My life was over. I had so many regrets and so many things I wanted to change. People would remember me as a poor pervert who lucked out. But then, I met three strange people who gave me the power to change my destiny, to reset reality. This story i...
I am Hyoudou Issei, and I'm just your average guy. My parents didn't understand me, and neither did my peers. I often questioned whether my best friends were truly my friends, or if they were only friends with me because we shared the same hobby. Why did I have these thoughts? Could it be because of the spear of light in my gut? Even through all the pain, why did these thoughts persist? Was it because of my destined death, or was it simply a sudden realization?
I was too weak and powerless to stop Yuma. I could have made the excuse that I was only human, but that would have been the coward's way out. It was my stupidity and obliviousness that got me into this situation. My lust, desire, and naivety led me into this situation. Death was near, and I will be its passenger tonight.
I couldn't hear Yuma anymore. But telling by her cocky facial expression, it wasn't anything pleasant. Bullshit is what she was probably sprouting. People like her, I hate the most. The weak just picking on the weak while justifying it. How disgusting!
I see why she is a fallen angel; fitting for an ugly being like herself. My eyes were my weakness, blinded by the beauty of the outside, I was unaware of her ugliness on the inside. Just like an unripe plum, it might look good from the outside, but it was sour and bitter on the inside.
Blood begins to leak from my body, causing a pool around me. My death was inevitable, with no second chances.
Well... That's what I thought.
Barely opening my eyes, I see something... Something distorted... It was a girl; or maybe two?

"Determination, kindness, bravery, justice, integrity, and perseverance. You demonstrate all the qualities required to wield this power. The power to reset, to start over, to have a clean slate. But we aren't the only ones who want to help you," said the two girls in unison. Emerging from the darkness was a skeleton, which initially terrified me. At first, I thought he was the Grim Reaper.

"Greetings," said the strange creature. "Who are you people? And what is going on?" said Issei. The skeleton creature begins to introduce himself first. "My name is W.D. Gaster. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hyodou Issei," said the creature now named Gaster. Next was the girl with the blue sweater that had two purple stripes. "Hello, my name is Frisk. It's nice to meet you, Issei!"Said Frisk before doing a cutesy bow.
"And lastly, there was the girl with the green sweater who had a devilish smirk on her face. "The name's Chara! Got it memorized!?" smirked Chara devilishly. "Oh, hey. Where are we?" said Issei as he stood up. He found himself in a void of nothingness, devoid of all life.
Frisk began to speak: "We are in your subconscious, but even that is deteriorating. Issei... You're dying," said Frisk, frowning. Issei closed his eyes. "Yeah, I know... But what can I do about it? It's just my time, I guess. I just feel bad for Mom and Dad. I'm their only child. And even if they did want other kids, that would be impossible for my mother." stated Issei.
Frisk and Chara begin to smile. "And that's why we here Issei so that you can have another chance in life. All you have to do is push that button.

Once I hesitated, Gaster started to explain to me. "It's up to you, Issei. No one can decide for you. Do you want a second chance in life? To see your parents again? To be a better person?" asked Gaster before putting his hand on Issei's shoulder. Issei looked down, his chestnut hair covering his face, obscuring anyone from seeing his sad expression. "Why me?! I-I'm just some pervert, a useless pervert who is naive and doesn't deserve the parents that I have! I'm not that smart, or particularly good at anything!!? It must be someone in this world who deserves a second chance more than I do! I don't deserve a second chance." screamed Issei while tears started rolling down his cheeks.
Issei's eyes widened when he felt something warm.

Frisk began to hug me tightly. "Don't say that! Issei, you do matter! And just like everyone else in this world, you deserve a second chance just as much as anyone else," cried out Frisk. Issei's eyes widened before his facial expression began to tear up. "Frisk..." said Issei while crying. "Yeah, like Frisk said. Everyone deserves a second chance, especially you," said Chara with a toothy grin on her face.
"Guys," said Issei, wiping the tears from his face. Gaster began to speak. "Issei, the truth is, we saw your future. You did so much; you forgave and showed love to others when they didn't deserve it. Your kindness, integrity, bravery, and perseverance are what made us choose you, Issei Hyodo. You are remarkable. Don't let others' slanders tell you otherwise," said Gaster.
Was I really that great of a person, said Issei. The three nodded their heads.""" Issei Hyoudo you're a hero!""" the three strangers said in unison.
I could see memories of all my future selves. I finally found love and had children with multiple women. I became strong to protect the people I loved and also died trying. I made so many friends and experienced things I never thought I had experienced before... It was all thanks to her, Rias Gremory.
Smiling, I walked up to the RESET button. Both Chara and Frisk walked up to the button with me. "Um, you guys? What are you doing?" I asked curiously.
"They are coming with you," said Gaster as he walked up to me with a purple light in his hand and handed it to me. "What is this?" I asked as I accepted the soul. "This is a piece of my soul. I already gave the other halves to my sons. That means you have some of my powers," explained Gaster.
"Thank you, Gaster-san... I don't know what to say!" said Issei. Gaster just chuckled. "Just promise me you'll look after these two. Well, what are you waiting for? Get moving," said Gaster. Issei looked at both Frisk and Chara. "Are you two ready for a new adventure?" said Issei, smiling.
"Yeah, I'm ready to make new friends," said Frisk. "And I'm ready to explore new things and fight strong opponents," said Chara while pumping her fist in the air. "Okay, let's go!" said Issei.
Issei pressed the reset button

In the Hyoudou residence, there is a picture of four-year-old Issei with his mother holding two baby girls in her arms. This picture was taken just after Issei's mom gave birth. The next picture shows Issei and his twin sisters playing with his childhood friend, Irina. At that time, Issei and Irina were around seven years old, while the twins were four.
