Chapter 5: The path of destruction (Highschool dxd X crossover)
Floating in the infinite void, all I can think of is, did I really need to die getting ran over by a fucking truck?
I thought to myself, remembering my death fondly. At this point, there was no reason to bitch or complain. I was dead, and there was nothing I could do about it.
But seriously, I thought after that I would go to the happy place, a.k.a. heaven, or the place where a red-skinned motherfucker pokes me with a fucking pitchfork for all of eternity.
But not this.
To avoid not doing anything but just floating, only having his thoughts to entertain him.

What? That was the only thing I could say before the darkness consumed me.

Gasping, I open my eyes, looking around the large room with confusion.
Grabbing my head, I can only growl feeling the pain as memories flashed through my mind in an instant, giving me the information on my new life.
I am Rickard Bael new lord of the seven great towers in the Bael territory in the underworld created by my ancestor and founder of my family Zekrama Bael I am a pure blooded devil my parents recently died in a clan meeting they were attacked by members of the all Satan faction.
Currently, I am 10 years old and a minor Lord the vessel to the current Lord bael Raegan Bael the current head of their clan and house and his uncle.
After receiving the memories of this person's body…..I mean it technically my body so I receive my own memories. I decided to stop taking on that because I did not want to enter into an existential crisis.
I started my usual routine, taking a shower before laying the maids change me. Is it just me or the women of this world have much much larger breast than the ones from my previous world?
After the maids finish changing me I walked to my office, being followed by some of the maids as I entered my office, I look around the large room I go sit down in my usual seat.
The moment I did, a screen popped up in front of me being a translucent screen. The screen looks kind of familiar.
[Transmigration completed background skills, perks added]
[Beginner bundle added as well located an inventory]
Immediately different options appeared on the screen, looking like a game. Clicking on my "abilities" option a list of skills and perks popping up.

Clicking off, he decided to dissipate the screen in front of him to test something.
Status what's the only thing he said as another screen popped up.
Rickard Bael
Race: Pure blood devil

Dexterity: E

Magic: C+

Points: 0
Information floods my mind on information on the system. My stats are divided between letters F-, F, F+, E-, E, E+, D-, D, D+ you get the picture all the way to SSS+ being the max.
With the information also provided by the system I also get a comparison F can be Low Class devils, E for Mid Class, D for High, C for Ultimate class, B for satan class, and anything above that I would be considered a super devil.
Obviously, every single way each letter means something different if you're a human and all your stats are SSS+ it's not the same level of power if it was a dragon or any other supernatural species superior to humans.
So each race had a racial limit to how strong they can get naturally. That standard even held it up to someone like me; they had a system.
The points are the way I can upgrade my skills. I can get points by completing quests or completing certain actions qualified as feats. I can also get points in another ways, but those are more complicated.
I can always train normally or do an upgrade quest, but using the points is much faster. Now for my beginner gift box, I thought as I open my inventory and a large box appeared on top of my office table.
The box is black with red ribbons decorating it opening the box my system gave me a notification.

A grin spread across my face. The possibilities running through my mind were endless.
Before I could delve further into my newfound powers, the office door swung open. A tall, imposing man entered, his long blond hair shimmering under the room's light. His violet eyes, identical to mine, locked onto me. Clad in ornate armor adorned with a golden cape, he carried an air of authority.
This was Dustin Bael, my distant relative and former regent. During his brief tenure managing my lands after my parents' deaths, he rarely interfered, focusing instead on training me in swordsmanship.
We weren't particularly close, but I knew he was loyal not just by blood but also by the demonic oaths my father had bound him to. Such oaths, though rare these days, were unbreakable contracts created to ensure obedience.
"Dustin," I greeted, leaning back in my chair, hiding my excitement behind a calm facade.
"Lord Rickard," he replied, his tone formal. "You requested a report on the territory."
"Yes," I said, the wheels in my mind turning. A new life. A new world. And a system to help me conquer it all.
-later-
After hearing Dustin's report, I continue playing with my system, upgrading some of my skills using some of my points buying some skills.

And with that my 10 K points were Use in a hopeful investment.
Every school self explainable, except [Business gain] essentially it was a skill that slowly granted points do how successful his businesses were in his territory.
They should give him a good amount of points for all of his businesses he has in the underworld they were created by his ancestors.
Dissipating the screens in front of him he decided to start looking through his documents to actually do the work of a lord since he arrived here.
After looking through some papers, he saw an interesting letter which had the Bael schedule as a stamp.
Opening it up, he started reading it and immediately destroyed it with his power of destruction.
The reason his uncle Raegan Bael announce the pregnancy of his wife to all of his Bannerman.
And do to certain laws passed by the current by the current Satan's regardless of gender, the child of his uncle will still be considered the heir replacing him as heir.
But as he let his anger out he immediately try to control it. I should've known eventually his uncle would've gone lucky and managed to impregnate his wife for once.
His uncle Raegan Bael for having extreme fertility issues, even for devils.
Despite being a pretty old devil, this was essentially his first child keep in mind, his sister and my aunt Venelana already had three children two of them a couple months ago she was younger than his uncle by a couple hundred years.
Regardless, this limited this options for any future plans he had.
Back to the drawing board.
