Chapter 1

Villain character always intrigued me. What is their story? How could someone clearly do something so evil is not repulsed by their own action? Why did they do something the way they did it? What pushed them to do it? Is there really no other way to complete their dream?

There is one villain character that can answer my entire question and still leave me wanting. His name is Thanos from MCU. In my personal opinion, he is the greatest villain of all time, aside from that one villain from Black Panther. In fact, if seen from a different angle, he could look like a hero. Imagine that your entire race is living on an overpopulated planet, not enough food, and near depleted resource. How could your entire race survive the next millennia? Thanos provides an answer to that, but his solution is rejected by his peers. Then they all died, leaving Thanos as the sole survivor. Burdened with guilt, he made sure that no other race died like his. Thus began his quest for infinity stones.

There is a good reason I am talking about villain character. A very good reason indeed.

That is because I have been reborn as Diodora Astaroth, that one NTR bastard that somehow managed to seduce maybe ten nuns. He is a sadistic bastard that breaks them like useless toys.

But seriously, being reborn is a big deal for me. Because I am Muslim, and yes I still believe in God.

Here comes pain…AAAAARRRGGGGHH...

It is very inconvenient being a devil. I can no longer pray to above without unbearable headache accompanying. Even doing ablution before praying burned my skin. Not to mention that a dead person is not supposed to be reborn. There is a saying that 'you only live once' after all.

I am distracting myself, you say? Of course, I do! Hmm, you want to know why? I am trying to hide from my mother. Lady Astaroth is a very scary mother when seeing me hurt, especially from my so-called idiotic action. I mean what kind of devil that is stupid enough to pour holy water to their skin? You are currently talking to that idiot. I have a need woman! I have a need to talk with my probably dead great-great-great-great-grandpa in heaven and complain about his discrimination to his great-great-great-great-grandson. Also, another complaint to my dead grandpa, why did you make Gabriel looks so S_E_XY? Are you purposely trying to make it easier for an angel to fall? (Another concept I despise. Angel is supposed to be a perfect being. According to my religion, there is no such thing called fallen angels.)

Astaroth family is one of the 72 pillars of hells, one of the current 33 families that survive from civil wars. My big bro is supposed to be the heir, but he can not because of his current position as one of the four great Satan. Because of that my father and mother get intimate with each other, resulting in me being born. So, I was chosen as the heir.

Great, right?

Unfortunately, being heir come with an expectation, expectation that my big bro raised so high that my father expected me to recite the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise when I was two years old. How would you expect a baby that never even seen the movies recite that? Granted, I may exaggerate a little, but he still expects me to talk fluently at that age. I only managed to do it when I was near three years old, but my father still looks disappointed at me.

I now understand the reason the original Diodora hated his own brother and affiliated with the old devil faction. If I am not used in disappointing gaze, I probably will also choose someone that appreciates me. Thankfully, I have a meta-knowledge that convinced me to never make a contact with Salba Beelzebub and Khaos brigade in general. I am rambling again, aren't I?

”I found you, my little Diodora!”

”AHAHAHAHAHA! N-No! Mother! AHAHAHA-Please don't tickledoesn'tHAHAHAHA!” I will curse the day I was born with very s_e_n_s_i_t_i_v_e skin that tickle from mother makes me laughing so hard that I can hardly breathe. I can't handle this! My previous mother is never embarrassing me like this! How can anyone deal with this?!

”I will only stop when you promise me to apologize to your father for making him waiting for you alone in the library, my sweet little Diodora.”

”AHAHAHAHA-Okay Mother! I-AHAHAHAHA-promise!”

She smiled at me, stopping her assault on my poor stomach. Why is my skin so s_e_n_s_i_t_i_v_e to tickle? What kind of evolutionary path that does devil take to produce such skin? Truly, devil is really a bunch of weirdoes.

”Honestly, Diodora, why are you hiding from your father lesson? I am sure he only thinks about what is best for you.”

”NO! Father never wanted me! He only wants me to be like big bro!”

As far as I can tell, father wants me to be replacement heir. He wants someone with similar capability to grow like big bro. I still can remember his disappointed gaze when see that I have smaller demonic energy than my big bro when we are at a similar age. Frankly speaking, I am nothing compared to my big bro.

”Diodora, he is worried that you will not be strong fast enough to handle our politic. As our kind respect power more than anything else, to be seen as weak heir will make your life far harder than it should. So, can you please make up with him?”

There is some truth in her word. While I can blame father for the emotional turmoil he gives me, I cannot blame him to be worried about his son future. There is also the truth that as a five-year-old devil, it is very easy for an assassin to kill me. So with a pout, I replied her with a simple ”I will.”

”Now now, don't be sad my little Diodora. No sons of mine will have a permanent frown on their lips! Here, let me help you smile!”

”Ouch! Mother! Don't pull my cheek like that! My cheek is not that stretchy! Ouch! Don't! Stop that!” As usual, my resistance is useless in the face of lady Astaroth, my mother.

I always wonder what is Astaroth bloodline ability that allows Ajuka Astaroth, my big bro, to be as strong as Sirzechs Gremory that has an ability that could destroy anything. Turn out his Kankara formula is a derivative that comes from Astaroth bloodline ability, Thought Acceleration. My big bro developed his final variation that allows an uncountable equation to the be processed at insane speed and probably do various other things. Simply put, he is a walking super magical computer that makes great mathematicians looks like a toddler in comparison.

Thought Acceleration is an ability that could increase the speed of information processed by our brain through the help of demonic power. It allows me to slow down my perception time that the world is seen as a slow moving video. But just because I can see an attack with this ability doesn't mean that I can dodge it. Do you know how frustrating is it to see a punch that you know is coming but you can't do anything about it? I now know what Sasuke feels when he is sparing with Lee at the chunnin exam.

You might ask what I am doing to receive a punch faster than my movement speed. There is a very good reason for it, and that is survival. You see, I never read DxD light novel, and only see the anime until the second season while only seeing some glimpse of season three. Everything I know about DxD comes from fandom wiki and fanfiction, but there is always a common theme in the recent fanfiction. The Trihexa, the beast of the apocalypse that took almost all the one above power to seal, will be released from its seal somehow. From what I know, there will be too much sacrifice just to seal it back. Not to mention the mess that was created by the Khaos Brigade.

I am not the kind of person that can relax when I knew that my life is on the countdown. So I asked my father close combat and magic instructor. Father agreed, happy to know that I am taking the initiative to get stronger. Fun stories, a day after my confession to my mother, father apologized for making me sad, and his disappointed gaze is getting fewer as time progress. I am unsure how to feel about that.

”Young master, it is time for the magic lesson.” It's my mother personal butler and guard, Reynolds. He has been serving my mother even before her marriage to my father. He is a master of hand to hand combat and Touki.
