Third Person POV

Red Grave City.

Red Grave was a nice looking place, features mostly neoclassical architecture typical of the Victorian era, with some older structures such as the cathedral. speaking of a long history. It is not without modern features, however, including recent-looking apartment blocks, a neon-lit district, and a subway network. A large bridge is used to cross the nearby river. There are many old-fashioned features such as red telephone boxes, and numerous statues in public areas. There is also an industrial area with a rail freight terminal.

It was a peaceful and serene night in the City of Red Grave. The streets were deserted and the only sound that could be heard was the occasional rustle of leaves as the gentle breeze blew through the trees. All the residents of the city were fast asleep in their cozy beds, completely unaware of the strange events that were about to unfold.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bright and blinding portal appeared in a small alleyway. The portal seemed to be emitting an otherworldly energy as three newcomers - Dante, Vergil, and Issei Hyoudou came through the vortex.

As they stepped out of the portal, they were greeted by the tranquil sight of the sleeping city. The three of them stood there, taking in the beauty of the surroundings, Issei's expressions were a mix of wonder and excitement. The ethereal energy radiating from the portal seemed to have a calming effect on him, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over him.

Issei: "Woah...what is this place?"

Dante: "Kid, welcome to Red Grave City!"

Issei raised an eyebrow.

Issei: "Red Grave? I've never heard of that before?"

Vergil: "You forget your in our world so Red Grave city doesn't exist in yours"

Issei: "I know that, I just figured there would be at least some similarities to mine"

Dante chuckled as he patted Issei on the back.

Dante: "Don't worry, Kid. You'll get back to your world before you know it"

Issei looked up at the white-haired man.

Issei: "Really?"

Dante merely shrugged his shoulders, he had absolutely no idea because this was a first for him. Like, demons existing is one thing but there being whole other universes? Talk about a crazy day.

Issei: "-_- Thanks for increasing my hopes"

Dante: "No problem!"

Vergil merely sighed and shook his head, he wasn't surprised by his brothers actions...only disappointed.

Vergil: "Dante, where is that hideous facility you call a shop"

Dante: "Hey! It has a name!"

Vergil: "I do not care to learn its name"

Dante sighs and shook his head.

Issei: "You have a shop?"

Dante: "It's where people call me and give me jobs to slay demons and it's not far from here"

Hearing this peaked Issei's interest, Dante was becoming more and more interesting by the second.

Issei: "Whats it called?"

Dante smirked.

Dante: "Devil May Cry"

Issei had to say, the name sounded badass. In fact, he felt like it should be the name of a bloody video game franchise. That would be very good, he was sure that many people would enjoy it.

Issei: "Not a bad name, has a nice ring to it"

Dante chuckled.

Dante: "I know right? I picked it myse-"

Vergil: "Are you both done?"

Dante and Issei looked at Vergil who had his arms crossed, a disappointed expression slapped on his face.

Vergil: "We do not have time for this, I would like to start thr boys Training as soon as possible"

Dante sighed, why did his brother have to be such a killjoy.

Dante: "Yeah, yeah. Come on, it's not far from here"

And so, the trio walked off to Dante's shop. As they were walking though, Issei took the chance to see more and more of the city of Red Grave.

While it was beautiful, it also looked like it was recovering from a battle. No doubt something that Dante and Vergil caused, which Issei kinda doesn't want to know about.

Issei: "Jeez, it's almost like a world war has took place"

Dante: "Cause there was one!"

Issei: "Seriously? Were you two involved?"

Dante: "Eh, in a way we we-"

Vergil: "Enough, we are here"

The trio stopped as Issei looked and saw himself in front of a building with a sign tbat said "Devil May Cry" on it.

Issei couldn't help but chuckle, he expected something a little more...flashy but either way, it was still a marvelous sight.

The three of them entered and Issei got a look what the inside look like. It was pretty messy but it looked like a pretty cool place to live in.

Issei: "Despite the trash...not a bad place"

Dante: "Thanks, but this place isn't cheap"

Vergil remained silent for the most part, not really reacting to everything around him.

Suddenly, the trio soon stopped as they hesrd a pair of footsteps and quickly turned to see two individuals.

The first was a young lady with dark, chin-length hair on both sides of her face and she has a fringe that reaches her eyebrows. She had a scar across her nose, a necklace with a red gem on it. And her most prominent feature, her left eye is red while her right eye is bluish-green.

The second individual was another young woman with lengthy, blond hair, blue eyes, and a very fair complexion. Her clothing was...unusual to say the least, consisting of black leather pants, high-heeled boots, a corset, double belts, a choker, and some kind of wrist accessory.

Dante: "Ah, there you two are. I thought you ditched me"

Black hair: "Heya, Dante. Why are you back here? I thought you had businesses with your brother here"

Dante: "Well, we were. But we had to cut it short"

Blonde hair: "Does it have something to do with him?"

She pointed at Issei who stood where he was in silence, he was trying his damn best not to do something Perverted right now. But it was very hard, like there was two beautiful woman right in front if him. Sure, they didn't have big breast....but still, they looked gorgeous.

Dante: "Oh yeah, girls say hello to Issei"

He looked at Issei.

Dante: "Issei, these are my friends/co-workers you can say"

Black hair: "Sup kid, names Lady"

Blonde hair: "And I am Trish"

Issei: "Nice to meet you both"

He bowed a little.

Lady: "The kid's got manners. Heh, I already like him"

Issei chuckled slightly and scratched the back of his head.

Issei: "Well, I am from Japan. But I'm honestly surprised you can understand me"

Vergil: "Probably something from the portal that brought you to our world"

Hearing this got both Trish and Lady's attention, did they hear that correctly? Did Vergil just say what they think he said?

Trish: "Did you say a portal?"

Lady: "Brought this kid here from his world to ours?"

Dante smirked.

Dante: "Yeah, Issei here isn't from our world. He's from a completley different one"

They looked over at Issei, who was chuckling nerviously. He wasnt used to getting this much attention, esspecially since there were two girls looking at him.

Issei: "Yeah... its true"

Lady: ".....And I thought fighting demons was something but this is a whole new thing"

Trish: "How did you manage that?"

The brown-haired boy sighed.

Issei: "You dont wanna know...trust me, its best that you don't know"

He sthen started scratching the back of his head.

Issei: "All I say is that multiverse theory is a bitch"

Dante: "So is life"

Lady crossed her arms.

Lady: "So, Is he gonna be staying with us?"

Vergil stepped forward.

Vergil: "He will be staying with us until I can find a portal to send him home, by then he should have mastery over both Dantes and I power"

Trish raised an eyebrow.

Trish: "You're going to teach this kid?"

Dante: "Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard"

Lady: "No offence, Dante. But I highly doubt you can teach him anything remember a version of of you taught an uncertain someone in another universe and became almost like you?"

Meanwhile in another universe.

Drake: "ACHOO! Why do I feel like someone is talking about me?"

Raven: "Your probably imagining things again, Dear"

Drake: "Yeah, you're right"

Raven: "Now, you wanna go for a few more rounds~?"

Drake smirked as he kissed his wife.

Back with our Universe.

Dante: "Hey!"

Issei merely blinked, not sure what they were talking about. Did something like him happen to someone else or what?

Issei: "The fuck is happening?"

Vergil looked at Issei.

Vergil: "Ignore them, they are nothing but distractions that will get in your way of training"

Issei: "Okay?"

Dante looked at his brother, if he knew him and he certainly does...he will most likely try and start Issei's training right now.

Dante: "Vergil, lets train the kid tomorrow. Its late"

Vergil sighs.

Vergil: "Very, well but I ain't staying in this filth. I'll see you tomorrow"

Vergil turned and opened the doors, leaving the shop.

Issei looked at Dante.

Issei: "Is he always like that or what?"

Dante: "Sometimes he can be a spoiled little brat. Come on, I'll show you where your sleeping"

Issei: "Okay then"

Issei had a feeling he was gonna regret accepting their offer, he just gets that feeling. But it's not like he had any other choice, it was either go with them or be stuck in a world full of Demons who could easily tear him limb from limb.

(Small Time Skip Brought to you by Lady aiming a rocket launcher at you)

Dante, led Issei to the living room where he would be spending the night. Issei took in his surroundings, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his stomach. The couch, while not the most comfortable place to rest, was better than nothing at all. Dante had handed him a pillow and a blanket, assuring him that he wouldn't be cold during the night.

Issei couldn't shake off the thought that his life had taken an unexpected turn. Everything was so surreal, like an Isekai anime he had watched, but this was real life, and there was no 'System' or 'becoming Overpowered' to help him navigate his way through this new world. He was just a regular guy with no special skills, no knowledge of how to fight or kill, no idea how to wield a sword, or fire a gun. Essentially, he was useless at everything, making him feel like a burden rather than an asset.

Issei's mind raced with thoughts of how he was going to survive in this new world, as he had no idea what was in store for him. For him, this was just another addition to the story of his life, a life full of unexpected twists and turns that he never saw coming.

Issei let out a small sigh.

Issei: "Lets just get some sleep..."

He closed his eyes for a brief moment, but he soon re-opened them to see...nothing.

Issei: "Huh?"

Issei's eyes widened in shock as he suddenly found himself suspended in a seemingly infinite void of absolute nothingness. The darkness around him was all-consuming, stretching out for miles in every direction, leaving him feeling disoriented and confused. He couldn't help but wonder if he was still sleeping and experiencing some sort of vivid dream, or if he had somehow been transported to another realm entirely, far removed from the familiar surroundings of The Devil May Cry shop. As the realization dawned on him, Issei blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of his surroundings and figure out where the hell he was.

???: "So, we finally meet my host..."

Issei perked up by the sudden voice, just what the hell was that? He hoped that he wasn't going crazy or that it was Dante pulling some sort of prank on him.

Issei: "Who said that?"

The voice let out a small yet out chuckle that echoed throughout the infinite black void.

???: "Who I am is not important, what is....are you worthy"

Issei: "Huh?"

Issei was confused, what was the voice talking about?

Issei: "Worthy? What are you talking about"

Suddenly, a massive reptilian eye appeared behind the boy which caused him to look back at it.

???: "Are you worthy of being my host!?"

A sudden wave of bloodlust toward Issei, when it hit the boy he could feel his entire body shaking and trembling to the core.

???: "Hey, Issei!"

Issei's eyes widen as he quickly sat up, panting heavily as he had woken up on the couch, drenched in a cold sweat.

Issei: "F-Fucking hell...I swear I saw the other side for a split second..."

He looked to the voice who had woken him up and saw Dante.

Dante: "You okay, kid?"

Issei's chest heaved as he struggled to catch his breath. His mind was racing as he tried to process what he had just witnessed. The image of the mysterious eye was burned into his memory, and he couldn't shake the feeling that it was somehow important.

As he caught his breath, Issei considered his options. Maybe he should tell Dante and Vergil about what he had seen. After all, they were experienced demon hunters and might have some knowledge about this strange phenomena. On the other hand, they might not have any information at all. Issei knew that the world of demons was vast and complex, and there were many things that even they dont know about.

Despite his uncertainty, Issei knew that he couldn't keep this information to himself. The eye was too important, and he needed to find out more.

Issei: "Dante..."

Dante: "Hm?"

Issei: "I...saw something in my dream"

Dante raised an eyebrow.

Dante: "What is it"

Issei: "Something that I hope you and Vergil know..."

Dante: "Im listening"
