Kazuki woke up the next morning feeling energized. The events of the previous night still lingered in his mind as he stretched out, glancing around his room. The cat—Kuroka in her disguised form—was curled up at the foot of his bed, watching him with half-lidded eyes. He smirked at her, standing up and preparing for the day.

"Good morning," Kazuki said softly as he patted the cat's head. "I've got a busy day ahead, but don't worry, I'll be back later."

The cat purred in response, and Kazuki left the room. After getting dressed in his school uniform, he made his way to Kuoh Academy, knowing full well what was coming. Today marked the beginning of the canon events, and he could feel the anticipation bubbling inside him. The moment he'd been waiting for—the moment Issei Hyoudou's journey would begin—was almost here.

'This is it,' Kazuki thought, a wide grin spreading across his face. 'Let's see how the story starts to unravel now that I'm here.'

[Host, the canon is about to start soon,] the system chimed in, its voice clear and precise in his mind. [Are you prepared?]

'I've been prepared since day one,' Kazuki replied, his confidence unwavering. 'Let the game begin.'

As he entered the classroom, he resumed his role of the polite, attentive transfer student. He took his seat, listening half-heartedly to the lessons being taught. Thanks to his memories from his past life, studying came easily to him, and it wasn't difficult to maintain the illusion of a dedicated student. While the other students whispered about how smart and handsome he was, Kazuki's thoughts were elsewhere.

Hours passed, and finally, lunchtime arrived. Kazuki quickly made his way up to the rooftop, where he could have some peace. He wasn't there for solitude, though. He was waiting for the moment to arrive.

'Any minute now,' Kazuki thought, leaning against the fence that overlooked the school grounds.

[Host, it's about to begin,] the system said, sounding excited. [You should pay close attention now.]

Kazuki's gaze sharpened as he spotted Issei Hyoudou walking across the courtyard below, a bright smile plastered on his face. He was with Yuuma Amano—or rather, Raynare in disguise. Just as Kazuki had expected, the first major plot point of the story was unfolding before his eyes.

Issei and Yuuma walked together, holding hands and exchanging awkward smiles. Kazuki's eyes followed them intently as they moved, heading toward the location where Raynare would eventually reveal her true nature. Just like in the original story, she would kill Issei, setting the stage for Rias Gremory to save him and bring him into the world of devils.

Kazuki smirked, knowing the weight of the moment. 'Issei doesn't even know what's coming for him.'

He watched as the two disappeared from sight, the familiar scene playing out just like in the series. A few minutes later, he caught the glimmer of light that signaled Raynare's attack, the energy tearing through Issei's body. Kazuki could almost feel the protagonist's life slipping away, though he knew that wouldn't be the end of Issei's story. No, this was just the beginning.

Satisfied with what he'd seen, Kazuki decided to follow Raynare to her next destination. He knew she would retreat to the abandoned church where she and her fellow fallen angels were hiding. With a smirk, Kazuki disappeared into the shadows, using his abilities to blend seamlessly with the darkness around him.

Within minutes, he found himself standing outside the dilapidated building. The church was eerily quiet, the air thick with a malevolent presence. He stepped forward, his steps echoing faintly on the cracked stone floor as he made his way inside.

As expected, Raynare was there, recovering after her confrontation with Issei. She stood alone in the center of the room, her dark wings unfurled as she surveyed the area. Kazuki watched her for a moment before deciding to make his presence known.

"You seem tense," Kazuki said, his voice echoing through the church.

Raynare immediately tensed, her wings flaring out defensively as she spun around. "Who's there?" she demanded, her eyes scanning the shadows. "Show yourself!"

Kazuki stepped forward, a menacing smile spreading across his face as he emerged from the darkness. "There's no need to be on guard," he said, his voice calm but filled with an underlying threat. "I'm not here to fight you."

Raynare's eyes narrowed. "Who are you? And what do you want?"

Kazuki chuckled, stepping closer. "What I want," he said slowly, "is you."

Raynare's confusion quickly gave way to anger. "Me? Why would a devil want anything to do with me?"

"I want you to become my slave," Kazuki replied, his tone smooth and confident.

Raynare's eyes widened in shock before narrowing again, her anger bubbling to the surface. "A fallen angel, reduced to a devil's slave? You must be joking." She sneered, raising her hand as a spear of light materialized in her grip. "I'd rather die!"

She hurled the spear at him, but Kazuki was ready. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned the power of the abyss, a dark wave of energy rushing out to meet the light spear. The two forces collided, but the abyss quickly swallowed the light, leaving Raynare defenseless.

Kazuki didn't give her a chance to recover. He unleashed another wave of abyssal power, slamming into Raynare with enough force to send her crashing into the wall. The stone crumbled around her, and Raynare collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath as she struggled to stand.

In an instant, Kazuki was by her side, crouching down as he lifted her chin with his fingers. "You're strong," he said, his voice soft but dangerous. "But you're no match for me."

Raynare glared up at him, her pride refusing to let her submit so easily. "I'll never be a slave to a devil like you," she spat, her eyes filled with hatred.

Kazuki's smirk deepened. "Oh, I think you will," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. He activated his Asmodeus abilities, his innate charm and seduction magic washing over Raynare in waves. "Submit to me, Raynare. Become mine, and I'll spare you."

Raynare tried to resist, but the power of Kazuki's charm was overwhelming. She felt

her mind clouding as the intense temptation washed over her. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced. Her body trembled, and despite her best efforts to resist, she found herself sinking deeper into submission. The power of the Asmodeus family was too potent, and her will was breaking.

"N-No…" she whispered, her voice shaky, but Kazuki's power only grew stronger. He leaned closer, his gaze locked on hers as he whispered the final command.

"Become my slave, Raynare. You belong to me now."

Raynare's resistance finally crumbled. Her defiant expression melted away, replaced by a look of helpless surrender. Her pride as a fallen angel was shattered, and she bowed her head. "I… I submit," she said, her voice barely audible. "I'll be your slave…"

A satisfied smile spread across Kazuki's face as he gently placed a hand over Raynare's abdomen. He channeled his magic, and with a faint glow, a slave crest appeared on her belly, marking her as his.

"There we go," Kazuki said softly, pulling away and standing up. "Now you're mine."

Raynare looked up at him, a mix of shame and confusion in her eyes. She had never imagined being in this position—a proud fallen angel, now the slave of a devil. But there was no escaping the reality now.

Kazuki bent down and gently fixed her tattered clothes, his touch surprisingly gentle. "Go back to your allies," he commanded, his voice authoritative. "But don't tell them what happened here tonight. I'll be calling on you in two days. Understood?"

Raynare nodded silently, her head still bowed in submission. She rose to her feet and, without another word, spread her wings and flew out of the broken church, disappearing into the night.

Kazuki watched her leave, feeling a sense of triumph. "That went even better than I expected," he muttered to himself. With Raynare under his control, things were progressing perfectly.

As he made his way back to his mansion, Kazuki felt a sense of satisfaction, but also excitement for what was to come. He had just made his first major move in this world, and now he was eager to see how the story would unfold from here.

Once he arrived home, he collapsed onto his bed, thinking about his next steps. Just as he was about to drift off, the system spoke up.

[Host, that was an impressive performance today. You've already managed to enslave a fallen angel.]

Kazuki smirked. "Of course. This is only the beginning."

[With your abilities and the power of the abyss, you're going to reshape this world to your will,] the system added, its voice filled with approval.

Kazuki's smirk widened. "And I wouldn't have it any other way."
