DXD OVERLORD

LEVEL TWO OF THE FIELD DUNGEON Location Field Dungeon Area 2

Laharl spent the next couple of months, training in his swordsmanship and also handling his new sword, Zanbato. Those months proven to be quite fruitful. As he has the sword skills of swordsman with some time of experience, he was still very far from being a expert swordsman, especially since he still hasn't found a fighting style that suited him. But at least in combat with another capable opponent, he was confident that he can handle himself.

With that the red and blue antennae haired, Bael heir, was ready to dungeon dive again. His target is to adventure through the next area of the Field Dungeon, and grow stronger than before. After accessing the Field Dungeon entrance, he used the waypoint to go directly to the next area. Appearing in a blue flash, as he looked around where he was. As he saw that he was in a cave system, with green grass on the ground...Laharl, tilted his head to the side, as he thought, "A cave...field?" Shrugging, he stretched out his right, gloved hand, with his scarf wrapping around said arm, then unwrap and revealed his massive sword, Zanbato. Like usual he rested his Zanbato over his shoulder, and started to traverse deeper into this cave system.

Laharl, he walked on in the cave path. After a while he heards some weird noises. Making Laharl stop walking forwards, his reddish pink eyes focused and looking around the cave. Then a stereotypical/comical bomb with a ignited fuse, rolled over at him, reacting quickly, he leap away from the bomb as it exploded. Grabbing his Zanbato's handle with both hands, and looking in front, to find the one responsible for sneak-attacking him. As a couple of white skinned, green robed Ghost came out the cave path. These are the iconic ghost monsters from the Disgaea series, while not physically strong these monsters are magical strong.

Which was safe to assume that this area is a mainly a magical focus field. As one of the Ghosts was about to make a move, it let out a chirping sound, but Laharl wasn't going to wait to find out what the ghost was going to do. Using his Blade Rush technique, he quickly closed the distance between and cut the ghost that was about to cast something, this caused some major damage to the monster, but it was still alive. So he quickly hit that ghost with another slash, taking it down, so he can focus on the other Ghost.

That ghost chirped and sent a electric blast at him, most likely the Tie Down skill from Disgaea 2. Using his scarf as a shield, he covered his body, as three rings formed around Laharl, and started tightening and shocking him. If not for his scarf, he'd suffer a greater amount, but still he was hit by the blast. Once it finished, Laharl unwrapped his scarf from his body and struck. Slashing the ghost, four times with his Zanbato to take it down. Only suffering some minor burns, he still won.

As the ghost produced green colored, floating orbs. Green Exp, he wandered what this exp-drop enhances. Walking over to the orbs, he absorbed them and he felt his mind growing stronger this time. His intellect, memory, and analytic skill grew. Resting his Zanbato on his shoulder, he started understanding this dungeon better. The first area was mainly focus on strength, a open field were monsters can overpower the dungeon diver, while this area is more closed-off, with little space. Mainly focusing on magical enemies and to enhance the intelligence of the diver.

He sighed a bit disappointed. While he welcomed the added benefits, Laharl, he wasn't a intellect based fighter. If this area, enhanced his magic power it be better for him. Now they he understood the purpose of this area, he stored away his Zanbato and decided to leave for now. While the Ghosts weren't tough per say, he knows that he needed to be slightly stronger for when he find whatever the Boss of this area is. So he'll train, hunt, and fight some more, before he delve deeper into the cave area.

AGE 4 Location the Underworld, Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, the Training Field

Laharl was practicing his sword swings, while he wasn't alone that day. It wasn't his trainers, but it was Rias. She has been coming over a lot during this year. They were now four-year old, and Rias was sighing with clear boredom in her expression. As she said, "Laharl-kun. Can you stop swinging your sword, and play with me?" her voice showing clear signs of whining. Laharl, he sighed as he swung his Zanbato one final time. Wiping sweat off his forehead, and turned to look at the pink dressed Rias.

It was clear that Rias was starting to show his spoiled side of her personality, meaning that soon she'll learn about anime and manga culture, and head to Japan. Which in turn means that soon her future Queen, and best friend Akeno Himejima, will enter her life. The half-fallen, and daughter of Baraqiel, also the poor victim of a fallen angel attack that cost her, her mother and made her grow resentful of her fallen angel half and of her father, until she finally overcame her traumas. Laharl stored away his Zanbato, and crossed his arm, as he asked Rias, "What do you want to do, Rias?" this made Rias excited, as she rushed over to him and pulled him to the mansion.

After he entertained Rias playing a game or two, she dragged him over to the Theater Room...just a fancy family room, with a large comfy sofa, some tables with boardgames, and a big plasma screen TV. His mom had this room made, a year ago, since he wasn't interested in the anime of DXD, since they make rip-off of mainstream anime. But Rias wanted them to watch some movies, as she rushed over to a shelf with some dvds. Whatever he could enjoy a few hours of movies, so he sat on the wine colored sofa, and as soon as Rias put on a Disney movie...Lilo & Stitch, not bad...she rushed over to sit next to him, and they started the movie.

FIRST SUMMONING Location Near the Bael Territory: Open Field Near the Mansion

It was finally time. After several years, his Demon Summoning System was fully charged and active now. As the system manifested in gold, resembling almost a scroll, like some systems from Manwha, he has read in his past. Red colored wording appeared on this scroll, as he read it. Seems that the system was purposely in a stand-by state for his benefit. As more time passes without use, he can use that accumulated time to custom and edit the life of his chosen summon. A day is lesser event like changing a hobby, or other miniscule thing connected to his target. A week equals average events like a meeting with someone, or event that shapes one of the aspect of the character. A month were big events like crushes, impactful choices, and shaping events. And lastly a year is basically complete manipulation over that character life into a certain level.

The scroll even showed that waiting also aided in customizing stronger characters and better assuring a connection between them. Laharl smiled, as this meant that he can make his favorite characters easier to handles and bond with. As the Demon Summoning System, asked him to chose a demon or monster to summon.

He quickly though of who to summon. He chose a character he really liked for many reasons. Her name is Kyoko Needleworker, from Disgaea 3. Loyal followers of Raspberyl and the best friend of Asuka Cranekick, Kyoko was part of the main cast of that entry of the series. A sweet girl, a kunoichi demon with grace, manners, adoration of learning, and much potential. He can manipulate her age, making her his same age, and bond with her. Granting her the ability to use all skills from both Ninja and Kunoichi classes from the Makai games. Plus she was beautiful and sexy, with a lovely personality that he knows that his mom will love, especially since Kyoko is diligent student...even if in Disgaea 3, a good student is equal to a delinquent he finds it funny.

Regardless, he choice was made. As he said her name, "Summon. Kyoko Needleworker." his golden scroll system, started to glow bright, as all the edits that he wanted to make on Kyoko were molding her. First she was younger, at the same age as he is, secondly instead of her meeting either Beryl or Asuka, she meet him in the DXD world and he provided her a home and place to grow stronger and get the education she always wanted. As the light dimmed it revealed a pink recolored Disgaea kunoichi look, with younger body type fitting Kyoko's current age. Her spiky black hair, which is also ponytailed, while half of her face is covered in her kunoichi mask. A scroll and rope strapped on her back, she blinked a couple times, before she realized that she was standing in front of him.

Kyoko, she bowed politely and saying, "My lord. Is good to see you well." Laharl smiled, as he told her to call him by his name. She blushed and rubbed her arms and legs in clear fluster. As she said in a shy sounding voice, "Yes, my...I mean, Laharl-sama." shaking his head, as he knew that be best he'll get for now. Laharl now has his first future peerage member, and obviously more. She'll make a fine knight, as it'll double her speed, fitting her ninja skills. He walked over to her, making her more flustered and secretly happy, as Laharl got closer to her. Laharl grabbed her hand, and told her, "Come on, Kyoko. Let's go home." making her nod and they started to make their way to the mansion.

MOM MEETS KYOKO Location Belladonna's Mansion: Belladonna's Study

Laharl brought Kyoko back to his home. Immediately he led his kunoichi-demon girl to meet his mom. They entered her study, as she was sitting on her workdesk, working on some paperwork. As she looked up from her paperwork, she saw her son and a cut girl, dressed like a ninja in dark shades of pink. Her son step forward and said to her, "Mom. Let me introduce my friend, and future peerage member, Kyoko Needleworker." the devil girl, now introduced as Kyoko, took a step forward and respectfully bowed to her.

She said in a lovely, and respectful voice, "How do you do ma'am? I am Kyoko Needleworker, it is a pleasure to meet you." Belladonna, she gushed on how cute and politeful that this girl is. She stood off her sit, and walk passed her desk, creating a magic vermillion colored glyph having the Bael symbol on it, then she lifted the glyph up to her ear. And she spoke to someone, probably Marron, as she mentioned bringing some tea and snacks, after nodding some times, Belladonna cut off her comunication spell, as she offered Kyoko a sit on the round table on her study.

Kyoko, thanked Belladonna for the offer and walked over to sit only for Laharl to use his scarf, to extend and pull back her chair for her. She blushed and thanked her master, as she sat down and Laharl pushed her chair next to the table. Belladonna, she mentally gushed over the cute sight that happened in front of her, she was soo happy her son was a gentleman with girls, and also brought such a lovely girl home, she could tell easily. As her son join Kyoko, sitting next to her, and Belladonna, was the last to join them.

In a few moments Marron arrived with a silver tray, that has fresh warm teapot and cups, along with several treats. Rolling the tray over to them, she placed a cup for each of them, as Kyoko showed thanks and gratitude to the head maid, which she appreciated. Serving tea to each of them, and placing some sugar cubs, treats, and the teapot as well, as Lady Belladonna said, "That is all Marron. Again thank you, we'll call if we need anything else. Please take a rest will you.", Marron bowed to her mistress, young lord, and guest, as she left with the tray, while looking back at the pink ninja girl, she's curious on who that is, but she can satisfy her curiosity later, there was still work to be done. As she left the room.

The three devils started drinking tea and eating the provided snacks, Belladonna asked her son and his friends some questions. Such as when they meet, and also who Kyoko is? Laharl answered the first that during one of his hunts, he came across Kyoko in danger and he saved her, which Kyoko nodded in confirmation. Since then they been meeting now and again, learning that Kyoko is a kunoichi that wants to gets some education, since she originated from a poorvish village. Kyoko confirmed Laharl tale, as that was the background that he gave her when he summoned her.

Kyoko spoke next, answering Lady Belladonna's question. She is a ninja-in-training, her hobbied are knitting, crochet, and learning. Since her home village was poor, and too isolated she couldn't get as much education as she wanted. This story touched Belladonna, since she'd heard her son claim that Kyoko is going to be apart of his Peerage and their a clear connection between them. She offered her home to her, and even promised to grant her all she needs, which includes all the education that Kyoko could want. Kyoko, was soo happy and thanked Lady Belladonna, swearing she'll do all in her power to repay this kindness, and serve Laharl with all her might...when she realized what she did and said, she blushed a bright red and tried to hide her shame. Which only made her more adorable in Belladonna's eyes. And with that Kyoko joined his home and side, things are looking up for Laharl, as they spend the rest of their time talking and enjoy each other company.
