In DxD: Reborn As a Gamer

Chapter 8: Chapter 7: Five Hundred Years Too Early!



Library

When being reincarnated into the world of DxD; I envisioned myself to be a few years behind canon, if my body's age told me anything. I, of course, was terribly mistaken.

While I entered the depths of the vast Library and Archives of the Satanachia clan; I took the opportunity to skim through old scriptures and documents written down by grandfather, there wasn't any harm.

It could possibly even give detail to some family skills; but fate had different plans.

Passage 1

No one truly knows how the war started, Angels? Doubtful, odds are that the filthy crows ignited this idiotic conflict. It mattered little now, the Six houses of Lucifer have already been summoned for a meeting

Tensions are high, there was no choice for refusal or opportunity to compromise with the other races; the domineering letter by Lucifer wasn't so subtle about it. 

I fear that while war is all but officially announced; it is soon to begin. All I hope is that my child stays out of it.

Horror struck me, each document or passage written by grandfather was recorded in chronological time. The fact that it was located in the "Past hundred year section" meant one single thing.

I wasn't born a day or two before canon; nor was I even close to the storyline, I was born a full five hundred years before the main course of events even had the chance of happening.

I gnashed my teeth, with just one document the pressure upon me increased; possible routes and plans to assure my path to war all but crumbling down.

While nobody else held an inkling, I knew the horrific fact that Devil Civil War would begin; while I didn't specifically know the exact time period or how long I had until then. It was only a matter of time before then.

Ohhh~ things are getting good. Not even I expected this little twist.

Clenching my fist, I could only bitterly swallow a single fact; hell would be thrown into chaos. Under different circumstances, I would've chuckled; but a sense of impending doom and dread began to invade my heart.

With even more vigor and determination; my speed increased twofold as I skimmed through the entire library for a clue, anything really, to my Clan's magic.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as well as I had hoped they would.

Eye twitching in frustration; a loud groan of exasperation left my throat. None of the documents explained anything touching on the subject of Power of Dream, only leaving a trail of bits of the history behind it and what it specialized in.

While I did love reading the history behind it, I would've loved it more if it gained me any skills.

Apparently, thePower of Dream was most specialized in infiltration and intelligence gathering, going into the dreams of other people and gaining information from enemy lines.

One ability I did learn about was called Dream Walker that allowed the user to physically hop between dreams and leave them, it acted as if the enemy was carrying a weightless package the entire time.

The user could leave at any time and kill their enemy.

Just this ability had me scavenging through the entire library for any other mention of the skill, I could only begin grasping at the power and began drawing questions, what other skills were there? 

What place did the Satanachia clan hold among the others? What was the situation regarding the rebels?

Walking down the long shelves, I desperately searched for answers only to growl as I pulled a book with a title called "Gentleman's Etiquette" I tossed it away as I continued on.

Eventually, I found myself sitting on a pile of books, my face leaning onto my clenched fist as I frowned before looking around.

Now wasn't the time to mope about skills, despite the fact I was born in one of the strongest clans I couldn't leave out the obvious Gamer System and the mere fact that I possess it is troublesome.

The power to transcend all beings? To get a 100% accurate strength reading of a being? 

To rip apart dimensions and learn all skills in known existence and even create those never thought of? It would be a miracle if even God wasn't interested.

Ignoring the pain that throbbed in my head, due to the mention of the name; my eyes glanced everywhere, using the observe at each angle.

[Observe leveled up!]

[Observe leveled up!]

Because I was in a library, the most common item that was observed was a book, along with shelves. 

I gave a sharp sigh, there wasn't any way to figure out if I was being watched, my skill level wasn't that high so it was no wonder.

+1 WIS for surprising the Gamer System; congrats, you're not a dumbass

.…

Anyways, I couldn't be sure I wasn't being watched so I couldn't blatantly access the Gamer system like Observe; my best bet would be to merely wait until I was of age to roam around freely but that was too much time before then.

Seeing no other choice, I dug deeper into the memories of the previous owner. It was like trying to remember something you've never done before or have experienced; it was an uncomfortable and weirdly nostalgic feeling.

The one word he would use to describe Tsuki would be... loner.

After being the cause of his mother's death by birth, he was shunned by his father and brother, leaving him all alone with only the maids to take care of him. 

He lived a life where he found no love and could only use the comfort of books to pass the time.

In his world, Tsuki could only be described as a genius, self taught, highly perceptive, terrifyingly intelligent, and knowledgeable. 

But to the devils, it was only expected of him, and that only made him wonder how Rias ended up how she did.
