Strange situation

'Whoooosh…' with a gust of wind and the sound of rustling leaves I was stirred from my sleep. Creasing my eyebrows I softly open my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar place. The first thing I noticed was that I was sitting under a tree and the sun was high in the sky bearing down on me.

Glazing at my surroundings I couldn't recognise the park, it wasn't Central Park as it wasn't large enough. " where could I be? This city definitely isn't New York. The pollution in this city is high, it sticks to your sense of taste and overall smells foul." Standing up I patted of the grass from my behind. Currently I was wearing a green suit with a white shirt and red tie.

However, as I went to scratch my head at this bizarre situation I felt my hand touch something long. Grabbing it I brought it infront of my face " this is … long red hair. Was my hair always like this? Arggg" all of a sudden my brain felt as if a hot needle was forced through it. Fragments of memories from what I can only assume is my former life. As I didn't have such a defining trait such as red hair.

Walking over to the lake I wished to get a better look at my appearance. When my reflection appear I was shocked, I was outrageously handsome and seemed to be in my early teens. My skin was clear and appeared as if I was carved from stone. My eyes matched my suit as they where a mesmerising turquoise. Although young I could see that I was going to be devilishly handsome in the future. Whist looking at my reflection I felt the pain again and a name came to mind yet that was all " Sirzechs Gremory "

Looking up from the lake I decided it was time to conform which city I was In. Heading towards the nearest footpath and once reaching it I continued on my way in the direction of buildings. After what I can only assume was 20 minutes of walking I finally arrived at the entrance of the park. Looking at the sign I couldn't help but mutter to myself. " Gotham park, why does that sound so familiar"

Since I couldn't recognise the name I decided to keep on marching. Walking through streets close to the park I was continuously receiving glances and stares. Stepping onto a large street I noticed on one of the vehicles the let's 'GCPD' knowing that 'PD' stood for police department I approached. " officers, would you please tell me which city I'm currently in" after that I received two strange looks from the duo. For a moment silence rained before I was questioned. " your saying you don't know what city your in?" looking at the officer once again I couldn't help but be a little irritated " that is indeed what I just said which city am I in, this is America right?" Once again they looked at me as if I was a fool, saying what I could only assume was some police codes into his walkie-talkie he turned to me again " would you come with us down to the station, that way we could help you more kid" not taking any offence to how he addressed me I couldn't help but nod. Stepping into the back of the police cruiser we made our way to the station.

After around a 40 minute drive we arrived at a large building with the words. 'Gotham city police department' looking at this I started to get the picture 'I'm in a city called Gotham, sounds familiar yet again but I can't remember perfectly I can feel my brain heating up, maybe soon I'll remember something of importance.' Going through the building I eventually arrived in front of an office with a name plate.

'Commissioner Gordon' the heat reappeared once again this time stronger, I knew all I needed to do was look at this man and I'd remember everything. The officer which escorted me nocked on the door. Around 20-30 seconds later it opened. A middle aged well built man with a moustache and grey hair opened the door. " common in son let's have a chat"

In side my mind a literal bomb went off. I understood where I was and what happened to me. I was the devil sirzechs lucifer however, I couldn't go by that name or the real lucifer would hunt me down so Gremory it is. now I needed to escape this situation it's not a good situation to be in since the bat will most likely know I'm special if he gets a report.

After sitting down and having a little bit of small talk with commissioner Gordon we got into the questions and I answered them diligently" so son, your saying you woke up in Gotham park and have no idea how you arrived their. You where suffering from short term amnesia. But remember everything during your ride to the precinct as most of your memories returned before then" giving a nod at decided to add onto it " yes, after I woke up in Gotham park I didn't remember much, however I've been awake about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Speaking of time what is the time" looking one at a clock it read 2:45 or about that. " I see good to know, I am terribly sorry for taking up both your time and that of your officers however the day is still early and I have much I wish to do. So if you'll excuse I had a prior engagement at the library. " standing up and saying my goodbyes to the commissioner I left the room and started making my way out of the precinct.

Since I remember that I was a devil and that devil in the DxD universe had imagination magic I made a spell which would lead me to the library. Silently casting the magic which surprised me since it was so easy small balls of blue light appeared in my vision and started heading south. After around 30 minutes of walking I arrived at the library. Walking in I made why way towards a computer. Doing so I googled a number of abandoned buildings and articles about current gang wars.

Stumbling my way through the internet for a few hours I managed to get onto the dark web which proved no help at all. After a little longer a stumble upon a article about a villain which the batman had recently taken down man-bat and that his territory was up for grabs but no one wanted it as it was in disarray, mostly likely covered in shit and half eaten body's. So an area in which a small gang could run and operate was well empty. It was the perfect chance for me to create a foot hold.

Looking around at the towers of books I decided something " I wonder what fiction books are like in this world. Maybe I'll ask for a recommendation before leaving" looking around I found a librarian " excuse me miss, would you recommend me some books. I'm Trying to get into reading would like some idea of where to start" looking at me she blushed and I noticed her name tag which read Barbara Momentarily my eyes flashed in surprise as she wasn't in a wheelchair. Continuing our conversation she recommended me a few books mostly romance but still don't knock it until you try it. Thanking her for her time I walk to the till and used a little mental manipulation to get a free account since I didn't have any money. Which will indeed be a problem. Sure I can do all the renovations with magic but that be useless if I didn't buy the properties.

" I could use memory manipulation magic to get it easily… no where's the fun in that life should have some challenge to it no. However, should I save Barbara or should I allow her to be paralysed I could get some benefit out of it, like a shit ton of money" I couldn't help but smile slightly at the thought.

Casting invisibility magic I unfurled my wings looking back I saw 8 leathery wing protruding out my back. Yet again I couldn't help but smile, my previous life was uneventful and useless but this one will hopefully be fun and filled with chaos. After a short flight of around 10 minutes I couldn't help but be amazed at how large Gotham really was it was at most 4 times that of New York no wonder it's crammed with so many gangs.

Arriving at an abandoned building in man-bats territory I decided to make myself at home. For some reason I was able to creat non living things out of demonic energy. I know for a fact the originals could never do this so why could I. I felt smarter, things felt easy to create be it magical weapon or amour. I could make magic potions which could give people super strength or enhanced regeneration as well as cure any diseases.

It feels like the cheats I got from my transmigration where related to knowledge which is honestly helpful since the power of destruction is basically perfect for me as it can obliterate anything.

Sitting down on a sofa which I had made on the middle floor after some clean up made me think. " I need some subordinates, let's see what should I have I can see the magic formulas to summon many entities. Ah I've got it I'll summon a …"

In all honesty I don't know a lot About dc but imma try my best with this since most of it will be original stuff anyway since it's currently 5 years before cannon. ( it's set in young justice)

Another thing is that he doesn't really know about the essence stuff he kinda just has it without his knowing Kinda like extra knowledge. Although he has the knowledge he will need to practice so he can make powerful or god like items. Magic is a bit different tho since most can be based of science for example invisibility, he could just make light refract around him. For memory manipulation just go for it devils for dxd have imagination magic. Also he's going to avoid using it since it just make it boring.
