Chapter One: Great Dragons and Wish-Granting Stone

In a space between dimensions, two great and powerful beings fought. Two beings, both made from concepts beyond human perception, fought for one thing and one thing only. The ownership of the space. One for its pride, the other for its dream.

Both of them calls the space home. Neither wants to share. It is beneath their kind, after all, to share. They are beings of incredible selfishness and will. And they are the pinnacle of their kind.

Humankind calls their species Dragons.

One is a red western dragon, with a single horn on its snout. The Dragon manifested from the dreams of all beings in the world. The illusions that they want to turn into reality. Those dreams give birth to it, the True Red Dragon God Emperor, Great Red.

The other manifested from the nothingness that birthed the world. Vast, Infinite nothingness. The black serpent that ultimately devours its own tail, the Ouroboros Dragon God, Ophis.

They clashed every time their temper reach its boiling point.

Great Red only wants to realize its dream, to fly better than any of its kind, and no place is better to train than the empty space between the world. Being seen not at its best isn't appealing to him, and Ouroboros stares made it furious.

Ophis wants its home, the silence of Dimension Gap. But Great Red claimed the place while she went away, and she lost the absolute silence. It would stare at its enemies whenever they recuperate from their last fight, a secondary and childish way to ensure that Great Red Dragon can never truly calls this space its home.

And so they fight. Their fight is nothing sort of disaster. Space ripped apart, their power expelled at every direction, and their aura pushing each other back. The dragons coiled and bite one another in a seemingly eternal dance of carnage, never truly defeating one another. Infinite power cannot destroy illusion, and illusion cannot destroy nothingness. But they keep fighting, again and again and again. Each time, the power that filled the space become denser. They didn't know or care, leftovers are not worth their attention.

Until one day, after their latest fight, the energy coalesce into a single red and black stone. The stone then falls from the space into a certain planet.

A planet that houses life.

A planet that will give the stone life.

Earth

The Hyoudou Family is a typical middle-class family. They have a home, they have steady income, and they live in a suburban area. There is only one thing missing from their life. A proof of their love, a child. That is the reason that Hyoudou went to an obscure shrine in the middle of a forest. Rumors said that the abandoned shrine will bless those who touch a stone in the middle of it with the gift of life.

The couple doesn't really believe it, but it is their only chance, to realize their dream.

They never expected that the shrine will give them more than that.

"Honey are you sure about this? I mean it's almost night, we should stay at the Inn until tomorrow" Mr. Hyoudou walks behind his wife, who is stubborn enough to keep getting deeper and deeper into the forest.

"I have a good feeling about this, I don't want our chance to disappear" the woman replies, her voice tainted with fear. Fear of never having any progeny.

When they finally arrive, they find the shrine to be rather small, with some of the rotten wood already collapsed. The center of it, though, is still in good condition.

The Hyoudous walks to the center, carefully avoiding the sharp edges of rotten woods, until they finally near the legendary stone.

It is big. As big as an adult. The stone's colors is red and black, seemingly twisting each other. the Hyoudous dismiss it as the effect of their flashlight and their eyes playing tricks on them.

Taking a deep breath, both of them touches the stone, praying fervently for the gods to grant them their dream, completely missing any change that happens near them until it is too late.

The clouds starts gathering, accompanied by thunders. A great storm brewing above them. Mr. Hyoudou is the first to realize it and wants to warn his wife, who is still praying fervently.

"What the..." he find his right hand stuck to the stone, and in some bizarre way, the stone seems to be absorbing something from him.

"HELP!" the husband desperately tries to remove his hand, to no avail.

"What is it?" The wife, hearing his husband shouts, try to move to her husband, but her hand stuck on the stone, too. That's when she follows her husband's example, shouting for help that never come.

And It isn't needed, for lightning bolt struck the stone and the couple was thrown by the force it created.

Miraculously, they never lose consciousness, they wasn't even harmed. The husband was the first to get up, frantically checking if his beloved suffer any injuries.

"Honey, are you all right?" Mr. Hyoudou rubbed his hand around, feeling if there is any wound on his wife. She didn't reply, partly because she is breathing frantically from shock, the other reason is because what lies before her.

The stone was gone, replaced by a little baby who already possess the ability to crawl. The baby wasn't crying, in fact, his eyes are focused on the scorched earth beneath him, and his hand is busy trying to grasp them.

Against her mind screaming danger, she gets up and lift the little baby of the ground, which cause the baby to cry.

"Ho... Honey?" the husband is out of word, seeing his wife cradling a little baby that appearantly comes out of a giant stone.

"He has your hair colour" The wife's statement put the husband in shock, and he too examined the baby closer.

"What are you... Your chin" the husband said, his eyes tracing every part of the baby's face and he found that the baby somehow have combined physical characteristic of himself and his wife.

"He is just like..."

The Hyoudous understands. The stone really turns their dream into reality. Just not in a way they expected.

"Our son" they said in unison.

Author's note

Ophis used its/her/his black dragon form, instead of her usual girl form.

Both Great Red and Ophis doesn't have any gender or sex, being born out of concept.

I don't read manga, or watch anime. I just happened to read the light novel. I try to describe the character according to the depiction in the anime, sorry about that.

My only spellchecker and grammar-checker is Ginger, and English is my second language, so sorry for any ? sentences.

And just to be frank, I'm writing this because I'm bored, so don't expect regular update and such.

I know the reputation of Highschool DXD, but I'm in it for the mythology crossovers, so don't expect too much Harem things going on.
