《Crossing Over: Chronicles of DxD》Evil Pieces
Advertisement
On the other side of the dimensional gap, in an area personally built by none other than the true devil himself, Beelzebub. I, Sesa, stand in a room with him in his abode. He has just become my benefactor by giving me the opportunity to start my own peerage. Not only that, I think I've gained a familiar.
'I've become a king and got a bonus, hehe.'
I can't say that out loud, that would be too arrogant and rude. Turning to girl the beside me, Chaos. Remembering correctly, I can only say that she is the most powerful Angeloid from her world. What could possibly have happened that she is in this world? The DxD world.
'Is there a connection between them?'
Chaos: So what are we to do now, master?
"Er..." Chaos suddenly wraps her arms my left arm. The sensation of the breasts can be felt right above my forearm. 'I think... I think I'm in heaven.'
DETECT!!
"Huh!!!"
All of a sudden the Mask of Deception gives a reaction. 'Detect' is alerting me of a sudden change in the atmosphere. Then I see a magic circle begins to manifest.
'I hope my evil pieces aren't jeopardized.'
The place were the magic circle comes to be, right in front of me. More exactly, the magic is cast right by Ajuka Beelzebub. A tiny circle appears by his ear. It seems to be a sound transmission magic, another circle appears at the ear of the Chaos Karma Dragon, Tiamat.
"Is something wrong?"
I ask out aloud. From what I see, everything seems to fine when I observe Satan. Ajuka is as calm as ever. Next to him, though, Tia's face isn't in a happy disposition. She seems to be really upset.
'What's going on here now?'
I want to ask out of curiosity, I can't say it out now while they are busy listening nor will they let me know if the information is private. Staying quiet along with Chaos we wait for Ajuka and Tia to finish. I could have just left if I knew the way out.
"Hey, Chaos!"
Chaos: Yes, master.
"How come you're here?"
Chaos: I don't understand, master.
"Nevermind, I'll ask you at another time. Let's work together from now on."

Chaos: Yay!
Seeing Chaos in her cheery mood makes me feel good inside. When you get a sweet that has the right amount of sugar in it, you can't stop consuming it, like that I feel I can't get enough of the Angeloid at my side.
Ajuka: Ahem! Sesa, you said that you're willing to serve my cause. I have a mission for you.
"Eh... G-Got it. What do I need to do?"
I hope nothing serious has happened. I'm willing to render service to the mission of fighting against the Khaos Brigade, but for the mission to come so soon.... What was the sound transmission all about?
Ajuka: An incident has occurred at the town you arrived at. It would seem that those beasts have become bold.
"Beasts? Are they the ones that the hunters are after?"
Ajuka: Exactly! I haven't told anyone as of yet, those beasts which are thought to be youkai or werewolves are in fact neither. They're a totally different species.
Tia: Damn it! I hate those things.
"I see, I'll have to prepare, then make an investigation into the matter."
Ajuka: Alright, this can be considered a test for you. I hope you don't disappoint. Follow Tiamat back . She will lead you out to the human world.
"Thank you Lord Ajuka, I will do my best."
Ajuka: Right. Oh... By the way, which clan are you from? It has made me curious.
"Oh, my clan name... it has long been forgotten. I'm simply a successor. Hmm, a long time ago my the head of the clan was named 'Malacoda'."
Ajuka: That is good to know.
From the time I desired to get my own peerage, I long since determined that I that I require house to be part of. Thus I was prepared for Ajuka's question. I may not have taken this path if I hadn't met Nicolas Virgil Dante, His ghost at least.
I say my goodbyes to Satan. Following Tia, I arrive again at the place by which I came. Chaos is at my side. At my side as in she is literally rubbing body against me as we walk. 'Walking like this is a bit uncomfortable.' I think to myself, again we come to the runic magic circle.
Both Chaos and I stand at the center. Looks like Tia isn't coming with us. Having her come would really be helpful but I guess that won't help me in the test Beelzebub has set for me.

In a flash me and my familiar disappear.
*****
Tia: You gave him your evil pieces, are you mad?
It hasn't been a long time since the lad along with his familiar have left. The Chaos Karma Dragon was the one to escort the couple out of my abode. Yes, me, Ajuka Beelzebub. It was an interesting event that gave me an alternative option in my plans.
Back at the room where I have been conducting evaluations. Scrolling the tablet, the unwarranted question makes me stop what I'm doing. Tiamat did ask a pretty good question. Those evil pieces that has been given to Mr Sesa are all mutation pieces. The leading housed in the underworld at most would have a single mutation piece. Anyway, I can't use my pieces in the first place. That's because those old devil morons are too afraid of the peerage I could create. I smile back at The blue dragon.
"It was not my intention in the first place, but that girl... Angeloid had woken up. I simply capitalized on an opportunity."
Tia: Opportunity? What opportunity?
"Very well, I will let you know. That girl, Chaos, hehe. I found her some decades ago. I was much younger back then. It was a time before the war between the old satan faction and us."
Tia: Huh! I thought was... she was someone you recently found.
"Recently would be a correct term I guess. That's if you consider a devils or dragon longevity. That girl is quite a mystery, not that as well, the location at where I had found her is a mystery in it's self."
Tia: Is- is that so.
"Yes, you are very well aware of the mystery surrounding the floating island in the Agreas territory. The materials mined there are what I've used to create the evil pieces."
Tia: Are, are you saying that the mystery girl was found there?
"Precisely. When she first woke up, the only question that filled my head was, What is the connection? Sesa wasn't even born all those years ago but he knows her."
Tia: That is certainly weird. But that doesn't have anything to do with your evil pieces, does it? Are you trying to bait that kid and research that girl?
"None of that. I've already done my research long ago. Actually, the evil piece system is based of her."
Tia: What?!
Tiamat's reaction of surprise amuses me. I'm not going to answer though, she has to take my word for it. explaining will take forever.
There's many concepts coded into the body of Chaos from what I found. It took years to make a compilation of data and that too, I feel that I haven't even scratched the surface. The basic coding of speed, magic amplification and strength were the very first concepts for me to figure out. They were known as Alpha ( knight ), Beta ( bishop ) and Delta ( rook ). Years later I had a breakthrough, I discovered 'Pandora', from that pawn pieces were created with the power of promotion.
I wasn't satisfied with just that. trying to delve deeper there was more data that was beyond me. Instead I combined the current information that I understood and made the Queen's piece. I don't know why I chose the make the evil pieces based on chess but I guess I was really good at playing the sport.
As for the King's piece. It was the very first piece I made. Technically, I imitated the overall coding of the Angeloid. The power greatly frightened even me.
I can guarantee that the girl, Chaos, far ages those dead leaders of the devil and angel factions.
DAMN IT!!!
"I forgot something."
Tia: ???
"Didn't that brat say that in the past, his clan leader was known as Malacoda?"
Tia: Yes.
"Have you ever heard of the Satan arms?"
Tia: ...Mm. Yes, they're a myth. The legend amongst the commoners is that if the Satan arms were used, the devil faction would've won the war all those years ago.
"That is knowledge amongst the commoners. The higher echelons of the underworld have another saying to that legend... What was it again?"
"You can weaken the seal of Barbariccia and Scarmiglione but Malacoda must never be awakened. The Malebranche! It seems that brat is related to the Evil Claws that even the original Satans feared."

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0

On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor
What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world? Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed? Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him. Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices... Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!). [Note this story is Harem, and since many don't like that, be warned! It's more Sevens than Isekai Smartphone though. There will be some R-15/18 scenes for the Harem (though I have toned down the one posted here from the original drafts more to the R15 side.] The story is pretty much evenly split between progression fantasy and real-world character building and events, hopefully blending together to make a compelling narrative about how someone could change themselves and the people around them for the better if given the chance by some miraculous intervention, while also hopefully saving the world (and maybe other worlds too.] Update schedule revised: Minimum 3/week - Tues/Wed/Thurs but will aim to hit 5/week where possible If you have any questions re: future plot turns/types of things that might happen and want to know so you know whether you'd find it worth your time reading, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll let you know. No story is for everyone, so no worries!
