DXD Issei: The Mind of Games

"So... I'm back here in the Occult Building again?" Issei asked while standing right in front of the front door with Rias.

"Yeah... I mean... The school doesn't look that great and this is the closest we are getting to a private building." Rias turned her head to Issei before opening the door. Pouting and squinting her eyes, she spoke again, "Do you not like my little home?"

"It looks almost as old as some of our teachers."

"Don't be mean..."

"Yes... always be mean..."

Sighing, Rias opened the door, and inside the room was Rias's peerage and Sona... with Tsubaki and Saji.

"Oh... I didn't believe you Rias when you said Issei was the one who saved you." Sona began while eyeing Issei down. "How powerful is he... Rias?"

"Sona... trust me when I say this... even if my entire peerage and I were to fight him... he would destroy us."

Sona was a little skeptical of that claim. This was Issei... the same man who was titled the perverted beast of Kuoh...

"President... I don't really see what's so special about Issei. He just looks normal to me." Saji said while looking confused upon seeing Issei.

"If I look normal... how about every single one of you come and fight me? I'll take all challengers." Issei summoned his Great Sword and activated Tank.

Saji was the first to stand in front of Issei. "Let's see what you are truly made of Issei."

-----------------------

Level: 12

HP: 750/750

MP: 250/250

STR: 11

AGL: 11

END: 15

INT: 10

-----------------------

Was this man really trying to challenge him when he couldn't even do anything to him. Issei had 23 levels over him. Saji literally couldn't do any damage to him.

Saji rushed in with his fist reeled back aiming to take Issei down. When making contact with Issei's body, his fist stopped. The sheer damage reduction that Issei had nullified everything that Saji would be capable of doing. "Really? You thought that would have worked?"

Grabbing Saji and slamming him into the ground, the bonus 230% damage increase Issei had made the simple slam absolutely annihilate Saji's body. Standing proud, Issei looked towards Sona and glared. "Wasn't the brightest in the shed... Now, will we continue this meeting with violence or will we speak like actual normal people."

-----------------------

Name: Sona

Title: Heiress of the House of Sitri

MP: 3250/3250

STR: 26

AGL: 30

END: 32

INT: 45 (+20)

Bonus: +20% Magic Damage

-----------------------

Issei noticed that she was just a weaker Rias. They both had the same build, pure magical damage, but Rias just had higher stats and a better bonus. If she was weaker than Rias, she was a joke compared to him.

Sona held her queen piece back, she knew that sending her towards Issei would bring chaos. There was something about him... the way that he destroyed Saji... she got a glimpse of his power, and something was telling her that her entire peerage would get incinerated by him if they fought. Rias was watching this with a smug smile knowing that Sona was going to get schooled. "I'm sorry for that... sometimes he does things without thinking about the consequences. He just cares about me greatly... Rias, let's begin this meeting."

Rias, who was in the back corner secretly cheering Issei on, sighed in disappointment, she wanted to see Sona get her shit rocked by Issei. "Well... this meeting was just to tell everyone who truly caused the abandoned church to collapse."

"I'm guessing it was Issei who did this." It wasn't really that hard to know that Issei did it when he was someone who Sona didn't know in the supernatural world.

Rias pouted again, "I really suck at making surprises."

"One day you'll become good." Issei jokingly said, causing her to scoff at him.

Kiba and Akeno widened their eyes upon hearing the revelation... "So, Issei was the one who killed them all." Kiba wanted to make sure that what he was hearing was the truth. Rias nodded causing for the two to sigh... They were lucky having Issei on their side rather than as their enemy.

"So... Was that really all you wanted from me?"

Rias shook her head, "I also wanted to ask you for help..." Fidgeting with her fingers, she looked up at Issei with a nervous expression, "Could you... Help me and Sona defeat stray devils around? Ever since yesterday, I have been afraid of dealing with stray devils alone... Could you... please beat them? I'll come with you... I'll reward you in any way... I just... can't do it alone anymore."

Issei heard it and was going to refuse it... However, he began thinking... If he continued getting closer to these people, the more rewards he would get. Not only was he going to get a title from this meeting... What else could he get? "Could I get equipment?"

Rias nodded immediately... Maybe this would be worth it. "Fine..." Plus, he could level up from smaller quests he would get from helping this woman. Rias squealed and hugged Issei again and thanked him multiple times... Issei could only groan from the affection... This was like the third time within a single day that she had done this.

Sona smiled before looking at Issei and speaking, "Issei Hyoudou... I know we may have started off on the wrong page with my pawn disrespecting you... but I really am grateful for you... for you to help us. When I heard Rias was badly injured from a stray devil... I was worried for her and myself because my peerage and I are weaker than Rias... If she got destroyed, I could only worry what would have happened to me." Sona began walking towards the exit, not before saying one last thing," If you need help from me... Don't be afraid to ask. Not only that, I will also reward you for doing this."

Issei nodded before a message showed up.

-----------------------

Quest Completed: Complete the meeting

Reward: New title unlocked

Title: The Guardian of Kuoh

Passive bonus: +2 to all stats

-----------------------

Issei smiled when seeing that... Another boost to his power and he would gladly take it.

However, his smile was short lived when he felt a massive presence within the room. Grabbing Rias and safely placing her behind him, Issei pulled out his Great Sword and shield and gritted his teeth towards the presence.

"So... This is your hero... dear sister. His instincts of protecting you caught me by surprise."

Standing in the middle of the room was Sirzechs Lucifer... The king of hell and his wife were right behind him. While everyone was already beginning to bow in respect to the Lucifer... While Issei could only shiver in fear... His eyes were widened... Rias, being the only other person within the room not bowing in the presence of Lucifer and his wife, shook Issei gently in worry. "Are you alright?"

"You... didn't tell me... Your brother was a monster." Sirzechs, upon hearing that, smirked before chuckling.

-----------------------

Warning! Warning! Warning!

Opponent too powerful to be scanned with your current level.

-----------------------

This was the first time that the system had done this... for the system to not be able to scan someone because of Issei's power... this was definitely something that he needed to try later when he was stronger... but this was monstrous... the pressure that Sirzechs was releasing was a different level... Issei's legs were trying their best not to shake...

"But don't worry Issei... I'm not here to hurt you. Rather, I'm here to thank you." Walking towards Issei and Rias, Sirzechs patted his sister's head and looked up to Issei. "This idiot sometimes gets herself into danger that is too much for her... if it weren't for you... I wouldn't be seeing my adorable little sister standing here." Sirzechs reached his hand out for a handshake. "As a brother... I want to thank you for saving my sister."

Reaching out and shaking the Lucifer's hand, Issei nodded... "No problem..."

"I wanted to reward you as a brother... for saving my sister... I'll give you anything."

-----------------------

Choice 1: Ask for money

Choice 2: Ask for equipment

Choice 3: Ask for women

Choice 4: Ask for his sister's hand in engagement

Choice 5: Ask for nothing

-----------------------

Option 1 was useless when his system worked off its own currency. Option 3 was useless... What are women going to do when he is fighting a monster? Option 4 was also in the same boat... useless. Option 5 was just the system trolling him...

"I would like to have another sword... just like this." Showing his Great Sword to Sirzechs, the Lucifer nodded.

"That's it?"

Nodding, Issei looked at the Lucifer in confusion... "Yeah?"

Sirzechs chuckled, "You're truly built like a hero... I'm guessing you want another replica of this sword to help others..."

No... He just wanted another one to go all strength in the dungeons coming up. Why did they really misunderstood his intentions... Issei didn't really mind, the more rewards he gets... the safer he felt going into the dungeons.

"While I get your reward in preparation, how about all of us sit down and talk somewhere?"

Rias squealed before speaking, "How about we all go to your house Issei?"

"That sounds like a wonderful idea." Sirzechs added onto his sister's idea.

Before Issei could refuse, they already teleported in front of his house. Rias was already knocking on the door... the problem with introverts hanging out with pure extroverts... Sometimes they just... don't stop to think.
