I'm back, people! I'll keep this one brief, as this is more or less a one shot and challenge rolled into one. Now, I may revisit this one at some point, but as of now, no plans for that. Anyway, onto the crack.

Apollo's Temple, Mount Olympus

"Apollo, I need a favor." Artemis said in a tone that left no room for argument. The fact she practically barged into his temple without warning helped. Seeing the look on her face, he could tell she was serious.

"What's up little sis?" Apollo asked, setting aside his wine and opting for water. She bristled at the nickname she hated oh so much but let it go.

"I know Hermes owes you a favor and I need you to cash in." She said, making him wince. That one was a pain in the ass to obtain, and favors didn't come easy. Considering the fact she needed his favor from Hermes and she couldn't do it herself, was a pretty big deal.

"Okay, what's this about?" He asked, taking a drink of his water.

"I have a kid." She said bluntly, figuring getting it over with would be best. No sooner did she say that did Apollo choke on his drink, coughing and spitting water everywhere. After a minute of violent coughing and Artemis uncaring of his plight, he wiped his mouth and looked at her.

"What? Why? When? How?" He asked in rapid fashion, which was a natural reaction. Artemis sighed and took a seat across from him.

"I have a kid out in Japan. About seventeen years ago the Fates came to me and said I have to have a demigod somehow, being I'm the goddess of childbirth and its been thousands of years. It was either I do it by choice or they'd have to use more drastic measures." She explained, both her and Apollo wincing when she mentioned more drastic measures. Apollo went back to his wine, seeing water wouldn't cut it.

"Makes sense. Are you?" He asked awkwardly, swirling his alcohol in the glass. Artemis blushed gold and shouted at him.

"Yes I'm still a virgin you idiot! Anyway, a couple in Japan had two failed pregnancies and what I did was something similar to what Athena does. Essentially, their third pregnancy which succeeded is a three way combination of them and my essence. I don't know how to explain it." She rambled, not exactly sure how to explain the process. All she knew was that it worked.

"No no, I get it. So why do you need me and my favor from Hermes?"

"I cashed in all my favors to see if they're alive and they are. All I got was a name. Considering the Titan War and the demigods' involvement, Zeus is letting us interact with them personally so long as we don't skip out on our duties." She explained, with Apollo catching on to where she was going. He snorted.

"No kidding and it's about time. We've got enough time to pursue, woo and have sex with all the mortals, you'd think taking half an hour to talk with our kids every so often wouldn't be an issue." He ranted casually, ignoring the deadpan look his sister was giving him. She sighed.

"As I was saying, since Hermes is the liaison between pantheons for us, I need him to get this letter to the Japanese messenger God and keep it quiet." She said, revealing what she wanted him to do and handing him a somewhat thick letter. No doubt a whole explanation of what was going on.

"Yeah, I can see why you want this quiet for the time being and don't worry about owing me. A chance to have a nephew is more than enough. Maybe I'll introduce him to some girls over here." Apollo said, chuckling at

"Apollo, you are not taking my son out to pick up women! Besides, if he's anything like me, and we all know demigods take after their parents in some capacity, then there's a near certain chance he wouldn't be up for it. It would be a miracle if he was looking to date, let alone have a girlfriend or boyfriend." Artemis shouted, grabbing him by the ear and pulling it, ignoring his whining. She will not let her son become a pervert!

Famous last words.

Japan

In a traditional Japanese office, with some modern features, behind a desk with a few papers that were currently being signed was the Japanese messenger god Yatagarasu. Taking the form of a middle aged Japanese man, only with feathers on his head instead of hair as well crow wings on his back, the deity was currently making sure everything was in order. Seeing his office was being called by Hermes, the fellow Pantheon liaison let his peer into the office, said Greek God flashing in at that second, garbed in a traditional Greek toga.

"Hermes, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked in a smooth yet raspy voice, befitting of his heritage and getting straight to the point. A god of a different pantheon simply does not drop by unannounced unless it was important, friend or not. Hermes pulled out a letter.

"I owed Apollo a favor and he said he wanted this letter delivered to someone under you guys. I know nothing beyond that." He explained, respectfully putting the letter on his friends desk, careful not to disrupt any of the other papers. Yatagarasu gently took the letter and gave it a once over, ensuring there was nothing harmful involved.

"Mmmm. At least you're bringing it to me personally. Must be important in that case." He mused to himself, with Hermes merely nodding in agreement. Bowing deeply towards his friend gave him a smile.

"It is appreciated my friend, and I know you'll be quiet about who is involved. I'll see you next time or at the next messenger conference." Hermes said before flashing out. Chuckling softly, Yatagarasu looked at the letter with an inquisitive look.

"Now, let's see who this is for and from." He muttered, one of his hands glowing with magic. Knowledge of the letters' contents flowed into his mind. Sender, recipient, what the letter was about, everything. His eyes widened in shock, pieces falling in line. An eerie, unnatural silence filled his office before it was broken by the usually composed god laughing at the top of his lungs nonstop.

"Oh that's too good! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He cried, falling out of his chair.

The irony was beyond beautiful.

Sirzechs Office

"Is everything alright?" Sirzechs asked, letting the Japanese god into his office, offering a seat while his wife stood by his side,

"One of your sisters peerage members is a demigod." Yatagarasu said bluntly, taking the seat offered to him and fishing out the letter as well as a note he wrote.

"And? Nothing new. Demigods are more common than Sacred Gears." He said nonplussed. Seriously, demigods were prevalent throughout history, even more so than Sacred Gears. For every Sacred Gear user, there were about four or five demigods active on average. Mostly Greek and Roman. Yatagarasu shook his head.

"Not particularly. It's a matter of who their godly parent is." He said ominously before he handed the Satan the note. Skimming over the details, he struggled to keep in his laughter, fist banging on his desk. Curious as to what would get her husband slash King so worked up, Grayfia looked over the note herself. To their surprise, Grayfia was the one who broke down laughing her ass off.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she howled, tears in her eyes as she collapsed onto the flood, kicking her legs like a child and dropping her maid persona. Yatagarasu and Sirzechs looked at each other seriously, with the red headed devil summoning some hard alcohol for the headache he'll be experiencing.

"This is serious. Like possible war levels of serious." He muttered, taking a long swig straight from the bottle. Rubbing his head, he couldn't help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of the situation. That and his wife being so unlike herself. What was next? The Christian God coming back to life? Ow. Yatagarasu took the bottle from Sirzechs and took a small sip, not intending on getting blackout drunk like Sirzechs and Grayfia, if the gray haired, still giggling maid grabbing the bottle and chugging it was any indication.

"It is. So what are you going to do? Specifically your sister?" He muttered darkly, making the Satan's eyes widen at the mention of his sister.

Things just got worse.

Issei's Room

"What do you mean I'm a demigod? Both my parents are human!" Issei said loudly, confused as all hell. Sirzechs took out a note he made specifically for Issei, based off of Yatagarasu's note, which omitted the details of who specifically the goddess was.

Issei was having a wonderful time a few minutes ago. He and his harem weren't up to much: simply lying in his bed and cuddling each other, naked as the day they were born. The mood was interrupted by a serious looking Sirzechs and giggling Grayfia teleporting and breaking the news to everyone.

"Apparently the goddess did something with the pregnancy that led to you, and it technically makes you a demigod." He explained, handing that note to the boy in question who read it over.

"Okay so what now?" He sighed, running a hand through his hair. Rias snuggled up to his side, her bare breasts rubbing up against his side and immediately soothing his thoughts.

"Well, I think all things considered, we have to tell your parents if they are not aware. Can't just go and say 'mom and dad, the supernatural exists and apparently I'm a demigod and I'm going to visit my godly parent across the ocean'. Besides, you'd have to tell them at some point." She said, subtly rubbing her bountiful chest even more against him and bringing up the hard truth

"Fair point." He muttered, a perverse grin on his face, momentarily taking his mind off a conversation he was NOT looking forward to. At least he'd have his girls with him for that. Grayfia cleared her throat, although she was still giggling.

"After that, if you want to, arrange it to visit her. Although considering who the goddess is, this will be a very delicate situation, as knowing your tendencies, how she reacts could lead towards war." she muttered before she and her husband teleported back to the underworld. Rias took the note from Issei and began reading, her face falling into despair deeper and deeper by the second.

"Yeah, this is bad." she squeaked, making the other seven girls hyper focus on her. Issei himself was completely oblivious

"Why, who is she?" he asked, gently trying to take the note back but Rias kept it out of reach. She gently pushed him away and gave him a head pat.

"Don't worry about it sweetie. If she tries anything, goddess or not, we're kicking her ass." she said in a sweet tone, but they could all tell she was scared shitless if her panting slightly was any sign. The red gauntlet of the Boosted Gear popped into existence on Issei's left arm.

"Why who's his parent? Partner turn around." Ddraig ordered his partner, to which he did so reluctantly. Rias hung the note in front of the gears green gem, the Heavenly Dragon inside reading it. An awkward silence permeated the air before the dragon gave a weak chuckle.

"That's a first." He admitted dully before he popped out of reality and back into Issei's soul. They could've sworn it sounded like him fainting as well.

"You see what I mean when I say this bad!" Rias panicked, seeing how even Ddraig himself reacted to this knowledge. Issei huffed.

"Okay, can someone explain to me why this is such a big deal!" he asked and to nobody's surprise, Rias was unresponsive and continued to ramble madly.

"Parent or not, the instant she finds out you have a harem and your perverted tendencies, she's probably gonna try and kill you. She's killed for less!" she ranted, hyperventilating at the mere idea of Issei being killed like this. Her ramblings were stopped by Issei squeezing one of her bountiful breasts, something she loved very much, as well as him capturing her lips with his own.

"Rias, please. Who is she?" He begged. Rias took a deep breath.

"Artemis. Greek Goddess of Hunting, the Moon, Childbirth and a few other domains. More importantly she's probably one of, if not THE biggest man hater in existence. Killing them for the slightest infraction." Rias said in a scared tone, pure fear and worry heavily lacing her words while a few tears pooled in her eyes. Irina, Ravel, Xenovia and Koneko immediately collapsed in a dead faint onto each other, their heads nuzzled into each other's chests. Rossweisse and Asia began crying their eyes out, hugging each other for comfort. Akeno's eye merely twitched as she stared into space.

"I heard she turns those who stumble upon her camp into jackalopes." Asia got out as she hugged Rossweisse tighter, unbothered and uncaring of the fact she was crying over the older woman's breasts.

"I heard she deliberately bathes in the woods so she has an excuse to kill those who accidentally see her." Rossweisse bawled hysterically, cradling Asia like a child. Meanwhile Akeno was still motionless and twitching. Rias grabbed her boyfriend's shoulders seriously, looking him dead in the eyes. Issei knew this was beyond serious. So much so that his eyes didn't even flicker downward once.

"And this is just males in general. The instant she finds about you and your urges. Hell, the instant she finds out about us! I can't even fathom what she'd do to you!" Rias said tearfully. Issei's mind was blank, still in the process of this world breaking news. Shaking him lightly, Rias booted up his mind, even a little.

"Fuck." He muttered before he too fainted, falling face first into Rias's bountiful chest.

"Issei!" Rias and everyone else cried in worry. Irina, Ravel, Xenovia and Koneko miraculously regained consciousness that very second while Asia, Akeno and Rossweisse stopped their panic attacks. All eight girls swarmed their boyfriend, inspecting and caring for him whilst discussing this world shattering revelation.

AN: Well, I'm back on my DxD stuff again, lol. This was inspired by 'Son of the Huntress: DxD by ', which has long been discontinued. I thought the premise of the fic was interesting and then I figured, let's kick that up a notch. And thus this idea came to be.

As you can gather, Issei is a weird chimera due to how he was born. He's technically human, but Artemis' influence also technically makes him a demigod. I don't know, just roll with it. Anyway, another factor that would/should be incorporated is that the thousands of years of Artemis' suppressed sexual desires and urges also went into Issei's creation, as a sort of pseudo cleansing. A factor as to why he's so damn perverted.

As for what happens, it doesn't really matter. The real meat of the story is Issei is Artemis' son by whatever means, he's got the harem, and the fallout that brings alongside the other pantheon issues and DxD issues being thrown into PJO. Issei being Artemis' son is the spark that gets the powder keg started up.

Anyway, beyond all that, the only 'guidelines' I've got are the following-

-Issei has his full harem, so Rias, Asia, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse and Ravel. More girls are of course welcome, but the eight listed at the minimum. (Just want to be clear, I'm likely wrong on whether or not these eight girls are his official harem, but a lot of artwork features these eight so it's a safe assumption these are the canonical harem.)

-Greek/Roman pantheons stay in their own bubble for the most part. They're aware that other pantheons are out there as well as some key figures but that's it. They know who Ddraig is, but they don't know what a Sacred Gear is. They know that Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels exist, and their knowledge on them is outdated, but nothing beyond that, etc-will make the reveal that Issei is a devil from Christianity all the more shocking and hilarious.

-some bending of how the lore works in order to make the harem more absurd. For example, angels can't become Fallen for falling in love/having sex with someone they truly love. When a literal angel from Heaven loves someone, it says a lot. That and other lore and world building bending to make it all work.

That's really it for what should be in no matter what. Then again, I can't exactly force people to do that, but I digress. Now, onto suggestions: stuff that don't have to be included, but can make things more interesting and thus highly recommended-

-genderbends are part of an even bigger harem. The bigger the harem, the better! Fem Vali, Fem Gasper, Fem Kiba, etc. Artemis will lose her mind when she finds out her son's sheer horniness stopped a rivalry that's been going on for thousands of years that ends up with Red and White emperors always killing each other every time.

-certain characters don't die and are part of the harem or are there for shock value and whatnot. Raynare for example. Would be pretty shocking when Artemis finds out the girl who killed her son is currently dating him. Zoe lives for whatever reason and she flips out too.

-if Artemis flips out and tries to kill him, the harem and more importantly Issei with the Boosted Gear, whoop her ass worse than anything she's ever experienced.

Anyway, have fun!
