Devourer_Everything can be eaten. Even if you say otherwise.

Pov 1-person

My name is Nero and until now I was the second rook of Rias Gremory's peerage.

I met Rias as a child when I was wandering the streets of the city and eating a piece of garbage .... Yes, that sounds terrible.

The fact was that she was the only one who lent me a helping hand in this whole ugly city.

No one, not even the police, could chase me out of the train station where I used to try to sleep .... Fuck ... they didn't even take me to the police station. To check if someone was missing a child.

They just hit me with a police baton and chased me from one dry place I could find.

The only happiness that happened to me then was that I could eat literally everything ... At that time I considered myself a superhero ... after all, I had super power.

At the time, all I could do was eat the iron fence and be as tough as metal for a while. However, for a very short period of time. But at least I wasn't hungry.

However, despite such powers, I was not immune to temperature fluctuations.

And many times I was able to enter closed hotels, restaurants and the like.

I couldn't find anything on that one night ... well ... it was very cold and frankly I would almost have died if it wasn't for her.

While I was huddled behind a garbage can in the park, I was slowly dying of cold. By surprise, a red-haired girl covered me with warm fur and gave me warm chocolate to drink.

I didn't trust her at first, but her smile was nice. As a child. She prevented me from not accepting her help.

And then it went smoothly. I learned about the supernatural and joined her peerage as her first tower.

I met Akeno, then Koneko and Yutto and Gasper joined us. And everything was perfect.

We grew up together, that is me, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko. Kiba and Gasper joined much later.

Most of the time, I was very close to everyone. Gasper until it is closed by Lucifer. He scared me and I didn't talk to him at all ... He still scares me.

Koneko has always been like a little sister to me. She was the smallest in our group, apart from Gasper. And she always took offense at me for stupid reasons ... Not mine fucking guilty that ordinary food is tasteless to me.

And even more so the sweets, bland and taste somehow unpleasantly bitter.

The meat, however, is best raw, with any flavor. However, meat from a cow, pig or chicken. It was only edible, but not tasty.

Akeno and I have always liked to tease. And we could spend hours discussing something. I've always been somehow closer to her than to the others.

Rias was my heroine ... goddess at that time. There was nothing I wouldn't do for her. But I didn't show it much. I tried to treat her .... maybe differently ... I wanted him to know that I liked her for being Rias. A nice, affectionate girl who saved my life and stole my heart.

In fact, I loved her, and so did Akeno. Really .... and still love.

However, all good things come to an end quickly.

My world, my psyche and mental health. They were destroyed when I was in my third year of Kuhoh school with Rias and Akeno .... Koneko and Kiba were in a different class.

It all started when Rias and Sona sensed in devilish territory. Sacred Gear Holder, I didn't care too much then. And when Rias asked for all our familiars and so for ourselves. They started handing out leaflets.

Leaflets were ordinary, that is, as usual, our familiars were distributed to people to make a pact with them. However, these had an additional rune that, upon detection of the holder of the sacred equipment, in a life-threatening situation. It would inform Rias.

However, a nasty fate meant that it was me who fell to the vicinity of the school. He gave the brown-haired pervert a flyer ... Maybe I didn't. This jealous loser, out of malice, knocked the leaflets out of my hands while riding a bicycle.

And it was unfortunate that one leaflet fell into his backpack.

I, on the other hand, wanted the facts when the leaflets were lying on the ground. I took the stone lying next to me. And I threw it right at his head, causing him to crash into the wall of a nearby building ... But it was fun ... Wish he crashed into something more dangerous ... If you run into a mower or hit a barbed fence... I can dream...At least I wouldn't have gone through this hell then.

However, he survived and a few days later. Rias brought him to the club after school.

But then Rias looked at me differently ... a little ... but then I didn't see it.

And then the coincidence of the days Issei showed up more often at the club.

Everything started to fall apart. Rias was able to punish me for hitting Issei.

I just hit him while the kinky stared at her ... and it wasn't the first time. Whenever I did something that hurt Issei or anything related to him.

I was punished and he pretended to be a fucking victim. And then when nobody saw.

This little bastard laughed at me and he said , and I quote.

,, haha...You metal-eating idiot ... no matter what you do. I will be a hero anyway and all the girls will be mine and I will be the king of the harem. At most, you can jerk off."

Of course, I beat him to a pulp afterwards. Which made everyone at the club, except maybe Akeno. They weren't nice to me.

Akeno always avoided Issei whenever she saw him. She grabbed her head and then ... as soon as possible we went out together or to sign a pact together.

When I asked her about it. She replied that she felt as if something was trying to get through her layers of the mind castle. Which we learned together when I first tried "real meat." Whatever. But me and Akeno went to Bael territory together to learn the mind palace.

That was before the pervert showed up. And Akeno didn't want to leave me and she wanted to learn it too. So Rias and Grayfia agreed.

But back to Issei. Even though Rias can see that Issei is compared to me, she is pathetically weak. After all, I learned combat from a knight in the Lucifer peerage.

However, when it was revealed that Issei is the new Emperor of the Red Dragon. Rias almost went mad at his puncture, which hurt me a lot.

Yutto was more in Issei's defense than in mine. Even though we were friends of a much bigger one.

Maybe Yutto loves Issei, I don't know, I don't support it, I don't judge it.

But the fact that my friend turns away from me because of a pervert with whom he doesn't even have common topics. it really hurt.

And the fact that Koneko, despite challenging Issei at every turn. It prefers to be in his company than mine.

She even called me disgusting .... it hurt ... I understand, I don't like eating food, sweets ... But the words hurt.

However, not so much when Rias insulted me after Issei managed to use Dragon Shot once.

She said:

,,Issei you are amazing ..."-Rias

,,Am I better than that omnivorous Nero?"-Issei

,,Of course ... Nero is strong now .... but you are the Red Dragon Emperor ... you will surpass this evil devourer over time. After all, it only strengthens after eating a piece of metal ... it's nothing compared to Boost gear. "-Rias

Then I was hiding behind the wall and eavesdropping. However, Rias's words really hurt me.

And it got worse over time. Rias every time I beat Issei. She said Issei would chase me away soon and that I shouldn't have hit him so hard. She was punishing me, but if he had defeated me, she would have praised him. And she ignored me ... How do I know.

One time, I tested these theories.

And what turned out. Not only did Rias run up to Issei and feel him grope as a reward. But she made fun of me saying she was right. And that Issei is better than me.

After that I couldn't stand it and ran up from Issei. Who was surprised I finally feigned heavy injuries. And beat him to a pulp.

And when I did, I said to Rias on my way out .... heh ... I told her that he was pathetically weak and would never be strong. And just having a Red Dragon won't make him strong.

And I went back to my apartment where I live with Akeno. Who did not want to live alone in the temple. Because she had bad memories of losing her mother. From there.

After that, I didn't show up at the club for a week. And after Rias apologizes several times .... I came back.

And despite my conversation about Issei's strength. He still didn't practice, just boasted about how strong he is because he has a dragon. Pathetic.

However, when a few days later I went hunting for a stray devil. Together with the whole group.

I went in first ... Akeno followed me. And then all the rest.

(Nero)-Strange ... I can't sense anyone here.

That's when I heard Akeno fall unconscious to the floor.

My surprise deepened when I noticed Yutto hit Akeno's hilt, knocking her out.

(Nero)-Yutto...Why???

He didn't answer, but he looked at me as an obstacle ... it hurt.

But before I turned my head the other way. Rias hit me in the stomach with a ball of destruction. And Koneko corrected me by kicking my head.

And as the blood trickled from my head, I struggled to lift my head up and looked into the eyes of my former goddess.

(Nero)-Rias...W...Why?

(Rias)-Sorry, Nero .... I really don't want to do this ... really ... But your turret can give Issei more power ... And I ... you know.

(Rias)-I have to take it from you.

And then something broke inside me. She whom I adored. She chose to kill me ... instead of fucking training ... fucking ... she could send him to a camp in the underworld ... I don't know ... and she chose to cheat on me ... fucking bitch.

And then I started laughing, spitting blood out at the same time ...

(Nero)-Hahaha...Fuck....You really ... chose his ... that fucking cheap Riser ....haha....Even if you gave him all your figures, he won't be stronger anyway ... And you ... I loved you .... I adored ... fucking ... And you ... whatever ... I hate the sight of you ... will excuse Akeno from me .... And you will say that I love her ... And you Issei ... will kill you ... if she survives ... to make you regret ... you will ask me to killed....

I didn't even finish the sentence when Issei slightly scared my bloody appearance. And pissed off at my words. Dragon Shoot fires right at me. I was already on the verge of death, so I think he made it.

In fact, right now, I am in the wilderness right now.

I have been here for two days ... noticeably ... And I am surrounded by a rocky desert .... The sky is always black and without stars .... And one source of light are two red moons.

Right now he is headed to the only thing I can see ... In a place a few kilometers away. I can see a black palace surrounded by lots of facilities. At this distance, I don't know what it is. But one fragment looks like a dragon's wing exposed to the sky. And it hasn't been moving for several hours ... nwm ... But this land of the dead is exceptionally empty.
