chapter one: first change

She was frightened. But was doing her best to keep a serious expression. She couldn't fool me, the slight tremor in her hands gave her away. Small beads of sweat were trickling down her face, as she lightly squeezed my right hand. Late at night, it was understandable that there was no hint of light in the place. It just made it a little more frightening. If you were to ask two kids what they were doing up late at night, they would most likely respond with that they wanted to go to the bathroom or something. However, my partner and I were "escaping" from this place. In the orphanage where I lived, there were a hundred of us children. We were brought to this church a week ago. We did not know the exact reason, although I suspected that something good would not be. Great was my surprise when I found out that we were going to be the offering in a ritual to invoke the grace of the god that these people worshipped. I tried to warn my classmates, but none of them believed me, they thought they were going to be adopted by some exorcists or start living in the church. Only one of them, my best friend, stayed to listen to me.

Asia argento, she was a blonde girl with green eyes, her somewhat pale skin color and thin pink lips, made her look like a doll. And they were not so far from reality. When I first met her, she had virtually no emotion on her face. Many children told me to stay away from her and avoid her. Because they thought she was a witch and would curse them all. Kid stuff, I guess. Apparently Asia possessed a strange power that allowed her to heal wounds to a point where they practically never existed. Another thing that made me realize that I was in another world.

I could find no reason why I shouldn't approach her, after all children don't have to be alone and make those kinds of expressions, so I stubbornly approached her whenever I could, if not all the time, to chat or play with Asia. I was reluctant at first, but it only took a week of continuous harassment (I know it may sound bad, but it's not) for her to come out of her shell and welcome me as her first friend.

The truth is that they didn't want to use everyone for the offering. Well, everyone except Asia, as I heard they needed her Sacred Gear, something I didn't know what it was, but I attributed it to her power. I couldn't leave her with these people, who knew what they would do with her later. So I came up with a plan to escape from here. I wanted to take the other children with me, but if I wanted to get Asia safely out of here, then that was not an option. They were in another room, somewhat far from where Asia and I were, so it would be too dangerous to go looking for them and try to get out of here with a large group of children. Besides, I wasn't close to them, in the year I've been at the orphanage, since they found out I was friends with the witch they ignored me. It was just kid stuff, I told myself. But the older ones, the ones between thirteen and sixteen years old, did the same thing.

This is the reason why Asia and I were walking through the large halls of the church at this time of night.

"Sieg-chan, are we going the right way?" her light whisper was enough to interrupt my thoughts. I noticed the path, we are in front of the hall where the priests were praying, that just meant we were close to the exit.

"Yes, we are almost out of this place" I whispered back.

Because of the moonlight coming through the window, I could notice his slight smile. It was no secret that neither of us liked this place. people behaved in a strange way, which annoyed us. As if they were not sincere enough with their actions, as one would expect from members of the holy church. Although I'm not sure if this place can be considered holy at all.

I squeezed Asia's hands a puco when I caught a glimpse of what would be our ticket out. It was purely by chance that I found it. But I was glad I did. A small passageway hidden behind the wall, from the outside it looked like a normal brick wall, but if you stretched out your hands you could walk through it.

"This way" I whispered to my companion. Receiving her nod we walked through the "wall".

"wow" I heard Asia whisper in amazement. Making the same expression as I did the first time.

The passageway was a bit narrow and all the light that was there before was now extinguished, I felt Asia's grip tighten a bit, but I continued walking straight, if we kept going we would come out the back of the church.

It wasn't long before we were out of the passage and by extension out of the church.

Ahead of us, a lush and extensive forest stretched beyond our sight. Now I wasn't sure whether to continue or not. We had to get out of here, that was a fact, but if we went into the forest without any knowledge of where we were going we could be in danger of getting lost, or worse, attacked by some wild animal.

"Sieg-chan come on, if anything happens to you I will heal you" Asia looked at me and waved her hands confidently. I nodded to her and counting to three we walked towards our possible freedom.

But in reality deep inside we knew, we denied it as we walked out of our room and tried to get out of the church. It would never be that easy.

At the top of the church, a hooded woman illuminated only by moonlight, stared where Sieg and Asia had gone.

"kukuku, apparently they are brave enough to think about escaping, plus it seems to be he's taking the [twilight healing] user with him. Well the kid is of no use to us, so I'll kill him, but not before having some fun. I'll let them walk away so that their screams of pain and agony won't be heard all over the place. kukuku this will be fun" he looked at his watch and waited patiently until the second hand went back to 12 o'clock.

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of our breathing and the rustling of the leaves as we stepped on them, we were walking in a hurry, but we didn't dare to run even though it was the logical thing to do in this situation. But not knowing exactly where we were going and in an unknown place, we felt that the moment we ran something terrible would happen.

Asia looked around cautiously, the grip on my hand that I had had since we left our room had not been removed or loosened.

I hadn't yet thought about what we would do when we made it to safety, but really that couldn't worry me any less at this moment, not when I felt, no, I knew something was wrong.

"Sieg-kun" apparently that feeling was also shared with my blonde companion.

"I know, I can't properly say what it is, but I feel like something or someone isn't watching" I whispered more out of caution than fear of being overheard.

Without realizing it we increased the pace of our steps.

We could hear him.

Our pursuer increased his.

My heart was racing in panic, I knew this was not going to be easy. Asia and I looked at each other and after several seconds we nodded. Taking a deep breath we began to run.

"kukuku, so you noticed he, well it's not like I was trying to be discreet" we ignored the almost maniacal laughter or what he said next, out of the corner of my eye I could see who was chasing us. White hair and red eyes, accompanied by a psychopathic smile.

And for a second I cursed the gods for my luck.

Freed Sellzen, I had seen him a few times hanging around the "church" harassing the sisters and asking for dates or directly having sex with them. A crazy, disgusting bastard. People like him made me understand a bit what kind of place this was, as it seemed unlikely to me that the church would allow an exorcist like him.

"Don't you think kids shouldn't be doing this kind of thing, especially outdoors? But hey, fucking is fucking no matter what age" I felt my face crumple with disgust and ignoring him we kept running.

But I knew we couldn't stay like this forever, he was just playing with us, at best he would catch up with us, he would kill me and take Asia back to the "church" because I am not as important as her, at worst, he would end up killing me anyway but not before torturing me, he would take Asia and who knows what disgusting things this bastard would do to a Seven year old girl. So I plucked up my courage and as we ran I shouted:

"What the hell do you want Freed, is it fun to taunt scared and helpless children!"

"ha ha kid, you think you're such a big deal he?"

And with that I stopped hearing his footsteps. Without warning I felt a burning in my stomach, I was unwilling to look, but Asia's horrified look convinced me otherwise. The red slowly spread and stained my white shirt. I still felt the cold metal inside my body.

I screamed. But Asia's horrified scream was louder than mine.

"Sieg-chan!" she tried to cling to me, but, as she was about to grab me, the sword came out of my body and I felt the pain of a kick in my back, the thrust was enough to make me roll several meters.

"Uaagh!" a grunt of pain came out of my mouth without my consent.

"Sieg-chan!"

Blood was slowly gushing from my wound, but it was obvious that if this bastard didn't kill me quickly I would die anyway from blood loss. It was at these moments that I sincerely wished for the cliché main characters in the anime I watched in my old world. Damn the generic shonen, if all this keeps up I'll waste my second chance at life. Something I wasn't willing to give up so easily.

With my vision still blurry I desperately searched for something I could use to get out of this situation.

Unfortunately there was nothing but a rock, a little smaller than my fist, damn it!

Come on this is the moment where I refuse to die all for the sake of saving Asia and awaken my hidden power which should be very broken by the standards of this world.

Freed was approaching and nothing was happening, damn you god I hope the gift you promised me when you sent me to this world is not a healing ability in the form of a seven year old blonde girl.

Resigning myself to my dark thoughts, I slyly turned my gaze to the rock near my head. I can't believe I'm going to do this, but desperate situations call for desperate measures, ¿right?

"You gave up already, come on you little shit boy have some fun!" he kicked me in the stomach, but I managed to grab the rock, I rolled a little more until I hit a tree.

I saw Asia running towards me, so this was the all or nothing moment. Well, at least I would try. I struggled to my feet using the log for support.

"that's right! fight back, "do something, I know-" her words full of morbid amusement were interrupted when seemingly out of nowhere a rock smashed into her slightly open mouth.

"waaag!" what seemed to be a sickening sound of pain came out of his now bloody mouth with broken teeth.

Going from the situation I was forced to blink and look at my hands and the scene in disbelief.

"did that shit really work?"

Wasn't this guy some sort of antagonist in this story? Why was he stunned by a rock of all things? I guess he didn't see it coming.

Still dazed from the pain in his mouth he didn't notice Asia on his way to me, he picked up his sword between his two hands, I didn't think it was heavy until I took it in mine, though it wasn't that big of a deal.

"there is no time, Asia let's get out of here while she is in that state!" i interrupted Asia's healing and with my free hand i grabbed her hand and we ran towards the unknown.

"Shit, shit, Swhitt, I will kill you, I wwill kill ywou ¡!"

If it wasn't for the situation I would have laughed out loud at how stupid I sounded trying to curse with red teeth and a mouth full of blood. I knew it would soon be after us this time with the intention of killing us or killing me in an instant, so stopping me was not an option, though...

"Are you... okay... Asia-chan?" between tired gasps I asked him as we ran.

"I.… am.… fine, Sieg-chan" she asked me just as tired. It was only a short time before one or both of us would give in to the exhaustion of running for so long.

"hold on a little longer Asia" I mustered up the strength to say that full sentence without panting.

"yes" she nodded as we continued to run.

My throat was dry, my chest hurt a little every time I took a sharp breath. I had never been so tired before, maybe because I had never run like I did a few minutes ago After I finished using my healing power, I knew it was called [Twilight Healing] because the church sisters told me that it was a gift from God to heal the sick who came to church looking for a "miracle ".

I didn't fully understand the meaning, there were many things that a didn't understand Sieg-chan had told me that it was normal for a girl my age, which I found curious since we were the same age but for some reason he seemed older. I never questioned it. I looked at my friend who was lying next to me on the tree and looking at the sword I picked up from that exorcist lord, the one I called Freed.

His black hair along with his blue flashes blended so easily with the darkness and the moon's glow reflected directly into his eyes as blue as the beautiful sky I saw months ago that summer evening.

"Is something wrong?" he asked me without even looking at me.

"do you think he's still not following us?" i asked looking back, though beyond the second nearby tree i could see nothing but darkness.

"I'd be surprised if he didn't, the way I left him it's very likely he's looking for us like crazy to kill me, plus you stole his sword, more reason to be upset."

"I saw it and took it by instinct."

"You did well."

"although I don't know how you managed to do that with a rock, he seemed very strong".

I questioned remembering the scene with disbelief, I had only seen that in the cartoons we watched in our time at the orphanage.

"me neither, it was too anticlimactic a situation, and I'm sure it only happened because that bastard god thought it was funny" the last thing he said in a whisper but I still heard it because of how close we were.

They were things she had heard Sieg say since they met a year ago, things like, "this must be the future childhood friend event" or "damn my generic protagonist powers still haven't been awakened, maybe that bastard god tricked me and didn't give me a gift" she never questioned the strange things her best friend said, but she would be lying to say she wasn't curious about what it meant.

"Whatever, let's not think about it. Come on we should get on with our race to get out of here." She said as she stood up and held out her hand to help me. I smiled and used it for support.

"Okay" and with that we set off on our run. I chalked it up to fatigue for the sense of danger I felt behind us.

I would really regret it later.

After drinking water from a small stream, Asia and I continued on our way. Truth be told, I felt like we weren't moving anywhere, but with Freed behind us there was no room to reconsider our path, so the only option was to keep going straight. Besides, knowing him, that bastard Freed will be just as hard to kill as in the anime...

wait a minute?

anime? ¿anime?... anime?... ani-

And for the first time in the last 2 years of consciousness I had, I felt like a complete fool. So I felt like I recognized some things, like Asia, the story, freed. They were all part of the anime I watched in my world when I was a teenager, I remember that was what I got into the little world of being an otaku with. High school DxD if I remember correctly. And Asia next to me was one of the main characters of the show. Bottom line.

I had screwed up.

The memories in my mind a seemed like a fountain overflowing, the numerous chapters of the anime and the light novel popped into my mind. was this the god's gift? If so, it's completely useless to give it to me after seven years, now that I've already screwed up part of the original plot, and what the hell am I supposed to fit into a world full of monsters like these? I distinctly remember asking him to send me to a normal one. The bastard only responded with that I was going to like this one. Sorry, but harem the tits and waifus were useless if I'm just a side character who somehow got involved with one of the main protagonist's love interests.

I'm scum.

I didn't know issei, but it's very likely that when we get to that point in the story (if we get there) Asia will most likely be the younger sister type for me or maybe my pre established love interest, knowing my luck there's a 50/50 chance of one or the other happening.

Sorry Issei, blame the bastard god for not giving me this information sooner. This whole situation is his fault. When I meet you I promise I'll treat you to some Tamarind Frio Frio, for almost stealing one of the girls from your coveted harem.

Now the main problem was the crazy Exorcist who was after us.

"do you thinwk they could eswcape from mwe?" apparently he was still talking in a strange way, I almost felt bad for him.

"damn it Freed, can't you leave us alone!"

"i will kill ywou!"

Yeah, it seems like he's really willing to kill us right now.

BAM!

The sound of a gunshot echoed in the forest, I don't know if it missed or it was to scare us, but I heard it hit near a tree around us. If it was the latter, it made it because now Asia and I were running much faster than normal.

"Shiwt!"

"oh, looks like I did miss" Asia took the words right out of my mouth.

Oh come on, this was ridiculous in the novel and in the anime he was clearly depicted as a trained crazy killer who would do anything to participate in a fight and taunt his enemies. Then how come he had so much trouble catching two kids who were only seven years old? How did he get stunned by a rock? Is it because Asia is one of the main characters and so he can't die?

If the latter is the case, it doesn't explain why I'm still alive, or why I made it out of the church with Asia in the first place. Whatever it was, I was grateful for this development because it was somehow breaking the established foundations of this world.

Now if only I would unlock my broken and stupid summoning power!

"Sieg-chan!" now that I recognized the world I was in those words hit me one way or another.

"Hm?" an Uchiha would be proud of my perfunctory grunt of confirmation. When I looked to where Asia was pointing I almost cried tears of joy. Note the almost, if it wasn't for the madman chasing us and for some reason still not catching up and because I was afraid that my dumb luck would damage Asia's protagonist attribute in some way or another.

If I wasn't happy enough with my current life, even if I was almost on the brink of death right now, I would have stuck the sword that I was holding in my hand in my stomach the moment I saw the cliff that prevented us from passing. crocodile tears came from my eyes..

"Asia-chan, I know it may sound crazy of me, but if we jump we won't die...we will most likely suffer from broken bones or temporary amnesia or something" I added immediately when I saw the look of disbelief my companion was sending me. "What? You're the main character here, you won't die from this, I just have to be very close to you and nothing will happen to me. Probably."

"Sieg-chan what are you talking about-"she was interrupted by the psycho exorcist's footsteps and gasps.

"finally damnw children" he leaned against a tree as he gasped and pointed his gun at us, although from the position he didn't know who.

"Asia I promise you everything will be fine" I assured her as I took her hand and squeezed it lightly.

She looked at me, then at Freed and then at the cliff and the stupidly strong and dangerous wild waters churned by the overwhelming current. She did this three times and without waiting for Freed to say some of his stupid shit with his broken mouth, she jumped in and dragged me with her.

Never question a seven year old determined to do something. Even knowing we would jump, with Asia willing or not, I couldn't help but scream as we fell into one of the many clichés of manga, anime and light novels. I just hope we don't lose our memory or something.

I never quite heard Freed's attempt at an angry scream as we fell.

We dove into the water and soon after I felt a sudden pain in my head that vanished the instant everything went black for me. I hope to wake up on some nearby beach or river and that a kind lady would welcome us giving us a foothold in this bullshit story.

I was hoping too much.

¿I felt a little uncomfortable as she looked at me with disbelief and respect? I still didn't placate the fact that I was sitting in front of the bastard god who sent me to the DxD world in the first place. so with a sigh I opened my mouth to speak, I didn't succeed as the god interrupted me.

"i hate you bastard."

I grimaced offended, this bastard is the one to blame.

"It's your fault in the first place, you sent me to a pretty dangerous world full of monsters when I'm just an ordinary human, what am I supposed to do here?"

"Live your quiet life in the first place, aside from what you complain about, I'm pretty sure I gave you a power of attorney when I sent you there

"late seven years is finding out what stupid power you gave me, don't tell me my bad luck, getting involved with one of the main story protagonists and knocking out someone years ahead of me in combat with a rock. That's part of the skill set you gave me."

"no, that was definitely all your fault" he replied without giving me the real answer to my question.

"I'm pretty sure I changed the original plot" I replied bored.

"and I hate you for that" he replied easily.

"all because you didn't give me the information I needed before" I replied a little annoyed.

"that was your fault too, for not remembering it correctly kid."

"how was I supposed to remember one of the light novels I read when I was 13 in my previous world, I died at 18 because you thought it was funny to see someone die from having a piano fall on their head?"

"Sieg-kun details. Well the thing is, if I gave you a power by sending you to that world, knowing your stupid luck you would most likely get involved in dangerous situations and having you constantly here is more paperwork for me."

"Wait I'm dead?" I asked in shock as I looked down at my own body.

"yes, you died from a blow to the head."

"Asia is fine" I already knew the answer.

"she died too"

"¿I knew it, what?" it took much longer than necessary to process the bomb that exploded in my face at this moment. Asia was dead? My fault, definitely my fault. shit!

"I think there's a misunderstanding Sieg-kun" I looked at his emotionless face, lifting my head tasting the salty of my tears with my mouth.

"Asia-chan died, but she's not dead."

What do you mean, oh, she's alive now? ¡Yes! Dammit! I felt the knot in my stomach unroll, but it still didn't take away the bitter feeling that Asia might have been left dead by my recklessness. From now on, you should think things through more carefully before making a decision. Just because this world was once a light novel doesn't mean you should see it with the same eyes as when you were thirteen, ridiculous as it may sound, now it was real.

"Well, now it's time for you to return to the world of the living. I'll leave you a hint on how to use your power so you won't feel so helpless in that world. It's up to you how to use it." I nodded at his words giving him a grateful nod

"please avoid dying recklessly, every time you come here and I revive you you lose years of life" oe, oe, oe that sounds too dangerous.

"I will do it" I will definitely do it.

I felt a slight pain in my head as I regained consciousness. I was in what appeared to be a hospital room, I lay down on the bed for my comfort and when I felt a small weight next to my stomach I could see my best friend sitting in a chair and asleep in the aforementioned place. A feeling of happiness and relief flooded my body when I noticed that she was breathing normally, I moved a little bit being careful not to wake her up, although it didn't work.

She opened her eyes slowly and then looked at me, for a second she remained the same and then she spoke:

"good morning Sieg-chan" she said still sleepy, I laughed to myself and answered.

"good morning Asia-chan" she took several seconds longer and after tearing her eyes in an attempt to wipe her tears she rushed towards me.

"Sieg-chan!" she cried out with what seemed to be happiness and wrapped my body in her embrace even though my body ached I did nothing to push her away. Mainly because I couldn't.

"I'm back" I patted her head several times and subsequently began to rub her.

Our moment was interrupted when the door to the room opened.

And I cursed god again when I recognized the person or thing that entered the room.

"I was beginning to think you wouldn't wake up kid" the man spoke with an amused smile as he approached us.

"how long have I slept?" my voice sounded a little hoarse.

"A week" it was Asia who answered. I looked at her with a blank expression for a while, then:

"what?"

"as the girl says, you've been unconscious for a week since I found them on the bank of the river where I went fishing, it was pretty amazing" I'm more surprised by the fact that specifically you are in Italy. Obviously I didn't say that.

"I see" was all I could say.

The room fell into a silence that gradually became uncomfortable. Until I got tired and decided to break it.

"aren't you going to ask, how did we end up like this?"

"the girl told me after I asked her when she woke up 3 days ago" he answered looking at Asia with a small smile. "I have to say, I didn't expect that at all. They escaped from a place pretending to be a church, were chased by a crazy exorcist and then threw themselves off a cliff to avoid falling into the hands of the man whose mouth and teeth you broke with a rock. That was great" if I didn't know what this bastard was like I would have been pretty irritated.

"our little adventure" I sighed as I stroked my friend's hair. "thank you for your kindness in bringing us here. We will soon repay you for this favor in the future, for the moment my friend and I have to think what to do about what's in store for us from now on, I guess going to an orphanage is the most favorable option" I thanked the man and without realizing it I started to ramble on about our options.

"Yeah, about that..." he interrupted me from my thoughts and I found him scratching the back of his neck as he looked away with a nervous smile.

"Yeah?" he sighed, opened his mouth and then closed it. ¿He did that several times until he gave up and looked at Asia and I. "I'll be direct guys, if you don't mind do you want to come with me or go to another orphanage? Although with your experience I doubt you would want to go to one of those.

My mind went blank for a few moments. Then I assimilated his words in my head, even though he didn't, I knew the man in front of us and could trust him a bit, besides it's not like the second option is very appealing, I'm sure Asia isn't very attracted to the idea.

I turned my eyes towards my best friend and she did the same with me. After looking at each other for a few seconds we nodded and turned to the man who asked to "adopt us".

"if you are ok with us then please take care of us" Asia bowed slightly and I did the same from the bed. He let out a small laugh and then spoke.

"I'll try brats, so...what with your names?"

"Asia Argento" Asia replied with a smile, then looked at me to introduce myself. I sighed and looked up at him.

"Sieg Toben."

"Asia, Sieg, well my name is Azazel" Azazel introduced himself with a small bow.

I'm still wondering, what the hell was the leader of the grigori doing in Italy of all places, practically church land. Well, whatever. Let's see where this goes, for now I will keep my knowledge secret and convince Asia not to show her Sacred gear to everyone.

And above all I really wish this doesn't change the main plot too much somehow.

How wrong I was.
