So I went to my workshop, which was outfitted with a cobblestone floor, a furnace with an anvil, and a worktable with several types of tools on it.

Moving over to the worktable I pulled out my Shade Cloth's and laid them on the table, and I quickly grabbed a needle and thread from the lining of the table.

[Several Minutes later]

[You've created the Crafting Skill, good for you, you can make stuff.]

[You've created a Shade's Hood]

[Shade's Hood]

[By pulling this up over your head you can hide your presence from most supernatural beings, that doesn't make you invisible however so if they smell you, hear you, or see you, you're busted.]

"Well this could be useful." I thought smirking as I looked over the tattered gray hood in my hands before putting it into my inventory.

After that I left my Sanctuary because I didn't have much more reason to stay here for the moment, unless I wanted to make a whole suit of Shade clothing, which I didn't at the time.

[]

After leaving my house I found myself at the park oddly enough, why? Well, it as quiet and no one was around, so I decided to see if I can summon more than one Spirit.

Turns out I could because now my shadow is currently hiding a total of 8 Shades… probably getting crowded in there now that I think about it.

"Vincent-San, I'm glad I found you here." The familiar voice of Akeno said from behind me, causing me to turn my head.

Sure enough, Akeno was standing there and holding a wrapped up object, but she was also accompanied by another.

A woman with long, crimson hair wearing the Kuoh academy female uniform, as well as also having a fanservice sized rack.

[Rias Gremory Lvl 50]

[Title: Gremory Hier]

[Race: Devil]

[Evil Piece: King]

[HP: 1,350/1,350]

[MP: 1,890/1,890]

"Hello again Akeno-San." I said waving at her half heartly, "Who's your friend?"

Rias smirked, "Greeting Vincent Lane, my name is Rias Gremory." Rias said holding her hand out.

"Nice to meet you Rias, I'd introduce myself, but you kinda stole that honor from me." I said, "So, what's this about? That bitch that tired to run me through last night for no reason?"

"Yes, Hiromi Haruta." Rias said sounding slightly annoyed, "What if I were to tell you she wasn't human?"

"Well, considering she sprouted wings just before I shot her full of lead and stabbed her with her own sword, I'd believe you." I said shrugging.

"I suppose that would make sense." Akeno said smiling.

"Hiromi was a Devil, more accurately a Stray Devil." Rias said, "Before I go further let me explain so I don't completely lose you."

I'm gonna be honest, I paid absolutely no attention to Rias's explanation about the Angel's, Fallen Angel's, and Devil's. Nor about the Evil Piece system really, I already knew that stuff and if I needed information I can simply review it in my menu.

"So…" I said after Rias finished, "Humans can be turned into Devils artificially using these Evil Pieces."

"Correct." Rias said, "Hirmoi was one of them, however, she went what we call Stray."

"And what is a Stray exactly?" I asked, deciding to humor her.

"A Stray is a Devil that has killed their master for power." Rias said, "Hiromi was one of these cases, she was a human turned Devil, she's been known to be rather ruthless when she was sent to hunt down Stray Devils, however her master has been holding her off fearing she was liking the killing a little too much."

"And in turn she attack him and ran off." Akeno finished.

"And wound up in your territory." I said, "Where she tried to kill me."

"Correct." Rias said, "I must admit it is very rare for a human to combat a Devil unless they had previously unlock and had trained with their Sacred Gear."

"And Sacred Gear are what exactly?" I asked.

"A Sacred Gear is an artifact bestowed upon humans by the God of the Bible." Akeno explained, "They are rare and only found in humans, but they stay with humans even if they are reincarnated as Devils, as such Devils often recruit such Sacred Gear users into their ranks for their powers."

"Then why was Hiromi recruited by… whoever." I asked genuinely interested.

"I can't say for sure." Rias admitted, "The only way to know would be to ask him or the other Pieces of his Peerage, which isn't going to be easy at the moment as we don't know who was in his peerage."

"Ah, well crap." I muttered.

"Vincent-San." Rias said looking at me, "I'd like to ask you to join my Peerage."

There's the recruitment offer, I mean I killed a Devil without a Sacred Gear, meaning to Devils I'm an interesting individual.

"How long will this offer be open?" I asked.

"I don't plan on closing this offer until I run out of Pieces." Rias said.

"I see…" I muttered, going into thought.

If I want to rehabilitate Raynare I'm going to need to stay human until the start of canon… which means for now I'm gonna need to say no.

"Seeing as the offer won't close for a while," I started, "I'd like to stay human a little while longer if you don't mind, I just moved to Kuoh after all, I'd like to adjust to living here before I make as big a decision as that."

Akeno and Rias nodded at that, "I suppose this is a big change for you after all." Rias said, "Very well, I'll give you some time to adjust to then."

"Until then." Akeno said holding out the wrapped object, "Seeing as you killed the Stray Devil it's only fitting that you received some form of reward. However seeing as there was no actually bounty on her e can only really give you this."

I took the wrapped object and unwrapped the cloth from it, revealing it to be Hiromi's blood red katana and it's sheath.

[Muramasa]

[This Katana is a bloodthirsty blade that refuses to return to its sheath until it has tasted blood. The rumor that all Musamasa blades are like this come sword, the darkest work of the Swordsmith Muramasa. Sometimes the Blade will inflict a rage upon it's wielder should they try to sheath the blade after it's drawn, but before its tasted blood. You won't be effected by this thanks to Gamer's mind, but it won't go back into it's sheath until it touches blood.]

'Holy shit, no wonder Hiromi went nuts.' I thought, 'A sword like this would drive people nuts without proper mental protection.'

"Thank you." I said nodding my head to Rias and Akeno, "However I do have things to do today so I'll see you two later."

"Of course Vincent-San." Rias said, "I go to Kuoh Academy, I'm President of the Occult Research Club, so if you need to find me that's where I'll be."

"Of course." I said, nodding, "I'll see you later Rias-San, Akeno-San."

[]

After the three of us split up I stowed away the Muramasa and began to wonder around town.

"Hello Vincent-San." Yet another familiar voice said from behind.

'Okay, you eight, you all are behind me, you guys should be letting me know people are behind me.' I thought annoyed.

I turned around to see none other than Yuuma standing behind me, "Hello again Yuuma, I take it you've been given permission to actually be able to hang out with me."

Yuuma gave me a small smile, "I have." Yuuma said.
