Disclaimer: I don't own Highschool Dxd, Elsword, and I Alone level up. I have just borrowed the ideas of each of them to put together this story. In addition to these three, there will be mentions of other anime, manga, and game concepts.
...
The door finally opened, leading the way to a massive room. Raven looked inside, but the interior was completely shrouded in darkness and he couldn't see anything yet he could feel a strong bloodthirsty presence inside.
'Tread cautiously. This sort of killing intent can only be produced by a killer who has killed millions of people.' warned Sanzu.
Although Raven heeded her warning, he couldn't help but feel a small hint of excitement.
'Well, since I leveled up twice, guess I should add my stats before fighting the boss.
After adding 5 points to his Agility, 2 for Strength, and 3 for Stamina, he was finally ready to face the boss.
"Here goes nothing."
He stepped forward and as soon as he did, the countless torches in the room lit up illuminating the interior.
"Hoh!?" As soon as the room lit up he noticed the person standing at the center of the room. It was a woman with long crimson red hair. She was holding the handle of a giant claymore which was stabbed on to the ground.
Raven readied himself for an attack but, after a few seconds, the woman was still standing there with her eyes closed. He regarded her for some time and relaxed.
'It seems she won't attack you till you full step inside the room.'
'Seems like it. You have any ideas about her powers?'
'Unfortunately, I can't seem to identify her power, but what I'm sure is that she's using some kind of corrupted mana.'
'So... you think she's a devil or something?'
'No, her presence feels too human, perhaps she has devil blood?'
'Well, it's no use standing here.'
Raven started circulating his Ki and walked forward, after a few steps, the door behind him closed. And the woman opened her eyes.
*Ding*
[You have awoken 'Bloody Queen, Elesis (Corrupted)']
As soon as he saw the words 'Bloody Queen' highlighted in red, Raven attacked, only for her to parry the hit. He repeatedly swung his sword at her yet she continued to block or deflect all his attack without much effort.
"Tch! Let's see how you block this attack. Fatal Slash!"
In response to his attack, her claymore began to emit an ominous black smog as she once more blocked the strike.
However, Raven's attack cut apart the black smog surrounding the claymore, and he did not miss the opening it created and rushed to attack her, only for a sudden, unexpected kick to sending him flying to the wall.
'Damn, what with these Bosses and kicking me into walls, is it some kind of mutual agreement among them?' Raven couldn't help but entertain the silly thought of a few monsters sitting around a table and discussing tactics to defeat him, as he remembered his previous encounters with the boss monsters.
He snapped out of his thoughts as a claymore slashed towards him and stepped out of the way. As soon as he stepped away she changed the trajectory of her attack surprising him with her speed.
Raven quickly activated 'Sprint' and narrowly dodged the attack. He quickly jumped back to gain some distance. She stood there for a second before closing the distance between them and slashing once more with her sword. He raised his blade to block the hit, only for her to once again change the direction of her attack.
He quickly used his armored left hand to block the strike.
[-250]
Raven's eye's widened,' Holy Shit! Even though I blocked that dealt a lot of damage.'
As he saw her preparing for another attack, he used his flames. "Explosion!" And sent Elesis flying however, she just spun midair and landed without much difficulty.
'It seems you will have to use that ability, if not you won't be able to counter her, but you'll have to end it soon since your body is still not used to it. Don't go above two charges.
'Got it.' Raven took in a long breath of air before he used his trump card.
"[Overheat]" He could here Sanzu's voice as his body heated up.
[Strength and Agility increase by 10%. -5Hp every second]
"Oh yeah! That's what I'm talking about."
'Quit gloating and attack her!'
"Hai, hai.", Raven said as he rushed towards Elesis, who was rushing towards him as well, with her claymore once more enveloped by a thick black smog but this time it was more condensed.
Their attacks clashed many times, neither one being able to overpower the other. Suddenly Elesis stepped back and slashed down with her sword, releasing a red and black energy wave towards him.
Raven's eyes widened to comical levels as he dodged the attack, "Was that a fucking Getsuga Tenshou!?"
'A what?'
'Nevermind, I'll counter her with one of my techniques, Hellfire Gatling!'
Raven raised his arm and started firing multiple explosions towards his opponent. Who launched a dark beam to counter it. As soon as the attacks clashed, Raven launched himself forward and attacked her with a Fatal Slash, making a massive gash on her torso. He didn't stop there and followed it up with another Fatal Slash making an X-shaped wound on her body.
Just as he was about to finish it, Elesis exploded out with blood-red energy as her wounds healed.
*Ding*
['Bloody Queen, Elesis (Corrupted)' has used Overflowing Blood. Increase Attack strength by 50% and reduce Hp consumed by BloodHit by 10%]
"Oh, Come on!" Raven couldn't help exclaiming. As he blocked her attack only for her to push him backward with fierce momentum.
'Shit, Shit Shit! She's pushing me back gotta use it again.'
[Overheat]
[Strength and Agility increase by 20%. -10Hp every second]
"Damnit, It's not enough!" Although she had briefly stopped for a moment, she was still stronger than him.
'Wait! What you doing!?' Sanzu cried out in worry.
'If I don't use it I'll die anyway so, here goes nothing.
[Overheat]
[Strength and Agility increase by 30%. -15Hp every second]
Elesis once again briefly stopped from the sudden increase in power, but this time Raven was prepared, using that small window of time he deflected her attack breaking her stance.
'Now's Your Chance!'
"HAAAAAAAA!" Raven using the rest of mana swung a fiery blade at her.
"Bursting Blade!" His attack burned right through the energy surrounding her and caused a massive explosion on contact.
*Pant... pant*
Raven fell backward exhausted.
[You have defeated 'Bloody Queen, Elesis (Corrupted)'].
*Ding*
[Level Up!]x3
[Ki Manipulation Level has increased to 6]
[Blade Arts has reached Max Level. The skill has evolved into Advanced Blade Arts Lvl.1]
[Fatal Slash Level has increased to 5]
[Host has gained 'Title: Usurper of the Throne']
-[Class Change Quest] *Completed*
-[Hidden Objective: Do not kill 'Bloody Queen, Elesis (Corrupted)'
Achieved.]
[Reward: Obtained Item: Bloody Requiem.]
[Host has been healed to prime condition]
[Class Change Will Start Shortly]
"... The Fuck!? Elesis is still alive... Nevermind. Now, I just want to know what class I'll get."
'... I don't know what to do with you. Luckily the system healed all your internal damage or that could have been a problem. After this is over we have to get your body used to the Overheat state. '
'Yeah, yeah. Anyway, how long do I have to wait to get my class.'
Raven could hear Sanzu sighing before she spoke, 'Well, It's safe to assume that you'll get some kind sword class.'
[The suitable Class will be bestowed upon the Player after your past actions have been thoroughly analyzed.]
'I guess that means, I'll get some sword-based Class. Especially since I've been practicing for nearly 5 years now.'
[The Host is Adamant and Unyielding, persevering through all challenges and obstacles, carving a path of blood to achieve your goal.]
'Huh, doesn't this make me sound like a badass. Though 'carving a path of blood', He did slaughter all of his opponents without mercy but wasn't that a bit...
'There is some truth to it though.'
[The Host thirst's for power to protect his family, but also lust's for battle and slaughter.]
'Yup, that sum's it up, though I don't really like killing but nor do I dislike it.
[Your desire and determination are enough to set upon the Killing Path]
'Yea-huh, Wait what!? The hell you mean Killing Path!?'
[Your Class has been set to 'Blade Butcher']
"... What the Fuck!?"
'Ara, ara this is certainly unexpected.'
"Why the hell is it called 'Blade Butcher' wasn't there a better name? And does that meaning I'll have to go around killing people'?"
'Jeez. Calm down will you? Remember the system said that it would give the most appropriate Class. So there must be a reason for this. And also are you an idiot, why would the system make you go around randomly killing people?'
Raven quenched his rage and began to think. He was now 11 years old nearing 12, he only had about 6 years before the plot of the story began. After that, it'll be one bad guy after the other each stronger than the previous. And he couldn't really on his memory of the anime because his existence should have already caused some butterfly effects. And he couldn't just leave his enemies alive, he had to kill them. He had watched and read enough things to know that leaving one of your enemies alive is a bad thing. He also knew that every strong person had mountains of corpses behind them, and he was pretty sure that he would have to kill a lot of people in the future.
*Sigh*
"Mah. Guess I was just overreacting."
'Don't worry about it.'
[Will you accept this Class?]
"I guess I will.
*Ding*
[Item: Bloody Requiem is reacting to your Class]
"Now, what!?"
[Would you like to upgrade the Class 'Blade Butcher' to 'Bloody Butcher']
Raven could feel his eye's twitching. Of course, he was going to upgrade the damn class. He wasn't an idiot. Though now his Class sounded like a psychopath's.
"Yes..." He said through gritted teeth.
[Your Class has been upgraded to Unique Class 'Bloody Butcher']
[You have acquired Class-specific skills.]
[You have acquired bonus Stats.]
[Due to Unique Class 'Bloody Butcher', your race has been changed to 'Corrupted Human'.(Note: Some of the host's skills may change.)]
Raven suddenly felt a pulse of power before his body radiated pain. He collapsed on to the floor, convulsing before his body exploded with black mana. After a few minutes, it calmed down and returned to his body.
*Pant... pant*
"Wh-What the h-hell was t-that?" Raven asked between breaths.
'Are you alright!?'
"Yeah, I'm fine, though it said my race was changed to 'Corrupted Human'... got any idea the fuck that is?"
'... You're unexpectedly calm about this.' asked Sanzu in a curious voice.
"After everything that happened today, I don't think I'll be surprised anymore, I mean at least it outright didn't my race to something like Devil or Fallen Angel. I also feel a lot stronger than before too."
'Well, I'm not really sure what happened but all your Mana was converted to some kind of demonic form of mana. The sheer purity is unlike I've ever seen.'
"Demonic? Like a devil's?"
'No. It is somewhat similar but... different at the same time. Just check your Stats for now ok.'
"Kay"

"HOLY SHIT! What the hell is up with these stats..." Raven was feeling numb after seeing his stats. True his stats had increased when he had acquired his sacred gear, but it was not increased by this much. If he was counting correctly his Stats had increased by 110 points.
*Whistling*
'This is quite amazing. Your power had increased immensely yet again. Not to mention you have gained some new skills. Is this the power of a Class?' Sanzu said in astonishment.
"Oh, yeah. I have to check out the new skills and the upgraded ones too. Though it seems some of them sound evil... Meh. Who cares, I already accepted a Class named 'Bloody Butcher' so this shouldn't be too bad."
Just as he was about to see his new skills, Raven heard a groan coming from his side.
"Uhh" It sounded like a girl.
Perplexed, Raven turned to his side to see a naked girl with long red hair laying on the floor just a few feet away.
Now, it should be mentioned that Raven was quite used to seeing scantly clad women due to his brother's hobbies. But seeing a naked woman from a magazine or some other source is completely different from seeing a naked woman in person.
After a few moments of ogling, he hurriedly went towards her. And now that he was up close, he could confidently say that the wom- no girl was very beautiful. She seemed to be about 16 or 17 years old.
It was at that exact moment that the girl opened her eyes, coming into contact with Raven's. And Red met Hazel.
"..."
"..."
After a few moments of starting the girl looked down to see that she was completely naked.
1... 2... 3... "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
*Slap*
...
And that's a Wrap. Woohooo!
I'm BACK SUCKERS!
Ok, so before we get down to business. I'm going to promise any update schedules anymore cause I don't think I'll be able to follow them, so I'll just do it at my own pace. Another thing to say is I'm slowly increasing the word count little by little my goal, for now, is to write a chapter for around 4000 words, though I'm hoping I'll be able to do it by 12th chapter or so.
Anyways now that shits out of the way. What did you guys think of this? Also, I'm sorry if the fight was kind of not well written and I do have reasons for that except for my horrendous experience in writing fight scenes which I'll be explaining in the next chapter.
Now, I know some of you might be upset with Raven's chosen path. But all I can say is that He wasn't meant to be just a bigger, better version of the Original Raven. Like I said, in the beginning, my character was inspired by Raven. Oh, yeah if you all wondering why I had named his class 'Bloody Butcher' just look at the damn title and reread the chapter.
As for his growth, now some might think he will be very OP or others might think he will be super weak. Here's the thing, If you guys remember I had created a rough scale to decide the strength of the characters. I'll be refining it as the story goes on but here's the gist of it.
E=Low-Class Devil: 0-200 Stat points
D=Mid-Class Devil: 200-400
C=High-Class Devil: 400-600
B=Ultimate-Class Devil: 600-1000
A=Devil King: 1000-1500
S=Super Devil: 1500-?
For now, this is the basic stuff. I'll add the angels and gods later on. Also, this is determined by the overall stat points, of which our MC has 378 putting him in D. So, yeah.
Now, for the Finale, Why did I do what I did with Elesis?
Well, the answer to that is... IN the next chapter. MWAHAHAHA
*Cough* *Cough*
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the chaps. Peace out.
