Life: 14
The Bael estate was much larger than the Sallos estate as much as it pains me to admit such a thing. Upon entering the castle I was greeted by the sight of Zekram and two people I've never seen before that I assume are lord and lady Bael. Lord Bael stared daggers at me, meanwhile lady Bael seemed indifferent to my arrival.
"My apologies if I kept you all waiting." I say taking a bow.
"You're perfectly on time, no need to apologize." Zekram dismissed me.
"Zekram, so this is the boy you were telling us about? I'm not impressed in the slightest. Have you perhaps gone senile in your old age?" Lord Bael said still keeping his hate filled gaze on me.
"Hush boy, the adults are talking." Zekram barked out at lord Bael.
Lord Bael went silent after that and stopped staring daggers at me.
"Now, where is this Peerage member you talked about?" Zekram asked and I gave a smile before calling out Killer Queen, granted nobody but I could see him.
"Killer Queen, my first Pawn piece, I'm certain you can feel his presence correct?" I asked which Zekram nodded.
"An invisible Peerage Member, I can see how that would be useful but how is it stronger then Fenrir?" He questioned putting a smile on my face.
"I'm glad you asked." I directed Killer Queen to touch a book on the bookshelf and gestured for everyone to watch it.
Upon all of them looking at the book, it vanished. It just disintegrated before their eyes.
"..." Everyone was silent.
"So about my terms and conditions, as I'm sure you're aware I want the Sallos family to be from Duke to King status. Also while I'm willing to let you use my Pawn it should be noted he's still very much my Pawn. Otherwise, feel free to use him however you see fit." I proposed and sure enough he agreed.
"Excellent." I smile at hearing that, at least I won't have to resort to using Bites the Dust here and now.
"Now then, you two lave us." Zekram ordered lord and lady Bael.
"So what's this about?" I ask and Zekram smirked.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" He questioned and I just held a confused look on my face.
"Was it not for the sake of obtaining more power?" I asked and he scoffed at that.
"I don't need more power. I'm already the most powerful man in the Underworld." Zekram boasted.
"But do you know who is stronger than me?" He asked and I shook my head.
"That would be none other than Lucifer himself. And I mean the original not that Gremory boy who gave himself the title." Zekram explained much to my surprise.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked and Zekram's smirk grew.
"I take it nobody's ever told you then?" He inquired.
"Told me about what?" My question was met with a laugh.
"Child you're power feels exactly the same as Lucifer. I dare say you might just be the second coming of Lucifer." He said and I felt my world shattered, so people can feel my perks...great…

"So what now?" I question and he looks at me with an interested look in his eyes.
"Now, I have to ask what intentions do you have for the future?" He asked and I just stared at him for a moment.
"Becoming the Champion of the Rating Games." My answer was met with a shake of the head from Zekram.
"You think too small. With your power you could set your sights on becoming a Satan. Why settle for anything less?" He asks and I roll my eyes.
"Because it's what I want to do. It might be small but I'm going to give it my all to become the reigning champion." I speak with a fire burning inside me, do doubt he could see it himself.
"Very well, if that is what you intend to do then who am I to question it. But just keep in mind the position as the next Lucifer is a good as yours if you ever wish to broaden your horizons." He said and I smiled and nodded my head.
Upon returning to the Sallos estate I was Greeted by Koneko who pushed me onto a couch and took her favorite seat, my lap. I held her in my arms to better ensure she wouldn't fall.
"So what gives with this special occasion?" I ask and she turned her gaze to me.
From there her tail and ears came out.
"I've made progress with senjutsu." She said with her tail swaying from side to side.
"Oh? Well, in that case I can only think of one thing to reward you with." I say before leaning forward and taking her lips with mine.
We stayed like that for a few minutes before we both had to seperate.
"I could get used to this as my reward." Koneko said with a small tinge of pink on her cheeks.
"I'm sure you would." I say with a laugh.
I start petting her head with my hand.
"Oh right I almost forgot." I say holding out a bag of sweets that I hand off to her.
"Are these…?" Koneko's eyes widen.
"Yup, your favorite." I say as she takes them and starts eating.
"Thank you." She says in between bites.
While she was eating her sweets I turned my attention to the news playing on the tv. They were covering the meeting between the devil kings and Gabriel. No one was sure what purpose this meeting had or what brought it on but there were plenty of theories. All ranging from a declaration of war to Gabriel agreeing to be on Serafall's show.
I too had to wonder what purpose this meeting had as well. There was never a mention of this having happened in cannon so I can only imagine what had brought this on.
"Is that Barisol I hear?" Leo's sister Michella said as she rolled into the room courtesy of Mittens who was still wearing his butler attire.
"Thank you Mittens." She said to the wendigo butler.
"Yes mistress Michella." Mittens spoke before taking a bow.
"Anything else?" He asked which Michella replies that she was fine and that if she needed him she'd call him over.
"Oh my I hadn't noticed that you two where in the middle of something. Although I must admit Barisol it must do you wonders for your pride as a man to have all these cute girls after your attention." Michella said making Koneko growl.
"Watch it. I don't like what your saying." Koneko said with a glare.
"But you know it's true between you, the Phenex girl, Le Fay, and Jack plus that Xenovia girl from the other day. You're doing great for yourself." She giggles into her hand.
"Why are you bringing this up now?" I asked and she gives me an odd look before bopping herself on the head.
"Sorry, I guess this is a better topic with everyone present." Michella speaks in a coy manner.
"I prefer you not to bring it up at all." I can feel the blood vessel in my forehead pounding away in my head.
"Really? Because I thought we were having a nice conversation." She responded.
Suddenly a magic circle bearing the crest of Lucifer appeared and out of it came Grayfia. Her face was an emotionless mask but once her eyes met mine I saw her red orbs light up.
"Grafyai! What do we owe a visit from the strongest queen?" Michella chirped.
"I'm here to retrieve Barisol Sallos, his presence is requested by Ajuka Beelzebub and Sirzechs Lucifer." She responded in curt manner.
"Oh, I wonder are you in some trouble again Barisol?" Michella questioned with a slight snicker.
"I hope not." My reply caused the girl to lose all signs of teasing as she looked on in a serious manner.
"Is he Grayfia?" She asked the silver haired maid.
"I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to tell." Grayfia's reply wasn't what either of us to hear.
"Barisol will be alright." Koneko said drawing all of our attention to the girl sitting on my lap.
"He hasn't done anything wrong." She reaffirmed.
"Your faith in your King is commendable." Grayfia said before taking a step forward.
"I suppose we'll be needing to go now." I asked and she nods her head.
"I'm afraid so. Come along." I got up from my position and joined Grayfia who had activated a teleportation circle.
We appeared outside the meeting room for some reason that I was unaware until I felt Grayfia put her lips to mine, which I found myself returning with equal passion. We waited a few minutes before we broke apart a bridge of saliva between us. I was speechless and she was blushing.
"I want you to know that I won't allow anything bad to happen to you. I'd rather kill everyone in that room before letting them harm so much as a hair on your head." She swore which made me feel both relieved and worried.
I didn't get a chance to say anything as we were then called in. Inside the room sat the four Satans and Gabriel who had to do a double take of me the moment I entered the room which I find odd but I digress.
"Barisol sorry to have to call you on such short notice." Sirzechs said with a goofy smile on his face.
"It's no problem. If the four of you are in need of my services then I am happy to help in any way I can." I say with a smile of my own being sure to take in all the looks of everyone in the room.
Both Sirzechs and Serafall had smiles, Ajuka had a scowl, Falbium was asleep because of course he is, and Gabriel held a curious expression.
"That's great to hear!" Serafall said excitedly.
"I need a magical boy for my show, and I think you'll be perfect! What do you say?" She asked with stars in her eyes.
"I'd be delighted." I answer and I see Ajuka facepalm much to my amusement.
"Can we get on track please?" Ajuka requested much to Serafall's disappointment.
"Right, so why am I here exactly?" I ask and was met with Sirzechs putting on his serious face.
"We were discussing a few topics, one of which being the fact that somehow a devil child such as yourself was made aware of the fact that the God of the Bible is dead." Sirzechs announced and I had to think back.
When did I ever mention something like that?
"If it helps the exact statement you gave was and I quote, "It's not like I'm praying I'm literally saying his name in vain so stop hurting me Michael" end quote." Gabriel said and I suddenly felt like an idiot.
"That was from a long time ago." I mutter out but she heard me.
"Yes, well there was quite a few things keeping this meeting from happening for quite some time now." She said interlacing her fingers together.
"And now that I've met you it seems you are another reason why I came here." Gabriel said looking at me with narrowed eyes.
"And what reason would that be?" This time Ajuka spoke out and while he won't admit it to anyone I can tell that he was more defensive towards me.
"A while back the system picked up a signal that it hasn't in hundreds of years. We spent some time trying to find the cause for the signal return some of us believing it to be a bug others fearing the worst. That signal was the return of Lucifer, in other words Barisol Sallos you are in the possession of the soul of the original Lucifer." Gabriel revealed making everyone gasp in the room.
"It know makes sense as to why you'd know about father's death. Afterall you were there, well sort of anyway." Gabriel said finishing her statement.
"So what now?" I ask not sure how things will pan out from here.
I say we cut off his head!
Game no one asked you.
"Hmm, this does make things difficult. However both Ajuka and myself have known Barisol for quite some time. I have no doubt that he'll keep God's death a secret, won't you?" Sirzechs asked and I nod.
"Haven't told a soul nor do I plan on it." I say and he smiles.
"While that's all fine and dandy. I'm afraid I'm more worried about the other issue of him being the reincarnation of Lucifer." Gabriel said.
"Who's to say that he won't try to restart the war, if he did, he'd no doubt have the support of the Old Satan Faction and who knows how many devils would rally around him upon learning of his identity." Gabriel said still keeping her eyes on me.
"Why would I want to restart the war? The last one was devastating enough besides I would prefer to have a peace treating with Heaven not a war with it." I say making Gabriel relax a little.
"I sense no deceit from you. That is a relief." Gabriel smiled.
"However I would still feel more comfortable if someone would watch young Barisol at all times." Gabriel said.
"Very well, Grayfia." Sirzechs called.
"Yes lord?" She bowed her head.
"Would you mine transferring over to Barisol Sallos' peerage for the time being and keeping an eye on him until we can better tell his intentions." Sirzechs asked and she nodded her head.
"It would be my honor to take on such a task." She said no doubt hiding her inner excitement.
