(Read bottom of "Chapter 1: Fate's a Cruel Thing" over on Rising from the Ashes for info on the hiatus)
Ryuji Tamaiya is a sixteen-year-old who's lived his life in a living Hell on Earth. However, he is a master of the art of all swords. He's mastered Kendo, Iaido, Fencing, Kenjutsu, and Haidong Gumdo. He has mastered a few hand-to-hand combat abilities like American Boxing and Kickboxing, and Karate. His family think of him as a failure and constantly attack him and berate him despite him being a very intelligent and talented teen. He also seems to have an inherently above average strength, speed, stamina, and durability than others. He also has an above average sense of touch, smell, hearing, and sight. Along with this, he has an outstanding ability that is like a sixth sense that warns him of danger before it happens, like a spider-sense. On top of all this, he also has an outstanding ability to balance himself on nearly all surfaces and has great extensive knowledge on poisons as he has built an impervious immunity to curses and poisons.
Along with this, he gains instant sword abilities and techniques from his favorite characters that use them. Such as: Sasuke Uchiha, Tanjiro Kamado, Itachi Uchiha, Meliodas, and Asta.
In Kuoh Academy, there exists a new student, a recent transfer to Kuoh Academy starting in his second year. He is an average student with caramel brown hair and golden eyes, flying under the radar and doing what he can to live a simple, peaceful life. Away from whatever troubles intend to come his way and disturb his beloved, ever-so-sought-after "Peaceful Life-chan". This student, is Issei Hyoudou, a known accomplice to the duo, many of the girls of Kuoh High, have dubbed the "Pervert Duo".
However, it is after the arrival of this new student, that things begin to go awry. The two Peerages that run the school behind the scenes have a new concern, an unknown entity chasing a boy who just wants to be left alone. The board has been shifted and an unknown player has set the table.
Along with troubles rumbling throughout the Human world, there are rumblings of something troubling in the Supernatural World as well. The Red Dragon Emperor has returned.
A note:
This is a Highschool DxD Fanfiction with influence from COTE, I'm currently rewatching DXD for the first time in a long time, so information may be wrong or skewed. This fanfiction will closely follow the plot of the Original Highschool DXD, following the canon chain of events (With chapter 1 being Episode 1 of Highschool DXD), however with some obvious changes. I will do my best to keep it together and avoid plot holes and issues.
All criticism and advice is welcome. This is my first fanfiction, so understand it might not be the best.
