Kazuki wakes up in the morning to smell cooking. Someone was cooking eggs and it smelt delightful. He gets up and heads to the kitchen to see Asia. "Oh good, you're awake!" Asia says. "Yup, you didn't have to cook for me y'know."
"Nonsense, without you I would still be working with the fallen angels. You're even letting me stay in your house. And so I thought I'd do something nice for you."
"That's sweet of you." Kazuki sits down and Asia serves him the eggs. He takes a bite and loves it. "These are amazing," he says with a stuffed mouth. "Thank you." She sits next to him and starts to eat hers.
Once they finished their breakfast Kazuki tells Asia that he was headed to the Occult Research club. "I'm gonna see what Rias and the others are up to. Would you like to come?"
"I would love to come with you."
"Great, it's settled. I'll just see what they're up to."
Once they get to the club they are greeted by Rias. "It seems like you only come here when you need something." The redhead says. She looks beside Kazuki and makes eye contact with Asia. "And what is she doing here?"
"Oh, Kazuki says I could come with him here. Is there a problem?" Asia says innocently.
Rias was not amused. "And how do I know you won't try anything? You are a 'holy' person after all."
"I would like to come inside now," Kazuki says trying to ease the situation. "Fine." Rias steps aside and lets Kazuki and Asia in. "So is anything interesting going on?" Kazuki asks. "We were planning on visiting the familiar forest to get Issei a familiar," Rias says, answering the question.
"Familiar? Like a companion?" Kazuki questioned. "That's exactly right," answered Rias. "Is it possible for me to get one?" Kazuki asks. The redhead shakes her head in response. "No it's just not possible unless you have a summoning circle."
"That's unfortunate but at least I got my shadows."
"Indeed it is."
Issei comes to the main room to see the two talking. "What is he doing here?" Issei asked. "Rias, you better keep your pet in check. Don't want him disrespecting me right? I mean I could just kill him right here."
Rias faces Issei, "You need to calm down. He may seem intimidating but he means well."
"Yeah what she said," Kazuki added. "Anyway, Kazuki we will be going now. Hope you don't die of boredom while we're gone." Rias says, smirking. Kazuki rolls his eyes in return. Soon the rest of the peerage arrives.
They greet Kazuki and Asia before departing to the familiar forest. "What are we going to do while they're gone?" Asia questioned. "I have an idea." He faces Asia, "Do you trust me?"
She nods her head in response. Kazuki holds her hand and says two words, "Dungeon create." Immediately the surrounding area changes, and they find themselves in a medieval sort of time period.
!System: Welcome to 'Satisfy'
Unlike the other dungeons, you can return to this world
This world contains NPC's and real people
Asia looks around amazed. "Where are we?" Kazuki also takes a moment to look around his surroundings before answering Asia's question. "A world called 'Satisfy'. C'mon let's have a look around."
The pair explore the town that they found themselves in. It was a lively place, with many conversations, and many stores. Kazuki heard some clanking sounds as if someone was making something. He follows the sound, Asia beside him. They find themselves in a blacksmith shop.
Someone was working on something. The person stops to look at the pair. "May I help you?" They say.
"We're new here and we're just looking at some places. So what are you doing?" Kazuki says. "Trying to craft a legendary sword. The names Grid by the way, what's yours?"
"Kazuki. So you're crafting a legendary sword?" He asked. "Yeah but there is a small chance of it actually becoming legendary," Grid replied. "So who's your friend?" Kazuki says, referring to a bearded man that was beside him.
"That's nobody of importance." Grid says while smirking. "Hey, that's not nice. My name is Vanter."
Kazuki uses observe on Grid and was surprised by what he saw.

He doesn't bother using observe on Vanter though. "Who's the girl next to you?" Grid asked. "This is my friend Asia."
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." The blond says. "Yeah, same here," Grid replies. Before Kazuki could ask any more questions, Grid's face changed. "Ah, sorry guys but I gotta go. My sister is calling." And just like that Grid was gone, he vanished.
"Woah, is he like me? He's the strongest person I've seen so far." Kazuki says to himself. "What's the matter, is that a bad thing?" Asia asked. "No, of course not. Just interesting."
"This asshole ditched me again!" Vanter yells. "Please don't yell, you're hurting my ears," Kazuki tells Vanter. The bald man ignores Kazuki because he's focused on something else. "Jishuka? What's going on..."
"Who's that?" Kazuki asked. "She's the leader of the Tzedakah Guild. I have to leave, it's an emergency."
"Emergency you say? I'm coming with you." Kazuki says. Vanter was surprised. "What? Uh, fine. Just don't die," he tells Kazuki.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Asia asked. "It's fine, Viser will protect you," Kazuki reassured. The shadow Viser appeared beside Asia and gave her a reassuring smile.
The group went down to Bairan Village to see what was going on. They arrive to see destruction. Two things caught Kazuki's eye, the purple rift in the sky and two menacing figures.

"Are you the heathens that defeated Malacus and harmed the Church?" Niberius says. "What the hell is he talking about?" Kazuki asked. Niberius held a flute to his mouth and started to play it. That is when Kazuki realizes that the flute was no regular musical object but a deadly weapon.
[!System: The sound of the flute contains dark magic that causes a loss of balance and loss of concentration.]
[Your evasion rate is now 0%. Your accuracy has decreased to 60%.]
[These effects will last until the sound of the flute stops.]
"I will have you pay for that," Niberius continued. His ally, Balak stays back and watches. Just then, a red-haired boy comes out of nowhere and defends Vantner and Kazuki. "Stay back, I 'Overgeared No. 2' will block this!" He slashes his sword at Niberius and yells, "IBELLIN!!"
Kazuki, Vantner, and other warriors watched on as the boy was seemingly paralyzed. Niberius cackles, "I see you are trying to inflict even the slightest damage on me. It's a motive as pathetic as that sword of yours. Blame your recklessness of daring to hold me back with your incompetence, you heathen." He holds up his hand, a purple glow surrounds it.
A figure swooshes into the scene, landing an attack on Niberius. "Your sword brushed against me...impressive," Niberius says. "What? It only brushed against him?" The mysterious person says. Kazuki took this as the chance to use his observe skill on the villain.

Kazuki then decided to finally intervene. "Yes, that flute causes a handful of effects, including a decrease in accuracy." He tells them.
"Nice, Faker!" Vantner says. He continued to say, "If we all work together we can-" Faker cuts him off saying, "No, you guys go ahead. The other members will arrive soon, and we are more suited to hold him back here." Faker says. "There are many more enemies to be defeated other than him. Vantner, you have a mission to uphold," he continued. Vantner nods saying, "It is a guardian knight's duty to protect their master. Jishuka! Catch up to me!!"
Jishuka and Vantner leave to fight the other villains. This leaves Kazuki with Faker, "Guess it's only the two of us now." Kazuki says. "Who are you? I don't recognize you as part of the Tzedakah Guild." Faker comments.
Kazuki grins, "Let's just say I'm not from here. All you need to know is I am an ally." He says to Faker. "Alright, let's do this!" Faker yells.
Kazuki releases all of his shadows. The sudden move surprised Niberius and Faker. "What is this?" The old man says. "This is your end," Kazuki replied.

"Go," Kazuki commanded. All of his shadow soldiers listened and immediately rushed after the villain. In response, Niberius summoned a shield to block the incoming attacks. The shield wasn't too effective, Titan and Colossus were way too big to block. Titan manages to step on Niberius.
Faker watches on amazed, "Was it really that easy?" He questioned. Once Titan moved, Niberius was nowhere to be seen.
"Nice try." Faker and Kazuki hear a voice from behind. They turned around to see Niberius, he was completely unharmed. "What the hell?" Kazuki says. Niberius laughs, "I have many skills, teleportation is one of them!"
Kazuki turns to Faker, "Distract him will you? I need to do something real quick." Faker nods and goes to fight the villain. "Have you given up? I don't blame you," Niberius mocked. "Quit talking!" Faker charged at the old man but he wasn't able to land a single hit.
Kazuki summoned his Kreeton Cutter and dashed for Niberius. He goes for multiple attacks but Niberius was somehow dodging all of them. "Why the hell can't I hit you?!" Kazuki yelled in frustration. "It is no use, this is where you die," The old man stated. Niberius used a spell using the orb in his hands. "Dark Stone Blizzard." A devastating amount of magic was blasted toward the two. Kazuki was going to take the brunt of the attack.
At least that was going to be the case until Faker pushes Kazuki out of the way. The legendary assassin was brutally wounded. Seeing this angered Kazuki, and he looks up to see Niberius about to chant another spell. "Oh no, you don't!" He yells as he equips Rasaka's Fang. Niberius was caught off guard by the sudden attack. "Are you really going to attack an old man?" Niberius says trying to buy some time. "Shut the hell up!"
[Skill: Mutilation is active, Cooldown time; 24 Hours]
Kazuki does not waste any time, he goes crazy with the daggers. "No this can't be the end!" Niberius yelled. The old man, Niberius was quite literally ripped to shreds. Kazuki stands over the pieces of the old man, "I don't think I'll be able to extract a shadow from pieces of flesh." He picks up the items that were left behind.

[Desc: Reduces magic casting time by 20%. A bracelet that Neberius treasured. It doesn't have much effect, but it is an artifact that is very helpful to a magician. It affects all other surrounding magicians within a 20-meter distance.]
╚ ═════════════. .★.╝
"Nice, this bracelet would be great in the hands of a mage." He turns his attention to Faker who was still in critical condition. Kazuki looks at his shadows who were standing idly. "You all need some training if you want to keep up. But as for now, I need to get Faker to Asia." He calls back the shadows and heads back to the village he was at before.
Once there, he barges into the door with Faker in his arms. "Kazuki, what happened? Who is this?" Asia questioned. "Asia, there is no time you need to use your healing powers," Kazuki says. Kazuki lays Faker down on the floor. Asia followed, she was now on her knees. She hovers her hands over Faker's body, a green glow illuminated her hands. Slowly but surely Faker was gaining his consciousness back. He opens his eyes to see the blond looking at him.
"W-who are you?" He questioned. "My name is Asia."
Faker gets up and looks around. "No, I can't be here. What happened to Niberius?" He questioned. "I killed him," Kazuki says. "Y-you what? Did the others back you up or was it the army that you had?"
"Nope, my 'army' wasn't much of a help. But that's alright, I'll whip them into shape." Kazuki says. Faker finally notices the other figure that was there, a womanly figure that resembled Kazuki's 'army'.
Kazuki notices Faker staring and says, "If you look too long she might just turn into a giant spider." Viser then smirks at Faker. "No more wasting time, Jishuka and the others will need help. Will you help us?" Faker asked. "Of course, I will," Kazuki replied. "Sorry Asia. I didn't expect us to be in this world this long."
"No, it's okay. You can beat the bad guys, I believe in you." Asia says. "Thanks, see you in a few... uh, hours? I don't know." Kazuki and Faker run out of the building. He looks toward Faker and tells him, "I don't want to waste any more time here. I need to get back home," wings grow out of Kazuki's back. "You better catch up!" He continued. Kazuki leaves the area, leaving a dumbfounded Faker. "That guy never ceases to amaze me," Faker then starts to run.
Kazuki was the first of the two to reach the area of battle. He was able to see the number of people that were fighting off the Yatan Church servants. Kazuki's eyes eventually land on the person that was next to Niberius when they first arrived. "Observe."

"I can already tell that he will be a challenge...Come out." The shadows all appeared on the battlefield. Kazuki descended and goes up to a mage. From his hands, he materialized Niberius' flute and bracelet. He gifts one of each to two mages. "They are yours now. Everyone attack the servants. I will deal with Balak."
"What the hell are these?" someone says. "I don't know but they seem to be allies," Jishuka comments.
Kazuki's shadows did as told and began to fight. The mage that was gifted the flute plays it, causing every servant to freeze. This effect made it even easier for the shadows to take them out. The mage that was gifted the bracelet puts it on.
[All mages' magic casting time decreased by 20%]
Kazuki appeared next to Jishuka and her allies. "Looks like you guys need my help," he says. "We'll need all the help we can get," Vanter comments. "Damn right you will," all of them hear a familiar voice. Kazuki looks up to see Grid, he was sitting on a roof of a building. "Grid!" They all say in unison. "Hey, don't forget about me!" Now the group look around to see Faker, he was panting from all of the running he had to do.
"Faker, good to see you," Kazuki says. "You left me!" He yells. "That's not important right now, we need to take down Balak."
Grid slides down the roof of the building, "Get ready," he says. "Do you believe this is a game?" Balak says to the group. "This world will fall and I will be the one that creates a new!" Grid draws out his sword, and Kazuki summons the Kreeton Cutter and a light sword.
Balak raises his sword at the group. "This sword will have a lot of fun cutting through your skin!" He yells. Grid then moved so fast the others couldn't see, including Kazuki. Using his new sword, Grid breaks through Balak's. "How is this possible?" Balak questioned angrily. "Hey, I haven't used [Kill]. So I need you to get one hit in," Grid says. Balak rages, "You dare talk down to me?!"
Jishuka and the rest of her guild watched on as Grid was easily taking care of Balak. Kazuki wasn't going to stand by and let Grid kill Balak. 'I can't let Grid kill him. His power will belong to me!'
[Skill: 'Quicksilver' is active]
Kazuki too reached speeds the others couldn't comprehend. He lands a solid chest shot using the light sword. The sword was protruding out of Balak's back.
[Balak's HP: 43,489/60,000]
[Critical! Balak has a weakness to holy items]
With the Kreeton Cutter on the other hand he slits the throat of the demon. "What the hell man?" Grid says disappointingly. "Stealing my kill is so not cool," he continued.
[Balak's HP: 37,218/60,000]
Balak struggled to stand on his feet.
He stumbled and tripped, making the light sword go completely through his chest. Balak lies on the floor, choking on his purple blood.
[Balak's HP: 28,129/60,000]
"Sorry man, it had to be done. There is something I need to do."
Grid ignores Kazuki and goes for an attack. He swings at the downed demon, and his health dramatically decreased.
[Balak's HP: 7541/60,000]
"No!" Kazuki yelled. The monarch shoves Grid to the side. He de-armed the Kreeton Cutter and quickly threw multiple light swords at the demon.
[Balak's HP: 0/60,000]
Without missing a beat Kazuki yells, "Arise!"
[Failed! 2 more tries]
"C'mon! Arise!"
[Failed! 1 more try]
"Balak, stop resisting! If you were to join me, we will be unstoppable! No more praising this Yatan god or whatever. Instead, you can worship a new god...ME! Now ARISE!!"
The body of Balak was covered in a mysterious black mist. Grid and the others watch on as Kazuki raised the demon from the dead. They were speechless. Balak was no longer covered in light blue flames. Instead, he was now covered in a dark blue flame-like aura.

"Hello, human," Balak says. This surprised everyone, including Kazuki.
