A/N: I don't own anything from DxD or other series referenced. All I own are my OCs.
Ren Greenfield walked out of his classroom at Ryerson University. This was his last exam, in his last semester at the University. If he passed this exam, he would finally get his masters in mechanical engineering, and he would be able to get a well paying job in this crappy world.
Ren opened his phone. His background was of his favorite waifu, Miku Nakano. Yes, he was a weeb, but that doesn't really matter. He opened messenger and sent a text to his friend, asking if he wanted to go get a beer to celebrate his exams finally being over. He got a reply almost immediately.
'Ye sure, I'm down. Where do you want to go?'
'I feel like going to Wvrst. To be symbolic' Ren smiled. The best German bar in town, he felt it was symbolic. He had met his friend at that bar after he failed his first exam. He was sad and drank a lot. Ren felt empty and doubted that being in engineering was worth it.
Out of nowhere, this guy came and asked him what was wrong. Ren resisted telling him at first, but after a few tries, Ren told the stranger everything. How he failed his exam, how he thought he wasn't smart enough.
That man motivated him and told him that he couldn't give up if he failed one single exam. He just needed to study harder, to work harder and that by the next exam, he would pass.
Ren cried that night a bit. The two became friends quickly. His friend carried him home after he passed out.
He helped him study for his next exam, and made sure he understood everything. It was hard work, but it paid off. In the midterms, he was in the top ten. Then the top five. Then the top two. Ren could never repay the debt he owed his bro.
'Always for the feels with you, huh. Sure, see ya there in 15 minutes' With that, Ren started walking away from his University, towards the bar.
Ren walked peacefully along the Toronto roads, listening to some of his favorite songs. Death By Glamour, Antarctic Reinforcement, The Sulfurous Seas, to name a few.
He always enjoyed his walks through the city. The city was never quiet, and there was always something happening.
He arrived at the crossing lights right in front of the bar and waited for green. Once the signal switched, he started walking across the street. He didn't see the car coming at him at 70 km/h. He didn't hear the yells of others, telling him to stop. Ren turned his head just in time to see the bumper hit him, launching him through the air and instantly shattering his rib cage. All he could remember after that was pain. Hot, searing pain.
"Ren, come down for lunch, sweetie" I heard my mother calling for me from the kitchen. My new mother. It has been 3 months since I came to this world and I have slowly been noticing some new things.
For starters, even if I am in a new place, I have the same name. I thought it would be different, but guess not.
Secondly, I could see this blue aura that surrounds most people. I've decided to call this mana.
Mana meant this world had to have some kind of magic system.
A magic system meant this world could be some kind of anime.
Once I noticed this, I've tried finding anything that would help me find out where the frick I am.
My new father took me to a Shinto temple a few days ago, which means I'm in Japan. This didn't help me realize what anime I'm in, but it just added onto the theory that I'm in an anime universe.
The world is modern, so I can cross off Naruto, One piece and Fairy tail off the list. This place probably is something like Chivalry of a failed knight or Dragonar academy. Being a blazer would be pretty cool.
No wait, if this was Dragonar, then human society would know about it, and anything that happened at the academy would be on the news. The same thing applies if this was Chivalry. Oh, well. That's two possibilities off the list.
I've tried looking for known characters from some anime I've watched.
I've got nothing so far. Not even anything in the news.
The most I know is that I am living in this small town south of Tokyo named Kuoh. I remember the name, but not from where. Maybe I'll find out later.
I go to Kuoh primary school and I have to wear a shitty uniform.
Do I care? Not really.
Does it bother me? A bit.
"Ren, come down right now! Your food is getting cold" The sound of my mother's voice snaps me out of my trance. I can hear the sternness in her voice, so I quickly rush downstairs.
As I arrived downstairs, I can see my mother carrying a relatively large pot to the dining room table.
My new mother was a real nice woman. Her name is Faith Greenfield. She has long, light brown hair that went four inches past her shoulders, soft, Asian skin and striking, blue eyes, just like me. She stands at five feet and six inches and has a very caring personality. She usually wears wool sweaters and yoga pants that hug her body tightly. Speaking of that, she has gravity defying assets. It is beyond me how she doesn't have constant back pain. The mana that surrounds her is weak. Currently, she is wearing a red apron and one of her beige, wool sweaters.
"Ara, so you finally came down. You need to stop spending so much time in your room" She put one of her hands on her face, tilting her head slightly.
Oh, god the ara ara flashbacks! I'm still a child! Save me, dad!
"Honey, stop worrying so much. He just got some new books. He should be able to enjoy them" Thank you for the save, dad!
My new father is Canadian, has short black hair, hazelnut eyes, and is six feet tall. He has a stern personality, but he knows when to chill. He is pretty muscular, and we spend a lot of time together. He has stronger mana than my mother, but not by much. His name is Jin Greenfield.
These are two new things I have to get used to. On top of being in some anime land, I have new parents and I'm also younger. I still have my dark brown hair, blue yes and lightly tanned skin.
Did I mention that yet? I'm an eight-year-old now. Kinda emasculating. Going from a mature adult back to being a child.
Wait, this means I have to experience puberty again.
Fuck me.
Oh well, I'll deal with it then, not now.
Shaking myself out of my thoughts, I sit down at the table and start eating my lunch.
Thank god my mom is a good cook. We're having miso soup with tofu and egg.
I will never get tired of Japanese cuisine. This shit is amazing.
I enjoy my lunch while also talking with my parents about my grades in school.
Being reincarnated in another world as a child while mentally being a masters' university student has its benefits, I guess.
I can sleep in class, and because my grades are so high, the teachers have no need to wake me up.
As long as I do my shit, I'm fine.
Sleep in school means more time I can use at night to figure out where the frick I am.
Once I finish my lunch, I go wash and hands and quickly put a light sweater on.
"I'm going to the park! See you later!" I smiled before I ran to the nearby park.
"Be back before night!" My mother called after me, but I was already gone.
The park is an amazing place for young children to get into shape and to move around with their friends. I would love to do that. If only I had friends.
Oh well, who needs them. I'm mentally an adult. All the "social interaction" and "personality shaping" has already happened to me.
I shrug before I start to do the same thing I do every day at the park.
Chin-ups, running up the slides and just screwing around. Maybe being reincarnated as a child isn't so bad.
I forgot how much fun this is.
Kids my age leave me alone, but some ask me how I do pull ups in the first place.
Explaining it to them is easy, but a child successfully doing a pull up is easier said than done.
I get lost in the fun of just playing and being a child that I barely notice this old man sitting on a bench, with lots of the kids at the park surrounding him. A long, white beard. A monocle…holy fuck why is the mana surrounding him so fucking big.
Wait a fucking minute.
I cautiously approach him and listen to what he is saying.
"And that, children, is the amazingness that is oppai!" The man said with a smirk on his face.
"Wow, I never knew such things existed" One of the young boys' eyes sparkled.
That brown hair. That unique case of "Protagonist hair".
This can't be real.
There is now fucking way.
This is... Highschool freaking DxD.
I think I just shit my pants and had an Aneurysm at the same time.
This is a world filled with gravity defying tits, magic, devils, angels and overall absolute, multicolored bullshit.
Wait, if I'm reincarnated here, does this mean I have a sacred gear? I hope so.
Back in my old world, I had read the entire Light novel series.
I thought the idea itself was amazing, and the world is just so flexible.
It's just that, I kinda hated the plot. Breasts=Power because why?
Some characters were pretty cute though.
I wonder where I am in relation to the main plot?
That aside, I'm in Highschool DxD.
Just why, universe?
"Lord Odin! There you are. You can't just keep running away like that" A certain silver haired Valkyrie runs towards Odin, her eyes full of worry.
"Rossweisse, I am the Allfather. And this is Japan. Can't I have my fun?" Odin smirked.
"Even so, I am your bodyguard and you should not run away like that!" She cried, her eyes full of worry.
"If you lost him that easily then you are a pretty bad bodyguard!" As the words left my mouth, her eyes started to tear up.
"He's right! I'm a failure. Now I'll never get married" She shot to her knees and cried her eyes out.
Glad to see she's the same as canon.
"Now now, boy. That's no way to talk to an adult," Odin chided me.
"All I speak is the truth."
"I cannot deny that nor say that is true," Odin said with a smile on his face.
"Wahhhhhhh," Rossweisse was still crying.
"Come now, Rossweisse. I believe it is time to go back home" Rossweisse immediately composed herself.
"Of course, Lord Odin. Let us depart" The two of them walked away, and I was left in my own thoughts.
DxD huh.
Ok future me, let's make a deal. You don't get involved in the plot, and we can live a happy, peaceful life, deal?
Great. Nice doing business with you.
Although, just in case…
I launched my fist towards my target, the stomach of my opponent. The strike was easily blocked and was returned with a jab towards my chest.
Mistake numero uno, right there. I grabbed my opponents hand and spun them around, as to restrain them.
They tried to move and get free. Mistake numero dos. By moving they just put themselves in more pain.
"Ow! Ow! Mercy" My opponent tapped me lightly with one of his hands, signaling his forfeit.
"Round over. Point to Ren" The sensei yelled across the dojo.
I stretched my hand out towards my opponent, and we shook hands.
"Good match, bro" I smiled at him.
"Ya, you did great as well" he smiled back.
It's been a year since I had met Odin in the park. Since I knew this place was DxD, I wasn't taking any risks. I started doing karate, as to give myself some semblance of physical strength. It was just fun to do karate.
Currently, I was in a small tournament organized by the Dojo that I go to. I'm also currently in second place. One more spar and I'll win.
I sat down on the sidelines, drinking some water and watching the lower bracket have their fights.
It's quite interesting being here.
Most people have the same fighting style. Punch blindly and hope you hit. It's really reckless.
For some weird reason, I feel drawn to a more defensive and counter style of fighting even though I've never done any martial arts back in my old world.
I was snapped out of my trance as the time finally came for my final match.
Let's just say it was stupidly easy.
I don't even know how this idiot got to the final round.
All of his punches missed and were super sloppy.
He went down with 2 jabs.
I'm not exaggerating. I jabbed him twice and he surrendered.
Whatever.
This at least gives me a small amount of combat training.
I hope my sacred gear awakens soon, if I even have one.
I quickly go change into my street clothes and leave the dojo. It's a Saturday, which means my father and I are going to visit the nearby shrine for good luck.
He was already waiting for me outside.
"Hey there sport. Did ya win?"
"Of course. Who do you think I am?"
"I think, no, I know you are an amazing karateka" He ruffled my hair wildly.
"Are we going to the shrine again, dad?"
"Why, of course. We go every week"
"We only go for good luck, not so you can stare at the woman who works there, right?"
"Of course! What would ever give you that idea?" he says, with an exaggerated wide-eyed look.
Real smooth, dad.
I can see you undressing her with your eyes every single we go.
Can't blame him though, she does have a beautiful body.
The two of us walk in silence most of the way up. He does ask me how the tournament went.
"It was pretty easy. One of the guys surrendered almost immediately. It was so weird"
"Hmm, maybe he was scared of you, tough guy" my father smiled at me.
That could be a possibility, but I highly doubt it.
"Maybe so. Anyways…" I continued telling him about my victories. He laughed and praised me all the way up the hill.
Once we arrived, we went to the offering box, threw in two thousand yen and gave a quick prayer.
I wish that this universe will not fuck me over upside down sideways.
The two of us finished our prayer and started to leave. We were almost off the property before the shrine maiden approached us. Her long black hair looks great in the evening sunlight.
"Excuse me, could you please help me with something?" we hear, and turn to see who it is. The first thing I notice is that they're wearing a yukata. The second is that the yukata is really thin.
"Of course, what can we do for you?" My father quickly wiped the blood from his nose.
"Could you help me with a special prayer tonight? It's a full moon, and the prayer for Tsukuyomi is most powerful." Religion shit. Boring!
"If it won't take too long, sure!" Wipe that goofy smile off your face dad. You only want to be near the woman to see her tits.
"Thank you very much. Please follow me" She bowed before leading us to the shrine. It was a fairly small one, but based on her deference and careful footing around the candles placed at the bottom, it was significant to her.
"Lord Tsukuyomi, bask us in your light. Protect this land from demons and cleanse it of evil…"
Jesus H. this prayer is taking forever.
Wait, what's this? The mana around this place is going crazy. It's all going into a ball in front of the woman!
{Take the power! It's right there}
What the fuck? Who's talking to me?
{Take it! Make it yours!}
Who in the fuck is talking!?
"Thanks for the help" The words of the woman startle me out of my trance.
"Oh, of course. It was our pleasure."
"Excuse me," I ask, "what's your name, miss?"
Yes, fall for the innocent child act.
"Ara, my apologies. My name is Shuri Himejima."
