Prologue V2

"Huh? Where am I?"

The first thing Kamijou saw when he opened his eyes was pitch-black darkness. No matter where he looked, no matter how he turned his head, there was darkness.

A silent eerie darkness that stretched out forever.

"Just where am I? Am I inside a dream? But it feels so real. Wait, why can't move my body?"

It was a strange situation. He tried moving his limbs but he soon found out that he was stuck in the same position.

He tried again and again but the result didn't change. He was really stuck. It was like he was being restricted by some kind of mysterious force.

Not only that, he couldn't feel any of his senses. His sense of balance, touch, sight and even hearing.

He panicked and tried calling out for help. However, absolutely nobody answered his love call.

He felt stupid when he calmed down and thought about it. It wasn't like there was anyone here so what was the point of calling for help.

"But still, what kind of strange dream is this? Come to think of it, I have been having alot of strange dreams lately. But let's go back, shall we? "

Now it was time to recall past details.

His name was Kamijou Ryuji. A second year high-school studying at Kouh Academy.

More importantly, he was a reincarnator that entered the world of DxD through death. He couldn't remember the exact details since his memory of his past life was blurry but he concluded he was a leader of a secret magic cult.

He might be jumping to conclusions here but he couldn't think of any other explanation. After all, there was this large amount of magic knowledge silently sitting inside his head.

Unlike the events of DxD, he could recall it by just thinking about it. But it's not like he could use it. Since he couldn't use magic, what was the point of reincarnating with secret arcane knowledge.

He sighed. He was just unlucky, that was all. Even if he couldn't use magic, it was not like he was completely useless. He reincarnated with a special right hand.

Imagine Breaker.

The power to negate supernatural powers including the system of God. Of course, it couldn't help pass his exams or get girls, its only purpose was the elimination of anything supernatural of origins.

For that reason, he wasn't completely helpless. Even if he couldn't defeat an army on his own, he was able to save that sister. Thinking about it, wasn't she staying with him after that incident.

"I always wondered about the origins of Imagine Breaker."

Kamijou has heard about many powers to negate but he never heard about a power that could negate even the system of God. Because of that, he concluded that it was the source of all his misfortunes.

Of course, he currently has no way of investigating the power in his right hand. Maybe there was records of such a power in DxD but he highly doubted it.

"Huh?"

Kamijou suddenly turned his head. He thought he saw something move just now. Of course, he couldn't actually see through the thick darkness. But he just felt like something was there. Maybe he was just being paranoid. After all, nobody liked the dark.

"Really now, I need to relax. There's nothing here."

Kamijou took a breath and then released. It was too early to relax though.

"?!"

He turned his head again. This time, he was sure he just saw something squirming through the darkness. The feeling of fear that he barely managed to seal was starting to resurface.

"?!!"

He turned his head and then there. Here and there. Here and there. Left and right. Up and down. Now it felt like he was slowly losing his mind.

"God damnit!"

He couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, he felt he would run mad or he will have an heart attack.

"SHOW YOURSELF ALREADY! WHAT? ARE YOU SOME KIND OF PERVER THAT ENJOYS HIDING IN THE DARK?!!"

Kamijou shouted from the bottom of his heart. But he didn't receive any response.

There was no sound. Only the eerie darkness remained.

Did I imagine the whole thing? Kamijou thought. But before he could calm down, he felt a presence.

An overwhelming presence infront. Unlike other times, its presence was so apparant that Kamijou didn't think it was a Illusion or his imagination.

A pair of yellow slit eyes were staring at Kamijou from the darkness. The rest of body was not visible but that was needed. It was enough for Kamijou to think something was there and it was overwhelmingly evil.

It was a monster from the Abyss. The ruler of the depth.

"You.... W-What are you?"

Kamijou struggled to even mutter out those words. The only response he got was the entity opening its wide jaws and devouring him whole.
