Reincarnation is...
Let's call it a mixed bag.
Benefits.
I got a second chance at life.
A chance to live life without making the foolish mistakes of my past one.
That's pretty rad, all things considered.
Plus I got put in an anime which is pretty cool.
Downsides.
I got put in a harem anime.
I had to go through puberty a second time.
My brother is the main character and there appears to be nothing special about me at all.
Correction.
My brother is the main character where everyone is SUPERNATURAL... and I'm nothing special.
Much worse.
I was born in Highschool Dxd as the younger brother of one Issei Hyoudou.
A guy obsessed with boobies with a massive bullshit overpowered dragon locked away in his fappin hand.
And here I am.
Simply human.
It's not like I didn't try and get stronger.
I'd be a fool, not to.
The thing is... there is a limit to what the human body can take.
I reached a peak in my strength... and was just not able to improve further.
There was no holy sword to break my limits, magical saturated air to nourish my body, no sacred gear to transcend myself beyond meager humanity.
Of course, there's a fucking dragon gauntlet in the house, producing its sealed longinus radiation, so it's not like I'm TOTALLY without any magical connection.
Like, I shared a womb with the protagonist AS he got a Longinus sacred gear. Some of that power probably went into me.
I'd say that I'm at the peak humans can go. Which is badass as hell when I managed to keep a relatively compact frame.
Having a Kratos-esque physique just wouldn't suit me, to be completely honest. I'm only fifteen, after all.
I brush my teeth, giving my reflection a half-lidded stare.
Short, messy brown hair, brown eyes, lightly tanned skin, decently muscular and defined arms and chest, then a six pack which barely peeks through my loose oversized t-shirt.
I let out a quiet yawn as I wash off the brush and sit it aside in a glass cup, then turn around and walk out of the bathroom, walking a short distance away to where I collapse onto the bed.
'Ugh. School genuinely sucks the life out of me. At least now I can sleep.'
Sleep is so fucking good.
Sometimes you get an absolutely amazing dream.
Sometimes you get hunted by a tyrannosaurus for hours on end and are forced to hide in a small hole in the wall.
Sometimes you are in a murder mystery with team rocket and captain hook.
It's all great fun.
My only real chance of having super dramatic fights in the sky and all that junk with someone like Goku.
I mean...
I could become a devil, but egh. I'm not too sure about that whole second class citizen thing.
The lifespan is neat, as is magic, the ability to fly, and all that junk, but... how long will my promotion to a high class devil take?
The underworld was lenient with Issei because he had a Longinus.
I won't hold such power, nor will I hold such influence.
Plus, there's the fact that despite being totally weak, I have too much pride to mooch off my brother's success.
I'm honestly fifty-fifty on the decision to become a devil.
If I ever do, it'd be following Rias.
God forbid anyone willingly join Sona considering how much of a hardass she is and how much she overworks her peerage.
I crawl under the blankets and close my eyes.
I blink owlishly as I am decisively not in my bed.
"Wh- What? Where the hell am I?!
I'm in a forest of some sort.
A canopy of green leaves blots out the sky above a gentle breeze causes the ruffling of leaves to create a peaceful ambiance.
Creaaaaak*
I almost robotically turn around to see a spider the size of a horse resting on a large web in-between the trees, it is looking at me with several red beady eyes.
"…"
I turn and sprint forwards as fast as I can.
'nope nope nope nope FUCK THAT!'
It lets out a shriek and leaps down, its thudding footstep hurrying after me.
'oh shit oh shit oh fuck oh shit!'
I spy a small blonde girl in my path, she blinks owlishly as I continue running forwards.
'damn it- I can't just leave her to die!'
I pick her up, causing her eyes to widen as I continue sprinting.
After around a minute, the spider seems to... give up?
Maybe I wasn't worth the effort?
I put the girl down and look over her. "Are you alright?"
She has short blonde hair with a sole red ribbon in it, wearing a red dress with white sleeves, she appears to be pretty young, with scarlet red eyes.
"I am now!" She cheers. "I was getting hungry!"
Darkness pools around her hand as large vicious claw of shadow lashes out towards my face, her mouth opening and showing a row of shark-like teeth within as her red eyes gleam with predatory malice.
"WAH-"
I sit up with a gasp clutching my neck with a hand as I hyperventilate.
I-
Holy shit.
After around thirty seconds I manage to calm my beating heart.
What the fuck?
She looked... familiar.
That was far too lucid
What the hell was that?!
Congratulations!
You have unlocked the Gensokyo Relation System!
'h-huh?'
You have met Rumia. 10% Affinity for Dark and Shadow magics.
"…"
Gensokyo?
As in...
Touhou?
What the fuck?
Ah.
I went back to bed after a short time and found myself back here.
Fun.
A short blonde girl stands in front of me, mouth stained with red.
She blinks owlishly at me and tilts her head.
"Huh?"
Her eyes light up. "OH! You! You were tasty! How are you back?! Meh! I don't care."
I point behind her. "Alright I guess we're doing this. But first, what's that over there?"
"Huh?" The girl blinks as she turns and looks behind her.
I step forwards and jab a punch towards her face, her head turns back slowly as she lets out a quiet. "There's nothing there-"
My knuckles impact with her nose.
CRACK*
Her head is tilted back a little bit as I blink in quiet horror.
Did...
Did I just break my knuckle on her face?
She stumbles back, bringing a hand to her nose as blood dribbles out of her nostrils.
Her eyes tear up as she lets out a wet sniffle.
Yep.
My knuckle is broken.
It was like punching a steel wall.
"Wahhhh!" She bawls. "Y-YOU'RE MEAN!"
She swipes a hand forwards and I find myself cut in half by a wave of shadow.
Curious...
A woman with long silky blonde hair gazes through a rip in reality out into the confines of her home.
This is... unusual.
She blinks slowly as she watches a brown haired outsider fight with one of the residents of Gensokyo, one of the problem children who try desperately to shirk the rules laid out years back.
The rule that the human inhabitants of Gensokyo are to be unharmed.
Most youkai are sustained by human belief, thus, that rule was made to prevent a large majority of youkai from dying out.
There are, of course, youkai who like to eat humans as it grants them a fullness mere belief doesn't supply.
In addition, the permanent increase in power is quite tempting as well.
Said protection of humans... don't apply to outsiders.
Those who have found themselves within Gensokyo through unknown means. More often than not, through her intervention, but sometimes through other ways.
She watches the two roll about on the floor, hands interlocked as they seem to struggle in a ceaseless battle.
The blonde girl eventually ends up on top, straddling and trying to pin the human to the floor as she opens her mouth wide and bites down towards his neck.
He headbutts her suddenly, clamping her teeth together and forcing her to bite off the tip of her own tongue.
"MNNN!" She cries mutely as the human reverses the grapple, wrapping his legs around her body as he sits behind her, arm wrapping around the youkai's neck from behind.
He raises a hand and proceeds to slap the face of the darkness youkai, open palm, then use his second arm to assist in choking out the girl.
"If you want to eat me so bad, let's see how YOU like it!" He snarls as he bites the girl's shoulder.
"AH! FUCK! I THINK I CHIPPED A TOOTH!" He shouts.
"Go. To. Sleep." He growls on repeat as the youkai snarls and thrashes about in his grasp.
Her struggles weaken as his grip tightens.
Eventually she stops struggling completely, causing the boy to allow her to slump forwards and step back slowly.
Bit of a mistake... as youkai typically can last far longer than a human without air.
He takes a few deep breaths, cuts and bruises on his arms, legs, and body, his clothes ripped as blood drips down from a set of four claw marks on his cheek.
"Bitch." He curses at the prone youkai.
He is promptly skewered by a tendril of shadow.
He looks down at the new gaping wound in his chest as he is lifted from the ground. "I'll be back."
He falls limp as the shadow youkai gets up.
Her clothes are ruffled, and she is out of breath, but any damage done to her has already more or less healed.
She lets out a panting huff as she crouches down beside the lifeless corpse, lifting one of the limp arms and bringing the bicep towards her mouth-
The corpse disappears into motes of light.
A shoe slams into the center of the girl's spine, shoving her forwards. "I'm back."
The brown haired teen kneels on the youkai's back as he raises a single hand far above his head, he gazes up at it for the briefest of moments towards his hand before swinging it down and landing one of the loudest slaps the observer has ever heard.
The youkai lets out cries as the human repeatedly slaps her.
"DID. YOU. LEARN. YOUR. LESSON?!" He shouts after each slap.
"I DID!" The youkai screams. "STOP IT! P-PLEASE!"
He hops back and crosses his arms as the girl shakily gets to her feet, she is legitimately sobbing at this point. "W-Why are you so mean?!"
"You ATE me!" The human shouts back. "THIS IS AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF MEAN!"
"Why won't you let me eat you!"
"Why won't you let me KILL you?!" The human shoots back.
"Because don't want to die!" The youkai replies.
"Well, THERE you go! I don't want to die either!"
"But you'll be fine! Just let me eat you! You always come back anyways!"
"NO!"
Hn. As amusing as this is... it is getting a bit repetitive.
If given more time it'll go back to the human choking out the girl, then him underestimating something, she either bites him or skewers him with shadow, repeat.
Gensokyo is no stranger to people with strange and powerful abilities.
Fate controlling vampires, reapers who can manipulate distance, humans who can stop time.
Reappearing after death is certainly a new one, though.
She holds up a hand.
VRRRRMMMMM*
Reality tears and a train runs over the blonde girl, sending her sprawling across the ground with the crunch of breaking bones and tearing flesh.
The girl screams as the train goes into another portal and disappears, limbs facing awkward directions.
Youkai are quite durable.
She will regenerate eventually.
"My My. You two are making quite the commotion." The woman calls out, announcing her presence as she widens the small hole she was looking through, allowing herself to take a seat on the edge of the gap as it thickens to comfortably accommodate her.
The human looks over, eyes widening as recollection crosses his features, he seems to realize just how dangerous she is.
How cute.
"I was wondering who was shouting oh so lou-"
The woman frowns slightly as she notices something happening.
The human's eyes swirl and shift, the two hazelnut brown orbs deepening in color.
She continues to stare, completely enthralled.
His eyes...
Could that be-
He winces suddenly, blinking his eyes rapidly as he clutches his head.
The woman leans back, falling through her gap and laying down on the comfortable sofa in her house.
A second gap appears above her and slides over her, teleporting her top half back into the forest she just left, now directly in front of the boy.
She reaches out with her hands and gently cups his cheeks, his eyes cracking open.
What was once hazel... has become a vibrant, almost ethereal purple.
Interesting.
The corners of her mouth tilt upwards as his eyes stray the ends of the boundary she used to reach him, then continues on past that.
He can see boundaries now... that is quite interesting.
She tilts his head slightly to get a better look at him.
He isn't real.
His real body is elsewhere, unconscious.
This is merely a projection of his mind.
Its likely that he was transported here through his dreams.
She can feel the sheer terror radiating off of the boy even now.
But it is unusual. He didn't feel like a standard human.
He felt similar, but different.
Of course, he's not human any longer...
A genuine once in a lifetime experience to observe a human transform into a youkai.
"I believe... you should wake up now." She smiles causing the boy's fear to intensify drastically.
She snaps her finger once, causing the boy to stagger back out of her grasp...
Then drop like a puppet with its strings cut.
He then evaporates into nothing.
She tilts her head back, eyes widening.
Hold on... this isn't the human world? Where... is this?"
I let out a long sigh as I slowly sit up in bed.
'fucking hell. This is a pain.'
The world around me shifts and moves, strands of... reality... pool around me.
I feel like I'm trapped in a fucking kaleidoscope.
My god this is distracting.
How do I turn it off?
How do I stop seeing this shit?
Does Yukari go around seeing the world as if she has a constant stream of hallucinogenic drugs flowing through her veins.
You have met Yukari Yakumo. You are now able to see boundaries.
You have impressed Yukari Yakumo, you are now able to lightly manipulate boundaries.
'Huh?'
I gained...
Yukari's power?
Wouldn't... that make me one of the most powerful beings in Dxd... like... easily?
I force my eyes to shut and let out a weak groan, rubbing my eyes.
The sound of tearing fabric reaches my ears as I crack open an eye.
A large rip in reality has appeared in front of me as I flinch, bringing the blankets up to my nose as I watch reality itself ripple and split.
A blonde woman wearing a long purple dress, a white mob cap, and purple flat shoes, in one hand is a pink parasol and in the other a paper fan which she uses to cover an amused smile.
"Well now... this isn't the outside world that I know of."
Her eyes stray my room...
Then in the next moment she opens another rip in reality and disappears.
"…"
Oh my god.
I just released Yukari onto DXD.
"Hey Suzu. Mom told me to come get you up... normally you're always getting up before me what gives?"
"I feel so fucking sick." I lowly curse with a groan. "Even sitting up makes me want to throw up, so... I'm just going to stay here today. One missed day of school didn't kill anyone."
My name is Suzutsu Hyoudou... and that's the future Red Dragon Emperor Issei Hyoudou.
"Ah..." The brown haired teen blinks, aware that I don't fake this shit.
If I say something is wrong, something most certainly is.
And my god with this new ocular based headache, honestly I'm contemplating chugging a bottle of sleeping pills and just seeing what fucking happens.
I return to the blankets and cover my head letting out a quiet sigh.
Not even a minute later, my mom enters my room. "Suzutsu dear, what's wrong?"
"Just a headache, mom... then some nausea. I feel less sick with my eyes clothed. I'll be fine... can you grab me that icepack from the freezer?"
"I can." The woman nods quietly.
She returns a moment later with an ice pack wrapped in a cloth handing it to me.
"Thank you." I weakly show my gratitude.
She rubs the top of my head with a hand, the only thing out of the blankets. "If you don't feel better soon, we'll probably be forced to take you to the doctor."
"I hope it's just sinuses or something." I sigh as I place the ice pack on my forehead, sighting in relief at the chill that steadily works its way onto my skin.
"I do too... get well, Suzu, I love you."
"I love you too, mom." I call after her as she turns and leaves the room.
'alright. Let's just go back to sleep, then.'
I let out a quiet sigh as I look around an open forest.
Of course.
Can I not get genuine sleep anymore?
Fucking whack.
Maybe I could rest if I also try to rest here?
Ugh. That's unlikely.
I'll just get attacked by another youkai.
I let out a weak groan as I grab my head. 'Son of a bitch. I don't have my fucking ice pack.'
I quietly walk forwards, no real destination in mind, idly wandering the forest I find myself in.
I walk past the blood splatter that Rumia had left in her wake, apparently sometime in the past couple of hours she got up and wandered off.
The only signs of anything bad happening would be the gouges in the dirt where the wheels of a train ripped through the forest floor as they barreled into her.
Fucking touhou.
I don't remember much about this place, all things considered.
It has been like fifteen years since I have been able to look it up.
Now. What do I remember from Touhou.
Time stop maid is one. Doesn't she serve like... a loli vampire whose sister is a violent psychopath that's locked in the basement?
Ugh. Jeez. This fucking headache.
Then there's Yukari. The scary one. And... the dumbass ice fairy?
I take another step forwards, but my foot doesn't find solid ground
Panic floods my body as a large tear in reality opens around me and swallows my body whole.
Stars and large glowing eyes flood my vison as I wince and close my eyes.
I land on something soft and plush, briefly pausing as I crack open my eyes yet again.
I am sat in... a room? I am sat on a cushion on the floor.
The floor is made of tatami mats, the walls are a simple tan color with small barred windows near the ceiling, a black stone table sits in front of me, a wood and paper door to the side of the room which is open, showing a ceaseless void filled with stars, nebula, and dozens upon dozens of eyeballs.
However, what is startling is the woman sat across from me.
Yukari Yakumo.
Someone who managed to pierce through an entire multiverse after seeing me do it once. Someone who managed to do so with her own cultivated strength. Not relying on some form of bullshit granted power as some sort of Isekai benefit.
What scares me even more is the figure who is using her as a lap pillow.
Me.
The living, asleep, and very mortal version of me.
She gently strokes my head as her purple eyes bore into my own, an impish smile on her face, a shiver moves through my entire body as I can feel myself beginning to wake up.
"We need to have a word." The woman states in an even voice. "Perhaps this would be better in your original body."
She reaches down and pinches my nose closed.
Nothing happens for a moment, but then my current mental body seems to warble, my sleeping form twitching and shifting slightly.
I suddenly black out and thrash briefly, eyes snapping open as a woman looms over me.
I am released from her grasp and quickly scoot away from her.
"Who- Who are you and what do you want with me?"
"What I want is quite simple." The woman smiles, her eyes half lidded and full of mischievousness. "You. I want you. I have a deal for you."
"W-What?" I whisper.
"You see. You are quite interesting. I never before have seen a Gap Youkai like myself and that-."
"W-Wait wait... Youkai?! I'm... I'm a human!" A pit of dread forms in my stomach, it is matched in equal measure by the suffocating aura this woman seems to constantly exude.
"Yes. You were." The woman nods with a small smirk, causing basically my entire reality to shatter.
"I am giving you two options. The first. I send you back to your own world and make it so that you are permanently unable to return here. To Gensokyo. Where you will struggle with mind splitting headaches for months, years, or possibly even decades as you learn how to regulate and control your new power... or." The woman begins. "You could stay here. With me. Where I will train you to control your newfound power, and suppress it as I am now whenever I can."
"Why?"
"Why do I want you here?" The woman hums. "Or why will I lock you away from this world if you decide to go back?"
"Y-Yes? To both questions?"
"Hrm. The reason I will not let you return to this world if I send you back is because the idea of an immortal gap youkai in Gensokyo mildly worries me. You could very well destabilize the dimension I have been taking so much care in keeping safe... killing anyone in here... anyone but yourself, at least. With you being here, I no longer have to worry about that as you have your own self preservation to worry about."
The corners of her mouth turn upwards. "As for why I want you here, you see. There are hundreds of colorful and powerful individuals who live here. With strengths you probably could not even comprehend. Vampires who can manipulate fate, humans with complete mastery of space and time, even youkai who embody concepts, much like myself, and to a lesser extent, you."
"There is a slight issue with this group that has rendered them antsy and a little repressed... every single one of these powerful gods, youkai, or humans, are female."
"…"
"Wait wait-"
"That is where you come in." Yukari cuts me off. "I want you to help me relieve their... tension. You see, while there are boys in gensokyo, a large majority of the youkai see them as... beneath them. Why love a human when they are so fragile? Why love a typical youkai when they are pathetically weak and below your attention. The people here want someone who can keep up with their more... carnal needs."
"…"
"You want me to be basically a male prostitute for your little realm here?!" I ask, eyes widening as a frown appears on her face.
"Oh? Is that a problem? Wouldn't this be the perfect male fantasy for any teenage boy. Super powers, the ability to sleep with numerous attractive women, the ability to not have splitting headaches at every waking moment of your life?"
I bring a hand to my head and let out a long sigh, thinking back to the sheer migraine I was feeling earlier.
I will be feeling that for an extended period of time?
I'm a youkai now?!
There goes my normal life.
Rias and Sona will be able to tell in a fucking instant when I go to school.
It's unlikely that my life will be normal after what happened to me. One of these days I'll be hunted down by one of the principal clan's exorcists. Or, like... literally any other supernatural creature.
I'll be crippled by my own power till I figure out how to use it.
I let out a long sigh as I look to the incredibly powerful woman.
"F-Fine... I always sort of knew that this supernatural stuff wouldn't stay away from me. I know that my town is overseen by two devils. They... they will know that I was turned into a Youkai and that will make me a target as people don't just 'become' a youkai I don't think."
I scratch the side of my head. "If I were to go back, I'd put my family in incredible danger and I don't want to do that when my own power cripples me... but... tell me, if I decide to stay here, would it be possible for me to go home in the future?"
"But of course. I myself tend to enjoy a nice walk out in the modern world. Once you get strong enough and know how to leave without destabilizing everything I have worked for, I will see no issue with you returning home."
"Okay. Then... what do I do first?"
I hope you all enjoyed! I know this is just a repost from Fanfiction, but it has been a while and there are likely some people here who have not seen it. but. if I am posting this here... surely another chapter must almost be finished?
