Chapter 2: Journey
"You are up early." Father said as I yawned.
"Yeah... was excited about the journey." I grinned, making him laugh.
"Show me your growth and we will decide." He said, referring to my stats.
Giving him a nod, I willed my stats to be shown.
It was usually a voice and if I wanted, I could make it appear as a screen that only I could see. And since father had authority over the systemâ€...
Ch.1 Cambion
"Atoms combine to form molecules, molecules combine to form elements and elements combine to form— everything that you see."
A short-haired blonde man muttered as he walked through his ever-changing room.
"Those things, be it living or non-living— exists in their own planets." He continued. "And those planets exist in a solar system of their own, and such a collection of solar systems forms a ga...
Chapter 6: Test and Results
[[Hikaru Yamanaka]]
Even in primary school, you need to either give an interview or take tests to get accepted. While it is not prevalent everywhere, many countries follow this rule.
And currently, I was in an entirely different place… yet I had to take tests for the academy.
There are practicals but after the show that Arima and I delivered, we were given an A-grade without having...
Chapter 5: Academy Part 2: The Exhibition
While the students were on the ground with the teachers, a certain few individuals kept monitoring them from the shadows.
"Is this alright, Lord Hokage? He is your son and if things continue this way, he might get hurt."
The question made the Hokage smile.
"It is fine." He answered. "If he is being confident, then he will succeed but if he is overconfident… he w...
Chapter 4: Academy Part 1: Students
[[Hikaru Yamanaka]]
What does a person expect on his first day at the academy?
His parents coming to drop him at school, meeting new people and being scared of them, crying and waiting to go home and meeting a kind teacher who would help you to get rid of that fear… unsuccessfully.
But none of that was the case for me.
I came to the Academy alone. Why? Be...
Chapter 3: Training and A Snake's Interest
"Every living being— whether it is a man or an animal— is able to do things because of the brain. Every movement, every thought, every feeling… is a result of the brain operating to keep us alive. And we Yamanaka have developed a variety of jutsus that lets us control the brain."
Yuijiro's explanation was very clear to Hikaru. And as someone from the modern world with a degree in bi...
Chapter 2: Birthday
My father is worse than those military instructors. I was made to train for eight hours… Eight!
I used to spend two hours at the gym at maximum and now I was made to train almost as much as the people doing nine to five.
And have I ever mentioned how inconvenient it is to move around in this body? It is like an obese person trying to fit in a small-sized shirt.
But at least there is one good...
Chapter 1: A World of Chakra
I hate waking up early.
The choir of the birds, the warmth of the morning sun, the chilled breeze of the wind— Those just weren't for me.
As someone from the worst parts of Mexico… I was used to waking up late while being greeted with pollution and daily crime reports.
Jalisco was a safe state— but not every part of it… especially not the place I lived in.&nb...
Chapter 4: Awoke
Leif woke up with a massive headache and an excruciating pain around his abdominal area. And he thanked the gods that it was Ayana that came to his aid.
"Where am… I?"
He remembered being stabbed and hearing a voice in his head afterwards.
"Leif…"
He looked to his side to find a shocked Ayana staring at him.
"Why are your eyes red?"
'Red?'
Leif was confused...
Chapter 3: Re-Life
All he saw was darkness and all he heard was silence.
Pain, grief and anger surged through his now broken mind – twisting it, engulfing it, shattering it further – as the cold embrace of death wrapped around his once warm body.
Even in death, he wasn't given the satisfaction of knowing why he was betrayed. He didn't know why he was lied to by the woman he considered to be his mother and the men he call...
Chapter 2: The Betrayal
Every early morning, Leif rushed to secretly spectate the training matches between Elijah and Niklaus— with Niklaus always coming on top. But surprisingly, Leif never saw Mikael praising the young boy.
As a Viking, Leif understood that it was rare for children to be praised for their combat skills. Most children were trained to fight right after they took their first step and hence it was not a big deal to be a goo...
Chapter 1: The Little Boy
Through the bloody streets of a burnt down village, a little boy ran. He ran as fast as he could as the stench of blood and death invaded his little nose.
He ran and he ran, without a destination in his head. His only goal— survive.
Survive the beasts that were chasing him.
His golden hair was drenched in blood, turning it red. His body was covered in cuts and abrasions but h...
Chapter 28: Curious Folks
Telepathy scared Kento. He did not want someone uninvited inside his head and definitely did not want anyone to read his mind.
'*It is difficult to maintain a telepathic connection with beings who possess supernatural abilities as their minds are protected by their powers.*'
This calmed Kento a little but somewhere in his heart he still had the worry that she said that after reading his mind.
'*I do not have m...
Chapter 27: Kiba's Queries
"You don't seem too happy." Aika asked, looking at the sulken face of Kento.
Kento wasn't paying much attention to anything around him, so when Aika asked him, he didn't answer.
"Kento?" Seeing that the boy was not responding, Aika poked him –which finally caught his attention.
"Oh." He looked at her. "Sorry for zoning out. I was thinking about something."
"Is everything alright?" She was w...
Chapter 26: Primary Quest and the Silver Haired Queen of Annihilation
The news that Riser dropped was something that Rias's peerage already knew. But because Issei joined the peerage not long ago, it was the biggest shock to him.
It would be a lie to say that Issei didn't have the biggest crush on Rias. But he knew that she was way out of his league for her to even notice.
But after becoming a part of her peerage –he thought that he had a chanc...
Chapter 25: Riser Phenex
Like usual, the Occult Research Club gathered to talk about the supernatural activities going around the region.
Freed went missing and they had no clue about his whereabouts. As for the fallens, the heiresses were contacted by their families that the leaders of the fallen angels will talk to them.
This made them a bit nervous but when they were assured by their families that it would just be a discussion, they felt...
Chapter 24: The Perks of Being Human
Beauty was subjective.
Oftentimes, someone or something that one person found beautiful might not be viewed with the same eyes by others.
However, there were exceptions.
And so far Kento had experienced two such instances.
Once while witnessing the fragile beauty of Inari, the delicate goddess.
And now…
When standing in front of Yasaka's sensual beauty.
<...
Chapter 23: Visiting the Yasaka Shrine
In a dimension outside the reach of almost the entirety of the supernatural world –resided a being that was amused by the recent incidents.
He sat on a throne –one that most would not refer to as one, but was still a throne.
A seat made entirely of skeletal pieces and battle equipment –was the throne of the Greek God of the Underworld.
"Lord Hades!"
A Grim Reaper, hooded in ...
Chapter 22: Inari ĹŚkami
"What are you doing here, buddy?" Squatting down, Kento smiled at the fox. "Did you get lost?"
The fox walked forward Kento and bit his pants –pulling them towards it.
Kento found it extremely cute. He loved animals and while foxes were quite the notorious creatures, they were also rather pretty.
Kento wanted to pet the fox but it jumped back and tried walking away.
Kento realized that it must have...
ARC 2: Game of the Gods
Chapter 21: Pilgrimage
It had been days since the battle with the fallens and Kento had a pretty relaxed few days thus far.
Running a few student council errands, training with Koneko and Kiba a little, spending some time with Aika and helping his mom.
That was all that he had been doing.
Even now, he was out on an errand on behalf of his mother.
"Don't worry, mom....
Chapter 20: The Aftermath
Bodies on bodies were piled as an aftermath of the battle. Raynare's body was the only one that could not be recovered as a result of Rias using her bloodline skill.
Kento was impressed by the skill far more than any of the other skills he had seen so far.
So, much so that he wanted the skill as well.
But he couldn't take it.
Not yet.
As he recovered the dagger, Kiba asked. "Why did you a...
Chapter 19: Fall of the Fallens (2/2)
Kalawarner, Raynare and Mittlet were shaken by the sheer amount of destruction caused by a few teenage devils –wrecking their formation and slashing through their defenses.
"H-How are they so strong?"
Mittlet gritted her teeth as the number that they were so proud of dwindled so easily.
"They are strong." Raynare frowned. "And their attack strategy is commendable."
...
Chapter 18: Fall of the Fallens (1/2)
Kento stared in shock as he saw Kalwarner.
The once perfect and gorgeous face that she had was now half burnt, ruined by Akeno's lightning.
But he knew it was still the same woman.
The same ungodly trash of a being.
"We meet again." He said calmly. "And it seems like you brought your friends this time."
There were quite a lot of people with her, something that made Kento a litt...
Chapter 17: Freed Sellzen
Sighing at the situation, he decided to allocate his points.
'No point in worrying about a failure.'
'System put seventy points in dexterity and thirty in perspective.'
<VIT: 80>
<PER: 70>
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Sona asked. "To be able to push back Koneko who is a rook, you have impressive skill and strength."
"I lost before he used his last...
Chapter 16: The Test
*Chirp* *Chirp*
Hearing the loud chirping of the birds and the morning sunlight hitting her face through the window, Aika woke up feeling a little tired despite the night's rest.
Putting on her slippers, she quickly walked down to the bathroom.
After all, having to pee right after waking up wasn't just a guy thing.
Walking out of the bathroom, she took a breath of relief.
"Ah, that...
Chapter 15: Plucked**
Kento was stunned, he thought he heard wrong but then Aika repeated herself.
"Please…"
Under the rays of the evening sun peeking through the curtains, Kento stared at the beautiful brunette that said those words.
"There is still time to reconsider." He said, trying to make sure that she didn't make the decision in the heat of the moment.
"I am sure." She assured as she gripped the ham...
Chapter 14: The Truth
"K-Kento…"
The bullies walked back, seeing the furious face of Kento.
Kento immediately strode towards Aika who hid her tear stained face.
"N-No." She said as he tried to help her. "Don't look…"
She was heartbroken to have been forced to show such a sight to Kento.
"We were just–"
Kento barely moved his eyes toward the bully.
"Shut. It."
The girl g...
Chapter 13: Emergency
<<Wisdom cannot be increased with points! Special conditions must be met to increase wisdom!>>
"*Tsk*"
<<Points: 20>>
"Allocate ten points in intelligence and ten in strength!"
<STR: 40>
<INT: 20>
Increasing his intelligence, he found that his control over water was much better.
{Water Manipulation}

Chapter 12: An Important Quest
The devils were taken aback by Kento's reply.
"Pardon?"
"I said I am not interested." Kento smiled. "It is a good offer but I am not interested."
Sona was baffled at his reply. She was certain that he would agree after realizing the danger he was in.
And considering he was attacked by a fallen, she believed that he would join her without worries.
"Your life is in danger, Kento." Sona ...
Chapter 11: An Offer
"*Sigh*"
Kento found it extremely difficult to explain that he just wanted to enjoy his life.
Why was it difficult? Because they were not ready to believe it.
"You really didn't think this through, huh?" Rias said, a bit disappointed from her voice.
"Look." Kento frowned. "I do not know the type of answer you are looking for, but I am not some terrorist or someone that wants to harm anyone."
He...
