Here I stand in my world. The one with the multicolored sky and having land, the land that is whiter than snow. This land where I stand on is not just white but recently it had gained rings that are navy, all circling one inside the other. Of course I'm not the one in the centre, at the centre is something that is not part of this world but when I think about it this 'something' that did indeed help source my world.

At the centre, Necroussary Abyss? That's right, a sort of armory created by the devil, Nicolas Virgil Dante. He really did make a piece of art, a very unique art at that. Not long ago a very crucial battle had taken place and this devil gear had gotten damaged but now I see that it is looking as good as new. It completely recovered by using the demonic energy to repair itself. From the knowledge given to me, so as long as the core isn't removed or the host doesn't die, a gear will always recover.

Right now I, Second Sesa, stand here in my world. I am not standing here because it's the only thing to do but today I have received an unexpected guest. I am currently looking up, high up above my head my eyes meet my guest's glare. Having my hand raised in the air, I let my thoughts run and in the next instant a mask appears in dark light. I smile a wicked smile at my guest as I cover my face with the mask. That mask isn't an ordinary mask, it's my cursed gear, Mask of Deception.

"BOOST!!!"

A green flash shone on the six orbs on the mask and suddenly I can feel strength increasing. The power of the Dragon of Domination has been copied by Impersonate, I have gained the ability to imitate the one and only, Ddraig.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT? THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT A NORMAL SACRED GEAR CAN DO. I THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT BE 'INOVATE CLEAR', I AM WRONG. THIS SACRED GEAR MAY ONLY LOOK ORDINARY BUT IT COULD BE VERY WELL BE IN THE LEAGUE OF LONGINUS."

I look at the gigantic red lizard in the form of a western dragon that had spoke and am happy to note that I'm in the Longinus league. I don't immediately reply to the real Red Dragon Emperor as I'm still checking the abilities I can use by Impersonating Ddraig.....Yeah! Boost, Transfer, Penetrate, Soul Transferal.

"Soul Transferal?" I say that then turn to stare at the blue coffin. Certainly, now it looks perfect, before, the casket was still open when it was repairing itself. So that must've been when he transferred his soul here. If the box had been sealed then Ddraig would be locked in the dark world until further notice.

"That is the ability of this gear. As for it being on the level of Longinus, certainly, it will be achieved."

Ddraig: "HAHAHA! TO THINK THAT THE BIBLE GOD MADE SOMETHING THIS RIDICULOUS, HA!"

Hehe, to think that even the Heavenly dragon can't tell that this is not a sacred gear. The mask has concealed itself well.... I can feel that Sesa has woken up from his beauty rest, he isn't moving from the mattress. I guess he is just going to listen in, I better start taking control of the conversation then.

"Dragon of Domination, ey!? I got some questions for you, if you don't mind?" I ask as sincerely as my understanding of the word. There's no need to be affraid of Ddraig, since he has no authority in my world and the Boosted gear core is still stuck in the Abyss. There is nothing he can do instead I feel that even the Heavenly dragon has some inquiries of his own.

"HMM, VERY WELL. WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO KNOW?"

Says Ddraig staring back down at me. There isn't much for me to think about so I stare up at the dragon's face. "Tell me, Issei is meant to be the host of Boosted gear instead you are being hosted by someone else, why?"

Ddraig: YES... I SEE... TO HEAR IT FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE DOES CHANGE MY MODE THINKING. KID, I HAVE SEEN MANY BE HOST TO THE BOOSTED GEAR. SOME HAVEN'T EVEN KNOWN OF IT'S EXISTENCE EVEN, YET I REMEMBER NONE TO BE KNOWN AS ISSEI AND YET MY LAST HOST HAS HAD A DEEP GRUDGE AGAINST THAT BOY. YOUR WORDS ALSO FAVOR THIS ISSEI FOR WIELDING BOOSTED GEAR, THIS ONLY INDICATES TO ME THAT AN UNKNOWN FACTOR HAS A HAND IN PLAY.

"What? Even you don't know? By the way, you're quite loud"

Ddraig: .....To think that... Someone.. Dares.. MANIPULATE A HEAVENLY DRAGON EMPEROR!!!

Urgh! My hands go over my ears, I just indicated that he was loud already and now his getting louder. I want to smash his face in, however, I lack the courage since I don't want a Juggernaut Drive happening in my world. "HEY!! Calm down. Why don't you tell me about your last host, I really wanna know his story?"

Ddraig: ... YES, MY APOLOGIES. THERE WERE TOO MANY SCENARIOS GOING ON IN MY HEAD... MY LAST HOST... I DO NOT HAVE ANY HIGH OPINION OF HIM BUT IT IS TRUE THAT I'VE KNOWN HIM FROM HIS BIRTH.... HMM, I DON'T RECALL HAVING ANY MEMORY OF HIM UNTIL RECENTLY. MY INSTINCTS DO TELL ME THAT TIME HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH.

"WHAT!?"

Ddraig: MM.. TIME HAS BEEN REVERSED BUT NOT BY MUCH. THAT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD THING, EVERYTHING MIGHT TURN OUT DIFFERENTLY NOW THAT MY LAST HOST IS DEAD. I'M EVEN GLAD THAT HE'S DEAD.

I can't say that what I'm hearing is unbelievable. After all this world itself is unbelievable. Someone was able to manipulate time and not some portion in an area but the entire world's. Who can have such power?

"Ey, Ddraig. Is that all you can tell about the host?" I ask again.

Ddraig: NO, THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE SEALED INSIDE HIM. IF THAT ONE WAS NOT SEALED THEN YOUR OWN HOST WOULD BE THE ONE TO DIE. IF IT HAD BEEN ANYONE ELSE I WOULDN'T BOTHER SITTING ON THE SEAL, HAHA, SINCE IT HAD TO BE A DRAGON AND A DRAGON ON PARE WITH MYSELF AND THE WHITE ONE. WHY WOULDN'T I CAUSE TROUBLE FOR THE SEALED ONE?

What? What am I hearing, really? "There's another dragon emperor?" I had to ask. If that's the case, doesn't that mean I killed a dragon emperor. YEAH!

Ddraig: POSSIBLY. THE SEALED ONE WAS DEFINITELY A DRAGON AND A POWERFUL ONE AT THAT. HAD YOU NOT KILLED THE HOST, THAT ONE WOULD'VE BROKE FREE. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT SEALED ONE GAVE ME THE CHILLS, LITERALLY, HE BROUGHT THE COLD. KID! MY TURN TO ASK THE QUESTIONS. WHO ARE YOU, THIS GEAR AND THAT GEAR, AND ABOUT YOUR HOST?

"Sure, I'm Second Sesa. Since it looks like you'll be staying here for a while...."

Huh! I wanted to speak more about this new dragon emperor and stuff, unfortunately, I sense the alarm clock going off. This alarm clock was the merchandise that Sesa bought when he went to the mall with Issei. It is really some good merchandise.
