Somewhere inside the depth of Amazon Forest, a man was walking without having a fear something or someone could always attack him. The man's name was Elliot Scheeneider but it was his name for the past 700 years starting when he built his organization, Brigandine. His original name either forgotten or lost in time because he only used it once. The only one who knew his name had been long dead thousands of years ago.
"Open!" Elliot spoke or rather commanded making the surrounding area twisted and the appearance of a portal.
This portal was an entrance to another dimension where an entire world that once belongs to a minor Pantheon. This dimension was conquered after one of Local Gods created a problem not knowing that it was Elliot's boss they killed. In anger, Elliot razed the entire pantheon and killed the responsible god while at the same time subjugated Local Gods under his commands.
"Welcome back, Elliot-sama/El-sama." Various greetings were thrown and people bowing whenever Elliot passed them. They respected Elliot by great deal as he led them to greater life.
Members of Brigandine were composed of subjugated Local Gods and strays of other Pantheons. In Brigandine, race, eating habit, lifestyle were never a problem and so long they followed the golden rule to come whenever Elliot asked them and to never make a mess that could be traced back to Brigandine. As for the leadership, Elliot was a Head Figure similar to King of Gods or Satans in other Pantheons while the structural organization was led by Layla Bynd and Pi Halmax, Elliot's Right and Left Hand.
Layla and Pi were the one who organized the entire organization. Layla handled the dealings within and outside organization and Pi handled military. With entire South America under their hands, Brigandine became one of the most popular and prosperous faction in the world.
"So, why are you calling me?" Elliot spoke after properly seated inside meeting room where various heads of departments including Layla and Pi already took their seat. "You do know i hate a summon without clear explanation."
"Forgive me, El-sama. It is i who called you here." A Twelve Winged Angel or First Class Seraphim bowed in her seat.
"What is it, Laciel?" Elliot turned his attention to the female angel.
"Approximately few hours ago, the World Council has decided that we, Brigandine, must have part in the upcoming battle."
"Excuse me? You said battle."
"Yes!"
"Why is that? As far as i recall we have no war after World Council has been established." Elliot said, confused why World Council decided something that wouldn't happen again.
World Council as Elliot called it was similar to UN to human. It was made by agreement from every Factions and Pantheons in the world.
"According to World Council, Ophis and Great Red have detected anomalies in the sea of universe. Both told World Council that something was destroying realities one by one and still is.
From their estimation, in several years, there will be a battle that determine the fate of our universe in an alternative reality similar to our setting but with diverse custom as it never reached conclusion like us. If this reality fall then beings from other universe will come and destroy us one by one. Ophis and Great Red said that it is one you most familiar with, something that coming from your home." Laciel explained.
Meanwhile, Elliot was both intrigued and scared of what Ophis and Great Red had said. Unlike everyone in this room, he was the only being from another universe. He was a Player who decided to wait for the game dissolution but instead sent or trapped in this universe.
If this threat was coming from the game world then it was something dangerous. Many things in the game world were dangerous for this world. World Enemy, Raid Boss, Event Boss, Level 100 Monsters and Players.
If converted to Level, Transcended Beings were somewhere 50-60, God Class 45-60, Ultimate Class 35-44, High Class 25-34, Mid Class 10-24 and Low Class 1-9. Ophis and Great Red were 80-85. Elliot himself was a Level 100 Angel Player.
"Is that so?" Elliot masked his fear by putting indifferent face. "How about World Council themselves? Are they going to participate in this battle?" Elliot asked, afraid if his organization was sacrificed while World Council kept themselves to their little world.
"Yes. As we speak, every factions and pantheons are preparing for war."
"Then we will have war. If this threat is dangerous as those two said, then how are we going to other realities? We don't have the knowledge to cross other reality save for Ophis and Great Red."
The question was valid. Even Elliot with all of his power didn't have ability to cross reality much less universe. The only one he knew were only Ophis and Great Red. He knew this because both sometimes sent him to other realities for shit and giggles.
"For your question, i will be the one who answer it, Elliot-sama." A man with white robe spoke. "Department of Technology has been graced by Ophis to create a gate to other reality. Ophis used her power to connect the gate to other reality so we don't need extrapolate our home and transfer it to other reality. Using accumulation of faith from people of South America, we have about at maximum 67 years. This of course didn't count from extra load that we will encounter in the future."
Basically, the man said that the gate was only able to operate for 67 years at maximum. This didn't including if everyone had passed the gate.
"How many people we can send until the promising time?"
"1"
Elliot was shocked. To make sure the gate stayed operational for 67 years without degrading, Brigandine only able to send 1 people ahead. Resource, information, connections and money were important to make and 1 person was not enough to make all of that in short amount.
"That..." Because of that Elliot was lost for words.
"Impossible, we know. But we have one person who can do it and that person is you, Elliot-sama. To the world standard, you are very unique. You are in a league of your own either power or repertoire of spells and equipments. Because of that, we, Brigandine as whole, beg you to go first." Everyone in the meeting room bowed. In their minds, their leader was their only hope to ensure the survival of Brigandine.
"I understand." Elliot nodded in understanding. His people was his and as a leader it was his job to make sure his organization to thrive. He also wanted to know what this source of threat that coming from his original universe and wondered if he could go back along with his people.
"We deeply apologize to cause you such inconvenient situation."
Elliot waved in dismissal. "So... When i can go?"
"It will be ready in a week."
"Alright, dismissed."
Everyone including Elliot left the meeting room to prepare the grand order to save the universe.
~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~
To Elliot, a week was a very short time and so his time to cross the boundary of reality.
"Everything's ready?" Elliot asked the engineers who were in charge for his transfer.
In front of Elliot, a massive cylinder construct stood tall. Around it, constant streams of white energies, something that fueled the construct composed of faith of humans in South America. The faith energies were collected using a duplicate that he made with the power and the knowledge he gained from his long dead friend and a tool called The Sacred Gear of Copycat or The System that Governs the Heaven, a Sacred Gear with a power to duplicate a God's system.
"Almost. We are waiting for Ophis to start the gate. Without her, it just a massive gate without function." One of the engineers relaying her report.
As if on cue, Ophis appeared with Serafall Leviathan, The current Satan of Leviathan and also his girlfriend.
"El-tan." Serafall came running before hugged Elliot in a crushing bone hug but to Elliot, it was nothing.
"Serafall." Elliot stroke Serafall's hair and inhaled her scent.
"El-tan..." Serafall said in teary tone. "Please don't go."
Elliot shook his head. He really wanted to stay but his duty as a leader came first. If he could end the threat sooner it would be better as Serafall and his people wouldn't have to join the war. Sadly, he couldn't guarantee such thing.
"I'm sorry, Serafall." was the only thing Elliot could say. Promising to stay safe was something he couldn't do since he didn't know the threat's level.
"Mou~, El-tan." Serafall punched Elliot's shoulder. Serafall too could understand why Elliot did this. Elliot was a proud person despite his appearance and attitude. He would face danger so everyone he loved stay safe from danger. Serafall too would do the same but now was not the time for her to go. Under different circumstances, she probably would come with Elliot but the causality it would cause save for a certain time was too great.
"It's ready." Ophis said blankly.
Elliot could see the outer rim of the gate spinning before a portal was created. It was a very enchanted sight.
"Please forgive me, Serafall." Elliot locked his lips with Serafall's. They stayed like that several minutes until Elliot used a spell to put Serafall asleep.
Elliot ordered one of his men to pick Serafall. While Serafall was being escorted into one of the rooms in Brigandine, Elliot spoke.
"Everyone... During my absence, i want you to keep training and in your best behaviour. Take care of the young ones because they are our future. For Brigandine." Elliot yelled followed by everyone people. And Elliot stepped inside the portal.
Skip Scene*
The first thing Elliot noticed was, he was above one of the tallest building.
"Nice out." He commented. Behind him, the portal gradually dispersed before gone completely. "It seems i am on my own then." Then Elliot jumped.
To anyone, what Elliot did was insane, jumping from skyscraper would kill any humans. Sadly Elliot wasn't a human but rather an Angel in his humanoid form.
Tap*
Elliot landed smoothly on the pavement, no sign of cracks could be spotted. In normal condition, it would destroy the ground zero but with a little softening spell would do the trick. Elliot's action also didn't noticed by humans because it was already in the middle of the night though camera probably would.
Elliot then left the area to find shelter. He didn't have any worry regarding how to survive as he had learnt many forms of survival. He could make a makeshift house from stone alone and reinforced it using magic. He also could hunt but it was redundant with markets spread in the city and was capable cooking his own meals. But first, he needed to decide where he was going to stay.
Skip Scene*
It had been almost two years since Elliot landed in this reality and it was not fun times for him, at all. To make himself looked normal in the eyes of human and supernatural, he was forced to create an identity that would be very hard to track. Announcing himself to supernatural community would be a disaster he wanted to avoid.
Logically, someone who appeared out of nowhere without any id would make anyone suspicious of him, doubly for supernatural. If someone knew who he was, it probably would be an easy task to dissuade their worry of him not being a spy. Sadly, he was not, so he had to create an identity.
"Mr. Scheeneider?"
A brunette woman called out from behind.
"Yes, Miss Da Costa?" Elliot replied politely.
Miss Da Costa was a teacher in one of remote school in Brazil. She was known for her eagerness to make sure her students to be a successful people, something Elliot could empathize with her pledge since he was a Leader of an organization that held power in Southern America. Without a dedicated teacher like her, it would be hard to make Brazil flourished just like his.
"Thank you." Miss Da Costa hugged Elliot tightly. The reason she was like that because Elliot invested huge amount of money to the school, something the school sorely needed.
"Don't thank me. I like seeing a dedicated teacher like you. A nation grows because its solid foundation or in this case as the quality of Human Resources increased so does the nation." Elliot waved it as if it was nothing. The money was hardly an issue with his abundant money with his shares in many top corporations.
"Sometimes you talk like an old man, Mr. Scheeneider." Miss Da Costa said.
Elliot merely shook his head. "I have to if i want to survive."
Well... Elliot created a story where his parents died a year ago. Said parents were flesh golems he modeled to ensure his backstory solid. It would be hard to explain his adult behaviour should he make a mistake. So this story was he deemed as a successful one.
Miss Da Costa lowered her head in shame before muttered an apology. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. There's no point to dwell in the past. The dead can't do anything for the living." Elliot shrugged. Then again, it was not his real parents since they had yet to be born if this was his original universe and reality.
"It just..."
"It's okay." Elliot tried to assure the teacher that he was okay. "Anyway... I'm going to go back to my mother's homeland. So I'm going to transfer."
"Oh... It's a shame. I was hoping for you to finish your education here." Miss Da Costa looked sad.
Elliot shook his head. "I have to take care my Father's business. But I'll make sure to come visit whenever i have the time. After all, i have invested so much money in this school." In the end, he smirked knowingly at the teacher before the said teacher nodded knowingly.
"Good..."
~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~
Sona Sitri reviewed the documents that a new transfer student sent to her few days ago and compared the report from her connections.
"Strange..." Sona muttered, fixing her glasses.
Tell you the truth, everything about the new transfer student was strange. According to her connections' report, Elliot Scheeneider was a prodigy in programming and engineering yet he studied in a remote school in Brazil. Most would choose a specialize school instead of attending a no name school.
There was also a matter of monetary issues. Elliot was a millionaire with the shares he got after his parents' death. True, Sona could understand it since she came from a wealthy family but the way Elliot managed his money was too perfect. A wealthy person usually spent chunks of their wealth to show it and yet Elliot preferred using the money to expand the empire he had in rapid pace, something a normal 16 years old teenager shouldn't be able to do regardless their status as prodigy.
"Tsubaki!" Sona called her Queen.
"Hai, Kaichou."
"Is this all true?"
"Hai..."
Sona turned her attention once more to the reports before her. From her observation of the reports, Elliot had no contact with supernatural entities but his parents' death certainly because a supernatural entity. There was no way a cruiser sunk into the depth of the sea without an interference of a supernatural. The weather at that time was sky clear but suddenly changed into a maelstrom that took the lives of hundreds of people. There were so few entities that could cause such thing to happen. Gods, Devil and Zenith Tempest.
Gods of Thunder and Sea were the most obvious choice considering it was their natural domain but there was no sighting much less traces of them. Devils were her second choice but it was rare because most had specialties in other directions. Zenith Tempest was the last culprit but the current possessor was very far away from the crime scene.
So who had done it?
Gillian Scheeneider and Saya Scheeneider were a normal human couple. Both had no connections to supernatural to earn such gruesome death along other passengers. Elliot too was normal if you put his brain out of the equation.
That's it!!
Elliot was a very smart person. If Sona wasn't mistaken, the reports said that Elliot had created a machine to draw natural energy(mana leyline) and used it to power his previous school. According to Devil's Journal, Elliot's invention was something they unable to reverse-engineering. Even Ajuka Beelzebub who was known as the smartest Devil in the history unable to do it. What's more, Elliot was currently working on something, presumed dangerous if his generator was the indication.
Oh shit... This was a very dangerous situation. Something or someone was manipulating Elliot subconsciously to move to Kuoh. If the reports were to be believed, whatever Elliot was working on could be a very dangerous thing. Adding Sona and Rias' status as the current overseer and the Maous' sibling, it was a recipe for a disaster.
"Tsubaki!"
"Hai!"
"Call Rias and tell her to my office."
"Understood."
Sona watched Tsubaki exited the room and massaged her temple from incoming headache.
