Hey guys, kurama here with another chapter of DXD: Like A Shadow and I hope you will enjoy this as much as I will.

"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 decide to check on my two Digi-eggs before beginning my search for Shinji and his group so I could begin learning on how to tap into my inner Hollow.
After a couple of minutes, they hatch into a Tanemon and Viximon, making me smile a bit before I use the Return function on the two of them so I could train with them at a later date.
Now, to find Shinji and his group of Aizen haters.
I walk in the direction of where his base was in the main timeline and here's hoping that he hasn't moved out from there 'cause otherwise, I'll have to start tracking him like a maniac and I really don't feel like wasting my time just to find him.
On second thought, I don't need his help to control my inner hollow.
I can just do it myself like I've always done as my way of training is much more effective and plus, I don't want to deal with his group's antics.
They're weird and I already got enough weird from my marriage with Rias so let's not add too much to my ongoing despair.
Speaking of Rias, I'm gonna file for a divorce because I refuse the fact that the only way for me to safely use Power Of Destruction is by marrying someone from the Gremory family when I can just say that I'm a descendant of the Bael family as that's more convincing to other people's ears.
Besides, I reluctantly got her out of a marriage and I don't want to deal with another series of bitching at me for marrying her.
With that, I return back to my house and then select the Goblin [Dungeon] and find myself in the familiar forest from yesterday.
"Alrighty then, let's party. Reload Gatomon! Reload Tanemon! Reload Viximon!" I say thrusting my Fusion Loader in front of me as my Digimon appear in front of me.
"Hey boss. Are we training today?" Gatomon asks.
"Yep, I figured I'd get you all to Ultimate as some of our enemies will be around that level." I reply easily to her and with that, we begin the mass murder of Goblins around us and by the time we're done, Tanemon has digivolved into Palmon and Viximon has digivolved into Renamon.
We continue our trek to the boss room, killing any Goblins that dared to stand in our way and as we reach the boss room, I let my three Digimon relax so I could take a look at some [Notifications] that have popped up while we were grinding.
Palmon has reached the max level!
Would you her to evolve?
Y/N?
I press [Y] then another screen appears in front of me.
Select the evolution!
[Togemon] [Woodmon] [Sunflowmon]
I select [Togemon] because it's more iconic than the other evolutions.
"Palmon digivolve to..." She shouts as she becomes
"Togemon!"
On second thought, I could train a bit more before fight the boss so with that, I go on a different path to make sure that the Digimon all get to the Ultimate level
Another screen appears before me as we make our trek back to the boss room.
Gatomon has reached the max level!
Would you like her to digivolve?
Y/N?
I press [Y] in excitement as another [Notification] pops up before me.
Select your evolution!
[Angewomon] [LadyDevimon]
Yeah, I'm not picking Raynare if she was a Digimon so I'll go with Angewomon and plus, I like her more than LadyDevimon since in a way, it reminds of Kari's Angewomon so I'lk be able to honour her with this evolution.
We then all stare at Gatomon with anticipation.
"Gatomon Digivolve to..." She shouts as she transforms herself into a brand new Digimon. She turns into a tall, slender, woman with fair skin, long blonde hair, and a helmet.
Her outfit is a skin-tight, white bodysuit that covers half of her body with white high heels. She has eight white, dove-like wings with four on either side.
"Angewomon!"
I use [Observe] to see her [Stats].
Name: Angewomon
Level: Ultimate (1/50)
Moves: Celestial Arrow, Heaven's Charm, Holy Slap, Holy Kick, Angel Dash
Now for Togemon.
Togemon has reached the max level!
Would you like her to digivolve?
Y/N?
I press [Y] and then another screen appears before my eyes.
Select your evolution!
[Lilamon] [Lilimon]
I don't know which to choose to her evolve into 'cause both of them are quite similar to each other, but Lilamon seems more cool to me than Lilimon is but then again, it might just be my personal preference that into play when it comes to certain Digivolutions.
I press [Lilamon] on the screen as Togemon is digivolving too.
"Togemon Digivolve to…" She shouts before changing into a beautiful feminine Digimon with pink skin, black eyes, shoulder-length green hair, white flower-shaped hands and feet, and six appendages on each hip, three in the front and three in the back.
It wears a yellow and green high-leg leotard with a wing-shaped decoration on the shoulders, a rose on its chest, a giant pink lilac on its back, and a pink lilac-shaped hat.
"Lilamon!"
Name: Lilamon
Level: Ultimate (1/50)
Moves: Lila Shower, Beauty Slap, Pollen Spray, Marvel Shot, Lila Needle, Lovely Cologne, Beauty Shock
Kyubimon has reached the max level!
Would you like her to digivolve?Y/N?
I press [Y] as another screen appears before me.
[Taomon] [Kuzuhamon: Requires Karatenmon]
I pick [Taomon] as I don't have Karstenmon now but maybe in the future I will but for now, this will have to do.
"Kyubimon Digivolve to..." She shouts as she transforms herself into her ultimate form. She becomes a humanoid fox wearing a white onmyōji robe with vertical plates on the shoulders, the Sanskrit character for (Hūṃ?) emblazoned on the front, the yin-yang symbol on the chest and shoulder plates (beneath three red wisps in the latter instance), and red and white triangles on the ends of the sleeves.
It also wears baggy purple pants, black sandals, and a tall, black, and purple hat. It has white, three-fingered hands and white, three-toed feet with black claws and black paw pads in both instances. It has a yellow-furred tail with a white tip, a yellow, fox-like face with purple markings on its cheeks and forehead, and white-tipped ears. It also has black eyes with indigo irises.
"Taomon!"
Name: Taomon
Level: Ultimate (1/50)
Moves: Talisman of Light, Thousand Spells, Talisman Spell, Talisman Star, Brush Stroke
Great, now all I need to do is get them to Mega and it's over for me at least.
With that, I kick open the door of the boss and almost immidiately, my three Ultimate level Digimon all attack him at the same time by throwing a punch at his temple to disorient him, which does work but just to be sure I hit him with a powerful [Shadow Blast].
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Talisman of Light!"
"Lila Shower!"
The three attacks hit the boss dead on and to finish this, I cut off his head with Excalibur, making him turn into pixels as a [Notification] pops up so I take a look at it.
Bonus objectives: Digivolve your digimon into a Ultimate level digimon. (Completed)
Bonus rewards: 4 Digimons and 3 Gacha Tokens
I check my Fusion Loader see that I have Kazemon, Agumon, Veemon and Gaomon inside of it so I let them out to play with the Ultimates while I check out what's inside of the chest.
I kick it open and take all of the loot inside the box.
Items added.
500,000$
4 Gacha Token
Companion Gem: Tigress (Kung Fu Panda)
Race Changing Orb
10x Heart Crystals
Kurikara (Ao No Exorcist)
Fire Grimoire
Shadow Grimoire
Hum, that's very interesting, especially Kurikara since I remember it being able to only be used by Rin as his power was sealed inside of it.
If I can use it then that is great but if not, it's life I guess but I won't say no to more power.
I've got about 12 [Gacha Tokens] so I'll use half of those to get some more rewards.
Rolling...
Skill Orb: Shushin No Jutsu (Naruto)
Description: Allows you to use the Body Flicker technique from Naruto.
That's cool I guess.
Next!
Perk gained
Eagle Eye
Description: Your line of sight is something to be feared as you can see enemies from hundreds of kilometers away.
Pairs well with Skill: Mana Sight.
Hmm, that'll pretty useful on stealth missions or reconnaissance ones.
Next!
Skill Orb: Wolfgang Swordsmanship (God Of Highschool)
Description: This is the Swordsman fighting style of Yu Mira from God Of Highschool.
Perfect!
I have my own fighting style with the blade, which is something that's going heavily needed, especially in future battles as I needed something to polish my sword fighting abilities and this is just what I needed.
Next!
6x Random Digi-Egg
Description: These are random and rare Digi-Eggs that are pretty hard to find.
Good.
Some more Digimon and the way I'm going at it, i should be able to Digi-Fueing some of them to get stronger fighters on the team.
Next!
Companion Gem: Olivier Mira Armstrong (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)
Description: This summons Olivier Mira Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Ah, an underrated waifu for me?
You shouldn't have Hestia.
Mother of all-!
I'm leaving.
Geez, what's wrong with you these past few days?
...
I don't think she heard me but I guess she'll talk when she feels like it so now, let's get my final reward for the day.
Skill Orb: Bloodlust (Solo Leveling)
Description: This allows you to use the same power that Sung Jin-Woo used to scare his enemies.
Alright!
Got another Solo Leveling ability but I should probably crush those [Skill Orbs] before going back to the real world 'caise I've stacked quite the list.
Getting several [Notifications, I take another look at my Fusion Loader and find Salamon, Aruraraumon, Renamon, Wormon, Monodramon and Gabumon inside of it and can't help but release a small chuckle at seeing what I've earned.
Seeing as I want to get everyone to either Ultimate or Mega, I think the best option would be to continue training and besides, I do need to level-up alongside my [Classes] so I could get some new ones so this is convenient for everyone here.
I reload my new members and then select the Demon [Dungeon] and find myself in the apocalyptic version of Kuoh.
Not wasting a second, me and my Digimon all run towards the wave of demons with smiles on our faces at the prospect of being able to become stronger.
"Let the grind begin!"
-Timeskip-
Items added.
500,000$
4x Gacha Token
Skill Orb: Kyokushin Karate (God Of Highschool)
x10 Heart Crystals
Skill Orb: Mokuton (Naruto)
Hirashin Kunai (Naruto)
Minato's Cloak (Naruto)
Well, it's safe to say this was a great training session.
I was able to max out [Renewal Takewondo] and get some of my new [Skills] to level 30 and all of my new Digimon were Champion, with Youkomon, BlackGatomon, Weedmon and Zephyrmon being close to the Ultimate level.
Though the interesting part about all of this is this right here.
Taomon has reached the max level!
Would you like to evolve her?
Y/N?
"Taomon digivolve to..."
She shouts as she transforms herself into a brand new Digimon.
She transforms into a humanoid woman wearing a black, skin-tight fabric with knee-high, purple and yellow boots with the yin-yang symbol on the instep, and purple and yellow gauntlets with the yin-yang symbol displayed on the backs of the hands. She also wears a yellow cuirass and shoulder guards with the yin-yang symbol and a yellow, traditional kitsune-style half mask that obscures its human-like face. It also has ankle-length silver hair tied into pigtails and carries a long, gold staff with several rings adorning the tip called Kongou Shakujou.
"Sakuyamon!"
I use [Observe] on her to see how much power she's packing.
Name: Sakuyamon
Level: Mega (1/100)
Moves: Spirit Strike, Amethyst Mandala, Twin Blades of Beauty and of Truth, Crystal Sphere, Amethyst Wind, Fox Drive, Thunder Kick, Fox Card, Flaming Fox, Yougetsushū, and Kassengeki
Okay, now it's Angewomon's turn and she deserves it as she's my first Digimon and it would be a shame for me not to see her full potential being used.
Another screen appears in front of me so I quickly take a look at it.
Angewomon has reached the max level!
Would you like her to evolve her?
Y/N?
I press [Y] and watch as Angewomon digivolves before our very eyes.
"Angewomon Digivolve to..." She shouts as she transforms herself into a brand new Digimon.
She turns into an angel with ten golden wings, clad in green armor and wielding a spear.
"Ophanimon!"
Satisfied with her new form, I then use [Observe] on her to see her moves.
Name: Ophanimon
Level: Mega (1/100)
Moves: Eden's Javelin, Sefirot Crystal, Air Sefirot Crystal, Eden's Needle, and Eden's Air
Okay then, now for Lilamon.
I get the same screen as the previous two but I tap them in rapid succession sp I could see Lilamon's Mega level form.
"Lilamon Digivolve to..."
She becomes a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, she wears a red strapless leather suit with red detached sleeves, a hairclip with two red roses and green leaves, black boots with high heels that are flower-shaped at the top, a red flower-shaped mask, and a green and white petal-shaped cape with a yellow "D" on each petal.
It also has a yellow vine-shaped whip that wraps its arms and forms an "X" on its chest.
"Rosemon!"
Just like the previous two, I use [Observe] on her to see her [Stats].
Name: Rosemon
Level: Mega (1/100)
Moves: Thorn Whipping, Rose Spear, Rose Velet, Forbidden Temptation, Rosy Cradle, Thorn Shoot, Danger Thorn
Great! I got three Megas, which should be very helpful for when I go to Soul Society to rescue Rukia.
I use the Return function of my Fusion Loader to recall all of my Digimon inside of my Digivce and then use [ID: Escape] to return back home.
With that accomplished, now's the perfect time to learn on how to control my Inner Hollow to give me another boost in power.
I take out Daikokuten, Kurikara and Asuramaru out of my [Inventory] and begin channeling [Anti-Magic] on the last two swords.
Asuramaru has become Demon-Slayer Katana!
Kurikara has become Demon-Blazer Katana!
Satisfied with that small theory, I put the two swords back and begin using [Meditation] while holding Daikokuten to try and find my Hollow and hopefully see my side of the story.
Searching throughout my subsconcious, I find a pale version of my original body standing around a pale imitation of the appartement I had before I became Jin Kageyami.
"I'd figured you'd be bere, holding on to the memories I had as Nathan." I say after a minute of hesitation.
"Well, one of us had too. Not like you ever had the chance to when you're out there mister Superman save a chick! When's the last time you even tried to remember something from your previous life apart from your supposed autism?" Other me shouts in anger and I have to admit, he's kinda got a point.
I didn't even try to hold on to the memories I had as Nathan since I was so busy trying to survive in DxD as Jin Kageyami.
It's a shitty excuse but it's the only one that makes sense to me.
"Tch, typical. Always got an excuse for something, don't you?" He sneers at me.
"You know what, I could fight you for that comment but I'm not going to fight you because I know how I think and to be honest, I think it's time that I accepted what happened to me and change for the better." I tell him, angering him even further as he throws a punch that's aimed at my head but I swiftly evade it and throw a punch of my own, which goes through his chest.
"I-impossible!" Evil me says before fading away into golden dust and all that's left is a spiral mask that looks like the one Obito used to pose as Tobi except that it got two eye holes instead of one.
With that, I let myself re-emerge into the real world, panting a bit as blood escapes from my nose so I quickly wipe it and a [Ntofication] pops up.
You have controlled your Inner Hollow!
Hollow techniques unlocked!
Quest added.
My Way.
Objective: Become an Arrancar.
Rewards: 5000 EXP, 1,000,000$, Class Sorcerer, Title Hollow King, REP increase with Tier Harribel and Random Skill Orb.
Y/N?
I press [Y] then sheathe my Zapankuto as I then decide to sleep off the rest of the day as I pratically done with what I set out to do.
All that was left is to learn the abilities of both Shinigami and Hollow.
And considering how easy this has become, I'll be more than ready to rescue Rukia in eight days.
With that, I lay on my bed and let myself fall asleep, entering the realm of dreams.
END!
Alright, another chapter done. Just to give you guys a warning that I'm gonna slow down the chapter production of this story for two reasons.
One: I'm starting school pretty soon despite the fact that I'm an adult and will need some time to focus on my studies.
Two: I have two new stories that I want to focus on. The first one is alternate version of the Ben10 series where a die-hard fan of the Ben10 series gets the Omnitrix and is sent to South Korea to live with his aunt. The name of that story is called A new Hero. The second is based on a K-Drama I watched but the story is centered in a alternate dimension where someone reincarnates himself into the body of someone and gains the Gamer power. That story is called The Uncanny Gamer.
Question: Which waifu would you like to see Jin summon next? Leave me a PM or Review to let me know your thoughts.
Second Question: Which Digimon would you like to see Jin summon next? Leave me a PM or Review to let me know your thoughts.
Response to reviews.
Korst: I do agree that it can be annoying for people being neurodivergent, especially me to be reminded that we are different than the average folk and sometimes, it becomes the source of my weaknesses and kind of a small depression but regardless, I hope you enjoy it.
theeelderman5: I remember reading your review on Goddragon99's fic, defending me against Evildarkdemonlord's harsh but slightly truthful words and for that I would like to thank you. Jin's a bit powerhungry but I plan on hunanizing him every once in a while so he can be someone that's kinda of relatable.
TwistedWizardLizard: I understand but considering the threats that are in this world, he's gonna habe to be ready to at least be able to fend off soem of them.
Guest 001: I see. Thank you for clarifying that.
razorbackmike: I do plan on using her as I feel like Kubo never used her to his full potential like he did with Ulquiorra.
BlueShock01: I plan on giving some more skills from Solo Leveling and maybe have an arc with the Monarchs and Rulers but we'll have to see.
bonestealer: Did I mispell a word in the aforementioned chapter?
Wade98: I partially remember the two since I read the manga but it's been a long time so I'll check out their abilities when I get the time and thanks for Gaomon, he's one of my few favourites Digimons out there. Number one being Veemon and then Guilmon and finally Agunimon.
Guest 002: Yeah, in all honesty, it was a dumb move to have Rias be romantically invloved with Jin when the guy doesn't even like her that way. Plus I have a mini arc that will be focusing her so stay tuned.
Ultimate Hellhound: Oh boy, here we go again. Why oh why do you find it enjoyable to call me a fishbrained sperg? I really don't what to do at this point. You're not obligated to read this story yet you do it just to insult me. Do you know how long I've been insulted on this site alone? Trust me, your words hold as much weight as a pigeon trying to eat snow. Also, Jin is supposed to be a reflection of me as I'm often reckless and prefer to charge in head first with no plan some time and usually like going with the flow. His autism is similiar to mine since yes I'm an asshole but I can remember very important events when being questioned about it. I'm sorry if Jin is not stimming his hands every 5 fucking minutes but if you think what you see on the media about autism is correct then you are absolutely wrong. I don't care if you're gonna review again because at this point, it's better to let you talk/write than to keep going back and forth with you.
