Azazel raised an eyebrow at Daniel. "You seem to be having a lot in your plate."

"At this point I don't care." Daniel replied with a glare before someone else entered.

"Sensei!" The Class President of Daniel Class 2-B, Aika Kiryuu shouted out as she burst into him home. "I want you to teach me how to use Magic!"

"Okay Danny, this is started to get a little crazy." Killian stated out in English with wide eyes.

"Ya think?" Daniel rhetorically replied to his brother with a groan. 'Maybe Koneko was right and I am a magnet for trouble.'

Her exclamation was greeted with surprise from the others in the room. "I didn't know you were talking any students in the mystic arts." Azazel stated out with a grin aimed at Daniel.

"I'm not." Daniel drily snapped back as he glared at the Fallen Angel.

"Sorry Sensei. It seems that I might not have come at the best time." Aika meekly stated as she pushed to the side as someone else walked right into Daniel's home.

"Hello my little lover boy. Nice to see that you're back in town." Scáthach called out to Daniel with a flirtatious smirk. She was no longer in the hoodie from the night before and was now dressed in an overly revealing strapless dress that hugged her figure.

Gáe Bulg clearly seen resting over her right shoulder. Daniel slowly began to pale as could feel Sera glare aimed at the back of his head. He slowly turned around, knowing that he'd have to face her.

"Little lover boy?" Sera asked with her arms crossed and a raised eyebrow. "Didn't we recently agree not to be keeping secrets from one another? So can you tell me who this woman is? And why she's called you her little lover boy?"

So here stood Daniel Cole. Stuck in a room with an Exorcist from the Catholic Church that was also his Brother, who had kidnaped someone who was more or less a Youkai Princess, The Governor General of the Grigori Azazel, his Student Aika Kiryuu who wanted to be trained in the Magical Arts, the Queen of the Land of Shadows Scáthach and his Girlfriend who just so happened to be the Satan Leviathan.

All of them for a few silent seconds kept switching their view between Daniel and the door. When one one else arrived they all settled their eyes on Daniel. 'Well... This has quickly turned into a clusterfuck.' Daniel groaned internally. 'I'm gonna need more alcohol to deal with this.'

So he said the only thing that made sense in his mind. "I can explain... I hope."


(Omake - Just before the Riser Arc)

Sitting down in front of the Quay in Kuoh Docks, both Azazel and Daniel were taking part in some late night fishing.

None of them seemed to be catching anything as the pair sat in silence.

"Hey." Daniel called out breaking the silence.

"Yeah." Azazel grunted back as he kept his focus on his fishing line.

"Why are we here?" Daniel asked in confusion.

"Well, It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why are we here? " Azazel replied before he continued. "I mean was this really all part of Father's plan. Was I meant to fall when Father created me. Was war always inevitable. Sometimes I keep myself up at night with these thoughts."

"You know, Daniel, I once didn't care about all this. I just wanted to spend my time on the creation of Artificial Sacred Gears. And when any orders came, I just went along with them and hoped that everything would work out for me. But after all that's happened to me, you know what I asked myself? Was it at any way avoidable."

Once Azazel had finished retelling his existential crisis, Daniel didn't know wither he should take the Leader of the Fallen Angels seriously or not. But then he realised this man was a fucking troll.

"That's great and all but, it's not what I meant. What I meant was, why are we here Fishing? We've been here for three hour and have caught fuck all." Daniel drily replied back.

"All part of God's plan." Azazel chuckled in response.

"That's not a good enough reason." Daniel grumbled in defeat as he put out his hand to Azazel. "Pass me another beer."

As Azazel passed over a beer can to Daniel, the Mage quickly opened and took a sip. "Just like it was God's plan for you to motorboat Lady Leviathan's chest."

Spiting out the beer he was drinking, Daniel glared at the laughing Azazel. "You have five seconds to run. Or else God's plan will involve my size 12 foot up your ass." Daniel growled out as he glared at the still chuckling Azazel.

"There isn't a sword you have that could make you overpower me." Azazel's smug tone caused Daniel to flinch in anger.

"I can still try. Trace on." Daniel called out as he created a single handed broadsword. It's base near the handle was far wider and more detailed. Chuckling after creating the sword, Azazel was a little worried at first, but what happened next scarred him for the rest of his life.

Lifting the sword above his head, Daniel cried out. "By the Power of Greyskull!"

A bolt of lightning appeared from the skies above and stuck Daniel, His body became larger, his muscles were more pronounced. Azazel could swear he heard a voice shouting out He-Man in the distance. "I HAVE THE POOOWWWEEERRR!"

Azazel sweat profusely slowly started to back away as Daniel now towered over him, standing now at 7ft, 2ins. "There's an old saying, as the crow flies."

Daniel calmly stated out before he grabbed a hold of Azazel's head in his massive palm. "However, it looks like this bird needs to have it's wings clipped."


And that's a wrap of Season 1!

Anyway though what a car crash that'll leave you all for the next chapter lol. Sorry for not revealing the inner world of Daniel's Reality Marble but it's being saved up for Season 2! And to confirm Season 2 will just be starting off with an original story arc.

This chapter's Q&A!

1) Who is going to be in Daniel's harem? Or is this just a Serafall/OC story? Once more it's a Harem with Serafall, Scáthach, Rossweisse and Yasaka

2) Is Daniel going to get a peerage? Can't say. Spoiler if I answer yes or no. Sorry.

3) When Daniel changes race or bloodline will his parents be a factor of what he is going to become? Nope they won't.

4) Why is Excalibur Rapidly, Laevatein? You are right in saying it's part of Norse Myth. Now the other swords you had mentioned, Strange Hangings and Arondight are already a part of the story arc I have planned out so I couldn't use them.

In the Legends, Percival's sword was never named. So I had used Laevatein as it was used in a game for Ser Percival's sword. Sonic and the Black Knight.

5) Why turn Riser into a Human? Rule Breaker doesn't work like that? With the Evil Pieces it is possible. Because Riser's King Piece was crafted with his demonic energy, whose to say that once it was removed by Rule Breaker that he couldn't become a Human. Rule Breaker can't be used to the same effects and Angels or Fallen until the Brave Saints come into effect.

6) Why didn't Cole lend Rias's peerage a holy weapon or cursed weapon to deal with Riser's regeneration? Because it wouldn't have been allowed. It would've been direct influence from someone outside of the two peerages.

7) Why did you make Daniel act like a teenager when he was told who his parents were? In reality this isn't as far fetched as you all seem to be making it out as. So imagine you are in Daniel's shoes on this one.

You're in a world that you know some (NOT ALL) of the events that will happen, and you have just taken part in the last event that you knew would happen. Suddenly, your view of the world as an outsider (Being reborn from another world) has been shifted making look at the world in the wrong light all along.

Now you start questioning yourself, if you are in fact even real or not. Was this person who you are, actually part of cannon (He's not but doesn't know that because he didn't have any actual knowledge of the world.)

What would you have done in this case? Because again, and people seem to forget this. He has had over 28 years of knowledge in this world. This sudden changes make him now question everything he has ever known. Not just about this world but also himself. This will effect him mentally.

He doesn't view himself as a fictional character in this world, he knows that he is alive. He's lived in this world before these events took place. Mind you it's only been for 9 years but he memories of 25 years in this world. So he does the only thing he could do to prevent himself having a full on panic attack and left the room to get his own thoughts straight.

8) Was this planned from the start, originally? Yes.

Chapter 1 - Hair and Eye colour was revealed that was the same shade as Grayfia's hair and Sirzechs eyes. And I also stated this in the Aurthor's Notes at the end of the chapter. "Daniel's parents are known in this world."

Chapter 5 - Sera says that "And it's a good thing he never inherited his parent's power."

Chapter 7 & 8 - Daniel's first interaction with Grayfia and Sirzechs. At first he was about to leave soon after he arrived but Sirzechs' desire to meet and talk with his son, even if Daniel didn't know it at the time prompted him to ask Daniel to stay.

Chapter 9 - Grayfia and Sirzechs visit Sera over dating Daniel.

Also the reason Lady Sitri didn't notice was because when she seen him sleeping with Sera in Chapter 10, his right arm (The one with the command seal) was being used by Sera as a head rest and her hair was covering the Command Seal.

It's honestly made me laugh at the Reviews by saying that it's Random as fuck when in fact it hasn't been. It's been in front of everyone since the beginning, It only began to take place more after chapter 5. So this wasn't a random drop. I like the leave things between the lines if you all haven't spotted by now.

Fun Fact: Did you know that I've already laid out a future story line in chapter 10? Cause no one's spotted that either. What are the going bets I'll get review's saying that was also random as fuck when it's dropped as well?

Sorry for turning your answer into a rant but there were a lot of reviews over this question.

9) How was Daniel able to stomp Riser so easily? For Several Reasons. Firstly Riser never trained a day in his life. Rias is the same. For Sera, Sirzechs and Grayfa they each took part in a Civil War so they had to become stronger if they wanted to survive, The only ones who wish to grow stronger that are Devils are reincarnated Devils. (Well except for Sairaorg of course, But since he's a half devil due to having a Scared Gear it's questionable if he really counts or not.)

Secondly the power scale I made in Chapter 3 (Which most of you loved #Sarcasim) shows Riser above Daniel. Why is that you ask? Well simply because Daniel has less power on the scale when compared to Riser. The difference between the two is Daniel knows how to use his power al most wisely in order to ensure he wins.

And finally Shirou and Archer's ability to project swords and weapons isn't what make him powerful. It's the ability to call forth Weapons that will allow him to ensure his victory. Daniel even said that if he were to use only Holy Swords it would've been too easy for him. The only Holy Sword he used was Caladbolg and it was a one shot kill. Even Clarent, a Holy Sword that was turned into a Demonic one still left a visible scar on Riser that will remain on him. Along with other scars left by Caladbolg.

Could this mean he could do the same to Sera, Sirzechs and Grayfia. yes it is possible, but they are far more powerful than what Riser ever could be and will posse a far more difficult challenge to Daniel as they are faster, stronger and far more experienced than him. So it's a different scenario as in order to beat them he would have to use Unlimited Blade Works and the question being asked isn't if Daniel could beat them. It would be if they could survive his Reality Marble.

10) Why is adding someone younger than Daniel a no go for his Harem? Because the majority of the character in DxD are under the age of 18. And add the fact that he's a teacher and has been for two lives and it's going to be a little weird for him. Not all teachers fuck their students y'know. And as for Kuroka, I'm just not interested in her character, it's a simple as that.

So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. No spoiler question though. they won't be given full answers. But anyway thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
