Hey guys Kurama here with the rewrite of DxD: Like A Shadow and I hope you will enjoy this as much as I will.
"Talk," someone says
"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!
-Void-
"Welp, now I can confidently say that I'm bored." I deadpan, staring off at the abyss for no particular reason.
How I got here is a bit foggy 'cause the last thing I remember is going to sleep and then I woke up in this place.
I just hope I won't stay here for too long.
Congratulations!
You're a Gamer!

What's next?
Selecting your Race
Alright lay it on me.
Human
Description: Largely residing in the human world, humans are the most common species with the largest population in the series. After the Great War had exhausted all three Factions, the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils all had to rely on humans to continue their generation.
Fallen Angel
Description: Fallen Angels are Angels that have fallen from the grace of God, due to having "impure thoughts" that divert them from the teachings of God in the Bible. The leaders of Grigori were tempted by human women and had fallen after having sex with them.
Devil
Description: Devils are beings that originated from the Underworld created by the Original Lucifer using the body of his wife Lilith to create a military force to destroy God and his Angels, as well as to realize his ambition for world domination which consists of the High-Class Devil nobles of the 72 Pillars and Extra Demons and the countless armies of Middle and Low-Class Devil soldiers under them. The total life span of a Devil is approximately 10,000 years. The Devils were originally ruled by the Four Great Satans before they died in the Great War. Following the end of the Great War, the descendants of the original Satans apart from Rizevim wanted to continue the Great War but were faced with opposition by other Devils, most prominently the Bael clan, who assumed authority after the death of their leaders. This started a civil war between the Devils with the descendants of the original Satans losing the war and a new government was formed among the Devils. The new government then appoints four new Satans through strength and accomplishment in the civil war.
Hybrid
Description: You are a mix of the two races that have been showcased here.
Your destiny is your own, Gamer.
Youkai
Description: Youkai are beings originating from Asia, Japan and China, considered to be demons and monsters as mentioned in multiple legends.
Vampire
Description: Vampires are residents of darkness that have existed since ancient times. They have similar rankings and weaknesses to those of High-Class Devils. However, Devils are residents of the Underworld, while Vampires are beings that live in the darkness of the human world with their center of population being located in Romania.
Description: Youkai are beings originating from Asia, Japan and China, considered to be demons and monsters as mentioned in multiple legends.
Vampire
Description: Originating from Heaven, the Angels are powerful beings who serve the Biblical God, and have the powers to inflict pain upon Devils/demons and by extension the Fallen Angels, due to their light-based powers. After the death of the God of the Bible in the Great War of the Three Factions, the Angels were incapable of increasing their numbers normally until the creation of the Brave Saint system which allows humans to be reincarnated into Angels.
Wait a second...
Am I going to Highschool DxD?
I take everything I said back!
That's like the 3rd most hardest after DBZ and Tensura in that specific order.
I'm gonna get smoked by mister virgin boob toucher Issei Hyoudou and his groupies!
Calm down... there's a way of salvaging the situation.
With the potential of a Fallen Angel as well staying human to obtain a Sacred Gear my survival should be ensured.
Plus, if I ever encounter a Devil I'll just blast them with Light Spears.
With that choice being made, I select [Hybrid, picking Human and Fallen Angel as another screen pops up in front of me.
Select your element.
[Pyromancy] [Electromancy] [Hydromancy] [Aeromancy] [Geomancy] [Cryomancy] [Necromancy] [Umbramancy] [Healing]
I'm gonna with [Umbramancy] simply because Fire magic is everyone's starting magic and I like when there's a bit of variety put into the world.
That's how we're able to grow in the first place.
Once again a screen appears in front of me as I open it.
Skill gained

You are welcome!
This is a Sacred Gear Token!
You can choose between any non-Longinus or High-tier Sacred Gears for your power-up.
Choose wisely!
[Blade Blacksmith] [Sword Birth] [Flame Shake] [Staring Green] [Staring Blue] [Twice Critical] [Twilight Healing] [Freezing Archaeopteryx] [Mirror Alice] [Aegis Mineralization] [Forbidden Balor View] [Holy Resuscitation] [Dreamlike Curse] [Strategy Trap] [Trick Vanish] [Variant Detonation] [Gravity Jail] [Sturdy Saint] [Absorption Line]
I choose [Absorption Line] simply because of the potential it has.
I mean, look at Saji, he started with it and look where he is now.
If he can do it, then so can I.
You have chosen your Sacred Gear!
Absorption Line (Active) LVL: 1/20 [0%]
Description: One of Vrirtra's Sacred Gears.
It can produce multiple glowing pale blue coloured lines from the mouth of the lizard that can be used to restrain and suck the power off of beings or objects it's connected to. The user can also use the absorbed power to be transferred to others that are also connected to the lines.
The Absorption Line can also absorb the life energy and convert it into either demonic power or magic energy, as shown when Saji used a line on himself to charge up his power to fire powerful blasts at the expense of shortening his lifespan and stamina.
Abilities.
Absorb
Description: Allows the user to create lines that can absorb the power of the person/thing it is connected to.
Cost: 10 SP/second
This new life will be different, I can feel it!
Glad you'd feel that way because I'm sending you to that world now!
"Wait, what?! Give me a second to prepare myself! Oh shit! Ahaahh!"
I'm taken into the overgrowing darkness.
-Timeskip-
"Hey kid, wake up. You got school today." A voice tells me as I open my eyes and find them locked in on a very familiar guy.
Motherfucking Azazel of the Grigori.
Wait...
What's he doing in my house?
I can answer that for you.
You have been reborn as the son of Azazel and a human and have been living in Kuoh for the past 2 years to help your father out with some experiments and keeping a few recruits in check.
Lastly, you start school in 7 Days and Issei Hyoudou meets Yuuma Amano AKA Raynare in 21 Days.
Okay so I've got 3 weeks before Issei dies and canon starts.
That should give me enough time to not only master my Fallen Angel but also learn prepare in case I can't get through one of them but seeing as they are lead by Raynare their situation can only end badly.
I should let Azazel know about Raynare and her actual goals for the Sacred Gear users in Kuoh.
"Maybe later old man. I'm way too tired to do anything right now." I reply in a deadpan expression, sitting up straight to properly look at him.
"Wait, here's a late happy birthday gift from me." Azazel says, handing me a small golden spear with a purple jewel on top.
"Wait you sure about this? I can ask for something else." I tell with uncertainty.
"Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm already making something that's even more badass than this thing. It's thanks to the corspes of Ddraig and Albion that my new Sacred Gear will be made." He reassures as I reluctantly take it and not before long a screen appears so I mentally open it.
Skill gained
Down Fall Dragon Spear (Active) LVL: 1/100 [0%]
Description: This Sacred Gear was both created and perfected by Azazel using his knowledge of the Divine Diving Gear and many other Dragon type Sacred Gear, making it one of the most versatile and powerful common Sacred Gears.

Sub-Species (?)
Would you like to fuse Skills Absorption Line and Down Fall Dragon Spear?
Pressing [Y, I find that the small spear I had has been absorbed by the Absorption Line, giving me a new ability as its name changed from Down Fall Dragon Spear to the Evil Dragon Gear.
To top it all off, I have the ability to create multiple lines instead of one although my current limit is 5.
I suspect that I'll need to level it up to up the current limit it has on me.
"Thanks dad. I'll use it sparingly." I tell him before heading into the bathroom that's in my bedroom as he leaves me to start his day.
Welp I've got nothing to do so I guess I can sleep around for a while.
I forgot to tell Azazel to find a way to deal with Raynare and her posse before her scheduled date with Issei but it's fine 'cause I can just do that sometime later during the week.
For now it's nap time.
With that, I go back on my bed and soon enough, I fall asleep.
END!
EDIT: Okay, so the protagonist has a new Sacred Gear and but this will be the last time that I edit a chapter that was already done.
