"So, I died right?" the young man asks as he looks at glowing being.
"Yes, seems like you're not surprise at all" It Said.
"Why would I be? It was bound to happen sooner or later. Not that my life was all that great, anyway."
The being circled him for a moment before stopping directly in his line of sight. "Well, since you were righteous enough to save that kid at the bridge, I'm going to give you a second chance."
The young man looked at the being with genuine curiosity.
"Well, what do you say? Shall we get started? Or would you prefer I erase you so you can be free?"
'Hmm maybe the 2nd chance might be better' the man pondered.
"Ok then, now what do you want as your abilities?"
"Wait, I haven't agreed to it yet" the man retorted.
"But you did in your mind so let's not waste time"
"Then wait for a moment I need time... how about sukuna abilities with Maho's adaptation"
The being looks at him and exclaims. "Splendid!! Now enjoy your new journey"
The darkness then surrounds his vision as he falls asleep.
-----
'It's been sixteen years since the reincarnation and one year since I obtained the system.' he then sprawls to the side of the bed. 'Someone who's not familiar with Dxd would've thought this an normal eroge world but but I know better. Good thing I watched a bit of the series otherwise I would've been so cooked... Well since tomorrow would be my 1st day I I'd better get some sleep.'
The next day came and like expected he woke up early and went to school.
'Did any change occur in the system today'
The system then pops up in front of him

'Hmm Still nothing huh' "Well anyway I'm still strong enough to defend myself from any threat though"
Reaching the gates of Kuoh Academy, Meguna looked up at the majestic structure 'This looks better in person than it did on screen'
The female students couldn't help but notice him. His tall, sharp features gave off a menacing yet handsome aura.
"Is he a new transfer student?"
"He looks handsome and scary at the same time."
"Do you think he's single?"
"He's actually on par with Kiba!"
Meguna heard the whispers clearly thanks to his heightened senses. He ignored the distractions and headed inside, catching even more eyes as he walked inside through the academy gate.
At the entrance, a student wearing glasses was waiting for him. "You must be the transfer student Fushi Meguna"
"That I am indeed"
"My name is Tsubaki Shinra, from the Student Council. Follow me to get your class schedule."
In the Student Council office, another girl with short hair and glasses sat at a desk. Her eyes shot up toward him.
"Meguna Fushi you seemed a bit like a delinquent but your academic records...they're almost flawless. Anyways let's cut to the chase My name's souna shitori I'm the president of the student council and the one who brought you here is the vice president I'm sure she already has introduced herself"
"I don't think I need to explain the basic school rules to someone of your intelligence. Your classroom is 2-B." Sona handed him the schedule with a small smile. "Welcome to Kuoh Academy, Mr. Fushi."
Meguna smirked and left without a word. He waited outside his classroom until the teacher gave the signal. As soon as he stepped inside, the room went silent.
With one arm behind his neck, he announced, "The name's Meguna Fushi. That's all you need to know."
A girl raised her hand. "Ma'am, can I ask a question?"
'Did this brat not hear a word I just said?' meguna thought with slight irritation.
"You can each ask one question," the teacher allowed.
'Now that's just great'
The class mostly the girls peppered him with questions about his hobbies, his address, and whether or not he had a girlfriend.
Finally, a boy from the "perverted trio" raised his hand. "What's your type? Do you like big breasts or small ones?"
The girls looked at the boy with total disgust, but Meguna clasped his hands together to get their attention. "Well, if I had to say..."
The room went quiet. Every girl leaned in, curious about his answer.
"I like a tall women with a nice big ass"
The classroom fell into a stunned silence before the whispering started again.
"He's kind of a pervert..."
"Well, even if he is, he's still hot."
Meguna bristled. He didn't like being called a pervert, especially by these girls.
"Hey, we found good looking comrade for our group. Maybe he can help us get girls" Issei says joyfully to his group of friends.
' Who says I'm joining your stupid perverted group' meguna was even more annoyed by that inclusion.
"Mr. Fushi, you can sit at the empty desk to the left of Issei," the teacher instructed.
As Meguna took his seat, Issei tried to introduce himself, but Meguna simply ignored him.
He spent the rest of the class pretending to listen. ' Since this is the start of the story, I should focus on staying relevant. It's probably the best time to start hunting Stray Devils secretly so I don't get power-crept. I need to stay low-profile while I'm still 'weak,' but if I do get caught, I'll just have to fake being strong until I actually am.'
When the bell rang for lunch, girls immediately swarmed his desk. He declined their offers to show him around with cold indifference and took his bento outside. He found a quiet spot under a tree near the old school building the ORC headquarters.
As he ate the meal his mother had prepared, he watched the school grounds. It looked normal enough, save for the sight of Issei being chased by the Kendo Club in the distance.
Without even looking, he could feel the gaze of the crimson-haired girl inside the building, watching him and searching for any trace of a Sacred Gear. As he finished his lunch and turned to leave, the girl withdrew from the window.
'We'll meet soon, Gremory. Just not yet' Meguna thought with a smirk as he glanced back at the spot where she had been standing.
The bell rang again, signaling the end of the school day. Meguna moved quickly, hoping to exit before the girls could swarm him.
And as he was walking the perverted trio then called out to him " Fushi san wait!"
"Fushi-san, wait!"
The trio caught up to him, panting for breath. One of them wheezed, "Hey... you could've at least hung out with us for a bit."
"And why exactly would I stoop to your level?" Meguna asked flatly.
"Hey, don't act like you aren't just as perverted as we are!" Motohama retorted.
A small tick mark appeared on Meguna's temple, though his face wore a sharp, dangerous smile. "Don't lump me in with your stupid shenanigans, brats."
Matsuda, the bald one, took an instinctive step back.
"Hey, hey! We're all guys here, no need to get so tense," Issei interrupted, stepping between them to create some space.
"Hmm..." Meguna let out a long, bored sigh. "What do you guys want, anyway? Be quick about it I haven't got all day."
"Well, we were wondering if you could help us get girls or even help us get a picture of the girls changing room in the kendo club"
Meguna closed his eyes and smiled. Thinking he had agreed to their plan, the Perverted Trio cheered, "I knew we could count on—"
They were cut off instantly. Before they could even register what was happening, all three were knocked unconscious, collapsing in a heap.
"Serves you right," a group of girls muttered as they walked past the pile of boys lying on the ground.
----
Meguna had returned home several hours ago. To pass the time, he watched TV and helped his mother with the chores.
'It's time', he thought as the sun dipped below the horizon. 'Let's see what kind of prey I can find on my first night'. He quietly slipped out of the house and headed toward the Kuoh Forest the best place to find a Stray Devil.
As he prowled through the woods, he heard movement in the brush, but it was usually just small animals. Then a grotesque, beast-like creature emerged from the shadows.
'Finally', he thought. Black markings manifested across Meguna's face, and small, slit-like eyes opened just above his cheekbones. He struck a pose, his fingers twitching.
"Dismantle"
An invisible slash tore through the air, striking the beast.
"You dare attack me, human?! I'll rip you to pieces!" the beast roared. It lunged, its claws inches from his face, but Meguna flickered out of sight, leaping over the creature and landing gracefully behind it.
'Its speed is higher than I expected, but nothing I can't handle'
"Dismantle"
Two more slashes struck the beast, drawing an eerie scream of pain, but the wounds weren't deep. 'Hmm, Dismantle is still too weak to cut all the way through.'

"Now we're talking," Meguna shouts with growing excitement.
He focused on activating the Eight-Handled Wheel. As the heavy, golden wheel appeared and hovered above his head, the Stray Devil slammed into him, sending him sliding across the dirt. Meguna caught his momentum with one hand, his eyes locked on his prey.
The wheel turned once with a heavy click.
'The adaptation level is low, but against a weak Stray like this, it won't take long to bridge the gap.'
The Stray stared at the floating wheel in shock. "A... a Sacred Gear?!".
Meguna cracked his neck, an arrogant smirk stretching across his face. "Is that the best you can do? I was hoping for a better warm up."
Enraged, the beast charged again. Meguna didn't dodge this time; he let the attacks land, allowing his body to experience the force.
"Sacred Gear or not, you're just a lowly human! You should have known your place!" The beast lashed out with its claws. Meguna blocked the strikes with his forearms, using RCT to heal the shallow cuts instantly. The smirk vanished, replaced by a look of cold calculation as the wheel clicked every few seconds.
Click. Click.
When the adaptation was complete, the wheel stopped spinning. Meguna's arrogant grin returned. "Seems like you're out of moves."
"What are you smirking for, human? You're dead! Too bad you won't live to use that precious Gear. Now DIE!"
The beast swung with everything it had, but when its claws hit Meguna's chest, it felt like striking a mountain. There wasn't even a scratch.
The beast stammered, "H-how?"
Meguna walked up to the creature, one hand in his pocket, and looked it in the eye. The beast tried to back away, but before it could turn to run, Meguna blurred forward.
"Cleave"
He passed through the beast in a flash. Meguna stood with his back to the creature, his hands casually in his pockets. A split second later, the Stray Devil was shredded into dozens of tiny cubes, its remains thudding softly onto the grass.
As the meat hit the ground, the black markings on Meguna's face began to fade. He turned and started the walk home.
----
Back in his kitchen, Meguna grabbed a glass of water and opened the System. "Let's see how much I leveled up."
