DXD: The Awakening Of Phenex

"I reincarnated as a villain? Seriously? And why did it have to be as the cannon fodder for some perverted protagonist? Not even in my worst nightmares did I imagine such a peculiar reincarnation. I hope there's at least some purpose to this, other than being the target of fate's jokes."

"What the hell is happening?" Riser Phenex muttered as a strange buzzing echoed in his mind. Suddenly, a vivid blue screen unfolded before his mental eyes, displaying statistics reminiscent of a novel.

**[Villain System]**

- **Name:** Riser Phenex

- **Strength:** 10

- **Speed:** 8

- **Magic:** 15

- **Luck Points:** 0

Ability: Immortality, Fire.

*Lucky Lottery:*

- **Copper (100 luck points)**

- **Silver (200 luck points)**

- **Gold (300 luck points)**

"Is this some kind of RPG system? Lucky lottery? It seems like my reincarnation came with a strangely interactive manual." Riser scratched his head, pondering the options before him.

Intrigued by the Lucky Lottery, Riser, determined to unravel more about the system, decides to inquire directly: "How can I earn more luck points?" Riser asks, staring at the blue screen before his mental eyes. A robotic voice resonates, responding with precision: "Simple, Riser Phenex. To gain luck points, you must change the storyline in this world, steal opportunities from the protagonist, conquer heroines, kill supporting characters – all contributing to accumulating points that can be exchanged in the Lucky Lottery."

Riser, intrigued by the idea of manipulating fate, gazes at the Villain System's blue screen with a calculating expression.

"Can I just eliminate Issei and be done with all this?" Riser asks.

The robotic voice responds without hesitation: "Not advisable, Riser Phenex. Issei is the protagonist of this story and possesses extraordinary luck. Eliminating him could result in unpredictable consequences. I would suggest seeking other ways to accumulate luck points."

Aware of the limitations imposed by the system, Riser considers the words with a thoughtful expression. His desire to challenge narrative conventions clashes with the need to play by the rules, leaving him with an intriguing dilemma on how to manipulate the course of this peculiar story.

"How much time until the start of the Canon?" Riser Phenex inquires, scanning the blue screen for an answer.

The robotic voice responds with calculated precision: "Exactly 1 month, Riser Phenex. Use this time wisely to accumulate luck points and influence the narrative significantly." The metallic tone of the response echoes in Riser's mind, creating a sense of urgency.

Riser questions the System: "Is there any beginner's gift package available for me?"

The robotic voice promptly responds: "Yes, Riser Phenex. Just ask to open it."

Curious and eager to discover the content of this peculiar gift, Riser decides not to hesitate and asks the system to open the beginner's gift package.

1. **Chess Mastery Skill:**

Riser analyzes the newly acquired skill, realizing its strategic potential. He envisions the possibility of defeating Sona.

2. **Silver Summoning Card:** (Any summoned character is completely loyal to Riser)

Riser examines the card, contemplating the possibilities of summoning characters who can become allies. He ponders the strategic timing to use this card and how it could impact the plot he's immersed in.

3. **Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix (without weaknesses):**

Riser observes the devil fruit in his hands, understanding the immense advantage it can offer. Immortality already present in his stats combined with the ability to be reborn as a phoenix without typical weaknesses becomes a valuable asset in his life.

2. **Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix (without weaknesses):**

- Grants immortality and the ability to be reborn as a phoenix without typical weaknesses.

Taking the Devil Fruit from his inventory and giving it a bite, a sensation of warmth spreads through Riser. A peculiarly bitter taste settles in his mouth, accompanied by a flood of information flowing directly into his mind.

The robotic voice of the Villain System resonates once again, this time providing specific guidance on using the newly acquired powers of the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix.

"Riser Phenex, as the bearer of this Devil Fruit, you now have the ability to transform into a phoenix. Upon activating this ability, rapid regeneration and immunity to various forms of damage will be granted. Be aware that the regeneration time and intensity of the ability can be enhanced with the increase of your power."

Reflecting on his initial strength compared to Issei, Riser recognizes that his main focus should be to diminish the extraordinary luck of the protagonist. With immortality and the new regeneration ability of the Tori Tori no Mi, he feels confident in his strength but is aware of the need to level the playing field.

Deciding to act strategically, Riser outlines a plan to undermine Issei's luck. He plans to subtly interfere in crucial moments, seeking opportunities to divert the protagonist's fortune.

Riser contemplates the summoning card in his hands, but a twinge of concern hits him when he remembers that his Peerage is complete. He decides that before using the card, he needs to plan to get rid of his current Peerage, change the plot, and decrease the protagonist's luck.

With determination, Riser summons his sister Ravel for a conversation in his room. He looks her in the eyes and declares, "It's time for you to stop being my bishop and form your own Peerage."

Ravel, surprised by the proposal, hesitates. "I'm not ready to lead my own Peerage, Riser."

Knowing he needs to convince her, Riser replies, "Except for Yubelluna, you can have my entire Peerage. Just find a queen and a bishop to complete it."

Intrigued by the offer, Ravel begins to consider the possibility of taking on a more independent role. She looks at Riser, contemplating the opportunities and challenges that this change would bring to her life.

Time Skip

2 days later. 28 days until the Canon begins.

Riser, sitting in the hotel room in the Human World with Yubelluna, sighs and reflects on his recent actions. "Two intense days, transferring my Peerage to Ravel. System, how many luck points did I earn with that?"

The robotic voice responds precisely: "You gained 100 luck points for changing the plot and an additional 150 luck points for disrupting Issei's opportunity to get a bishop since Ravel was the original choice."

Satisfied with the accumulated points, Riser begins to envision the strategic possibilities that these luck points offer. He cont

emplates how to use these resources to continue manipulating destiny and weaken Issei's unstoppable luck.

Determined to proceed with his plan, Riser looks at the Lucky Lottery and thinks about how to invest his points to gain even greater advantages.
