4 - Finishing his objectives.

Its been almost an year since Riser stated living in human world.

Even though he lost most of his memoires of past due to the side effects of Sephiroth Graal in earlier period of time, he felt it nostalgic to be back in human world.

After all the things he lost were only memories of his personal life, but he still retained most of the knowledge and information he acquired in last life.

His main objectives staying in human world is to find wielders of Sacred Gears that he is interested in, collect genetic materials of various people with high potential among humans and other races to study and improve himself and to find his potential peerage members.

For Riser, finding people is not that difficult after all with his abilities related to souls, he can search and track them.

Out of all people in this world, searching for Sacred Gear owners was easiest for Riser, he remembers that specific aura from his experience with Sephiroth Graal.

Finding people with high potential is also not that difficult, you only need to check who is popular in supernatural world or he could choose people from his memories of this world or he could just use his abilities to check the potential of people he meets.

But the most troublesome thing was finding his potential peerage members.

Raiser wanted to find his original peerage members he was supposed to have in this world and few extra those who he wishes to bring them together as part of his peerage.

Like Lavinia Reni who is an owner of Longinus type sacred gear, Akeno Himejima, Kuroka, Shirone (Koneko Toujou), Gasper Vladi, Valerie Tepes, Magnus Rose, Dulio Gesualdo and Issei Hyoudou.

Riser was not sure how to deal with Issei Hyoudou and his Boosted Gear.

So for now he just extracted [Boosted Gear] from Issei and he kept it to study them. Also it was much more troublesome to safely extract Sacred Gear with spirits sealed in it from its original owners.

He will think about whether he should return it to Issei later in future after he make up his mind, after all Issei is supposed to activate his Sacred Gear years later.

Taking Gasper Vladi and Valerie Tepes with him is very difficult as they are both children of vampires of high status in Romania, even if they are born to human mothers.

For now he could only wait, because the discriminatory behavior of vampires when it comes to Dhampir will give him a chance to pull them both to his group at some point of time.

Atleast he wants to take away Valerie, as he always feels he have some fate with her.

She was supposed to be the original owner of Sephiroth Graal, but instead she now have a sacred gear with much lower quality which still belongs to category that can interact with souls.

He have also extracted [Forbidden Balor View] and kept it with him for research and will give it back to Gasper later in future.

It only because of the discriminatory attitude towards Gasper Vladi and Valerie Tepes that he was able to get near them much easier and extract [Forbidden Balor View] and blood and genetic material for his research from both of them.

Akeno Himejima is also someone whom he cannot easily come in contact with right now.

Magnus Rose was originally peerage member of Ruval Phenex, his eldest brother.

Dulio Gesualdo is originally a war orphan who was taken in by church and trained as an Exorcist.

He have informed his father about both Magnus Rose and Dulio Gesualdo, he only informed that they might be powerful sacred gear wielders and each can be potential peerage members for his elder brothers.

Riser have no intention to let church or other faction have both of them as peace and alliance have not yet formed.

His father have kept a monitor for both of them to contact them at the right time.

Dulio Gesualdo might be brought under Phenex house sooner because civil strife is happening in his country and originally he was a war orphan taken in by church after this civil stifle.

For now Riser have not come in contact with those that have Sacred Gears with spirits sealed in them other than Issei and Gasper because he have a feeling that something unexpected might happen if he did so.

Riser felt that they are secretly monitored by others especially Cao Cao, Tobio Ikuse and Vali Lucifier.

When it comes to Lavinia Reni, Riser intends to take in Lavinia Reni as his peerage member so he have already made contact with her and her family.

He bought the house right next to them, living with Albert and few human maids he trained during his stay at human world, just to make contact with them. Also to grow feelings for each other as well as making a slight dependency on him.

He is a devil, sometimes he have to do devil like things to get things done according to his goals.

He have not hesitated to use his charm and pheromone like abilities slightly over the year while playing and interacting with her to develop a strong and long lasting bond with her.

Raiser knows she might have a hard time in future because she was supposed to loose her parents in an accident. But he is not going to prevent it, only when facing difficulty can he truly develop affection and loyalty towards him.

The other ones whom he have come in contact with is Shirone (Koneko), Kuroka and their mother Fujimai.

Fujimai is a kind and gentle woman, but also stupid. Her human husband only treats her as an object to vent his lust but this woman keeps on remain committed to him.

But because of this simple and honest nature, Riser could easily persuade Fujimai and let her completely hate her husband with some sweet words and some behind the scene set ups.

Riser have fully utilized his abilities to form a strong bond with Fujimai, Kuroka and Shirone.

They are the few of the first people whom Riser came in contact with when he came to human world other than Lavinia Reni and her family,

Three of them have been living in a villa bought by him for them.

Riser intends to take them to Underworld when he goes back as Fujimai already knows he is a devil and have come in contact with devils before through her ex-husband.

Riser alternatively stays with them and at the house nearby Lavinia over this year.

Also from time to time he have to take care of Fujimai, who goes in heat most probably because the pheromone like smell that emits from his body.

After taking her in as a servant Riser have used many of his abilities to seduce this woman completely.

Such a women who is very committed, loyal, kind and gentle, instead of letting her worthless ex-husband have her, Riser was determined to make her his.

She only wanted recognition, care and support, especially she wanted a good place for her daughters to grow up safety.

Thus after spending her days with Riser, she have completely submitted to him.

She is the first woman, whom Riser have sexual interactions with, even if he cannot do the real thing.

He have used his hands and mouth to make this woman beg for mercy in bed.

This also lead to him get interested in such activities early in age, especially he likes it when Fujimai, who in normal times is like a gentle and kind moan out loud like a depraved cat in heat and beg for more.

Even if he clearly don't understand feelings like lust, desire and intimacy between man and woman as he is still child, he have lot of knowledge about these acts and can make some logical conclusions about what is good and what is not, so right now he have covered it up.

Riser have also found Yubelluna, Karlamine, Siris, Isabela, Xuelan, Marion, Bülent, Shuriya, Mihae, Ni and Li.

Other than Mira, Ile and Nel, who may not have born yet, he have found his original peerage members that he was supposed to have.

Other than Yubelluna who is slightly older than him, rest of them are around his age or younger than him.

The good thing is that they are all orphans.

Riser don't know what kind of fate they might have had to become his peerage members like what he remembers from previous life.

Without thinking much about it, he have arranged his butler Albert to adopt these girls and bring them back to their castle in underworld informing his family that they might be his potential peerage members.

Riser can see with his abilities that they have very good potential for growth.

His parents were very much dumfounded when he was sending girls one after another back to castle, but they soon ignored it seeing the potential of these girls themselves.

At first they were afraid because the place they are in and people around them is completely different, but with good food and safe environment these girls adapted quickly and started showing potential for growth.

"Finally, I got the chance to take the 'Telos Karma' from that girl" (Riser)

The girl that Riser is talking about is 'Momiji Nakiri' original wielder of 'Telos Karma'.

This is one of the most troublesome person Riser had to face to extract the Sacred Gear.

Momiji Nakiri is after all from Nakiri family, one of the Five Great Families that have direct relationship with Shinto Gods and wield the powers of Sacred Beasts.

It was exactly because of this that it is very difficult to get an opportunity to take away Sacred Gear without alerting all these people.

"Damn, that Sacred Beast was too sensitive" (Riser)

Even though during this year Riser have fought, killed or captured many stray and hostile devils, exorcists, magicians, fallen angels, vampires and few others from different races. He didn't want to poke at hornet's nest.

So for this he had to be extra careful as Gods are not something Riser want to come in contact with right now.

For Riser who is master in soul manipulation, it is very easy to safely take the soul artifacts like Sacred Gears if it has not yet activated by its wielders.

From his observation, the Sacred Gear truly attaches itself to its host only when it is activated for the first time.

Throughout this whole year Riser have been going around the world extracting Sacred Gears he was interested in.

First one that he extracted was [Dimension Lost] from Georg who is still a child like him. Its only slightly difficult because he was from magician family.

Then he extracted [Dreamlike Curse], [Night Reflection], [Innovate Clear]. Which were much easier to extract and take it away.

Riser never thought that [Innovate Clear] was owned by a child in a remote place in Africa.

Then he was very lucky enough to find the [Annihilation Maker], he actually thought that Leonardo have yet to be born, but two months ago, when he checking the signatures of Longinus type sacred gears, he found an additional one. On checking Leornado was born, Riser immediately extracted it from the baby.

Riser absolutely have no intension to return the Sacred gears [Dimension Lost], [Annihilation Maker], [Innovate Clear], [Telos Karma], [Dreamlike Curse] or [Night Reflection] to its original owners.

After all most of these are supposed to be wielded by Hero Faction of future and [Innovate Clear] and [Telos Karma] are dangerous artifacts that can change the situation of a war just like that if properly used.

Most troublesome artifact is not the ones that makes the power of an individual stronger, but those that can deal with a crowd and cause lot of troubles, that is why he specifically extracted these Sacred Gears. Also, he himself also wants these powers himself.

[Unknown Dictator], [Zenith Tempest], [Absolute Demise], [Boosted Gear] and [Forbidden Balor View] these were borrowed by Riser and kept it with him to study them and replicate it abilities.

Of these, [Unknown Dictator], [Zenith Tempest] and [Absolute Demise] are the only ones that Riser returned to its original owner. He would probably have lot of time to study these more closely in future.

But [Boosted Gear] and [Forbidden Balor View] he will only return them in future and kept it with him.

Riser was feeling very happy when he returned, his objectives in human world are almost complete.

"Riser-sama, you are finally back" (Albert)

Riser was confused by Albert's troubled face.

"What happened? Why do you have such face?" (Riser)

"Lady Phenex just contacted sometime ago" (Albert)

"Ughhh.." (Riser)

Riser have been extending his stay at human world and his mother always complains and asks him to return back.

Even though he goes back and stay at his home back at Underworld every month that is not enough for his mother, ever since he went to human world his mother have been asking him to go back.

Riser sometimes feels helpless with such doting mother and have to make up some excuses to calm his mother down at that time.

Riser knows that it is just because she misses him, he can't just leave human world without completing whatever he have planned, can he?

Its only because Ravel is too young and needs his mother to take care of her that she is not coming to human world just like that to drag him back to the Underworld.

"I will contact mother" (Riser)

"Yes, Riser-sama" (Albert)

Albert left after that, Riser immediately contacted his mother.

Projection of his mother was displayed on his desk.

"Good day, Mother, How are you?" (Riser)

Riser asked stiffly.

"Huhu.. I am doing fine, my dear baby, when will you come back, we miss you." (Ariana)

There was a scary smile on her face which made him have cold sweat.

"I miss you too, This time I have completed most of the things that I wanted to do in Human world, I intend to come back to Underworld within few weeks" (Riser)

"Ahh.. great, this time don't make any excuses like always otherwise I will personally come to you to drag you back home" (Ariana)

Riser knew that his mother was very serious.

"No no.. This time I am not making any excuses, I am almost done with whatever I wanted to do" (Riser)

"Good. by the way are you going to bring those little girls whom you have eye on to underworld while you return this time?" (Ariana)

"I am thinking about it, I will bring back Fujimai, Kuroka and Shirone.to underworld this time, But Lavinia Reni, I am not sure whether they could accept a devil that easily, so I am waiting for an opportunity" (Riser)

"Hehe.. I knew my baby boy is going to charm a lot of girls in future, but who would have thought that you would start from this age." (Ariana)

His mother had a teasing smile.

"How many girls are you going to take in my dear son? You have already send us 11 girls to train as servants and your potential peerage members. You know your fiancées Rias Gremory and Kuisha Abaddon might get jealous at this behavior of yours later in future, they might even hate you, you know?"

"Err.. I will somehow coax Rias and Kuisha when the time comes."

Riser was not sure what to answer to this question and was speechless at his mother's teasing.

"Hahaha.. that's my boy, just do whatever you want. By the way I heard from Albert that you are training Fujimai as your maid, she is the mother of Kuroka and Shirone right?" (Ariana)

"Yes, mother. I am training her to be my maid, she already knows that Kuroka and Shirone are both my potential peerage members" (Riser)

"Mmm.. you don't have to worry about Lavinia Reni and her family, I will arrange people to keep an eye on them, you go and communicate with them to take them under you whenever you feel ready, alright?" (Ariana)

"Yes, mother" (Riser)

"Ahh.. your eldest brother contacted Magnus Rose that you found, he accepted to be your brothers peerage member and was reincarnated into a devil, just like you guessed, he really is a Sacred Gear wielder, though we are not sure what it can do, he just activated it yesterday." (Ariana)

"Great, I didn't expect this to happen so soon thought, I thought Dulio might be the one that we take in first" (Riser)

"Both me and your father though like you as well, but that boy Ruval convinced him in some way, after all Magnus is just a curious boy now" (Ariana)

"How about Ravel? How is she? Is she still stubborn for your presence every time she is awake?" (Riser)

"Hahah.. of course, its great that you comes back every month, otherwise I would have had a headache handling the little girl alone" (Ariana)

"I see, well, soon I will come back and as I promised, I will spend lots of time back at home." (Riser)

"Mmm. I will expect you to fulfill your promise, my dear son" (Ariana)

Lady Phenex said with a smile that made him terrified.

"Alright.. Alright.. I will contact you later mother, I just came back finishing one of my objectives, I still have to do certain things." (Riser)

"Alright, baby, contact us when you are free, take care" (Ariana)

"Bye, take care mother" (Riser)

With that they end the call.
