Thanks for reading!
We hit 1mil views(lol)
Here's a short chapter!
As for opening up a pa.tre.on or a k.o/fi, I'll think about that later.
Sure, the support from it would be super-duper nice, but I think I'll focus on updating first.
So in the meantime... can we move the goal post to maybe like 1.5 to 2mil? haha...?
Also, I heard that the DxD browser game 'Paradise Infinity' ads are getting banned for a while in the UK.
I mean, the game's pretty meh, but banning the ads...?
Not trying to get all political when talking about another country, but the UK has way more pressing issues that need handling than some meh anime browser game.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

-The Inter-Dimensional Body Manipulation Space-
The world went quiet as I looked at my figure before me.
I could see everything, my veins, my cells, my DNA strands... Everything.
I could see every 'System' of the Human Body at will, endocrine, respiratory, nervous, reproductive, cardiovascular, muscular, integumentary, lymphatic, skeletal, circulatory, immune, urinary--- even excretory.
All of them.
With all the modifications going on, it felt like I was going into Body Supremacy territory. Like I was some scrawny kid named Luthor who found the method to hack biology itself to put himself way past the likes of a Peak Human physique.
And now? I was about to hack mine.
Firstly, I ramped up and tweaked my metabolism to the point where I could digest and process literally anything for energy or Magic.
I could overdose on Junk food, poison, detergent, bleach, and even drain cleaner altogether and burp lemon-scented freshness if I wanted.
My stamina would regenerate insanely fast. No fatigue, and no burnout unless I went against someone way stronger than me, which would cause me to overexert myself.
But even then, my body would compensate to deal with that.
What do you call it again... Oh, Autophagy(but anime sci-fi bull version)!
The next step was to fiddle with my telomeres and the process of senescence.
Now, as I'm playing with DNA, I have to be gentle when dealing with my chromosomes, as I have to get past those to reach the telomeres at the end.
Thing is, telomeres were like caps on DNA strands that grew shorter and shorter with every division, acting like a sort of biological clock of a human's aging lifespan
---Like the wick on a candle burning down until you collapsed into senilehood and eventually, death.
Just like the lobster, the hydra, and the jellyfish that possess biological immortality in theory, whose telomerase constantly repairs their DNA strands until they run out of energy, leading to death, I had gained this at an even accelerated fashion.
That being said, I wouldn't have it kick in now.
Ever watched Interv*ew with a Vamp*re? Or even H*ghlander?
There's characters in those who are stuck at a juvenile body, and let me tell you, it isn't pretty.
But can you shapeshift or change your appearance with your abilities?
Yes, but once again, my friend, the Occam's Razor comes into play.
Like my teachers in my previous life would say; K.I.S.S
---Keep, It, Simple, Stupid.
Basically, it would probably kick in once I hit around my late twenties to mid-thirties.
And finally, I'm gonna tinker with my [Spirit Organ](no, it's not a funny word for my prostate), and then subsume all traits that I got my hands on, along with the syringes of Vampire blood I got from Valerie and Gaspar.
Not just that, but with all the contact with Roygun, I should be seeing more nifty abilities in my repertoire.
Lovely.
Duplicate abilities such as Hypnosis and an enhanced physique, which I already have, would be combined with those I currently have, and for the new abilities...
[Animal Transformation & Darkness manipulation]
I love it. Makes me feel like Dracula's son, dashing through the castle halls.
Honestly, I wanted to copy a certain comic book series with a hero that gets beaten up so much his blood breaks the fourth wall and splatters on the title card of his series, but it seems that it might take a bit too much time for me to get there right now.
Bah. No matter. Slow and steady wins the race.
I exhaled slowly as I placed my finishing touches.
And eventually, it was time to get back to life, and back to reality.
"Alright. Let's go."

-Michinaga Mansion Secret Lair-
When the glow finally fizzled out, and my body adjusted to what seemed to be hundreds of years of evolution in just a few seconds, I simply sat there, breathing slowly.
And then it hit me.
That near-death-growth factor of mine... I'd just upped the limits on how much ass-whopping I'd need to tank before it could kick in.
"…Which means…" I muttered, rubbing my chin, "…I'm gonna need to get into fights with people way stronger than me to test this out."
Nothing like planning for near-death situations as a weekend hobby.
I stood, walking out of the ritual circle, the air around me heavy with residual energy itself. My body felt lighter, my mind felt clearer... Even my ass felt tighter.
Like every part of me was humming at supernatural efficiency.
The mirror in the workshop then caught my reflection: a body slightly more toned, but overall still me.
"Wait a minute..." I tilted my head. "So… no shirtless glow, no diamond sparkly skin?"
I stepped closer, squinting under the dim light. "Did the Moonlight movies lie to me? Not even a sparkle? I guess it's closer to the Dhampir Dairies instead, huh?"
Still, there was something. The air felt… different. Like I was radiating something subtle. Even without trying, I gave off a kind of aura that tugged at the senses. Enchanting, magnetic, like crazier pheromones designed for receptors human shouldn't even have.
"Vampire physiology, I guess." I muttered with a small chuckle. "Guess I'm ultra-weaponized attractive now."
"Watch out, showbiz! My debut dominance is imminent!"
The best part? All of this slotted perfectly into my arsenal.
My Sacred Gear, [Chaos Labyrinth Crown], was already a beast on its own. And adding the vampire's ability to control mist and animals?
I think I'm gonna fiddle with my Labyrinth and put some monsters up in there.
"Time to clean up. I can't leave this place looking like Doctor Frankenstein's study." I tidied the scattered papers, straightened a few vials, and reset the circle's glow to dormant.
With that done, I grabbed a white shirt and brown pants and made for the stairway with the secret door grinding shut behind me.
By the entrance stood Sadako, my ever-so dutiful if not slightly gluttonous ghost maid. The pale ghost maid hovered just where I'd left her, hands folded at her waist, black hair spilling in an eerie curtain with hollow yet watchful eyes.
Looking at her, my freshly modified body felt a little pent up as I took all of her curves in my eyes.
I'm guessing that it's due to a few kinks in the process that gets my body hyper-reactive, but hey, all's well that ends well.
The moment her gaze flicked over me, her brow ticked up ever so slightly. "…bocchan."
"…Yeah?" I asked, already smirking.
"You have such a lecherous gaze... Did you do something crazy..?"
I opened my mouth to answer, but she shook her head before I could.
"…No. You always do something crazy..." Her voice drifted out like a cold breeze through the hall.
I chuckled, brushing past her. "Accurate. But hey, it's productive crazy."
Sadako looked at me with her typical blankness as she followed, floating all the way.
And with that, I walked deeper into the mansion, the weight of new power dancing like a revolution under my skin.
Sadako followed behind me as I was lost in thought.
"…So, Daichi-bocchan," Sadako finally asked, her tone flat as ever, "..What now?"
"Glad you asked." I turned on my heel dramatically, throwing my arms wide like I was announcing a festival. "Tomorrow, we're heading out with Vali and pals. We're picking up a puppy for the group, and Kuroka's gonna tag along as well."
"We're...?" Sadako blinked. "…A puppy?"
"Yes." I said. "So get ready, cuz' you're coming along too."
"Huh..." Sadako tilted her head. "But how do you intend for me to accompany you..? My spirit is bound to this mansion... I cannot stray far from its walls..."
"---besides I like it here..." She then whispered with an almost inaudible voice. Almost.
I smirked. "By this."
I placed a hand on her breast.
-woooom!-
A rush of energy surged out of my hand, as I used my [Spirit Organ], threading straight into her ghostly core, to which I then etched the curse on the mansion to be connected to me instead.
"And... Voila~!"
Sadako stiffened as her eyes widened in shock, with her pale cheeks flushing pink for the first time since… probably ever.
"That's how." I leaned forward with a grin. "Congratulations, Sadako. You're now a portable ghost, and you don't even need a DVD or cassette."
Her flush deepened, and for once she broke her deadpan delivery with a mock frown. "...How perverted. Are you harassing me in the workplace?"
"Yes."
"Hmm." She put a pale finger to her chin, as her expression returned to an unreadable one. "If this is harassment, will I be compensated?"
"Compensated?" I blinked. "With what?"
"Snacks. Junk food. Unlimited bags of chips. Boxes of chocolate. Ice cream. Oatmeal creampies. Sodas." Her hollow voice carried the weight of absolute seriousness.
'Oatmeal pie, you mean.'
"Sure, why not?" I smiled. "But first something needs to happen before you can get all of that compensation."
"Like what?" Sadako tilted her head.
-squeeze!-
I grabbed a handful of some soft, curvy, pale ass as I pulled Sadako closer.
"Hmmnn... I wonder." I said. "But rather than harassment, I like to consider this a bonding exercise between a very kind boss and his busty employees."
This was for science, I think.

Trivia Time! (Againx32!!)
Did you know(ofc)
Human tiiiimmmeeee!!!!
Largely residing in the human world, Humans are the most common species with the largest population in the series. (whaaaaa, no waaaayyyyy)
There are also some Humans who, rather than descendants, have inherited the "Spirits" or "Souls" of deceased Humans, usually heroes and historical figures. Examples of these individuals include Jeanne, Heracles, Perseus, Connla, and several other characters. The exact details of whether this influences their abilities, or how they are aware of being inheritors is unknown.
Due to the Biblical God, Humans are the only species able to be born with Sacred Gears (even if only half-Human), however races such as Fallen Angels from Grigori can steal them from their hosts using a special ritual, resulting in the host's death. Humans who master their Sacred Gears to some extent can defeat High-Class Devils and monsters, on the other hand, those who have Longinus Sacred Gears can potentially fight against God-class beings.
Some rare Humans are born able to wield either Holy or Demonic Swords, which are powerful weapons capable of defeating beings such as High-Ranked Devils and Angels. Based off the swords in question, Humans are also afforded unique abilities, such as Caliburn, which granted Arthur Pendragon spatial manipulation.
It is shown that it is much easier for supernatural beings to have children with Humans other than other supernatural species. Compare all the hybrids like Vali, Akeno, Gaspar etc.
