A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Achuka is a strikingly handsome man with a captivating, almost otherworldly charm. He is also a close friend of his brother, Sajax, and many of the "high-tech" advancements currently employed by the demon race are the work of this master tech enthusiast.

The "demon chess piece," capable of amplifying the power of demons in all aspects, is the toilet that this guy created.

However, Rias's ranking of the most handsome men has now been updated, with Li Wei now at the top, leaving all the other men she knows far behind.

In particular, Li Wei is not only handsome, but also incredibly strong, and has a very good temper. Despite having an absolute advantage in strength, he speaks to them without any arrogance, just like a gentle older brother next door.

Rias realized that she had actually developed feelings for Levi.

Looking at his daughter's awkward manner, Geotix, as someone who had been through it all, already knew that his daughter probably had feelings for Mr. Levi.

In this way, he wouldn't have to force his daughter to do things she didn't like. However, Li Wei's existence must be kept secret, as Li Wei himself had requested, and the Gremory family would certainly have to abide by it.

Rias turned her face away, not daring to look her father in the eye, and her voice grew softer and softer: "It's...not bad, I guess..."

Knowing that haste makes waste, Geotix didn't intend to confront Rias directly, instead saying, "You could try befriending that gentleman. He's quite generous; becoming his friend might bring you more benefits."

Chapter 1. Every family has its own troubles.

Geotix put the scroll away and said, "I won't open this scroll for now. We'll discuss it with my family after Sajax comes home from get off work."

Such a major matter is beyond Geoticus's personal ability to make a decision, and he also wants to hear Sajax's opinion. After all, as one of the four current Demon Lords of the Demon Realm, Sajax's views are very important to the family.

Sajax is both a member of the Gremory family and the Demon King of the Demon Realm. His very existence is the greatest deterrent to other noble families. How many of these thousand artifacts will ultimately remain in the hands of the Gremory family depends on whether Sajax can maintain order.

As long as the family can withstand the pressure, more divine artifacts can remain in the family, thus widening the gap in power between the family and other families. Even if they are not numerically superior, the Gremory family will still be a top-tier family in the Demon Realm.

At this moment, Rias was no longer focused on listening to her father. She was now pondering a question: what kind of feelings did she truly have for Levi?

Li Wei's strength and gentleness were undoubtedly very attractive to her, as she was a demon. Demons all admire the strong, and she was no exception. The powerful Li Wei undoubtedly aligned with the advantages of a demon's values.

Although the demon realm has laws, its core principle remains the same: violence solves all problems. Therefore, great power provides a sense of security to a partner. This is why female demons are attracted to powerful male demons, even those with less-than-ideal temperaments—because powerful male demons offer them a sense of security.

In human society, a woman's sense of security comes from money and status, while in the demon realm, a female demon's sense of security comes either from possessing great power herself or from having a powerful partner; there are no other options.

Geotix called out several times before Rias came to her senses. Seeing that Rias was finally listening to him, he said, "If you have the chance, invite him to your house. It's never a bad thing to make friends with a strong person like him."

Based on Rias's previous descriptions, Geoticus had a general understanding of Levi's personality. In his view, Levi had a good personality, but was also dangerous. Dealing with Levi required treating him like a foreign dignitary, showing the highest level of courtesy, and not neglecting any detail.

As a noble family and the head of the Gremory family, Geoticus has many things to consider. Moreover, for the sake of the family's interests, both he and his family members have to sacrifice their own interests when necessary.

Although this approach is not very friendly to family members, it is one of the ways that the small Gremory family has survived.

If the Gremory family members could double in number, no, even more than half, the position of a noble family in the Demon Realm would not be available to other families.

He had originally planned a marriage between Rias and the eldest son of the Felix family, but now it seems he has to find a way to cancel the engagement.

Although doing so would completely offend the Felix family, obtaining Levi's bloodline seed was far more important to the family. Moreover, by establishing a good relationship with Levi, he might even find an opportunity to completely eliminate the Felix family and crush this family that had always been at odds with him.

The Demon Realm is not as united as outsiders imagine. In fact, the internal conflicts among the noble families are very sharp. However, due to the threats from the Fallen Angels and the Heavenly Court, the Demon Realm must keep its guns pointed at external forces at critical moments.

In reality, every family has its own troubles, and the situation on the side of the fallen angels is actually quite similar. They are divided into factions and cliques. When there is an external enemy, they unite to beat it up. When there is no external enemy, they shut themselves in and fight each other with chairs.

In other words, the situation in Heaven is better; at least on the surface, it's all about unity. However, those who aren't truly united have already fallen into the ranks of fallen angels, leaving behind only righteous fanatics.

Although Geoticus is opposed to Heaven, he also has some respect for certain beings in Heaven. After all, without the righteous fanatics of Heaven helping to maintain order, the human world would have been in chaos long ago.

The fact that Heaven maintains order in the human world is also beneficial to the demons. After all, many demons also have their own businesses in the human world, and a good and stable social environment is essential for them to do things properly.

In contrast, the Demon Realm appears united on the surface. While they are not as ruthless as the Fallen Angels, who fight each other to the death, internal competition is still quite fierce.

The conflict between the Gremory and Felix families can be traced back over a thousand years, to the time of the previous patriarch. Over a thousand years of grudges and grievances have made them wish they could strangle each other whenever they meet.

The Gremory family is at a disadvantage due to their smaller numbers, and the Felix family members are known for their incredible resilience; even if they manage to kill their opponents, they can always rise from the ashes. On the Gremory side, every skilled member who dies is a lost cause, and cultivating replacements is no easy task.

The Felix family's advantage lies in their large numbers and their innate resurrection ability. As long as their soul core is not annihilated, they can resurrect indefinitely, which is a cheating ability similar to that of the lich.

However, the Felix family also has its weaknesses. Firstly, they lack offensive power, relying entirely on attrition warfare in close combat, often resulting in mutual destruction with the opponent, and sometimes even leading to their own demise. But their innate resurrection ability allows the Felix family to maintain a population advantage. With the main branch and its offspring, they can summon two or three hundred great demons in a single battle. Ordinary noble families would easily suffer against the shameless Felix family.

In other words, the Gremory family, as a top-tier noble family, is the type that can deal explosive damage and is not afraid of having a large number of opponents, which is why they dare to confront the other side head-on.

Originally, Geoticus planned to use Rias to marry the eldest son of the Felix family in order to resolve the conflict between the two families that had lasted for thousands of years. However, there was no need for that now. With over a thousand divine artifacts, as long as the majority of them did not fall into the hands of the Felix family, and at the same time, he could maintain good relations with Levi, perhaps in his generation, he could completely end the feud with the Felix family.

Chapter 1. World Line Shifts

Geotix felt it was a pity; times had changed, so it was no longer easy to wipe out the entire opposing team under some pretext, as it used to be.

Now, because the current Beelzebub has played the demon pieces, the struggle between the higher-ranking demons can only be resolved through a "ranking game".

The so-called ranking game is based on the rules of chess. The superior demon holds the king piece and then uses other pieces, including the queen, chariot, knight, monk, and soldier, to build his own team.

Ranking games can be one-on-one or multi-faction battles. Different rules and conditions can be set. Both sides fight under the premise of following the rules and conditions. The winning side can make a request to the losing side, and the losing side cannot refuse the request.

Moreover, ranking games are inherently very dangerous, with deaths being commonplace. But even so, this kind of bloody war game is still safer than large-scale, unregulated brawls.

Because of the previous series of foreign and civil wars, many noble families have already encountered problems with bloodline continuation and population issues, which are not unique to the Gremory family.

It was precisely to limit the intensity of internal fighting and avoid large-scale casualties that the "ranking game" came into being. All conflicts, all disputes of interest, and many other conflicts could be resolved using the ranking game. Even the ranking of noble families could be determined by the ranking game.

Geotix stroked his chin, already thinking about how to trick the Felix family. He planned to use the ranking game to thoroughly humiliate their opponents.

Currently, half of the noble families are facing a population crisis, and the fact that the Felix family is thriving under such circumstances has already made many people unhappy.

However, the Felix family was so large and powerful that even ordinary noble families did not want to be enemies with them. After all, not every noble family could be like the Gremory family, where every member had explosive offensive capabilities and could fight against a larger force with fewer members.

With a plan already in mind, Geotix smiled. Rias couldn't understand what her father was smiling about. She thought that Geotix might be thinking about her and Levi, but right now, she and Levi were still not even close to having any relationship.

“Father, I’ll be going now,” Rias said.

“Okay, you go and rest first. Remember to come to my office this afternoon after your brother returns,” Geotix said.

........................

On the human side, Li Wei was above the house of Hyoudou Makoto. Using an illusion technique, neither demons nor fallen angels could detect his presence.

At this moment, Hyoudou Makoto was at home.

It's holiday time now, and there's still some time before high school starts. Moreover, Makoto Hyoudou's branch school hasn't been announced yet, so he's been staying home reading manga these past two days. Of course, all the manga he's reading are banned; there aren't any normal ones.

Li Wei couldn't help but admire Hyoudou Makoto; he was truly a genius. His entire bookshelf was filled with all sorts of forbidden books. If any girl entered his bedroom, she would definitely be so frightened that she would immediately break off all ties with him.

Moreover, when he came last time, he saw that in Makoto Hyoudou's bedroom, there were some photo posters on the wall, featuring gravure idols wearing only bikinis, each one more dazzling than the last. This time, there were even more posters on the wall.

Hyoudou Makoto lay on the bed, holding up a banned comic book with both hands, and said, "Ah, how boring, I really want to rub a girl's headlights."

Upon hearing Hyoudou Makoto's words, Li Wei was speechless. Some things are okay to think about in your heart, but if you say them out loud, you'll be seen as a pervert.

However, considering Hyoudou Makoto's personality and the influence of his two troublesome friends, it's not surprising that he's become like this. It should be said that there are many strange and eccentric people in Japan, and compared to those oddballs, Hyoudou Makoto is actually doing alright now.

Sitting on the rooftop, Li Wei sighed inwardly. If Makoto Hyoudou hadn't possessed the divine artifact residing within him, he would never have had any interaction with the members of the Mysticism Research Club. Moreover, the story officially begins after Makoto Hyoudou has already been at Kuoh Academy for a year.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

In the original story, Rias spent a long time investigating the students at the academy to ensure that there were no strange beings within her sphere of influence. During this investigation, she discovered Hyoudou Makoto, a wild user of a divine artifact. At first, she thought that the divine artifact that Hyoudou Makoto possessed was an ordinary divine artifact. Who knew that Hyoudou Makoto would actually be the current host of the "Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet," a divine artifact.

If Makoto Hyoudou's artifact were just an ordinary artifact, Rias's attitude towards him would be good, but not to the point of "doting" as in the original story.

......

From Li Wei's perspective, when analyzing the plot, he realized that Hyoudou Makoto was actually being used to some extent. Hyoudou Makoto is not Guo Jing, and Rias is not Huang Rong. In the original story, Rias's feelings for Hyoudou Makoto were mixed with too many other things.

However, considering that Rias is a member of the Gremory family, and demon noble families are inherently cunning, it's not surprising that Rias treats Hyoudou Makoto this way. If Hyoudou Makoto had no abilities, and she could still treat him as she did in the original story, that would be true love.

Now that Makoto Hyoudou has lost his divine artifact, even if he is able to enter Kuoh Academy, he will no longer have any contact with the Mysticism Research Club. Moreover, because he no longer has the divine artifact, he will not be targeted and killed by the fallen angels. It can be said that the timeline has already undergone a huge change since Levi took the God Destroyer Gear from Makoto Hyoudou's body.

The current Makoto Hyoudou is just an ordinary boy with lustful thoughts but no courage, whose mind is filled with all sorts of nonsense.

If Li Wei hadn't intervened, he would have embarked on a completely new and very ordinary path in life. He would have gone to high school, taken the college entrance exam, or simply graduated and entered the workforce. But in either case, he would have no connection whatsoever with any of the three factions in the original storyline.

Chapter 1. Feel the Pain

That's the butterfly effect. Maybe you only make a small, inexplicable change at a certain point, and then the entire world situation will undergo huge changes. Not to mention, the fate of the "protagonist" will be directly changed. Although Hyoudou Makoto is only a minor character now, after the plot officially begins, he will rise to power as an "overpowered protagonist".

Although Makoto Hyoudou is not the biggest variable that has the greatest impact on the course of history in this world, he can still be considered a "historical figure". From this point on, the plot has already gone wild.

Of course, Li Wei doesn't intend to follow the so-called plot. Once his strength reaches a certain level, the plot and such become completely irrelevant.

Now that they don't have to worry about plot changes, they have much more freedom to act. Li Wei has already come up with a way to persecute Hyoudou Makoto. On the rooftop, Li Wei revealed a dark, philosophical smile.

"Hmm, I already know how to make Hyoudou Makoto feel pain." Li Wei couldn't suppress his smile. His method would definitely be unforgettable for Hyoudou Makoto for the rest of his life. All he had to do was use a little magic to confuse Hyoudou Makoto's external perception.

To put it bluntly, there is a certain discrepancy between what Makoto Hyoudou sees and hears and the reality.

Human beings are actually very easily deceived when it comes to their perception of the outside world. Even ordinary people who know hypnosis can use their knowledge to deceive their fellow human beings without using magic.

For Li Wei, deceiving Hyoudou Makoto's perception of the outside world was a very simple matter.

Makoto Hyoudou, who was reading a manga, suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass. He put down the forbidden manga and looked towards the window. He didn't know when, but the window in his bedroom had been broken.

"Damn it, which bastard is so despicable?! He actually smashed someone else's window. If I catch him, I'll kick his balls to pieces!" Hyoudou Makoto immediately got angry, threw the comic book on the bed, quickly put on his slippers, and ran downstairs.

Muttering curses under his breath, Hyoudou Makoto also took his metal baseball bat with him when he left. He had already decided that if the other party was doing it on purpose, he would swing the bat and beat them up first.

When Hyoudou Makoto stormed to the side of the house, the person who had thrown things and smashed the window had already disappeared. However, right there, a wallet lay on the ground, quite conspicuous.

Hyoudou Makoto, carrying a metal baseball bat, squatted down, picked up the wallet from the ground, opened it, and found nothing inside that could prove the wallet's owner's identity; the wallet contained only a thick wad of neon coins.

Hyoudou Makoto looked around and muttered, "That guy has already run away. In that case, this is my spoils. He broke my window, so it's only fair that he pays for it."

Hyoudou Makoto is currently at home alone. His father is away on a business trip, and his mother is visiting relatives these days. In other words, he can decide how to use the money himself.

He hurriedly ran home and rushed upstairs. Hyoudou Makoto took all the banknotes out of his wallet and placed them on his desk. The thick stack of banknotes, all in ten thousand yen denominations, was an unimaginable sum for an ordinary student.

With trembling hands, Hyoudou Makoto counted the money. He quickly counted out the huge sum, which made him gasp. There were tens of thousands of yen in it. Even in Tokyo, the annual income of an average person is only about 40,000 to 50,000 yen. This was equivalent to half a year's income for someone else.

The unexpected windfall made Hyoudou Makoto a little too pleased with himself.

"Great! I can spend this money however I want!" At this moment, Hyoudou Makoto had completely forgotten about the mysterious person who smashed his window, and he didn't care whether there was anything wrong with this huge sum of money from an unknown source.
