"GAH!" Elms had awoken to piles of hellhounds, all slain by his hand "so it wasn't a dream again."

"No siree."

"May I say resting before killing is a wise choice for the master?."

"Fine. The kid kinda deserves it. At least this one ain't bitchy about the weirdo shit he's going through."

"Master, the items."

"Items? Oh yeah, I remember picking something up."

"Well nothing you can do about it. The shop ain't open yet."

"Then what's the point of having one then!?" Ethan questioned the swords logic

"Relax, it'll be open once you reach level 20."

"20?! What am I now...? ...7!?!?" Ethan discovered after all this killing, he only reached 2 more levels "what BS is this?!"

"Master, you must remain calm. There's obviously more high leveled monsters as we head towards Kuoh Academy. Come on, get to it."

"All this time, when my arms were about to be detached, my skin boiling, my stomach ruined by pounces, a concussion, cramps on my legs, ribs broken....and you chose this moment after receiving 2 levels?"

".....maybe...."

"Oh look, monsters!"

"I see them!" He screamed at Ian "I have eyes you know."

"I wish you were blind."

"This mother....fucker..."

After hours of slaying stronger mobs, he reached the final stage of the dungeon.

"Holy smokes...has Ethan's face changed in a slightest?" Kiba now mentions something off about him "I don't remember it being that toned before."

"Your eyes don't deceive you, Kiba." Akeno wholeheartedly agrees with Kiba "gotta say, he looks more cute than before."

"....Really...?"

"Sorry. Can't help it."

Elms carefully observed his footsteps, trying not to awake the dungeon boss...which...is a human? The boss was an old man dressed ancient as if he were learning Martial Arts, short white hair with no facial hair at all, his left eye having an eye patch. His body emits this masterly feeling. The old man's height stood about 176 cm tall.

"Hmph." He said, stretching out his arms after waking up

"Hmph?" Ethan repeated "is that your way of talking-"

Before he knows it, Ethan felt 1 ton of weight land at his stomach, throwing his body into a wall. Elms couldn't process what just happened whether or not he was punched.

"Kid, you still alive!?"

"Master, speak to us!"

"I'm....fine...." He was not fine. He puked a little blood to show "what punch....was that?"

"Kid, that boss is still too strong for us to handle! We must retreat for now!"

"Sure we said finish the job but in this case, run!!"

"You can run kiddo...but you can't hide." The old man chuckled like Santa "you came to kill me. I suppose I have the right to defend myself."

"What...?!"

"Being a devil has its perk about semi-immortality. So I can kick youngsters ass with my fighting style-"

The old man tried to praise himself for being a devil until Ethan threw his sword at the man's head, then digs his weapon deeper while twisting it so he can hear that splorsh sound.

"Fuck off, old man."

"Get fucked. See? Told you acting scared will leave him open."

"But man...his punch was no joke."

You have slained the Dungeon Boss

You have leveled up!
You have leveled up!

Quest: slay your first dungeon (completed)
Reward 1: +30 stat points
Reward 2: 'Will to Rehabilitate' passive skill
Reward 3: 30,000 gold

Accept all ~(Ethan)

Oh, which stat is best for Ethan and his swords?

5 on agility, 10 on intelligence , 5 on strength, 5 attack on Ian, and 5 on attack Elle ~(Ethan)

"Alright, since the boss is defeated, why not explain the entire situation."

"Master, we are no ordinary weapons made by devils or angels, more like...lost treasures that were locked up until the day no ordinary man could reach us, has picked us up. Master, you are that no ordinary man. It is refreshing for us to see the light once more, we almost lost hope after centuries...or was it millenials?"

"My bet is on centuries."

"Master, there was a war that terrorized factions of fallen angels, angels, and devils."

Elle has foretold a story about the great war everyone has gone through, not a easy story to say at least.

"That is...until he created us. The man picked out each material from alliance from the factions and combined them all into a hilt, blade, shape, and power. That's when we awakened..."

"That bastard went into a shocked state when I spoke. His screaming is still lodged in my brain, repeating over and over, like he was trying to fuck my brain over! Wait, I have no brain!"

"There was another race, known for their size, tails, fire-breathing mouths, wings..."

"Dragons." Ethan finished for her

"Exactly. They were undefined in terms of strength. Gods saw them as threats who could play with them. That is until two has risen: Albion, the white dragon Emperor, and Ddraig, the red dragon Emperor. Both collided to see who is the strongest rival with new host every now and then. The white dragon has chosen a boy named Vali Lucifer, and the red dragon has chosen...don't wanna sound rude but...a sickening boy who thinks nothing of fat grown on chest and a harem."

"I can tell who that is...out of the three anyways."

"He is named Issei Hyodo."

"Knew it. But what about your creator?"

"Hm. Our creator sought to us as nothing but tools, ordering us to become silent. He cut down the heaven and hells wrath. They all feared us because we were unique."

"The power to grow continuously."

"We are the exact reason all the corruption exist, we are the reason so many lives were lost, we are the reason they locked us away, and we....are the reason God himself is dead."

"If you ever bear stories about God losing his life in the war, they're false. Believe none of them. They want to cover up his death after dying to the hands of our creator."

"....." Ethan stayed quiet with no reaction "is that...is that suppose to Shock me?"

"You aren't fazed by hearing God's dead?"

"No. I'm not religious. Never went to church my entire life."

"Are you an atheist?"

"I don't know what that means."

"Person who doesn't believe in god...I think."

"Maybe?"

"Who knows if the destruction of heaven and hell think we're still locked up tight in their...box. Being trapped had us reflect on those innocent lives we took...including children's."

"Hm. Then...what's this then?" Ethan had his status screen pop up

"That...Ian and I call it 'The System'. What The System could do is help reward the player after various quest given by us, including your growth. It helps store any items you collected on our journey, buy or sell stuff from the shop (sorry if it's closed), show status for your progression, and add skills. Say...have you experience any changes in your body?"

"I do feel light. My arms are giving off 'can lift 140 kg one-handed'. My ears hurt abominably for a bit."

"Then that is why."

"Quick question: what is a 'Player'?"

"That is a question we do not know ourselves..all we know is calling you a player and our master, nothing else."

"But we do know this: you will become the very first human in all of existence, to surpass God himself one day."

"Be warned, kid. Today, as of this age of devils, fallen angels, and gods...are greedy for power. Watch your back and remain hidden in the shadows for now."

"Don't join any faction. Not even the ones you are close to. We...are our own. No one else's."

"That...sounds scary. And the...dungeon is closing."

"Yes. Yes it is. We have collected our items."

Gotta say, being level 10 feels satisfying to say the least. ~(Ethan)

"Our progress is barely at 2%, master. But I do agree with you."

"Great, my dick is now dry thanks to your complexion."

You don't even have one ~(Ethan)

"Well you can suck on it then."

Can I hurt you? Hang on...ha! Rock ~(Ethan)

"Pfff!! A mere rock is a kids toy. Come back anot- AGGGHHHH!!!"

Oh, it worked! ~(Ethan)

"OKAY, OKAY, I GET IT! PLEASE STOP, I'M BEGGING YOU!!"

"Now the trip can now become quiet. It's good to never hear your voice, Ian. Master, what is it you like to do?"

"Me? Um....sing, listen to music, play video games, watch videos, sleep, starting to like exercise, breath fresh air, hang out...with my late girlfriend."

"I'm sorry to hear her passing, master. May I give my condolence to her family and you."

"Not the day I wanted to start out."

"Haha. Get used to it, bud."

"Bud? Does that hold any meaning towards one another? Or is it a naughty word, in which chase, you bitch."

"No, no. Nothing like that. It's a word to describe someone a friend. That's why I said bud. Hopefully I didn't call you anything else. If so, then fuck you, you fucking bitch. Kill yourself right now. I want to fucking smack the Absolute SHIT out of you. You trash of a weapon. Don't fucking talk back to me you piece of tool!"

"And there we go. Okay, okay. I know I pelt up some anger in you, feel free to release them."

"What do you mean? I'm all out."

"Oh....ignore what I said!"

"Eh? Is someone acting Tsundere on me?"

"Does someone have a crush on the master?"

"WHAT?! Never will I fall in love with the master! It's gay!"

"Nah, we call that bromance."

"Shut the fuck up! You have no part in this!"

"I'm the master. Master are always involved what their servants are doing."

You have exited the dungeon

Mm! Fresh air. The sun is out - the sun is out!? ~(Ethan)

"Your eyes and my senses don't fool you, master. We have been inside the dungeon for quite some time, would it be time for some breakfast?"

"Kid."

"What."

"Daily Quest."

Ethan sighed deeply once the screen had received his daily quest.

"There will be days." He said, timidly "my bones feel rusty so I guess good timing?"

"How's Ethan?" Rias questioned the spying Akeno

"Different. I feel magical aura coming from him! Bigger than it was from yesterday!" Akeno replied, showing how amazed she was

"Kiba mentioned he slained the weakest monster there was. Is that true?"

"Rias, you should've seen his style. It was a mix of dancing and randomness, kicking and punching, whatever Ethan knows he just kept throwing at it. That is a sight I couldn't keep my eyes away." She said "Rias, we must recruit him!"

"I fear you might say that. If we're gonna do that, we gotta act quick before Sona takes away our prey."

"When you put it like that you make it seem we're keeping it as a pet who obeys, nothing else." Akeno mentioned

"Gah! I meant member."

"Better in a way."

"ACHOO!!" Ethan sneezed

"Bless you!"

"Thank you!"

Just now, he sensed odd presence coming from the Academy. Was it a hideout full of secretive beasts or what? Or was it the eyes speaking out the window? It's surely the second question. Who and why are they keeping an eye on him? Perverts, perhaps. Well, who in the entire Academy is interested to an introvert individual like Ethan?

"Ethan." Akeno calls out for him

"Yes?"

"Would you mind lending your free time into my hands?"

"Uhhhh....sure?"

"Great! Follow me~." She said in a cheerful tone

She's weird ~(Ethan)

Kid, she's a devil ~(Ian)

Oh...should I run? ~(Ethan)

Patience, master. Let's see what they want to say ~(Elle)

They? ~(Ethan)

The room was dim with an atmosphere of romantic theme style, alone with fancy couches, a desk, weird wallpaper of choice and candles lit up. In Ethan's vision, everything looked rich and comfy for someone in a family who can afford the things present in the room. There was a tiny white - white haired girl? Kiba present with Issei standing beside him, Akeno who stood next to shower curtains with clothes ready at arms.

"Rias, I brought him." Kiba announced

"I brought the other." Akeno also announced

Ethan felt really uncomfortable around Issei blabbing about how great the club room is thanks to Koneko and this...shower curtain.

Rich people have weird taste ~(Ethan)

So that's Rias Gremory. I always thought what happened to her family after the great war. If you don't know, she's the next head of the Gremory Family, and is the younger sister of Sirzech. Who's by the way, a demon king...or devil - eh, who fucking cares about that shit. She's someone important to others, let's go with that ~(Ian)

Good to know ~(Ethan)

"Ethan? What brings you here?" Issei never once in his life, seen Ethan present at any clubs

"Akeno brought me here by force. She threatened me."

"Ah! I did not!"

"Judging by the rumors, you like to tease people. So I'd believe that." Issei aggressively nodded "did she blackmail you into naughty things?"

"Issei, now's not the time." Elms dodges his pervy question "why do I hear jazz music?"

"For setting up the mood." Kiba chuckles

"Mood for what?"

"Thanks for waiting. Sorry about this. I haven't washed up since I stayed over by your place." Rias exited the shower room, drying her hair with a white towel

"N-no, don't worry about it."

Ethan isn't sure to baffle or be impressed about this awkward moment. Instead, his face became this 'not bad, kid' while clapping to congratulate Issei for losing his virginity.

"You impressed me and I'm not even your father." Says Ethan

"It wasn't like that."

"You disappointed me and I'm not even your father." Ethan changed his opinion

"Wow....Ethan is disappointed at someone....yikes." Rias turns away "Everyone I can understand, but Ethan...wow! ...."

"Hi..." Ethan waved at Akeno

"Hello~!" She waved back

A moment of silence as if someone died. Rias breaks it...

"Okay, all of us are here. We welcome you into the Occult Research Club."

"O-okay."

"But the Occult Research Club is just an assumed font. Sort of a hobby of mine."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"I'll come right to the point. We are devils."

Elms choked on his own saliva after finding out something that could be breaking news. Devils, a word that was mentioned in Elle's story not too long ago.

"The fuck!?"

"Wait, Ethan is a devil?!" Issei is in awe "you were a devil this entire time and you didn't know others existed?!"

"Nononono, Ethan is still human. I suspect he's a human mage, that is why I came right to the point."

Human mage? ~(Ethan)

Shh!! Play along! If you do, we'll reward you 50 stat points! ~(Ian)

Master, our true identity shall not be exposed. Keep them distracted ~(Elle)

"Really!?"

"Yeh..."

"Has Delilah known-"

"Please, no." Ethan bows to get her to stop

"...my bad, Ethan."

Later

"Good job remaining a secret. Now those devilish cunts think we're just a Human Mage."

"Did humans ever had a big role in the war?" Ethan wanted to know

"No. None of them were. Just slaves picked up by fallen angels, devils, and gods."

"....those pricks."

"There was one who freed them and his role is a huge part: Thor."

"Thor? Aesir god?"

"One of the many that are considered good gods."

"And short. Hey, if you ever met Hades, hang out with the guy. He's pretty lonely and his relationship with his wife is still going strong till this day."

"Ah. So history is actually real. I finally gonna meet my favorite norse gods."

"Favorite? I thought we were your
