"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!
-Timeskip-
So for the past couple of weeks, I've been thinking about starting my own businesses.
One of them will be used to sell modern-day weapons that I built to other countries to get a decent source of income so I could open a few restaurants in Kuoh for even more money.
I'll even buy a few malls nearby to have them open my restaurants, which I supervise every week if possible.
As for my supernatural business, I'm thinking about selling common Sacred Gears, Potions, Armour sets and weapons to any Factions willing to ally themselves with us.
So far, I've gotten allied with the Devil Faction, the Youkai Faction and the Grigori, whom the latter kinda surprised me, because I murdered a few of their own and I kinda didn't expect it to be honest.
...
Wait...
Did I even kill Raynare and her goons?
I mean, I killed Freed and the Exorcists that were rolling with-!
"Oh shit, I forgot to kill them..." I say before grabbing Rias' head and thrusting my hips into her mouth, which she responds with by happily swallowing all of my semen.
Yeah... so it turns out that Rias is an exhibitionist and has a weird kink for fucking in public.
The amount of times we almost got caught because I shut off one of my stealth skills trying to please her is uncanny.
Still, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
It was your loss Riser and my victory.
But I'm still gonna fuck his sister just 'cause I can.
I mean, what's the point of living in this if I can't take what I want?
"Sorry about that, instincts took over," I tell her as she sits on my lap.
"It's fine. I've gotten used to you being rough like that and it's kinda hot when you do that." She replies as one of my Shadow Soldiers picks up the mana of a nearby Serafall with Ravel and Riser's Peerage in tow.
"Looks like we're going to have to reschedule this session. Serafall's here with Ravel and Riser's Peerage." I tell her before pulling up my pants in slight disappointment.
If this isn't important, I will head the Phenex household and beat the fuck out of Riser for blue-balling me.
"Alright. See you later?" Rias says before using a magic circle to teleport back to school while I fix my clothes to make myself look presentable.
"Hey there. I didn't think there would be guests today. Please come in." I say, motioning them to step inside my work office, which is near my house in Kuoh.
They all sit in front of my desk and seeing as Serafall can wait, I should start with Ravel since I've got a few questions of my own.
"This might be obvious but where is your brother? Not that I care or anything like that but it is rather curious as to what happened to him." I say, a look of indifference on my face.
"Following his defeat at the hands of Rias Gremory, Riser decided to give me his Peerage and went on a soul-searching journey," Ravel responds.
"I see but that doesn't explain what you and your Peerage are doing here when you don't even know who I am," I say, suspicious as to what she's here for.
"I'm here to ask you to help us become stronger. Strong as Rias Gremory's Peerage," Ravel says in a pleading voice as a [Notification] pops up so I decided to take a look at it.
Quest gained
A Phoenix's revival
Objective: Get Ravel Phenex and her Peerage to Level 200
Rewards: 5000 EXP, 5000$, Massive REP with Ravel Phenex, REP increase with Yubelluna, REP increase with Siris, REP increase with Karlamine, REP increase with Nel, REP increase with Lle, REP increase with Burent, REP increased with Marion, REP increase with Shuriya, REP increase with Xuelan, REP increase with Isabela, REP increase with Mira, REP increase with Ni, REP increase with Li, REP increase with Lord Phenex, REP increase with Lady Phenex, REP increase with Ruval Phenex, REP increase with Riser Phenex, REP increase with Serafall Leviathan, REP increase with Sirzechs 'Lucifer' Gremory, REP with Ajuka Beelzebub, REP increase with Falbium Astaroth, REP increase with New Devil Faction and Companion gem Mio Naruse (The Testament of Sister New Devil).
Y/N?
Feeling ecstatic about the rewards, I press [Y] without any hesitation.
"Alright, I'll help just make sure that you're here tomorrow at the same time so we can get started on your training," I tell them.
"Thank you, Jin Kageyami," Ravel says, doing a mid-bow.
"It's fine. It's the least I can do for you since we're allies and all that." I say, shaking hands with an unbowed Ravel as she then leaves with her Peerage with the help of a magic circle.
"So... you made any progress to seduce Sona?" Serafall asks, sitting on my desk.
"You must be that thirsty for Sona's juices if all of your manners went out the window." I tease her with a knowing smirk.
"Pfft, please. I came here to tell you that the fertility potions are working like crazy. The 72 Clans were each able to give birth to one too many children. Some quadruplets and others its triplets but all in all, we're restoring our bloodlines and it's all thanks to you." She explains, holding me in her embrace as I cup her ass with one of my hands.
"Really? I give you some good news and you want a quick fuck?" Serafall asks in a teasing tone.
"Rias and I couldn't finish so looks like you'll have to do it for her," I say, flashing an arrogant grin at her.
"No can do. The deal is you get Sona in your harem and I join in as a freebie. You fuck me now and that won't mean shit. You're gonna have to earn your fucking." She replies, pushing me away with a teasing smile on her face.
She then gives me a wink and uses a magic circle to teleport back to the Underworld.
Looks like I'm not gonna be doing anything for a while let's roll a few [Gacha Tokens].
Rolling...
Item gained
Hearts's Liberation
Description: This allows the user to unlock someone's Affection, Obedience and REP system even though they've never met.
Has a one-time use only.
I immediately use it on Ophis since I find this intriguing and it would be useful to have a literal Dragon God on my side should problems arise.
I then use some of my [Heart Crystals] on the no longer greyed part of Ophis and bring it up to 50, getting me a new [Perk].
Perk gained
[Dragon-kin] – Ophis [50]
Description: Affection, Reputation and Obedience grow faster with Dragons
Perfect.
I mean, it's the same as the one that I got from Isane but it's still pretty nice.
Next pull.
Item gained
Captain America's Shield
Description: A shield made of vibranium and decorated in a patriotic manner
Not a bad pull.
Next pull.
Item gained
Devil Fruit (Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix)
Description: A strange fruit that can grant the eater a special super-human power, at the cost of the eater's ability to swim.
Nice!
This will help Ravel heavily since her whole family is Phoenixes.
Next pull.
Item gained
Null Bracelet
Description: A gold bracelet with an emerald gem. Nullifies the user's weaknesses and immunities. Massively decreases damage taken. Massively increases END. Can be stored in the user's Soul. Self-repairing.
That's good since it'll help Ravel nullify the bad side of her new Devil Fruit.
Next pull.
Item gained
Gae Bolg (Fateverse)
Description: The spear used by Chu Chulainn. This red spear of death curses all wounds it inflicts, causing them to be unable to be healed as long as the spear still exists.
Deals 5000 Physical Damage plus STRx10 plus 5000 Light Damage per hit
Special Ability: Becomes a red beam of light that deals 50K Light Damage and causes severe poisoning and Curse magic. Deals x10 Damage to all Creatures.
MP Cost: 10000
Requirements: Level 2500 and [Master] in Spear Proficiency
Special Ability Requirements: Level 3000, Level 50 in [Warrior] class
Good pull.
I can tell that this item will be useful in the future.
Next pull.
Item gained
Devil Fruit (Barrier-Barrier Fruit)
Description: A strange fruit that can grant the eater a special super-human power, at the cost of the eater's ability to swim and makes them weak to seawater.
Another Devil Fruit, huh?
I'll give this to one of Sona's Peerage for increased [REP] with her.
Next pull.
Item gained
Crown of Diplomacy
Description: Informs the wearer when they have been lied to.
I guess this could be useful since I own several companies and have probably made a few enemies in the supernatural world so that'll be useful for knowing who's on my side and who's not.
Next pull.
Item gained
Sanity Pills
Description: Homemade pills that help restore sanity lost due to supernatural causes.
I could use these to open my pharmacy, which will be dedicated to finding lost Sacred Gears users or any other human that has come in contact with the supernatural when they didn't want to.
These could allow them to live out the rest of their days in peace so again, very useful for someone like me to have.
I'll have to show this to Wiz later so we can get started on mass-producing these pills.
Last pull.
Kronika's Gem
Description: A jewel containing a fraction of the power of Kronika's Crown. Can be used to stop time for all but the user for 5 seconds. 7-day cooldown.
Holy shit, that's what that was, a time stop. Now every fight will go poorly for the enemy but not for me.
If I can find the other fragments, then I can probably restore this item to its full power again.
Quest gained
Ruler of Time
Objective: Reclaim Kronika's other fragments [1/5]
Rewards: 10 000 EXP, 10 000$, Title Ruler of Time gained, REP increased with Seekvaira Agares, REP increase with Gasper Vladi, Companion gem: Sakuya Izayoi (Touhou Project) and Companion gem: Dimaria Yesta (Fairy Tail).
Quest has been auto-accepted.
Welp, that's about it for drawing at least, though I kinda wished I got some insight on where the other fragments are.
Meh, I'll probably get it in either [Dungeons] or other draws.
As there's nothing else to do, I use [Multi-Form] to make two copies of myself.
They already know what they're supposed to do with a sigh of relief, my first clone goes to school while the second one will deal with handling my company.
That'll give me time to grind for some levels and hopefully max out my two [Classes].
I select the Angel [Dungeon] and find myself in the same castle as before and then take Excalibur out of my [Inventory] and twirl it around as angels begin to swarm over me.
"Alright then, let's grind!" I yelled, rushing towards the wave of angels in my way with a demented smile on my face.

[Companion gem: Kumoko (I'm a Spider, so what?)]
Hearts Crystals x15
Sacred Gear: Annihilation Maker
And it looks like that's all for today so I use [ID: Escape] to go back to the living world and recall my doppelgangers, seeing as there's nothing else I can do at the moment.
Just then, a flash appears before me so I cover my eyes as it is too bright for me to even look at.
Once it fades away, I find an Angel and two unconscious humans looking around my house.
"Wait, how did you even get into my house? I'm pretty that should be virtually impossible." I ask her.
First Impression Perk activated.
25 REP with Gabriel.
"Not for someone of my rank, Jin Kageyami." The Angel says I recognize the girls as they are Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta, two of Issei's future wives in the series.
That's a bit shocking since I kind of expected Michael to show up because I soon plan on allying myself with Heaven and maybe creating a chess piece system similar to the one that Devils use.
Come to think of it, I should do one for the Fallen Angels and the Youkais to maybe balance things out or give us humans some sort of introduction to the supernatural world.
"That could help us understand one another but you should make sure that it has a failsafe so that the race can't abuse its power like they did with Sacred Gears," Gabriel says.
"I'll consider that but I'm guessing that from the girls' wounds and the look of worry on your face means that there's a threat heading to Kuoh," I say, her eyes widening in shock as she puts Irina and Xenovia's bodies on a nearby couch.
"Yes, a great evil is coming to Kuoh to restart the Great War. His name is Kokabiel, a fallen Angel and one of my many siblings." She answers.
"I suppose that you wouldn't know when he is coming here, right?" I ask her.
"No," Gabriel says, shaking her head. "The only thing we've noticed so far is that he sends his lieutenant Azriel, to churches and collects a lot of Demon Swords. For what reason? I don't know but it can't be good."
"I see... and what about these two? Did they fight this Azriel guy too or was it someone else?" I ask again.
"Yes... yes, they did. They possess the Holy Swords Clarent and Durandal but it wasn't enough to defeat him." Gabriel says sadly.
I then use [Greater Healing] on both Irina and Xenovia to heal them of all their injuries.
"Thank you. I'll be sure to be in contact with you, Jin Kageyami." She says as she then glows a flash of blinding light, leaving me alone with Irina and Xenovia's unconscious bodies as she leaves.
REP increased with Gabriel for healing Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta and helping them stop Kokabiel's plan.
I use a few [Heart Crystals] on her, bringing her total [REP] with me to 50, getting me a nice [Perk].
Perk gained
I get another [Notification] so I decide to take a look at it.
Quest gained
No one's fallen
Objective: Kill Kokabiel
Bonus Objective A: Let Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta kill Azriel
Bonus Objective B: Let Yumi Kiba kill Valper Galilei
Rewards: 15000 EXP, 15000$, 5 Gacha Tokens, REP increased with Heaven Faction, REP increased with Devil Faction, REP increased with Grigori, REP increased with Youkai Faction and [Companion gem: Aqua (Konosuba: God's blessing on this wonderful world)].
Bonus rewards A: 20 000 EXP, 20 000$, 5 Gacha Tokens, Massive REP increased with Heaven Faction, Massive REP increased with Devil Faction, Massive REP increased with Grigori, Massive REP increased with Youkai Faction and [Companion gem: Eris (Konosuba: God's blessing on this wonderful world)].
Bonus rewards B: 30 000 EXP, 30 000$, 5 Gacha Tokens, Massive REP increased with Heaven Faction, Massive REP increased with Devil Faction, Massive REP increased with Grigori, Massive REP increased with Youkai Faction, [Companion gem: Artemis (Danmachi)] and [Companion gem: Freya (Danmachi)].
This will be one of the easiest [Quests] I've done so far 'cause apart from this Azriel guy, no one on Kokabiel's will be able to touch me.
Still, I'll have to level the girls up in case I'm not there to protect them.
I put Irina and Xenovia over my shoulders and head to a nearby but vacant bedroom so they can rest until they wake up.
This Azriel guy must be strong since he was able to kill multiple exorcists and defeat them while the latter had their own Holy Swords.
I put them both on separate beds that I purchased from the [Shop] and leave the room once I put two Shadow Soldiers inside their shadows to watch over them.
With that, I head to my bedroom since I would like to sleep for a bit.
I go lie on my bed and then let myself fall asleep after a few seconds of waiting.
END!
So, it's been a while, huh? We're starting the second season of DxD with a bang.
Response to reviews.
leuma14: If this is where you stop then fine but at the time I was rewriting the entire story since there were so many complaints about Jin being too much of a bitch.
Guest 025: In a way, I guess it did but to be honest, I just don't have a way to introduce the fact that he's autistic so until I do, I guess it's gone for good.
Guest 026: Glad to be back.
Jerm069: Thanks for the suggestions although since I never watched 'I'm a Spider, so what?' that meant that I was going to be using her cgaracter without knowing who she was so I watched the entire anime I forced myself to watch it and it's almost like Tensei Shittara except it's a spider doing the heavy lifting. I'm gonna have to check Queen's blade some time soon so I'll know what I'm dealing with.
CrimsonSylvan: I was rewriting certain since the character was unlikeable according to most of the reviews I got so far and I already said on the summary that this story was hiatus until everything was fixed. I really don't care that you don't like the story 'cause quite frankly, I didn't expect people to like this but regardless of things, thanks for the review.
