3 Chapter 3

[Host: Akira]

[Status: Wounded, still recovering]

[Race: Devil]

[Talent: Common]

'I'm finished!'

Akira wanted to cry, but he had no tears.

His entire body had already been damaged, and he even burned his own blood to temporarily strengthen himself, causing his once high-level common talent to fall only to common.

This situation was the same as killing him, since with his low talent, he would probably never be able to become strong enough to survive this chaotic world.

And there was something even worse, he failed the mission issued by the system, meaning he would never be the protagonist again!

Grayfia frowned and said, "Was it a mistake to save him?"

Akira became angry upon hearing Grayfia's words, and with an angry tone he said, "I worked so hard to die, what right do you have to save me? You didn't even ask me if I wanted to be saved. Do the devils of this place have that much time to save me?"

"..."

"Do we need your permission to save you? I must say that you are really unreasonable."

Even Grayfia who was normally calm couldn't help but take a deep breath as she looked disgustedly at Akira.

'This ungrateful bastard!'

Akira seeing that arguing would get him nowhere, let out a long sigh, "Forget it! I'm not going to argue with you."

He lay back down on the bed, and looked up at the ceiling with a blank stare.

'It's too late, even with all my efforts I still failed.'

Ding~

The voice of the system sounded in his mind.

[Host Akira failed in his mission to be a low-ranking villain, so the function of reincarnating as a protagonist was disabled.]

"Just as I imagined..."

Akira sighed sadly.

With the reincarnation function disabled, he would stay in this world forever, and as a devil, he would probably live for thousands of years, which might not seem bad, but with his low talent, he was destined to be the punching bag of the powerful for thousands of years.

[The system detected a change in the plot.]

Before he could let out another sigh, he again heard the voice of the system in his mind.

[Adjusting the system to the current situation...]

[The mission 'Being a low-ranking villain' was cancelled and the mission 'Destined Villain' was started.]

"Huh? A new mission?"

Akira quickly opened the system panel.

Looking carefully, Akira almost jumped out of bed in joy!

According to the description of the new mission, contact that he plunders the fortunes of others and changes the direction of the original plot, he can get great rewards from the system.

He also noticed a big emphasis, on the name 'Destined Villain'.

As a big reader of villain-themed stories, he knew that he would be destined to face the protagonist of this world at some point. And he knew it wouldn't be easy at all, especially when the protagonist of this world had a huge amount of plot armor.

"Besides, changing the plot won't be easy!"

This is the world of 'High School DxD'.

Akira was a big reader of this story before transmigrating. He even read side stories while waiting for updates to this story.

Unfortunately he was not able to read the last chapters of this story, because he was sent to this world before the last chapters were released. But even though he didn't know the end of the story, he had a tremendous amount of general knowledge. In addition to being familiar with the powers, treasures and people of this world.

He could treat this world as his backyard!

"Since I didn't become the protagonist, I'll just become the 'Destined Villain'."

The sadness that was in his heart had already disappeared.

Grayfia seeing Akira's rapidly changing expression sighed, "I don't understand why Rias wanted to save him."

Akira frowned slightly and asked, "Rias asked you to save me?"

"Who else could?"

Grayfia continued saying, "You and Rias are enemies, but for some reason, she chose to save you, I really can't understand her."

Rias even used a Phenex Tear to save him, which shows what a huge price she paid.

Grayfia really was confused.

Akira finally realized something, and his face turned pale.

"If my memory serves me right, I kissed Rias before I died!"

"And as a girl with a spoiled personality, she will probably ask her brother to torture me eternally! If she kills me instantly it will be as a favor!"

"Damn, she probably kept me alive, just to torture me!"

Sweat dripped down Akira's head.

"I need to escape immediately!"

Akira was no match for her even in his prime, and now that he was at his weakest, how could he deal with her? Besides there was a Grayfia next door, who was considered the strongest Queen in the underworld.

"Even the reincarnation function has been disabled, meaning if I die it will be permanent!"

Akira ignored the pain in his body, and got up to run away.

But suddenly the door of the room opened.

Akira froze!

Slowly turning his head, he saw a familiar figure in the doorway.

With a non-smiling smile, Akira said, "Yo, Rias! It's been a while, how have you been?"

Rias had a cold expression on her face, "Where do you think you're going?"

With an embarrassed expression, Akira turned back to the bed and said, "I was just checking the floors in the room, after all someone might slip."

"Grayfia, you can leave first."

"Yes! Any problems just let me know."

Grayfia looked at the two people before shaking her head and leaving the room.

Now only Akira and Rias remained in the room.

Rias closed the door, and began to write a soundproof matrix, she didn't want the people in the mansion to hear what she had to say.

Seeing that the matrix was already working, she approached Akira as she pulled out a chair to sit next to him.

Akira seeing that his situation was not good, just let out a sigh of resignation. He could already see his bleak future.

He leaned back against the back of the bed.

After a few moments of silence, Rias finally said a few words, "Do you know why I saved you?"

Rias' first question almost made Akira cry.

With a bitter smile, he said, "Rias... I don't think it's good to talk about these things, after all I..."

"So you remember, I thought you would pretend to have amnesia."

Before he could finish his speech, Rias interrupted him while gritting her teeth in anger.

Akira shook his head slightly, as if disagreeing with what Rias had said, "I am a man after all, and a kiss is a kiss. I'm not afraid to admit that I kissed her."

Rias took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Hearing Akira say about the kiss still bothered her, but at least he hadn't faked amnesia or any other lame excuse.

But even if he admitted it, she was still angry, since she could still feel vividly the place where she was kissed. Even her lip still bore a mark from the fierce kiss.

A red aura began to circulate in Rias' body.

Akira knew that this was the Power of Destruction, which Rias could not control, and which sometimes leaked out due to her strong emotions. He also knew that if she attacked him with this power, he would probably die in agony.

"The reason I saved you is so that I can settle this matter."

Rias stared at him with her beautiful blue eyes, "Why did you kiss me?"

Akira bowed his head slightly, so that she would not see his emotions.

'Why?'

'Maybe because I wanted you to have nightmares about me because of this kiss?'

Akira was sure that if he said that sentence, he would definitely die, and it would not be in a quick way.

His brain started working at an incredible speed. Thinking about the answers he could give beautiful girl who was sitting in the chair.

"Don't you have anything to say? I guess it was just for revenge, right?"

Rias' voice contained a trace of disappointment and also bitterness.

She was about to get up and leave the room, but suddenly she saw Akira's head rising up.

Akira had a peaceful smile on his face as he stared at her gently.

"Because I like you."
