This was the beginning of my story.
My name is Ronald. I don't originally come from this world, DxD. Instead, I was transmigrated to here. I don't remember the event correctly. The only thing that I knew was I suddenly dragged into this world when I played a High School DxD game on my smartphone.
Firstly, there was nothing wrong happened. Then, my smartphone screen suddenly went all-black. All of the characters suddenly disappear, being replaced by some questions that were typed in red font color. Honestly, I felt a bit frightened at that time. I thought that I had installed and played a kind of cursed games that were told on creepypasta.
[Do you like High School DxD? Yes or No]
Being hesitant at first to reply on that question, I decided to press on 'Yes' question. I thought that nothing was wrong with that. I bought this game on an official game store, so it might be impossible if it was cursed. It wasn't like I got the game from a psychopath hacker. Probably, this was some kind of survey that was arranged by the developer of the game.
[What is your favorite faction in High School DxD? Type your answer!]
I typed 'Devil' as my answer, then I tapped 'Done.' In my thought, the devil faction was the coolest faction in the DxD world. They consisted of 72 different clans with the different bloodline abilities for each of them. Of course the other factions were also strong. But, I was more interested to Devil Faction. Maybe because it was the faction which was frequently put on the scene.
[Thanks for answering the question. Now, you will be transmigrated to the DxD world as the Devil. There would be a system that will guide you. So, you needn't to be worried. Enjoy your journey!]
Wait what? Me being transmigrated? To DxD World?
What kind of joke was that?
I tried to think clearly about the last words that appear on my smartphone screen. However, a crimson light suddenly shone out from my smartphone, making me disappeared gradually. Within the short time, I was already on the DxD world. I remembered that I would become a devil once I was here. So, I intentionally called god's name. As the result, I got a quite severe headache.
'It's so painful! So, it's true that I am turned to be a devil.' I thought after the headache became relieved. 'But wait. If I am a devil, which clan I am belong to?'
[Hello, Ronald. Test…test….Can you hear me?]
A sound appear inside my head. It must be the system that was promised to me before. I had ever read several DxD fanfictions. Some of them include main characters who came from the other world and was given a system to accompany their journeys.
'You…You must be the system that was told on the game.'
[You right, Ronald. Anyway, I am the Empire System. I am assigned to guide you in doing your mission. You aren't transmigrated to here without doing anything. Instead, there is a main quest that you should finish. It's uniting the DxD world under your rules.]
'Uniting the world under my rule? Is it possible for me? I even didn't know about my power and my clan yet?'
[You can check about your bloodline by asking me to show your status.]
'Okay then. System, please show me the status.'
Name: Ronald Lucifer
Age: 6
Race: Devil/Human Hybrid
Powers and Abilities:
- Demonic power.
- Wind Magic.
Equipment:
- The System
There were many devils that didn't have bloodline abilities, yet they could prove themselves to be skillful devils. Sairaorg Bael, as an example, didn't master the Power of Destruction. But, he was recognized to be one of the most powerful young devils of the Underworld. The another example was Rizevim Livan Lucifer, who didn't have many set of skills, but could prove himself to be one of top 3 most powerful devils aside from Ajuka Astaroth and Sirzech Gremory.
'I musn't waste the chance that I have received. Thus, I should prove the world as a powerful creature.'
[Don't worry. I will always be on your side to support your journey by providing any information for you.]
'Alright then. I guess, the available abilities and equipments are more than enough for me. The next thing that I need to do is training hard and maximizing my power and abilities.'
[Is there anything else that you want to ask before you start your journey?]
'No, I don't. For now, your informations are enough for me.'
[Then, it's time for you to enter the DxD World. Enjoy your journey!]
Now, I had been transmigrated to the DxD World as Vali's cousin. My soul entered the body of a Devil/Human Hybrid who had the same name with me, Ronald. My father was Abraxas Lucifer, the older son of Rizevim Livan Lucifer, making him became the older brother of Razevan Lucifer. Meanwhile, my mother was Sima Yue, a female human who was a descendant of the infamous Chinese Strategist during Chinese Three Kingdoms era, Sima Yi/Zhongda.
My family was quite strict. Since I was kid, my mother would pushed me to only play puzzle toys because she believed that they were good for my brain's development. On the other side, my father also trained me to develop my demonic power. Not only that, he would also make me doing a series of physical exercises. He believed that they could be useful to help me growing powerful like the other Lucifer devil.
When I was eight, my uncle, Razevan had a child from his marriage with a female human magician named Ur Milkovich. Like me, their son was a devil/human hybrid. At the moment I firstly saw his face, I felt that I liked him as a sibling. He looked like my younger brother from my previous life, except his white hair.
"What's his name, Aunty?" I asked my aunt who hugged her newborn child happily.
"Ronald, this is your cousin. Even though my husband isn't here yet, I have decided to named my child as Vali Lucifer," said Vali's Mother as she introduced her son to me.
"Vali…It's such a wonderful name since it means governor. I believe he would become a great person in the future."
"I believe he can. You too, Ronald. I have the faith that both of you would emerge to become two stars who will end this chaos."
Suddenly, Rizevim, Abraxas, and Razevan entered the room. They then looked to Vali with the unhappy expression. After that, my father threw his sharp gaze to me.
"So, that is the baby who make you to refuse training your demonic power, My Son."
"I just want to briefly visit my cousin. He was just born to this world." I tried to defend myself from my father's insult.
"Now, you even dare to argue your own father. What a disgrace!" My father's face seemed to be very angry. The caring yet strict traits that I usually found at him now replaced with grumpy personality. He then looked at Razevan and said, "Look how you managed to make my son turned against me! It's all your mistake for making that child!"
Being blinded with hatred towards Vali, my father quickly took him away from Aunty Ur and then threw him to the outside from the window. Such a ruthless action couldn't be stopped since Razevan's response was to slow, while Aunty Ur was still weak after she gave birth to him.
Watching such situation, I couldn't keep quiet. I rushed to the window and jump from it. Being driven with the desire to save Vali, I unintentionally unlocked a new technique which allowed me to kick the air rapidly and move faster to reach my cousin before he fell down to the ground. After I caught him, I flied by using my wings and went back to his room.
I could see my father smirked after he saw me succefully saving Vali. "Heh…It seemed that you have just shown me a new ability. Good job, My Son. As always, you are really my pride."
Ignoring what my father said, I approached Aunty Ur and gave her son back to her. "Aunty, here is Vali. He is safe now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
Aunty Ur directly hugged tightly her precious son. She ignored the fatique that she felt after she gave birth to him. She thought that herself wasn't important compared to her son's safety. She then looked to me and showed me a grateful expression.
"Thank you, Ronald. Thank you for saving my son," cried Aunty Ur in joy.
"Your welcome, Aunty." I replied to her words. After that, I looked into my father and said, "I've done an unforgivable mistake for standing against you. I've saved Vali, whereas you want to kill him. Therefore, I declared that I am ready to receive any kinds of punishment from you."
I could see my father grinned after I finished my words. Then, I heard him saying, "Oh my, you recently become braver than before, My Son. You even showed me a new technique. I have no reason to give punishment on you. Still, I need to give you a lesson, so you will become more obedient to me."
"A lesson? In terms of what?"
I acted calm since it was the original trait from the Original Ronald Lucifer. However, I felt so nervous inside my heart. I hoped that it wasn't a severe punishment or harsh lesson that my father was going to give to me.
I just came to this world and I didn't even enjoy living here yet. I didn't want to die quickly. However, all of the hope were gone when my father declared what he was going to do to me.
"I will put you in a duel against Manticore, a pet that I tame years ago."
I remake this fanfic again. The MC will become a figure who didn't submit to anyone. He will make his own group and try to realize his ambition.
I was now placed on the Luciferian Colosseum, waiting for Manticore, a beast that would become my enemy. This was my first fight since I entered to this world. It would be a lie if I said that I didn't feel nervous. The cheers from the audience made that feeling growing even more inside my heart.
As seconds went by, the nervousness in my heart was gradually replaced with a desire to win this fight. I wanted to win because I could only save Aunty Ur and Vali from execution if I could defeat that lion beast. This time, my father made an one-sided bet in which he would kill them if I lost the battle. Otherwise, he would set them free, as well as teach me a new technique if I was able to defeat Manticore. I guessed that I didn't have any other option beside defeating that beast down.
A few minutes later, I saw several Lucifer's underlings brought that beast to enter the arena. I thought that it was the most strange creature that I ever saw for now. The beast had a head of human, a body of lion, and a tail of scorpion. Once it entered the arena, it quickly went beserk, thrusting some of Lucifer's underlings with its poisonous tail.
'Damn it! That creature was very brutal. Just how could my father tame it?' I wondered inside my mind.
I then closed my eyes and asked The System to show me information about the Original Ronald Lucifer's ability. I felt a bit disappointed because many of that ability was still locked. 'Good, I can only use Demonic Spells and Wind Magic as my main ability.'
I then commanded The System to display the kind of technique that the Original Ronald Lucifer had mastered.
'System, can you tell me Wind Magic technique that are available to be used?'
[Recently, you have been taught to expel wind bullets and blades from your mouth, as well as to make wind sphere to attack your enemy. You are basically the combination of Uzumaki Naruto and Shimura Danzo from Naruto series.]
'Alright. Then how about the Demonic Spells? What kind of technique that I can use?'
[Currently, you can use Demonic Shield, and Demonic Reflection.]
I then read the description of those three demonic spells of mine. I found that those defensive abilities were impressive. I thought that I would be able to become like Falbium Glasya-Labolas if I trained those abilities hard.
'Alright then, I have known the abilities that are available to be used. Thank you, System.'
[You're welcome.]
I opened my eyes and saw that Manticore already jumped to pounce me. I directly came back to my sense and roll aside to dodge its attack.
"Hmmph…No chit chat or something?"
Manticore turned to behave more calm than before. With a woman's tone, she greeted to me politely. "Ah…So, you are the Young Master of Lucifer. My name is Manticore and I am your father's animal."
"Yeah…It's nice to meet you, Manticore. But, do you have a nickname? As I know, Manticore is the name of creature, not the name of someone or something's identity."
"I am without a name, Young Master." Manticore set her fighting stance to quarrel with Ronald. Her expression looked very sadistic. She gave me a gaze like a predator which saw a prey. "Well, let's we start the battle. I won't hold myself just because you are my master's son."
Manticore made the first move by shooting several poisonous spines to Ronald. They were not usual spines since they were covered by poisonous liquid.
I dodged those spines in order to prevent myself from being poisoned. I ever read from a book that the poison from a manticore might instantly kill its prey. So, I would surely be in danger if I was hit by those spines.
"Playing with poison is dangerous, Manticore." I charged my magical power on my right hand as I prepared to launch a retaliation attack. "Instead, let me blow some wind to cool the arena."
I took a breath and exhaled several small air bullets to Manticore. Because of the nature of the wind, those bullets could pierced the beast's skin and flesh.
Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere
"I'm not done yet!"
Wind Release: Giant Vacuum Sphere
Again, I performed another attack to Manticore. This time, I exhaled a single giant sphere to the beast, giving it a closing attack after I rained it with small air bullets.
"Quite good, Young Master. But, I won't get defeated so easily."
Manticore opened her mouth and expelled a giant fire ball towards me. The scope of that attack was too large, so I couldn't dodge it. The only thing that I could do was protecting myself by using Demonic Shield.
"It feels hot." I realized that my Demonic Shield wasn't dense enough to withhold Manticore's fire ball. Even though I didn't get hurted by it, I was still affected by the hot aura from it.
"There you are, Young Master."
Manticore appeared in front of me with a new appearance. It's her human form! She took the appearance of a young woman with brunette long hair with two bangs on either sides of her cheeks. She wore a sleeveless white top armor and black gloves on her hands. For her bottom body part, she wore white thigh shorts which was combined with a white bottom armor.
"So, that's your human form. You looked attractive and elegant with that appearance." I honestly complimented Manticore's current look.
"I appreciate your complementation, Young Master," replied Manticore. She then pulled out a pair of twin axes from her storage. "But, it won't be able to make me letting you win easily."
Manticore charged to me and began to swing her weapon to attack me. I kept dodging her attack by using my newfound technique. I jumped in the mid-air as frequent as possible to prevent myself for being attack. I did this because I realize that she, unlike the other manticore, couldn't fly.
Aside dodging Manticore's attack, I thought how to approach her and give her a melee attack to defeat her. I saw that her fighting style was similar with Zhang Liao from Dynasty Warriors game. She had medium range attack. I thought that it would be easier if I use Rasengan-like attack, so she would have no room to slash me with her weapon.
However, in order to do that, I need to enhance my speed and agility. Hmm….I guess I can do it with my wind magic.
"Evasion!"
I covered my body with wind magical power. My purpose of doing that was increasing my speed and agility, so I could move swiftly to the enemy. After that, I began to charge my power on my hand, trying to create a wind sphere.
I used Geppou again to approach Manticore. Of course, she didn't stay quiet. I saw that she swung her axes to me and generated a blazing wind projectile. It's the combination of fire and wind magic.
Having no intention to let myself getting burned, I kicked the air and jumped aside. After that attack passed by me, I continue approaching Manticore. I saw her trying to launch another attack. However, this time I moved faster, so I managed to get closer to her before she could attack me for the second times.
"Rasengan!"
I shouted loudly as I hit Manticore right on her stomatch with my wind sphere. Then I used all my power to push her, sending her 5 meters away from her previous position.
I saw Manticore lying weak on the ground. I felt a slight pity towards her, thinking that she must be in pain. However, I didn't have any other choice. If there was someone that need to be blamed, it should be my father. He was the one who arranged this fight and set a condition in which I must win, otherwise he would slay Vali and his mother.
A man devil, who was the referee, came into the arena and approached Manticore, ensuring whether she could still fight or not. After counting to three and realizing that she couldn't do that, he then declared that I was the winner of the fight.
I then approached my father and asked him to release Vali and his mother since I had won the war. My father, who only set such fight to test me, agreed to release those two persons, sending them back to Razevan's House.
"As always, you impress me, My Son. As I promise to you before, I will teach you a new technique."
I heard my father said that words. I stopped walking and stood besides him for few seconds, trying to reflect on his words. But, I still couldn't understand its meaning. Needing some times for being alone, I continued to walk on my room, ignoring both of my parents who were in joy because of being praised by Rizevim, Razevan, and the audiences due to my victory on that fight.
