Cyber DxD Normal life … sort of
Issei stood in front of a small 3 bedroom house in North Kuoh, this house was his childhood home, where both he and his parents lived, the house looked like it hadn't been maintained very well over the years. Issei used his NAS to open the lock with a thin blade, reshaping it to the lock to open the door, once inside he took a few steps into the hallway and took off his boots. Everything was how they left it 5 years ago, everything was now coated in a layer of dust, and the smell of rotten food hung in the house, but it could be cleaned up and put back exactly how it was.
'So this is your home?' E.V.E. spoke breaking the silence.
"Was, and will be again, it needs some work done but I'll call it home again." Issei spoke, his voice starting to break from the flood of memories from his childhood. He made his way to the kitchen and opened the fridge, everything was rotten the shelves were stained so badly that the fridge itself would have to be scrapped. Issei lifted the fridge out into the back yard which was overgrown and in need of an army of landscapers to fix.
'So I guess dinner isn't on the menu tonight?' E.V.E. pondered from Issei's mind.
"Oh no, I'm eating tonight, but first I need to clean a couple things up." Issei spoke, his voice no longer breaking but rather showing a confidence that he had before. About an hour and a half of cleaning later as well as airing the entire house the smell of rotten food had mostly gone with the air now circulating around the house. Issei sat down and turned on the TV, remarkably the power was still on, probably since his parents had a lot of money saved up in case of unemployment.
It was 6pm and Issei had been watching gameshows for a good two hours, hungry as all hell he got up and started to close all of the windows and opening the vents on top of them.
'Going out are we?" E.V.E. asked trying to see what he was looking for in his implants.
"Well, I have to eat don't I?" Issei started back. He left the house and locked up heading down into the commercial district for something to eat. He found a general store just down the road with an ATM machine round the back. Using his cyber warfare suit he blocked all cameras and moved up to hack the machine. It was hardly a challenge since he was used to hacking a government facility in 5 maybe 10 seconds, and within 3 the machine had started spitting money out at him.
'I promise I'll find a way to give this back some day' Issei apologised as he had just taken the equivalent of $2000 from the ATM. He continued into the city to find a restaurant or a takeaway to have something to eat. It was the end of winter so nights were dark pretty early, but tonight it was nice and warm. Issei had noticed a lot of girls out shopping in the area, all of them wearing the same sort of uniform.
'Kuoh Academy sports those uniforms, since I can see you eyeing them up like a wolf.' E.V.E. cut in.
'I know, when we get back home I'm applying to join, after all I need something to create a cover.' Issei shot back, thankfully the neural link between him and his AI meant he didn't have to speak out loud.
After about 5 minutes Issei found what he was looking for, he found a local pizza takeaway and wasted no time heading there, he walked out quite happy at the 16 inch pizza he'd just bought and set off home to demolish it.
Back at home Issei was watching TV, eating pizza and applying to Kuoh at the same time, his time in the subsea base had given him grades that he could enter high school with so upon entering them into the schools online application form it accepted him without any problems. He was invited to attend a meeting with the school principal where he would collect his uniform and a class list.
Happy with his accomplishments for today Issei decided to head to bed early, after cleaning out all the old possessions apart from working appliances and some bed covers Issei claimed his parents old room as his new one, after locking up and stripping down he fell asleep for what would be one of the worst night's sleep he has ever had.
"Issei, come on, we're going to the park." A woman's voice echoed.
"It sure is dead for a Sunday afternoon." A man's voice followed
"No! You're not taking my baby!" the woman's voice echoed out again this time in anger mixed with fear.
Then came a third voice Issei knew all too well.
"Mom! Dad!" a little boy's voice screamed in fear.
BANG!...BANG!
Issei woke up the next morning with a cold sweat running down his head breathing heavy clearly shaken by what he'd dreamt of the night before.
'Issei, was that…' E.V.E. began.
"Yeah, the day I was abducted by the government and the day my parents were murdered in cold blood." Issei said, hatred laced his words as he remembered the retribution he got on those responsible the day before.
After his shower and getting dressed using his nano forge system Issei called for a waste disposal van, he planned to get rid of the old fridge and his parent's old stuff. After the stuff was gone Issei surveyed the house, now looking back to normal aside from the outside being in need of tending to he decided to head back down to the commercial district to get two things, one was a new fridge, the other was an AI jack that would allow E.V.E. to take control of the houses different electrical devices as well as give her a some more space to operate in.
After buying his new items Issei went to a local store to get some groceries in since takeaway for every meal sounded great, but Issei had to watch his health and he didn't want his cooking knowledge to go to waste. Arriving home at around noon Issei started on dinner, while that was cooking he set up the AI jack and plugged E.V.E. in.
"Analysing building layout, taking control of appliances, now then let's get this place spotless." E.V.E. announced as the vacuum began to make rounds cleaning the dust out of the carpets. Issei meanwhile returned to the kitchen and hacked a local bank giving him an account with $1500 starting cash.
"E.V.E. I'm giving you access to my bank account I just 'acquired' change the bills from my father's old accounts to this one, also have a look at the stock markets and have fun making bankers cry." Issei said casually letting the AI into his account.
As Issei finished off his lunch consisting of duck rolls and fried rice E.V.E. popped up on the AI jack pedestal. She had taken on the form of a woman in a red cyber jumpsuit with long hair, he body shape was similar to the normal AIs in the sense that they all had the same style of body of Cortana, from the halo games of the Xbox 360 era of gaming.
"Haha, I just took 3 and a half thousand dollars of a crooked CEO trying to cut into a deal that's about to fall through in 3…2…1… there it goes." E.V.E. laughed speaking with joy in her synthetic voice like she was actually enjoying making people's lives a misery. With the house clean and money coming in, Issei decided to book a gardener and a house painter to come out and finish off the outside of the house since E.V.E. was pulling in about $500 an hour from making cold and calculative bets on the stock exchanges.
Issei had been home for the past 3 days, his new fridge had arrived, the house was looking back up to scratch and E.V.E. …. Well she wasn't happy that Issei had pulled her from her stock market base in the house to go to see the Academy and meet the principal. Issei was walking back from the office after collecting his uniform, walking back through the school he noticed a red haired beauty watching him from one of the older buildings on site.
'Damn, I'd hit that all night long!' Issei thought to himself after seeing the girl watching him.
'Well she does seem to be checking you out' E.V.E. agreed encouraging Issei to go for it when he started on Monday.
"Akeno, who was that leaving the main building just now?" The red haired girl spoke to her best friend and only other person in the room.
"Who? Him? That's Issei Hyoudou, sort of an enigma already here, he starts on Monday and from what I've seen of his records he'll be starting in class 2B, and he's crazy smart." the elegant girl with long black hair replied "Why? You interested in him already Rias?" she quickly added.
"In a way, something is different about him, I'm not sure but it's something powerful." The red haired girl replied, completely fixated on the boy leaving the school grounds.
Ok that's the first two done, so if you haven't guessed it, Issei is an artificially enhanced human with his own AI, his body has been modified in so many ways it's difficult to call him human however he still looks the same, only he looks like he has already gone through the underworld training with Tannin. His body is also filled with Nanite reservoirs that allow him to flash forge anything he wishes including clothes, weapons and other items, although before he can create them he needs to know how to and that comes from him actually holding the object. I'm going to give it a week or two to see how this is received to see if I should continue it on. So please review so I can see if I should continue or just leave it as is. Till next time!
