Third Person POV

Issei was feeling a bit confused. Ever since that strange dream, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about it. Even after telling Dante all about it, the Devil Hunter proved to be of no help whatsoever. It couldn't be the work of a demon, and that was also backed up by Trish, who, surprisingly, was a demon herself and possessed more knowledge than both Dante and Vergil combined. Trish told Issei that no demon, besides Mundus, could possibly be responsible for what he had seen. However, it couldn't have been Mundus because he was still sealed away.

So Issei had been feeling strange ever since that morning, even after being dragged outside by Vergil who had grown tired of waiting. Vergil wanted to begin Issei's training immediately.

Dante: "Jeez, Vergil. Give the kid a break will ya? He just had some weird dream and he's still thinking about it"

Vergil merely scoffed, rolling his eyes at his younger siblings words.

Vergil: "Dreams are nothing to think about, they are illusions that keep one from their goal by making them weak"

Dante deadpanned at his brother.

Dante: "Then why the hell do I keep hearing you sleep talking about your dreams?"

Vergil: "I do not dream, when I close my eyes I train my mind in countless combat scenarios"

Dante: 'Press X to doubt'

Dante let out a small sigh and looked at Issei who was still in deep thought, the boy was still wearing the clothes that he had when he arrived in the Demon World. Sure, Dante could have given him something better to wear, preferably a clear pair of clothes but.... he doesnt have anything in the brown-haired boys size.

Dante: "Hey, Issei!"

Hearing the Devil hunter's voice caused Issei to snap out of his thoughts as he looked at him.

Issei: "Yeah, Dante?"

Dante: "You sure you are still up for training? You dont seem to be in the right mind there kid"

Issei was about to say something, but no words came out. Dante had a point, he has been worrying about that giant eyeball all morning and it was making him lose his fucking mind.

Maybe he should just stop worrying about the eyeball and focus on the start of his training, after all he could use it to find a way back to his world.

Issei: "No, I’m totally fine"

Dante: "You sure? You dont have to do th-"

Vergil: "Enough! If he didnt want power than he would have left already"

Dante: "Jeez, Vergil. I was just concerned about the kid"

Vergil looked at his brother.

Vergil: "When were you concerned about anyone, Dante"

Dante: -_- "Wow, that's rich coming from the dude who once again ripped off his own SONS arm"

Issei blinked once, twice, and a final time.

Issei: "Wait, what?"

Dante: "Long story. Vergil wanted more power so he ripped off his own kid’s arm"

Issei grew a face that literally said 'What the fuck' on it as he looked at Vergil.

Issei: "That's fucked up, I feel bad for the mother"

Dante: "Your not the only one k-"

Vergil: "Enough!"

Vergil sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. They haven’t started training and already they’re being a pain.

Vergil: "Can we just please...start training?"

Dante sighed, his brother was really no fun whatsoever. He always has to be a party pooper, which is why he'll make a terrible host at someone's wedding or something.

Dante: "Alright, Alright. Fine"

Issei: "Um, so what do I have to do first?"

Vergil: "First, we need to train your body so you are properly fit"

Issei blinked.

Issei: "What...."

Dante: "Thats right kid, were gonna make you pull a Saitama and Goku!"

Vergil: "I do not know what those two are, nor do I care to know. But your training shall be worse than those two combined"

Issei was a little nervous when Vergil said that.

Issei: "How worse we talking?"

Dante patted Issei's shoulder.

Dante: "Along the lines of even Death will pity you"

Issei said nothing but gulped in fear.

Issei: 'Oh, FUCK ME!'

And so, that was the start of Issei's hell known as training and believe him...he wanted to give up immediately, but he had no other choice but to go through with it because if he doesn't than he was never gonnna find a way back home.

Speaking of which, Issei wondered what the time difference between the two words was like. Was time in his world moving slower cause he was no longer there? Was it moving faster?

Issei had no idea about anything, it was a brand new experience for the boy. Sure, he hoped that he gets home so he can become harem king but....whats the point if there will be no girls to have a Harem?

One Week.

One Week passed and things were going well, slow but well to some degree. Both Dante and Vergil have had Issei do some basics training exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, squats, some runs around the block and a few other things. Vergil was a little unhappy that things were going slower than he wanted, but he knew he had to be patient.

Week two.

Another Week had gone by and Issei has shown some progress, Dante and Vergil have seen that the brown-haired boy has gained some muscle mass and improvement in stamina and endurance. Trish and Lady have decided to help out as well and teach Issei some separate things that will assist him, though that is if he survives.

Week Three.

Trish started to teach Issei some hand-to-hand combat, some basic defenses, and slowly some martial arts. Issei has gotten distracted numerous times cause of Trish's chest, but she snaps him out of it by literally punching the boy square in the nose.

Lady taught Issei everything he had to know about guns, explosives, and various other Marksman weapons that made some damage. Like with Trish, Issei would get distracted which Lady would fix by....trying to shoot him.

Week four.

It was time for Dante and Vergil, the eldest Brother taught the boy how to weild a sword. Dante wanted to do that, but he had something more exciting for Issei and that was teach him his Styles.

Vergil obviously didn’t want Dante to influence their student but sadly it was too late.

Issei found himself in a situation that he never imagined he would be in. He felt like he was in hell. The reason behind this was that he had never trained in his life. He had always been a teenage boy who had a dream of getting loads of girls. For him, the idea of working out or getting combat experience seemed like a useless endeavor. He never felt he would need to fight in a war or anything that required physical strength and combat skills.

However, his current situation was testing him in ways he never thought possible. Issei realized that his lack of training made him vulnerable, and he was struggling to keep up with the demands of the situation.

If he was to find a way back home, he was gonna need to suck it up and bare through thr pain just a little bit longer, another month or two.

Issei was completely exhausted and struggling to catch his breath; beads of sweat were rolling down his face, and his damp brown hair was sticking to his forehead. His clothes were soaked with sweat and dirt, and his hands were calloused from all the hard work he had been doing. Despite his exhaustion, he pushed himself to keep going, determined to finish.

Issei: 'I....I gotta keep going, I came this far so I can't turn back now'

Suddenly, Issei heard a familiar chuckle within his mind, one that he hasn't heard for an entire month now.

???: 'That’s right, partner. Don’t give up just yet'

Issei: 'You...your back'

???: 'Oh, Partner. I never left your side...I have been watching you'

Issei panted as he could feel his vision was slowly getting heavy, most likely due to how tired he was.

Issei: "W-what do you want from me... you already tormented me a month ago, why all of a sudden you reappear?"

???: 'Because it’s time…..You meet me in my real form'

Issei was confused by the mysterious voice words, meet him in his real form? What the hell was he talking about?

Issei: 'What the hell are you talking ab-'

Issei’s eyes widen as he slowly turns to see a dragon.

???: "Im so glad, I can finally meet you...face to face!"

Issei stood in awe as he beheld the colossal creature before him. His mind struggled to comprehend the sheer size and majesty of the legendary beast. Dragons, the stuff of legends and fairy tales, were believed to be the most powerful creatures in the world, ruling over the skies and the land with their immense strength and magical abilities.

Issei had read about dragons in books and seen them depicted in anime and manga, but nothing had prepared him for the reality of seeing one in person. The dragon's scales shimmered, and its wings stretched out to an impressive span. It was a true force of nature, a living and breathing embodiment of power and majesty.

As Issei continued to gaze upon the dragon, he couldn't help but feel a sense of....wonder and awe. This was a creature that had been revered and feared by humans for centuries, and now he was standing in its presence. It was a moment he knew he would never forget.

Issei: "Holy shit... your a Dragon, an actual Dragon..."

???: "I am Ddraig, The Red Welsh Dragon Emperor of Domination"

Issei gulped as the massive creature stared him down.

Issei: "W-well then, Ddraig. Why are you here? What did I do to piss off a dragon?"

Ddraig let out a small chuckle of amusement as he shook his colossal head.

Ddraig: "You did not do anything, Issei Hyoudou. I am just greeting my partner is all"

Issei, with every amount of strength he had left in his body raised an eyebrow.

Issei: "P-partner?..."

Ddraig: "Yes, for you see, Issei Hyoudou…..You are my host and partner"

Issei blinked.

Issei: "Say what?..."

Ddraig: "Allow me to explain, Partner"

Ddraig went on to explain to Issei that in the past, he was a fearsome Dragon known to have powerful flames that could incinerate anything, including Gods, much to Issei's shock.

Ddraig then went on to say that he eventually met another dragon named Albion, who was immune to his flames. He was happy to meet someone who can rival him, Ddraig sealed his flames and started to compete with Albion to improve themselves, developing techniques such as Boost and Penetrate, and both eventually became famous as the Two Heavenly Dragons. During their many battles to improve themselves, both the Heavenly Dragons rampaged in the Realm of the Dead.

At one point, while continuing his battle with his arch-rival, the Vanishing Dragon, Albion, which was interrupted by the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels who were at war during the time. In anger, both Dragons attacked the leaders of the Three Factions, which led to their bodies being destroyed and their souls being sealed into two separate Sacred Gears, with Ddraig being placed inside the Longinus Sacred Gear; "Boosted Gear".

Over the centuries, Ddraig has met with countless hosts possessing his Sacred Gear, some of whom have faced off against possessors hosting Albion's spirit to continue the Dragon's long lasting rivalry until Issei became his host ever since he was born.

Issei: "Wait, so you have been with me since I was born?"

Ddraig nodded his head.

Ddraig: "Yes, but at that time you were very weak so I fell into a deep slumber"

Issei: "Eh....still, the fact that you have been with me for basically all of my life is...a little weird"

Ddraig: "What I find weird is that despite being exhausted, your still able to speak with me, partner"

Issei waved the dragon off.

Issei: "Plot convenience"

Ddraig: "What?"

Issei: "So, I get that were partners but....does this mean were technically brothers? I mean you were with me when I was born?"

Ddraig: "Well, yes and no"

Issei: "A-alright then..."

Issei was still trying to wrap his head around what was currently happening, not only did he end up in a Demon world and met two people who had supernatural powers...but he also had a dragon inside of him.

How could this get anymore weirder.

Issei: "So, what does this mean for me? You know...having you?"

Ddraig: "Well, I will grant you immense power. But this will mean that powerful enemies will want to seek you out, they will want to either recruit you or take you out of the picture"

Issei: "……I accept"

Ddraig was a little surprise, but he soon chuckled.

Ddraig: "Oh? You accept? Even though there is a chance that you'll be hunted down?"

Issei let out a small chuckle.

Issei: "Ddraig, if you take a look at my current position. I dont see a reason to not accept you, plus its not like Dante or Vergil can sense you"

The Welsh Dragon took a moment to think about what his partner said, while it was true that both Dante and Vergil were clearly not human. He wasnt sure if they would be interested in him and his power, they probably already have great power without a need of any help.... well Dante does anyway.

Ddraig: "You do have a point, partner. Also, there is a way for you to return home"

Hearing this instantly gained Issei's full attention, a way back home. There was actually a way for him to return to his home, to his family and friends, to Yuuma who was waiting for their date.

Issei felt that it was almost too good to be true, the brown-haired boy had to be imagining this.

Issei: "T-theres a way for me to get home!"

Ddraig: "At your current level of power, no....but with a little bit of time you should be able to open a portal to the Dimension Gap"

Hearing those words caused Issei to raise an eyebrow in curiosity and confusion, what the hell was the dimension gap?

Issei: "What’s the dimension gap?"

Ddraig: "I won't go into to much detail, but let's just say that its a place in between all dimensions where reality, space, and time are wrapped completely"

Issei: "Oh...."

Ddraig: "Anyways, enough talk. Its time"

Issei raised another eyebrow in confusion.

Issei: "for what?"

Ddraig grew a small smirk.

Ddraig: "Its time for your...Awakening"
