Date A Live Vol 1 Light Novel

Shidou Itsuka has a problem. The world has been racked by massive quakes of an unknown source for years now, though life goes on. Then one day, Shidou's calm life ends forever when in the middle of a quake in his city, he meets a girl who's apparently a spirit-and the cause of all the destruction! When a team arrives to eliminate the threat, Shidou becomes embroiled in a war to protect these spirits-by making them fall in love with him?!

A spirit in flames, a town on fire… Shido was determined to save Kurumi and Mana. He simply had to. At the critical moment, though, he found himself immobilized, unable to keep his promise. Had Kotori Itsuka not shown up at the last second, everything would have been over... Nevertheless, Shido feels like his world has come crashing down, especially after discovering his little sister is a Spirit, too... Now he’s been called to save her using the only method he knows: taking her on a date and making her fall for him. He needs to act fast—because he only has one day to complete this seemingly impossible mission!

When it rains, it pours! ​Things have only gotten stranger for Shido ever since Tohka transferred to his school. These days, his life teeters between heaven and hell, and the forecast today points toward the latter. He’s already been caught in the line of fire between Tohka and Origami, and a sudden downpour leaves him sopping wet. Just his luck. Lately, it seems the only place he can catch a break is in the comfort of his own home. That’s all about to change, however, when a new “training” regimen calls for him to live with Tohka—and while Shido is at his most vulnerable, a second Spirit emerges from the storm…

Battle of the bands! The students of Tengu City’s ten high schools are all hard at work preparing for the annual Tenou festival. So what better time for a Spirit to appear and liven up the festivities?! Shido’s latest adversary is a talented singer by the name of Miku Izayoi. With a voice bewitching enough to place anyone under her spell, this spoiled princess is used to getting her way. Dealing with her sense of entitlement is bad enough, but then Shido’s attempts to win her heart quickly go awry when he makes a worrying discovery—Miku doesn’t like men! If he wants to bring her into the fold, he’s going to need to get…creative.

THE KNIGHT SEEKS REVENGE With a sports festival on the horizon, the Occult Research Club expects smooth sailing after all the recent trouble. Everyone seems happy enough—except for Kiba, that is. The pretty boy hasn’t been himself since he saw an old picture of Issei. Things only get worse when two beauties arrive in town with powerful Holy Swords called Excaliburs—deadly weapons Kiba long ago swore to destroy. Issei promises to help his friend, but do the demons really stand a chance against such legendary might?

I had to accept that I wasn’t just Arthur Leywin anymore, and that I could no longer be limited by the circumstances of my birth. If I was going to escape, if I was going to go toe-to-toe with the most powerful beings in this world, I needed to push myself to my utmost limit...and then I needed to push even further. After nearly dying as a victim of his own strength, Arthur Leywin wakes to find himself far from the continent where he was born for the second time. Alone, broken, and with no way to tell his family he’s alive, Arthur must rebuild his strength to survive. As he ascends through an ancient dungeon filled with hostile beasts and devious trials, he discovers an ancient, absolute power - a power that will either ruin him or take him to new heights. But the dungeon won’t give up its knowledge easily. Before he can plunder its depths, Arthur must learn to untangle the threads of fate. He must band together with the unlikeliest of allies if he hopes to escape with his life.

ASIA’S GETTING MARRIED?! ​Long ago, Asia used her Sacred Gear to save the life of a demon, a benevolent act that resulted in her being ousted from the Church. Now that demon, Diodora Astaroth, is back and hoping to wed Asia. She refuses, but the seemingly friendly man is persistent. As the Gremory Familia’s next Rating Game opponent, he wagers that if he wins, Asia will be his bride. Naturally, Issei’s not about to let some pretty boy snatch up the blond beauty in his life, but Diodora’s machinations may prove more sinister and cunning than initially suspected. Returning home with Asia could require drastic measures...
