High School DxD: Graves Ascension

In a world dominated by ancient power and rigid hierarchies, Francis Graves-a hardened and jaded soldier of the Gremory Peerage-dreams of more than servitude. Scarred by the death of his best friend and disillusioned by the devil politics that treat him and his comrades as expendable "attack dogs," Francis sets his sights on carving a path to independence.

Leading a misfit team of underdogs-the brilliant tactician Shay Tanaka, the unshakable brawler Colt Walker, the enigmatic healer Ivy Beaumont, the brash speedster Tobias Lane, the eager mage Aurora Lin, and the unpredictable shadow wielder Dante Crowe-Francis builds a peerage like no other. Each member carries scars of rejection and ambition for something greater, but their unity is tested by powerful forces that conspire to keep them in their place.

When tensions with the Gremory Peerage reach a breaking point, Francis must make a daring choice: remain under the thumb of the devils who look down on them or defy tradition and claim the title of King in his own right. As rival factions close in and loyalties are questioned, Francis's journey becomes a battle not just for survival, but for respect, freedom, and the right to lead.

Will Francis rise to become a legend, or will his rebellion be crushed under the weight of an unforgiving world?

"Graves Ascension" combines intense battles, complex relationships, and the high stakes of ambition in a gripping tale of defiance and destiny.
