One-Punch DxD: NEO Sneak-peeks


Guess who's back~ Here's a special sneak peek for my new project. Enjoy...


Sneak Peek Chapter 1

When Rias arrived at Issei's location, she was met with the sight that was completely out of her expectation. The first thing she saw was her client; a young man with spiky brown hair wearing a set of casual clothes - sneakers, jeans, and a jacket over a polo shirt. She then looked around to find that she was at the public park of the town. There was no fallen angel in sight, only Issei and her.

"Um... Gremory-senpai?"

Rias then returned her attention to the boy who just addressed her. "Ah, right. Issei Hyoudou, correct?"

When the man nodded, Rias herself suddenly found herself out of her depth upon realizing the situation before her was… far simpler than she thought, defying her expectations and previous knowledge. In any case, she just needed to improvise as she would learn what had transpired, "Yes, I'm the devil you summoned, Rias Gremory at your service. Please, state your wish before me, summoner."

Issei blinked for a couple of times before replying, "Oh, it's… nothing too big. I honestly didn't expect I would end up summoning you. Is… Is it really okay if I ask help from you?"

Rias smiled - things were unexpected, but still seemed salvageable. "Of course, we devils respond to human desires - granting their wishes in exchange for an appropriate reparation. So what can I help you with?"

Issei scratched his cheek awkwardly, "Well…. The thing is… I lost my wallet."

Rias blinked once, then twice, before responding, "...I beg your pardon?"

"Yeah, it's silly, I know." Issei rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I was out on a date with this one girl… Kind of, then one thing after another later, when I got home, I realized my wallet is not with me anymore. So I've been spending the past one hour tracing back my way around."

Rias then blinked thrice before she quickly regained her wits. "Err… Okay, okay. So you were out on a date with this girl, and…. May I ask how it went?"

"Well…." Issei looked away for a second before replying, "It's okay, I guess? Things didn't work out in the end, though."

Rias stared at Issei before asking again, "Didn't work out….Right, so did the girl do anything to you?"

Issei seemed to contemplate his answer for a second with pursed lips. "...Nope, nothing really happened to me."

That's it? - Rias narrowed her eyes ever so slightly as she picked the signs of the young man hiding something from her. "Did she say anything, or ask anything about you… seeing her again or something?"

"No, no. Things didn't work out between us. I don't think I'll see her again, at least not for anytime soon." Issei replied a tad too quickly.

Rias nodded; for the time being, she could only accept the answer as it was. "Okay… So right now you can't find your... wallet?"

Issei blinked once as if he just remembered his current predicament. "...Yeah, yeah. So can you help? I mean, if this request comes off as a pain to you, I understand. I'll just pay you for the trouble and figure something out myself later."

"Oh, no, no. Please, don't misunderstand. It's not that I mind." Rias waved her hands placatingly. "Your request was kind of unexpected, but not that uncommon. Don't worry about that."

In truth, the request was actually uncommon, especially for high-class devils. Devils from different classes had different job requests. For Rias, a high-class devil, the number of requests directed at her were little compared to her servants, but most of her jobs involved purging curses or evil entities that bothered her clients. Issei's request technically did not suit her status by a text-book standard, but considering that Rias had already answered the summoning herself, she had to see it through.

Besides, she actually found this kind of job to be a refreshing change of pace - Rias Gremory, helping a human looking for a lost wallet? The idea made her giggle inwardly; for better or worse, it was close to a once in a life-time experience.

"If you don't mind, then. I will be counting on you." Issei bowed politely.

"That's fine by me." Rias smiled again. "So first of all, can you tell me when was the last time you saw your wallet with you?"


So basically, NEO story is a re-imagining of Legacy and Fist Marks; similar premise, but with different twist and turns. ;) The patron wall for chapter 1 will be lifted once I post chapter 2, which is already in the making. The same goes for the next chapter and afterwards.
