What truly happens after Death, the majority just say you go either to Heaven or Hell, some say you get to be reborn as a different person, but very few truly believe that Death...Is the only the beginning. No one really knows what the answer is, but perhaps that is the greatest joy of life, the not knowing. Maybe that is why some people try to smile with their final breaths or is it to hide the fear of what lies beyond the world of the living. Having a smile is as pure as Death itself, both perfectly natural and can be used as a mask to see what really is going on behind the scenes. Hyoudou Issei is a typical teenager living the peak of his youth. The only downside being that he was a massive pervert and was considered the leader of the perverted trio, but if only they knew that wasn't even the surface of who Hyoudou Issei really was. During his date with Yuma in which it ended with him dying instead of being revived into a Demon, a new path is open to him...One that he never would ever thought he would take. Will the brown haired boy be able to survive this new life he has been granted and show the world what he's really like or will he find that there is fate far worse than Death.

In an alternate universe where fate dealt a cruel hand, Issei Hyoudou awakened his Boosted Gear at the mere age of ten, not through curiosity or lust, but through blood, loss, and vengeance.

Now, as he walks the path of power and destruction, rejecting coexistence with devils and rejecting even the notion of peace, his journey is one of domination. But beneath the rage and hatred lies a question that haunts his every step-will his path forever be painted in crimson, or can the light still reach a boy destined for more than just war?

After being berated by his friends and then listening them bad mouth him behind his back issei decides to leave. He returns an year later stronger than before. He also decides to never love again. But can a certain blonde witch change that? Find out.
