A young boy tossed in his bed. A sharp pain ran through his arm as he woke up. He clutched his forearm in a desperate attempt to ease the pain he felt.

Seeing no better alternatives, and the fact that he wouldn't get back to sleeping, he decided to go for a walk and get some fresh air.

He left the orphanage and walked deep into the forest. For what seemed like an eternity he wandered through the dense wood, stepping over sticks and roots, before finally arriving at a large, abandoned building

The building was huge and extremely run down. He was intrigued of course, but he wasn't stupid. He wasn't going in.

Or at least, that's what he told himself.

As he looked for a way in, just to know that there was one, he found a door, stained with blood, and half-open.

Now he had to go in, how could he not? Someone was in danger, and he couldn't just leave them to die. So in he went, with his pocket knife at the ready in case he was attacked.

He slowly opened the door, and saw a large puddle of blood on the flood.

"They were dragged, no, they dragged themself"

As the boy inspected the scene, he heard the loud sound of extremely loud footsteps approaching

"Such a wonderful smell~ Is it bitter or sweet I wonder?"

Y/n sneaked towards the source of the sound. It led him to a large room, where a woman was visible high up, though half of her body was shrouded in shadow, the naked half wasn't

The woman saw him and edged out of the shadows, revealing a monstrous lower half. She had four massive, arm like legs with razor-sharp claws on every one of them, she also had a long snake as a tail

"Y'Know, I was kinda hoping my first monster would be something cool like a centaur and not some gross chimaera reject"

What the thing did next was truly horrifying. She grabbed her breasts and started groping herself. Red symbols appeared in front of her breasts and launched lasers towards Y/n. Despite his attempts, he was hit by the acid as it splashed on the ground.

The acid burned through his arm as he screamed in agony. As he began to pass out he collapsed, and the las  thing he heard was

"Viser you wretch, you Betrayed your master and ran away to fulfil you own lustful wants and desires that have consumed you, your sins are worth a thousand hells. In the name of the great marquee of Gremory, bgone or meet your death!"

With what little consciousness he had left, Y/n had one last thought

'Gremory? Where have I heard that name?'

Y/n woke up the next day in a hospital with a cast on his right arm, there was little pain, but he had lost most feeling in it, probably due to painkillers.

"Ah, you're awake"
"The hell happened to me?"
"Your friend carried you in last night, you had severe acid burns on your arm, but apart from that you're fine"
"How bad are the burns?"
"Unfortunately the damage was already done by the time you got here, so there wasn't much we could do. Your arm's going to have a lot of scars, but you should regain feeling and control in time"

"Shit"

After two days in hospital, Y/n was finally allowed to leave, and on the third day, he set of to school with a mission:

Find out what the hell happened that night

Luckily for him, he had two leads

Rias Gremory, the "Queen" of the school and a transfer student, also the leader of the Occult Research Club.
