Grunting and panting assaulted my weak ears, muffled through the blood and gore that came with me from the womb. Quietly trying to asses the situation I am in and plan for the future.
While I was lost in though, a newbie mistake truly.
IT came, with such power that makes nuclear bombs look like kids toys, it pales into comparison with big bang itself. Truly the most heinous pain that sets man down the path of sin and destruction.
*SLAAAAP*
And it unleashed the dam of pure chaos, my wails so loud you would think I was trying to kill the nurse that slapped my ass, and I was. No matter how many times this happens it makes me traumatized.
I then got cleaned up with a warm towel and passed to my mother. She has a weird and distinct heartbeat, powerful yet caring. I don't just mean powerful as in character but actual power, supernatural in origin it seems.
I open my eyes and try my best to see my mother, I see her truly beautiful and pleasing to the eye face, unnaturally symmetrical and almost unrealistic.
I go through my countless memories to identify this woman.... Venelana Gremory! Seems like I was born in the franchise Highschool DXD, or Devils Peerage as it was called in another reality.
This is a welcome surprise, I know the universe and honestly I needed a vacation life.
"Your name will be, Airen" said my mother, a good name. I am pretty sure it means 'mountain of strength' in Hebrew. So I smiled and giggled at her, I liked the name, so I made sure she knew as well.
"It's a nice name my love" said my father in a deep and playful voice.
After that I got passed to my father, which he then proceeded to fool around with me and I took that as a que to doze off. I was tired from trying myself to crawl out of the womb, babies do it unconsciously when the time comes but I put extra effort into it resulting into me having almost no energy to be awake.
---4 Hours Later---
I was woken up when I got assaulted by intense hunger, I was inside an infant hospital crib next to a maid, which seemed to be humming me a song. It was hard to distinguish figures with my weak eyes even if this devil physiology had insane advantages, human children at most can see up to 8-10 inches, while right now I can see up to 23 inches, a major racial advantage off the bat.
Right, you must be asking who am I? Well, I go by many names, many nicknames, many titles and other identifiers. I guess currently I would be Airen, I am someone that has lived too much for life to matter anymore. I am over my depression stage but I am still looking for ways to die, everything I've tried in the past just doesn't work, I am hoping in this world where laws of magic and science are looser than baby shit I can achieve complete destruction of my soul. Here is the fun part about people who claim that they can destroy a soul. They can't. Most magic that targets the soul out there actually works on what I like to call "the psyche", it's what everyone thinks the soul is, even gods who rule over death in their respective universe and can mess up with souls just mess up with your psyche.
I might still affect my psyche and even get the classic "memory cleanse", but when I die? I reincarnate with my complete memories, every pico-second, every smell, every feeling, every thought, of those past long 25 lives can be instantly recalled.
What was my first life you might ask? I was a professional reviewer and editor for a multitude of written expressions of fiction. Coupled with my obsession on the subject I was bordering an "otaku", at least it made me money.
I was hired a couple times to read through scripts of famous Hollywood movies down to giving free tips to new novel creators in forums, I am thankful that I was so obsessed with that form of media because it turns out the next forms of my life where centered around those works of fiction.
What where some of the worlds I existed in? I was in the classical 'Hero vs Demon lord' medieval magic world which I later identified it to be "The Guild Member with a Worthless Skill Is Actually a Legendary Assassin", the DC Universe, world's where humanity has colonized galaxies, and even some Cultivation world which I have not read before. These worlds have given me more than enough time to master pretty much anything life has to offer. From science to magic to communication skills and everything in between I have dabbled on them before. Most of those universes gave me a longer life than I knew what to do with, and in most I just focused on researching magic and science on how to destroy the soul. Through my experiences I have learned that science, magic theory, combat and philosophy are almost universal no matter the reality.
That however made be in the sketchiest parts of those universes, simply most people would not easily supply my 'questionable at best' requirements, that was easily circumvented however by building criminal empires or being the governments sugar daddy.
With my knowledge on the "psyche" and my vast experience in combat from people such as Ras Al' Ghul, who trained me to be his protege but failed to put me under his subpar hypnosis and mind arts, to other obscure assassination organizations and people which I was trained under. Thus leading me to grabbing people who no one knew existed, heavily modifying their DNA, and blasting them with around 3000 years of assassination experience and training. Then putting them to train on the art for a year or two by taking cheap requests and also building reputation.
Immoral? Yes, but morals simply do not exist in most of these worlds, if power is THAT absolute there is no need to shackle others, if you are some pent up cultivator who can blast mountains why not r@pe that beautiful village girl? There isn't anyone to stop you, I learned it the hard way. Protagonists don't make the world brighter, and even if they do it will be in their own little corner.
Most of my knowledge of biology comes from what I later on identified as the "My Hero Academia" Universe, I was born there before quirks where public knowledge during their World Wars, and I pulled a Umbrella Corporation on them, I named my company the same too!
Coupled with my vast experience and skills it was easy to dominate the market and remain unnoticed, as well as, putting safety preclusions so I didn't release a world ending virus. Needles to say I got a hefty amount of research done in that universe, heavily dabbled with quirks, identified that most of them rely on a special energy akin to magic in most universes but the way to harness it is through DNA sequences and other factors, I experimented in most of the population by releasing formulas and viruses mostly in food and water, that slowly changed humans there, at one point most of the humans there weren't even humans, their DNA was closer to some humanoid alien species I encountered before, sure "quirks" did like 80% of the changes in humans DNA but I did the rest. In the end they looked humans, spoke human languages, but they where not that close to the humans I have encountered over my lives.
The theory I came up before I killed myself in that universe, was that; we were in someones playground, either some alien overlords or the energy in which quirks worked, I had a hunch that it was sentient, or someone was heavily controlling our evolution. It simply made zero sense, but I was all for it.
Enough stroking my big ego cock, I decided. This will be one of my fun lives, more partying, less brooding, I have already messed up the "plot" by existing and in reality it doesn't matter, putting all your chips in the idea that you know the future is idiotic, that's some wisdom for anyone listening.
Lately I've come to accept the fact that I am probably going to continue with this reincarnation bullshitiry, I might try and find a way to seal the painful memories because even if I have grown numb to the pains of life it's not nice to have them there.
"WAAAAAAAAA" I cried, hungry for my mothers milk, I've done this stitch so many times that I can easily win awards for best baby actor.
As on que the door opened, in came my brother Sirzechs Lucifer, the guy looked just like in the anime, expect you know, more 3D-ish. He said to the maid that he will take care of it and came towards me.
"Are you hungry little guy? Awww~ Boop, let me get you to mom" he said while he booped my nose, I went along with it and giggled, I liked the guy, family across all of my lives is something that I truly cherish and good families are not that common in these fictional type worlds, it's either a shitty family, the best, or being an orphan, not any middle ground whatsoever.
He took me around the castle and I paid great attention, he seemed to notice this and started telling me the history of the castle I was however thinking, 'it's less gloomy looking than I thought and thank god no torches on walls. You will be surprised by how unpractical and edgy castle owners tend to be, might be because they are usually the villains, but the castles are usually gloomy, use torches that light up when you enter for eerie atmosphere even though there are better alternatives, and every other characteristic edgy bullshit you can think of, but almost always impractical.
We enter a room and there I see my mom, she was reading something but stopped and looked up, her face broke into a smile and I couldn't help but smile as well.
God I will love this life..
Should I do the classical timeskip or more of the years and inner monologue on planning and similar?
