Hello, i'm searching for a highschool dxd story that has a self insert and a pseudo time traveling rias.
Here's more details on what i remember.
First off, it was here on QQ.
Second off, the story starts in an AU where the devil cast (and was shown/inted at that all the supernatural races are the same) has a much colder attitude compared to canon.
The self insert is reborn as the son of zeoticus with a concubine/harem member, showing from his perspective in the first 2 chapters the difference between canon and the AU he found himself in.
Rias is a time traveler from the EXE war that was sent to the past with the help of Valerie's Sephiroth Graal, of which one of the three was gifted to rias to help her.
Problem is that something went wrong and instead of fusing with her younger self from her own timeline, she fused with the version from the SI's one.
I think that, when her POV is shown, rias was having a mental breakdown with heavy crying when she arrived. But i think it was related to her life, not the fact this wasn't the correct destination.
At some point during her crying the SI (which was around 5 years old if i remember right) enter her room and hugs her and does what he can to cheer her up even though he dosen't know why she's crying. Because of this, she ends up developing bro-con tendencies similar, if more tame, to canon sirzechs, as well as some forbidden feelings of the incest kind.
At some point during their teenage years, rias tells the SI her past and even brings out her graal as proof. After the shock went away, he decides to help her go back to her world and they begin to plot toghether how to do so when they got to the human world.
During their stay there, they found out that Shuri, Akeno's mother, was alive but was being attacked by her own clan members of which they killed/fended off, thus saving her.
I also remember that not only was AU!Sirzechs married to someone that was not Grayfia, but he pretty much manipulated the latter into thinking he was in love with her during the entire civil war, which he then coldly told her off when the war was over and married another devil. This obviously hurt her in such a way that she became emotionally cold and distant with pretty much everyone.
At some point the SI learns about this by getting Grayfia drunk and then told Rias about it, which slowed down their research on timeline hopping and started planning to make Sirzechs pay, and Grayfia swore to become the SI's servant/slave if they succeed.
If i remember right, they managed to remove the queen piece from grayfia and used it so set up a trap for Sirzechs and slowly made him insane and paranoid by using illusions and mind magic to: 1) make him kill his wife in front of a crowd. 2) made him believe everyone, his peerage and family included, was out to get him.
When they were satisfied he became a shadow of his former self, the SI and Rias finished their research and they, along with Grayfia and Shuri, opened a portal to Rias' original world and went through while leaving behind some kind of bomb that thoroughly destroyed the magic circle they used to make the portal and any research they left behind. Once on the other side, they decide to become teachers at kuoh academy as a cover to make themselves new identities.
I also remember that they got busted at some point, but Rias told Ajuka some kind of personal code he made for everyone of his friends that declares them a time traveler.
That's as far as i remember, i hope someone can help me find it.
