Deal with the Devil: A High School DxD RP

Siegfried Einhardt

---

Siegfried's dissatisfaction with being summoned in the middle of one of his few momemts of "leisure" was hardly hidden in despite of him choosing to remain silent after noticing the seriousness of the situation, restraining himself to the point that his flames occasionaly flickered around his body as a reaction to his mental state. It didn't help that he felt the familiar scent of a pure devil that wasn't Tsumiki lingering in the room, letting clear that he didn't call them for no special reason and most certainly they had received a very specific request from a very dangerous client - and most certainly one that wouldn't pay anything even after they succeed.

"Very well, Grimmond. I'll deal with the dog for you." He said in a surprisingly good mannered way as he made his way towards the door of the clubroom, seemingly ignoring Argos as he maintained his gaze focused on Tsumiki. "But that's only because I need to blow off some steam and this puppy seems like the perfect target, got it? Next time you do something as suicidal as forcibly summoning me I'll trash you instead." He affirmed in a nonchalant tone that denoted how truly pissed the Dragon was, as it was clearly more serious than his usual uncaring threats.

"And you, Vampire..." He turned to Argos, his slitted crimson eyes emitting a dangerous gleam as he voiced a single advice/order before making his way out of the room: "Don't get in my way."

---

It didn't take long for Siegfried to actually detect some traces of the wolfsman's presence, as his enhanced senses were especially sensitive to the smell of something so animalistic in the middle of a human city. Unfortunately, that didn't really help him since the smell seemed to come from the outskirts of the town - what annoyed him greatly, since he ended up having to walk all the way to the relatively deserted area filled with abandoned warehouses that the tracking guided him towards. "Oe, Vampire... Can't you feel his the doggies presence or something? I've lost the track after reaching this place." The Dragon looked back to search for his partner for the first time since leaving the clubroom, presuming that he followed him all the way towards the deserted area. Even if he did feel annoyed at having to babysit the vampire, he presumed that he at least had the skills to help him with locating the wolfman and ignoring his utility wouldn't bring him any advantage anyway.

(Quick post cause I'll be out for most of the day and needed to post before the story started moving.)

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

"For God's sake, Jake, just log out already. The shutdown is just a few minutes away, it's not like you're freaking abandoning me." A loud voice echoed by one of the hallways of mountain fort that acted as a guild hall for the newly-formed guild Apocalypse Now as two figures traversed it towards the main hall.

"You sure? I mean, I promised that at least I would be here with you for the shutdown. I know it's important for you, Artie." The taller of the figures, a humongous demon with goat-like characteristics and crow wings - presumably Jake, although his nickname was displayed as "KingSabbat" - seemed to be sorry about something, his voice clearly displaying some nervousness in despite of how his goat-like head maintained the same indifferent expression as always while he talked - a funny result of YGGDRASIL lacking the technology necessary for capturing and reproducing facial expressions.

"Chill down, mate, it's not like you're going to lose something. Just go help Linda with whatever she wants without using me as an excuse for slacking off. I don't want her glaring daggers at me in the commemorative dinner, her killing intent is away too much for my fragile mind!" The shorter figure seemed to be pretty amused by his companion's nervousness, with chuckles escaping from his character's deadpan-ish face as he confirmed that he didn't need his friend's company for the closing of the server.

"Kay then. Just don't get late for dinner. Linda has managed to get some fresh vegetables and she'll be really pissed if she loses the chance of impressing you with her "magnificent cooking skills"." The goatman logged out amidst a suspicious fit of laughter, leaving the white haired devil alone in the hallway.

"She's seriously going to cook..?" The humanoid devil - whose nickname was FirstbornCain - couldn't ignore the sudden chill that managed to find its way up his spine in despite of YGGDRASIL's lack of sensors for this kind of thing as he imagined how terrifyingly dangerous the dinner organized by his guildmates to say goodbye to the game would be. Linda's cooking skills were famous amongst their small guild for their lethality after all, with some of the members going as far as saying that they were the main reason for the pitiful amount of real life reunions the guild made in despite of all of its members living in the same district - quite the dangerous thing to say when considering how Linda loved to "randomly" throw her character's beloved artifact-class axes around and "accidentally" hit people who gossiped about her.

He quickly dismissed the issue of having to taste his friend's awful cooking from his head right in the next second though, as he managed to once more reach the richly (and chaotically) decorated hall of the mountain fort - A result of the sudden urge to show off their riches that some players felt due to the imminent closure of the server (quite the positive aspect of the server closure, as he managed to take a look at various rare furniture items and exotic equips whose view would otherwise be reserved to those closer to their respective owners). In the end, he didn't bother with searching for players he knew in the hall - after all he imagined the few players that remained to watch the last moments of the game either already had someone with them or weren't interested in using their last minutes in YGGDRASIL talking with others - instead choosing to use his time to check the multitude of rare and exotic items as he waited for the countdown for the server closure, hoping to at least find some new, unknown by most stuff to amuse him until the server's closing.

Behind the Avatar
Name: Arthur Weiss
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Bio: Arthur Weiss is - or rather, was - without a hint of doubt what your average Joe would call the example of how lucky an human being can be: Born in a rich, influential family as the loved youngest son and being naturally gifted in both, looks and personality, Arthur always had everything that he asked for since a young age, living a luxurious life and yet having loving parents and a caring elder brother, he wasn't far from living a perfect life... That is, until his thirteenth birthday - the moment when the brilliant boy who loved life started to live isolated from the rest of the world. It isn't hard for someone to infer what exactly wrecked the mentality of the poor boy, as the event was quite the bombastic new and was broadcasted to the whole world for quite a while, making the headlines for quite a few weeks: in the day of his son's birthday, the CEO of one of the biggest technology organizations in the world and his wife died due to his plane facing a mechanical failure. Even if Arthur had lived a slightly less satisfactory life, the impact of this news would still be enough to traumatize the boy for the rest of his life, and the fact that he didn't made it even worse: The favoured child who always received all of his family's affection simply couldn't handle the fact that his parents died, completely isolating himself in a shell of self blame - Caused by the fact that they took the flight to meet him for his birthday - and depression, using his room to hide himself from the rest of the world and refusing to see anyone but his older brother for more than a year after this event, until he finally found something that managed to free the boy from his self made prison: YGGDRASIL.

It was his brother that first convinced him to play the game, arguing that he should at least experience the game - made by the company to which his father dedicated part of his life - once, a desperate attempt of making the boy once more socialize with people - an attempt that immediately brought favorable results. While Arthur still insisted in choosing a Heteromorphic race - known to be hated by most and prone to having players with a certain anti-social behaviour - the boy immediately fell in love with the game as soon as he started to play, deeply valuing the sense of freedom brought by the vast fantasy world of the game and turning into an avid player of YGGDRASIL - after all, his NEET lifestyle gave him plenty of time to expend in the game.

For the following years, Arthur managed to gather quite the reputation in the game due to his tendency of causing chaos amongst other players as a way of moving the game, loving to play the role of a villainous Devil who ruled over the legions of hell and using this role as a justification to invade multiple guild bases and wreck havoc in the servers together with his guildmates - entitled as the Diabolic Legion. He even gradually started to recover his social life and once more try to live as an productive member of society due the influence brought to him by the game, going as far as working for his brother for a while and resuming his studies - fact that deeply impacted his playing time, as he started to regulate his playing time in a better way. By the time of the closing of the server, Arthur was already nothing more than a casual player, passing long spans of time without logging in and hardly having the time to plan grand raids to other guilds and things of the genre, and mostly entered to reminisce about the good old times - fact that unknowingly forced him to partake in the biggest adventure of his life, as he logged in the game before the update to sort the items left in his guild and confraternize for a bit, playing around until the very end of the game... And start of a new reality.

The Avatar

Extra

Name: Devil King of Disaster, Cain Astaroth (Nickname: FirstbornCain)
Appearance: Cain was mostly described as a lean man of slightly above average height and beautiful, androgynous appearance and an extremely pale complexion that naturally passes the impression of fragility and delicacy - almost like a noble who never had to work for his whole life. He has blue colored irises and oddly colored sclera, with the right one being normal and the left one being black colored, befitting his identity as a Demon, and his eyes seen to be somehow droopy, naturally passing the impression of listlessness. His hair is white colored and excessively long, reaching as far as his ankles and yet not interfering with his movement - almost as if even his own hair purposefully avoids bothering him - and he has a single horn protruding from the right side of his head.
Race: Devil (Heteromorphic)
Gender: Male
Character Level: 100
Alignment: -250 (Evil)
Racial Class:
Imp(10)
Arch Devil(10)
Devil King(5)
Other(25)
Job Class:
World Disaster(5)
Prince of Darkness(10)
Forbidden Arts User(5)
Etc (30)
Fighting Style: Cain is well known for his fighting style that revolves around spawning multiple high tiered magic in a continuous way, using overwhelming power to turn his enemies into dust in seconds, overcoming any attempt of defense or evasion through the use of endless spell barrages while avoiding any close contact with his targets. Even in the eventual case of having to directly confront his opponents he's known to avoid directly fighting at close ranges, often making use of his NPCs and summons to overpower enemies while he retreats towards a safer area - preferentially a place from where he can bombard his targets with highly destructive spells.

Strengths: Being fully focused on offensive magic and being one of the few players who managed to attain the class World Disaster - said to be amongst, if not in the top, the strongest magic classes - Cain naturally has an absurd offensive power, easily ranking amongst the top of YGGDRASIL in DPS. Add that to his unusually high MP? equally broken MP regen and reduced casting time and you'll get an ridiculously powerful mage who isn't short of being a walking nuclear weapon, able to repeatedly spam high tiered magic by using the combination of his own overwhelming MP and the ability of siphoning MP from his allies to unleash chaos on the battlefield, instantly changing tides as soon as he enters the battle.

Cain's main strength though, lies in his unique racial abilities, ranging from strengthening his demonic followers considerably when present in the battlefield and directly reducing his enemies stats through the use of skills to practically doubling his stats through the sacrifice of his subordinates - abilities acquired from his racial advancement to Devil King, a rarely seen racial class that is acquired through a special chain of quests and, in despite of being considerably overpowered, is rarely seem in the game due to requiring the completion of an specific quest line considered to have an absurd difficulty, ridiculous requirements in both, time and effort, unfair restriction in player number and ridiculously low rewards, making it fairly unpopular amongst the game's community and mostly ignored by those who could complete it - as well as the other perks of his race, such as a high resistance against magic, curse or charm based skills, ridiculously high MP and abnormally fast MP regen.

Weaknesses: While Cain is undoubtedly an overpowered monster when it comes to damage dealing and quick casting, his other abilities are at most mediocre, with most of his stats not relationed to magic being pitiful even when compared to your average pure mage build. As such, he naturally lacks any advantage when it comes to mobility, endurance, defense and pretty much any form of attack that isn't magic related, being completely useless when unable to use magic. Even when using magic Cain seems to lack any defensive spells above the 9th tier, mostly relying on mid levelled barrier spells that he can continuously maintain due to his outrageous MP regen - spells that can easily be shattered by high leveled players and could at most act as a last, desperate minor protection in case of someone managing to break through the protection of his subordinates and directly attack him - making him extremely weak against highly mobile, offense focused opponents.

As a secondary weakness, it's valid to mention that - due to his class - human races passively have a sense of dread towards him, instinctively recognizing him as an enemy of humanity and being hostile against him - fact that made him unable to complete a fair deal of quests in the game, as human NPCs instantly turned hostile when he appeared.
Equipment Worthy of Note:
Seal of Cain: A guild item created through the combined efforts of Cain and two guild mates who shared his goal of moving the game by themselves, this amulet-shaped item craved by 12 jewels replicates a well known world item through the use of enchanted tenth tier spells to instantly summon an humongous army of Demons and Devils to unleash hell upon his enemies - a function that they planned to use to replicate a Demonic Invasion to move their server. While most of the summoned being are fairly weak, with the strongest troops being around 80 in level, this item seems to be extremely compatible with Cain, as he can stack quite the overwhelming amount of boosts from being surrounded by subordinated Demons.
This item is also the main item used to manage his guild's guildhall - a perk of being one of the 3 leaders - being able to freely teleport the user through the guild hall and manage permissions, NPCs, the treasury and other minor details.

Staff of Disaster: A divine tier weapon, the Staff of Disaster is a rare drop from an specific event boss, said to have belonged to a legendary magician. Other than considerably boosting the offensive might of his magic, this item has the ability of, four times in a day, imbue a spell with the special characteristic of being able to ignore any kind of resistance or defensive skill used by his enemies - directly dealing damage that is held back solely by raw defense.

Abilities Worthy of Note:
Grand Catastrophe: As one of the few players in the world who managed to acquire and maintain the world disaster class while slaughtering others with the same class to level it up until reaching the fifth and last class level, Cain naturally gained access to this unique ultimate spell that surpass even super tiered spells in power at the cost of an absurd amount of mana (About 40% of his total mana in Cain's case).
Champion of disaster: A passive exclusive to those who mastered the World Disaster class, this ability makes any direct offensive magic spell casted by the user 10% stronger while taking the same amount of MP.
Devil's Whisper: One of his basic racial abilities, this skill acts in the form of the capacity of making lesser beings feel compelled to obey his orders and accept anything he talks about as truth, subduing them and making them his subordinates after some time.
Devil King's Aura: One of the three active racial abilities acquired by those who followed the path of a devil king, this unique skill gives the use the ability of generating an intimidating aura that instantly brings fear to the heart of any being that stands in their way, lowering their power and forcing them to submit - Thing that was shown in the form of an advanced form of the fear debuff that considerably lowers the stats of enemies around the devil king and made NPCs under the player level avoid him, stopping the gathering of needless aggro - and raises the morale of those under him - applying a considerable buff in stats to any subordinated devil or demon around the devil king.
As a secondary effect, this aura makes demons and devils feel an unnatural urge to follow Cain, instantly forcing demons and devils under level 50 to follow him and making the process of recruiting stronger demons and devils considerably easier.
Devilish Right of the King: One of the three active racial abilities acquired by those who followed the path of a devil king, this unique skill gives the Devil King the characteristic of continuously siphoning a small amount MP and HP from those recognised as his subordinates as long as they're inside a range of 10 meters as well as the ability of instantly taking all the MP or HP of a chosen subordinate for himself up to 4 times a day.
Tax of the Devil: One of the three active racial abilities acquired by those who followed the path of a devil king, this unique skill gives the Devil King the ability of, once a day, chose to sacrifice one of his willing subordinates and take bonus equal to all of their stats for the span of a single minute. While this ability is far from being overpowered when used in lower leveled beings, when used in beings with a level equal to the user it can pretty much act as a balance breaker - a terrifyingly broken ability that can only be described as a cheat.
How a normal human would view me:
Due to his race's specifics, any human who contacts him has a natural sense of fear and hostility towards him, instinctively recognizing him as the natural enemy of humanity.

@IceHeart The necessary changes are already made, just so you know. The exact changelog as well as a small explanation about the skill are detailed in my precious post (Guessing you didn't notice it) so tell me if something else needs to be changed.

An Isekai RP in the one piece world? Count me in.
That is, unless you want to pull something like "God of Soul System", with some random ass powers who got nothing to do with the setting.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

@IceHeart The first part was actually a mistake I made and didn't notice after posting, since it was supposed to be "repeteadly spam high tiered magic" - I mean, I'm pretty sure most of the super tiered spells wouldn't even be suitable for barrage casting anyway. I'd actually like to thank you for pointing it, as I nost certainly wouldn't notice it otherwise. As for the skill, It's actually restricted to a relatively small area (10x10m radius, though a previous typo made it 100. I'm pretty sure I corrected it a few days ago.) and the siphoning is supposed to be fairly weak, just giving him a small boost in recovery without completely draining his low-level (by YGGDRASIL standards at least) subordinates.

Aleister

Name: Aleister Einhardt
Nickname: N/A
Age: ??? (Looks to be around the early twenties)
Species: Half Breed (Baphomet/Elder Devil)
Description:
Aleister would normally be described as quite the handsome young man, with a long white hair and azure blue eyes as well as an overall pleasant-to-the-eyes complexion, he would undoubtedly be popular amongst both of his parents species if not by a single fact: Due to his mixed heritage, he has quite the exotic characteristics even amongst the oddball-ish group that are the demi-humans, having a strange mix of his parent species characteristics. To start with, while he has a normal right eye his left eye has black sclera - Like a devil - his pointy ears and the single horn protruding from his head as well as the leathery wing on right side of his back are undoubtedly of devilish origin - quite the strange view when considering his palid skin - that being said, his fang-like canine teeth, claw-like fingers and pitch black feathered left wing are certainly of baphomet origin, clearly contrasting with the devilish characteristics previously mentioned. Add that to the fact that he lacks a tail and doesn't seem to have the goat-like legs of a baphomet and you have the reason for Aleister being considered quite the oddball by the demi-human community.

Personality:
When working as an agent, Aleister seems like an overall stern - even to the point of looking anti-social - person, seemingly living for his job and hardly demonstrating any emotion when doing so, he naturally pass a professional - almost cold - impression - that would easily be broken by how he openly shows some small, and frequently comic, reactions according to the situation of the job, merely avoiding being seem as a way of maintaining his facade as a cold and stern individual.

Inwardly though, Aleister seems to be quite the caring - deeply worrying about those around him - and benevolent individual, showing a natural tendency towards gentleness and hardly being as cold as his usual attitude demonstrates - with that merely being a result of the timidity he developed as a child added to the need of maintaining some face as an M.O.N agent. He is seemingly a lover of cute things and has a natural predisposition towards helping others, despising the use of violence for selfish goals to an abnormal extent and naturally loving peace. He seems to value the bonds he made through his life to an abnormal extent - seemingly regarding the lifes of his loved ones as more valuable than his own - and seems to be extremely loyal to his oaths, dedicating his life to the creation of a society where demi-humans can live in harmony with the humans.
Occupation: M.O.N Agent (Sniper)
History:
• Past: TBR
• Current: After a few years working as a M.O.N agent, Aleister has recently been relocated to a new neighborhood due to the sudden need of a new influx of agents due to the gradual expansion of the cultural exchange program. He's currently still adaptating to the new place and didn't even finish moving his things to the new apartament that was assigned to him.

@Daemanis Here is my mostly done character. I've ended up choosing to hide his past though... Well, nothing that will be to much of a bother since I've added his current circumstances anyway.

From what I know about harems, romance is rarely a thing within them anyway.

But this is a risk I am willing to take.
