I own nothing related to the Highschool DxD franchise only the OC I am creating for this story.

The Forgotten Son

Never had to introduce someone to my life before but here goes nothing.

My name is John Gray

I was born to a single mother she knew nothing of my father as far as I know and she died shortly after giving birth to me due to complications with my birth so I will probably never know if she ever knew anything anyway.

I was raised by my grandparents from then on and I'm so thankful for that because the horror stories I've heard about the orphanages around the UK are sometimes enough to give me nightmares.

Not to say that all orphanages are terrible places but you hear the stories none the less.

I was born in USA as my mother had flown out almost as soon as she turned 18 so she could pursue a career in acting or as my grandad says in one of his more depressed and bitter moments "to chase fame".

After her death the local authorities in Los Angeles contacted them to see if they wanted to take me on or if they didn't want anything to do with me.

Grandad often refers to it as one of the most bittersweet moments of his life as not only was this when they found out they had lost my mother but they also found out she had a baby to remember her by.

They flew out and collected both me and my mother's body and flew us both back to the UK where they buried her in the local cemetery.

I was raised in Manchester England from then on and never went back to the USA as it held to many bad feelings of grief for my grandparents.

I went to a public school despite my grandma wanting me to go to a private school but my grandad laying the law so to speak that there was no way his grandson was going to end up spoiled and self-entitled.

That's not to say I didn't get everything I ever needed from them but they usually made me work for it for example when I was eleven I wanted a new gaming console and they got it for me but to teach me my grandad made me get a paper round so I could buy my own games for it.

I was an active kid I loved sports like Football (actual football not that American kind) and Rugby and played for various weekend teams around the Manchester area growing up.

I'd like to tell you I could have gone pro with either but that's not the case I would have needed a smidgen of luck to make it semi pro in either sport but that never stopped my love for them

I was put into a boxing school at around 7/8 as my grandad wanted me to learn the discipline that the sport inherently teaches and I enjoyed that as well I was good at boxing good enough to be considered the champion of my age bracket in the Manchester area for 3 years while I was an amateur.

School was always something I enjoyed from the times I got to spend with the other kids to a lot of the lessons I had, I was always very good at the language lessons and I had a mind for maths as well.

Sadly, my story takes a bit of a turn here as when I was 13 my grandma got cancer and sadly there was nothing the doctors could do about it.

She died within 3 months of being diagnosed and it broke mine and my grandad's hearts.

But we pushed on and we buried her with my mother as she would have wanted the whole thing seemed to take a toll on my grandad and his smiles seemed dimmer from then on.

I was 15 when my grandad died because a drunk driver ploughed into a bank with his car injuring/killing him and 5 others the driver himself was pronounced dead at the scene so no real reason for his actions were given except that he was drunk.

That was about a month ago which brings us to the here and now.

I'm currently standing in terminal 3 of Heathrow airport in London waiting to leave as I can't stay on my own here nor would I want to.

Thankfully my grandads' brother has agreed to take care of me despite him only meeting me 2 or 3 times in my whole life the downside is he lives in japan.

I have a family friend looking after the house I grew up in as its waiting to be sold and most of my belongings are already on the way via an international courier service what wasn't essential has already been sold and the lawyer that handled my grandparents wills has handled all the legal issues related to me moving to japan.

He can't give me the details quite yet but has assured me that my grandparents have left me very financially secure for when I can legally inherit what they've left me per my grandads wishes at sixteen.

It is just now dawning on me that I haven't even mentioned what I look like so here is a rough idea for you to work with.

I'm 5'8 at 15 years old which means I might end up matching my grandads 6'3 height when I stop growing who knows, my lifetime of sports has translated to quite the stocky build, I have broad shoulders and am overall quite in shape for my age, I've got blonde hair and with light blue eyes I would go as far as to say I'm quite handsome and the few girlfriends I had growing up would probably agree.

And that people is roughly how the first 15 years of my life went and as I'm about to start a new journey in my life there is very little else I can tell you.

Hearing the boarding call for my flight I grab my bag and get ready to start the next stage of my life japan is calling me and I'm not going to look back.

A/N

Hello folks first story I've ever written and I will try to keep all the major plot details that I can to myself for now but here is roughly what I'm hoping for.

A single pairing. I know this is DxD and the thought of the main character not having a harem is generally not on but it's how I'm going to do it

The father will come into the story at some point but that will be awhile away and it's probably not what most are expecting even then they won't be appearing all that often.

The OC will not be OP they will be strong but OP OC story's get boring very fast I'm going to try to give them a lot better power growth than canon gives to Issei

I will be trying for weekly or every second week updates but no promises as life sometimes gets it th way.

Thanks for ready and I hope you enjoy
