Struggling against the ropes binding her hands behind her back she glared up at the smirking asshole as he played with the knife in his hands.
"You didn't really think you could put a gun to my head without consequences did you?" he asked in amusement as he but her nightgown open and cut the front of her bra making her breasts spill out, her tiny panties being the only thing protecting her modesty.
Normally she'd be cursing and fighting... but as her eyes flicked to Saya, also bound with a ball gag keeping her from speaking, she hesitated. She'd let her guard down and Kuro hadn't hesitated to take advantage of it. She'd failed to protect Saya, the trail of blood and cum leaking down her daughters leg had made that clear.
As he cut the side of her panties, pulling them away she winced, feeling him climb on top of her as he pressed his shaft against her shamefully wet pussy, thrusting into her with a laugh.
Shooting up in her bed she clutched her chest with a gasp, feeling her nightie still on... looking to her side she let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Saya fast asleep, untouched.
That was the third time she'd woken up due to a wet dream of Kuro taking her... in one night.
She knew why, even if she would never admit it. She had a very active sex life with her husband, but since his death she hadn't even masturbated once, leaving her horny.. and Kuro hit her fetish.
She had a thing for strong men, normally that meant people like her husband with bulging muscles, but their small fight proved that Kuro was unnaturally strong, maybe even stronger than her husband had been despite the size difference. When he had pinned her to the bed she had felt herself grow wet, the show of power turning her on...
It was shameful, but raw strength had always driven her wild, even if she had no interest in the teen her body hadn't quite got the message... neither had her subconscious judging by the constant wet dreams.
She knew the best way to fix this, she just needed some... personal time, she was just horny that was all... but she didn't want to leave Saya alone while she was sleeping, she just didn't trust Kuro.
...Her daughter was a deep sleeper, and a late riser.
Biting her lip she slid her hands down her body, making sure Saya was completely asleep as she started stroking herself. She just needed to get it out of her system, that was all...
God she missed Souichiro... trying to remember the last time they were together she closed her eyes, her free hand moving to her breasts.
"Mmm... Kuro..." she moaned before her eyes shot open, covering her mouth with her free hand. She hadn't... Dammit.
"Kuro? Really, mother?" her daughters voice said scornfully as she got out of bed. "Dad's been dead for what? A week? And I'm getting my own room, clearly you need the privacy." she said mockingly as she stormed off making Yuriko's face flush in shame.
...That could have gone better.
- Asami Nakaoka -
She sighed in depression as she walked away from the place where Matsushima-Senpai was directing the survivors who had managed to make it to the Roof with them to clutter the entrance of the stairs with the heavy stuff which they had stored there for emergencies.
The group of survivors had been larger just an hour ago but a child had a mental breakdown and had fled the mall wanting his parents, in the process he had foolishly left the entrance open.
The undead hadn't wasted any time in piling in, swarming the survivors in no time at all... the fatalities had risen almost immediately. They just didn't have the weapons or the manpower to hold the horde off.
The group was tiny now, just her, Matsushima, a reporter called Shiori who had managed to make it to the mall after her crew had come under attack, and the strangest pair... a older American man and two young American women.
William, or Bill as he preferred to go by was the main reason they had survived at all, the old man had jumped into action and gunned down the undead with ease, apparently he was a war veteran, and she could believe it.
There was a problem with the language barrier, but Matsushima spoke some English. Apparently Bill, Zoey and Rochelle were all on a holiday cruise that had briefly stopped in their city... just in time for the apocalypse.
The Situation didn't look very good for them, the undead couldn't seem to get up to the roof thankfully, but they were still stuck.
Thankfully Matsushima had feared that something could happen to the entrance and decided to store their non-perishable foods on the roof along with drinks, make-shift weapons and even a Grill which they could use to cook food. Hell, they even had a portable toilet from the Camping section of the mall.
They wouldn't starve anytime soon. But they had no-where to go, the mall was overrun with undead now, leaving them trapped on the rooftop...
Hearing Bill say something in English she turned and saw him looking off the rooftop with a pair of binoculars he took from the camping section... as he said something to Matsushima she watched as Matsushima grabbed the binoculars also looking out towards the sea with a frown.
Looking out herself, she could see... a Yacht in the distance, but it was too far away for her to make out anything more than that, nor could she understand what they were talking about, she didn't speak English after all.
- Kuro -
Looking over a map of Tokonosu, I circle a few places worth checking out, the mall, a minor military base (where my drones are) and a hospital, along with a few smaller ones like a pharmacy and some stores that might be worth checking out.
"Are you sure it's worth heading out again?" Saeko asks as she watches me go over the map.
"I am, we're well set up here, but we will run out of resources eventually, power and water we have a almost limitless supply off, but food is a problem, not right now, we have months worth, years worth, even if we don't ration it, but eventually we will run low. Even quicker if our group grows." I say making her pause before she nods.
"I suppose that's why you're the leader. I've never been good at thinking that far ahead." she admitted calmly.
"You're leaving the Yacht again? Take me with you." Saya orders getting our attention.
"You want me to take a rich girl with no combat skills into the apocalypse with me? I'll pass." I say coldly going back to my map as I start planning a path.
"If we are going to stay here, we need supplies and I don't trust you to grab the right ones. You just have to protect me while I search." she says with a scowl making me frown.
"I don't particularly care what you trust or think, and I'm not taking you with me. As a reminder... I am the leader here, not you. We are letting you stay with us as a mercy, you and your mother wouldn't last out there after all." I say coldly as I walk towards her, looking down at her as she flinches.
She's learning, slowly but she is learning. I suppose almost being raped by the men she belittled has at least had some effect.
"Saya? What are you doing?" Yuriko asks as she bursts into the room. "We've spoked about this. Go back to our room... now." she orders with a glare as Saya goes to argue.
"I'd listen to her if I was you." I say with a glare. She needs to learn that she can't order any of us around.
As she storms off, I cast Eternal Erotic Dreams and I turn my glare to Yuriko.
"Get her under control. I won't have her ordering my people around." I order as she flinches, the slightest blush growing on her face. Eternal Erotic Dreams for the win, she looks like she's had trouble sleeping...
If it got Kushina to suck my dick, it'll do the same to her.
"I will, I'll talk with her..." she says as I turn back to the map.
"Kuro-kun!" a new voice calls out making me sigh, Saeko giggling to herself as I do.
"Shizuka? Is there something I can do for you?" I ask with a sigh.
"Rika's nearby! One of the girls spotted her on the shore! Can we go get her?" she begs making me frown, checking in with my spirits.
Huh, she's faster than I anticipated... I thought it would take her a few hours to reach the shore without a vehicle.
"Of course, I can go and grab her. You stay here, I don't want you putting yourself in danger... Saeko you come with me." I say making her smile as she clutches her bokken, I need to get her a real katana.
Heading out I decide to make a use of the small speed-boat this Yacht has instead of rowing, it has limited gasoline, but I can loot some more soon.
What even is the quest for 'finishing' this world? I don't think I ever got one...
Quest Added
[Highschool of the Dead: Sanctuary]
Objective : Find a safe place for your group to survive in.
Objective One: Find a safe location [Complete]
Objective Two: Find a source of power, water and food [2/3]
Reward : World Reset, Next World Unlocked.
...I'm almost done? Already?
What the fuck is a world reset?
Once all the objectives have been completed, you have the choice to reset this world to it's pre-humanity state, to build a true 'Sanctuary'.
...Huh. That's... interesting.
And potentially useful since I can build my 'Monster Sanctuary' here as well afterwards, I haven't found a better place to use all my monster girls after all.
Still, getting rid of everything before I am ready is bad, I need to gather everyone in this world worth gathering, so far I know that Highschool of the Dead and Resident Evil are involved, but I don't know who else is around here.
Survivor Checklist
Highschool of the Dead
[Rei Miyamoto] [Kiriko Miyamoto] [Rika Minami] [Alice Maresato] [Zeke] [Asami Nakaoka] [Hitomi Matsushima] [Shiori Aoyagi]

Ahh.. Thanks?
Still... that's a lot of names, there are countless crossed out, some with a skull next to them, like Takagi, and some with a tick, like Saeko. I don't even know all these names... a lot of the resident evil ones are a mystery to me.
Also... I can't use magic in plain sight... but Lollipop Chainsaw exists? As in, the main character who fights with a chainsaw and carries the severed but still living head of her boyfriend around? How is that not magic? Low-Magic my ass.
My completionist urges wants me to gather them all, it wouldn't be that hard for the HotD ones, but the others could be an issue. I don't even know where to start looking. Not to mention, the Resident Evil ones will be happening in America (probably), which is a long way from here...
My best bet would be to grab the Highschool of the Dead ones, and move the Yacht towards America, it's a decently long trip but that's the whole point of a Yacht. Still, even if I move to America... it's a big place. Even my spirits have their limits, I can't scour the world for where they are hiding.
This could take a while. Still, I have... more things to do right now. Creating my second form, he switches with a Spirit immediately.
While I'm grabbing a sniper for my team... he has some work to do.
- Kuro (Second Form) -
Building a throne out of gold bars I sit down on it with a nod.
Once the apocalypse started, I wanted to do this but the security stayed here for a surprisingly long time...
Fort Knox, the impenetrable fortress... guess they didn't make a plan for teleporting assholes. Watching my skeletons loot everything that isn't nailed to the ground, piling it up in front of me I nod.
And like that, my money problems are gone. I have more gold than I can ever use. Rose will have a heart attack when I move back to Overlord, my treasury as never been so full before. And this is only the first stop in my world-wide heist, countless banks and gold deposits are waiting for me, completely unprotected.
It's good to be me.
- Kuro (True Form) -
With the fact that this might just be a much longer term project than I originally realised... it might be worth heading back to DxD sooner than expected.
I want to completely be done with everything I have to do in that world, which is slightly problematic since I don't know what comes after Season Two, and then I want to clear Overlord out, securing my Hub World.
And then I'll come back here and finish getting the rest of the survivors on the list, finishing each world in the order I unlocked them. I was too quick to jump worlds, leaving too much unfinished.
As I park up the speed-boat, pausing for a moment to consider whether park is the correct term, I jump out, heading towards Rika as she stares at me, her hand resting on a pistol at her hip.
"There's really no need for that, Shizuka sent me to grab you, she's on the yacht." I say holding my hands up making her eyes widen for a moment before they narrow.
"If Shizuka is there... why didn't she come out herself?" she asks suspiciously. Why does everyone mistrust me?
"She wanted to... I made her stay back. She's... clumsy, and I think keeping her from putting herself in danger with her ditzyness." I say making Rika's lips twitch
"That... was probably a good call. Fine, I suppose you must at least know her to know that she's clumsy. And I don't think we should stick around here any longer..." she says nodding her head towards a single zombie shambling towards us.
It isn't a threat obviously, but where there is one, others will follow... I can already see more in the distance moving our way.
Saeko calmly leaps forwards, smashing the first zombies head in a brutal downswing, causing it to drop to the ground, but already more are headed our way.
"We can talk on the Yacht, come on." I say with my hand resting on my machete as I watch more and more zombies come out from the surrounding buildings, growing from a few harmless undead to a small horde, growing in size as we watch.
"Agreed, we can't stay here. Just don't try anything, my bullets are faster than your blade." she says quickly as we jump back onto the speed-boat, watching the undead fall into the water in an attempt to get to us. Again, they can't swim so they just sink to the bottom of the harbour.
Driving back, Rika proves to be not much of a conversationalist, but then again she did just lose her team at the airport, my Spirits saw the fight there... honestly I think they screwed themselves.
They made way too much noise, and it just drew more and more undead to them until they finally failed to stop the horde, it's no surprise that the only survivor isn't feeling exactly chatty. The silent treatment, perpetual frown and troubled eyes have a lot to say about her mental state.
Saeko is as quiet as usual, but that's just her being her, I haven't seen her phased by anything yet.
With these two being like this the drive back is... quiet.
As we get off Rika finally brightens up as Shizuka rushes her, the two women grabbing each other in a tight hug.
+22 Affection with Shizuka Marikawa [85/100] for reuniting her with her friend.
+21 Affection with Rika Minami [21/100] for protecting her friend
As the two rapidly talk, I head passed them. I'll leave them to their reunion for now. I don't know how to deal with over-emotional people anyway.
Heading towards a particular girl I knock on her door, hearing movement inside.
"Kuro? W-what can I do for you?" Toshimi asks, she's still afraid of me... can't say I'm that surprised.
"I wanted to talk to you, you're the one who told the others you saw someone on the short, right?" I ask, glancing at the binoculars on her bedside table making her blush.
"I-I was, I found those on the floor and thought they were interesting, so I took them... is that a problem?" she asks hesitantly.
"No, quite the opposite. I wanted to ask you to keep it up actually." I say making her pause. "Call it your 'job' on the ship, I want you to spend as much time looking over the coast for anyone in need of help. Maybe split the job with Misuzu, I want eyes on the city as often as possible... can you do that for me?" I ask with a smile making her blush.
"I.. I can, I don't mind, I'll watch the city as much as possible." she says not making eye contact. "...can I ask you a question?" she asks hesitantly.
"Thanks, and of course. Ask away." I say with a small laugh.
"Why do you want to save people? What do you get out of it?" she asks looking up to see my reaction.
"Honestly? No idea, but I've got the skills to save people, so I might as well do it, right?" I say with a shrug. Admitting I'm trying to build my collection up isn't the best idea.
+11 Affection with Toshimi [50/100] for being a good person, or at least for convincing her that you're one...
[Survival in numbers] – Toshimi Niki [50]
Affection, Reputation and Obedience grows faster with survivors
"I-I agree.. not everyone was as lucky as us. When I was looking over the coast I kept seeing people I recognised... if you hadn't lead us here I'd probably be with them... I'm sorry I've been... ungrateful." she says looking down in shame. Nothing like a reminder of how I kept her alive to make her feel bad about being scared off me.
"It's fine, it's not like I don't understand you're fear. Normal people aren't exactly fond of killers after all." I say with a laugh, placing a hand on her head and ruffling her hair getting a small smile from her.
Heading off, I think about what I'm going to do today. Can't grind because my second form is busy and people would notice me missing, the yacht isn't that big after all.
I'm not ready to go on another raid at the moment, Rei and her mother are still safe in their house, doing a surprisingly good job at holding out. Alice and her father are on the move again, keeping quiet and not attracting attention, the smart thing to do... of course they have basically no supplies and will either starve or be caught eventually. The others from the Highschool of the Dead group I don't recognise the name off, but I only watched the Anime so maybe they're Manga characters? Not sure where they are, but my spirits can search for other survivors.
But that leaves today as a free day. Well, this is a Luxury Yacht, might as well relax. Kyoko has taken to getting the students to clean the place of blood-stains, they might not like cleaning blood up but they listened to her reasoning, she's right of course, if we are going to be living here then keeping it clean is the smart thing to do.
So, it's time for my favourite hobby.
Sleeping...
- Later -
Why do people hate letting me sleep?
Trying to hold my glare in a stare at Rika as she smirks slightly.
"Someone doesn't like being woken up... you realise that you've been sleeping for almost twelve hours right?" she asks as I look out the window, seeing the moon.
"If you hadn't woken me up I could sleep for twelve more. Something I can help you with?" I ask in annoyance getting a laugh from her.
"I wanted to speak with you, and I want something from you." she admits as she walks forwards sitting on the edge of my bed.
"...didn't I lock my door?" I ask myself with a frown.
"You did, but it's a pretty basic lock, getting in wasn't hard." she admits. "So... you and Shizuka?" she asks with a light glare.
"She started it." I respond immediately.
"...because she got it into her head that she owed it to you. If you take advantage of her I'll kill you, and I'll make it look like an accident." she says coldly making me laugh.
"You'll try, and it'll cost you your life." I respond immediately making her scowl. "You're deluding yourself if you think you can threaten me, I've dealt with far more dangerous people that you. Besides, I'm not taking advantage of her, she's initiated everything we have done."
"Just know I'll be watching you." she says with a frown at my complete lack of fear. "Now... onto what I want from you." she says after a moment.
"Brave of you to start with the threat and then ask for something, not exactly giving me a reason to give you anything." I say making her roll her eyes.
"Somehow I don't think you'll be turning me down." she says as she pulls her black combat suit top off, revealing the white sports bra beneath it. "I've had a stressful few days, and sex is the best stress relief I know. I can't go to a bar, and you're the only dick on this ship. So that's my 'request'. I want you to fuck me till I forget how shitty everything is." she says bluntly as she undoes her bra and tosses it away revealing her tanned breasts, she's not massive, not by this worlds standards, but the smaller size doesn't take away from her charm as she shimmies out of her combat suit, pulling her plain panties down with it. "Is that going to be a problem?" she asks standing at the edge of my bed.
"Nah, I think I can indulge you..." I say with a smirk as I pull the quilts off, making her look down mildly impressed.
"Huh, I thought Shizuka was exaggerating. Let's get this over with, and don't get arrogant, you are literally the only dick not attached to a corpse, I didn't have much to choose from." she mutters as she mounts me, lowering her tight pussy down onto my exposed shaft in a single movement.
Maybe it's how active she is, but she's one of the tightest humans I've had... still, I'm not going to lose to a regular human. I might not be able to use my full magic set but I can the subtle ones, Touch of Pleasure and Enhance Pleasure can both be mistaken for me just being really good in bed, it's cheat mode essentially.
Gripping her hips I thrust up into her making her eyes widen at the sudden sensations, I'm sure there are people better than me in bed, but Eromancy laughs in the face of their skill.
As she falls forwards, I flip us over placing her beneath me as I speed up, she wants to be fucked till she forgets? I can do that.
She's moaning so loud that there's no way the rest of the Yacht can't hear us... but that's not my problem.
Pulling her legs up to my shoulders I smirk down at her as she clutches the bedsheets, she wasn't expecting it to feel this good, but then how could she? Eromancy defies common logic after all.
- Shizuka -
...Dammit Rika. She'd been trying to get her mind away from her... intimate encounter with Kuro, but the sounds of Rika's moans weren't helping
'She was just going to talk with him'
Yeah right, that didn't sound like talking... she was worried that Rika would cause trouble threatening Kuro, instead it sounded like she was getting the fucking of her life.
She wasn't new to hearing Rika getting fucked, but it wasn't usually this loud... she was a hypocrite, warning Shizuka not to let Kuro take advantage of her then jumping into his bed...
Was it really that bad if she joined Kuro in bed? She could use some comfort, and really who was left to judge her? It's not like she had a job to lose any more. She was so worried about people finding out... and then the world ended.
What was the harm in it any more? She wanted to forget all the horrible things happening... moving her hands down her body, she bit her lip.
Pleasure was a good way of forgetting her troubles...
- Saya -
Covering her head with her pillow she scowled. Kuro was irresponsible and arrogant, was he even considering pregnancies with his actions or was he just busy building his harem of sluts.
Typical idiot, so focused on things like pleasure he wasn't even thinking about the future or the consequences of his actions.
And that was the idiot that was leading this group, and no one but her saw a problem with that?
Still, maybe she'd keep her opinion to herself, his glare earlier scared her more than she wanted to admit, idiots are prone to impulsive actions... and she didn't want him to decide to... discipline her because she spoke up against him.
Too many people were against her here... and she wasn't suited for fighting if things turned... unpleasant.
- Yuriko -
Fingering herself desperately she moaned into her pillow, Saya had insisted on getting her own room after the.. incident this morning, and she couldn't bring herself to argue.
At least with Kuro so clearly occupied she didn't have to worry about him attacking Saya tonight...
She was getting desperate, she seemed so horny all the time but no matter how she tried she just couldn't reach orgasm, her fingers just weren't doing the trick...
Years of being fucked by her husbands big dick had ruined her, masturbating just didn't do the job any more. But there weren't any toys around here...
She needed to cum desperately, if she got horny enough she was afraid she'd do something... stupid. There was only one dick around here after all.
- Saeko -
Leaning against the wall, she peaked through the slightly open door as she played with herself, watching Kuro rail the new woman into the bed ruthlessly, her moans filling the hall.
Kuro was clearly inhuman, but she didn't care. He was strong and he wouldn't judge her for her... issues, that was mattered. A killer like him would understand a sadist like her.
Covering her mouth to stop her own moans from joining the sounds echoing through the corridors she froze as she made eye contact with Kuro as he looked over his shoulder at her, seeing him give her a slight wave before he spun himself around, placing the barely conscious woman in his lap as he made her ride him, keeping eye contact with her.
As he continued fucking the woman, he kept his eyes locked on her...
Somehow knowing what he wanted, she undid her shirt, pulling her bra up and letting her breasts hang free as she opened the door just a bit more. The woman was faced away from her so only Kuro could see her as she undid her skirt, letting it drop to the ground, playing with herself in full view of Kuro, her heart pounding as his eyes roamed over her.
As he watched her, she fingered herself frantically, approaching her climax at a incredible rate, far faster than she'd ever experienced before...
As she hit the climax, she dropped to her knees, desperately covering her mouth as she moaned, not wanting to attract the woman's attention, fortunately the woman was far too distracted with her own pleasure to notice the slight whimpers escaping her.
Quickly fixing her clothes, she got up and fled, not wanting to see the look on Kuro's face...
- Kuro -
This place is full of perverts.
Saeko, Yuriko, Shizuka and Miku are all masturbating and Kawamoto is going down on Taniuchi. Ehh, it works for me anyway, the spirits see all.. and that means I see all.
Reaching up and groping Rika's breasts she moans into my mouth, on her fourth or fifth climax, I'd say I kept my end of the deal up, she sure as fuck isn't thinking about the apocalypse now.
- Rika -
"A-are you close?" she asked, biting her lip. "We... can't risk you knocking me up, let me know when you're gonna.. cum."
"Yeah, yeah... I will." he said, amusement colouring his tone, she couldn't blame him... she'd massively underestimated him. She'd looked at his age and assumed he'd be mostly inexperienced, he was absolutely not...
She wasn't inexperienced either, but none of her former lovers or one night stands came close to him, each touch sent jolts of pleasure through her body, it was embarrassing to be so lost to the constant pleasure while he just seemed mildly amused, having no trouble keeping up.
As his fingers skillfully toyed with her nipples she came again, tightening down on the invading shaft as she let out another moan, feeling herself blush as she realised how noisy she was being, she'd be surprised if anyone on the ship wasn't aware of what she was doing.
"H-how... are you still going?" she asked him, making him smirk at her. She knew she was tight, she certainly kept herself in shape after all, she didn't know how long they had been going but she was sure he should have finished already.
"I'll cum when I'm good and ready, but I suppose I can go easy on you... you might want to get off me if you don't want me to cum inside." he said with a shrug as her eyes widened, feeling him start to twitch inside her.
Pulling herself off him with some difficulty, she dropped to her knees in front of him just as he finally came, his hot seed bursting over her face, some sneaking into her mouth.
As she unintentionally swallowed his cum, her eyes widened at the taste, that was definitely chocolate... why did he taste like chocolate?
As she licked some more of her lips she failed to notice him moving, her attention was quickly dragged back to the present as he grabbed her, tossing her onto the bed as he mounted her again, thrusting into her in a single movement.
"You didn't think I'd be done after one go... did you?" he asked in amusement, railing into her with little mercy as he quickly forced her to climax again. "Hope you don't need much sleep..."
- Next Morning -
As she headed back to her room she froze looking into Shizuka's judging eyes...
Her clear limp probably wasn't helping, and she still felt his seed on her body even after her shower, she was pretty sure it was subconscious but it was making her feel... exposed.
She'd passed out sometime between his fourth and fifth load, but that hadn't stopped him. She could only hope she wasn't pregnant, even before she'd passed out she'd been too lost in her seemingly non-stop climaxes to care as he creampied her, and she'd awoken with his seed leaking from her every hole.
She should have been angry, but as he woke up and immediately jumped her again she couldn't bring herself to stop him.
She'd wanted to forget her troubles, and he'd certainly achieved that much.
"...Did you have fun?" Shizuka asked making her wince at the slightly bitter tone under Shizuka's usual carefree voice.
- Kuro -
I need to start making preparations for my return to DxD, not least of which is this...
Standing back in my throne room, I look over all the gathered people, getting ready to send them all 'home', I don't want to know what happens if I start DxD again without sending Yasaka back considering that she's linked to the ley-lines in Kyoto.
"Right, everybody ready? I'll send you all back first then I'll be joining you all soon... Yasaka... why are my succubi behind you?" I ask with a slight frown.
"...It's a long story but I'm the new Succubi Queen. I was hoping I could take them back with me... don't worry they'll still be yours, after all, I am as well." she explained with a slight hesitation.
"What did you... you know what? I don't want to know, fine. I'll need to be back in Kyoto but I can summon them to you later." I say with a sigh... watching the succubi horde all light up.
If Yasaka wants an actual horde of sex-obsessed demons in her home she can, I only care about Nymria and Maelys and those two can stay in my castle in Kuoh. I almost pity the men and women of Kyoto, the Succubi are seemingly insatiable after all.
"We're ready, Kuro. So, we'll go first." Sona says calmly making me smile.
"See you soon then." I say undoing the summon and sending her and Serafall and Sona's Peerage back, Rias goes next, Ravel after her, and then Raynare and Arthur before I finally send Yasaka and Kunou home.
And that's that done...
Time to head back to the apocalypse.
- Later -
So... My spirits noticed something unusual last night.
That being a decently sized military operation setting up right here in the city, they've cleared out a building to use as a base, set up defences... and most worryingly set up surveillance, all of which is aimed at my Yacht.
The Umbrella logo on their uniform tells me all I need to know about who sent them, but it doesn't explain why they are here. What does the Umbrella Corporation want with me?
For now, I'll act like I don't know they are there... but I need to prepare to wipe them out if they get aggressive, I have most of the special undead around here under my thrall so if they try anything I can make them have a really bad day.
The main reason I haven't yet is simple, Ada Wong is with them. She's a spy, an infiltrator... which means if we are their target then she'll be trying to join us sooner or later.
And then I can interrogate her, I want to know why they are here after all. Alternatively I just kill them and summon their souls and interrogate them that way, but the only one whose name I know is Ada and I need a name to summon their departed spirits. Their uniforms have code-names and they aren't calling each other by their real names, very professional this lot. I'd need to be there to use Observe, but really... they aren't a threat.
If they attack the Horde will 'be attracted' to their location, and they'll be torn apart by the special zombies I have waiting. Fighting a Necromancer in a zombie apocalypse is just generally a bad idea after all.
Honestly, I think it might be better to just head back to DxD now before I start whatever this plot concerning Resident Evil and Umbrella is...
Strength wise, I think I'm ready for Kokabiel's attack. Rias and Sona are both stronger than their canon counterparts, and I have enough allies that I'm not concerned about a fallen angel army.
So... that's the plan? Back to DxD to finish everything there, then to Overlord to kill Goldo and destroy the Empire, taking out the Second Overlord along the way, and then finally back here to deal with Umbrella.
All the loose ends are pissing me off, and the more I move forwards the more loose ends I'll make. Better to deal with them quickly before they overwhelm me. Besides, I'm still weaker than I should be, and I will stay weaker until Valper is dead. I don't trust the game not to pull some major boss encounter out of it's ass, so I think staying at me strongest is the logical thing to do.
And as weird as it sounds... I miss Ophis. Despite her power level she's kinda like a cute pet that follows you around wanting treats and head-pats all the times.
Fuck it, time to head back.
Season Two here I come.
Teleporting back to my castle I have one important question...
What the fuck was I doing here?
- Later -
...I got lost in my own castle.
Which is just embarrassing, but it's a unfortunate side effect of world jumping, I have worked some things out though...
One, it's Thursday night. I have school in the morning.
Two, I was just starting my Alchemist Business. I need to buy a Alchemist building and some Alchemists to take over the production for that.
Three, I had just done the whole business with Yasaka, helping with the alliance between the devils and the youkai.
This is the downside of leaving before I am finished with a world, it leaves holes in my memory over what was going on.
"My Lord... you have a visitor." Grayfia says professionally, oh right, she's my maid full time now...
"Fine, show them in." I say with a sigh, sitting at my desk in my office... which I can't remember ever actually using before now. Normally I take my meetings in the meeting room after all, but it's got way too many seats.
As she leaves I lean back in thought. I need Valper dead asap, but that means finding the fucker first. Well, that's what my spirits are for. He has to be either in Kuoh somewhere or nearby since he is with Kokabiel and they're preparing for the invasion.
I've sent them out to scour the city for him, if they don't find him they'll move out further and continue the search, leaving no stone unturned.
As Grayfia returns I pause for a moment, wondering why Sirzechs was a man again, before I calm down. Zeoticus is a far smaller threat in comparison to his daughter who used to be his son.
"Lord Gremory? I can't say I was expecting you... what can I do for you?" I ask politely, keeping my guard up. I am fucking his wife after all, even if he knows I doubt he's particularly happy with me.
As he sits in the chair opposite my desk, he sighs gesturing for Grayfia to leave.
"...I don't like you. Let me just get that out of the way, you aren't even a Devil but you've made yourself... indispensable to our society. Even if I could get rid of you I'd just doom myself and weaken my race." he says making my lips twitch.
"...Is there a point to this? I don't particularly care what you think of me in truth, you're feelings about me are basically irrelevant." I say with a shrug, if he isn't going to be polite I'm not going to be either.
"There is. I may not like you but I can understand the importance of keeping you in our society, and I have an offer. I'll be blunt, I want to arrange a marriage between you and Rias. With how... irreplaceable you have made yourself it's essential that you are tied to the Devil Race, especially with the other races sniffing around you. If you accept, you can have Venelana as a mistress, " he says bluntly.
"...didn't I just get Rias out of an arranged marriage? Have you actually discussed this with her or are you just arranging it without her knowledge again?" I ask making him wince slightly.
"I'm sure she would understand the necessity." he says stubbornly making my lips twitch.
"And Venelana? Have you told her that she's been used as a incentive?" I ask making him scowl.
"...it was her idea." he admits as I try to hold in my smirk. His wife wants him to give her away to another man permanently? That must sting.
"I'll agree, but only if Rias does as well. Leave me with it for now, I'll speak to her tomorrow. If she agrees I'll have Grayfia tell you." I say after a moment. Marrying Rias isn't exactly a bad thing, she's at 100 Obedience and Affection after all, there's no doubt over which of us will be wearing the trousers in that marriage.
"..that doesn't seem necessary, but if you insist. I'd like to see you as little as possible anyway, send Grayfia with Rias's answer." he says getting up and leaving without another word.
Yeah, he definitely isn't a fan. Somehow I think I'll live.
Still... marrying Rias. Interesting.
- Next Morning -
School is as dull as ever, but at least Asia is enjoying herself. How she manages to enjoy the droning of out balding teacher I don't know, but she keeps focused through the class never letting her attention waver.
Weird girl.
My Second Form is trying to get rid of that annoying EXP Drain at the moment so I can't attend school with it, getting rid of the EXP Drain is more important than skipping class.
As class finishes I tell Asia that I have some things to do before I go home, leaving her with her friends as I head to the Occult Research Clubhouse, as I enter Kiba scowls at me, storming deeper into the building without a word.
At least he isn't stupid enough to attack me outright. Excalibur is nice and safe in my armoury in the Tower, far away from him... Still, it might be worth bringing it here for when the exorcists arrive here. Could be a good bargaining chip, I'll have to think about that.
Or it might be worth finding Freed early and grabbing the swords before they get here, he'll be where Valper is probably so I'm already looking for his hiding place.
"Kuro! I wasn't expecting you so soon, what can I do for you?" Rias asks as Akeno brings me some tea, Shuri is staying with Akeno for now, might as well let them catch up on the lost years.
"There's two things I wanted to talk about with you, first... Akeno is pregnant." I say bluntly making them both freeze in place. "Yeah... my bad, turns out my Nekoshou form is very, very fertile and I wasn't using magic to lower my fertility..." I admit with a shrug.
"I... I'm going to be a mother?" Akeno asks looking shocked as Rias freezes, looking just as shocked.
"Yes, is that a good thing or a bad thing?" I ask after a moment.
"I... It's... a good thing, an unexpected one, but it's definitely a good thing." she says after a moment, her hand resting on her stomach as a small smile starts to grow on her face. "I'm going to be a mother..." she says to herself, I can see her going over it in her head as her smile slow grows.
"Congratulations!" Rias shouts, jumping up and wrapping Akeno in a tight hug as I wait for them to be done as they devolve into squeals and whispers, I don't understand women.
Still, neither seem angry and I'll take that as a win.
A few minutes pass before they even seem to remember that I am still here, enjoying my tea.
"Sorry Kuro, you said there were two thing you wanted to discuss?" Rias says as she calms down, taking her seat again as Akeno rushes off to tell her mother.
"Yeah, your father visited me last night... to tell me that he wants to arrange another marriage for you." I say watching her face drop before red lightning starts to leave her body, her powers escaping her as she disintegrates a few pieces of furniture. "To me, to be exact." I continue making her freeze.
"I... what?" she starts.
"He wants to make a arranged marriage between us to tie me to the devil race, I've agreed but only if you also agree, I did just get you out of a unwanted arranged marriage after all, and while I can technically fight myself my Second Form only has a third of my power so it'd be a bit one-sided." I say with a shrug.
"I... you want to marry me?" she mumbles, going increasingly red.
"I realise a arranged marriage isn't exactly... romantic, and it was your mothers idea, but I have to admit... it's growing on me. I do love you after all, still it's up to you, I didn't free you from Riser to steal your freedom away anyway.." I say casually, being caught off guard as she leaps over the table between us, wrapping me in a tight hug.
"Yes! Of course I want to marry you." she says as I wrap my arms around her with a smile. "I didn't think you'd ever want to marry... it didn't think it was something you cared about." she mumbles making me laugh slightly.
"It's not really, but I can make an exception, if the right girl is involved." I say making her giggle slightly.
"...I think I'm still going to disintegrate my father for trying to arrange another marriage, but I'll be grateful to him as I do it." she mumbles making me laugh.
"I'm sure he'll appreciate that as you turn him to dust." I reply in amusement. "Oh right, should probably mention that your mother is becoming my mistress, again it was her idea." I say as Rias looks at me for a moment, amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I wasn't expecting you to lose your Harem, oh powerful conqueror of worlds, and I can't say I'm surprised at mothers actions... she seems happier with you than I can ever remember her being with father." she admits, pausing as I kiss her.
"Well it might not be quite official just yet, I need to send word to your father after all, but I'm looking forwards to a long life with you, fiancée." I say as she beams at me, kissing me again.
Marrying Rias won't be bad at all...
- Daily life in the Multiverse – Unfortunate Discoveries -
"Issei's... dead?" she asked, her heart pounding. "I... I'm so sorry for you loss, Mrs Hyoudou. What... what happened?" she asked, frowning deeply.
She just wanted to meet her old friend, Lady Gabriel had given her permission to go on ahead while she made arrangements for them to make contact with the Necromancer, they couldn't just trespass in Devil Territory after all.
"He just... vanished one day, he wasn't the only one, three boys vanished all of them... perverts. Maybe it was a girl with a grudge, maybe they perved on the wrong person, but none of their bodies where ever found." Miki said sadly, Irina paused... there was something Miki wasn't telling her, she was an exorcist after all... she could read people quite well...
But she wasn't going to interrogate the grieving mother.
Just vanished?
That sounded... supernatural. Something targetting perverts? She doubted it was the devils, why would the sinful creatures bother attacking perverts? Perversion was practically a cultural thing for them. The Fallen weren't any different...
Maybe a female Stray Devil? If it killed some humans and then got killed itself that would explain why the killings stopped without explanation. She'd have to investigate...
She wouldn't let Issei's death go unavenged.
She wished she could say he was in a better place with her God in heaven... but she doubted it, only Christian Souls went to Heaven, Issei was probably with the Shinto Gods, Izanami to be exact.
But perhaps his soul could be saved? She could remember hearing that the Necromancer had resurrected the daughter of the Youkai Leader, and while Resurrection was... heretical, maybe it was fine if it didn't involve Christian souls?
She'd have to ask Lady Gabriel.
