The Arcane Alchemist of DxD

Raven felt pretty pleased with himself. It had been two months since Azazel's first visit, and his learning of magic was going well.

He had first decided to learn earth magic, he was using it to hollow out a new room below the basement. He enchanted the floor to work like an elevator, it was slow, but it worked.

Now he had a whole mad scientist lab attached to it alongside a study room. He had started making some basic potions.

Healing and Stamnia ones. He had even made a cauldron using some magic to molded some metal he had gotten his hands on.

However currrbtly he was looking at the large test tube holding his first homunculus. Nothing special, just a maid type one that could assist him in his work.

"Hm, growth is as expected. Another two days and she'll be fully grown. Man, Azazel would be so proud of me. Growing a beautiful woman." Raven laughed to himself before he walked off to start crafting more potions.

He had a lot of work to do.

First and foremost, he started on making a batch of Healijg, Stamina and Mana potions. The first two took more time then mana potions. Mana potions were basically water, a couple herbs and raw pure mana.

•~~~~•

"Done. 50 E-Class healing and Stamina potions. 100 E-Class mana potions. I need to buy a LOT more phials. Least I have something to show proof of my creation, but now just have to wait on you my dear." Raven said happily as he noted down his progress in his notebook, then progress of his first homunculus.

With a smile, Raven stretched and headed out, the eyes of his first creation blinking momentarily as they followed his location before closing again.

•~~~~•

"Hm, I'm not seeing any issues, how do you feel Ivy?" Raven asked, having decided that would be the name of his first creation, in honor of his former pet snake.

"My body feels fine master. Limbs move properly. Body reacts on command. Mana flow is unhindered. Dexterity is fine. Further test are needed." Ivy reported.

"Good. Now, lift these stones up." Raven ordered as he conjured a pile of stones up. Each heavier then the last, the final one a thousand pounds. He could lift it with a bit of effort.

"No issue lifting these master." Ivy reported and Raven nodded pleased.

"Good. Good. Now, let us go for a jog." Raven said as he waved his staff and a door opened to reveal a small running track. "Go for as long as you can, full speed." Raven ordered.

Raven sat there for two hours, having chosen to write down magic theory.

"You can stop." Raven declared at the two hour mark as Ivy ran in front of him and stopped perfectly five feet away.

"Well done. Your body is in good condition. No signs of exhaustion. No signs of decay. I think this was a success. Now, how do I explain this to Azazel? Probably just drop it on him yeah?" Raven mused to himself before grinning and nodding.

"We're done for the day, follow me." Raven said as he gestured for Ivy to follow him to the normal house part.

"You can pick a room of the remaining three to sleep in there." Raven said and Ivy bowed before moving to a room next to his.

Raven got to his bed, to lazy to change his clothes and waved his staff changing his clothes into his sleeping ones.

Idly he sent a text to Azazel if he could drop by tomorrow. He got a thumbs up and a second response saying 1pm. Raven gave a thumbs up in return.

•~~~~•

Raven opened his eyes and saw someone standing at the foot of his bed and instantly raised his staff channeling mana, before halting.

He noted it was Ivy.

"That could have ended up very bad. So very bad. Ivy please go make me a pot of coffee. Instructions are beside the coffee maker." Raven said as Ivy bowed and left.

"Working body, yes. Working mind, yes. Common sense, needs work." Raven laughed slightly as he returned his staff to his soul and got up. A quick shower and a fresh set of clothes on, he went downstairs and enjoyed the sweet nectar of coffee.

"Oh boy." Raven said as he saw how clean the living room was. "Ivy, did you do this?" Raven asked.

"Yes master. I had time between you waking up fully and getting ready while the coffee brewed." She said and Raven nodded in understanding.

"Oh, don't stand by me while I'm sleeping unless I'm greatly injured or order you to." Raven ordered as Ivy bowed her head.

"Yes master. Shall I make you breakfast?" She asked and Raven nodded his head as he sipped at his coffee.

•~~~~•

"Yo brat, you get a maid?" Azazel asked and Raven nodded his head as he gestured for Azazel to take a seat.

"Wait, you did!?" Azazel asked, the pride he felt obvious.

"Yes, I made a maid. Her names Ivy." Raven said smiling at Azazel who nodded in understanding. Then blinked. Looked at Ivy, back at Raven, back at Ivy, then at Raven finally.

"Huh?"

"Pft." Raven snorted as he laughed.

"I'm sorry uncle, but your face is priceless. Also can I have some of your feathers and blood?" Raven asked as Azazel.exe shut down.

It took a moment to reboot.

"You. Huh. Magic. Explain." Azazel was so confused. His second in command would smack him in the head.

"Couldn't tell ya. Right before coming to Japan I gained knowledge on homunculus. Perhaps a delayed spell or family type magic? Also through my inability to walk with my two left feet I tripped and made a hole in the floor, found a book on magic. So I started working on alchemy and enchanting." Raven explained happily.

Truly, he was living his best life right now.

"Ugh, you Inanis' are always such headaches." Azazel said and Raven chuckled.

"Thank you." Raven said with a small bow.

"Real question though, how did you know what I was?" Azazel asked and Raven pondered on what to say. He really should have thought this through.

Oh!

"A spell I made up, it shows me a persons name, race and strength. Though I can get it work with Ivy, so I'm pretty sure only I can use it." Raven explained shrugging and Azazel sighed.

"Just what I need. One son is the white dragon emperor, the other is some magic prodigy." Azazel bemoaned at his fate of universe given sons.

"White Dragon Emperor? Is that some fancy bdsm title?" Raven asked amused, playing an idiot was so much fun.

"Pft." Azazel started dying of laughter.

"Hahaha, if Vali and Albion heard that they'd die." Azazel was losing it. "That was great. I supposed I should give you a overview of the supernatural. It all started with the Big Bang." Azazel began.

Of course his tale was the best one, having been there when God and the other Primordials created the universe.

"Wow. Ngl though, big g sounds like a prude. Getting black wings for sex, lame." Azazel was dying of laughter again.

"Haha, yeah, dad was such a prude, but he still loved all of us, even those that fell." Azazel said with a bit of sadness in his eyes and tone before shaking it away.

"Anyway, what have you done since you learnt of magic?" Azazel asked as he started checking something sneakily.

"Well I started by learning enchantment magic. Fun stuff that. Had to fix my lab a few times from explosions. Then I started working on alchemy. Then I used a small few million dollars to make Ivy here. A high class maid homunculus." Raven said and Azazel blinked.

"Alchemy, makes sense I supposed. What did you focus on?" Azazel asked and Raven glanced at Ivy who walked off and returned casually carrying a large crate.

"Potions mostly. So far I've mastered making low level healing, stamina and mana potions." Raven casually said as Azazel curiously gulped down one each. He could feel the effects of each one.

"They're weak, but they definitely are impressive. An you did all that in two months?" Azazel asked impressed.

"Yep. Now, since you are the big bad governor of fallen angels, whatever that is, you think you could lend your godson some high class materials for his potions. Wink wink." Raven said grinning as Azazel laughed again.

"Yeah yeah you brat I get it. Write down what you want and need." Azazel said and Raven handed him an already written list.

"Of course you already have it. You had this planned. Truly, I have two devilish sons." Azazel laughed joyfully.

Then with ease he summoned his wings, a few feathers falling out on his command and he held them out before summing a glass ball and filling it with blood.

"Thanks for your contribution. I can do so much with this." Raven cackled gleefully as he looked at his status.

He was pleased to note that Azazel couldn't see it. He was more pleased to see his alchemy and enchanting skills having ranked up. Apparently he had to max them out together before they could evolve. Annoying.

"Welp I've doomed the world." Azazel said pleased at that, but at the results he found as well, though he took a mental deep breath at what else he found. He wasn't pleased at the last thing.

"Thank you. I can wait to make it all brimstone and fire." Raven said as he shoved the potion stocks into Azazel's hand and kicked him out. He had research to do and more potions to craft.

•~~~~•

Azazel teleported back into his office and set the crates down, he counted them out. 49 healing potions, 49 stamina potions, and 99 mana potions. He had taken one of each to test their effects.

He was incredibly pleased, he'd have to deposit some money into his godsons account. For now though, he was to angry to do so.

Someone had cursed his godson. Blocking the growth of his magical core. Though admittedly it was better then the alternative of it forever leaking out as it was before he sealed it off.

Now though, he wanted blood. He would get it sometime in the future, after he uncursed his godson.

"Hm, though once he gets going, he will make a fortune off these potions. A couple years and I'm sure he'll be desired by all the factions." Azazel laughed imagining the army of girls sent to seduce his godson.

Hopefully he got the godfather discount.

•~~~~•

Raven cackled as he started forming his next set of ether clumps to the desired form, but inside the center was a few drops of blood and a single pitch black feather.

Project Fallen Homunculus was a go!
