On his way to the ORC room, Issei suddenly stopped as he read the manga he received from the Gacha. Anger and irritation can be seen in his eyes, and the more he read the manga, the more he got pissed. The good mood of having been Sona's fiancé candidate was ruined.

"What in fresh hell is this?!" Issei shouted. He couldn't believe that there was a version of him that would commit such vile acts. "System, is this a joke?!".

[It's sad to say that it's not. The book you're reading is another version of your world]

'This is pissing me off!" Issei shouted. His eye was twitching out of anger. Issei looked at the book in hand and spoke to the system again. "System! Tell me! Can I head to the world of this manga?!".

[It is possible]

"Good! After I give Rias and the others my gifts, I'm heading there!" Issei said. He was planning to teach that world's Issei a lesson or two. Right now, Issei's face looks like that of a Demon Lord. One can feel the anger and irritation in his eyes. "Let's see how long he'll survive once he meets me! Oh! I can't wait!".

As pissed as Issei was, he had to calm himself while meeting with friends. Once more, Issei started heading to the ORC room.

When he arrived in the ORC room, Issei saw that Rias and the others were there, including Azazel, who happened to become the club supervisor after the Peace Summit.

"Issei! Thank you so much!" Rias said. Thanks to the Power of Law, Issei was able to make Rias move in Gasper's stopped time. "I truly appreciate your help".

"No problem," Issei said. He smiled at Rias. Seeing Rias, Issei felt pity for her counterpart from the manga he read. "By the way, I came here to give you guys some gifts from my latest adventure".

Issei took out multiple Legend Rank Storage Rings. He gave one to Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Kiba. For some reason, Issei felt a shiver when he gave a ring to Kiba, but he didn't know why. So, he decided to shrug it off for now.

"Those rings are called Storage rings. They can store just about any inanimate object and non-living organism," Issei said. He then proceeded to explain how to use the rings. "I also left some useful pills inside the ring that you could use in an emergency, except for Koneko. I added a boatload of snacks in hers as extra".

Koneko smiled at Issei and started to take some of the snacks out and eat them.

Rias and the others looked inside the ring, and they saw many different containers that contained pills. Each was labelled so that they wouldn't make any mistakes about what pill they take.

"Those are quite in items," Azazel said. He was interested in the ring, and Issei could see that, but Azazel wasn't getting one. "Do you mind if I can get one and research it?".

"How about…no," Issei said. Azazel wasn't a bad person, but why would Issei give him anything when he didn't know him personally. "Anyways, I need to get going. I have something important to do".

Issei didn't wait for the others to say goodbye before he opened a portal to the front of his house and entered it.

Once Issei was home, he entered his room and read the rest of the manga. It honestly infuriates him. Oppai this, Oppai that! Is there anything else in the brain of the Issei from the manga? After the Rating Game with Riser, Issei in the comics didn't even take the initiative to train harder to ensure that such a loss would not happen again. Instead, he returned to being a pervert who would sexually harass any women he encountered.

While Issei was reading the manga, he had a visitor in his room.

"Issei! I heard from Sona about you being her fiancé candidate! Congratulations!" Serafall shouted with enthusiasm. However, when she saw Issei's eyes, she knew something was wrong. "Issei? Was wrong?".

Issei showed the manga to Serafall, and she laughed her ass off. Why would she do that? To lighten the mood. Serafall didn't like seeing Issei in such a downcast mood. Her laughing worked as Issei vented his anger and frustration verbally. But in the end, he was able to calm down and no longer look as dejected as earlier.

"Thanks, Sera," Issei said. After venting, he was feeling better. "Reading that manga pissed me off and ruined the good mood of being Sona's fiancé candidate".

"Oh, it's okay. Why were you so angry anyway?" Serafall asked. Looking at the book, it was nothing more than a simple book. Someone probably made it as a joke. "It's not like it's real".

"That's the thing! It is real! It's a parallel world!" Issei said. He then explained to Serafall that there are other worlds, such as parallel worlds of DxD or an entirely new universe. Serafall couldn't believe that she wasn't invited to go to another world. "Come on, Sera, don't pout. How about I bring you to another world next time? Just the two of us?".

"That's a wonderful idea!" Serafall said. She looked at Issei and felt that he would do something to the Issei from the manga. "Then bring me to the DxD world of the manga! Before you say anything, I already know that you're planning to mess with that world's Issei. So, count me in. Plus, I want to mess with another world's Sona-chan!".

"He-he-he! That would be hilarious," Issei said. His mood was finally back to normal. "I'm planning to go now. Do you want to join me?".

"Of course! Why wouldn't I?" Serafall said. But then Serafall remembered Issei telling her that he had just returned from his adventure. "But are you okay going to another world so soon? I mean, the Peace Party or whatever they call it is coming soon. Plus, can we bring Raynare with us?".

"Hmm…I don't mind going to another world now. The time of our world would be slowed down by 1:24. One day here, is twenty-four in the other world. So, there's nothing to worry about," Issei said. He looked at Serafall and did a thinking pose. "AS for bringing Raynare, I don't know if that's such a good idea. I want to beat the shit out of the Issei from the manga, but bringing Raynare would traumatise him further. He's quite unlucky to have such a bitchy Raynare in his world".

"It'll be fine! I think…" Serafall said. She was thinking if it was actually going to be okay. Not long later, she made a decision. "Definitely, it'll be fine!".

"What'll be fine?" Raynare asked. Issei and Serafall looked behind them and saw her. When Raynare looked at what they were reading, she got curious. So, she took the book and read it. Raynare felt embarrassed at seeing a version of her act like a slut and a bitch. She even felt worried. "W-What is this?! This is nothing like me! I'll never hurt Issei like this! I have no reason to do so! You believe me, right, Issei?!".

"Calm down, Raynare," Issei said. Raynare was going crazy from embarrassment. Sure, Raynare wore dominatrix clothing before, but to act the way Raynare acted in the manga was too much for Raynare. But what truly made Raynare act the way she did was seeing a Raynare that killed Issei. "I know that you wouldn't do such a thing. The Raynare in the book isn't you".

"Is it because of this book that Serafall said something is fine?" Raynare asked. Issei nodded at her. "You're planning to head to this world, aren't you?".

"I am. And Serafall suggested you come with, but that world's Issei was traumatised by you. So, I thought bringing you along wouldn't be the best thing," Issei said. He then looked at Serafall. "However, Sera thinks otherwise".

"Hmm…I don't know if I want to come," Raynare said. Not because she would traumatise the other Issei, but because she didn't want to come near him. "I don't think I'll ever want to come close to that version of you, Issei".

"By the way, Issei. Was it also your dream to be a Harem King?" Serafall asked. She was messing with Issei. "He has a lot of people in love with him, but he doesn't even acknowledge their feelings. Asia, Rias and the Akeno of that world during the Peace Summit are in love with him, but he refuses to accept their feelings".

"It's not surprising if you consider what Raynare of that world did. He's probably afraid to feel that way again," Raynare said. Re-reading the manga, she understood. "I think he's fooling himself that the girls interested in him are only joking. I understand other Issei thinking Akeno's flirting as a joke since she's been doing that from the beginning, but not when it comes to Asia and Rias".

Issei was thinking the same thing as Raynare. The Issei from the manga tried to protect his feelings from being broken again. Issei pitied the Issei from the manga, but it wouldn't save him from being beaten up.

In fact, Issei was smirking and thinking of ways to bash his counterpart. Too bad that the manga ended during the Peace Summit in Kuoh Academy. Then again, isn't that the same timeline as his? Issei shrugged his shoulder and held onto Raynare and Serafall.

Issei then remembered that Raynare said she didn't know if she wanted to come with him. However, it was already too late.
