True High School DxD

Volume 1 Prologue

The colour of his armor is the same...

That was what I thought when I looked at my bloodied hand.

His crimson armor is more brighter than red and raspberry.

Yeah, the colour of his beautiful dragon crimson armor is the same as on my hand...

Hyoudou Issei; that's my name, though my parents, friends, girlfriends, and everyone at school just call me 'Ise'. Being at the peak of my youth, I am a third-year high school student currently deliberating over my future career path. I attend a private high school called Kuoh Academy. There were times when my juniors would say "That guy, isn't that Issei?" about me, but I wasn't sure how popular I was among my juniors. Well, thinking back upon it, I guess you could say that I got pretty famous since I enrolled because of the lecherous things that I did in my first year. There was even a time when I would go peek into the girls' kendo club room. It surely was the peak of my youth. As a result of the perverted things that I did along with Matsuda and Motohama, rumours were still being spread throughout the school. If things continued like this, it looked like those rumours would continue to spread until my graduation... No, even after I graduate, it will still continue...

—And now that I have talked about my perversion, it's time to reveal my true identity. To be honest, I am a Devil. I'm serious, no, it's true. Please believe me. The Devils I'm talking about are those 'Devils' that you see in legends or manga. The ones that are summoned through a magic circle, hear their summoner's wish and take their soul in exchange for their wish to be granted... Well, Devils that seek souls are pretty rare nowadays though. Around autumn last year — I died as a human. It was at that time when I met a Pure-Blooded High-class Devil— Rias Gremory, I was reborn as I received an [Evil Piece] from her to become a Devil and was given a second life (?) as a [Reincarnated Devil]. Thinking about it, it might have been a tall hurdle for a seventeen-year-old to start a second life, but I unexpectedly managed to accept it promptly as I started to get used to Devils' jobs and aimed to be promoted to a High-class Devil! Why did I want to become a High-class Devil, you say?

It's obvious, isn't it!? High-class Devils can build their own harems, you know!? I'd make every beautiful girl my servant in order to form my own harem! —And, one year had passed since I lustfully chased after my dream, fully embracing the perverse thoughts that filled my mind. And now, currently, I am—.

"Ah~, there's no end to this..."

I sighed as I struggled with the tall stack of papers that rested upon the desk I sat at.

"Ise-sama, about the request from Sasaki-san—"

—And, I received a job report from my [Bishop] servant, Ravel Phoenix. A beautiful blonde-haired Devil, whose hair was styled such that two ringlets hung down vertically! She was my manager in all aspects, as well as my servant.

"Ise, there's a call from Morisawa-san—"

The next person who gave me a report was the tomboyish Xenovia Quarta. She was also my servant, a [Knight].

"The newly designed brochure has been delivered by the company that we asked."

The third person who gave me a report was a lovely woman with long silver hair — Rossweisse-san. A former Valkyrie who had become my [Rook] servant. As I received those reports from the girls, I gave my instructions in the same order.

"Do this with Sasaki-san, I'll personally contact Morisawa-san later and the latest brochure will be confirmed in the meeting that's one hour away."

As I instructed them—
