"Talk," someone says
"Dragon, Game Talk/thought/spells, Quest/Rewards! Someone says.
"Thoughts," Someone says
Disclaimer: I do not own this story if I did, I would be sleeping in a bed full of money.
Let's begin!
-Next day-
I wake up and see that it's almost time for my meeting with Azazel, something that I'm expecting to go well, considering that he and I hold some similar interests regarding Sacred Gears.
Before I get into that, Hestia.
What do you want?
I've got two questions for you.
Ask away
First, why haven't I been showing more of my autistic traits?
Because [Gamer's Mind] shuts off any foreign emotions that will hinder your rationality. Besides, there are other ways that you have proven that you were autistic.
Such as...
When you go out to train rather than socialize or when you're rather blunt with your words, even though other people will see it as you being cold.
Come to think of it, your mild autism kinda makes you look like a psychopath.
Wait, are you calling me a psychopath because of how I killed those rogue exorcists?
Yep!
I'm sorry, was I supposed to mourn those motherfuckers with sad music playing in the background or some shit?!
We weren't even allies yet you want me to care for those morons!
Well, when you put it like that, I suppose they weren't meant to live long.
THANK YOU!
I get dressed then walk downstairs and wait for Azazel to show up.
Sighing in slight annoyance, I decide to use my [Gacha Token] and see what I get.
Rolling tokens...
Place gained!
Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Description: The Room of Spirit and Time or the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is a mysterious dimension outside of Universe 7, but can be accessed from the universe via different doorways.
One day of real-world time is equivalent to one year inside the Chamber, or one minute of real-time is approximately six hours, five minutes, and 15 seconds in the Chamber
Note: It has been put in a random room in your house so it can be easily accessed and no other members from other factions will be able to sense it. It can also regulate this Earth's normal gravity for easier accommodations.
Okay, first of all, how the fuck did I land on THAT?!
Second of all, FUCKING AWESOME!
That will be a good place for the girls to train in when they need it.
It's useless to me as I have [Dungeons] to help me grind whenever I want to so again, pretty useless for me but still for them.
Next pull, please!
Item gained
A bottle of Water
Description: A basic bottle of water. What did you expect moron?
Oh haha.
Next pull then.
Item gained
PlayStation 5
Description: An entertainment game system known as PlayStation 5 with 2 wireless controllers.
Sweet, I was so busy with school and grinding that I never had time to buy a game system or play video games, I'm going to have some fun with that!
Seeing as there are only two left, I'll use one and leave the other for when I stack up on tokens.
Final pull, please!
Flaw gained!
Psychopath
Description: You are a person affected by a chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour.
Enemies will be wary when dealing with you and allies will fear you when you lose all sense of reason.
Oh great.
Just what I needed.
A punishment from you, huh Hestia?
Well, no one told you to kill those rogue exorcists!
Oh for the love-!
Was one of them your best friend or some shit like that?
Because for someone who acts like she doesn't give a shit about others, you sure are doing a lousy job.
Yeah, yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night Gamer.
Hmph, arrogant bitch.
Spoiled brat.
Oh, fuck you.
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
Azazel's almost here. You might want to get ready.
Don't think this is over.
I don't expect to be, a little brat.
Oh, you mother-!
"Gah! You piss me off sometimes, which is why I rarely talk to you. Fucking digital piece of shit." I mutter to myself angrily as I wait for him to show up.
"Hello, you must be Azazel if I'm correct," I say with a fake smile on my face.
"Yes, and you might be Jin Kageyami." He replies.
"Yeah, come in."
I let him in and led them to the living room, on my way there I tell Esdeath to not let anyone else in as we got to the living room, Azazel sat down while I took my seat opposite them.
Sitting opposite Azazel, Governor General of the Grigori, one of the strongest Fallen, if not the strongest, I spend a moment complaining in my head.
"So, are you going to tell me why are visiting me because I want to spend some time my weekend before going back to school?" I lie through my teeth.
I don't have school for me to avoid Rias but he doesn't need to know that.
All I need from him is the other pieces from Vrirtra and then I'm set for life.
"You don't need to worry about that, I will not be here for too long!" He says.
I look over and see Esdeath glare at him at the mention of the four Fallen Angels.
"Hahahaha... you are right it's not my business for you to answer if you want to. Anyway, the reason why I am here is that I want to apologize for my underlings attacking you and thank you for sparing them despite trying to kill you!"
"It's no problem, I'm a merciful person who forgives when given the opportunity," I say calmly.
"So, I decided to compensate for that problem. He says casually.
"Hahaha...I like you, kid. I think you and I are going to be best friends!"
As he was enjoying himself, I uses [Observe] on him since I forget to use it when he got here.

Without the tier, he's level 1300, meaning that he's on par with Sirzechs wilhen he's not in his destruction form, but he's stronger than Serafall unless she stops holding back.
My Rep with him is a 30, which means that he will not go against me without a valid reason to do so.
"Anyway I will be going I have some places to go, but you don't mind if I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure. Ask away." I respond, I'm not sure if he'd tell Sirzechs if I didn't but I'm not taking that chance.
On the bright side, he doesn't seem to have anything against me.
"Wonderful, how did you learn to use magic?" He asks.
"Well, I discovered it after moving to Kuoh," I say to him.
"I see, anything else?"
"After I learned that I could use shadow magic, I had a dream that told me everything about the supernatural world," I answer casually while doing my best to look him in the eye.
Seriously, I'm starting to regret having [Autism] as a flaw.
Whoever thought I should be reincarnated with that is an idiot and deserves for me to call him that.
The excuse that I've been preparing if Rias or Sona asked how I learned magic should work on him.
Charisma Check: Passed
Hmm, that's weird.
I don't remember Hestia mentioning that in the [Update] so I'll ask her later but right now, I need to focus on Azazel.
"Hmmm.. that is interesting." He says with a small glint in his eyes.
He believed my fake excuse so now, I win.
"Anyway, I do have some Governor things to do today so I must take my leave, here you go. Until next time, Peace!" He says as he leaves me with my new Sacred Gears.
This is it.
The moment of truth.
I take all of them and shove them in my chest as a [Notification] pops up so I open it since there's no one around.
Would you like to gain Sacred Gears?
Y/N?
I press [Y] and just then, another screen appears so I tap on it rapidly.

I did it!
After so fucking long, I finally got the parts of Vrirtra's Sacred Gears!
"This is amazing!" I shout in happiness as I play with a small jet-black flame in my right hand before making it disappear.
I'm gonna test these because it looks too cool for me not to use them.
Select a Dungeon!
[Empty] [Zombie] [Goblin] [Orc] [Demon] [Ogre] [Beast] [Angel] [Knight] [Monsters]
Let's go with [Monsters] because it's the most difficult one here and that means I get to level up pretty fast.
I reappear in the Colosseum except this time, there are far fewer monsters than last time, which is not ideal because I need to max out the level both of my [Sacred Gears] and my [Classes].
Eh, I'm sure I'll figure something out.
I select [Class-only] and then get to work using my new Sacred Gears.
The easiest one to use here is [Blaze Black Fire] because I can manipulate the flames quite easily.
I can guess it's because of my connection to Vrirtra as his host but who knows why.
I do make sure to use some [Class] skills on the monsters like [Ray of Death] or [Light Arrow] to kill them
I severely underestimated the number of monsters I would be fighting 'cause by the time I get to the boss, [Blaze Black Fire] is already level max so that means that I have [Delete Field] and [Shadow Prison] to take care of.
I'm gonna need some luck to use those so preferably monsters who know a bit of magic so I can nullify them when the time comes.
My wish has appeared to be granted because the wave of enemies I fight is exactly what is needed to max out my [Sacred Gears].
I quickly get to work, using [Shadow Replica, a better name for that semblance that I got a while ago and then use [Shadow Prison] for those who like to fight close range and this allows me to level them both at the same time.
Once I'm done killing them, the boss shows up and this should be light work if I can time his attacks and hit him with [Shadow Prison] to then finish him smoothly.
He tries to hit me with a spell but I use [Delete Field] on him to negate his attack then I use a combination of [Light Bind] and [Shadow Prison] to trap him in place.
Once that's done, I spam both [Ray of Death] and [Light Arrow] until he dies.
He turns himself in pixels and then I go over and kick it open with a smile on my face.
Items Gained
10 Level up skill book x3
3 Gacha Tokens
Celestial Spirit Key: Virgo
900,000$
Those are pretty good but that's not good enough.
I want to max out both [Necromancer] and [White Mage] before I go back to school so another grinding session has begun.
I use the [Skill Books] on both of my [Sacred Gears] and I just need five more levels for [Delete Field] and one for [Shadow Prison].
Another wave of monsters show up this time and with a smile on my face, I leap towards them, ready for the grind.
"Game on!"
-Sirzechs-
'Come on, father! The water isn't so bad!'
'Father! It hurts! Please, make the pain stop!'
'Mother, Father. Please, live happily. For my sake.'
'I... love...'
That voice...
How many decades has it been?
"Please... forgive me." With the thoughts still deep inside his subconscious, the Maou decides to pour himself a drink that Ajuka concocted in hopes to pass away the pain.
It always worked when he did it.
The first few years were rough but with the help of this, Sirzechs was able to bypass the pain of loss.
What Serafall said. It hurt.
It hurt so much. How could she think like that? Did she forget how he lost MIllicas? How he has been stripped away from them? How he never got married or got
It was all because of him.
He took his son, his precious boy away from THEM!
Luckliy, he didn't last very long when Sirzechs got serious and just to make sure that no one could avenge him, the Crimson-Haired Prince of Destruction and his wife tracked down every last person who that bastard loved and killed them in cold blood.
It was over.
They had done it.
They have avenged their son but in doing so, more and more guilt settled in until the couple became a former shell of themselves.
"That's why I will do whatever it takes to protect Rias. Not again. It will not happen again!" Sirzechs mutters to himself with a resolute look on his face as a lone tear escapes from his eyes.
A knock on the doors is heard before the person lets herself in and it reveals the face of a worn-out and tired Grayfia, who hugs the young Maou even though he's forcing himself to not be emotionally weak.
The two hold onto each other before crying, the thought of their deceased son's final words flashing through their mind.
'I love you, mom, dad. Thank you for having me as your son.'
No matter what it took, they would stop another tragedy like this from happening or die trying.
Because that was the wish of their dying son.
His name was... Millicas Gremory is a proud devil and a loving son.
END!
Response to reviews.
Guest: Thx for liking the story man.
Isharioth666: He'll be a dragon soon.
Ultimate Hellhound: Thank you for wasting your time on trying to make me give up. You're not the first person on this site to tell me that I suck and you sure are not going to be the last. Also, I know more about autistic people because I am on the spectrum and have a twin who's high functioning so yeah, just wanted to get that cleared up.
gaserghoneim1239: There are three reviews that you made about the oc making dumb moves so I won't bother to respond to them all. If you want me to answer though, then just PM'me, I guess.
AltairShadow: Soon, he'll be a dragon.
