This story is set in the fantasy world of Valeria, were a portion of the population have powers, known in Valeria as 'Skillsets'. People who don't have powers can harness the wisp of magic that normal people can access, but even the most powerful magicians can't beat the most average of skillsets. Although, the magicians can do all sorts of types of skills, that range from water powers to super strength, when Skillsets can only use one, specific type of skill.
Mostly action, adventure, and sarcastic remarks. Although somehow a little bit of romance snuck into here somehow... just a little bit :)
Waking up in the body of a Romani Archiman is acceptable. Getting 3rd and 1st True Magics is nice. Getting Beasts as pets - delightful. The world of DxD is unforgivable. It's a world where some teenagers who aren't even two decades old somehow mystically defeat the descendants of legendary heroes, ancient demons, powerful dragons, etc. Why does this happen? Simply because! Simply put, this world only makes sense because it doesn't. And now, I have to put up with the fact that I live here. Such pain. (DxDxMulti)
