DXD: A Solomon King

I lost more than one host because of assassinations when they were children. Wait.

. .

DON'T TELL ME IT HAPPENED AGAIN!"

"Nearly!" Solomon said, standing up in rage. "They set fire to Issei's home and killed his parents as a result!"

"My apologies…Had you not been born with me, Issei, none of that would have happened. "

"It's not your fault, Ddraig!" Issei said, trying not to make him feel bad. "It is the fault of the ones who set the fire, not you! You didn't do anything!"

"You are too kind, Issei," Ddraig replied, then he decided to continue. "But Solomon, know that nothing is over.

The way the war ended, the way I became sealed, was because I fought my rival and our fight caused so much chaos the three factions made a truce to unite and strike us down. We were even in power, and his name is Albion, The White Dragon Emperor, also known as the Heavenly Dragon of Supremacy.

Like me, he is sealed within his own Gear, Divine Dividing which is also a Longinus. Since then, we had our hosts do the fighting between us.

"

"So you're telling me Issei will have to one day fight this Albion's host?" Solomon asked.

"Huh?! But I don't want to fight anyone! I just want to find justice for my parents!"

"I am sorry, I truly am, but there is no stopping it. I and Albion always find each other and fight, no matter how prepared a host might be.

Tell me, Issei, how old are you?"

"Eight?" At this, Ddraig looked like he was told he was a pathetic lizard.

"EIGHT?! Are you kidding me?! The earliest anyone was able to awaken the Boosted Gear was fourteen, not a year earlier!" Ddraig said, feeling an opportunity here.

Solomon cleared his throat. "I think that is my fault.

I noticed a certain spark of power and tried to pry it open since the incident. I might have accidentally awakened the Boosted Gear early.

But is there an issue?"

"On the contrary, Solomon, this is brilliant!" Ddraig said. "Issei, know that if you want to master my power you will need to train hard.

Most users of my Gear would need some time before awakening the Balance Breaker - I will explain it later - but since you are so young, I have high expectations that by the time we fight Albion and his host, we will be more than ready. "

"What makes you so sure, Ddraig?" Solomon asked with skepticism.

"Because the current White Dragon Emperor cannot be much older than Issei, maybe 2 or 3 years his senior. I know because our last hosts died at the same time, and there is usually a small difference like that when the Gears are given.

" Ddraig explained. "Albion's host likely doesn't have its Gear active yet, while Issei does, meaning we are already ahead!"

"Easy there, old friend!" Solomon said, preventing Ddraig from forcing Issei to train. "Issei is but a boy, so even if we do train him to fight, we must do it with that in mind.

"

"Hmm. Very well! But let's at least try and unlock the next stage of the Boosted Gear before the end of the year.

My gear has multiple stages, each hiding an ability. It will be a small while before it is fully awakened, but for now, the supernatural should leave him mostly alone.

Currently, in this form, the Boosted Gear resembles and lets out the aura of a simple Twice Critical, a low-level Gear. He is safe.

"

Solomon smiled, but then it dropped. "Unfortunately, old friend, there is one more thing you need to be aware of…"

"Heh?"
