I found myself sitting on my workbench, going through the various data I received this morning, data that shows the results of the various tests done on my new game "DxD Online"—The game that I think is going to be my magnum opus for quite some time.
That doesn't mean I won't invent new things, seek new knowledge, or develop new techniques, no. It just means I likely won't have the opportunity to work on something like this again for a long time. I think.
This game of mine took me two full years and some months to create and develop. This isn't just any game, oh no. This is going to be the new reality of this world.
This little game of mine took inspiration from most of the fiction I knew—you know, after twisting and mending my favorite stories together—and that alone took a whole month of work.
The story of my game world is full of holes, but that's what makes it so exciting—because these holes are going to be filled by the inhabitants, the players, and reality itself.
I realize that this is a very crazy/stupid thing, but that's what makes it so much fun.
To create this game, I had to study almost every branch of mundane science, from normal mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology to advanced branches of said sciences, along with computer science, network development, and almost every kind of engineering there is.
And when all of this was done? I started with their magical equivalent. I started by studying almost every runic language in this world, be it primordial, ancient, or modern—and believe me, there were a lot—along with studying almost every branch of magic, be it mortal or divine in nature.
These studies took months of hard work, long nights, little to no sleep, and when you factor in the baby daughter I had to take care of and raise, you're going to get a pretty accurate picture of just how busy I have been.
'Sigh, I really shouldn't have started this line of thought. Now my narrator would start going over everything that happened since my visit to Kyoto. Again.' I shook my head in resignation.
This wasn't the first time I'd had my narrator go over everything again and again. I have tried to stop it, but when I do, I start getting twitchy—no, really, I start acting like a drug addict with withdrawal symptoms. It isn't pretty.
Still, I am satisfied with everything I have done during this time, especially my daughter, because no matter how much I tried to get myself to believe that this game was my magnum opus, it really isn't. My daughter, on the other hand, is. Raising her, teaching her, training her, and pretty much doing everything with her was and still is the highlight of my life.
She grew up big, strong, and very, very smart.
'She's still sleeping through her afternoon nap, but when she wakes up, you'll see…'
Ignoring my abrupt flash of prideful thought, I decided to take my phone and check what people thought about the new game announcement I posted on Devil Time.

Topic: "DxD Online" The new (one and only) immersive virtual reality game created by Harry Potter

Posted On Jun 8th, 2008:
OK. As you all know, I usually post anything and everything I can find about Harry Potter. Be it his new potions, known relationships, inventions, and almost everything I could find out about him. Now I am here to say that I was actually the seventh person to place an order for his new game (his website tells you the number). I don't know about you, but for me, anything that has Harry Potter's touch is worth it, plus it's not like it's expensive. It's actually very affordable, and that's by standard human evaluation, so for the rest of the supernatural races, it might as well be cheap.
Now for the real question: what do we expect from the game? Do you know any beta tester? Do you think it'll be up to expectations? I think it will be, but I want to hear your opinions…

Dude, it's not a competition. And how the f*ck did you reply already? I just posted the thread…

Heheheh, you'll never know…
Anyway, I am with you on this one. I was one of the first to order his game too; I was number 5 actually, so I was technically faster than you, but I am not going to brag about that…
So here's the thing: for me (and pretty much any youkai) anything the Sage offers for sale, we'll buy. I don't care what it is. I have been one of the first and most loyal customers since he opened his shop. My loyalty might have had something to do with the fact that my race is thriving thanks to him, but that was in the beginning.
Now I am here because I know for a fact that whatever he sells will be a quality product.

@deadly__poisonous__youkai I know what you mean. I have bought any and every product that had his name on it since his first potions hit the market. I was even scammed once when those fake potions came out two and a half years ago—you know, before Harry Potter went and made every one of his potions in rainbow colors just to say f*ck you to every alchemist and potioneer in the world.
I heard that to this day no one—not even Satan Beelzebub—could replicate how he made his potions take that color.
And let's not forget his warding bank—I bought one of those as soon as I saw the announcement. It was one of my best decisions. Those glowing stones have saved me from more assassins than I could count…
So yeah, I am ordering one of his games as soon as I get paid. I have a hunch that this game is going to be a life-changer…

I concur.
I too have been a fan since Sairoarg started selling his potions three years ago. I became a die-hard fan once he started selling those high-health potions of his, you know, the ones that totally kick the Phenex tears in the ass…
I heard from a friend of mine who works in the Satan office (the new Lucifer castle) that when these potions came out, the Phenex clan started making a huge fuss.
I even heard that they sent numerous assassins after him, but anyone who deals with the guilds already knows how those attempted attacks went…
Anyway, I wanted to say that I already ordered one, and I was number 1007, so…

@Minddevil @The real deal
Hah!!! Wake up, sheeple. Don't you see how all of this is just his way of taking control of devil society? Of the world? He's just a pathetic human.
You should be ashamed of yourselves for supporting this. It's treason against devilkind as a whole…

Oooooh, I didn't know old devils could be banned on this app. When was this rule added? When they started slandering Harry Potter again a year ago??
Still, as nice as it is to know there's a new feature in this app—I still want to talk about Harry Potter.
I remember I replied to one of your first threads about him, so it's only fair I reply to this one too.
Let's see. First of all, I want to say that I personally met the guy, and let me tell you, he's kind of an a*shole. A very handsome a*shole, but an a*shole nonetheless.
When I met him the first time, he didn't even acknowledge me, and when he saw me (months later) for the second time, he just looked at me with pity and said, "You should stop practicing magic and wait until I release my new game." Yes, he said that…
Now, I don't know about you, but I am kind of invested in this for a whole different reason, so I was one of the first to place an order for his game—number 55, by the way.
As for his other products, I only bought the warding bank (as any self-respecting magician should). It was and still is one of my best investments…

@ProperDevil Hahaha, you got banned!!!
Thank you, Satan Beelzebub, for this feature. This bitch needed something like that for ages now. I bet he installed this feature just for her…
Also, you might have noticed me fearlessly calling one of the old Satans a bitch—that's thanks to my trust in Harry Potter's warding bank. I might have added some very lethal curses into that little glowing orb as soon as I got it set up, so I kinda feel extremely safe right now…
@RedQueen …Intriguing…
I will be waiting for mine with bated breath…

OK. What's up with the internet? People are going crazy about this new game, and I mean CRAZY.
Even the human world is advertising it everywhere; people are waiting for their orders with all the excitement they can muster.
It's just a game, people… ah, who am I kidding? As soon as I saw the advertisement video, I went and ordered one. This is a game that lets you live another life. Who wouldn't want one???
I have said it before, and I'll say it again: Harry Potter is the second best thing since magical girl Lavia-tan~
Anyway, tell me: have you too ordered your own new life???

@The man No, I did not. I have learned my lesson after I lost 1/6 of my fortune on warding banks and potions. This guy's work is more complicated than my father's. It's quite frustrating…

Yeah, so the internet is apparently blowing up, and I didn't even do anything to make it so—this time around, at least.
The human world I knew about, but that's only because I kinda cast a worldwide compulsion to make different governments stop their interference before it even began.
I could have made a compulsion to make it so that everyone buys one, but that'll have to wait for a while…
"Daddy?" I heard my daughter calling me as soon as she opened the door. A door that should have been locked because it leads to my lab.
"Princess!!! Come here! How was your nap?" I asked my daughter as I quickly scooped her up and brought her into a hug—she was rubbing her eyes, clearly still a little drowsy.
"Hmmm, daddy, can we go to Kyoto now? We didn't go yesterday, and you promised we'd go today."
"I did promise that, didn't I? Well, if you can get ready in 15 minutes, then we'll go…" I didn't even get to finish the sentence before she hopped off my embrace and vanished into the shadows…
How cute…

[Yasaka]
She sat on the grass in her backyard, fondly watching her daughter sitting across from her, deep in her sage arts daily meditation session. This had become some sort of routine for her, especially now that the council meetings only happen once a week.
She found herself with a lot of free time, or more accurately, a lot more free time than before. Now all she had to do was sign some boring paperwork and occasionally solve a conflict or two between some yokais in heat.
Yeah, those started to happen a lot more now that the nature energy is almost 95% pure. The birth rate of yokais kind of skyrocketed due to that, with most of them finding themselves in heat a lot more than before.
'And it's all thanks to Harry and his little sage trees project,' she thought fondly.
She had found out about these trees when Harry asked her permission to plant some in her house so that Kunou could practice with more ease.
Yeah, and hadn't that been a shocker? She had examined said trees more times than she could count, and almost every time, the results came back negative. That meant if she hadn't already known about the trees, she'd never be able to differentiate between them and an ordinary old tree.
It still boggled her just how he achieved that. She had tried to ask him questions about it, but she quickly learned that Harry never answered something he doesn't want to. All he said was that he decided to create them so that he could have time to do something else…
She didn't pester him for answers or anything like that. Just because she was sleeping with him doesn't mean he has to tell her everything. She was just curious, plus she had better things to focus on.
Like how to convince him to put a baby in her…
Yeah, apparently she can't get pregnant with his baby unless he wants her to, and he really didn't want one. She didn't know why. Considering he already had one, but that doesn't mean she was going to give up…
Still, she had learned a great many things about him, like the fact that he was actually a cheat—and no, he didn't cheat on her with another woman—not like she'd mind that. At least that way she would have some help because keeping up with a young and hormonal teenager was hard…
No, what she meant was that Harry could learn, master, and outperform anyone in anything he set his mind on. She learned that the fun way back when she invited Harry to her bed…
She'd noticed that he was more interested in her than Koruka, so she gambled and won. And what a win that was. their first time was kinda o-kay? Like he just lost himself in pleasure and just started thrusting? Yeah, total virgin energy right there. She found it adorable, but after that first load. Yeah, things started to pick up from there…
It took him exactly 5 times to be able to keep up with her during sex, and that was just the beginning of the night…
'And he wonders why I want his child? Any kid from him will become a yokai god in no time…' she sighed and shook her head in exasperation…
She really should start thinking of ways to convince him to put a baby in her…

A/N: sorry for the delayed chapter. I had a seizure while I was out—the one time I decided to go outside alone since my unfortunate condition was diagnosed—anyway, because of said seizure I was involved in an accident and broke my leg thanks to it too 😐😑
