It's amazing what a human can adapt to if they put their mind to it. When it comes to adapting to a new environment, humans are one of the best after all. Of course, none of those new environments include an entirely different world which, might I add, is completely fictional.
I think that I've been doing a good job so far. I haven't had a mental breakdown yet so that's something to be proud of, I guess.
And it helps to have knowledge of the future on standby. Thanks for that by the way, brain.
'No problemo.'
But moving on, I have loads of time left until canon starts. A lot of stuff went down in the Church before canon officially started; some dark stuff at that, with example number one being the Holy Sword project.
Rumours tend to travel fast in Vatican City, and i've already heard that the Holy Sword project has officially begun, but there's nothing to show that Valper Galilei is experimenting on children at the moment. I give it two or three more years until he jumps the gun and begins to collect children.
Now, the real question is if I should stop it. I know how it's going to end up if I just leave it to follow the same course as canon but at the same time, I could save lives in doing so at the cost of potentially ruining canon and ensuring that my knowledge would be off. In the end, I have to make the decision while deferring to either logic or basic morals.
And even if I did decide to save them, I can't do anything about it now when the project is still in its early stages. If a kid came out of nowhere and suddenly announced that the chief scientist of the project is planning on murdering children in the future, nobody's going to believe me. I'm going to need proof, lots of it.
The problem is that I can't do anything without strength in a world where might is right. Until then, I should just focus on becoming stronger.
But right now, that strength isn't needed. Instead, i'll just relax on my throne of comfort where I am the king of this fluffy kingdom. With a pillow on my left and a pillow on my right, there's nowhere else I would rather be. Just me, my fluffy bed and a couple more hours of extra sleep. I wouldn't let anything ruin this.
So of course, Murphy just had to notice how comfortable I was and proceed to ruin everything.
"Siegfried." a familiar voice called. "Siegfried, it's time to wake up."
"But I don't wanna..." I half-whined, half groaned as I dug myself deeper into my pillows. Maybe if I dug deep enough, she wouldn't be able to see me?
"Siegfried." the voice spoke again with a slight edge to it. It seems that the danger has yet to be averted... "You have until the count of ten."
"Please Sis, my doctor advised against me waking up early on a Sunday."
"Ten."
"God rested on the seventh day, why can't I?"
"Nine."
"Oh alright!" I hissed as I tore myself away from my precious throne. I opened my eyes too quickly and had to scowl as the sunlight smacked me in the face. I rubbed my eyes and blinked a couple of times to see the face of the woman who was a mother figure for most, if not all, descendants.
Sister Sophia's brown eyes were filled with amusement as she pulled back the curtains, letting the sunlight rush in. Her hair was hidden by her headscarf like all the other nuns who would visit from time to time and a silver cross was dangling from her neck.
"I'll tell you what. Go and create an entire world and I might think about letting you sleep in." she smirked. Her smirk disappeared instantly when I actually went into thought on how to create an entire world. It's not impossible, I would just have to become a god, right? Just get some people to worship me, gather faith around the planet and-
"Ow!" I cried out when Sister Sophia smacked the back of my head. I glared at her but cowered when she glared back.
"Don't think of such blasphemous thoughts." she warned with narrowed eyes. "And don't forget to tidy your room, it's filthy!" I could only nod dumbly as she huffed and began to leave my room.
With a heavy heart, I lifted myself up from my pillows and stretched my arms above me with a yawn. I looked around and yep, my room is pretty messy. I have the whole day to clean it, it should be fine if I leave it for a couple of hours.
I dragged myself away from my bed-my precious-and put on my slippers before making my way to the bathroom. I passed by Freed and Lint's rooms on the way but saw that they were already empty. I guess they must have already woken up; I should hurry up if I want to eat breakfast with them.
I woke up too late so I won't have enough time to get my morning practice done, but since it's Sunday, I can probably leave it for a later time. After all, I have the whole day.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I rinsed out my mouth with water and dried my face with a towel. I checked myself in the mirror to see if I missed anything and one handsome smile later, left the bathroom in a hurry, ready to start another day in this new life.
"Come on, you can do it!"
"T-twenty... Six! Twenty seven!"
"I think he's about to reach his limit, Lint. Maybe you should get off his back?"
"N-no! I can... Keep g-going! Twenty eight!"
Freed, Lint and I were in the Institute gardens as we relaxed. Well, Freed and Lint were relaxing. I was going through my daily exercise again. I decided to punish myself by having Lint sit on my back as I went through my push-ups. Don't ask me why, I don't know myself. Freed thinks that I might have hit my head when I woke up while Lint, sweet little Lint, doesn't really care so long as she can be of help to me.
Have I mentioned that Lint is the cutest little thing ever? Because she really is.
"T-thirty!" I finished as Lint finally left her throne on my back. I collapsed with a dull thud as I sucked in as much air as I could while Freed closed his book and helped me up along with Lint.
"Are you finished?" Freed asked from under my arm. I nodded in response, too tired to form an answer as Freed began to carry me away. We had a tight schedule that I almost ruined today thanks to sticking to my training regimen.
Next up, it's time we go and visit a friend!
It wasn't too hard getting permission to leave the Institute grounds. We were fixed with a tracking device and told to be back in an hour, an order that we easily accepted. Our destination was the main Vatican headquarters. On the way, we got a small meal and decided to pick up a couple of gifts along the way.
Exactly ten minutes later, we stood outside the enterance of the ST Peter's Basilica, also known as the largest church in the world and the main headquarters of the Vatican. It was just as easy getting permission to enter as it was to leave the Sigurd Institute; just a couple of rules and warnings to follow during our stay.
It took us less than five minutes navigating through the halls of the main headquarters as we were already accustomed to the many hallways. We had finally arrived upon our final destination, namely the benches located directly below the roof on a balcony. There, we found one of our close friends waiting for us with a happy smile plastered on her face.
"Asia!" Lint was the first to call out as she strode forward with a smile of her own. Asia turned around and I swear, her smile seemed to brighten even more than I thought possible. Seriously, Gilgamesh would have wanted to store that kind of treasure in his Gate of Babylon.
Asia Argento, the "Holy Priestess" of the Church and wielder of Twilight Healing. We had visited her during our numerous outings to Vatican City, though it was one of the first things I had done upon being let out. There was no way that I would leave her all by herself, my bleeding heart just wouldn't allow it. She was forcefully placed on a pedestal that she never wanted and used as a figure head by the clergy.
And then she healed a devil. Having seen that she was able to heal a Devil, thus going against what they stood for, the Church had discarded her like a piece of trash. With nowhere to go and nobody to go to, she was forced to seek refuge with the Fallen
Not this time.
Consider this my first big change to the canon of the story. Asia Argento is not going to be excommunicated. She's going to have friends in the Vatican, no matter how many old crones complain about it. Dildodora can eat shit. In fact, i'm going to make sure that we're all there for when that shifty-eyed cocksucker shows up.
So yeah. I planned on befriending Asia before canon and making sure that she wouldn't be excommunicated from the Church. Besides, it's not like she can't be friends with Issei in the future, at least, not with the peace treaty that's going to be made between the Three Biblical Factions.
I snuck a glance to my right and just as I expected, Freed's cheeks were accented by a faint blush. I had never planned on Freed latching onto her like a lovesick puppy, yet here we were. It's kind of ironic to be honest. Canon Freed was an absolute dick to her and even threatened to rape her, but now? Now, Freed just wants to spend as much time as possible with her.
But hey, i'm not about to complain. If it means that Freed won't lose his shit later on, then i'm all up for it. Freed x Asia, lets make this a thing people!
"Oh? What's this? Did little Freed missed Asia?" I smirked when Freed's blush intensified. "Can't handle being separated from his precious friend?"
"S-shut up!"
"You just stuttered."
"Just drop it already!"
"You're still blushing-ow!"
We were interrupted by Asia and Lint, the two girls having a difficult time trying to restrain their laughs at the good show of teasing. I rubbed my shoulder, trying to ignore the death-stare I could feel originating from Freed.
"So how have you been doing?" I asked Asia as I moved away from Freed. "It must have been annoying, constantly being hounded by those old crones."
Freed frowned at that statement before chastising me. "Sieg, you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs."
"But he's not entirely wrong." Lint helpfully added. I held out my hand towards Asia with a grin as we shared a high-five, much to Freed's disappointment as he shook his head.
"Freed is right; you shouldn't talk behind someone's back." Asia defended Freed. Said boy directed a smug grin towards us but it faltered at Asia's next words. "But yes, the old crones have been more strict than usual." Lint and I gave Freed the exact same smug grin he gave us less than ten seconds ago, basking in our small victory.
Due to canon Asia having been raised with the bare minimum of human interaction, her social skills were practically non-existent. However, now that she has three friends close to her age, I didn't doubt that I would see some personality changes in the future. She's still the same as her canon self but she's also a lot more confident in herself, able to tease and show some attitude.
"But enough of them," Asia smiled as we all sat down next to her. "This is the only time of day that we get for ourselves, I don't want to waste it by talking about the priests."
"Well said!" I agreed as I wiped the tears that had begun to form in the corner of my eyes. "Which is why we brought these with us!" Freed understood the signal and reached backwards, pulling out every single gift we had bought on the way here. Asia's eyes lit up with barely contained excitement as each gift was placed in front of her.
"Happy birthday!" Freed, Lint and I all cheered together, arms spread wide. Asia switched her gaze from the gifts to us in an instant before proceeding to jump into the waiting embrace. We easily caught her but the force of her action caused the entire bench to fall backwards; all four of us collapsed into a messy pile of limbs with Freed and I taking most of the impact against the ground.
We remained in that position for a couple of seconds before Lint started giggling. Asia soon followed before Freed and I also joined in.
Asia doesn't have to be alone anymore. Freed is healing. Lint is happy.
It's times like these that i'm truly grateful for this second life.
Unfortunately, our visit was as short as always. We stayed with her for forty minutes before we had to go back, but not before promising to visit her again tomorrow.
The walk back to the Institute was a quite one, with only small talk being the main topic of our conversations. Along the way, we saw some of the other descendants and Institute workers who were on their way back from their own outings.
Upon entering the Institute-good old home-we went to the front desk to get our ankle bracelets removed. Now that we're back, they don't really need to monitor our whereabouts anymore. It's not like we're planning on escaping Vatican City but they just prefer knowing where we are.
Looking at the closest clock, I saw that we still had at at least two hours until it was time for dinner. I suppose I could just hang out with Freed and Lint rather than train myself ragged. Again. Now that I think about it, maybe I should slow down with my training regimen? After all, I have one year left until I begin my exorcist training and it would end up clashing with my own regimen. Besides, my training regimen was just so that I would get a head start on my current generation which consists of monsters like Vali and Sairaorg. Hell, loath as I am to admit it, even Issei ends up becoming a force to be reckoned with, though that's mainly thanks to the plot armour.
Damn plot armour.
But right now, I don't have to worry about that. I can just take this time to relax with Freed and Lint, and-
!?
I felt it, a sudden surge of malice directed towards me. I instantly grabbed Freed and Lint from their collars, halting their movements. Not long ago, I had inscribed a couple of runes into various articles of clothing that I owned which would create a mobile Bounded Field with me at the centre. It's aim was simple: it would detect and inform me of anyone who would enter it with malice directed towards either me or Freed and Lint, who I had registered into the Bounded Field. Right now, I could feel the target at the other end of the corridor, about to take the turn leading to us.
The question is, who is it? I don't think I had done anything to warrant that kind of anger from anyone in the Institute, and I don't talk to a lot of people when I leave the Institute.
My question was answered not long after as the stranger finally revealed themselves. Sister Sophia was standing at the end of the corridor, an annoyed scowl on her face. Her eyes locked onto my frame instantly as her scowl shifted to a more neutral expression. I could easily detect the silent promise of pain that would surely be delivered in the next moment.
... Ah, that's right. I forgot to tidy my room, didn't I?
I smiled. She smiled back.
"I can explain." I quickly defended, my feet slowly shifting themselves to back away from the threat standing a distance away from me.
"I don't think you can." she replied sweetly, her voice greatly contrasting with the golden magic circle that grew in the palm of her right hand.
"Come on Lint, we're leaving Sieg to deal with his own mess." Freed held Lint's hand as he began to lead her away. Hah! As if Lint's going to leave me to die alone-
"Alright. Bye Sieg!" Lint waved farewell, a smile on her face as she and Freed left the area. Traitors!
"I told you to clean your room." Sister Sophia spoke with a disturbingly steady voice. "Why didn't you clean your room?"
"I was late for breakfast and the best meal sets would have ran out-" "You and I both know that Freed and Lint always get your lunch for you."
"Freed and Lint were waiting for me-" "They can survive without your presence for what, five? Ten minutes?"
I found myself unable to move from my spot. Looking down, I noticed the array of runes surrounding me, limiting my movements. When did she even put those down?
"I had to take a huge dump! It was like thiiiiis long and-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as her hand grabbed a hold of my head, lifting me off the ground with an iron grip. There was nothing I could do anymore so I did the next best thing that would somewhat alleviate me of my punishment.
"Please be gentle?" To her credit, she actually thought about humouring my request.
"Twenty should do it." she replied as her arms reached forward and darkness overtook my vision.
Two minutes later...
"I don't want to say I told you so..." Freed began as he stood right outside my room.
"Good, because I don't want to hear it." I interrupted, looking away from my work to glare at him.
"But he did tell you." Lint added helpfully, a grin adorning her face.
"Quiet." I replied curtly as I folded the last article of clothing, placing it at the top of the neat pile I had made. As promised, Sister Sophia did hold back on me but holding back doesn't mean much when her slaps are enhanced by magic. Fortunately, the healing stones that I had created were doing their job as my rear end was slowly, but surely, feeling a lot more better than before.
Seriously, what is it with the DxDverse and spanking? (A/N: You got something you want to tell us, Ishibumi?)
I'm starting to get bored of this same old routine that we follow every single day.
Wake up. Eat. Study. Break. Studying again. Lunch. You guessed it, more studying. Break. Dinner and finally, going back to bed.
I mean sure, I enjoy spending time with Freed, Lint and Asia but I hate being confined in Vatican City. I don't know how the others feel about it but I make sure not to hide my thoughts on the matter. Of course, the Institute workers just wave it off as nonsense before going back to whatever they were doing.
So tell me folks, how can a nine year old descendent of the most famous dragonslayer in history, like myself, find a way to connect to the world outside the city?
The answer lies in this! Kingdoms have risen and empires have turned to dust from its power! It has tainted the most purest of saints in the darkest of black and redeemed even the most heinous criminals known to man! Mods were born! Pubescent children worldwide are corrupted every day! Furry porn was created! It is...

[CaptainLevi: Too you long enough, Sumanai-San!]
[CrimsonSentaiX: Welcome back, Sumanai-San.]
The internet.
Sad to say but this is the only method I have to communicate with the world outside of the city. I've only made a couple of accounts so far since it isn't easy trying to get myself some personal time on the computers. Not when everyone wants to play games on them. Luckily for me, the library has a couple of computers that anyone hardly uses.
[Sumanai-San: Where's Smartest_Fly? I thought he would be online.]
[CrimsonSentaiX: He's currently busy. He said he'll be online tomorrow for sure.]
[CaptainLevi: Forget about him and listen to this! My little sister made me a gift all on her own!]
Somehow, I don't remember how, this thread had ended up becoming a place where elder siblings would gather. I can't really remember what it started off as but nowadays, all we do is just brag about our siblings or ask for advice. Of course, it's still a nice thread to visit from time to time, though we have to get rid of the more... expressive siblings.
[CrimsonSentaiX: Hoh? Not bad. However, my sister and I spending all of yesterday together!]
[CaptainLevi: What?!]
[CrimsonSentaiX: That's right. We were out all day, spending quality time together!]

[Strongest_Fire_Chicken: Greetings everyone.]
[Sumanai-San: Hey.]
[CaptainLevi: Sup.]
[CrimsonSentaiX: Welcome back.]
[Strongest_Fire_Chicken: So what seems to be happening now? Bragging contest again?]
[Sumanai-San: Got it in one!]
[Strongest_Fire_Chicken: I see. In that case, I got to sleep together with my younger sister last night.]
[CaptainLevi: WHAT!? THAT ISN'T FAIR!]
[CrimsonSentaiX: Tch! As much as I hate to say it, that is quite impressive!]
[Strongest_Fire_Chicken: How about you, Sumanai-San? You've been quiet for a while.]
[Sumanai-San: Heh, I hope you're all ready because i've officially pulled ahead of all three of you! I have another younger sister!]
[CaptainLevi: Another younger sister? Like, two of them? Two adorable, younger sisters?]
[Sumanai-San: And they call me "Onii-chan" ;D]
CaptainLevi has left the chat.
[CrimsonSentaiX: I think that Sumanai-San has won this one. Anyways, I should probably go and stop CaptainLevi from breaking something.]
[Strongest_Fire_Chicken: Or someone. Unfortunately, I will have to go as well. I was planning on staying online until I arrived at work. I shall see you next time.]
[Sumanai-San: That's fine. I wasn't planning on staying online for too long either. See you guys next time.]
[CrimsonSentaiX: Goodbye, Sumanai-San.]

Well that was awfully short. I suppose I should just move onto the next website...
Hmm? What's that sound? I can hear a commotion coming from outside the library. I pushed myself away from the computer and moved towards the window where I was easily able to see what was happening from my place at the second floor of the building.
In the garden, there were three boys currently cornering a girl. Is she... Is she being bullied? Well spank my ass and call me Betty, she is being bullied! This looks like a job for our friendly neighbourhood Childman!
I turned around, logged out the computer and just bolted like a mad man. Everyone in front of me just moved aside, some of the kids even looked afraid. I wonder why? Ah right, the feral grin on my face. I was sporting a smile that showed far too many teeth for anyone's liking.
Upon arrival, I saw that while they still hadn't harmed the girl in any way, they looked to be dangerously close to doing so. Without anymore hesitation, I pushed one of the kids-let's call him Dick for now-away from the girl and stood between them as I crossed my arms. There's three of them and one of me. If this ends up becoming a fight, i'll be taking the three of them on by myself.
I like the sound of them odds.
"You fools who dare to attack the innocent!" I began, one hand covering my face and the other stretched out, "I have seen your crimes! Do not think that this protector of the innocent shall let you off easily!"
They're staring at me like im an idiot. Technically I am but I am having way too much fun right now to care. I'm a descendant of a famous hero who just came across an act of injustice, there is no way that i'm not going to roleplay.
"Who are you meant to be?" Dick sneers as he raised his chubby limbs menacingly. Does this kid really think he can scare me? Please, Sister Sophia's wooden ladle is more of an emotional threat than you'll ever be.
"Who am I? I am the one who pierces through the heavens! My blade of righteousness reaches all evil-doers and my fists of justice crush those who prey on the innocent!" I shot my hand up into the air and rested my other on my hip, "I am a Hero of Justice! And I will-!"
That little bitch! He punched me before I could finish!
"Get him!" Dick screams at his posse. The lanky kid with glasses, who I shall now call Megane-kun, and the fat kid behind him, henceforth dubbed as Tank, charged forward, fists raised and ready to pummel.
Fifteen seconds later...
This...may not have been one of my best ideas. Three against one had sounded so much better in my mind. You know, where I was winning.
I swung my right arm and two of the boys suddenly went flying. I blinked and stared at my hand before looking up again. Nope, that wasn't me. It was the blue missile that charged in like a wild animal.
"I'll kill you!" The blue missile snarled. No wait, that isn't a missile, it's another boy. A very angry looking boy.
Angry Child has joined the fight!
I lashed out with my leg, sweeping Megane-kun. As soon as he hits the ground, I jumped on him and we began exchanging blows. This is actually my first fight so I have no idea what I'm doing. I flail my limbs about, feeling some of then actually connect and push myself away from him.
I quickly stand up and find that he did the same. I was reminded of our resident Tank when he turned me around and punched me in the face. Bitch, that's going to leave a mark, even if it didn't hurt. I fall on ground and he mounts me, throwing punches at my face. I raised my arms in a guard, leaving my handsome face intact while Megane-kun just stands there smirking.
As soon as I saw an opportunity, I raised my knee and nailed him right in his nutsack. He didn't scream as he so much squealed, falling off and clutching his nuts. I cackled as I got up, ready to deliver some payback when Megane-kun decides to leave spectator mode and charges me. I bite back a curse as I land on the ground yet again and-
Oh hey, that cloud looks like a bunny.
I was interrupted once again when Megane-kun decided to punch me in the face. He's a lot lighter than Tank so it was easy getting him off me. I kicked him away and punched him in the stomach. As he hunched over, I raised my other arm and screamed, "GOD HAND!", bringing my fist down on the back of his head.
All of a sudden, I hear my ally spew out some pretty dark words and Dick fell down on the ground. He tries to get up but I tackle him back down. Huh, the view is so much nicer when I'm the one mounting someone else-that's what she said!
My fists rain down on his body, attacking anywhere i can. I managed to land some good blows before he tried to force me off with sheer strength. Unfortunately for him, i've been working out. It was an easy task to force him back onto the ground and begin my assault once more. From the corner of my eye, I noticed that his knee was positioned directly below my-
?!£?$%?!
I let out a small cry as I clutched my nether region. I don't care what anyone says, I was not crying. Nope. It was just the rain. Yes, that's right. It was raining on a sunny day with no clouds nearby, that's all that happened.
Before Dick could kick me, the boy came out of nowhere and clung onto Dick's back like the freaking spider-monkey he is, pulling him back down onto the ground. They were a mess of tangled limbs as punches and kicks were delivered. He backed off from Dick after receiving a nasty kick to the stomach, forcing him to get off him.
I shared a quick glance with the stranger before the both of us nodded. We both charged at Dick together and teamed up on him. We weathered every blow sent our way and retaliated with more intensity. It was a fight that would go down in legends; the legend of King Arthur's got nothing on us. The fight went on for longer than I would have wanted but we finally managed to take him down in the end.
So there we were. Three kids groaning on the ground and two bloodied kids grinning like a pack of wild animals. We just took down a group of three at the age of 9, this is definitely going into my auto biography. Dick got up again but grabbed his friends and left as a whimpering mess.
Battle complete! You found 2 potential friends and 1 potential imouto-material!
I took in the appearance of my unexpected ally: blue hair and crimson eyes, shared by the younger girl standing behind the two of us. Looking closer, I saw that he was missing a tooth. Not just that but his hair was all messed up, he had a cut on his lip and there was a rather nasty bruise on his left cheek. I had no doubt I was looking just as bad as he was, if not worse, but we couldn't stop grinning like idiots.
"My name's Rion, and that's Riel over there. We're from the Sivrit series." the boy greeted as he offered a handshake. I grasped his hand firmly and shook it, the grin never leaving neither of our faces.
Riel and Rion have joined the party!
"Siegfried of the Völsung series, nice to meet you." I greeted before turning to the girl in question. I noticed a while ago that she never stopped staring at me. It was honestly starting to become a little bit unnerving. "Uhh... Nice to meet you."
"Hn." She replied before moving to stand behind Rion who looked a bit disappointed. The three of us turned around when we heard voices coming our way, the Institute workers' voices to be exact. From the tone of their voices, and the way Dick, Tank and Megane-kun are crying, they sounded pretty angry. It won't be hard for me to turn this situation around to make me and our resident twins out to be the victims.
Daily workouts, magic training, two adorable little sister figures, and now I get to fight children and get away with a warning.
Damn, I love this life.
I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FILTHY DEGENERATES!
I didn't think that this story would get so many follows and favourites with just two chapters! Seriously guys, 509 followers, 348 favourites and 1 community in just two chapters! Thank you for that, it seriously makes me happy seeing how many people like this story.
I've actually had ideas for multiple stories and tried writing up more but after a couple of PM's, I decided to focus on this story for now. I'll probably publish more stories later on though.
As for the Fate characters, I've decided not to use them. This is because if i just keep throwing in Fate characters, it may as well be a DxD Fate crossover. However, i will include the weapons and abilities of the Nasuverse, as well as hero descendants.
Also, let me know if you prefer long chapters updated between long intervals or short chapters updated more regularly.
So Riel and Rion, the next two members of our story have been introduced! I will admit that their appearance is modelled after that of Cu Chulainn from the Nasuverse, but that's where the similarities will end; they won't really have anything to do with him. Anyways, these two are not going to be as consistent as the main cast but they'll still show up during critical parts of the story.
Next chapter is going to be when they're inducted into the Training Program so look forward to that.
And now to reply to some of the reviews:
[DisgruntledSlav] Yeah, that was an accident. I've already fixed that little mistake but thanks for bringing it up. As for Freed, he isn't completely like Kotomine Kirei. He actually has a chance at redemption, though I guess it isn't that easy to tell.
[Xandou] To be honest, I was planning on leaving it as Rune magic as I don't want him to be similar to any other heroes other than Sigurd and Siegfried. Well, that was the plan but i've seen multiple reviews asking as to whether or not Siegfried will be wielding Gae Bolg. If more people want to see Siegfried wielding Gae Bolg, then I suppose i'll have to think about it.
[Kensei-1085] CQC is definitely going to be a part of his arsenal. As for Fate characters, I've already stated above that there won't be any Fate characters being introduced. As for canon!Siegfried being lame... Yeah, he was pretty lame. That was actually my reason behind this fanfic. He wielded five demon swords but died far too early, and we never even got to see his weapons in full action. So yes, this fanfiction is essentially being fuelled by sheer spite towards canon.
[ArashiSenju] Sorry buddy but Siegfried won't be joining a peerage. I don't want him to be joining any peerages but I may have to think about whether or not he should reincarnate as an Angel or not. I suppose we'll both have to wait and see what happens later on, eh?
[Gen2324] As interesting as it sounds, there is no way for him to obtain Fafnir's wisdom by eating his heart. To do so would require him killing Fafnir, which isn't a walk in the park. Fafnir is also going to be important later on in the story, just as he was in canon. Now, bathing in his blood is an entirely separate matter...
