DxD: Parry This, You Filthy Casual

CHAPTER 1

-

'I think I am traumatized by this event.'

He thought to himself as he reluctantly sucked on his new mother's breast for milk.

It's been almost a month since he was born along with his twin brother. Ever since he was a decent-sized embryo, he could feel his brother next to him when in the womb, though he couldn't see since his eyes weren't developed yet.

He already resigned to the fact that he reincarnated with a LOT of memories suppressed. And yes, suppressed, not removed. It's like someone placed a seal on his memories, with him only retaining common sense and general knowledge.

Other than that, any recollection of his past life was just a cloudy blank. He didn't really mind it though; he had a few months in the womb to get over it. Instead, he's kind of excited with this new life.

After all, the name of the household that he was birthed into was going to play an important role in about 16 years, give or take a few months, with his new name being Hyoudou Ryuji.

Yes, his twin brother of a minute early is called Hyoudou Issei. The pervert from Highschool DXD? He could remember that the moment Ryuji heard their surname. Like a flash flood, his memories of the series suddenly burst from the "seal," giving him vital information about the world that he was living in.

Ryuji did note to himself to try his best curbing the perverted nature of his older twin brother, too.

'Huzzah to surviving 4 plus years without anything happening!'

He cheered in his mind as he climbed to the highest point of the jungle gym in the park near home, both hands raised in a cheer as the rest of the children his age tried to follow along. Meanwhile, his eyes moved to gaze at the child with the same shade of brown for his hair.

Hyoudou Issei, the main protagonist of this world and the bearer of the Dragon of Dominion's Arm. A little horrifying to think about, but it may be him who stole it and becomes this generation's Red Dragon Emperor. Anything can happen at this point...

Oh, he's talking to some kids that looked older than him. Ah, there's that boy that Issei's being meeting up with. They were talking a bit... And Issei got pushed down to the ground. His maternal instincts flaring, he quickly hopped down the jungle gym and moved towards his twin brother and the other boy for support.

"Issei!"

"R-Ryu!"

Issei and his friend started sniffling as he pointed at the older children who had a sneer on their faces.

"They took my new friend's toy!"

"Try me, kid! It's mine now!"

The leader of the older group taunts, waving the toy sword in his hand with a smug grin.

"My momma bought that; give it back!"

Light violet stared back as Ryuji almost did a spittake. What was this guy's name again? ... Irina? Oh, wow, the books were not lying; she really did look like a guy with that haircut.

Now, he was not a fan of violence, but they were bullying Issei's first friend. They both were starting to tear up, so this should be an exception to the rule, no?

... Oh, who was he kidding, he smacked a kid for less.

Walking towards the group of older children, Ryuji gave Issei a smile and a thumbs up before using said arm to backhand the leader's face, his fist digging into the cheek full of baby fat. The sudden pain and shock from the punch caused him to drop to the ground heavily, the toy sword flying in the air before Ryuji caught it with relative ease.

Tossing it back to Irina, who looked surprised, he immediately backed off as the leader got up relatively easily due to the low power behind the punch; it was more of shock than pain that made him fall butt first.

What? He was only 4 and a few months old; he doesn't have the power behind his bones to generate so much power to harm the kid.

"Get him!"

"Issei, Irina, RUNNNNN!"

Yelling a warning, he started sprinting away as the three older kids moved to chase him for a beating, a large grin painting his face as his heart beat rapidly.

He didn't come out of that unscathed, even if he won the fight with a few questionable tactics. Said tactics meant cheap shots to the crotch, but one of them punched his nose and made him bleed; it was only fair that he returned the pain back a thousand folds!

Anyways, the important thing here was that he unlocked his Sacred Gear.

Sacred Gears, something unique to this world's power system, was a gift from the biblical God above for humans to have an equal chance against the supernatural forces that roam around the Earth. Basically, God gave humans gifts to survive against devils, fallen angels, yokais, etc.

After socking the last remaining kid that chased him into the forest near Kuoh Town in the nuts, he suddenly awakened his Sacred Gear as the kid fell to the ground with foam in his mouth. Good thing he went unconscious before Ryuji accidentally manifested it; that would be a nightmare to explain.

Making sure that the guy was alright, he started walking back home with his Sacred Gear in hand. The kids were fine; they were not far from the opening of the forest from the town; it's a safe place that people often visit for picnics.

So, his Sacred Gear. It had the form of a sword without a blade. The handle was still in good shape though, with inhumanly good craftsmanship. Its hilt and pommel were golden with a blurred engraving that seemed to have worn out due to long wear and tear and black wrappings around the handle that made the blade feel comfortable to hold. The Sacred Gear had a decent weight to it, though its heaviness may be due to his still-developing muscles.

But a sword with no blade? Seriously? What kind of Sacred Gear is this? He checked the center of the hilt where the blade was supposed to be and noticed that there's a cutout in the hilt where a blade was present; it was as if the blade was... plucked out from the sword?

What a weird Sacred Gear.
