Trainer in the Devildom

Leviathan's Dilemma

Y/N can barely keep up with Levi as she's being dragged by the sleeve of her coat as the demon pulls her up a set of stairs as Charizard glares at him. He stops outside a door and looks around, as if making sure no one was around before he pulls her inside and locks the door. Y/N stumbles over a drink can that had been left on the floor, as she looks around the strange room. 

“Watch it!” Levi grumbled and scoops up a magazine from the floor before she stepped on that too. Y/N looks around the room in wonder. There is a huge aquarium, jellyfish lights hang from the wall, there's a large bookshelf full of books but mostly magazines and mangas. There is a large computer station with four monitors and a huge TV, another shelf is full of DVDs. There's a bathtub that looks like it's supposed to be a bed. Her water pokemon would love this setting.

“You really like water don’t you.” she says in awe of the aquatic theme. Levi rolls his eyes. “Of course I do….I am Leviathan.” he said, enunciating his name slowly. Y/N giggled as she nods. 

“I like it.” she smiles at him eventually. Levi grins back, forgetting himself for a moment before he scowls again.

“I don’t really care, your opinions don’t mean anything to me.” he retorts. 

'What a tsun-tsun...' “So...why did you drag me in here like that?” The female trainer questioned him. 

Levi blushes and looks annoyed, “...What’s that now? You want to know why I looked around to see if anyone was watching before I closed the door? Why do you THINK I did it? Isn’t it obvious? Imagine what would happen if someone saw me inviting you into my room! A human who doesn’t even look like an otaku but a normie! You know what people would say, right?!”

Y/N just stares at him blankly; she doesn't have time to know these things due to her job. 

“So..you’re worried about what others would think?” she asks. 

Levi misunderstands her question and stammers. “Of...of c-c-c-...of c-c- course not! Th...th-that’s crazy! There’s room in my heart for only one person, and she’s animated! I’ll always stay faithful to my dear, sweet Ruri-chan, always! Why would people talk?! I mean, me and some non-otaku - some normie?! And not only that, a THREE-DIMENSIONAL one from the real world?! It’s Insane, that’s what it is!”

"Ok...." Y/N said looking around the room.

Levi sees what Y/N is looking at and tries to keep the excitement from his voice when he asks,  “What is it, human? What’re you looking at? Wait, that looks like...The Tale of the Seven Lords. Are you a fan of that, too?”

Y/N looks back at Leviathan, “Sorry, I’ve never read this. My job back home demands a lot of travel and time, so I don't really know a lot of anime and games. The bindings are beautiful though.”

Leviathan looks taken aback. “...Excuse me? You don’t know TSL? And you call yourself a human?! Just how clueless ARE you?! How could you not know?! Just the fact that you don’t know TSL alone is proof that you’ve been wasting your life! What kind of job do you have that deprives you of this stuff?!?! So, I’m going to do you a favor and teach you about TSL. Make sure you pay attention!”

Y/N was surprised but she gives Levi her full attention as Charizard laid down, mindful of his tail, so Y/N can rest against him.

“The Tale of the Seven Lords, otherwise known as TSL. Is a series of fantasy novels written by Christopher Peugeot. It’s a heroic epic spanning 138 volumes, and it’s the most widely-read fantasy series in the world. There are even theatrical versions, an animated series and feature films, too. And it’s been translated into a total of 182 different languages. The 1990’s theatrical version was an utter disaster, owing to the fact that they added several characters that were NOT present in the original manuscript. At the time I was like, This producer totally needs to crawl in a hole and die! But then the 2015 version came out, and it was AMAZING! Better than amazing! If you ask me, it showed that needlessly cramming a female lead in there alongside Henry was a bad idea. That’s not what he needs. What he NEEDS is a friend who really understands him, and the 2015 version proved that. Also, the most vital element of the story is that each of the seven lords is so unique. They’re all so interesting in their own peculiar way. That’s what makes TSL so great!”
