Blitzkrieg (DxD AU Vali SI) CH1
…
-Unknown POV-
How does it feel to die?
Everyone's experience with death is different. Some live their full natural lifespan and greet it as an old friend. Some take the next step because they can't handle living, and some…
Some people's lives are cut short by others.
Do you know how helpless it feels to be choked to death by your own brother because he wants your money?
No, no one could ever understand just how heartbreaking it is.
Seriously, even for me that's too much.
I wasn't a paragon of goodness if you're asking (I ran a money collection business after all). Because of me countless kneecaps were broken, many people had become homeless and I had fucked a lot of people's wives and daughters in front of them as "payment".
I knew that I would get my due sometime. I just hadn't realized how the sting of betrayal from your own brother felt.
I couldn't even resent him though, he had played this all masterfully. Bribing up most of my bodyguards and killing the ones that were too loyal to me and then ambushing me when I'd come to congratulate him on "his" second son.
Heh. Joke's on him! He doesn't know that all of his son's were mine!
But… I was now dead and all of this talk was useless.
For some time, I stayed in this black void. Just sitting in contemplation. Am I going to be judged by God or am I already in hell?
The foolish me just hadn't realized it yet, just how accurate my statement was going to be.
I looked around at the dark place. Is this my hell? Seriously? I deserve much worse than this.
As they say, don't tempt Murphy.
"-What?!" I yelled out and closed my eyes as the dark place lit up, as if someone turned on the lights. I moved. Fast winds hit my face as if I was riding an open plane.
"Whaaaaaa-!?" I shouted for my life as the speed increased and it felt like the skin on my body would be sliding off my body like a cartoon.
…
I woke up with a start, heaving as I took breath after breath. And my first reaction upon waking up was-
Confusion.
W-where am I? I thought quizzically as I looked around at the frankly royalty level luxurious room.
And why does something feel so different? I thought as I stood up.
-What the fuck happened to my height!? My eyes widened as I looked down at "my" small hands and small frame. What the fuck?
But despite my growing shaking, there was still something different. What is this feeling?
I try to move it, and jump when I feel something come out of my shoulder blades. I looked back with dread and fascination at the two pairs of giant bat wings coming out of my back.
Almost instinctively I tried to move them and they moved. Suddenly I was floating. "Woah!" Eyes widened, I let out a disbelieving laugh.
I'm floating. I'm floating. I'm floating!? I smiled giddily and moved through the air. The wings were not moving much but still carried me through the air somehow.
These things break physics!? I laughed as I flew through the room, zigzagging easily in my small kid-like frame.
The best part? It wasn't tiring at all. It felt like I could do this forever.
But all my giddiness at having to fly flew out the window when I stopped at the small opening adorning the room to keep the ventilation. That's weird. There aren't any normal windows here. The room is so posh yet it feels like I'm in solitary confinement-?
-Did the sky always look like that? I gawked. My jaw dropped as I looked up at the purple sky.
I was so shocked that I floated back to sitting on my bed. Where am I? Once again the thought rang through my mind.
But I have a feeling that I'm not getting any answers until I find someone. Still, despite this feeling. I decided to investigate this room to find a clue.
The bed? It looked posh and expensive. One could say it's too expensive, because the frame? It was made of freaking gold! And I know the feeling of real gold when I touch one!
The side table also didn't have much to offer. A wooden chess board with its pieces. A comb. Some gel. And a photo of a beautiful blonde woman smiling (a pang of pain hits me whenever I see it) happily holding a peace symbol.
For some reason, my body shook and tensed when I saw that picture, I honestly felt like curling up and just crying. But… I didn't want that feeling to end for some reason?
Sigh.
It is very confusing to feel emotions when you don't understand why you're feeling them.
By now, I understand that something very freaky is going on. Like anime, isekai levels of freaky, but I don't want to admit that quiet just yet.
But all of my answers were provided to me when I opened up the closet and was instantly attracted to the mirror holding "my" reflection.
Why did I highlight the "my" part?
Because the one standing in front of the mirror was not me.
… pain…
The one standing in front of the mirror was a 7 or 8 years old kid with silver hair that defies physics, hazel brown eyes and a cute and charming aristocratic face!
… Pain…
But… I narrowed my eyes and walked closer to the mirror and my expression turned ugly.
Pain…
The kid had a black eye that was healing, a busted lip and the right side of his face was black and blue. Was this kid being abused or something?
PAIN!
-The headache building up in the background finally exploded and I fell on the wooden floor holding my head in pain as my body twitched.
But my mind? My mind was on another journey…
"Va-kun!" The beautiful blonde woman brightly smiled at me as she looked down at my infant form after I said my first words. Mama.
-Quiet voices talked in the night, not knowing that I was sneaking around the castle we had arrived at yesterday. "-the half-breed brat inherited the technique of our proud ancestor. If you're still so afraid of him, then just beat him up! There's no better way to show your superiority!" Said an aristocratic voice that had an element of craziness in it.
-A bottle hits my face and breaks. My mother yells in worry for me, not bothering about her own beat up and… raped form. My eyes were blurry looking at the monster that was my sire. My eyes alight with rage as Light responded to my will, collecting and coalescing into the form of a dagger spinning and ready to end my sire. Then my mother hugs me, stopping and dissipating the energy as she envelops me in her warmness. "It's alright Va-kun." She smiles down at me hiding her pain. But the moment is stolen from us. "YOU DARE!?" He yells as he summons and throws dangerous sparks of lightning towards me, intent on killing his own blood. But my mother stands in its way and takes it. Then… Then- so much blood…
-Voices talk behind me. Random servants in the castle. "-it was inevitable that Lord Razevan would tire of the whore." But I have no anger to beat them up. My eyes are transfixed at the burning pyre. My Mama is dead.
-I jumped awake. Tears fell from my eyes as I relived the last 10 years of my life. I shook, holding back and wiping my tears as I stood up and looked back into the hazel brown eyes looking back at me.
The sleazy, greedy, lustful and morally bankrupt soul that had tried to take over the body of the young Lucifer was purified into golden sparks by the subconscious use of the devil's demonic energy…
-But it- he left behind memories- experiences that irrecoverably changed Vali Lucifer down to his core. Almost destroying that persona too.
And thus, the resulting persona- the mixture of both of them –was born.
Inheriting the memories, experiences, wills and emotions from both his predecessors.
"I will avenge my mother." I gritted my teeth in rage. "I will kill the bastard that is my sire." I vowed quietly but strongly, Light responding to my rage and will. "And I will kill my evil grandfather."
Bloody tears fell from my eyes in rage, Light coalesces behind me easily responding to my will. "I swear this, upon my name of Vali Lucifer, son of Mary Brown." Forming two brilliant wings made from Evil Light just above the two pairs of bat-like devil wings.
Whatever my destiny may be, I was not going to wait around for someone else to come and get my revenge for me. I thought as I remembered the series, the anime, that was now oh so familiar yet so different.
I didn't have a Sacred Gear here. I didn't have Albion to fall back on. I didn't have any support and running away would just see me getting killed by the beasts.
I will get my revenge myself. For my Mom.

1581 Words.
This has also been sitting on my computer for almost a year with more than +10k words. This is an AU because I guess it would be more fun to read from both the reader's and MC's perspectives. Though I promise that this isn't going to be too much AU because it would just ruin the story in my opinion. Lucifer Clan Trait is also pretty unexplored but it should be powerful considering the OG Lucifer had it, and since it doesnt show up much in canon I can practically take it in whatever direction i want to.
