Akira had shot up in the velvet room on his cell's bed I had clenched my head, and I had felt my head in incredible pain.
Akira:" Am I dead?"
I felt my mind flash back to my final moments lying down beaten and battered on the Tokyo sidewalk only able to raise my hand before my teammates and I were turned to dust, after everything we did, just for it to end like that……in failure, but after that, I woke up in the velvet room.
Lavenza:" Trickster, I'm sorry to say but you are no longer alive."
Lavenza had looked genuinely distraught telling me this. I tried to walk to the cell, but I was too shocked and I collapsed to my knees.
Akira:" I can't believe it, I died! It's the end of the game huh."
Igor:" Trickster, it's not over just yet, unless you want it to end here."
Akira and Lavenza look surprised.
Akira:" Huh? What do you mean?"
Lavenza:" Yes, master, what do you mean by that?"
Igor:" You see, my master normally wouldn't have given you another chance, however, when you saved me, my master felt indebted to you, so he's willing to give you another chance."
Akira:" He is?! For real?!"
Igor:" *Chuckle* Let me give you one warning first, for your other chance to be given to you, you will be sent to another world."
Akira:" Another world?"
Igor:" That's right. The world is similar to your world, however, demons, angels, and fallen angels exist."
Akira:"……I'll take the offer. If I were to let it end like this then I'd be left with regrets when I die, and I won't be able to look them in the eyes the next time I see them."
Igor:" A good answer, trickster, you'll be able to go to the other world whenever you want through that door, however, once you leave your access to the velvet room will be cut off, I should warn you first, your presence wasn't originally there and that would naturally that will cause some changes in that other world."
Akira:" Cut off? I won't be able to summon my personas anymore?"
Igor:" No, you'll still be able to summon your personas and you'll keep all of your Personas that you have now, however, the velvet room won't be able to give you service."
Akira:"……So I won't be able to step in here when I go through the door."
Igor:" That's correct, you can take your time, two more things, the time in your world has stopped ticking, it'll only start ticking again when you're done with your mission, and when you go through the door you'll be reincarnated into a new life that means a new life, and because your existence in that other world is unnatural certain events will happen differently."
When Akira was done prepping, he said goodbye to Igor and Lavenza, Lavenza gave Akira his gun, dagger, and Yen, and with that, Akira walked through the door.
Only to wake up in a room, the room was big and spacious, it had incredibly fancy-looking furniture the room was also filled with the plushies and memorabilia from Leblanc's attic with a noticeable lack of the Pt symbols.
Akira:" Where am I? And why does my head hurt?"
A cute girl with black hair and glasses had walked into his room and stared at him incredibly annoyed.
Glasses girl:" You're not dressed? School is about to open Nee-San."
Akira:" Huh? School?"
Glasses girl:" Yes, school. Get up immediately, before we're late.
She had mumbled about a girl named Rias and something about flirting, but she had left the room Via a circle.
Akira's thoughts:" I never had a sister before, not counting Futaba, although I've always wanted one, regardless I should get ready before I find out what happened to me…wait a moment did she teleport through a circle on the floor? Although I suppose compared to the Metaverse & Morgana it was rather pedestrian.."
Me and My "Sister" walked to school and halfway through the walk we ran into a girl who was quite honestly drop-dead gorgeous.
She had blue eyes that reminded me of the breathtakingly beautiful blue waters of the Okinawa Ocean, her skin was silky smooth, and her hair was bright red I had trouble taking my eyes off it, and then there were her…endowments, but I shall not stare, after all, I was raised to be a gentleman or at least I was back on my planet.
Akira:"……"
Red-haired girl:" Akira? Are you okay?"
Akira:" ……Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine it's just that you're, really, really beautiful, gorgeous even."
Rias blushes and her face turns bright red, so red that her hair and face have blended together, the only thing that separated her face and hair is her Blue eyes.
Rias:" Thanks Akira, I think that you're handsome too."
Sonia just groans and looks annoyed.
Sonia:" Can you stop flirting with my best friend, Nee-San?"
Akira:" Erm, sorry So-Chan."
Akira's thoughts:" So-Chan? Why did I say that? And why was it so natural?"
Sonia:" *Sigh* it's fine."
Rias and Sonia started talking I was able to find out (and by that, I mean that I mean Rias accidentally telling me) that my Sisters name is Sonia
After School in the student council room*
Sonia was in the student council room sitting at her desk, she was alone until she heard a knock on the door and Rias came inside and sat down in front of her.
Rias:" Do you know where Akira is?"
Sonia:" Oh, He went home."
Rias:" Oh? That's a shame."
Sonia:" Hey Rias, can you not ask Akira to join your peerage?"
Rias:" Hmm? Why's that? Didn't you sense his……intoxicating power earlier?"
Sonia:" *Sigh* that's true, but I ask that you don't ask him because……Akira is a half-devil, half-human he was always looked down upon by other devils *Sigh* those bastards."
Rias:" Oh, I see, you're concerned for him, but what if Akira has both a sacred gear and his devil abilities? Then could I ask him?"
Sonia:" …………Fine, but just try not to pressure him into joining, I know that you wouldn't do that but still please."
Rias:" Of course."
Timeskip Akira's room*
Akira had spent an hour trying to summon his personas but he just couldn't do it, they wouldn't call back, and Akira couldn't feel them.
Akira:" It seems Igor's words are true, my "sister" Eh, well I've always wanted to be a big brother."
I look over to my dresser and see a note by Lavenza.
Lavenza:" To my dear trickster, I wanted to write you a letter explaining the situation to you."
Timeskip*
Akira had to sit back and think about the situation but after that, Akira went back to reading the letter.
Lavenza:" That's all I have to write to you about, I can't wait to see you after you win."
Akira:"……Why? Why me? Why do I have to be put through so much? Why can't I enjoy a normal life?"
After a few hours, I went to bed and I ended up having a nightmare. The nightmare was me on the street same street and the same spot where I had been "killed" by the holly grail, my teammates were blaming me for the failure of the mission and what happened to all of us, eventually, I was woken up by Sonia.
