As you open your eyes, you realize that you are not where you fell asleep.
"Where am I?"
Confused and disoriented, you try to recall what happened before you woke up.
//"Did I sleepwalk again? No, this feels different.
Maybe I had a dream, but it seemed so vivid."//
[[Look Around]]
[[Continue Sleeping]]<img src="https://www.housedigest.com/img/gallery/30-princess-bedrooms-that-are-fit-for-royalty/intro-1653300136.jpg"

You glance around the room, taking in your surroundings.
"This room looks very cool though, not gonna lie."
You stand up from the bed, determined to find any clues that might reveal where you are.
//"Alright, focus. Let's see if there's anything here that can give me a clue."//
You inspect the walls, looking for any distinctive marks or signs.
Nothing unusual here.
Your gaze shifts to the furniture, hoping to find something that stands out.

[[Door 1]]

You lie down, attempting to go to sleep, but it seems like you can't get any more sleep.
Why can't I sleep? Is it the strange surroundings or something else bothering me?
You toss and turn, trying to find a comfortable position.
Come on, just relax and clear your mind. Maybe then sleep will come.
However, despite your efforts, sleep continues to elude you, and you find yourself wide awake.
[[Wake up|Look Around]][[Open Your Eyes|On bed]]
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/"></a>You walk towards a door.
<img src="https://interwood.pk/media/catalog/product/f/o/forma.jpg"
width="380">
You put your hands on the handle and slowly open the drawer. To your surprise, inside, you find a luxurious bathroom.
"I could've never imagined having a place like this."
You take a moment to marvel at the opulence of the bathroom, but your curiosity quickly returns.
"Where even am I?"
Your eyes land on a beautiful washbasin.
This is no ordinary room. The lavishness suggests that I must be in some sort of high-end establishment or mansion.
You step closer to the washbasin, examining it closely.
//#image of a sink//
You gaze at the reflection in the mirror.
Wait, what?
//"This... This isn't my body."//
//"This can't be right. I look completely different."//
//"No, this is..."//
//"But how is this even possible?"//
Your mind races with confusion and disbelief as you try to come to terms with the unfamiliar reflection staring back at you.
Is this some sort of dream or a strange illusion? Or did something more extraordinary happen?

"No way!"
//"The douche bag from Highschool DXD."
Riser Phenex? How can this be? Is this some kind of bizarre joke or a dream?//
"Riser, Oni-sama, are you awake yet?" a voice shouted from outside.
//"Oni-sama? . Is she referring to Riser as 'Oni-sama'? This is all so confusing."//
You hurriedly run outside the bathroom towards the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of the person calling you.
Who could it be?
As you reach the door, you notice another mirror on the wall, and you can't help but glance into it again.
//"This... this is really me, isn't it? But how did I become Riser Phenex from Highschool DXD? This is insane!"//
[[Think of what to do]]
[[Reply "Yes, I'm awake"|"Yes, I'm awake"]]You walk towards a door and open it.
You put your hands on the handle and open it.

You see a beautiful hallway stretching out in front of you.
//"Oh, this is a hallway, I see."//
Looking towards both sides, you find that there's no one there.
//"It's better if I don't mess stuff up here."
"I'll return back in and wait for someone."//
[[Go to the other door|Door 1]]
"Thinking back to it, wasn't I..."
A sudden bolt of headache comes to you.

"Memories"
"These are my memories."
"NO"
"It's Riser's memories."
All the memories from birth upto this point suddenly comes to you in just a moment.
The door suddenly opens, to show a blonde haired Phenex standing there.
"Oni-sama, Are you awake?"

She gives you a surprised look, as if not understanding what is happening.
A sudden realization hits you,
*"Oh, shit. Riser didn't talk like this, did he?"*
*"What do I do now?"*
Before you could say anything, she interrupts you.
"Oni-sama, today everyone will be having food together at 9 o'clock. We'll wait for you there," she said as she left the room.
*"I hope this sudden change of attitude won't cause any problems."*

Despite the confusion, you feel a sense of determination to uncover the truth behind this mysterious situation. You continue walking, following the faint sense of familiarity guiding you to the dining hall.

//"I guess even in this strange situation, some things remain consistent."//
The breakfast continues with a light and enjoyable atmosphere, filled with casual conversations and laughter. You find yourself slowly getting more comfortable with the people around you, despite the surreal circumstances.
Once breakfast is finished, people begin leaving the dining hall.
"Riser, I'll see you later," your father says as he bids you a farewell.
"Take care, Oni-sama," your younger sister adds as she departs.
You nod in response, trying to process the situation and figure out your next move.
//"Training seems like the best thing to do right now. It's something I'm familiar with, and it might help clear my head."//
After bidding farewell to everyone, you decide to head to the training area.
[[Go to training area.|Training1.1]]"I haven't decided yet," you reply.
This leaves everyone in your family surprised, as it was unexpected coming from the usually self-confident and decisive Riser.

It takes about a minute for everyone to regain their composure, only for your father to ask if you'd like to study in the library today.
//"Studying in the library with my father... That sounds familiar, but in a completely different context."//
You try to recall any memories you have of studying in a library with your father in the Highschool DXD world, but none seem to match.
"Sure, Father. That sounds like a good idea," you respond, trying to balance being true to yourself and maintaining the facade.
The breakfast ends with everyone eating their fill and leaving the dining hall.
//"Well, at least that part went smoothly. Now, I need to find a moment to explore further or find a place to gather my thoughts."//
You watch as the other family members disperse, engaging in various activities around the mansion.
//"Where should I start? The library with Father might offer some insights, but I should also try to discreetly investigate more about this world and how I got here."//
[[Go to library|library]]
[[Tell Ravel the truth..]]coming soon"I have to be honest with you all," you admit, the weight of the situation pressing down on you. "I am not Riser Phenex, and I have no idea how I ended up in this world."
Silence falls over the room, and everyone's expressions shift to concern and suspicion.

"I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth," you continue, trying to make them understand. "I woke up here, and everything seems so familiar yet foreign at the same time. I don't belong in this world."
Your father looks at you, his expression a mix of emotions.
"Perhaps you're just tired, Riser," he says gently. "Why don't you take some rest and let everything settle down? We can discuss this further later."
//"They don't believe me. Who would? It sounds insane, even to me."//
You understand that your story is hard to believe.
"Okay, maybe you're right. I might be tired," you say, trying not to reveal your frustration. "I'll rest for a bit."
[[Go back to your room]]You make your way towards the library and open the door, finding your father sitting there. He smiles and waves you hello.
"Ah, Riser, there you are. Come, sit down," he says warmly, patting the seat next to him.
//"Alright, this is a chance to learn more about the world and maybe find some clues."//
You take a seat and try to maintain a composed expression, ready to engage in whatever discussion your father initiates.
"Today, I thought I'd teach you some demonic energy formulas. They are essential for our family's success in various endeavors," he explains.

//"Demonic energy formulas? This is definitely not something I learned back in my world."//
You listen attentively as your father begins explaining the complex concepts and techniques of demonic energy manipulation. However, the terminology and intricacies are foreign to you, making it challenging to comprehend.

"That's good to hear," your father responds, pleased with your response.
//"I hope he buys it. I really need to find a way to learn all this properly."//
He continues, "Now, let me ask you a question to test your understanding. How would you apply demonic energy to enhance the power of a summoning spell and apply our Phenex powers to mould the summon?"
//"Oh no, I have no idea!"//
You try to recall any relevant information from your memories as Riser, but nothing concrete comes to mind.
"Well, you see, Father..." you stammer, trying to come up with a plausible answer.
//"Think, think! How would Riser handle this?"//
Your father waits patiently for your response, and you can feel the pressure mounting.
[["I'm sorry Father, I couldn't understand."]]
[[Tell him the truth.(You are not Riser)|Truth Father]]"I'm sorry, Father, but I couldn't understand anything," you confess honestly, feeling a mix of guilt and frustration.
Your father looks disappointed but concerned at the same time.
<img src="https://s1.aminoapps.com/image/7qnbakmwazn57nb4vnb6laoslkgc3msb_hq.jpg"width="380">
//"I hope he doesn't get suspicious."//
He gently places a hand on your shoulder and says, "Riser, you've never been like this before. Are you feeling unwell? Maybe you should go back to rest in your room."
//"This is not going well. I can't risk getting caught, but I also can't keep lying."//
"I'm fine, Father, really. Just a little tired, I think. I'll rest for a while and come back to this later," you say, trying to sound as convincing as possible.
He gives you a reassuring smile, but you can tell he's still concerned.
//"I can't keep pretending like this. I need to find a way to figure out what's going on without raising suspicions."//
With a nod, you excuse yourself and head back to your room.
//"I need to come up with a plan. I can't stay here like this forever."//
[[Go back to your room]]
[[Tell him the truth.|Truth Father]]You return to your room, feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted from the events of the day. You jump on the bed, your mind still racing with questions and uncertainties. Despite the fatigue, sleep does not come easily.
//"How am I going to navigate this world? How did I end up here in the first place?"//
The unfamiliar room offers little comfort, and the weight of the situation continues to weigh heavily on your mind.

width="380">
//"I can't stay here indefinitely."//
As you lie in bed, you close your eyes and try to relax, hoping that sleep will provide some respite from the whirlwind of thoughts.

[[Sleep]]You take a deep breath and decide to tell your father the truth, unable to keep up the act any longer.
"Father, I need to be honest with you. I'm not Riser Phenex. I'm someone else," you admit.
Lord Phenex looks at you with a mix of surprise and concern.
<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ee/e8/87/eee8876c372fb6470594cc0246ed6add.jpg"width="350">
"You must be tired perhaps hallucinating. This is not like you, Riser," he says, trying to rationalize the situation.
//"He doesn't believe me. It's understandable, considering how bizarre my claim must sound."//
"Please, Father, believe me. I don't know how or why, but somehow I've ended up in this world, in Riser's body," you explain, trying to convince him.
He looks skeptical but also worried for your well-being.
"I think you should rest for a while. Maybe you'll feel better after some rest," he suggests, still not fully accepting your explanation.
//"What should I do now? He doesn't believe me, and I can't blame him for that."//
Feeling a bit defeated, you nod in agreement.
"Alright, I'll rest for a bit. But please, Father, this is real, and I need your help to figure out what happened," you implore, hoping he might reconsider.
[[Go back to your room]][[Wake up|Trapped1]]
You wake up to the sound of talking, and as you open your eyes, you find yourself surrounded by a group of people you don't recognize. They appear to be casting some kind of magic, and their intentions are unclear.
//"Who are these people? What do they want with me?"//
<img src="https://e1.pxfuel.com/desktop-wallpaper/398/391/desktop-wallpaper-male-ameriya-aqua-eyes-black-hair-green-eyes-group-hoodie-male-cool-anime-boys-with-black-hair-and-eyes.jpg"width="380">
Before you can react, a surge of powerful magic envelops you, knocking you back into unconsciousness.
//"What's happening? I can't let myself be taken down like this. I need to protect myself."//
You struggle to stay awake, but the overwhelming force of the magic overwhelms you, and you slip back into unconsciousness.
[[WAKE UP|Trapped1.1]]You wake up to find yourself trapped inside a dimly lit laboratory. Confusion and fear grip you as you try to recall how you got here.
<img src="https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp7340513.jpg"width="380">
//"How did I end up in a laboratory? What is going on?"//
Before you can gather your bearings, a hooded man materializes in front of you, his face obscured by shadows.
//"Who is this person? Are they responsible for bringing me here?"//
[["Who are you?"]]
[["Where am I?"]]
[["Who are you and where am I?"]]"Who are you?" you inquire, trying to sound assertive despite the fear bubbling inside you.
<img src="https://pm1.narvii.com/6435/372b6d2a6e6a6d67d12bba39d45bfb5067715d25_00.jpg"width="300">
The hooded man remains silent, not providing any answer to your question. Instead, he poses a counterquestion, "Who are you?"
//"Does he not know who I am, or is he playing mind games?"//
"I am...," you hesitate for a moment, unsure of how much information to reveal.
//"I can't let him know too much about me."//
[["Where am I?"]]
[["Who are you?"]]
[["Who are you and where am I?"]]
[["Tell him the truth."]]"Where am I?" you demand, trying to keep your voice steady despite the fear rising within you.

The hooded man remains silent, refusing to answer your question.
//"He's not going to tell me anything willingly."//
He looks at you intently and asks, "Who are you?"
//"I can't reveal my true identity to him. I don't know what he's capable of."//
"I am... no one of importance," you reply cautiously, trying to downplay your significance.
His gaze intensifies, and you can sense his suspicion.
[["Where am I?"]]
[["Who are you?"]]
[["Who are you and where am I?"]]
[["Tell him the truth."]]With a sense of determination mixed with apprehension, you decide to take the initiative and ask the hooded man some questions.
"Where am I? Who are you?" you inquire, trying to steady your voice.
<img src="https://pm1.narvii.com/6435/372b6d2a6e6a6d67d12bba39d45bfb5067715d25_00.jpg"width="300">
The man remains silent, his face still concealed by the shadows of his hood.
//"Why won't he answer? What does he want from me?"//
Before you can press further, he turns the tables and asks you, "Who are you?"
//"What should I tell him? I can't reveal too much about myself."//
[["Where am I?"]]
[["Who are you?"]]
[["Who are you and where am I?"]]
[["Tell him the truth."]]As the tension in the room escalates, you decide to take a risky gamble and tell the hooded man the truth about your identity.
"I'm not Riser Phenex. I'm someone else. I don't belong here," you admit, hoping that honesty might somehow lead to a resolution.
The man's eyes narrow, and for a moment, he seems taken aback by your confession.

//"Did I just make a huge mistake?"//
Before you can react or assess the situation, the hooded man starts casting a complex and deadly magic spell.

//"No, this can't be happening!"//
The magic surrounds you, and you feel its overwhelming power bearing down on you.
//"I need to do something, anything!"//
In a desperate attempt to protect yourself, you try to summon any knowledge or abilities you might have acquired from your memories of Riser Phenex. However, it's all in vain. You realize that despite having Riser's memories, you lack his true power and skills.
//"This is it. This is how it all ends."//
As the magic engulfs you, you feel yourself fading away, leaving behind nothing but memories of your true self and the bizarre journey that brought you to this world.
The magic was similar to that of a backhole leading to you not being able to regenerate.

[[Wake Up|Wakeup1.1]]You open your eyes, the memories of the hooded man's deadly magic and your futile struggle still fresh in your mind. But as you look around, you find yourself back in the bed of Riser Phenex, the familiar surroundings of his room greeting you.
<img src="https://img.freepik.com/premium-photo/comfortable-bed-with-white-pillows-room-generative-ai_220873-16822.jpg"
width="380">
//"Was that all a dream?"//
You try to process what just happened, uncertain if it was a real experience or a surreal nightmare.
//"It felt so real, though. The fear, the magic..."//
You touch your body, half-expecting to feel the aftermath of the deadly spell, but to your relief, you seem unharmed.
//"Was it all in my mind? Was it just an illusion?"//
Confused and disoriented, you take a moment to gather your thoughts. The memories of the confrontation with the hooded man remain vivid, making you wonder if it was indeed a real event or a part of some strange reality you've been caught in.
//"I need to make sense of this. What is happening to me?"//
//**Everything restarts here.**//
[[Look Around]]
[[Continue Sleeping]]You decide to head towards the training grounds, hoping to gain more insights into the world and its dynamics. As you arrive, you find your peerage already there, engaged in their training.
<img src="https://img.wattpad.com/120a3a62ab1aa429ef4de76d13a9b6a0d499fff5/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f515f6f6f4b4d4b37557975764f513d3d2d313238373133333232392e313732383365643535666465613563313233313535343133303235332e706e67?s=fit&w=720&h=720" width="380">
//"My peerage? This is all so surreal."//
They all turn their attention towards you as they notice your presence, and immediately, they give you a respectful bow.
"Hello, Riser-sama," they greet in unison.
//"They all think I'm their leader, Riser Phenex. I need to continue playing the part until I find a way out of this situation."//
[[Greet them back.]]You walk through the huge hallways, which you remember from your memories, heading towards the dining hall. As you make your way, you can't help but think about the unfamiliarity of the place and the strange events that have unfolded since you woke up.
//"What is going on here? How did I end up in this situation? Is this some kind of dream or a different reality altogether?"//
Finally, you reach the dining hall and enter it. The room is filled with elegant decor and a long table, where everyone seems to be gathered.
<img src="https://images.hellomagazine.com/horizon/original_aspect_ratio/6089fccb1e3b-2-windsor-castle-state-dining-room-a.jpg"width="380">
As you step inside, all eyes turn towards you, and you can't shake off the feeling of being scrutinized.
//"Stay calm. Act normal. Let's see if anyone can shed light on what's happening."//
With a composed demeanor, you move forward to join the others at the table, ready to engage in conversation.
[[Sit on the chair|dining hall 2]]You greet them back with a hello and a hand gesture to show that you've acknowledged their presence.
<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FEkSmUiWUAIh6-n.jpg"width="380">
After that, they continue their training, and Yubelluna starts walking towards your direction. She stands right in front of you, and you suddenly remember that in the Highschool DXD world, Riser would always kiss Yubelluna everytime they both met.
//"Oh no, what do I do now? I can't just go around kissing someone I barely know, especially if it's not even my body."//
You quickly try to think of a way to handle the situation without raising any suspicions.
"Yubelluna, it's good to see you," you say with a warm smile, trying to buy some time.
<img src="https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/11111/111112793/3361039-9341816129-5.jpg.jpg"width="380">
She smiles back, seemingly pleased with the greeting.
//"What should I do?"//
[[Think of some distraction]]
[[Kiss her]]As Yubelluna came closer, you panicked and instinctively pushed her away, surprising both her and yourself. This sudden change in behavior clearly caught her off guard.
"Riser-sama, is something wrong?" she asked with concern in her voice.
//"I can't let her get too close. I don't want to hurt her, but I can't pretend to be someone I'm not."//
You quickly gather your thoughts and try to find a way to explain your actions without giving away your true identity.
"I apologize, Yubelluna. I... I've been feeling a bit off today. Maybe I'm coming down with something," you say, hoping she would buy the excuse.
Her concern doesn't diminish, but she takes a step back, giving you some space.
//"I need to be more careful. I can't risk my true self being revealed."//
[[Continue with the training]]You follow the path your instincts tell you and kiss her.
//"Why am I even kissing her?"//
//"Is it because I don't want to get caught?"//
//"Or is it because I actually li.... Never mind that's impossible"//
As you continue kissing, you could feel the affection and respect Yubelluna had for you as she was so indulged in the act.
[[Sepetate]]coming soonAs you both seperate from a kiss, you both gave each other a smile.
//"I never knew a kiss could feel that good."//
"Riser-sama, lets go start training for today now."
"Ofcourse, lets go."
