"Will you go out with me?" asked the cute girl. "Hell no," he answered, for Issei was not born without common sense. Cute or fugly, stalkers are far more dangerous than strangers. Then his life started to steadily barrel down the hill from that freak encounter.
In a world where talented youths enroll at Lucifash Academy of the Arcane to first polish their skills so they can be noticed by their Rating Games senpais, a savant Issei got dragged into dealing with bullshit issues as fate tends to be a bitch. Like his mother. But hey, at the very least, he could chill out with his university buddies between issues.
While this Universe didn't take the cake for the most absurd one on record, it was close. But he'd be damned if he let it stop him from wishing for a normal problem, because it was getting difficult to believe he was ever needed in this place at all.
There could be a million others, pure of blood or reincarnated, but there are no other devils like him. Only him.
Jaded and disillusioned by his enforced and glorified role as a World Guardian, he returned to the where it all began, because forsaking the future to create a better one from scratch is totally justifiable when everything has gone to shit. The same stage, same old actors and new... Too bad nearly nothing stayed the same.
Once upon a time, a Primordial entity bullied the Biblical God and completely derailed the original plot of DxD and freaked out all living gods. (SlightlyAU DxDxFate)
It's Highschool DxD: Slice of Life. The story follows a somewhat ordinary high school life of Hyoudou Issei, one of the few hundred humans in a peaceful world dominated by non-human species, who happens to stumble into things and interesting individuals in his search for a purpose.
Hell is hell. A desolate, war torn wasteland ravaged by perpetual chaos. Earth becomes the last sanctuary for the broken. One sanctuary specifically belongs to Hyoudou Issei; a totally normal guy who just sorta stumbles into abnormal things, somehow ending up becoming the physiological crutch for the broken. (Obviously AU)
