Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Awakening of the Gamer



The first five years of Ahmed Gremory's new life were peaceful but strange. Growing up as the twin brother of Rias Gremory was both a blessing and a challenge. Their parents doted on them equally, and Sirzechs, their elder brother, treated him with the same warmth and care as Rias. But something deep within Ahmed always felt... off.

It wasn't until his fifth birthday that everything changed.

---

The Gremory estate was bustling with activity. Servants hurried about, decorating the halls with crimson banners and ornate floral arrangements. The occasion? A grand celebration for the twin heirs of the Gremory Clan.

Ahmed, however, wasn't in the mood for festivities. He had slipped away from the main hall and found himself in the family's private garden, staring at the vibrant red roses that bloomed there.

> "Ahmed!"

He turned to see Rias running toward him, her fiery red hair bouncing with each step. She stopped beside him, pouting.

> "Why are you out here? Everyone's waiting for you inside."

Ahmed shrugged, a faint smile playing on his lips.

> "Just needed some air. You go ahead. I'll join you soon."

Rias hesitated but eventually nodded.

> "Don't take too long, okay?"

As she left, Ahmed returned his gaze to the roses. That's when it happened.

---

A sharp pain shot through his head, forcing him to his knees. Images flooded his mind—fragments of his past life, his meeting with the ROB, and the wishes he had made. His chest tightened as the memories pieced themselves together.

> "The Gamer System… the Destruction Power… the DxD world..."

Before he could process it all, a familiar voice echoed in his mind:

> [System Alert!]

Welcome, Ahmed Gremory. The Gamer System has been activated.

Ahmed's eyes widened as a transparent blue screen appeared before him, filled with text and numbers:

He blinked, struggling to comprehend what he was seeing.

> "It's real. The system... it's real."

The screen shifted, presenting him with another notification:

> [Quest Alert!]

Ahmed's lips curved into a grin.

The First Test

Ahmed wasted no time. He moved to a secluded area of the garden and focused on the system.

> "Status."

The blue screen reappeared, showing his stats again. He studied each number carefully, noting his relatively high charisma and intelligence stats. But he also realized something important—he was weak.

> "Level 1... I have a long way to go."

The quest notification popped up again, urging him to take action. Ahmed closed his eyes, concentrating on the latent power within him. He felt a spark, a tiny ember of energy, deep in his chest.

> "Let's start with the basics."

He raised his hand, focusing on creating a small orb of destruction. At first, nothing happened. He gritted his teeth, sweat forming on his brow as he pushed harder. Finally, a tiny crimson orb appeared, swirling with unstable energy.

> [Skill Unlocked: Minor Destruction Orb]

Ahmed couldn't help but laugh, the sound echoing through the empty garden.

> "This is just the beginning."

---

Rias's Discovery

Unbeknownst to Ahmed, Rias had returned to the garden, curious about why her brother was taking so long. She stopped in her tracks when she saw him standing in the clearing, a faint glow of red energy in his hand.

> "Ahmed? What are you doing?"

Startled, Ahmed quickly dispersed the orb and turned to face her.

> "Nothing! Just… practicing."

Rias crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow.

> "Practicing what? Father doesn't teach us magic until we're older."

Ahmed hesitated. He couldn't tell her about the system—not yet.

> "Just something I figured out on my own. Don't tell anyone, okay?"

Rias stared at him for a moment before smiling.

> "Fine. But only if you teach me how to do it!"

Ahmed chuckled, ruffling her hair.

> "Maybe someday, little sister."

> "I'm only younger by five minutes!" Rias retorted, pouting.

The two of them laughed, the moment lightening the weight on Ahmed's shoulders.

The Journey Begins

That night, as Ahmed lay in bed, he opened the system menu again.

> "Skills."

A new screen appeared, showing his unlocked abilities:

---

[Skills]

1. Minor Destruction Orb: A basic offensive skill using the power of destruction.

---

Ahmed stared at the list, determination burning in his eyes.

> "This world is dangerous, but I'll grow stronger. I'll protect Rias, my family, and everything I care about. No one will stop me."
