The Dovahkiin and the Devils of Kuoh

Using 'Wuld Nah Kest' is a strange experience.

When one activates the Thuum, they are immediately propelled almost 30 feet forward in a matter of milliseconds, at least, that is how it is for normal folk of Skyrim.

For me, it is a completely different story.

Unlike what was portrayed in the games, being a dovahkiin does not just mean that Thuum comes naturally to me, it means something far greater than that.

For one, I am now a humanoid Dragon, my body, my flesh, blood, and bones, even my very DNA is that of a human, on a physical level. But on a Metaphysical level, every aspect of my body, including my soul is that of a true dragon, a dragon of Skyrim.

I am essentially a Demigod, the direct descendent of Akatosh. The God of time who takes the form of a Dragon, the one known as the father of all Dragons.

These changes were further enhanced when I discovered that all of my mods from the game had also somehow transferred over to this world.

This means that my thuum are now a thousand times more powerful, my dragon aspect and divinity enhanced to unimaginable levels, my physical stats as well as my metaphysical ones multiplied by many times.

This also means that it only took me less than a second to arrive at Kuoh academy which was a good two kilometers from our house. This slow speed was due to the fact that I had purposefully slowed myself down so that I can stop in time when I arrive.

"huh, I always thought that it would be impressive, but when compared to the institute of Winterhold, this is nothing" I mumbled as I stared at the Kuoh campus.

Walking into the campus, I felt a barrier try and scan my presence, only to fail when it came into contact with my body, after all, the barrier was never designed to withstand the power of a being that was almost on par with the gods themselves.

But the existence of this barrier also reminded me of how different this world is when compared to its anime counterpart.

Since this is reality and not an anime, certain changes were bound to happen, such as Rias being a somewhat competent devil and taking her responsibilities seriously, the matter regarding the Nekomata massacre all those years ago, where the Devil kings were actually competent and launched an investigation into the King of Kuroka and finding evidence discrimination the Devil in question, the Nekosmata not being completely wiped out and the remaining survivors were given various benefits by the Devils as a form of compensation.

The existence of the Magus Association also played a great part in the general competency of the creatures in this world. After all, one would not want to piss off a bunch of humans who have absolutely zero morals and are willing to go to any lengths to achieve their goals.

As I enter the so-called clubhouse of Rias Gremory, I am faced with two people, one of whom I did not expect to see here of all places.

The first one is someone I had expected to see, a woman with a great figure, white hair, and silver eyes dressed in a maid outfit. The deeply hidden fear in her eyes when she saw me felt satisfying.

This was none other than the Queen and wife of the current Lucifer. Grayfia Lucifuge.

The second person, the one I was not expecting.

He was dressed in a basic suit, something that was very out of character for him. His golden bags were swept back, making him look much more presentable than he normally is, his ever-present annoying smirk in also nowhere to be seen.

Azazel, the leader of the Fallen Angels.

"It has been some time, Grayfia," I said with a smirk as the strongest queen's mouth twitched but remained polite and bowed as she said.

"It has indeed been some time Minato-sama"

"As stiff as always I see, anyway, why are you here Azazel? and what is up with those clothes?" I said.

"I am here to try and negotiate with you on behalf of Sirzechs, as you know, he is busy taking care of the fallout with the Olympians after what happened two months ago, as for my clothes, I was practicing to make myself presentable when the peace conference takes place in a few months time," Azazel said as my eyes narrowed when he mentioned the Olympians.

Those shitty things should just fade from existence already. Seriously, their existence is not even worth a fraction of the divinity they wield. While there indeed exist a few good Olympians, most of them are horny bastards or grumpy bitches.

They were lucky that I only punished Zeus for what they did two months ago.

I shook my head to forget about that, that diplomatic incident is being handled by Sirzechs in my place as he owes me a favor from a few years ago, I will need to take care of this diplomatic incident first before the one incident with Kyoto catches up with me.

Seriously, the last three years have been incident after incident.

I looked towards the cause of this time's incident only to find an odd sight.

Rias Gremory and her peerage, and my brother who had somehow managed to get here before me, were huddled together at the corner of the room, letting her brother's queen do the talking for her, I did not fail to notice how my brother and Rias were unusually close to each other from what I was seeing.

Issei, I can take it as him regaining his perverted nature after being turned into a devil, but Rias?, from what I had observed in th few days before my departure to London, was not as open with physical contact with the opposite sex as Issei was, even though she was a very big exhibitionist, in fact, everyone who had Gremory blood was exhibitionists.

Ugh, another problem for another time.

I quickly turned towards Grayfia as I sat down on the couch, Azazel soon sat across me as Grayfia stood to the side.

"Since we already know what has happened, lets cut to the chase and get on with it," I said.

"Very well, as you know, if the word gets out that your brother was reincarnated-"

"The word had already gotten out, Azazel, and trust me, neither the Magus association nor the Shinto are too happy about it" came a voice as Zelretch himself walked into the room from a Kaleidoscopic portal as Azazel's face turned grave as Grayfia had a frown.

"What are you doing here Zelretch?" I asked, puzzled at his presence.

"When we heard of what happened, I was already on my way to confirm the rumors when I bumped into the Shinto, they had asked to check the situation and inform them about it, if they find out that the rumors are true, there is a 90% chance that they will directly declare war on the Devils and since the three factions are right now in a delicate situation, the annihilation of the Devils is guaranteed if they really declare war," he said as Azazel slumped in his chair.

"....What are we supposed to do now?" he muttered as Zelretch had an amused smile.

"The answer is quite simple, turn him back to human," he said as Azazel glared.

"You know that it is not possible, once the evil pieces are used, they directly bond with the host's soul, the process is irreversible, it is even more impossible for the current situation because from what I know, Issei had willingly allowed Rias to reincarnate him into a devil," he said as I once again glared at Issei who covered under my gaze, being reminded of the fact that my idiot of a brother had decided to sell away his humanity still stung like a bitch even when I came to terms with it.

"Then the only other part left is to persuade Minato, he had a significant position in the Association, even though most of the nobles hate him more than anything, he also has good relations with the Shinto faction, so if the Devils manage to convince him with a few 'gifts' and whatnot, he might be willing to tell the Association and the Shinto that Issei had willingly changed into a Devil," Zelretch said with a huge grin which was only matched by own grin.

Ah! my good teacher, you and I truly think alike.

Azazel started to sweat bullets as he heard Zelretch's words, he was in deep shit now, he already knew exactly what Minato had always wanted from the three factions, hell, everyone knew what he wanted, and if Sirzechs were to give in to this request, there will be great upheaval in the Underworld.

"I am afraid Azazel-sama does not have the authority to grant any of Minato-sama's 'gifts' even if we wanted, I am afraid we will have to wait until Sirzechs-sama returns from his trip to give you an answer," Grayfia said with barely suppressed fear and rage as she thought of the consequences of this meeting.

One thing was for sure, if this duo of Teacher and student really got what they wanted, the fate of the Devils would be put in a very precarious position.
