Chapter 1

Within a workshop, a male could be seen tinkering with some kind of contraption. He was a tall male with caramel skin and long, messy black hair, which is in a ponytail to keep from interfering with his work. A few minutes later, he celebrated something. This is Elijah Haskell, the 17-year-old son of Charles Haskell.

Elijah: Yes! Finally! I've created the automatic can opener!

In all actuality, Elijah was someone who was reincarnated from another world.


Flashback
A somewhat older Elijah could be seen packing up his papers and books after a college lecture. Despite it being the day before graduation, he was attending a lecture less about actual education and more about general life advice. As he packed up everything to leave, he was met with a group of boys. Elijah being Elijah, he just smiled at them.

Elijah: Hello, how are you guys?

Jock 1: Well since we're graduating tomorrow and all, some of the boys thought we should throw a party to celebrate. And since you have that whole job lined up for you we thought it'd be unfair to leave you out.

Elijah: Oh I....never been to a party before, but I'll come.

Elijah just gave his trademark smile, one that with his geeky personality, made him popular with a lot of the girls on campus. However, he had a dark past he harbored for a long time. Elijah was a heavily abused child born to an alcoholic father and a slut of a mother. This, combined with being a "nerd", got him bullied his entirety of gradeschool. The only thing that got him through it was the world of science. People like Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Gregor Mendel, Erwin Schrödinger, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and even Bill Nye had a positive effect on his lonely mind and isolated psyche. Getting into college on a full ride for two science majors sent him over the moon even if his parents tried to mooch off of his success.

As he progressed through college, his professors saw him as an avid learner and a scientific prodigy. Even if his majors were in Technology and Chemistry, many professors of other departments commended his knowledge of other fields of science. Even professors in the mythology and occultism departments (because his school has those majors) commended his willingness to learn.

Later on that day, Elijah had met the guys in the spot they agreed on. They led him into a warehouse, which was just a good place for a party. After a few hours of partying, things started to get sour for Elijah. He got cornered by the guys and asked what he was doing there. After telling them how he was invited, they laughed. The guys then proceeded to beat Elijah to a bloody pulp. When the warehouse security guards arrived at the building, they found Elijah bleeding out of his nose and mouth, a broken collar bone, a crushed hand, a shattered ankle, and his face almost unrecognizable.

Seeing his battered state, there was panic amongst the group of assailants. The guys then called 911 after realizing just how badly they beat Elijah. They begged him not to tell on them when the paramedics and police arrived, though it wouldn't matter in the end. Elijah would unfortunately die before he even made it to the hospital.

Within a black void, Elijah sprung awake and found himself sitting in a chair. He looked around, seeing nothing but the inky blackness and hearing only mind-numbing silence.

???: Ah, so you've noticed.

Elijah looked up to see a male silhouette made entirely of dim white light.

Elijah: Who....who are you? Where am I?

???: You may call me.....Creator. I am the creator of this universe.

Elijah: You're....God?

Creator: No no, I am not any deity from a religion. I am simply the creator of all in this universe, specifically the concept of creation. As for why you're here....

Though there was no face, Elijah could tell he was sad.

Creator: There was a dispute among the gods of Earth and one was so angry he unfortunately cursed a random collective of humans with unfortunate luck. You were one of those unlucky humans.....

Elijah: W-what?

Creator: The abuse, bullying, mistreatment, and your death, they were all because one god was angry with another one.

Elijah felt tears fall from his green eyes as realization hit him. If this was a god, then what he's saying is true.

Creator: But, I'd like to make it up to you. You can be reincarnated to another world to restart your life.

Elijah thought for a few moments, his mind going through all the good and bad of his life. Thinking, actually thinking, it wouldn't be so bad. Then again, nothing would be worse that his previous life.

Elijah: Yeah, I'll take it.

Creator: Excellent. Now while you won't be able to pick the world, I do have some things to give you so you won't die.

Elijah: Wait die?

Creator: Yes, I'm sending you to a world where the Supernatural plays a heavy part in its development but keeps themselves a secret from the rest of the world.

Elijah: Well.....there would be Holy Wars if some religions found out there were others.....what are you going to give me?

Creator: Well in this world, the biblical God created artifacts called Sacred Gears for humans to give them the ability to contend with the supernatural world. Here.

With a wave of his hand, Creator conjured a book that floated in front of Elijah. Amazed, he carefully held the book, running his hands along its cover. 

Creator: It copies and archives information and magic, perfect for someone like you. It's called Magus's Archive, I felt like you'd benefit from something that grants you magic from a scientific standpoint.

Elijah: Wow....thank you.

Creator: It's my pleasure, now you should be getting ready. I don't know how your life will end up in this new world, but your Sacred Gear has a sort of System screen like those stories you used to read to help you comb through information and give you important notifications.

And with that, Creator sent Elijah to his new life in a new world.
Flashback End


It's been a few months since Elijah came to this new world, though he still keeps to himself most of the time. Though this only made him adorable to the girls as he seems to have a bit of difficulty communicating with people, especially those his age. Even some of the teachers found it cutely amusing how excited he gets talking to them about academic subjects. Elijah sighed a little as he put the contraption away and left his workshop, going to his room to put on some clothes. After picking a nice outfit, he put his hair in a messy ponytail.

Satisfied with his look, Elijah left his house. Well, house wasn't even close to what you'd call it. Elijah lived in a mansion in Kuoh, Japan, a town brimming with supernatural activity. Elijah's new father, Charles Haskell, was the owner of a multi-million dollar technology company called Ex Machina. It used to be a weapon manufacturing company based in the United States, but Charles wanted to innovate rather than destroy, though Ex Machina does manufacture parts for weapons despite this. Even though Elijah was excited to be the son of a CEO of a company that would let his technological talents and even scientific interests flourish, he's sad he rarely gets to spend time with Charles with him being a busy CEO and all. Elijah just sighs as he walks down the stairs, getting the attention of a few maids and butlers on his way out. He waved them goodbye as he left through the front door. As he walks to school, he can't help but see a few of his classmates staring at him. Though, he just smiled and waved at them, knowing their eyes are on him and not having a bad thing to say about it. He made his way to his first period class, not worried about much of anything.

Elijah: I'm happy the student council agreed to go through with the casual Friday thing. It really seemed to boost morale. 

Students all spoke to Elijah, simple greetings with a few compliments, some a bit more flirtier than usual. Not that it made Elijah uncomfortable, it actually makes him happy people are so accepting. After a bit of walking, he finally made it to his first period class. Though he was fairly early, not that it bothered him nor did it seem unusual. He just sat down, spoke to the teacher, and read his book, which was his Sacred Gear disguised as an old leather book. While this would normally be suicide to someone in the Supernatural world, Magus's Archive can essentially hide its presence so long as Elijah doesn't actually fight. He can even still look through his information and magic while hiding its presence.

Elijah: 'Even with some of Dad's connections, I was only able to find a book on basic Fire Magic. I can't just go out and search for magic books as I am now......'

Eventually, Elijah just shook his head clear of those thoughts and put his book away due to class starting.


Timeskip
As the school day was coming to an end, Elijah aimlessly walked around the campus. During this time, most students would be trying to leave campus to go home, go to afterschool jobs, or make it to whatever clubs they've signed up for. Elijah fell into neither of those categories. He wasn't in a rush to go back to a lonely mansion nor did he need a job, and he certainly didn't have a club he signed up for, none of them really appealed to him.

Elijah: Damn....where's all the supernatural at this place? I need some way to learn more magic.

Elijah looked up to the sky, a habit he'd developed when deep in thought, and looked towards the old schoolhouse building. From what he understood, it was where the Occult Research Club held their meetings and activities and was led by the "Great Onee-san's of Kuoh". He wondered if they had some books on magic they didn't know about. As he looked at the old building, he noticed someone staring back. 

The two locked eyes for a brief moment before she gracefully left, leaving Elijah to ponder for a bit. Not long after, he continued his own wandering, thinking about his own goals and agenda.

Back in the club house, the girl sat down and looked at a chess board. She's a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, white skin, blue eyes, and a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair, which she also inherited from her father, that reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. Though despite today being casual Friday in the school, she wore the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform. This was Rias Gremory, president of the Occult Research Club and the King of her Peerage of Devils. 

Rias: Akeno, Who was that boy?

Rias looked to the girl next to her. Like Rias, she was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, though with breasts and an ass bigger than Rias's, very long black hair, and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a very long ponytail, reaching all the way down to the floor with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. This is Akeno Himejima, the Vice-president of the Occult Research Club and Rias's Queen.

Akeno: What boy?

Rias: The one with the black hair and green eyes.

Akeno: Does he look like a foreigner?

Rias: Yes, his skin is brown.

Akeno gave a small giggle as Rias looked intently at her chessboard.

Akeno: Well he's rather famous in school. His name is Elijah Smith, a shy, handsome, and nerdy foreign exchange student who has been here for two months now. He's in Class 2-A.

Rias moved one of her chess pieces, humming a bit.

Rias: You seem to know an awful lot about him, a crush perhaps?

Akeno giggled.

Akeno: No, Sona was curious about his file and found out he's actually the son of CEO Charles Haskell.

Rias moved another piece with a raised eyebrow.

Rias: Really? Doesn't it seem a bit strange for someone like him would come all the way to Japan to be enrolled in a normal school?

Akeno: Perhaps Elijah wanted to live like a regular person before shouldering all of those responsibilities.

Rias looked at the chessboard before moving another piece. With a satisfied hum, she got up and started to take her clothes off.

Rias: Checkmate, your trap was easy to see through.

Akeno: Aw, I tried to make it harder for you this time.

Rias: I look forward to next time. Also, keep an eye on Elijah, I have a feeling we'll be getting a new member soon.

Akeno giggled as she folded Rias's discarded clothes.

Akeno: You'll have to act fast, President. Sona has her eye on him as well, he is one of the smartest students in school after all. 

A few minutes later, Elijah was seen sitting on a bench as he was still thinking. He heard footsteps and looked up to see another of Kuoh's famous ladies, but she wasn't giving off the same aura as Rias or Akeno. No, this girl was an intense goth girl with pale skin and deep yet bright red eyes. She's a bit taller than Akeno standing at 5'10 with a figure even curvier and plumper than Rias or Akeno's. Her long, voluminous silver hair reaches to her lower back with her head shaved on the right side. Like many of the students, she wore more civilian clothes due to it being casual Friday in the form of a gray shirt and black jacket with tight black leather pants and black boots. She also has earrings and a black choker. This is Loona, the "Great Wolf Queen" of Kuoh who earned her reputation for being the thickest girl with an apathetic attitude, much different than Rias and Akeno or Sona and Tsubaki.

Elijah: Oh um...hello there.

Loona: Wow you really are a stuttering mess when you see some fine shit huh?

Elijah: I um...

Loona sat down next to him, making Elijah jump a little.

Loona: Don't worry I won't bite you....hard.

Elijah blushed at her flirtatious comment.

Elijah: Sorry, I'm just really bad at this stuff.

Loona hummed and crossed her legs as she played with her hair.

Loona: So what's your name?

Elijah: Ah my name is Elijah Smith.

Loona looked at him for a few seconds before smiling.

Loona: Hm....How about I take you out on a date tomorrow?

Elijah looked at her with some surprise. He's fully aware of his looks and status within the school, even the rumors circulating around he's the heir to some fortune, which they're right about, but most girls liked teasing him because they found him cute. He hadn't gotten that many girls who wanted to go out with him, to his knowledge at least.

Elijah: Why me?

Loona: I like ya, and I want ya. Plain and simple. Plus, there are a lot of girls wanting you, so I guess you can say I want to see if you can keep up with a woman.

Elijah just thought about it for a moment before nodding.

Elijah: Alright, I guess it'd be nice to get out of that house for a while.

Loona giggled and kissed his cheek before leaving, giving Elijah a light blush. He sat there for a little bit longer before getting up to leave.

Elijah: What a woman....


The next day
As Saturday rolled around, Elijah and Loona discussed the meetup spot over text as Loona gave him her phone number. Elijah showed up 10 minutes early wearing a black dress shirt with black jeans and some boots. His outfit was picked out by some maids as he was rather inexperienced with the whole dating thing, but he trusted them. He felt someone tap his shoulder and he turned around to see Loona in an outfit that leaves not much to the imagination.

Elijah: Wow you look....really hot. I mean-!

Loona giggled and bit her lip, poking her chest out a bit.

Loona: Wow such a Cassanova with the ladies~. You trying to get me weak in the knees stud~?

Loona wrapped her arms around Elijah's arm as the couple walked around.

Loona: So how has your life been?

Elijah looked down a bit at the question, but his voice came out soft and sad.

Elijah: Honestly it's been....rather lonely. My dad works a lot and while I'm happy he wants me to have a good life and all, but I do want to spend time with him.

Loona was stunned for a second before she cupped Elijah's cheek. Much to his surprise, she rubbed his head. No teasing, no sexual undertones, just a simple yet warm head pat.

Loona: You'll see him again soon, it may be a little lonely but he's just busy giving you the best life he can.

Elijah smiled up at her with a small chuckle. Loona smiled back as she squeezed his head with a laugh. The two kept walking around in silence for a while before coming across a restaurant. Loona grabbed his hand and took him inside.

Loona: C'mon let's eat.

They got a table and Loona sat next to Elijah, which he didn't mind at all. He was happy that she was still holding his hand and didn't want her to let go. She picked out the menu and they ordered their food before continuing their talk. They spoke about school and other things.

Loona: So you mean to tell me you got so mad at some guys for picking on this sissy guy you found him a 6'2 goth muscle mommy?

Elijah: Yeah, me and some friends even got temporary jobs at a movie theater and restaurant to make sure his date with her went well.

Loona: Wow.....you like tall girls?

Elijah: I....wouldn't mind one, but I'm 6'4 so it's a little hard finding a girl that tall.

Loona hums as their food arrives. Later they were walking through a park as the sun set.

Loona: I had a great time with you ya dork. You know what, you're my boyfriend now.

Elijah: Wait huh-

She cut him off by pressing a finger on his lips.

Loona: Shhhh~, be a good boy and don't question it.

Suddenly, Loona seemed to become more vigilant. Elijah noticed the sky turn a distorted purple and gold color as he felt several magical signatures emerging. Not long after, several figures descended from the sky all with a pair of black wings. Loona's eyes narrowed in disgust.

Loona: Fallen freaks....

One of the Fallen Angels laughs at her.

Fallen 1: What's this? A fleabag on a date?

A female Fallen Angel licks her lips upon seeing Elijah.

Fallen 2: And the other is a cute foreigner? Oh I want him~!

Loona got in front of Elijah protectively.

Loona: What the hell do you want?

Fallen 1: Oh, we just heard there was a stray in this area and we followed the trail here. Imagine our surprise when we find some random kid and a mutt on a date.

Fallen 5: It's disgusting.

Loona growled as her nails sharpened into claws.

Loona: Just stay behind me Elijah, I'll-

*snap*

Fallen 6: AHHHH!!!!

Everyone looks to see one of the Fallen had combusted into flames and burned to ash. Loona looked and saw Elijah with his hand outstretched as if he was the one who snapped.

Elijah: This is my first date.....with a girl that actually likes me.....and I'll be damned if I let a bunch of emo birds ruin it!

One of the Fallen recovered from the shock and threw a spear made of light at him out of anger. Elijah made a magic circle that stopped the spear and brought it to him.

Elijah: Fascinating, Light Magic? I never thought I'd get some new magic today.

The spear turned into particles and went into Elijha's Sacred Gear, which had manifested itself out of thin air. Loona saved him from getting sliced by another Fallen's attack. She noticed the book, despite what it did, had no trace of Fallen energy or even Light Magic.

Loona: Fine time to say you can use magic! You're lucky you're cute!

Elijah just chuckled a little, shooting a fireball at a Fallen as Loona kicked the head off another. The fight didn't last long before the rest of them fled out of fear. Elijah looked at his Sacred Gear and smiled a bit, getting a chuckle from Loona.

Loona: You're something else, I'll give ya that.

Elijah put his Sacred Gear away and looked to Loona.

Elijah: Do you mind me asking? What are you?

Loona's face went from happy and casual to serious.

Loona: I'm a Demon, specifically.....

Loona was engulfed in a blue light, which died down to reveal her in a new form....

Loona:....a Hellhound...

Elijah:......can I pet you?
