Leo was right when he thought the perk he would get from Azazel was strong. His position in the Grigori was essentially secured and relations with other factions would be much easier to build up.

How he had gained the affection to unlock the perk however, was a different can of worms. Azazel knew that stray. Azazel knew he had gone after the stray. Azazel hadn't stopped him or intervened in his fight with said stray. Had his father sent him to die? Or was he trying to test him? And what was that theory that was proven right?!

All Leo could do was wait for his body to wake up and think about what the future may hold. One thing was certain. He was unlikely to pull off anything like that again. If the stray had put more effort in his first attack he would have been dead for sure. Fortunately he still had his devil nature and decided to taunt him and prolong the kill.

Leo needed to not underestimate stray devils again. Many may be slobbering monsters. But those powerful enough to control the unstable demonic power that the evil pieces gave them were incredibly dangerous. Kuroka was a perfect example from the canon material.

His holy fire was a fantastic weapon against them. Improving his skills in both Pyromancy and Light Magic would allow him to cast more of both in a single instance and over longer periods of time as well as the base damage of his fire. Perhaps he could oneday one-shot an Ultimate Class devil with it.

His mana pool had increased by over 6 times after slaying the stray devil. It was a massive boost for him in strength and an eye opening experience. He had known that there would be incredibly strong opponents in this world, but it was different to experience them up close. Albedo had seemed like a monster with stats in the upper hundreds but she was only middling high class in strength for a fallen. This devil had been ultimate class in strength.

It wasn't long until Leo had begun to come around. He couldn't quite see yet but his soft bed below him told him he was back home.

Slowly his vision began to clear. He was in his room back home. It was rather bland due to both his and Azazel's complete lack of an eye for interior design. Containing only his bed, a bookshelf and 2 chairs both of which were currently occupied. The rest of his room was completely empty.

Albedo sat at the end of his bed laying down with her head rested on the end of his bed. Worry marred her sleeping face. She had probably been awake for quite some time watching over him before passing out from exhaustion. Worry was a tiring emotion.

It was a surprise to find out that devils and fallen needed a similar amount of sleep to humans, though they could potentially go months without it depending on their power. Leo reached out to stroke her hair before turning to the other occupant of the room. Azazel was sleeping soundlessly in the chair by the book shelf.

Leo turned to look out the window to see where they were, he would be surprised if Azazel decided to stay in Antwerp after what happened, only to see a purple twisting sky above. The underworld.

Azazel had decided to raise him in the human world because the underworld was apparently 'too boring', so this was the first time he had actually been to the underworld in his life. He had lived in multiple cities all over the world but he had met less than a dozen fallen angels as the son of the most powerful fallen angel.

Turning back to the room he realised that he was no longer the only one awake. Azazel's violet orbs were locked with his own silver ones as a small knowing smirk made its way onto the older Fallen's face.

"Morning..." Azazel said, clearly trying to stop the smugness from creeping onto his face.

Leo's blood began to boil. He had set him up. It was easy to read Azazel when he let people read him and that's what made him so hard to read, to be able to flawlessly show false emotions on his sleeve. Right now he was showing an easy going smile that radiated smugness and humour. It was impossible to tell his true thoughts.

"Tell me about Galliard." Leo demanded. Azazel raised his eyebrows at him revealing the devil's name.

"So he told you his name?" Azazel asked in reply. He didn't answer and instead continued to stare expectantly at his father.

"He was a stray devil that moved to Brussels over a century ago. I went to hunt him and decided to leave him alone..."

"Why?" Leo was going to get answers. While he had a good relationship with his father whenever he asked about anything involving his mother all he got was evasive answers and information he already had. This would not be the same.

"He wasn't a threat to the Grigori and didn't mean humans any harm, so I didn't see the point. Was a pretty good drinking buddy as well."

"Why did you send me after him."

Azazel glanced at the sleeping half succubus before returning his eyes to his son.

"Let's take this somewhere else." He said, before standing and striding across the room to the door. Leo quickly got out of bed, taking care not to wake up Albedo, before rushing after his father. They came upon a balcony where Azazel finally stopped before leaning on the railing facing him. Leo stopped in front of his father and looked at the taller man.

"Well?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. All I did was mention a stray devil in Brussels… You just found the wrong one." Said Azazel, with a vicious grin and mischievous eyes. "Though I'm incredibly impressed with you Leo. To be able to hold off a devil of his caliber long enough to stab him with that Vatican blade you occasionally play with is an incredible accomplishment, even if you did unlock a Longinus that is perfect for defence. I'm curious where you got that knife though, which ties into my theory with you."

His fathers last statement made his stomach drop to the floor as a deep pit began to form. No way he's that smart… has he figured out I'm a gamer?

"Cera. What happens if someone finds out about the gamer system?! Are there any consequences?!"

"There shouldn't be any implemented by the System. Though it's not recommended to reveal it as people often think you're insane or try to steal or use your powers for their own gain.

"This isn't good…"

Azazel in the present DxD world was an easy going guy who was obsessed with sacred gears. But in reality he was a genius who wasn't above manipulating people, even if there was no maliciousness behind his actions, with a dark past that wasn't revealed. What would he do if he figured out his powers? Would he be used for his fathers own agenda or would he be dissected and torn apart for knowledge.

"You okay, Kid?" A sturdy hand brought him out of his racing thoughts. Leo looked up at his father who held him still in his firm grip.

Those are some ridiculous stats…

No. His father wouldn't do that to him. His face held relief alongside a caring smile. Azazel wouldn't betray him like that. He would be fine.

"Don't worry I'm not going to do anything. You're my son and nothing will ever change that." Azazel said before pulling Leo's head onto his chest and embracing him. "Watching you grow has been nothing but joy for me as your father. It has also made me very curious… I bet you are now curious about what I'm curious about, right kid?"

Leo nodded into his chest. "I've known you've had a sacred gear since birth. I've been trying to subtly unlock it when training you, though now that it has been revealed as Dimension Lost it kinda fucks up my theory…" Azazel paused for dramatic affect. Leo was so glad he lost his [Extravagant] trait. While his father was far from extravagant, it was already annoying the way he orated himself and he didn't want to imagine it being any worse.

The pause lasted for a few minutes, all while father and son stared at each other.

"You get stronger by killing things. That is my theory. I originally thought it was a sacred gear that did that, and before you killed that devil it didn't have any legs to really stand on. It's almost like game mechanics."

"There have been 3 times in the past when you gained a sudden burst in strength. When you came back from the park that day. When you turned 5 and when you turned 10. Only the first could be somewhat answered and still can be. Aside from that you haven't gained any noticeable strength ever."

Damn. Azazel really was smart.

"I'll take your silence as me being right." Azazel said, breaking the atmosphere that had built up. Perhaps this would be good for him. If his father knew how he got stronger and if he was fully committed to helping him train and gain strength, maybe he would get more access to fighting and killing things to gain xp. Training his skills was great, but this would allow him to truly develop his abilities.

"What does Albedo know of this?" Going off her affection and obedience, controlling her would hopefully be easy. Though she was known to go behind Ainz's back in attempts to further his goals in her own way. Her not knowing would be the best solution.

"Nothing." Came Azazel's reply. "All she knows is that I sent you off to fight a stray and she protested at every stage. Me being the leader of the Grigori is the only thing that kept her in line. Doubt she'll listen to me again."

Azazel gave him a thoughtful look before dropping another bomb.

"Also you're reincarnated aren't you?"

Leo was shocked as Azazel just guessed his biggest secret, one that he had never told anyone and had no plans on telling it.

What the hell is this man?!

"He is very impressive isn't he? Shame i can't swap hosts, he seems like he would be decent company and probably wouldn't make such idiotic faces." Cera said in his head. She was quite shocked as well from the sound of her voice. The strongest fallen just laughed at his son as he made a stupid face.

"Guess I'm right about another thing as well! You're really not good at hiding your emotions Leo. I'm almost always able to tell what you're thinking. I knew you were going to go to Brussels as soon as I mentioned the stray." Azazel ruffled his hair with a grin adorning his face.

"Where does that place us then?" Leo spoke up. He had been finding it hard to speak since Azazel read him like a children's book. But his questions needed answers. "With me not really being your son…"

"What are you talking about? Just cause you had a life before becoming my son doesn't mean you aren't my son now." Azazel cut him off before could continue. "Didn't I say nothing would change that fact?"

Internally, Leo was beaming. With Azazel's reassurance, he had not only kept his strongest ally in this world but confirmed its security. Had Azazel decided to throw him out he would be royally fucked and would probably have to sell his soul to a devil and become a slave. Or Azazel could have just killed him.

Azazel was still the easy going leader of the Grigori from canon. But his complete disregard of Leo killing one of his old 'drinking buddies' showed glimpses of his pragmatism and ruthlessness he no doubt had from the great war.

Do I trust him with the secret of the system? "Cera?"

"That's your choice. But if he decides to dissect you don't cry to me." Cera's words made Leo shudder. It was very unlikely that would happen with the conversation he just had. Better to be safe than sorry either way and leave that part out.

"So… Can you tell me any details of your life before this or what reincarnation was like? I've never met a reincarnated guy who could remember their previous life." Asked Azazel as he brought them back into the living room and sat down across from his son.

"You've met reincarnated people before?" Leo questioned as he lay back on the sofa with raised eyebrows.

"Of course. Don't look so shocked the vast majority of influential hero decedents are obviously reincarnated if you knew the original hero. Now tell me about your previous life."

Leo grimaced.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you much, father. I don't remember most of it. All I can tell you is that I knew you and parts of this world from my previous life." It was a risk to tell Azazel this information, but hopefully trusting him would pay dividends later. While it may not help him get stronger directly, a 10000 year old angel is bound to have a lot of knowledge. Trusting Azazel would hopefully lead to an exchange in information.

The information itself clearly intrigued Azazel. "So we knew each other in your previous life? That's really interesting, can you remember what era or any information about when?"

"No. I knew about you from 'literature' when I died someone who called himself the 'Absolute Being' decided to reincarnate me in this world." Said Leo.

Azazel looked shell-shocked, his mouth hung open. Was it really that unbelievable compared to all the other shit in this world? Leo didn't think so but apparently it was. "Did you say the 'Absolute Being'?!"

It was his own turn to gawk. "Do you know anything about him?!"

Any information he could get on that bastard would be invaluable. The fact that Azazel knew about him completely shifted canon.

"It's your trait [Expanded Multiverse]. You weren't meant to be able to interact or involve yourself in other worlds till you got strong enough to leave this one." Cera explained.

"So this world is going to be involved in a massive cluster fuck of others?"

He could feel Cera sigh through their connection. "Basically, yes. Though I think it mostly just makes it easier to travel to other worlds."

Azazel gulped and tried to hide the nervousness he was expressing.

"Yeah, He created dad and tried to destroy this world."


Leo lay among the corpses of dozens of slain beasts, staring at the cloudless Siberian sky, his huffing breath spewing mist out into the cold air. Damn that stupid curse.

Apparently there were areas of the world full of monsters with animal-like intelligence. Something not mentioned in canon and probably new to the world because of him. Siberia was just the most dangerous area.

For the last 2 years he had regularly come here to slay them with Azazel's guidance. True to his word he had provided a place for him to gain experience and level up. Apparently the underworld had many more of these areas with stronger monsters, but it was much harder to hide mass slaughter in the underworld surprisingly.

His father really was nuts. He had used his leveling up as an excuse to get Leo to test numerous of his inventions for him. They had tried cloning the 'Danger Beasts' as they were apparently called, the stupid name of the monsters from Akame ga Kill, with one of Azazel's recent inventions to increase his xp gained but it unfortunately didn't work. In this most recent massacre he had been using a flame sword that caused things to randomly explode. Slice through a monster and a tree explodes. Leave it in its sheath and a monster explodes. Slash air and the blade explodes, leaving him coughing and covered in soot.

He had leveled up over 30 times. Each time leveling up took longer and longer. His last level up had been over 3 weeks ago and he was nowhere near close to leveling up again. The beasts here range from 200-500 in stats and this is the most dangerous 'wild zone' in the human world. Damn it, I'm stagnating again.

Though he was stagnating before he even started. If he slayed the ultimate class devil again right now he would barely level up 3 times. Not having dungeons really sucked. Leo had looked for alternative sources of xp through gathering and crafting, but he could only get xp if he got specific quests in those fields. Leveling skills didn't grant him raw levels and only occasionally granted him stats.

During this time he had gained the trait [Virtue of Diligence], increasing his skill growth and xp gain, and lost [Strongest 4 Year Old] once he reached level 50.

Looking over his stats he was pleased with how far he had come from the days of 10 HP. Unfortunately the monster corpses went for barely any gold and everything was absurdly expensive. Cera had helped out as much as she could, giving him monster hunter quests that gave him 1000 gold each.

With his current gold the only thing he could get were a few potions and basic weapons and equipment. No point in getting a weapon considering I get a high tier one in a few years.

It was interesting to find out he could literally just buy skills from the store along with other OP items… if he ever got the gold for it. For example he could purchase [Re-Taekwondo] or [Hokuto Shinken] for around 5 million gold each. Obviously he would still have to level the skill but the fact he could purchase skills that could level mountains or omae wa mou shindeiru someone was awesome. Or he could purchase an item called [Phoenix Blood] which would give him a passive 5% health regeneration every 30 seconds along with enhancing his fire abilities. Priced at 10 million gold. There were other items like that as well.

It was kind of cool to just be able to buy stuff like this. Imagine the faces of the devils when he showed up with Phenex regeneration.

His thoughts began to stray to his conversation with his father 2 years ago. The day he revealed many of his secrets.

"Explain" Leo demanded. This was wildly different from canon and probably exclusive to his multiverse.

"I'm sorry but I don't know much…" Azazel replied, trying to divert the conversation.

"You are not dropping this conversation after dropping a nuke like that, father."

"Fine... God is not originally from this world. All I know is that he was created along with 7 other beings, him being the second strongest, to fight and protect the universe from another group of beings by the 'Absolute Being'. But they eventually found out that their enemies were also created by the same 'Absolute Being' and they were forced to fight for his own amusement."

"They betrayed him and God came here. The humanity had already been wiped out on this planet multiple times in their waring but they had always come back. God settled on this planet and created the first generation of angels and defended this world from the armies of his enemies."

"I remember it was a bloody war. Even more so than the great war."

Leo was confused now. It sounded like a familiar story but he had no clue where from.

"What about the other gods. Were they created by that bastard?" Leo questioned his father.

Azazel gave a small smile at his anger. "I'm guessing he didn't leave a very good impression."

"He was a cunt." Azazel laughed at his son's response.

"That made me doubt if you were really reincarnated or not. The other gods were apparently created by other 'Absolute Beings'. Dad called them Axis. They didn't care for humanity before angels and god taught them magic first, then they started teaching them their own magic."

So the gods were assholes as well. Nothing surprising except everything else that has been revealed tonight.

Leo was brought back to reality as he realised he was surrounded by humans. It was obvious they were the hunters that lived in this area. At the head of the group was a tall man with pale blue hair and pale blue eyes, dressed in tribal clothes wielding a spear.

"Hail Stranger." The human greeted him. His stats were impressive for a human not involved with the sentient Supernatural. "I see you are proving your right to live against these beasts, I'm very impressed."

Leo sat up, before pushing himself to his feet and observed the other men around him. They didn't compare to their leader in any way. None of their stats rose above 100 and all of them were hostile, having a reputation of -50 to -20. So they don't want me on 'their' hunting grounds.

His wings unfurled from his back. Seeming to materialise out of nowhere. 6 midnight black wings stretched out in an attempt to intimidate the humans as their owner sent glares at them all. Leo's eyes settled back on their leader who looked at him with surprise and respect. "How's it going…"

It was a shame he had to kill them. As he wouldn't meet their demands to stop hunting they had decided to attack him. Fortunately he had got a quest and leveled twice out of the ordeal. In his hand was the enchanted hunters knife that was one of his rewards.

[Elven Hunting Knife]

+35 Attack

Spoils from animals slain by the knife can be sold for 200% of their base rate.

Kinda pathetic considering how little gold he got from selling animals at 1 gold per 20 corpses. This game was rigged against him.

"Sell the item. You can do that. It's actually worth a decent amount." Cera told him. It actually was able to be sold for about 30000 gold which would effectively double his current gold.

"Thanks Cera, I didn't think of that." He probably should have thought of something so simple. It was easy to overlook things.

"You need to get stronger. So you can fulfil your promise. Till then, I'll help in any way I can." She never forgot to remind him of his endgame quest. It seemed to be the only thing she cared about.

Leo came to look down at the leader who was barely still clinging to life.

Reputation: 42/100 - Pleased that his killer was strong.

What a fucked up man.

"The… strong devour the weak… and… and the weak have no right to live. I was… weak." The man choked out looking him in the eye. Leo had blown both his arms off and in their place was cauterized stumps. He had covered his nose with a cloth to try and keep the smell of burnt flesh away from his nose. Right now he was grateful he wasn't reincarnated as a Yokai or a European monster like a werewolf.

"My daughter… she can be strong… take her as your wife…"

What a fucked up man.

Leo leaned down and slit his throat with his new knife, ending his suffering.

[-10 Reputation] with ?: For killing her father.

[+50 Reputation] with ?: For being a suitable candidate for a husband.

What…

Leo ignored the notification and collected the corpses of the beasts with his mist and directly deposited them into his inventory, a useful skill, before bursting into the air at neck breaking speeds.

Flying never gets old.


Her father was dead. But that was alright, it just proved he was weak along with the rest of their clan.

He had gone with the rest of the men of their village to see what was killing the Danger Beasts near their tribe for the past few weeks. Only a single man had returned.

He described fighting a silver haired young man with multiple black wings had killed them all with powerful white flames. Her father had apparently given him a decent fight. Though that didn't matter he was still dead in the end.

Ice formed on her arm, where from, she did not know. The man's throat was pierced with the shard and he fell gagging on his own blood.

A man strong enough to kill my entire clan? He is perfect, I will make him mine.

Those were the thoughts of the blue haired young woman as she made her way into the tundra, leaving what remained of her clan behind. Esdeath would have what she wanted.


"So how was the sword, kid?" Asked Azazel as he threw himself onto the sofa next to his exhausted son.

"Oh, the sword? It exploded in my hand when I was trying to use it." Leo replied with a sigh.

"Technical errors. Do you have the remains at least?" Leo shook his head.

"Kinda got preoccupied with some locals trying to kill me. Got a few levels and a knife out of it though." It hadn't taken long after Azazel had started to help him level, and the occasional appearance of random items after completing quests, to figure out about the system. So much for trying to hide it.

It had been a boon though and Azazel was as valuable an ally as he thought he would be.

"Well if you plan on going on murder sprees to level up they will be much harder too hide unfortunately…" Azazel gave him a blank look as he spoke. It was obvious he wouldn't approve of such methods but would still help him hide it if he decided to spill a little blood.

No, that method would do no good. Not only was it a risk to himself and his reputation, but most humans were worthless when it came to stats and levels with the strongest barely reaching 20 in stats and 10 in level and would give him barely any xp. Plus he had quickly learnt he was a battle maniac, a common condition in this world apparently, and killing defenseless people didn't sit well with him.

"Don't worry Zaz. I'm not going to give you any more work to do. We'd definitely get found out if you were given more paperwork that important. Besides murder isn't my style." Azazel gave him a wicked grin as his shoulder slumped in relief.

"I'm very good at completing important jobs on time, you little shit." Leo tried not to choke on his laugh before listing off the many jobs he had put off this month alone.

"Like I said, important jobs. Anyway go get changed we're going out to meet a friend of mine. I think you're going to find this trip very valuable." Azazel said. He had already made his way from the sofa across the room and left.

"Where are we going!?" Leo called after the older fallen.

"Japan!"

Thinks you are an annoying brat for constantly interrupting meetings when you were young.

So there were consequences for his actions as a child. Which was kind of bs. He was a very cute child. Baraquiel was with his family outside of their home waiting to greet them.

"Azazel. Leo. You've gotten bigger." Baraquiel said. Shaking their hands respectively.

Looking to the left he saw a beautiful woman in miko robes with her long silky hair in a ponytail and a very voluptuous figure. It was hard not to stare, especially when she smiled at him. To the left of herself was a small 8 year old girl in a red kimono. Akeno looked very much like her mother with the exception of the massive chest, which she would eventually get, and violet eyes like her father.

At least that tells me where I am, respectively to canon. Leo had no plans for following canon. He had already disrupted it simply by existing in this world but he had been worried just by the fact that Vali hadn't shown up yet. Azazel was meant to adopt him when he turned 10. He had wondered if the half-devil had been left to fend for himself as Azazel already had a son with him being here.

It was a small relief to learn that was still 2 years away.

Leo glanced at the young Akeno and gave her a warm smile.

[+2 Reputation with Akeno]

Akeno blushed and hid behind her mother before returning his smile with her own.

[-5 Reputation with Baraquiel]

"Glad you're having us over Bara-chan. Is the other guy I asked for coming?" Azazel said before letting himself into their home after giving Shuri a kiss on the cheek. The Cadre visibly flinched at the emphasis on the japanese honorific.

"Yes, he is. Though I don't know what has piqued your interest in this human so much to want to talk to him yourself. And please don't call me that Azazel." Baraquiel prattled on, following his boss inside his own home.

Shuri turned to him with a slightly seductive smile. Though that was probably just her general demeanor. She really was beautiful and for the hundredth time Leo was extremely thankful his lustful trait wasn't active yet. "Come on in." She told him before entering the house with Akeno following close behind.

Leo followed her inside. He took his shoes off before making his way into a traditional japanese dining room where his father was sat on the floor with Baraquiel. Shuri sat him next to Akeno and then left to make tea for them.

Overall it was an awkward experience. Leo sat there in silence while the young girl next to him kept stealing glances at him and blushing. His father was discussing Grigori politics while getting berated for his late paperwork and sitting on the floor was damn uncomfortable.

Baraquiel turned to him with a glare.

[-2 Reputation with Baraquiel]

"Azazel says you've been training a lot and desire to get strong. Excuse me if I find that hard to believe…" Baraquiel said. This guy is an absolute asshole.

"I think it's justified. You are planning to put the moves on his daughter and thinking about his partner as well."

"I didn't ask for your opinion, Cera." Leo told her before temporarily closing off their connection.

"Yeah. Zaz is a bit too lazy to run things so he's asked me to take over in a couple years so he can retire. Getting stronger is just a side hobby." Replied Leo. Unfazed by the blatant insult. It was really petty of the Cadre to hold a grudge over his actions as a child, even though they were completely intentional.

"I worry for the future of the Grigori then…"

This bastard…

"Now, Now. Play nice with our guests Baraquiel, or we'll be having a 'chat' later on tonight." Shuri said with a smile as she re-entered the room with a tray of tea cups. "Our other guests are here."

Behind the woman came a man in his late 30s also dressed in traditional japanese clothes. He had deep blue eyes and dark navy hair. His physique was that of a warrior.

Thinks you have potential and is looking forward to training you.

So this was his new instructor. Comparing his stats and level to Baraquiel and Azazel showed just how disadvantaged humans were in this world despite the techniques such as touki to close the gap existing.

Learning swordsmanship would do him good. His training with Albedo had hit another brick wall considering she relied on brute strength over finesse, not to say she wasn't skilled, and he didn't have an interest in learning how to wield an ax. Swords were just cooler.

Behind his apparent new teacher was a small girl the same age as Akeno. She had straight purple hair and blue eyes.

Happy to meet you.

Azazel lifted his cup of saki and hailed the newcomer, a question on his lips about whether he'd train him. An outcome obviously decided on before we got here.

"I'll train him. Be at my school at dawn in two days." He said before turning around and swiftly exiting the room. It appeared the master Busujima was a no nonsense kind of guy when it came to teaching.

Overall the rest of the trip was uneventful. Saeko had stayed after Akeno had asked for her and sat on his other side before dragging him out to play with Akeno. Baraquiel continued to hide his glares from his partner while she continued to smile at him. Azazel got drunk and unfortunately Leo couldn't follow him.

In the end he got a decent sword instructor and his system would allow him to master the skill on his own as soon as he got it.


"That was a fun trip." Azazel said his face slightly flushed from the alcohol. Leo just grunted in response. "Hey don't be like that, I assume you would have loved the chance to pick two bird's affections up when they're still young."

"It's kind of hard to not get a bit bored playing with them. I'm not mentally a kid." Leo replied.

"Just wait six or seven years and they'll be all over you. And try to enjoy your time, you're too uptight and are looking for strength too fast. You are an immortal angel with incredible potential and a fucking Longinus, you can afford to take it slow at times."

Father and son were walking side by side along the Danube River. Their house was currently in Budapest, his mother's home city before she was taken in by the Vatican. Apparently she was an exorcist, that was all the information his father had revealed. It was painful for him apparently, especially after he had told Azazel about how he got the Curse. That and that she was buried at the Vatican.

"We should go to the Vatican and visit her grave. Is there any place I can easily learn skills to hide my presence." Leo could count on Cera to help him acquire skills. She had helped him with athletics which gave him access to [Sprint] which increased his effective DEX when it came to speed by 20% at high fatigue expense.

But she was silent. Apparently blocking communication upset her.

Leo ended up walking into the wall of flesh that was Azazel's back as he wasn't paying attention.

"Did you forget how to walk?!" The young fallen asked, in response all he got was an arm blocking his path forward.

Leo looked up at his father who no longer showed any signs of drunkenness, instead holding a serious and vicious glint in the eye that he could see.

He looked forward to where Azazel was glaring at. In front of them was what appeared to be a rip in space with blue spiralling energy leaking out and blocking off view of the inside. It stood 3 metres high and could apparently be seen by humans as well as dozens were gawking at the phenomenon and taking photos. Among all the commotion Azazel muttered under his breath.

"So it's happening again."


Here giving you a very early early chapter that i totaly didnt struggle to write. All in all despite it taking over a month it feels a bit rushed in places. But this is my first shot at this that has gone more than an introduction (which were still kinda on). No promises when next chapter is out.
