The organization that I needed to confront later on was Grigori. The organization that experimented on Sacred Gears.
My family worked in the supernatural; they made fortunes doing it, supplying Sacred Gears to Grigori. In other words, human trafficking.
They were currently providing people to be experimented on and used like pieces of meat on a chopping board. I rested my head on my arm and leaned back onto the couch.
The window was open, letting the gentle spring breeze carry the fragrance of the season.
I was inside my own house; it was bigger than it looked. The inside was in a European style, like I was inside a library. Books were stacked around the room until I found an old-looking book. The cover was old, as
it was covered in dust, and parts of the cover were missing. [Mana Conductivity ----]
All I could interpret was two words: Mana Conductivity. Everything else on the cover was worn out, like it was scribbled out, so I couldn't see, but it was just the passage of time. But there wasn't anything notable while in this book; it was just a thing to read while passing the time until they arrived. A woman with black hair and violet eyes had appeared inside the room. I was seated on the single couch that was in the middle of the room; there weren't any other chairs.
"Was this your idea of a date...?"
"Huh.... I didn't say anything of the sort.... Akeno..."
She had picked up a book from the small shelf that was in the room; there were multiple small shelves holding books.
The cover of the book she took was provocative. [101 Ways on How to Seduce a Man]. With the book in her hand, she had sat next to me. We sat silently on the couch; her head was resting on my shoulder as she comfortably flipped pages.

"Huh.... I didn't say anything of the sort.... you were the one who came over Akeno..."
"Mhmm"
She had picked up a book from the small shelf that was in the room; there were multiple small shelves holding books.
The cover of the book she took was provocative. [101 Ways on How to Seduce a Man]. With the book in her hand, she had sat next to me. We sat silently on the couch; her head was resting on my shoulder as she comfortably flipped pages.
But I ignored her; I was more focused on what the book in front of me was.... the title was not what it was describing.
When thou meets a force like the heavens, thou needs to conquer it; when thou meets a force that thou can't conquer, thou needs to slice through it...
It had ended there. I tried turning the pages with my fingers, but they were all stuck together, so I couldn't read them anymore.
"Mhmm, where are you going...?"
Akeno's soft voice that was right next to me was questioning where I was going.... She was like a cat; when she was around me, she clung to me, but in this moment, her cheeks were puffed out slightly, with a soft redness on her.
I was reluctant to go; I stayed there. Her voice was like a soft whisper in my ears. I didn't want to move from this spot. Her boobs were pressed against my hands.
I wanted to squeeze them.
"Ugh! Hnnng"
Her small voice moaned. Her voice was shaken and quiet. I wanted to continue.
"Not now...Amamiya-Kun."
"Okay."
My hands let go. Akeno's eyes were staring into mine. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she was breathing heavily. Her eyes were glazed over. She seemed to be enjoying it.
But she also didn't want to continue past this point.... so, I didn't press further, and I respected it.
I had known about her past, if she didn't want to continue today. It was fine.
Akeno lazed back in my grasp, her breath still a little ragged. her back lay against my chest, and in her hand was the provocative book she'd been reading.
"I should probably..."
She started, but the words trailed off into the silence that had suddenly grown heavy in the room.
I cleared my throat, the sound harsh in the quiet space.
"The book,"
I said as my fingers were gesturing towards the book in her hands. Her face had changed. A noticeable Blush of red had appeared on her cheeks.
"So.... When are you going to seduce me....?"
Akeno blinked, then a slow smile spread across her face.
"Is that an invitation, Amamiya-kun?"
Her violet eyes danced with mischief, the earlier embarrassment seemingly forgotten.
"Perhaps. Or perhaps I'm just curious if you've learned any useful techniques from that... manual."
My gaze dropped pointedly to the book still clutched in her hand.
But she didn't reply; she just rested her head against my chest now. Her ample bosom rested there, and her head, right against my neck.
Come to think of it, I didn't have many fond memories of this world. Ever since I was born, I was supposed to be the nobody of DxD.
I had changed the fate of this world, and I will continue to do so.
First, I need to join, or create, a place I can actually enjoy and be a part of.
And one group, one singular group, was inside my head in this moment. It was a group founded by the Dragon of Infinity.
And their motto was to grant Ophis her silence that she so desperately wanted. The Dimensional Gap.
Not that I wanted to go there; their group had fit the criteria: a place filled with strong people, connections I can use, and a place where I can observe the plot.
But was it better than being with Rias's peerage? The ability to constantly observe them was a benefit, as I had known. And I didn't know if going to Vali's group, the Kaos Brigade, was worth it.
The next stage of the plot is Issei versus The Blazing Chicken. It was a fight I had no intention of intervening in if I didn't receive a quest. Rias, I didn't need to involve myself with that family of weirdos.....
It was time to upgrade my arsenal.
I stared at the materialized blue screen. The text in front of me was a choice I needed to make.
A random upgrade token is being generated.
Would you like to use...
Y/N
My fingers had hovered over yes. Then I had tapped it. Then there was a single wheel with multiple options.
It had spun, a small golden wheel that had letters on it, with symbols. One showed a knife, then the other a sword with fire that was clinging to it.
There was also one with white feathers, but then there was one that just showed a question mark. These four things encompassed my whole being.
It had slowed and slowed down to a point where it had stopped at a singular name.

Principled Faction
Chaotic Aliment: Good
A faction that only has quests revolving around the people they are currently in a relationship with.
Quests are limited to the people that are currently in a relationship with.
Three options, three different paths.
I stared at the screen that was in front of me, the blue light cast against the dim room. Akeno hadn't moved; she was still resting against my chest, her breathing was slow and steady.
My eyes moved across the three options. The unprincipled faction was crossed out. Choosing the unprincipled faction was the worst case.
It wasn't something that I needed.
The principled faction was limited, too limited; I wasn't at a stage where narrowing my options was a smart idea.
Which of these choices had left me with only one choice? Which had left me with only one option, the one left in the middle. The Neutral Faction.
[Neutral Faction has been selected.]
[Chaotic Alignment: Neutral. Quests will revolve around individuals who have left a lasting impression on the user. Limitations apply based on established connections.]
a lasting impression.
I looked down at the woman who was resting against me. Her black hair had fallen slightly across her face.
She hadn't noticed the screen; she couldn't see it, nobody could.
[New Quest Parameters are being calibrated based on your connections.]
[Updating roster...]
[The Erotica System will be unavailable for the time being...]
unavailable, that was new to me, ever since I came to Kuoh, it would pop out quests randomly, was I finally free of that...?
The screen had finally dissolved; it was gone, it had disappeared, as if it wasn't even there to begin with.
Akeno was sleeping, her breath was slow and relaxed as her body was against mine, her hair was fanned out against my chest, and the book that she was previously reading had slipped out of her hand.
Thud!!!
The book had landed on the floor.
It was now a time when I had to tell Akeno how to progress her lightning. I knew where this was going, but a promise was something I couldn't break.
It was a self-problem; there was only one way to progress the holy lightning that she processed, it wasn't a training issue, or where you needed to pour effort that grinds your bones.
Akeno's lightning was powerful; everyone in Risa's peerage knew that, but only a select few knew that she was only using half of its power.
as the lightning came from a heritage she despised, and didn't want to accept, the other half of her, the half that her father Baraqiel a fallen angle.
it was a heritage she hated, but that hatred came from her father, Baraqiel, the man who couldn't even protect her mother.
"Were you watching me sleep....?"
"Mhmm."
Ufufu~ Oh....How devoted"
"Would u like to go on a date, Mistress?"
