Isabella flutters her eyes open in Jared's mansion laying in her bedroom with the sun shining in her face and Her long white messy Hair
she looks down at her phone to see what day it was and to her surprise...
"It's a Saturday nice no school" Isabella let out a sigh of relief
her hair is all over the place and she is still so sleepy but she gets up from the bed stretching before leaving her room in a black sports bra and black leggings
Isabella walked downstairs to see Jared who is standing at the kitchen counter with a pen and pieces of paper using them to write a letter
Jared is wearing a smart redshirt along with black pants and shoes with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows
And on his hand, he wears a ring gifted to him by His father Vergil that he got from his grandfather that he got from his ancestors to Lokrinvol the creator of the ring, but now it was passed down to Jared to signify the Lord of Leistung
The ring band was a special material made from a metal similar to Silver in colour by not deadly to Devils in the shape of a dragons claw, it also has a red diamond centre stone
"Glad to see your up," Jared said as he glanced at Isabella
"It is a Saturday After all" Isabella replied grabbing a Cartoon of orange juice from the cooler
The letter Jared was writing was hidden from Isabella before she could see what was on it
"Who's is the letter for?" Isabella asked taking a slurp of orange juice
Jared ignores Isabella question keeping whoever the letter was addressed to a secret
Isabella takes the hint that he doesn't want to share who the letter was intended for and lets it go respecting Jared's privacy
But Isabella gets a call on her phone from someone called Hirō, a friend of hers from school
"Hello Hirō " Isabella greeted her friend moving further away from Jared
But Jared being extremely overprotective of his sister uses an ability he inherited from his mother, super hearing which allows him able to hear things over long distances even through walls
"Hey Hirō what's up?" Isabella asked Hirō
"Hey, Lizzie I was wondering if you wanted to come round mine and play video games?" Asked Hirō
"You wanna hang out?, Sure I'd love to," said Isabella
"Wonderful I'll see you then," said Hirō
"Ok I'll get ready now" Isabella replied gleefully as she ended the call
"I might be able to leave before Jared notices," Isabella thought to herself
As she went upstairs she didn't know Jared was listening in to her phone call from the back yard when he was with a glass of whiskey
Though he didn't seem to mind as much with his other abilities If he sensed she was in trouble he would not let anyone stand in his way from protecting his sister even if it's human
Jared sighed and walked towards a small shrine on a hill, that was on Jareds land, he had built the shrine to honour Nakano and her husband Kazan
Reaching the peaceful area on the hill he lay right next to it and let out a sigh before putting his hand on his forehead
"She's growing up to fast, Grandma," Jared said taking a drink from his whiskey that he brought with him
"I worry about her. She is too naive" said Jared letting out a Tired sigh

"I wish you were here with us Grandma, you'd know what to do, you always did," Said Jared taking another sip from his glass
The Shrine Jared had built two centuries ago held the ashes of Elderly women called Nakano Sakai
The woman that Found Jared heavily injured holding on to his sister on the side of the road on the same day Jared's Father Vergil was killed
When she found him he had passed out to the blood loss from his head wound as he still held tightly to a seven-year-old Isabella who also passed out from exhaustion
Nakano and Kazan her husband who is also buried alongside his wife on the ground of their old home where Jared's mansion now stands
Jared had grown tired and lay down on the bench he was sitting on next to the shrine which was under a small roof to protect the shrine from the elements, and then the rain started to pour from the sky creating a sound that Jared fell asleep to
A few hours later Jared had awoken to find he had slept all day and it was now 9:12 pm, Jared realised he had slept for about 9 hours making in the middle of the Knight
He got up from the bench and decided he would go out devil hunting to clear his mind so he went inside and put his Armor on which was an Armor his mother and father had made for him by devil blacksmiths and vampires Enchanters
Now with his Armor equipped he materialised his sword and sheathed it on his back and left to go hunting while his sister was around his friend's house And With his sister not around he had no reason to hold his bloodlust back and can gorge himself on the fear and anger of his enemies something he takes joy in
Ophelia was awoken by the sun, she looked around to see myrtille absent so she got out of bed to see where silane was
She put her hand on myrtle's bedroom door and creaked it open slightly to see myrtille still sleeping peacefully, Ophelia crept over to her slightly and put the blanket Back over myrtille
Then she remembered that she was going out to hunt a stray that Rias and her peerage been tracking for a while
"I guess I have time for lunch before rias arrive," said Ophelia going over to the cooler
She held her chin as she pondered on what to have but then she saw the ingredients for a Chicken salad which was Her favourite
And she got to work making her lunch. Now normally myrtille would be the one to do this seeing as how she is Ophelia's maid, But Ophelia liked the change-making her food and Besides myrtille looked too peaceful to wake up
After she was finished she placed it on the dining table ready to eat her meal, She took the knife and fork In her hand as she tasted what she had made
"I am a good cook" Ophelia Thought to herself
As she finished eating she then Went to the main room there she would watch some T.V till Rias arrived, and so she sat on the couch in the main room and switched on the T.V putting a show on until Rias arrived
The Tv show she had put on was one that she enjoyed quite a bit, and it was called "Lucifer" and she watched until she heard myrtille come downstairs as she watched her tv show
"my lady I apologise for not getting up in time to wake you," myrtille said as she Apologised to Ophelia not that she minded though

"myrtille it's alright, please you deserve to rest yourself for taking care of me" Ophelia gave a reassuring smile to myrtille who calmed herself because of it
"But you could get my outfit ready for my sister arrives," Ophelia asked nicely
"Of course my lady, I'll do it right now," said myrtille leaving to prepare Ophelia's dress
Her favourite red dress that she received at her 19 birthday party
She soon came downstairs with it and soon Ophelia decided to shower to prepare herself
After she was done she did a little makeup not too much as it wasn't the kind of event that you wear a lot of make-up to
Afterwards, she was done she exited the bathroom to see a dress on the counter for her to which she put on and looked at herself in the mirror
She wore a gift from her father Zeoticus, a red dress with a black centre and white roses around the edges and the dress went to above the knees, also wore tight black leggings to keep her legs warm and black boots which she wore on her feet
She headed downstairs to see Silane waiting for her along with Rias and her peerage
"Hello Ophelia, I see you ready," rias said cheerfully
"Oh you know me I hate keeping people waiting," said Ophelia Hugging her sister
After greeting the other peerage members they began to walk to where Rias had tracked a stray
"So Ophelia, can I ask a question?" Issei asked with his hand on the back of his head
"Sure what do you want to ask?" Ophelia asked in response
"Do you have a Boyfriend?" Issei asked Ophelia who blushed a light pink
"I...um issei that's a very forward question," Ophelia told issei
Koneko punched Issei in the side of his gut
"Ow, what was that for?" Asked issei holding his side
"Perv" Koneko remarked
"Umm well to answer your question no I haven't yet anyway," said Ophelia
Issei smiled to think he may be able to win Ophelia over with his strength as long as no one strong shows up
But before their conversation can continue they felt a powerful burst of demonic energy stronger than anything They had faced but they were optimistic
They arrived where the burst came from, a known gang hideout, but as they came close Koneko smelled blood and lots of it, but since it was a Gang hideout they brushed it off
They sent Koneko in through a Broken widen to unlock the door, which took her no time at all, they opened the door and were in shock at the bloodbath that they played eyes upon
They saw the bodies of Gangsters in pieces, half-eaten organs and blood splattered across the room and walls with the bodies of the organ-less gangsters with their throats ripped out littering the ground
myrtille gasped in horror when she saw the scene
"W...w...what..kind of Monster would have done this?" myrtille asked Her tone drowned in fear from what she was seeing
Rias looked at the throats of the dead gangsters with a wide-eyed expression, but that soon turned into a scowl
"Vampire" Rias exclaimed
As their faces filled with a dreaded expression and before anyone can tell them they should leave they heard blood dripping and flesh tearing from the corner of the room barely visible because it was so dark
They all turned their heads slowly to see something or someone in red and black Armor with vampiric runes crouched down over a corpse in a huge pool of blood
The Vampire turned his head letting them know they have been sensed, the vampire turned its head even further to show its teeth
The Vampire's teeth and 2 rows of razor-sharp teeth similar to that of a great white shark that was drenched in blood with two glowing red eyes look directly at them from the dark of its hood
Rias gulped before she addressed the vampire that was staring them down with its claw-like gauntlets covered in blood
"Vampire!, I am heiress of The house of gremory, Rias Gremory and you have committed crimes against The humans to surrender now and we may let you live!" Rias shouted across the room towards the mysterious vampire
The mysterious Vampire ignored what The Crimson haired devil was saying and tilted its head ever so slightly to the side
"I SAID DO YOU SURROUND..." Rias tried to demand the Vampire to surrender by flaring her energy to scare the vampire
After she did however the vampire stood still for a brief few moments until...
It let out a Roar while letting it his energy wave of his own that shatters all the windows in the hideout cracking the ground
Issei's eyes widen as he has felt the feeling before that day At Kuoh academy when Isabella came to school with Jared her brother
"Hey Asia we've felt this energy before," Issei said to Asia cover his face from the wind from The vampire's energy release
"You don't think it's him?" Asia asked doing the same as all the others
"I'm certain of it," said Issei
The vampire stopped releasing energy and dashed faster than a falling star, and they all saw Koneko get kicked back into the wall behind them
"KONEKO!...YOU BASTARD!" Said an angered issei
"BOOSTED GEAR!" Issei Shouted and a red gauntlet appeared on his arm
"Ddraig give me everything" ordered issei as his sacred gear Ddraig the red dragon emperor did as he asked
The vampire felt issei's power rise but was nothing in comparison to his own!
"TAKE THIS!" Issei charged at the Vampire going for a punch that he is sure will knock the vampire out
But to his Surprise, The vampire caught it effortlessly and kicked issei full force into a wall sending him through it
"Foolishness!, is rushing in the blind all you can do?" Said the vampire kicking issei
"ISSEI!" The group shouted as they saw issei get kicked
"My Turn Vampire!" Said a Kiba and he summoned a sword in his hand
But in a flash, The vampire dashed for him catching the sword that was in Kiba hands in his mouth and shattering it, as he swung the sword going for a strike
While Kiba was stunned The vampire kicked Kiba hard into the wall knocking him unconscious
"K...KIBA" screamed the others
Koneko saw this as her chance to defeat the vampire by delivering her strongest punch to the vampire, but he sensed Koneko move and dodged the attack punching her in the Stomach
"GAHH!" Koneko gasped for air as she was winded
She fell to the floor holding her stomach in pain
"How boring!" The vampire was unimpressed by this supposed strong devils power
He heard an attack being charged and turned his head to see Akeno charging a lightning attack
As she fired he backflips in the air and fired a bolt of Red lightning at Akeno not killing her but enough to knock her out
He landed on the ground, to see Rias standing there charging a PoD in her hands
"You will pay for attacking my friends Vermin!" Said Rias firing the Pod

How The Weak Live
This was a rough draft. Quite a meh one. The newer version is These Games of Ours. ---------- Lucious is deserter among many, living by dagger and beggary. Argento’s thirst for knowledge is endless, as is his belly. Kora is the perfect soldier, yet her sword grows dull in monotony. Formally known as the Empire's legend, the Captain is now stuck in stagnation. The Gods, grown weary of human deeds, have decided to indulge themselves in a different way. -------------- THE 7 REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF Clichés shall be avoided like the cancerous tumors they are. The world shall not spread its pink butt cheeks for the main character’s convenience. No character shall be thinner than one slice of white American cheese. No female character shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main character is. No villain shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main characters are. Grammar laws shall be upheld sometimes. I, the author, swear not to be a prick. I, the author, swear not to go away without warning. If other LitRPGs are like Skyrim, then this is going to be a combination of Dark Souls and Total War. Don't expect action for the sake of action. Be warned, this is a slow novel. Read the reviews to see if this novel is a decent fit for you. Disclaimer: I do not own that gorgeous cover art.

All World Online
Damien Close, age 19, becomes a quadriplegic after an unfortunate car accident, losing all function of his body from the neck down. With his parents in shock and his best friend suffering from unbearable guilt, Damien finds himself without much support. Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
