The Burning Orphanage (A Plot Bunny Breeding Ground)

[Burn3dRe@der]

After indulging myself in the contents of A Brand New World I started recalling some ideas I had for stories, but the thing is I'm not someone who writes stories, so I had the idea to make a thread where I could dump off my insane, nonsensical, fever dreams that someone with better writing skills and creativity could polish into actual solid stories. I'm just gonna say this now, I don't intend to be updating this often because I do have College to deal with first and foremost, the frequency of my writings popping up here might change during summertime but I can't guarantee it. If anyone who sees my writings wants to try and make a feasible story out of it, feel free to do so. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect multiple threadmarks or whatever to pop up anytime soon. And I cannot verify the consistency of word length for each plot bunnies I pump out so bear with me on this.

So I Died.

Yeah, certainly one way to start a conversation I know, but I already have enough time to process (I. E. experience the five stages in grief for however long I've been in this blank void) I've eventually gotten over it. My name isn't irrelevant at the moment, but what is relevant is this guy with wings wearing a suit who came from a door that appeared out of nowhere, this dude was sharp-dressed and looked clean-shaven, a model of professionalism this one. This guy, who goes by the name of Ray, is an angel sent in from Heaven to make me an offer for a second chance, my death came way quicker than it should've been and when the higher-ups realized that I got screwed over, they sent him in as a representative for an offer. I've been given a chance for a second chance at life, but in a different world, it's not like I had much to lose so I agreed but right when I was about to be put into this weird machine to begin my transfer into a new life when suddenly it started sparking and shaking and all that, next thing I knew I was getting turned into a lightning rod before everything went dark.

When I woke up I found myself in some alley, okay so far so good, right? Not exactly, there was a puddle of water nearby, I walk over to it so I can see what I look like and can someone explain to me WHY I'M A HEARTLESS NOW?!

Spoiler: New life, new form

If I see Ray again I'm kicking his ass for botching this, I didn't agree to become Iseakaid to get turned into this after nearly getting my soul reduced to atoms, as impossible as it may sound! Okay, Okay, calm down you can work with this, even though I'm smaller than a regular Darkside and I could tell I'm different from the usual heartless given I don't have an insatiable hunger for hearts, maybe I'm something different despite my current appearance? (God I hope so) hopefully, I'm somewhere where spooky monsters are commonplace right? Well I mean there are weird creatures hanging around people who don't seem to notice them, nobody even noticed me being in proximity, I can work with this; just need to figure out what I'm gonna do now. Why do these creatures look familiar though, and why did I end up reborn in Japan?

So I have good news and bad news, the good news is I figured out that it's 2005 on this version of Earth, and I'm in Kabukicho surprisingly enough (Thought that big sign looked familiar). The bad news is I recognize what this world is, of all places to reincarnate into it had to be Jujutsu Kaisen? and as a Curse Spirit as well (Albeit one with concerning similarities to a certain boss from my favorite video game series). Even if The Honored One, AKA Satoru Gojo, hasn't reached the true potential of his power (pretty sure the events of Hidden Inventory taking place in 2006 meaning I have less than a year before things play out) I am pretty sure he could destroy me away with no problem, and the less said about Suguru Geto the better. Okay right now I need to figure out what I can do as a Curse and what my technique is, maybe my technique is like what a Darkside could do?

Nighttime in Kabukicho

Well, I was partially right, some of the things a Darkside could do I can do as well, I can't summon Shadow Heartless (Probably for the best), but it seems I can shape the darkness and shadows around me into constructs, could come in handy. As for the name of my innate technique, I figured Dark Matter would be fitting for it. Anyway, I got some practice in by killing some of the curse spirits in the district, need some experience in fighting if I want a chance of you know... continuing my existence. Let me tell ya, some of these curse spirits are just bizarre, I think the biggest challenge I've had so far was this freaky female porcelain doll-like curse that kept going on about love hotels and host clubs, I knew this was a red-light district but I guess enough cursed energy was built up to make it because I remember it putting me through a few walls before I was able to bring it down. By that point, I realized that sorcerers would be on their way to see what was going on so I decided to bail, but not before snagging a few souvenirs for the road, not like anyone caught in the crossfire will be needing them right?

Not sure where exactly I should go now, maybe I should find the location of the school that Amanai girl goes to? She is going to be a catalyst for a lot of events in the future so I should figure out if I want to try and keep her alive or not.

So to recap, I've been reincarnated (How and why I do not know) into Highschool DxD with only my name, the clothes on me with whatever was in my pockets, and this Jar attached to me which I am convinced is a sacred gear given how every time I open it, clouds come out of it which I can somehow control, sometimes the lid opens on its own, so I've been calling it Cloud Runner in my head ever since. As for how I know I'm in DxD, albeit in a version of good ol' USA, not even a whole week in and I've been harassed by monsters, stray devils, and stray exorcists who wouldn't leave me alone. I had to get creative to either escape or cripple these jerks which had me figure out how Cloud Runner works, leading to me getting creative in some of the clouds I make, my favorite trick? Creating platforms out of clouds in the air, such as the bouncing cloud, is also a good idea.

Anyway, I've been either running or fighting for my life, the worst I've gotten out of this was a dislocated shoulder (which I had to reset myself), some scratches, and bruising on my back from the few times I was tossed around, oh and nearly losing my fingers. It was around this point that I discovered that the jar responds to my Id (y'know the primitive and instictual part of a person's mind?) for some reason meaning the clouds I make can be controlled instinctively, certainly explains how certain constructs are made before I even thought about making them, and did those clouds hands from earlier come from my head? Moving on, I was just content to make something of my life, maybe get my degree in Anthropology again, when these government dudes showed up, knocked me out, and took me to some base out in the southwest (And no it is not Area 51, as amusing as it would be), where I met other people who had sacred gears in the country like me and these bigwigs showed up and started going on about how we have been brought together for a program, to create UN sponsored operatives or something to oppose the devils, fallen angels, and any other faction that threatens humanity, I didn't exactly get all of it but I my interest was piqued at the mention of the Devil Faction, I had no intention of getting hoed by devils because y'know, devils, and I can imagine how many people got screwed over by the supernatural so I'll give this supersoldier thing a shot, after all...

Not like I have much to lose in this world compared to my old life.

Day 1, Afternoon

So the last thing I remembered was going to bed after a long day at school, right? I eat dinner, head to the bathroom, and get ready for bed. The moment my head touched the pillow I was knocked out on the bed. The next thing I knew I woke up on a random island out in the ocean, that already sounded weird enough but then I heard a snapping sound and all of a sudden my left arm got replaced by a blue mechanical one, What The Hell?!

Ok, Ok. Relax Oswald, it somehow doesn't feel wield to have this new arm, I don't know if I should be concerned or not. I saw some buildings further inland, maybe the locals could help me out? It's worth a shot if anything, I just hope this doesn't backfire on me hard.

I think I heard that snapping sound again as I walked inland.

Day 1, Evening

First, I get a robot arm, and then a pair of frying pans attached to a string pops up in the air, falling down on my head, ow. There is definitely something weird going on, and it has something to do with the snapping sound. "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action." I think there's some higher power screwing with me right now. The upside is I reached civilization, a town called "Lychee Town" I went in, asked some of the locals about where I am and wouldn't you know it, I'm in the goddamn East Blue from One Piece, I thought they were messing with me until I see a Navy Warship in the nearby port, complete with Marines. Now, the last time I've read or watched One Piece was just after the timeskip, and as far as I can tell based on the gossip, I'm at a point in time where Gold Roger was still around, presumably in the New World. You know what, I'll take up bounty hunting, not really interested in being a Pirate or Marine anyway, plus I get to do some good in the world and get paid for it. Now I just need to find a ship, and compass, and go from there.

How Hard could it be with a metal prosthetic and Panchaku?

Spoiler: Summons

Feedbacker+Parry (1-24): Your left arm is replaced with a blue mechanical one, modeled after your original one. This arm has the ability to deflect, or "parry", attacks and projectiles when you punch with it. Parryable attacks are indicated by a yellow flash; attacks that can't be parried display a blue flash. With the power of a 24 roll, the damage output and attack speed from the Feedbacker increased, and parried projectiles will do double the damage with the added ability to see the flashes that indicate a parryable attack.
Panchaku (2-15): A pair of Vorpans attached by a string like a nunchaku. In the middle of the combo, it can deflect bombs and projectiles. The hitbox of the 9th attack also extends behind the player, which can also deflect bombs. With a roll of 15, the Panchaku is slightly buffed with increased damage and critical output.
