《Heir of the artificial Gamer system》 Darkness Darkness. That''s all that I can see anywhere I look, wait a second¡­ actually I can''t turn my head, so nevermind. Darkness is all that I can see in the direction that I am facing currently. That sounds better, anyways I kind of expected this to be honest, I never believed in "The" God, I believed that there were "gods" or entities that were above us or had some sort of supernatural powers but never actually believed in an afterlife. And I was right, wasn''t I? There''s literally nothing here¡­ Wait what''s that? Just kidding there''s nothing, at all. So what am I supposed to do now? Do I float here until I go insane? Can I even go insane anymore since y''know, I don''t exactly have a body anymore I don''t think. How long have I actually been here? All I remember before this darkness is that I was a massive fucking weeb with not much purpose in life if I''m being brutually honest, I went to school like any other normal person, lived life like a completely normal person, took hits like a completely normal person, ate breakfast like a normal person, only thing not normal about my life was my anime addiction. Unhealthy anime addiction to be exact. Being a weeb actually helps you a lot when you assassinate someone, making plans is really easy (not that they''re good plans, mind you), executing them is another matter entirely but the plan part is rather easy. Even if plans don''t always go the way you expect them to. It''s time for the fan favourite, story explaining, AWESOME, AMAZING AND UTTERLY COOL "FLASHBACK NO JUTSU!" *Flashback* Sitting on top of a concrete roof I take my eyes away from the metal edge of the scope, this shit hurts after waiting for a while, doesn''t help that I''m using enough pressure to break my skull. The metal kinda just bites into the area around your eye, I''m sure if I had a mirror right now I''d look like a retard with a monocle around my right eye. Amusing thought. I adjust my body into a more comfortably position and notice that there''s not much sound around me, which is kinda weird since usually you''d hear birds chirping or crickets making their crickety sounds¡­ This is actually super creepy, not the first time I''ve been on a sniping run, most of my hits are done by sniping actually. Not to brag or anything but I''m actually known as sniping god. (On runescape, due to my 99 archery) Anyways, who the fuck cares about some stupid birds? Me obviously, you didn''t actually expect me NOT to care about the nonexistant sounds of nature around me? I turn around and look at the rooftop entrance that sticks out of the roof, door''s still closed and the handle trap hasn''t been triggered yet. Said trap being a piece of wire attached to the handle which will make a plate fall if the door is opened, simple but effective, suprisingly so. So I assume that birds are just being cunts, seriously, kids, don''t be a sniper, its uncomfortable and soggy and wet and shit. I''m only doing it because I am obviously being forced to. I have absolutely no choice in the matter and I am not doing this out of boredom. Murdering people is bad, don''t do it guys¡­ Believe me? Yes? Oh good. I was hoping someone would believe me, I am not a bad murderer, I swear on my innocence. After checking the door handle one more time I turn my head back to my sexy sniper, putting my puffy, and at the same time indented eye monocle to the scope once again. And wait. And wait some more after waiting. I might wait some more after waiting after that? I don''t really know yet. I think I''ll wait some more. After waiting for what seems like hours I decide to break the 4th wall and give some exposition for my sexy readers (Pogs if you''re a member of the female species). My target today is some fat guy (Apperently there''s a difference between fat and obese, who knew?) who murdered his aunt for not funding his dying business. Kinda weird if you think about it since his aunt is the only person that could help his business (I presume) but he goes and murders her, what a weirdo am I right? Totally not what I''d do,It''s too simple, instead I''d seduce my aunt, get her pregnant (not with my child, obviously,) and then while she''s in labour 9 months later I''d hire an assassin to poison her and then catch that assassin and murde- Kill the assassin out of self defence, before the poison sets in too much, then give the antidote to my aunt which was conveniently on the assassins somehow dead body, and then gain her trust after raising our children together for 5 years, and then steal all her money and flee to morocco and start a drug empire. It''s a completely foolproof plan that has no faults whatsoever, don''t even try to argue with me on this point, because your arguments are completely irrelevant and unfeasible, Change of subject required. I forgot to mention I can''t be bothered with things like "camo" pfft who needs that, I''ve got a custom skin on my 50cal of Albedo with barely anything covering her nips, It''s fucking hot. If you don''t know who Albedo is I''m utterly disappointed in your lack of cultural knowledge. Leave. God I''m so fucking bored on this roof top, who knew patience was a must have when you were a sniper? I wasn''t informed of this, I didn''t sign up for this shit, (Yes I did) I shrug my shoulders to get the stiffness out of them and take a sip from my long cold coffee, it tastes like cold coffee. Who knew? Some birds shat on me a while ago but I can''t really bring myself to care since I''m just wearing a plain white shirt and not one of my special overlord shirts, or worse my highschool dxd shirts, I''d skin the bird that shat on me if I was wearing either of those. They''re LIMITED edition! I put my eye back to my scope and felt the metal edge dig into the indent around my eyes, and said eyes widen in surprise, my target has finally arrived! I aim up my shot on top of his chest and activate the wind calibrater, it''s quite windy so I can''t just wing it this time, I''m also really far away so the bullet would inevitably be put off course by the wind. After a few seconds of measuring the wind it gives me an approximate of the wind direction and speed, I readjust my shot and steady my breathing. I''ve done this dozens of times but it never fails to get my heart pumping, blood boiling, dick hard and read to fuck. I pull the trigger and the bullet launches itself out of my 50cal at subsonic speeds, It takes not even 2 seconds to travel the distance between me and the fat guy, pounding his face and taking half of it to the wall on his left, along with the rest of his body falling to the ground. The Prostitute he was about to pick up flailing about and running around like a headless chicken. Maybe I should kill her too? Nah, gotta get out of here before cops show up. Cya fat man.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. *Clap. Clap. Clap*. Oh, oh no, I''ve been duked "You got him, good job Mister Ira" My weeb senses are going off the charts, this guy is talking in japanese, sounding like a stereotypical thug (Don''t ask how he sounds like a thug, he just does) and I can understand him fully, those japanese courses are paying off already! And my friend''s told me it''s a waste of time and I was a massive weeb, who''s laughing now?! Wait a second wasn''t there some guy just behi- *BOOM* Curse you door trap! How could you betray me?! I felt searing pain in my left thigh and I knew for sure that that shot cracked the bone, I think it might''ve also completely destroyed my artery, So I''m bleeding out no matter what I do. There''s only one way to go out now, hehe. And I''m taking you with me doortrap-kun. I spin around using my arms and face the man whos holding a shiny deagle aimed straight at me. He''s the guy who hired me to kill the other guy! I realise that I''ve been setup from the beginning now, as understanding dawns upon me I see a glint in his eyes. I should''ve seen this coming! He smelled like trouble from a mile away, damn it! "So you''ve realised now huh? Yes, This was all an elaborate setup planned by me ever since you assasinated my elder sister 4 years ago! Mwahahaha I have finally taken revenge and I''ll leave you to bleed out on this roof, but you can''t die before I monologue my entire planning processes for you. So, where to begi- huh what''s that?" I grin wickedly at his idiocy, while he was talking like generic bad guy number 3 I''ve been preparing this little surprise for him. I know for sure that I''m going to bleed out no matter what, and I''ve always wanted to do something like this, It seemed fun. "SUICIDE NO JUTSU BITCH! SUCK MY LEFT NUT"And with that half of the building combusts into a massive fireball, Originating from the 25 kilograms of plastic explosives strapped to my chest. I always wear a suicide vest just incase something like this happens (It''s also good training), or if someone uses a tranquillizer dart on me for capture, or something like that. As someone wise once said, it''s better to be over prepared and seen an paranoid then to be underprepared and actually be a retard, or something like that I think. Probably. The flaming heat death is actually kinda relaxing, feels like I''m a giant crab cooking in an oven, that''s over 3000 celsius degrees hot. Relaxing. *Flashback end* "Hmmm, now that I reflect on all that, I have to say that those actions of mine were simply and utterly FUCKING AWESOME! Seriously! You should''ve seen his face when I told him to suck my left nut, it was fucking hilarious. I loved every moment of that!" Wait why am I talking to myself in this eternal void? Wait how did I even speak tho? Didin''t I have no body to speak with? After thinking about it for a second I completely understand, obviously I was projecting my mental voice out into the void. Sagely nodding I realise I can also move my head, So I wasn''t actually projecting my voice into the void? That''s depressing as shit. Anyways, time to try what every generic anime protagonist tries when they regain control of their body after getting hit by truck-kun, except in my case it''s actually explosion-kun. Self explosion-kun. Which is talking to the void in hopes that someone hears me and can explain what''s possibly going on. Taking a deep breath I prepare to shout out into the void. Just kidding, did you seriously think I would actually do something that dumb? That''s like the number 1 rule of anything. Lets just pretend for a second that I wasn''t floating in an endless void, lets instead pretend I was in a cave or forest. Would YOU shout out into the unknown and possibly very very dangerous cave or forest? No you wouldn''t, that''s retarded. The only difference between a forest or cave and this endless void is that in a forest or cave the worst thing that will attack you is a bear, or a big cat (Read: Cheetah) but both those you have a small chance to fight off, if you know what you''re doing, of course. However if you call out into the endless VOID, what do you expect will show up? , , or some other really scary thing. (I''m leaning towards cthulu) It''s also completely possible that I''m just inside a womb, but that''s unlikely since I can''t actually feel anything, in a womb you''re supposed to feel tight, warm or something, right? Or I might still be an embryo or sperm. But since I probably wouldn''t have consciousness if I was a sperm cell and since I can''t feel anything currently, I will have to be forced to come to the conclusion that I am indeed in a void. Great, back to step 1. Okay, calm down, let''s just access the situation for now. I died, I know that for sure, pretty sure a giant explosion can kill just about anyone. I am also currently floating in some kind of void, it is NOT a womb since I can''t feel anything. And lastly I am still conscious since I can still think. Okay, not too bad. If I can''t think of any other plans to get out of here then I''ll try shouting out into the void and hoping for the best, and If that fails¡­ I guess I''ll just suck it up and go insane, they do say insanity and genius have only a fine line between them. Okay, trying plan 1, I try to move my hands and it works! Great progress so far. I try to move my legs and clench my ass cheeks, it all works. Great, I move my hands down and check if I still have my most important asset. It''s there, relief floods my system and I instantly feel better, nice. Good. I move my hands to my ass and realise there''s still only 1 hole back there, that''s good too. I check if I have tits, and I''m glad to say that I do not. But if I did I wouldn''t mind too much, I''m sure you''ve wondered how they would feel if you fondled them. Seems like women enjoy it plenty. Okay, trying plan 1 for real this time. "Stats" I think inside my own head. Oof, plan 1 is a failure, I repeat, plan 1 is a failure. We''ll get em next time. Okay plan 2: "Stats" I say out loud this time¡­ Nothing. Fuck. Time for plan 3¡­. "Hello? Anyone out there? Don''t murder me¡­ Please?"... What did you expect? I only had 1 freaking plan. In my defence, It seemed like the perfectly normal and logical thing to do¡­ Right? *Ping* "SNIPER GET DOWN!" sorry, had to. Hehhehe "Gamer system engaged, connecting user to system. Please wait" "... Hell YES!" And then everything fades to an even blacker than before. Character creation! Opportunity! Over the next few minutes I had to force myself to calm down, I know for a fact that the gamer power is extremely overpowered in all fanfictions that I''ve read (Unless the maincharacter is a dumb cunt) It''s kind of pathetic to say but I had a lot of spare time back before I died. The homework that I had was completed in minutes and the only real subject that I actually invested myself into was physics. Love physics, I''d fuck it if I could but sadly that''s impossible. Right? I began contemplating what this all meant. Would the worlds that I go into all be extremely realistic or would they be full of really shitty npcs that can only say certain dialogue? Honestly that was the only reason I didn''t really enjoy games that much, it wasn''t realistic, you could act like a god with mods on skyrim but the npc''s would just act the same. I hated that part of games, so I usually only played fps games, where there were no npc''s. I also read fanfiction instead of playing games. Just suited me more. But it was also funny shooting 4 people in the head in a row and being called a hacker in cs go casual, but that gets really boring really quick. Don''t get me wrong I wasn''t using hacks or anything, my reflexes had developed to the point that time actually seemed to slow down when my heart rate jumped. I''m not sure if that''s normal but I''m just going to assume that I''m that awesome that time itself was like "oh my god ur so kawaii" and bent over like a whore in heat for me to take. And totally not the other way around of my brain speeding up and my perception of time therefore being faster, or slower? uh confusing. Wait¡­ both of those sound kinda cool, fuck. But the first one sounds better, let''s go with that, yeah? Yeah. Anyways I''m getting off track once again. Where was I? Oh yeah, would the npc''s be realis- *Ping* *System can explain that to the idiot host. The "npcs" would be fully realistic and completely life-like. Praise the system" Oh fuck, did I get one of those sassy systems that pretends to be a god? Or something? It can''t read my mind right? I sure fucking hope not, that would be gross. But I kind of doubt it can actually get past my mental defences, hopefully. And even if it does get past the solid walls of sheerawesometaniumness then it wont get past my tentacle trees. Heheheh, I know what you''re all thinking you sick pervs and I''m thinking the exact same thing. Sadly I haven''t had a chance to test my mental defences out so far because no one in my world was a telepath to my knowledge. Or maybe my defences just suck ass and telepaths just read my mind and found my secret porn stash. Or my credit card details, I don''t really know which is more important to be honest. My porn stash had some really limited edition hentai. *Ping* *Praise the system* Uh¡­ I thought it was joking, how do I praise an all powerful godly system? Is it like praising a little girl? Because it sure doesn''t sound like a cute little girl¡­ The system has a cold ring to its voice, it kind of sounds like a robot now that I think about it. I''m not gonna have a "I''m sorry dave, I''m afraid I can''t do that" moment, right? Okay well¡­ Here we go I guess "Uh, system you''re so great and amazing, I can feel it radiating off your divine¡­ body and soul. Your aura is getting me hot and sticky, you''re gonna take care of that right?" Let''s hope it doesn''t know what that means, If it does I''m kinda fucked¡­ I doubt a god wants a mortal lusting after it. *Ping* *Praise satisfactory. Please continue with character creation* Okay so I wasn''t just saying that I was getting hot and sticky for the memes, I was testing to see whether or not this system was sort of like an AI or a fully functioning god or similar to a human, It''s leaning towards being an AI. Which can usually be exploited pretty easily. Usually. Yeah. But how do I "continue" with character creation? I didn''t even start it¡­ uh "Character creation" I say outloud, hoping that I don''t look retarded while doing it. I probably do tho, even if no one is watching me except an emotionless system thingy. *Ping* *Acknowledged. Begin character creation.* Name; Ira Soulhearth, The heir of the artificial Gamer system Level; 0 (Before death, 24) Class; N/A (Before death, Assassin 43/50, Student 50/50, Scientist 50/50 Physistist 100/100, Genius 41/50 -Press to view 29 more) Race; N/A (Before death, Human (96%) (due to dna defects) Alignment; Chaotic-Evil (Before death, Chaotic-neutral) Hp; 0 (Before death, 295max) Mana; 0 (Before death, 314max) SP; 0 (Before death, 295max) STR; 0 (Before death, 16) END; 0 (Before death, 14) DEX; 0 (Before death, 23) INT; 33 (Before death, 32) Wis; 33 (Before death, 33) CHA; 0 (Before death, 9) LCK; 10 (Default 10) Credits; 0 (before death, 0) [HP=END X 21] [HP REGEN=END X 10] Every 5 minutes [MANA=INT X 10] [MANA REGEN=WIS X 5] Every 60 seconds [SP=END X 20] [SP REGEN= END X 10] Every 60seconds *You do not currently possess a body, therefore strength values are forbidden.* Wow, that''s quite a bit to take in¡­ What''s the average value for a human back in my world? I''m gonna assume it might be 10 since LCK defaults to 10, I sure didn''t feel very lucky back in my other world. But whatever, Also, I WAS RIGHT! Ha! Take that, I WAS projecting my voice from my mind when I "speak" since I don''t have a body. That''s not exactly a good thing to be honest, but whatever. I was right and you were wrong hehehehe, So¡­ I was level 24 before I died huh? I guess that makes sense, If games work the way I think they do then you get XP for killing stuff, right? I killed quite a few people¡­ But the game system wasn''t initiated back then, right? So how did I become level 24? And what does level 24 even mean? Was that the reason I became stronger than most people I met? Or was my STR the result of hours of training? If it''s the first one then that really undermines my efforts, but if it''s the second one then what are levels good for? Damn this is confusing. *Ping* *System can answer that question for host. All physical values are only multiplying your base capabilities. For example, a body builder with mountains of muscle with 20 STR is more likely to beat a skinny person with 30 STR. The STR value merely "adds" onto what is already there. Host had a very healthy body before death, so therefore the 16 STR that you possessed was being very helpful. Intelligence is much the same. All stats only boost what is already there. Stats are not everything, they are supplementary.* Oh,I see. That makes sense, but if that''s the case why do I have 0 STR, if it''s just to boost your base then that doesn''t make sense, did you lie to me about why it''s 0? Ah whatever, It''s fine, no point in arguing with a being which can supposedly sneeze me out of existence. "Can I assign stat points or whatever comes next?" *Ping* *Host must first create a suitable body* Oh, Yeah I suppose that''s what I should do first, I''m gonna create a body that''s suitable for the gods! Hehehe. After hours, or maybe even days (I can''t tell the time) I created a body that was sculpted into perfection, at first the character creation was really shitty, I had to imagine a body into existence and then keep it there in my head while I sculpted it, but the parts that I had already completed would morph into something else if I didn''t focus my attention on it. It was annoying as shit so I decided to put my 33 INT into action and made an actual character creation screen. I made it so it''s similar to skyrim and fallout, I had sliders that I could adjust and once I left the sliders it would STICK there, and not change. It worked. And that''s how I created this sexy human being. Since the stats values only add to what is already there, I made sure to exploit the character creation future as much as possible. Here goes my best attempt at explaining all that I did. First of all I made sure that my brain was as dense and big as I could possibly make it (safely) This would ensure that I had at least a little more brain cells, neuron pathways, and other miscellaneous things than a normal human being. Next I made sure that my eyes weren''t completely human. It''s hard to explain what I exactly did but I''ll try my best. I had sudden enlightenment during the creation of my eyes and remembered that, hey, I can exploit the shit out of this system. Right? Right?! So I decided to look into the depths of my memories back to when I was studying bird biology. Then I stuck two eagle eyes into my skull and was like "cool" But of course the system had to be a little cunt and tell me that "Character creation error encountered, Human body is not functional. Debuff applied if using the current body:Blindness" So obviously, I couldn''t just get a completely different species eyes and had to adapt it, A lot¡­ It must''ve taken me atleast 2 days to completely adapt the eagle eyes to work with a human''s brain. When the blindness debuff finally fucked off I was ecstatic, eagles can see a tiny rabbit in the air up to 3miles away, while the human eye has problems seeing a sign from 20meters away. Once I got the eagle''s eyes working I KNEW that I had to exploit the system as much as I could possibly exploit it, I didn''t matter if I got a few debuffs along the way, As long as I got more then I lost, I''m good. So I delved into the deepest pits of my memory and reviewed my entire life. Everything that I learned, everything that I heard, Everything and anything that I knew would make me more overpowered in the end. And I think I got it to work too. When creating my body I could only use "biological components" which means no cyber body for me sadly, but nature can be really, really scary when it wants to. Let me show you what I mean. I made my muscles to be as dense as possible, but modified them to be even leaner than swimmers, This gives me utter power in a tiny frame, I made myself 6 foot on the dot, Being too tall can be really bad in close combat situations, but being too short will be bad too, you can''t intimidate people if you''re a midget after all. So somewhere in the middle works. I modified my spine as much as possible, since the spine is honestly just a death trap, the entire human body is very poorly designed, thanks to evolution only being able to focus on one problem at a time. My spine therefore is much more flexible, but twice as strong and durable as a normal human spine, I achieved this by adding more connecting vertebrae in between my spinal disks, but Instead of using something as stupid as bone (which isn''t very flexible) I instead used a mixture of bones, muscles and tendons for support between my spinal disks. I''ve got 4 muscle pillars, 2 tendons and 2 bones connecting each of my disks. This makes sure that if the bones break,then there''s still 6 other connecting points, and if my bones break then at that point I become EVEN more flexible. Since my bones will no longer hold back my flexibility, even if my tendons snap in my back then that''s still all good. Muscles are quite good at holding things together after all. So to reflect, basically my spine has become as best as I could make it, without spending weeks or months on refining it. Another thing that I did was add more than one main neural node connector to my brain, so even if my main neural node connector breaks or gets disconnected, I still won''t be entirely paralysed. So even if my spine completely breaks I''ll still be able to move my lower body. No wheelchair for me, yay! I realised that there WAS a limit with this character creation when I tried to create tiny molecule sized fleshy nanobots inside my own body, The problem was that I couldn''t control them if I did add them, they''d simply consume me I think. Sure I could maybe use enzymes or hormones to control them, but I cant and wont be bothered to do trial and error for something that may not even be that useful. I made my skulls thickness and density to insane levels, without looking like the bald guy who doesn''t want to work from one punch man. I also added more than one esophagus and trachea to my neck, incase someone slits my throat. And for that effect I also made sure that my arterys were fucking BUFF, I doubt you could penetrate my arteries even with a knife. The muscle around my arteries is so dense that it''ll probably feel really stiff. A small price to pay for no bleeding out. My arteries themselves are made out of a much stronger material, normal arteries are just incredibly weak to be honest, you could cut one open with just your nails. Speaking of nails¡­ I made sure that my nails would never, ever disconnect from my fingers, since that''s one of my worst fears in the world, getting your fingernails ripped off. That would utterly suck ass. So I made my nails out of the same material that teeth are made from, and made sure that they STUCK to my fingers. To my calculations it would take a rocket taking off to rip my nails off any of my fingers. Good.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. I might have made a mistake with my bones but I think the debuff is worth the gain, I first of all made my bones thick as fuck, but also made my bones to be a lot more hollow then normal people have. I have a reason for this I assure you. You see, bone marrow produces cells, these cells are called hemopoietic (which can produce blood cells) and stromal (which can produce fat, cartilage and bone). Soooooo, I think you see where I''m going with this. I filled my bones with as much stromal and hematopoietic stem cells as I possibly could, With this I''ll be able to have an arm chopped off and hopefully not bleed out, even if my arm is gone, simply because of the fact that I generate way more blood then I lose. Obviously I need to add some kind of limiter to the amount of blood that I generate, or else the pressure will destroy my veins. I remembered that things woven small are a lot stronger than big things. What that basically means is that a rope woven to the nanometer is dozens of times stronger than a normal rope. The only problem is that I can''t actually go down to the nanometer, the smallest I can go in this body creation mode is about a micrometer right now, which isn''t all that good but it''s enough. Knowing that, I made my skin into skin that''s woven into extremely tight rope, and put it onto my muscle. It looks completely like normal skin (A little more bumpy than normal skin) but it''s definitely stronger, I''m not sure how much stronger but I know it is. I could do the same to my muscles to give me a lot more contraction and pushing power but that might take weeks or months of time, I''m not sure if woven muscle would even work at all, so I''m not going to try. Since if it fails I would have wasted thousands of hours of time, and quite frankly I''m quite close to going insane already. There''s no music, no entertainment, the system won''t even talk to me. All I''m doing is working, and working and working. I don''t even need sleep, Hell. I can''t fucking sleep so I really need to get out of character creation ASAP, but on the other hand, there''s simply so much SO MUCH that I could do¡­ I''ll make a few more modifications to my body but that''s it, I can''t bear staying here any longer. Instead of having ribs, I made a solid wall of bone in my chest, I used the most flexible bone I could and made filled it with bone, I left hollow pockets to be filled with stem cells to even further my regeneration, but only made hollow pockets above non vital organs, Like kidneys, and whatnot. I gave myself 2 hearts. I know this might lead to a lot of problems but, suck my dick. I have 2 hearts now, both of them are made with cardiac muscle and I made sure to surround both hearts with bone (but enough space to allow my heart to beat, obviously) My hearts are actually next to each other, one on the left side of my chest and one on the right, they''re far enough apart that if one of them is destroyed I still have the other. I gave myself heterochromia eyes to try and up my charisma stat, my face is the definition of symmetric, my skin on my face is as fresh and soft as jade. I kind of look womanly, Honestly I''d fuck my self if I could. Wait, Can i? Uh, anyways¡­ My left eye is a silver color and the right one is Dark red, I heard that women think people with heterochromia are cute, it''s kinda weird to think that but I''ll take it. I made myself look about the age that I was when I died (18) but my face had a definite childishness on it which will make MILFS motherly senses tingle. My teeth are perfectly white and I''ve got cute little fuckin fangs bruh. I thought of adding a beard but it would ruin the aesthetic. Also I''ve got a feeling that I''m gonna go to a japanese world first, and beards are usually pretty rare in japan. So it would make me stand out even more than my eyes. I gave myself white hair (since I think that''s cool as shit) and if I''m gonna stand out with my eyes, why not stand out with my hair too? Am I right? Yeah I am. I already thought of several scenarios that I could do, that would look funny as shit. "Scenario no jutsu!" I''m in school, Men are looking at me with envy and women are cooing towards me, I''m in an oversized hoodie and it''s covering up my lean muscles, and my very defined six pack. It''s going to be physical education next class and I head to the sports hall. The teacher looks at me in concern and finger waves me over. "Ira-kun you don''t have to do physical education if you wouldn''t like" Kun? Mwahahaha the cute look is paying off already "W-why not Aimae-san?" I try my best frightened deer expression, I think she buys it. "We''re going to be doing kendo lessons and you might get hurt Ira-kun" She''s totally in the bag, I''ve got this down the drain. I rip my oversized hoodie off and show off my entire muscled body, All the women are cheering and Aimae is looking at me, stunned into silence. "HUH? YOU THINK I''LL GET HURT? I''LL FUCKING DESTROY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU" As I''m saying this I''m flexing my massive man muscles and everyone cheers, all the women are swooning and want this massive cock¡­ *Scenario ends* Oh god oh fuck I''m already going insane, I seriously need to get out of this place, that scenario was completly ridiculous, I''m also starting to hallucinate I think¡­ I''m leaving this place. These modifications are good enough, It''s not worth the risk to improve myself even more. I''d become even more insane if I spent a few more days here. Agreeing with myself I press the character creation done button, and my body glows with an ethereal white. I feel a sucking sensation and I know instinctively not to resist it. I close my spiritual eyes and go flying towards my now finished body. My first thoughts¡­ Weird. My muscles are so very dense that they feel like I''ve been working out for the past 3 hours. They''re not sore¡­ But they definitely feel very "tensed" for lack of a better word. I can''t test my eyesight since I don''t see anything in this place, but looking down at my now fleshy hands I can see¡­ I can SEE every. Single. Detail. Holy shit, You never realise how bad the human eyes are until you see THIS. I can see the utter perfection that are my hands, and I''m not saying that to brag, it literally is perfection. This might be a problem if something has the same eyesight that I do, You can''t see any faults, any callous or anything. I have fingerprints thankfully. So, eyesight of an eagle? Check. I can''t test anything else but I can feel that my spine is definitely studier than before. *Ping* *Character customisation complete, adding changes to archive.* *Eagle eyes. +35 Perception.

Do you wish to convert credits into STAT points? (This can only be done now.* Wow. That''s a lot to process. So first of all, I''m pretty OP right now. I think¡­ Well no actually that depends on the world I''m going to. Right now I''m basically an above average human. Non¡­ Human. I think a bullet would still kill me. How many stat points do I get for 7745 Credits? What even are they for? Obviously some kind of shop but are they hard to get? Lets think about it logically¡­ Completing a class to max twice is obviously my physicists class, It wasn''t overly difficult but took a few months to beat my physics teacher into submission (With knowledge) But at the same time the amount of kills and credits gained is the same, for 10 kills I got 500C which is 50 per kill, but for 50 Kills I got 2500C which is still 50c per kill. I thought I killed more people then that but whatever. My totally cool exit was only given 500C. So by all that I can conclude that getting C is not overly difficult, I''m assuming 7745 isn''t that many credits, and this is also apparently a once in a life time opportunity. "Hey great system of greatness, how many stat points do I get for 7745 credits? Please enlighten this stupid mortal" *Conversion rate of credits to STAT points is 1 STAT point for 150Credits. Do you wish to convert Credits into STAT points?* That''s way better than I thought, I could give myself a big boost right at the start, I think it''s worth it. But I''m only going to convert 7500 Credits into STAT points so I can access the shop in a state of emergency. "Convert 7500 cred- WAIT." "Open shop" *Shop is unavailable until first world. Do you wish to convert Credits into STAT points?* Sigh, I tried. Aw well. "Yes, convert 7500 Credits into STAT points please." *Acknowledged. +50STAT points. Please assign them Immediately* Greedy bastard, I''ll assign them. I think I''m gonna go mainly for a magic setup, I''ve got an overwhelming intelligence and wisdom advantage already, so I think it''s wise. And if someone gets close to me I can be like "Oh no! You got close to me. What ever will I do?" Then I''ll throw my robe off myself and my enemy will be like "AREN''T YOU A FUCKING MAGE?! WHAT IS THIS?" And I''ll be like " HAR HAR I AM A BODY BUILDING MAGE, BITCH!" It''ll be super fun. I swear it will. Then I''ll decapitate him. These are my stats after assigning all my stat points, I actually had 75 stat points to assign, I''m guessing you get 25 free stat points, Its like a sign up bonus or something to help get you started. All my stats except INT and WIS started at 10.

I considered min maxing into wisdom and INT but I decided that was really dumb, I have no information about where I''m going, No idea who I''m gonna be fighting, or anything like that. So¡­ yeah. Also, These gacha tokens are super cool, the only problem is that I can''t open them yet. *Flashback* "Open gacha token¡­ Please?* *Ping* *I''m sorry dave. I''m afraid I can''t do that. Gacha token is only available after entering first world." My eyes nearly popped out¡­ "God damn it system, stop developing a consciousness, I won''t be able to exploit you easily then, just stop you dickhead" *Flashback end* I thought I was gonna get a heart attack at that moment, but luckily I have 2 hearts so I wouldn''t die even If I did have a heart attack. Lucky me. Anyways, It''s time to first of all name my new race, that''s what the ? is, if you guys are wondering. And pick a class. I''m gonna go with a mage class, but I won''t be a generic mage I don''t think, those are overused and generic. If there''s a unique option I''m probably going to pick that, if not then I''ll just go with a generic mage and hope for the best. Maybe there''s a subclass system or something. "Name ? Race to Inhuman. I think it suits to be honest." *Ping* *? Race named to Inhumans race. Host has created a new race. Reward: Epic Gacha token.* Oh. I¡­ I didn''t expect that, Damn, If i knew that would happen I''d have tried to make that nanobot idea work, those would probably count as another race. "Give me the class selection screen please" *Ping* *Please select a class. [ROGUE] [MAGE] [SOLIDER] [KNIGHT] [TANK]* Ah, so it''s the generic I guess I have no choice, Rogue might work but I honestly don''t want to be an assassin or anything close to that anymore, It was pretty boring, and assassins wait a lot as well. For their targets and stuff. So mage it is. *Ping* *Class [MAGE] Selected. Please choose a subclass [Elemental] [Illusionist] [Empath] [Eromancer] [Necromancer] [Summoner] [Telekinetic] Wow, quite a lot of choices. Elemental and illusionist are out, those are pretty boring. Elemental can be quite OP but in a world with magic most people are probably able to use elemental magic. Illusionist is kinda useless, I don''t enjoy playing nice with other people so I''m gonna ignore that one since it''s a support role. Empath has no attacking spells, it''s more for infiltration, I think. Eromancer is very tempting, but it''s the same as Empath, I can''t attack people with it. I might be able to make women orgasm and then attack them while they''re frotting from the mouth but I don''t really want to be like the super villain orgasmo, you saw what happened to that guy. Necromancer and summoner are both great options, but in my professional opinion telekinetic outlaws all of these subclasses. There are simply too many applications to telekinesis which necromancy and summoner simply can''t do. But necromancy and summoner are both subclasses that I''m going to pick up if I can later on. *Ping* *Affirmative. Once you level a subclass to level 25, you may pick a new one and learn the spells according to the subclass you pick. Once you level two subclasses to level 25 you may pick a new primary class.* Oh, cool. With that my decision is final. Pick telekinetic. *Ping* *Picked subclass Telekinetic. Gained telekinesis. Gamer system adapts every magic spell or anything related to the supernatural into mana. E.g Naruto chakra jutsu will use mana. One piece haku will be mana. Telekinesis will use mana. * *Gained spell telekinesis (Beginner) level 1.* The ability to move objects with your mind. Level 1 applications: Lift 5KG of weight. Shitty control.

And one thing that I don''t find boring in life, Is most definitely fun. *Ping* *Acknowledged. Have fun, and remember. The game never ends.* *Starting game. +Gamers body. Effect:Allows the player to have a body becoming of a player. Allowing user to play reality like a game.* "Was wondering when I''d get that." Everything faded out of existence. And I found myself staring at a wall. A very dirty wall. Of an alley. Naked. This''ll be fun. In an alley, Naked. So, In an alley. Naked. If my thoughts are right then I''m probably in Kuoh somewhere. After all, nearly every MC that I know of is dropped into Kuoh. But they usually have clothes, they also usually start in a bed or something. Alright, let''s take stock of my situation. I''m naked, in an alley, in an unknown place (presumably Kuoh) and with presumably no parents, or guardians. Eh, I''ve been in worse situations so I think I''m actually pretty good right now. "Inventory" A smirk slides onto my face. As I had hoped I have an inventory. A big box that''s divided into 5 by 5 small boxes pops up right in front of my face. In the first box there''s a book of some sort, probably an introduction, or could be a skill book. I''ll check it out later, in the second box however is a set of clothes, which I desperately need right now to cover up my junk. It''s also winter or early spring, I think. Because I''m shivering a little. After putting on my clothes I feel much better, the clothes also suits me quite a lot. A shirt with a faded picture of naruto using the rasengan while in sage mode. And a zip up jacket made of leather. Probably made of leather. And a normal trouser, black, heavy duty trouser. My fashion sense isn''t the best but I think I look pretty cool. In my opinion. Next I check out the book, taking it out of my inventory I inspect the book spine, looking for a title. But there''s nothing there, the book is completely black, and made of leather. Aren''t gamers supposed to have some kind of "Inspect" or "Observe"? As soon as my thought finishes I see an information pop up in a blue box. It''s really bright too. I''ll need to change that somehow, it could be really distracting. *Ping* *Gamer has gained skill Inspect. Effect: Gives a detailed description of an object or enemy. The more it''s used, the more detailed descriptions will get.* Nice, I look at the book once more and cast inspect, and instantly another blue box pops up in front of my face, this time detailing what the book actually is. *Ping* *Skill book* Grants the skill ID create and ID escape. Grants the user the ability to create a sub-dimensional pocket in space, where the user can summon monsters to kill and loot. Current summon ID''s Available: Zombie Empty Ah, the ID create, of course. How could I be so forgetful? One of the most important skills in gamer history undoubtedly. Right now the sun is just setting, giving me about 8 hours to train. I don''t feel hungry or tired so I''m going to assume that I might not need to eat or sleep, but my sample size is limited to now and here, so I don''t know for sure whether or not I do need to eat and sleep. Most gamers don''t however, so I shall assume the same. I shall train for 8 hours and become god! MWAHAHAHAHA. Probably. Raising my hand into the air and looking really cool (probably) I shout out loud "ID CREATE!. Just kidding. That would probably give away the fact that I can do magic. What I actually do is walk towards the dead end of the alley and hide behind a dumpster, once I''m crouched down and hiding I whisper "Id create" I can instantly feel a tiny amount of mana draining from my body and entering the atmosphere. It feels weird, like a chill down your spine, and then leaving out through your ass. As soon as the spell ends I stand up and look around. No zombies in the alleyway which is good, I should''ve been more careful, what if there were dozens of zombies in the alleyway with me? I''d be fucked. Walking out of the grimy alley I look to the left and right street, I see some zombies on the right but none on the left. There are a bunch of parked cars on the street, near the curb. So I assume I really am in kuoh, rural villages wouldn''t be this packed with cars. Kuoh it is, does that mean that the angels and devils felt the short burst of magic in the air when I created this ID? Shit, I hadn''t thought of that. Lets just hope they''re shit at sensing magic. Lets hope. Anyways, I pick up a few sharp looking rocks that are under 5kg, which lets be honest, is most of them, Rocks that are heavier than 5kg are pretty rare in a city. I gather the rocks in my pockets and once I have the satisfactory number of 14 rocks, I grab 2 into my hands and walk towards the zombies."Inspect" *Enemy: Zombie detected* Name; Irrelevant Level; 4 Race; Undead Alignment; Chaotic-Evil Hp; 0 (Undead hp: 147) Mana; 0 SP; Infinite STR; 14 END; 7 DEX; 4 INT; 2 WIS; 1 A completely normal zombie, Used to be a human before dying, resentment energy kept the body here. But the soul left, leaving an unintelligent husk of a human. Strength is increased due to muscle limits being removed with no fear of damage, Endurance is reduced due to decomposition. Dexterity is lacking due to poor motor control. Cannon fodder. If you die to this thing you''re shit. +200XP If killed. "Hey there mr zombie. Would you like to chat about the weather?" I utilize telekinesis and feel a minor drain on my mana. The rock shoots from my hand with the force of a professional baseball thrower and¡­ Misses, Shit, My aim is absolutely shit. This is why you get 14 rocks kids, 14 rocks means 14 tries. The zombie hurdles towards me and I hear a metal banging sound to my left. In an alleyway between a house and a shop another zombie is trying to ambush me! Oh god, tactical retreat! Walking backwards slowly I professionally get out of the pincer attack and use telekinesis once again. This time the rock flies forward and strikes the zombie in the face, I quickly get another 2 rocks from my pockets and fling another rock towards zombie 2. Both of them go down and I think they''re dead, but I''m proven wrong when both of them get back up and begin lumbering towards me. Normally, people would stay on the ground and be crying in pain. I know from experience, but I suppose they don''t feel any pain since they''re dead. Using my sharpest rock I use telekinesis on it, and fling it towards zombie number 1. I realise that telekinesis is only using a tiny amount of mana, and I think I know why. I''m literally flinging the rock as if I was throwing it. I''m not actively controlling the flight path and supplying more power, so it loses its speed due to air friction and doesn''t do as much damage as it could, but it conversely saves mana too. Keeping that in mind I watch as zombie 1 stands back up and starts to stride towards me, I think it''s angry. I use telekinesis on both rocks at once and make an imaginary path in my head. Imagining the rocks flying from my hands and hitting the zombies both in the eye. And to my surprise it works, multi-tasking really isn''t that hard to be honest. Both zombies get penetrated and both go down, they''ll probably stay down this time. Probably, I was right, using telekinesis actively and just flinging the rocks uses different amounts of mana, but it has very different outcomes. This time the rocks were more accurate and also penetrated a lot deeper. Killing both zombies instantly. It also used up more mana but the mana used is still negligible. *Ping* *Congratulations, User has leveled up!* *+1 INT +1 WIS Due to Mage class* *+2 Credits* *Ping* *Telekinesis has leveled up X1!* *You can now lift up to 10KG of weight, and have slightly better control.* While I was reading the notifications a zombie snuck up on me, using my years of training I easily dodged the bite but I accidently bumped into a second zombie, forcing me to duck to avoid a swipe. The first zombie barreled into me and we both crashed onto the ground. I used telekinesis to "Punch" the zombie''s mouth away from my crotch and tried to use telekinesis for one of the best applications I can think of, I tried to directly crush the zombie''s brain. You know, like a smoothie, inside your own head. Sadly it didn''t work. *Unable to use telekinesis inside zombie. Your willpower has to be double your enemies to be able to override every being''s natural magic defence. Even beings who cannot use magic have it.* Shit, I quickly get up and run to a car, using the car as a temporary safe zone, both zombies are kinda just bumping into the car like retards. They don''t seem to have very good pathfinding, I nearly got bitten but I doubt these zombies are the virus ones. So even if I did get bitten I would''ve been fine. Probably. I quickly use telekinesis on another pair of rocks and finish off the zombies. I notice that the zombies quickly dissolve like the other zombies, but these ones left something behind¡­.Yen? Uh, I guess that makes sense? Both of the zombies left behind 10000 yen bills each. Cool. I put 20000 Yen in my inventory and an information tablet pops up. *Ping* *Great overlord system will explain to this dumb mortal. Zombies will sometimes leave behind objects that they had when they were alive. It was deemed that it would be too overpowered if it happens everytime, so therefore the chances are only 50%.* *User has leveled up* *+1 INT +1 WIS* *+2 Credits* *Telekinesis has leveled up X1!* *You can now lift up to 15KG of weight, and have slightly better control.* Oh, That''s pretty useful I suppose, easy money and all. Taking the bills I stuff them into my inventory and that''s when I notice that In the bottom right corner of my inventory are my gacha tokens. Oh, I forgot about those to be honest. I was busy killing zombies and being excited to be in the DXD universe. Let''s open those now then, I suppose. First of all I open the Epic gacha token, people who go from common to epic are dumb, or in my case rare to epic. That way the first object will raise your spirits and then when you get shitty items from the rare ones you''ll be like, "oh well atleast I got a nice epic." If you disagree with me, fuck you. But first of all I should probably get out of this ID. It''s pretty dangerous to be in a zombie filled ID and being distracted, afterall. I just wanted to get a feel for how hard it is to grind. I don''t wanna summon the boss just yet. "ID escape" I whisper and feel a tug on my mana, it leaves and the world shatters. Or it seems to shatter, then I''m back in the normal world, cars are driving around and people are walking around, I think I might be in some kind of red district since there are very skimpily dressed women around. I also realise that I probably popped up out of nowhere, but that''s fine since I was next to a car. People don''t pay attention to me and I skid my way towards a small alley. Now then, Let''s open those pesky gacha tokens. To my understanding the rarer a gacha token is the higher chance you have to get a rare item, but you can still get a common, the chances are just lower that you do. Like for example if you get a common gacha token then you could have a chance of 90% to get common, and like 0.1% chance to get epic, and all the inbetween. With an epic it''s the other way around. I assume. Don''t screw me over world. *Ping* *Epic Gascha token activated. Reward: Frozen Sun sacred gear. Effect: A combination of Genry¨±sai Shigekuni Yamamoto''s and T¨­shir¨­ Hitsugaya''s Zanpakut¨­. The ability to freeze the sun and incinerate a planet has been sealed inside this sacred gear. Artificial sacred gear, therefore there is no consciousness inside. Effects: Basic control and creation of both ice and fire. Opposing elements. Once you have greater control of this sacred gear you will be able to increase the heat of the flames. And coldness of ice. Balance breaker: The ability to go beyond the physical limit of the world. Achieve a state colder than -273.15 celsius degrees. And the ability to reach temperatures that rival the stars. (LOCKED) Lunar flare(LOCKED) *Side effect: Resistance to heat and cold.* *Immunity to the fire and ice generated by your sacred gear.* Uh, I thought I couldn''t use elements, since I''m not, y''know, an elemental mage? Or is that rule just conveniently forgotten right now? Not that I''m complaining, just kinda confused *The sacred gear allows you to use elemental magic, fire and ice respectively. It''s also not purely magic since it comes from a zanpakuto. Items allow you to use any kind of magic. E.g if you find a necklace which allows you to cast an illusion spell for mana, then you can use it even if you''re not an illusion mage. It''s the same with sacred gears.* Oh, that makes sense I guess. It''s not me actually using the magic, it''s the sacred gear, I''m just supplying the mana required, Like a living battery. I''m fine with a role of living battery (If it benefits me) I call out the sacred gear and I''m immediately star struck, It looks fucking great. No one else can see it other than me since I''m in a really small alley right now. The sacred gear itself looks like 2 gauntlets, one on each hand. It''s really sleek and metallic looking. Both gauntlets are split down the middle by a divider, on the left hand the right side is Ice blue, and the left side is Phoenix red. On the right hand it''s the opposite. Overall they look really cool. But right now they''re kind of useless since they can only control Ice and Fire and cant increase or decrease the temperature. I''ll train with it for sure later on but right now I''m going to focus on my telekinesis. And with that I put it back away. And with that I open my 2 rare gacha tokens. Let''s hope for the best. *Ping* Rare Gacha token activated. Reward: Gravity Magic. Error. Class =/= Elemental mage. Adapting. Please wait. Adaptation complete. Gravity magic has turned into Gravity affinity. Using telekinesis you have a much easier time altering the primordial force of gravity. Any "gravity" attacks that use telekinesis will have a much greater effect than it would otherwise. *Ping* *Rare gacha token activated. Reward: Shadow clone jutsu. Allows you to create clones of yourself, Once the clones dispel you retain all their memories. Divides your mana between clones.* Oh shit, that''s really useful, You cant really alter gravity with telekinesis to my knowledge but I suppose if I use telekinesis to make something heavier (Push down on something) or make something lighter (Pulling up on something) then It''ll have a much greater effect. It sucks that I lost gravity magic due to not being an elemental mage, but I gained something that I can use right here and now. Which is a great win in my books. Also, shadow clone jutsu!? That''s seriously overpowered if I play my cards right, I''m gonna seriously abuse that shit. I can probably only make 4 or 5 clones at a time due to only having so much mana, but that''s still 5 times as much progress. Thank you Gamer system! Deciding to try out my new spell I cast telekinesis and create a form fitting layer of telekinesis on top of my entire body. It''s like a fucking latex suit thats clinging onto me. And then I apply a constant amount of power upwards. And I start feeling weight being taken off my feet. And then my feet completely leaves the ground¡­ I thought I was only supposed to be able to lift 15KG worth of stuff? I weigh at least 120 due to all my bones and the density of my muscles. I know it said it would give me a boost if I used telekinesis for gravity related matters but this is a bit much, aint it? Well, I won''t look a gift horse in the mouth I suppose. Also, note to self, new thing to train. I need to learn how to fly, that shit''s too cool to not learn. Letting go of my telekinesis I feel all of my weight settle back on my foot. I''ve got a new objective figured out, for now. First of all I need to find out where In the series I am. Second of all I need to get some shelter, and then I''ll train my telekinesis and figure out if skill creation is a thing. The first objective is quite simple, I can just ask a random passerby date it is, some people might find this weird but there''s no reason for someone to think anything strange of it. With that in mind I set foot out of the alley. Instantly I see cars driving around and people walking through the streets. I need to find someone who doesn''t look busy or isn''t looking for "customers" Looking around with my extremely sharp vision I spot a woman around the age of 30 in relatively normal clothes, she''s nothing special and if I was forced to assume I''d say she''s a completely normal person, lucky I don''t have to assume anything. "Inspect" *Human detected* Name; Sakimoto Sanako Level; 3 Class:Office worker Sex: Female Race; Human Alignment; Lawful-Neutral Hp; 168 Mana;(Locked) SP; Infinite STR; 7The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. END; 8 DEX; 9 INT; 11 WIS; 11 CHR:8 Thoughts about you: Doesn''t know you exist A completely normal human being. She has no real impact on society or the world around her. She works, eats, shits, goes to sleep and repeats. The cannon fodder of society. She''s in a suit that''s made for women, has a ponytail and is average at pretty much everything, below average even. Her bustline is a C (I think) and she probably has a husband. She''s the perfect target, my beautiful face will distract her and she''ll answer my question, then before she even realises it i''ll be gone. Walking up to her I deliberately make my footsteps loud so that she doesn''t freak out, "Excuse me Miss, I''m Ira, and I was just wondering if you knew the date, I''ve been quite busy lately with work so I''ve forgotten what month it is." Crap, what kind of fucking excuse is "oh i forgot what fucking month it is" thats retarded, I''m retarded as fuck. Let''s hope my charisma does some work She seems stunned for a minute but her eyes quickly shift to my face, and it shifts from my face to my attire, I probably look like a thug now that I think about it. I''m about 3 inches taller than her. So I''m probably quite scary, especially at night time. "Oh, Hello Ira-san, I''m Sakimoto, it''s nice to meet you" She says with a smile and then bows, I bow back but inside I''m contemplating murdering her for wasting my time. "How can you not know the month? That''s really something, It''s the 4th of february. What are you doing out so late at night? Don''t you know that there''s a curfew?" A fucking what now? Why the fuck are YOU out so late at night if there''s a curfew you cunt. Anyways, the 4th of february, DXD lore starts at around early april when school starts for the japanese, so I''ve got a full 2 months to train for the canon. Great, that''s plenty of time for me, especially with my clones. Lets try and extract more information from this cunt "A curfew? How so? I don''t live in this part of town so I don''t really know of any curfews, did something bad happen recently?" I ask with a curious look on my face, I really don''t remember a curfew ever being put in place in DXD, but maybe there has been one put into place before canon, and I just don''t know about it? Always hated curfews. "Oh, you don''t know of the murders going on? Teenage boys that are outside after 10 are getting murdered by some sick person. They''re usually found in alleyways with, some rather explicit things done to them" Oh? This is getting me curious now, explicit? "Explicit, as in?" I ask with another curious look on my face, I wanna know if they''re chopped into pieces of if they''re getting raped in the ass before being murdered, or after. "I don''t think I should say, It''s really not appropriate, It''s been nice meeting you Ira-san but I should get going, don''t stay out too late." She says with a grimace and turns around and walks away, Dont leave me hanging you fucking cunt. I contemplate using telekinesis to pull her panties down instead of murdering her but it''s not worth the risk. One day I will have revenge for leaving me hanging. Cunt. "Oh, alright, See you Sakimoto-san" I say dejectedly, she predictably keeps walking, not even giving any acknowledgement. I thought I had 21 CHA? What happened to that? Also, why did she not even seem to think that my white hair is weird? Actually nevermind, I think I know the answer to that. Rias gremory and Koneko are probably known throughout the town, they''ve both got weird coloured hair so I assume she just thought I was a weirdo like them. Aight, cool. Next objective, shelter. I don''t really need shelter if I don''t need to sleep but I''d still like to rest a little, I''ve only been out of the void for an hour so I''d like to rest a little. None of the houses are abandoned since there''s a car outside nearly all of them, and the houses that don''t have a car have their lights turned on, so no abandoned houses. But I don''t need them abandoned after all. Walking into a nearby alley I whisper "ID create, empty" and I enter the zone. Walking out onto the street I notice that everyone is gone, good. I walk up to the door of a random building and open the door. It''s locked, So I kick the door down and I''m happy to say that the door breaks down effortlessly. Walking up the stairs I check every room and once I find the master bedroom I settle down into bed. Nice and comfy bed. Waking up 7 hours later I stretch my body and get off the bed. That was a nice rest, and it confirms my theory of not needing to sleep. I still went to sleep but I didn''t feel the need to sleep at all. As soon as I thought "Go to sleep, me" My brain instantly shut down, which isn''t normal but it works. So I''m gonna assume that "sleeping" is more like the wait function in skyrim. Leaving the house I walk around town, randomly. I''m trying to map the place in my head so I know where everything is. I found Kuoh academia and Kuoh park, which Is where I''ll be training for the time being. But first I map out the entire town, afterwards I''ll train. *2 Hours later* The entire town is mapped out, In the anime it seems tiny, but in real life it''s actually fucking massive, seriously, the academia itself is like 14 football fields big. It''s insane. I decided to train since I still wasn''t feeling hungry, or even peckish. I walked into Kuoh park and went straight into the small forest, away from any paths. Even If I''m in an ID, I can still never be too careful. I decide to be overly cautious instead of reckless, it helps. I summon a single shadow clone at first, and feel half of my mana drain instantly. That seems about right. A ploom of smoke pops up in front of me and an identical me stands in front of me. I stare longingly into his eyes and he stares into mine, I reach for his right cheek with my hand, and I lovingly punch the shit out of it. Instantly he disappears and memories flood into my head, It''s not painful but it''s disorientating as fuck. I see myself look into my eyes and thinking "what the fuck am I gay?" And then getting punched in the face, and nothing after that. It definitely works, and I even get my own insights into thinks, my own thoughts from my clones, that definitely helps me. Alot. I also got all my mana back, which is nice. It seems like shadow clones are just physical mana constructs, and as soon as they lose their shape the mana floods back to me. Interesting. Summoning 5 clones I lose most of my mana, and have 1/5th left of the original, I''m still not dead so that''s good. I wonder at what point I die. The system doesn''t reply, it was worth a shot I guess. "Alright, all of you get to meditating. Once you gain the skill and 5 levels of xp worth, dispel. One at a time." Once I said that they all nod and sit on the ground with their legs crossed, I feel kind of left out actually. Is that weird? So I sit on the ground as well and try to find my mana. I eventually fall into a trance and I''m back in the void, but it''s not the same void, this void feels a lot warmer and for lack of a better word safer. I look around and realize I can float around the place, I see something shiny in the distance so I float towards it. Once I''m close I can see that it''s a sphere of blue liquid. I touch the sphere and I get a light shock. Brining me out of my meditation. *Ping* Piled up notifications received. *Mana sensing (Inner) unlocked 0/50, Mana manipulation unlocked 0/50, Meditation unlocked. 0/100* *Mana sensing (Inner) : You can feel mana inside you, this is the first step in mana manipulation. * *Mana manipulation : You can move mana around your body, and bring it out of your body to shape into spells*. *Meditation : While in a trance Hp, Sp and Mana regenerate a % faster then normal.* *+25 Levels in Mana sensing (Inner), Mana Manipulation, Meditiation.)

Meditation 25/100 Unlocked. 25% faster regeneration of Hp,MP and SP while in the meditative trance. As I said, shadow clones are overpowered as fuck. I can clearly feel that I have all my mana returned to me, so that means all my clones have returned. But doesn''t telekinesis use mana as well? How was I able to use telekinesis when I wasn''t able to use mana before? I''m guessing that the system has something to do with it, Spells probably guide mana without conscious effort. So going by that logic I should be a lot better with using telekinesis now, probably. I decide to try and get mana sensing (outer) so that I can feel if someone is spying on me, All living beings exclude mana from their bodies and I also need mana sensing so that I can use telekinesis with better control, you''ll know why soon. I know from gamer stories, which also means that I need to learn how to cover mine up, or retract it into my body somehow. I have quite a bit of mana, more then the average human so If I meet any devils they''re gonna be suspicious as fuck. Creating 8 clones this time (I''m gonna experiment to see how much is lethal) I feel a tiny amount of mana remaining inside me, I''m not sure how much mana a mana construct needs to stay "alive" but it''s definitely less than 200. I can make even more clones I think. I never really understood why people in the naruto verse said that shadow clones were dangerous, you don''t DIE from having your chakra divided into 1/32, right? You still have some chakra? You always WILL have chakra, 1000 divided by 1/1000 is still 1. Do people in the naruto universe need a set amount of chakra to live? I doubt it, it was just used as an easy excuse as to why no one else can use the shadow clone jutsu. So I doubt I can actually die from creating too many clones, but I CAN die from memory overload, so I''m gonna experiment with how many is safe to save my brain from being melted. "Alright, listen up. Pair up in groups of 2 and use mana manipulation to leak mana into the air around you, take turns in trying to sense the mana around each other. Don''t lose focus and don''t fuck each other. I''ll do that later, as¡­ experimentation." All the clones nod and they all group up with someone, I just realised that I made an even number of clones so I''m left all alone again, god fucking damn it. Sitting on the ground I enter a meditative trance once again, I''ll just grind meditation then, I don''t need friends. I''m not lonely, don''t mind me. I fall back into a trance and I''m in the void again. I wonder if I can talk to the system in here, only one way to know. Hey system, is skill creation possible? *Ping* *Skill creation has been limited due to a certain someone. Skills will be given by the system for doing certain actions. E.g Using telekinesis to hover above the ground.* *Ping* *Skill awarded. Flight 4/50. Using telekinesis you lifted yourself off the ground and didn''t fall back down in a blaze of glory. As long as you have mana you can use telekinesis to fly. Uses 15 mana/second. Every level flying becomes easier for you. Why did I only get the skill now? Did the system forget before or something? Should I be mad about this? Whatever, so there''s a type of filter on skill creation, I suppose. But what happens if I do something with mana and it doesn''t get recognized by the system but it still works how I intended it to? *Ping* *That will not happen. Every action is monitored and recorded in archives. If a skill is not recognized by the system then a new skill will be created. However, as you have little to no knowledge of how magic works, how spells are shaped, and how spells are created, It is impossible for you to make a spell with mana. He sounds pretty cocky, Really fucking cocky actually. I might as well spend my time well while in this trance, my thoughts seem a lot clearer here than outside. I''m gonna need a plan to deal with all 3 factions, once I become overpowered they''ll probably think I''m a threat that needs to be subdued, like the dragons. All dragons that are known have been subdued or roped into a faction in one way or another in canon, I''m a human (mostly) and they''ll probably assume they''re better than me and try to force me to come under them. I won''t ever become someone''s servant or slave. I can get an easy favour with Sirzechs by getting hired by Rias as an outsider for her peerage game and getting her out of marriage, he seems sort of honorable. Azazel just wants to research sacred gears, and the angels can be threatened with releasing the fact that god is dead. But that might not work since who would believe me without any proof? I can get an easy favour with serafall by getting her closer to her sister, ajuka is very much the same as azazel, except with less morals, and Falbium Asmodeus,is an unknown. All I know about him is that he''s a lazy bald cunt. Maybe a hair implant will gain his favour? The next question is whether I let issei live or not, we all know he has massive plot armor in the form of boobs, the guy literally unlocks juggernaut drive over a lost pair of boobs, it''s fucking ridiculous. I don''t think he can compare to an ultimate class devil even at the end of the current anime, sirzechs has a second form which makes him basically destruction incarnate, however, one of his biggest weaknesses is that he doesn''t destroy the air around him, we know this because if he did, then there would be a vacuum around him, and in the anime there isn''t. This world might work differently but we can exploit the fact that he doesn''t destroy air around him. He probably doesn''t destroy the air around him because of a need, the need to breath. Devils have a higher lung capacity than humans but they still need to breath, so that''s one weakness of his. Another weakness that''s glaringly obvious is the fact that his little sister is weak as shit. I could kidnap her and use her as a hostage if things ever go south. The only other weakness I know about which may be exploitable is the fact that he''s made completely out of destruction in his second form, but he still needs to breath, which suggests that he''s still affected by natural law. I think you know where I''m going with this. I doubt that mana gets destroyed by him either. Attacks probably do get destroyed but that is conscious, and seeable. He probably doesn''t destroy ambient mana since it''s not visible. I don''t know for sure but I think I might be able to use telekinesis on him and since my gravity related matters are multiplied by at least 10, I can use that to my advantage. I can hold him down or maybe even kill him with it. I also need some escape items in case my plans fail. I think I''ve got two choices, I can kill issei and be done with it before he joins rias''s peerage, or I can become friends with him. We share some common interests after all, but unlike him I actually dare act upon them. I can get escape items from gacha''s or from the shop. Getting credits seem to rely on killing things, I haven''t visited the shop yet so I''ve got no idea if shit can be sold. That can all be dealt with later, for now I''m training telekinesis. Waking up from my trance I notice that all the clones are gone, all their memories are already in my head but I hadn''t noticed due to being in a trance. I''ve been in a trance for about 4 hours and the clones dispelled just 20minutes ago. *Ping* *Mana manipulation has leveled up! X43 50/50* *Mana manipulation has reached max level, Upgrading skill.* *Mana manipulation 18/100. You can control mana as if it was an arm or a leg, you can control it outside and inside your body very well, the distance at which you can control mana outside = Total skill level. (68Meters) If your mana manipulation skill, intelligence and wisdom are higher than someone else''s then you are able to wrestle control of mana outside someone''s body. If your mana manipulation skill is higher then someone else''s but their intelligence and wisdom dwarfs yours then you are able to disrupt their mana flow for spells, but cannot take complete control of their mana. Others may be able to do the same to you. *Ping* *Mana sensing (outer) has been unlocked.* *Mana sensing (outer) has leveled up! X57* *Mana sensing (outer) has reached max level. Upgrading.* *Mana sensing (outer) 7/100* *Mana sensing allows user to sense mana around his vicinity and examine the type of mana from the source, some beings can hide their mana signature so this is not a fool-proof skill. Mana sensing range = total level of mana sensing.(57M) Alright, that''s good enough for now, I''m gonna take a small risk and summon a shit ton of clones this time, I doubt I''ll die from mana exhaustion or anything like that, the only thing that might kill me is the memories. But if I go slowly I should be good. I don''t have an insane healing factor like naruto but what I do have is Gamers body and Gamers mind. Both of which should help me with not dying, hopefully. My brain also has wider neural canals and is more dense than normal humans, so I can take in a lot more information without frying my brain. Let''s do this. If it works I''ll be able to train super efficiently. I summon 40 clones this time, dividing my mana into 40 separate pieces. And I can barely feel my remaining mana even with my amazing mana sensing skill, but so far, so good. I''m not dead from mana exhaustion so I know that dying from something like that is unlikely now. "Okay, You''re all me so you should know the drill, But I''m gonna explain it anyway just so you don''t fuck up. Cuz if you do I''d only be able to blame myself. So, Go out into the forest and pick up pebbles. Start by levitating 1 pebble around your body, through your legs, around your head, whatever, just make sure that the pebble isn''t in a pattern, make it random as possible and don''t fall into a pattern. If you do I''ll fuck you in the ass without lube. Next do 2 pebbles, and make them orbit around your body randomly, make the 2 pebbles come into near misses, do stunts with them, but once again, no patterns. If you fall into a pattern then it''s not gonna be multitasking, since you''re not focusing on multitasking actively. That''s as far as you should go for now since you''ve all only got 39 points of mana, the pebbles won''t weigh anything so it won''t be too costly in mana, Do this until you run out of mana and then dispel. Understood?" They all nod and run into the forest, I predict that the mana is gonna last 2 hours at most, The telekinesis spell didn''t say how much mana it uses but based on my observations I can say safely that it depends on high heavy an object is and if you''re constantly applying power to it. The pebbles don''t weigh anything, a few grams at max, but they''re applying power to it constantly to keep it orbiting in the air, and they''re constantly fighting gravity and air friction, so it uses up a little bit of power, but not too much. Hence 2 hours. The reason I told them to stop at 2 pebbles was because it would take too much effort to do 3 without the memories and experience of doing 2, and because it would cut down the 2 hours to 1 and a half. I think it''s worth more to me to do 2 pebbles well for 2 hours instead of 3 pebbles badly for 1 and a half. So now I''m in another dilemma, I''ve got 2 hours to waste and nothing to do. Actually, scratch that. I need to find a way to hide my magical aura, reentering a meditative state. I start thinking about how I''m gonna do this. I''ve read people do it in fanfiction and watched bleach, they described it pretty well and I assume soul power is the same as mana. Hiding my aura all points to one thing, taking the mana that you exclude naturally, and sealing it off, or taking it back into your body, or pulling it around you tightly, it all focuses on trying to get it back after it escapes, Which is kinda dumb, since that could damage you, imagine a big pot (Your body) and imagine water inside that pot (Mana), now imagine the aura that we''re talking about being steam, your body produces heat and evaporates the water. Thereby making steam, this steam escapes through the top of the pot, which is not sealed, (mana leaving the body) However, what people do is put a lid on the top, and then duct taping it and putting super glue around the lid. What''s going to happen to the pot? Obviously in real life it would overflow, but what if it was a special kind of pot that was fully sealed and won''t allow overflow? It fucking explodes in a rain of death and suffering. People who describe this process don''t really pay attention to this point, and their method just kinda works, but if you think about it, how? And where does all the steam go? What I want to try, is stopping the steam altogether from even being made in the first place, I''m not sure why magic is expelled naturally from the body. But I''ve got a small suspicion that it''s the mana that you produce that can''t be contained by your mana pool. It makes sense if you think about it. So what I''m hoping to do is someone set a limiter to stop mana being produced once my mana pools are full, if that doesn''t work then I''ll just try the method that bleach has, and various fanfictions using mana. But I don''t think it''s safe. Anyways, inside my black void, I go upto the sphere of mana, which is completely full, This makes sense since my mana pool was divided by 40, it didn''t actually use my mana, it TOOK it, literally. So I''ve got a pool of 39 as well. Can my clones regenerate mana? I kinda doubt they can, so my 780 mana regen per minute sticks with me, I think. Which is really quite a lot by the way. I can fill my entire pool in 2 minutes, insane. Anyways, theres a way to test this. Coming out of my meditative state I look for the closest tree to me and use telekinesis on it, and LIFT. The tree creaks and cracks but holds its ground. My entire mana pool gets disintegrated but is topped back up within 3 seconds. So yes, My mana regen sticks with me. If my clones could regen mana that would be the most overpowered thing ever, holy shit. I head back inside my own mind and begin thinking of a good way to stop steam being produced, It all has to do with the mind, I think. It''s kind of like subconsciously doing something, your heart beating for example, you don''t control it but you can IN THEORY. No one has actually done it but no one can prove that you cant either, so what I''m trying to say is that if somehow I can imagine the mana stop being produced once my mana pool is full, then I can stop mana leaking out of my mana pool. Since there isn''t anything to leak. But it''s not as simple as just being like, "Hey, mana could you stop being produced when my mana pool is full? Thanks"... Is it? *Ability unlocked* *You''ve discovered the reason all living beings emit mana subconsciously. You''ve also found out how to stop it, congrats!* *You no longer release mana, beings who can use sense mana won''t be able to tell that you''re there, unless they''re a grand master of mana sensing and can sense the mana inside of you, but the amount of people who can do that is very limited.* ¡­ It was seriously that easy? I did all that thinking, theory, and resolving myself for hundreds of failures for nothing? Sigh¡­ Thanks system. I thought it would take me hours upon hours but it only took an hour at most. This is just awesome, thanks a lot. Now I''ve gotta find something else to do. I can''t train against zombies with only 39 mana, even if my regen tops it up instantly, it''s still too much of a risk for me¡­ I guess I''ll just grind meditation. *1Hour later* *Ping* *Meditation has leveled up! X1* *Meditation 26/100 Gives a 26% boost to All regen when meditating.* Doing this with clones is so much easier, holy shit, I''m really grateful for the shadow clone jutsu now, It''s probably even better then the sacred gear. Honestly. 2 hours of meditation and only 1 level, it''s also only gonna get worse, who knows how much time it would take me to level meditation fully, alone. It would probably take months of grinding to get 100, I wonder if I can go past 100, it seems likely since shit gets upgraded at 50/50, so why not 100/100? Anyways, that''s not important for now. I skim through the memories of my clones and see that all 40 have achieved 2 pebbles being orbited around the body in random ways. 80 hours of work in 2 hours, thats fucking amazing. *Ping* *You have gained a new skill : Multitasking 0/10* *Multitasking allows you to pseudo-split your mind so that you can focus on more than one thing at once. Amount of times you can split your mind = Level of Skill.* MAX LEVEL IS 10. SKILL CANNOT BE UPGRADED. *Multitasking has leveled up X1* *You can split your mind into 2. Each can focus on completely different things.* *Telekinesis has leveled up X36* *Telekinesis 25/25. Max level reached, Upgrading telekinesis.* *Telekinesis 14/100. Current max weight = 195KG. Fine control.* Multitasking is op as shit, it''s the first time I''ve seen a skill have a legit max level, but I supposed it makes sense. It also only got upgraded once in 80 hours, so that proves my point, The system doesn''t want me to abuse multitasking. I can''t think of any ways to get past the max limit right now, but there has to be a way. If there''s not, I''ll find other ways to exploit multitasking. I haven''t tested how much power my new body can exert, but I don''t think it''s more than 195KG. There''s a perfectly good way to test that however. Walking up to a tree I surround it with my arms and try to crush it in a bear hug, The tree gets completely crushed. And topped over in the opposite direction of me, luckily. I''m surprised, I''m not sure how much force is required to crush a tree but based on the diameter and type of wood that I just crushed it''s definitely more than 195KG. I definitely underestimated how strong I am. I wonder if it''s the same with endurance as well? I pick up a rock and brace myself for pain, Lifting the rock up in the air and bashing it against my hand I''m surprised once more to feel only a small pain on my skin. And the rock getting cracked in half. The rock barely managed to scrape my skin and I''m bleeding a tiny bit. But in record time my cut heals and I''m left with a wide grin. I decide that this requires further testing, but right now I don''t exactly have anything that can withstand my hand. I''ll need to get a knife from somewhere. I doubt I can survive a bullet to the head though. By the time that I finish testing with my rock It''s already pretty late, It''s actually only late afternoon but getting so many hours of memory in one day has left me feeling tired and sluggish, Perhaps I do need sleep after all? Maybe due to my endurance I won''t DIE from sleep, but It''ll leave me sluggish and in a cranky mood. I think that might be the case, I haven''t slept in well over a week (Of memories) and yet I''m not dead. So I think that''s the case. "ID EXIT" Exiting the ID I instantly go back in, In some games if you''re in one area for too long it glitches out and becomes unstable, I wanted a fresh ID just in case. Heading back to "My" house I kick the door down once again and head to sleep. Tomorrow is the day of true training. Now is sleep times. Training! I woke up in "my" house, and instantly noticed that my pounding headache was completely gone. Checking the alarm clock on "my" bedside table I see that It''s 6:23am¡­ I can''t even sleep in? What the fuck, how and why am I awake at 6:23? That''s actually just¡­ Sigh, whatever. I can''t even anymore. Walking to "my" bathroom I see 3sets of toothbrushes, one pink, one blue and one black. And that reminds me that I haven''t actually seen the occupants of this house of mine yet. I also haven''t taken a piss¡­ Or a shit¡­ For about 2 days. Is that healthy? I''m fine, right? What time do most people wake up? They wake up at around 8 or 9 right? Knowing this I decide to take a risk, since I haven''t been taking many since coming here. Walking out of the bathroom I walk back into the master bedroom and walk into the corner, I exit the ID and immediately the world shatters into existence. I was right! These people aren''t even awake. It''s a male/female duo on the master bed but the female has her face covered by the quilt, her face is on the male''s chest. I can see the male''s face sleeping peacefully and he looks like a generic japanese guy, not sure what I expected. And I don''t care about the male anyways. Using telekinesis to move the quilt ever so slowly, my efforts are awarded, the female sleeping on top of the male is a solid 7/10. How did this guy ever get her? The fuck? "Inspect" Current stats Name;Yoneda Kaede Level; 3 Class; Stripclub dancer Race; Human: 97% ?: (3%) Alignment; Lawful-neutral Hp; 147 REGEN = 7/ 5minutes Mana; 70 REGEN = 21/ 5minutes SP; 140 REGEN = 70/60seconds STR; 8 END; 7 DEX; 12 INT; 7 Wis; 7 CHA; 14 LCK; 10 [HP=END X 21] [HP REGEN=END X 1] Every 5 minutes [MANA=INT X 10] [MANA REGEN=WIS X 3] Every 5 minutes [SP=END X 20] [SP REGEN= END X 10] Every 60seconds *Ping* *Humans without the gamer system do not get to enjoy the perks of having one* Oh, that makes a lot of sense. If a human''s regeneration was END X 10 then it wouldn''t take someone a week or two to heal from a small cut. Well alright, that''s all I needed to know. Hopping back into an empty ID I stroll into the backroom and pick up the pink toothbrush "Inspect" You can''t be too careful. *Ping* *A pink toothbrush used to get rid of bacteria on the teeth.* *Dna samples on bristles: Yoneda Kaede* Okay, now I know for certain. I apply toothpaste onto the toothbrush generously and start brushing, the reason I''m doing this is mainly because it''s kinda funny but I''m also kind of a virgin. Don''t get me wrong, I was a 9/10 in my previous world but I simply didn''t find romance all that entertaining, "oh Ira, bring me to the movies, buy me this dress! Lets go to a restaurant! Let''s walk around town while just talking" And I couldn''t ever be bothered to hire a prostitute. Another reason I''m a virgin is because teenage females are too unpredictable. Their hormones interfere with everything and anything. I''m not making excuses for being a virgin, I''m just saying. And this is an indirect kiss! Can you believe it! SO DIRTY, I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING WHORE! *Cough* Oops, my mental rambling has led me to swallow some toothpaste, time to get back to grinding and stuffs. Spitting out my spit I gargle water and spit that out too. But¡­ before getting back to training¡­ "ID exit" The world shatters around me, The toothbrush that I was holding is gone, that confirms another theory, everything in the ID is just "fake" I suppose. It all disappears once you re-enter the real world. Grabbing the pink toothbrush once again I unzip my trousers and take out my cock, I very obviously modified the length of my dick, like every good, self respecting male would do. It''s now 9 Inches long. Taking the toothbrush I rub the bristles all over my dick. I also rub it on my ballsacks. This is a gift from a god supreme to mortals for "letting" me stay in their house. They should be excited. And thankful. Putting the toothbrush back in its original place I re-enter an empty ID. While I was resting I was contemplating why there are no quests, this is a game right? So there should logically be quests. But so far I haven''t even seen a peep of one. *Ping* *Quest diary unlocked! Took you a while.* *Allows you to complete quests issued by the system for a reward.* *Quest added!* *Dragonling hunter* *Kill Issei before he becomes the boob dragon, and embarasses dragonkind for the next 1000 years. This is a favour to ddraig, one that he doesn''t know yet.* *Reward: 1 Rare gacha token OR 5 common gacha tokens.* *Secret extra optional step: ?* *Reward: ?* *Secret optional step 2: ?* *Reward: ?* Ah, Issei. I originally wasn''t gonna kill him¡­ but with those rewards? I''m sorry Issei (not really) but your fate was decided as soon as you began to exist. Don''t worry I''m not turning into neji tho. Welp, Guess I''m killing the my first human in this world. And it''s the main character, extra points!? *Ping* *Quest system has unlocked perk system!* *50 Intelligence perk unlocked!* *You have an easier time understanding mechanical constructs, which is basically anything, and everything that is physical.* +300C *50 Wisdom perk unlocked!* *You regenerate mana 25% faster, permanently!* +300C Oh, perks. I completely forgot those even existed in Gamer fics. It even gave me credits, which I immediately have a use for. I looked through the shop while I was "sleeping" and found a shit ton of powers and items, the only problem is¡­ *Basic fireball: 15000C* *Throws an elemental fireball of fire, that explodes upon contact of an enemy. Damage based on mana input.* So that''s like¡­. Really expensive, but not as expensive as this *Rinnegan: 651000000000000000000000^29C* Allows use of the rinnegan eye dojutsu. (Eyes sold in singles) So I''m basically never gonna get that. Ever. It seems like any kind of attack spell or defence spell, and items too. Are expensive beyond belief. But, since the system is basically a child, it didn''t think of the applications of miscellaneous items. Like so, *X Ray lvl1: 750C* *Allows the user to see beneath clothes and skin.* This is arguably more valuable than a shitty fireball, but it''s cheaper? How does that work? It''s because the system IS literally a child, it doesn''t know any better. It bases prices off of practicality (that it can think of) and the attack power or defence power. This is the systems line of thought "Xray. can see through things. Cannot attack things. Cannot defend against attacks. Just eyeball enhancement. Useless. Low price." It literally is like an AI. It can''t think outside the box, and I intend to exploit that. I bought the x ray and set off into Kuoh town. It''s time to kill Issei, I''ve decided on not taking his boosted gear, mainly because of the fact that I don''t have any easy methods to do so, and also because of the fact that I doubt Ddraig would cooperate with me if I killed his host. If I did take his boosted gear the cons outweigh the pros. I''d be sealing a deadly dragon inside myself, who probably would enjoy murdering me, I''d have to fight the white dragon emperor, and I''d be a even bigger of a target for recruitment and slavery than I am currently. It just isn''t worth it. It was pretty easy to find Issei''s house, I used the four cardinal directions and Kuoh academy as a reference. Issei lives relatively close to Kuoh park, as well so it really wasn''t difficult. Upon seeing Issei''s house I''m surprised by how big it is. This massive pervert got pretty lucky in life. I never got why the school didn''t suspend the 3 perverts, or punish them at all¡­ or even just block up the peeping hole in the closet. The kendo girls said that it wasn''t the first time that they peeped, so why not block off the hole? Probably plot convenience. Issei''s house is a two story detached house, he even has a few trees in the front yard. (The front yard is tiny) I walk up to the gate and unlock it, stepping into his property. I walk up to the front door and rip the door off the hinges. I walk up the stairs and find Issei''s bedroom. I exit the ID once I''m inside and close the door, the hinges squeak a little but it''s nearly unnoticeable. He''s sleeping on his back with the covers nearly completely flung off of his stomach. "Sorry, not really, I''ll make sure to treat Rias and all the other girls well" I say with a sneer on my face. Here''s to my first kill in this world. I''ll make it relatively painless since he hasn''t done anything that goes against me. He just so happened to get picked by the system to become a stepping stone for me towards becoming a god.

Coward harem king: Desires a harem, however doesn''t dare act on his own lust. Plot Armor: Is naturally protected by the universe as a main character, Provides power ups during confrontations and times of need. The main character of Highschool dxd. An A-grade pervert and coward. Due to being main character, gives more than normal XP for his level. +8100XP I turn on X-Ray and I see past his clothes, He''s pretty well en-downed at least. I can respect that. I look at his neck and find all the carotid arteries inside his neck. I use telekinesis and easily overpower his will. I use telekinesis to grab at all his vital arteries bringing blood to his brain and I Squeeze. His eyes fly open in panic and his face begins to turn red, He tries to call out in pain but I use telekinesis to crush his throat. I did say I''d make it relatively painless. But I can''t have you waking others up, now can I? He looks at me with tear stricken eyes and obvious fear. I almost feel bad for killing him. Just kidding. He tries his best to get up and lunge at me, even while confused and panicked he still has good instincts. That''s admirable, but not enough. Using telekinesis I grab his frail limbs and fling him to the bed. Holding him against the soft cushion until death arrives. After 20 seconds of struggle he finally goes limp, but I still pinch his arteries closed to make sure that he''s dead. *Ping* *8100XP aquired! Level up X8!* *+8INT +8WIS Due to mage class!* *Telekinesis has leveled up! X4!* *Telekinesis 22/100. Max weight = 215KG. Fine control.* And there he goes, into the ether. I don''t want police investigations to show up anything so I put his body into my inventory. He takes up 2 spaces alongside each other. I wonder if I can put living beings into my inventory? *Ping* *System can answer that question for mortal. There is a limit to 1 willing living being being stored inside inventory at a time. Praise the system.* Ah, Yes system, thank you so much you benevolent and kind god. *Ping* *Praise satisfactory. Do you wish to complete the quest now and receive rewards?* No, I''ll complete it when I leave the house, there are 2 other secret steps that I wanna complete, I have no clue what it is but the more time that I spend on the quest, the higher chance that it gets complete. Now, One thing that I learned from assassination is that you never leave witnesses, that''s how I died in my first world after all. I killed that guy''s elder sister and he came after me. So I''m "forced" to kill his parents. I might have to kill irina as well, but that''s later down the line, I''m not sure if magic can be used to figure out who killed someone at a crime scene, but I wouldn''t be surprised if there is. This is highschool DXD after all where magic can tear the clothes of a woman off. I can do the same with telekinesis tho can''t it? Note to self, test later. Walking through the hallway of Issei''s house I arrive at the door of his parents room. It''s locked and I don''t know if the hinge is well oiled or not, so I enter an empty ID and walk into the room. I exit the ID once I''m inside and I see Issei''s parents sleeping on a bed. Something that I hadn''t expected when walking into this room was that Issei''s mom is a total FUCKING MILF, Holy shit. Is this the power of plot armor? His dad is an ugly mutt but his mother is fucking hot. I hadn''t planned on losing my virginity today but I guess I have no choice! God damn! In the anime Issei''s parents are old and saggy, his mother is passable but right here and now she looks like she''s barely a day over 20! She has massive tits that look like the softest cushions known to man and her peach garden looks tight enough to chop my dick off. I''m definitely getting some of that! Using telekinesis I kill off the old fool, +250XP and put his body into my inventory. Now, how should I do this? There are so many options that It''s hard to pick¡­ Should I be the hot burglar that fucks the house wife? Or should I pretend to be part of a dream? So SO MANY CHOICES. I don''t particularly care too much about my first time that much, so I think I''ll just go with the standard r*** tactic. Using ropes. Telekinesis in my case. Using telekinesis to grab all 4 of her limbs I spread her arms and legs into a spread eagle position. She''s starting to wake up but it doesn''t matter. The curtains are drawn so she can''t really see my face anyways, not like it matters much. *Lemon cut* The bedsheets looked way wetter than before, I think she might''ve had an orgasm¡­ "You enjoyed yourself huh? The bedsheet is irrefutable proof, You got off on being r****, did you now? What a shameless fucking whore." I suppose that surprised look on her face was actually her orgasm. She''s a squirter for sure, I regret having to kill her. Maybe I can let her live? R*** fetish''s are always fun. " Please, please just let me go, you''re done, aren''t you?" She says with a whimper and sob at the same time, That''s impressive. But as I look into her eyes I can tell that she wants revenge, it''s the same eyes as the guy who set me up. Deciding to kill her to avoid any more trouble, I use telekinesis to pinch her arteries just like her son and husband. Ironic.Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. Her eyes widen in fear and betrayal, Did she really think I''d let her go after killing both her son and husband? Too optimistic. After a small struggle she eventually succumbs to no oxygen in the brain. I look at her dead body in amusement for a second before storing it into my inventory. 1/6th of my inventory is filled with dead bodies, great. I could make this my base of operations for the time being, but on second thought, someone''s gonna notice that the hyoudou residents haven''t left their house for a while, and a concerned neighbours gonna call the police to investigate. I can''t have that. Entering an empty ID after grabbing all my clothes and putting it back on, I contemplate what to do next. Having sex was fun and all but I need to get stronger. I can have plenty of sex with hot chicks later. I exit the house very gracefully and realise it''s only about 8am. The streets are still kind of dark but the sun is starting to rise. I think it''s time for me to train some more. Quickly heading towards Kuoh park, I look around the empty ID and see nothing of note. After a few minutes of travelling I arrive at the park and run to a forested area of the park with no paths. I quickly contemplate whether this is a good idea or not, and decide that It probably Isn''t, but I''ll still do it. Right now I have 1800 mana. If I summon 100 shadow clones then each will have 18 mana, that''s really not enough for even an hour of training with pebbles, but it''s 100hours of training altogether. The only risk is brain damage, but even that is minimal. That''s when inspiration quickly struck me, I don''t HAVE to use pebbles. I could just use something even lighter, but still the same size. I used pebbles because they were convenient, but they still weighed a few grams, multiply that by 2 or 3 or even 4 and it becomes a mana intensive exercise (for my clones, since they only have a measly 18 mana.) Quickly deciding on an action plan I summon 100 shadow clones. "Okay boys, the plan is simple! First we''re gonna get a leaf of some kind, and then we''re gonna rip it into 3 pieces! Then we''re gonna train with those 3 pieces as we did yesterday! Do this until you''re comfortable with 3 pieces and move onto 4, then 5. You should all have about 4 hours of mana to use if you do this right. Leaves don''t weight shit, so all the mana is going towards actually directing them and constant power. Only go up to what you''re comfortable with, if you do 6 or 7 or 8 and you''re not comfortable with 4 or 5 then it''ll do more bad than good. Understood? Go!" They all nod and run off into the forest, why do they all split up? That''s kinda dumb. "You there, clone, Stay here. You''ll be helping me." The clone looks at me with semi-fearful eyes and gulps. He starts walking over to me and stands in front of me. "Don''t worry, I''m not gonna fuck you in the ass, jeez. You''re me so you should know what I''m gonna do." Honestly, what a weirdo. While all my clones work on being able to lift multiple objects into the air, I''ll work on getting better control. I''ve got a feeling that I actually can''t make clones do that part of the work, I''m not sure why I feel that way but I do, sort of like a gut feeling. *Ping* *Host is right, Shadow clones can do a lot, but some things have been deemed too overpowered, and therefore banned from working.* Ah, Well I suppose it doesn''t matter too much. Control probably won''t be too hard, especially with 60 INT. Oh, By the way, Finish the quest and receive rewards please. *Ping* *Host is forgetful. And an idiot. Mortals are dumb.* *Quest has been completed, please pick a reward for the first quest. 1 Rare gacha, or 5 Common Gacha* 5 Common Gacha, Right now I need escape items and 1 use wonders, My goal right now is to basically become a cockroach. Like so. "Mwhahaha! You''ll never defeat the 1000 shadow clones between me and my real body!" "Oh? You thought this was my real body? It''s actually just another shadow clone!" "Oh? You defeated ALL of my shadow clones? Good thing I''m in this unbeatable nuclear bunker!" "Oh? You managed to open the bunker with sheer force? Good thing this teleporter is here!" "Oh? You managed to follow me even after I destroyed the teleporter after leaving? Good thing my armor is made out of Orichalcum that is enchanted with healing 100 and mending!" "Oh? You managed to break my armor? You''re feeling pretty tired right now I bet? Me? I have this amazing stamina potion, hundreds of them actually! And health potions and mana potions! Mwhahah" "Oh? You managed to outlast my potions? Too bad that I have 1-use certain death avoidance items! Every time you try and kill me the item gets used up and absorbs the damage you gave me! And I have millions!" "Oh? You managed to destroy all my escape items? And destroyed the entire planet? I can breathe in space!" "Oh? You''re throwing me into the sun? I have resistance to the sun itself!" (Inspiration from arrogant young master) And so on and so forth. I want to always have a way out of situations where I just CANT die. That is my dream. Being super overpowered is always nice as well tho. Maybe I can become a super cockroach. What about the secret quest steps tho? Did I complete them? *Ping* *Secret quest 1: Kill and r*** Issei''s mother (complete) Reward: 1 random gacha token. Negative tier - Godly tier* *Secret quest step 2: Make sure no one is alerted of your presence during the quest. (FAILED!) *Generating random gacha token. Please pick a random number between 1-1000* Uh¡­ I mean that''s not really random, but okay. How about 535? *Gacha token 535 redeemed. = Uncommon.* Alright, good, if it was a negative tier what would that mean? Who the fuck would open a negative tiered gacha token? That can only be bad¡­ right? Who''s that dumb? Or maybe it forcefully opens, I dunno¡­ System won''t answer my question so, No answers for now. Anyways, I decide to open the gacha tokens now, and hope with all my might that I get escape items or something even remotely useful. I probably won''t get any overly good escape items from the common tier, So my hopes aren''t raised too high. *Gacha token (common) used x5!* *Spirit''s Lantern* *Uses mana as fuel, Functions as a normal lantern but when spirits come near it they are visible to the naked eye. The flame burns unprotected souls.* *Gremlin statue* *A statue of a gremlin, made out of regular stone. Contains the soul of a gremlin which can be commanded for an hour per day. Can kill normal humans but is useless against any supernatural beings with enough power to destroy stone. Once destroyed it is gone forever.* *Vial of wonders* *Can generate 100ml of any realistic liquid once. Scientific barriers can be broken using this vial. Vial can create potions if you desire. Use cautiously. Any liquid above 1500 celsius degrees will melt the explode violently.* *The immovable rod* *This flat iron rod has a button on one end. You can press the button, which causes the rod to become magically fixed in place. Until you or another creature push the button again, the rod doesn''t move, even if it is defying gravity. The rod can hold up to 6,000 Kilograms of Force. More weight causes the rod to deactivate and fall* *Disgusting ring of troll* *Gives user ability to shapeshift into a troll for 2 hours per day. 2X END. WIS,INT,DEX/2.* *Gain a negative reputation with all races while shapeshifted.* Okay, well, most of these aren''t exactly escape items, but¡­ I can think of a few uses for each of these. I don''t want the ring of troll, that is absolutely not getting used, ever. The vial of wonders can be exploited really easily, I''ll be sure to use that. And the Immovable rod, it''s an interesting item for sure. Now for the uncommon, escape item, escape item, escape item! *Ping* *Uncommon gacha token redeemed.* *Reward:Demonic servant summon spell.* *Summons a random demon from hell and binds it as your familiar for as long as you feed mana into the spell. Mana cost = 100/ 20minutes. Demon summoned is random in strength level. However strong demons can resist summoning spell. The higher level the spell is the stronger demons that can be summoned.* 0/50. (SPELL LOCKED. SUMMONER CLASS NEEDED) God thats fucking useless, I need to get 15 more levels before being able to get a secondary subclass. "Shop" Going into the shop I instantly sell the troll ring and get a nice 1200Credits for it. I also sell the gremlin statue since most beings can crush stone in this world, except humans. It nets me a shoddy 600Credits. I keep everything else for the time being and prepare myself for training. Looking at the clone infront of me I can see that he''s bored out of his mind, but he can''t disobey my commands, so he just sits there waiting for me to finish with whatever I''m doing. I''ve been sitting here for a good 10minutes now. "Okay, we''re gonna be training fine control now. I need you to get me a leaf and rip it into 100 pieces, make sure the pieces are only barely visible. I need them to be nearly microscopic." I''m gonna be training to be able to grab things that are extremely small. In the future I want to be able to grab atoms but for now I''ll settle for something a bit bigger. "You couldn''t have asked me that BEFORE you went and did whatever you did? Honestly" He says with a scoff, Oi. Don''t fucking sass me asshole, I''m the bigger bitch here aight. While he gets my request done I''m gonna do 2 things, ask the system a question and use my vial of wonders. "Hey system, Do I get the XP earned from my clones killing stuff?" I ask the system *Ping* *System can answer the question of mortal. Yes, you get 100% of the XP killed by your own clones.* Holy shit, I need to exploit that immediately. No wait, I can''t. I''ll do it after my clones are done training, I need to level telekinesis up first as well. Calm down me. Taking the vial of wonders out of my inventory I set about thinking of what the most overpowered thing I could possibly create, that is also liquid. It''s been proven that the system is basically a child right now, so this vial of wonders might be even more overpowered than my sacred gear. It''s completely possible that it is, I just need to utilize it well. I also only have 1 try, so I need to make it count. I can think of SO many things that I could make, pretty much anything has a liquid state. The system won''t answer my questions, so I have no information. It says that I can break the laws of science with these liquids, which probably implies that I can summon liquids that don''t make any sense in physics. I need to think about this for a while¡­ *12minutes later* My clone came back and had a small piece of oak wood with a tiny green pile on top of it. Should I ask my clone? I have hundreds of ideas but I can''t decide on which one to pick. I don''t want to destroy the vial so I''m not picking any dangerous ones, maybe my clone has some insight? "What''s the most powerful non-destructive liquid you can think of that would be beneficial for us?" My clone looks kinda stunned before a look of realization dawns on his face. "Uh, Well¡­ There''s quite a few but what do you want out of it? Power? Physical power? Soul power? Enhancements? There''s literally hundreds of ways to get each, You have to remember that the vial can produce any liquid. ANY. It doesn''t have to come from fiction, or anime, it also says that it can essentially break the laws of physics, you know what that means don''t you? It doesn''t have to make sense." And then It dawned upon me. If I can create any liquid¡­ Couldn''t I become a god with one step? Is that possible? Surely this vial isn''t THAT powerful? Grabbing the vial gently in my hand I try to will it to create a special liquid for me. Everything seems to be working before this pops up. *ERROR ERROR* *Vial cannot contain liquid "Ophis''s blood" Since it has an invalid amount of strings. Amount of strings present:¡Þ* NOOOOOOOOOOOO Damn it, DAMN IT! Fucking shit balls, cunt fucker titty shit cunt faggot fuck fuck fuck fuck, thats absolute fucking bullshit, god fucking damn it this fucking piece of shit. FUCKKKKKK, Calm down, calm down, the vial is still here. It''s still here, I can try again. I''m good. I''m good. It didn''t seem to use the vial in the attempt, and I can still feel the vial calling out to me to be used. So that''s good. So, I can''t summon ophis''s blood, I don''t know what I would''ve done with it once I had it, maybe I could drink it to gain infinite mana? That''s not how blood works, so maybe it''s a good thing that it didn''t work. It was way too good to be true anyway. I would''ve been too strong for my own good. This is probably a big mistake that I''m about to commit but, It''s gonna be very useful for the immediate future. I''ll be honest, I could just make a liquid that increases my "power" by 99999 or something like that, but I don''t want to go down that route, It won''t feel like my own power. So I''m going to use the liquid as an enhancement drug, Yeah, Call me stupid but I think this is the path that I need to take. Deciding with finality I summon the vial and will it to create me a potion. *Ping* *Vial of wonders used.* *Vile of wonders has created [LEGENDARY] level potion. *Potion provides the status effect: Legendary Hyper Focus.* *Effect: Allows the user a state of total and absolute control of their body, mind and soul. The level of control a user has while using Hyper Focus rivals hundreds of years of training, Given to the user instantly.* Hyper focus uses increasing amounts of stamina for the longer that it is active. And that, Ladies and gentlemen is how you exploit a common level gacha item. I could have exploited it a lot more but there''s a risk of getting punished by the system, it obviously doesn''t want me to become overpowered too fast. And I agree with it, being overpowered gets boring, I would assume. That''s probably why zeus fucks all his children. He''s bored. Lets see how this works now, shall we? I walk over to my clone and tell him to hold the leaves in front of his chest. I activate hyperfocus and everything becomes CLEAR I see everything that I hadn''t seen before, I can smell 13 different scents in the air of various animal feces, worms and birds flying above. I can see every single detail on my clones face, every single hair root, every single black-head inside their pores, I can see each individual outline of the leaves that my clone is holding. I can see the outline of my clone''s skin, his fingernails jagged edges. It seems like my clone''s been chewing his fingernail recently, I can see sweat trickling down my clones face. And I can almost see beyond¡­ I can see small flashes at the edge of my vision and I can almost go into more detail, I can feel that I can go even further beyond. However all that ends as I collapse to my knees and heave a mouthful of air. My clone just fucking punched me¡­ I''m gonna fucking shove a lion up his ass WHY DID HE PUNCH ME? I WAS BEING ENLIGHTENED! "WHY DID YOU PUNCH ME? HOW DARE YOU!?" I shout with a primal fury that I haven''t felt ever since I was 13, my mind is racing on reasons he would punch me and I try to reason that he had a good reason but my anger wont subside. I prepare to strangle him when Gamers mind kicks in. My anger slides away like a slippery snake in grass, and I try to hold onto it but it slips out from under my hands. "You stopped breathing and wouldn''t respond to my calls." Oh¡­ Thats, I suppose that makes sense, but why did I stop breathing? Was I too focused on all the details around me? And trying to go beyond? Why did I get so angered? I can usually keep my calm even if im getting the shit kicked out of me¡­ *ping* *Legendary hyper focus has a side effect of multiplying any high-level emotions after coming out of hyper focus.* Oh shit, that''s like, really bad¡­ Why did Gamers mind take so long to kick in tho? Was my primal fury so strong that It couldn''t suppress it? That''s actually a pretty cool thought¡­ *Ping* *I thought you had it handled, so I didn''t activate it until you were about to murder your clone, which wouldn''t have done anything by the way.* Ah, nice way to take me off my high horses there. I can probably deal with that side effect, any other side effects that I should know of? And should have been informed of when drinking it? No answer, as expected. So, I just need to not be amazed by everything that I see in hyper focus and remember to breath, How much SP do I have left? Its been a minute so it''s probably recharged by now. I don''t feel tired at all. SP regeneration is way too broken. Hp regeneration too. *Ping* You spent 3 seconds in hyperfocus and spent 602 SP Ah cool, I have a regen of 400 per minute so I''m fine now. Still, that''s a lot of SP for 3 seconds, and it''s only gonna get more for every second I spend in hyperfocus, apparently. Going back into hyperfocus I make sure to remember to breath, and I marvel at everything around me, everything is so much clearer now, I don''t feel smarter or anything, but I can truly observe things now, even my eagle eyes are lackluster to this. I can even feel each individual blood cell in my body. It''s kind of disorientating but really really cool at the same time. Anyways, I can''t waste time on paying attention to that. Focusing on the leaves I can see all 129 pieces. Didn''t I tell my clones to rip it into 100? Is he retarded? Anyways, no time for that. I focus on the smallest leaf and I can tell it''s exact length. It''s about 140micrometres in total area. Which is tiny, how did he even rip these up? Oh¡­ He probably grinded it up somehow without mixing them together, but I can already see the leaves trying to "mix" together for lack of a better word. So yeah, He didn''t cut them up¡­ he grinded them up, lazy cunt. That''s why theres 129 seperate pieces instead of 100. Using telekinesis I try to grab 12 pieces at first, and realise that it''s super, super fucking easy. I suppose hyper focus increases my concentration and ability to use telekinesis, I grab all 129 pieces of the leaf and start to levitate it around my clone''s palm. I try and make the leaves do acrobatic maneuvers but I''m interrupted. *Ping* *User has achieved new telekinesis aspect: Control. 1/1000* *The size of which you can control. Many users of telekinesis only think about how big of a thing they can stop. Not how small of a thing they can control.* *Provides a flat bonus to control of telekinesis per level. There is no unit of measurement for this.* *User already has a lot of experience in fine control category of telekinesis. Adding experience to Control.* *Control has leveled up! X19* *User is hereby allowed to abuse telekinesis as a further reward for finding and utilizing one of the [Lost aspects] Gamer system will not punish user for fully utilizing this lost aspect. Have fun mortal. Oh, I definitely will, don''t you worry about that. This confirms my theory that If I were to abuse the system ever more with other things, I would definitely get punished in one way or another. So that''s a big no no. It''s time for me to grind telekinesis and get as many levels as I possibly can in telekinesis. I''ll also try and get a few days of grinding done in the zombie ID just for the levels. I have to wonder how I''m gonna increase my body strength tho, When can I pick up a secondary primary class? Didn''t the system say I could get it once I leveled up 2 subclasses to 25? I''m gonna guess that my actual level also counts as my subclass since I get wis and int per level. So once I get to level 25 I''ll pick another subclass. I''ll probably pick summoner since I already have a demonic summon spell. I should be able to create skills tho, right? So if I pick the summoner class then I should be able to summon just about anything as long as my level is large enough, and I have enough mana. Deciding to try something out I cast telekinesis on a rock and fling it at full speed at a tree nearby, My clone seems startled but I don''t care about him right now. The rock smashes into the tree and goes right through. Leaving a nice and circular hole in the tree bark. No I''m not going to fuck it, if you were wondering. I do this a few more times with the same result as before, and then on the 6th try¡­ *Ping* *New skill evaluated and accepted.* *Telekinetic throw 0/10* *Use telekinesis to throw an object at another object. Levels increase accuracy and speed of object being thrown.* Ah, I entirely forgot that skill creation was a thing, Sometimes that happens. I''m gonna create a lot of skills now. The accuracy boost is nice and all, but what I really like about skills is this... I focus on a rock and use telekinetic throw, Noticeably faster the effect takes place and launches itself at a tree with just a thought. Before having this skill I had to go through multiple steps to get it to hit the tree. I had to envelope the rock in telekinetic power and then lift the rock up, aim it at the tree, and push it forward with telekinetic power, I also had to constantly supply power to the throw. The skill eliminates all that, I can just focus on the rock, cast telekinetic throw, and I''m done. The rock is ready to be launched at anything I want. It takes less time and could be a saving grace. It''s so much faster. I''m gonna need to practise on a few people to make other skills, but the skills that I can make in this forest isn''t small. I focus on a tree bark and imagine my telekinesis creating a hollow circle around the bark, I grab onto the bark and start applying as much pressure as I can. I can''t break the bark right now since I can only apply 215KG''s of force sadly. I was trying to make a skill called telekinetic crush. Moving on. I focus on my clone and notice that he''s just staring at me incredulously. It''s time for a little revenge, they don''t dispel unless Hit right? Using telekinesis I form an imaginary hand out of it, and grip his throat. I lift him into the air and he starts choking. I doubt he can die from oxygen deprivation, right? Right? Probably. He probably understands why I''m doing this, probably. He''s me after all. *Ping* *Force choke skill has been assessed and accepted.* *Force choke allows the user to create a hand out of telekinetic force and choke a target with but a thought. Force choke can use various amounts of pressure. From kinky choking to death choking to crushing your entire neck choking.* Alright, nice. Next, I''m gonna try and figure out how many things I can orbit around me at once, WITH a pattern. Which makes it way easier. "Go grab me as many stones as you can" I say to my clone, He looks at me oddly and rubs his throat, what a baby, it was just choking for a few minutes, honestly. I grab rocks as well and in a few minutes there''s a few dozen rocks in front of me. I''m not going to use hyperfocus this time to see how many rocks I can orbit around me at once naturally. 1 rock¡­ 2 rocks¡­ 16 rocks¡­ 31 rocks¡­. 72 rocks. I ran out of rocks. It turns out that by using a pattern this becomes absurdly easy. It takes only a little bit of concentration to keep the patterns active. *Ping* *Orbiting shield skill has been assessed and accepted.* *Orbiting skill picks up various items from around the user and forms a protective shield.* 0/100 *Levels allow user to pick up more objects at once. +10 objects per level.* *Objects must be under user''s telekinetic weight limit.* Cool, That''s what I was going for. Next. I stop all of the rocks and step out of the shield, there are quite a few holes but there won''t be if I use 1000 rocks at once, probably. Aiming all the rocks at various trees I use telekinetic force and throw them all at once. Targeting so many trees is difficult, so I hope I get a skill in one try. The stones roar through the air and strike the trees with bizzare power, half of the trees I targeted go down in a blaze of glory and I get a skill. *Telekinetic mass throw has been assessed and accepted.* *Allows the user to throw many items at once at several targets. Targeting is no longer required thanks to skill.* I''m on a fucking roll! Next! I use telekinetic force to form a hollow sphere around my entire body except my feet (so it doesn''t dig into the ground) and I can feel the telekinetic power form a solid shield all around me. It feels extremely weak and spread out for some reason. I doubt it''s more effective than my other shield, but it can be used a lot faster. *Telekinetic shield has been assessed and accepted.* *Allows the user to form a shield of telekinetic force around himself. The shield is the total telekinetic weight limit spread out evenly around the user. Shield can be focused into a single spot with practise. Force required to break shield is less than 1KG.* Alright, for now I think that''s enough. I can make new skills at any time I want. These will help me in combat situations, so that I don''t have to focus on each individual step every time I want to use telekinesis. For now I''m going to focus on making my telekinesis weight limit stronger, and raising my level. Here I come, grinding. *28 days of intense training inbound!* Training days of Ira After getting legendary hyper focus I set off into the familiar forest. I could train with zombie ID but that would get repetitive over time. In the familiar forest I''ll get to face hundreds of different animals and might even fight a few dragons, Not that I''m ready for that yet. But I''ll be soon, probably. I land at the edge of the familiar forest and I''m surprised. In the anime this place doesn''t seem that overly big, but here? It''s fucking MASSIVE. I honestly think that this may be the biggest forest I''ve ever seen! I walk into the forest and immediately notice that it feels weird, the atmospheric pressure suddenly changed¡­ I look behind me and see only trees, weird? I thought I just entered the forest, did I get teleported to a random part of the forest or something? That would explain my ears popping. I try to use telekinesis to fly up and see where I am only to realise that it doesn''t work¡­ Someone is blocking my telekinesis? Or someone? My assassination training comes in handy as I see a black blur in the corner of my eye and I spin around to see my attacker, but I don''t see anything¡­ weird, I feel like I''m being watched but I don''t see anything. I try to use telekinesis to pick something up and realise that none of my skills work, not even the gamer system¡­ Did I hallucinate all of what I just experienced? Was I high on drugs and accidentally walked into this forest while high? No, that''s impossible¡­ It was too realistic. I''m sure I died, so then what''s going on? I''m not in an illusion, gamers mind would cancel that for sure¡­ A test? The only thing in this universe that can cancel the gamers system would be the gaming system itself, is it testing me to see if I''m worthy or something? Does it want me to get out of the forest? At Least give me a quest, an objective?! Fuck does it want me to do? I sigh and start walking forward, the gamer system is testing me for an unknown reason and I don''t know what I''m supposed to do, for now I will assume it wants me to get out of this forest, or defeat some kind of boss. That''s usually how these things work, right? I break a branch off a tree and use a rock to sharpen it into a spear, good enough for now. The fauna in this forest is really weird, some areas have completely different fauna than others, it''s all a mix and match, the trees however are all the same, big, towering redwood trees. I hear a branch break and I freeze. I look over to the direction that the branch broke and see a small, green humanoid creature, half my size. It''s staring at me and I''m staring at it. Deciding to be the first one to strike I run forward and stab the spear towards it''s eye, it tries to dodge but ends up falling on it''s ass and my spear goes through its eye. I feel the familiar rush of XP going through my body but get no notification, it''s confirmed, the system isn''t responding to me on purpose. But since it''s such a child it forgot to stop me from earning or feeling XP. Or it might not be able to stop that, I''m not sure yet. What I just killed was a goblin, they usually travel in groups of 5 or more just like humans, this one might''ve been a scout or had run away from it''s base, which was unlikely. So I will assume it''s a scout. I quickly hide the body under a pile of leafs and climb up a nearby tree, these trees have massive branches so my entire body is hidden from ground view, I watch out for any titanoboas because if there are goblins, then I''m sure there are titanoboas. I was right in my assumption, 3 goblins follow the same path that the scout took, they''re all wearing loin cloths but these one''s have actual weapons, A rusty dagger, A stone mace, and a makeshift sling. They look confused when his footsteps end, then they notice my much larger footsteps running towards the small footsteps, they gain a panicked look and start frantically looking around, but it''s already too late, I drop down from the tree and hit one of them in the face with my spear, he clutches his face and drops his rusty dagger. The one with the mace swings at my groin but using my superior reach I stab him in the face with my spear. I notice that the third one is missing from my sight and realise my mistake immediately, but it''s too late for that. I feel a sharp pain in my neck and I immediately turn towards where the pain came from, behind me. I look behind me and see the little goblin fucker, the one with the sling. I throw the spear at him and hit him in the stomach, the spear going straight through his body. He looks up at me in terror and slumps down to his knees, what a drama queen. I look at the goblin still clutching at his face and boot stomp on his head, It explodes in a violent gush of blood and brains everywhere. Probably not the smartest thing to do since it''ll attract other animals, but I was mad. Gamers mind isn''t cancelling my negative emotions anymore so I have to apply manual emotional discipline. I check my neck for any damage and find none, the rock hadn''t managed to penetrate through my thick skin, good. It left a slight bump but it''s healing rapidly. It seems like I still maintain my enhanced body, and probably strength too. The spear is ruined however so I can''t salvage that. My inventory doesn''t work either so I can''t store things conveniently, thats too bad. I pick up the rusty knife and smack it against a rock a couple of times, it holds and doesn''t break, it''s not been rusty for too long, so it''s good enough. I''ve never been a mace kind of guy so I leave the mace behind, I have no clue how to use a sling so I leave that too. I remember that In reincarnation novels and Isekai that goblins have magical cores, which sell for a lot, but I assume that I''m still in highschool dxd, So they probably don''t have any magic cores, I don''t want to get blood on my hands so I don''t bother to check. It''d be too messy. I walk north for a few minutes until I hear the sounds of a river flowing. It sounds quite powerful so it''s probably quite a big river. I need to be careful since animals like coming to take a drink, and predators usually camp the rivers. Fucking alligators. I walk over to the river and don''t see any immediate threats, I''m still not sure if everything that happened over the last few days has been real, since for now I''ve lost telekinesis I need to check if everything has been real, just to make sure. I walk over to the river and stare at my reflection. My heart settles, which I hadn''t even known was racing when I stare back at myself, white hair, heterochromia and a beautiful face. BOTH of my hearts settle, sorry. I forgot I have two. By the way, I have two hearts. Jealous? I wash off my right boot and take a quick drink. I hope this water isn''t contaminated by ligma, that''d be horrible. What''s ligma you ask? LIGMA NU- *WHOOSH* I instinctively roll backwards and dodge a massive death club, I get out from underneath this monster and take a look at what I''m dealing with. How did this fucking thing sneak up on me? It''s a massive towering orc with chiseled muscle and holding a massive club, did the water infect me with ligma? Is that why I missed the orc! Wait.. This is no time to be joking it''s a fucking orc! *WHOOSH* The orc swings its massive club and I roll underneath it, I use my iron knife to try and cut the orc but it breaks, shitty fucking knife! I drop the knife and roll underneath the orc again, my only advantage in this fight seems to be my agility, and intelligence. Before the orc has a chance to turn around I jump on its neck and start raining down blows on its head, I get 13 blows in before the orc reaches up and grabs me with his thick fingers, I can feel him trying to crush me but my bones hold, probably because I made everything so dense. I kick him in the face and he stumbles back, instinctively dropping me to hold his now bleeding nose. He stares at me with fury and roars a primal roar. I think he''s angry. The orc charges at me with everything it has and swings the club in a downward arc, I roll to the side and bring my heel down on top of its hands, a wet crunch is heard and the orc drops his club and screams in pain. I quickly rush to the club and heft it onto my shoulder, this thing weighs at least 40KG. I use basic physics to my advantage and start spinning in circles with the club to build up centrifugal force. After a few seconds I''m at terminal velocity and I have an unbeatable barrier of death. Time to plan, how do I beat an opponent who outclasses me in pretty much anything physical, except agility? It barely has any weaknesses, I can''t cripple it by it''s knees since the thick muscle prevents it from breaking easily, I don''t have enough force to break it''s knees. Can orcs swim¡­? Of course they can, right? Okay, Drowning the orc won''t work. I can use it to escape if things take a turn for the worse. I doubt the orc is much stronger than me, I can use the club with a little bit of difficulty, but the orc seems to be able to wield it very easily, so I estimate that the orc is probably twice as strong as me, overall not that bad. Not bad at all. I need to decide on a plan soon or I''ll become nauseous, I can only spin for so long before that happens. If I went fist for fist with the orc I think I have a good chance at defeating it, especially if I target it''s eyes. So that means I need to get rid of its weapon, which I have right now. Every time I do a full revolution I can see the orc staring at me with incredible amounts of patience, weren''t orcs meant to be impatient cannibals? I try to let go of the club at the perfect moment to hit the orc in the face, accounting for the lead and speed at which I''m spinning. I let go and the club hits the orc in the face, breaking several of its teeth and causing the orc to stumble back. The club got cracked right down the middle, making it pretty worthless. Still dangerous, but it has a high chance of breaking on its next swing. I quickly rush the orc since it was retarded enough to grab its face with its mangled fingers. I jump high into the air and grab onto the stunned orc, forming my hands into makeshift spears I launch it at the orcs wide open eyes. I''m holding onto the orc by wrapping my legs around its waist. The orc tries to swat away my hands with its hands but my hands are simply too fast. My hands fly into the orcs skull and I try to cause as much damage as I can by shoving my hand into his eyes up till my elbow, till it can''t move anymore. I rip out my hands from its eye sockets and they''re coated in blood, I unwrap my legs from its waist and drop to the ground, rolling backwards as soon as I land incase of retaliation. The orc drops to its knees but it''s still fucking alive, I circle around the orc to behind it and roundhouse kick it in the back of the head. Completely breaking its neck and killing the orc. That was easier than I had expected, but I got very lucky with that club throw. I need to get stronger. Also need a new spear or something. I feel the rush of XP through my veins and a small, almost miniscule smirk grows on my face. I think I just leveled up a dozen times, I''m not sure tho. No gamer system, remember? I wash the blood off of my hands in the river and decide to be serious for the time being, this is all pretty dangerous. I rinse my elbows in the river and realise that my leather jacket actually didn''t absorb the blood, it seems like my clothes given to me by the system is waterproof, or something. I look up and down the stream in search of anything, I honestly don''t know where I am, but I think it''s still the same familiar forest. Which means that there are unlikely to be any human civilisations down stream. But there could be other civilisations? Who knows what lives in this massive forest. I start walking down stream and try to keep an observant eye in all directions, but alas I only have two eyes. And one direction that I wasn''t looking was downwards. Sad but alas nothing can be done. A snake strikes and latches onto my calve, I can feel venom being injected into my leg before I can do anything, I pick up a nearby rock and smash it on the head. Killing it instantly. I''m really rusty, I need to start shaping up or I''m really going to die. The venom shouldn''t be lethal but It''ll make walking over long distances difficult. Not a massive problem. My modified body should be able to purge the venom rather quickly. I''ll be fine for now. I decided to take a short rest to let my body rest and get to work on purging the venom. After 20minutes I can be seen sweating incredible amounts and slightly shivering. I was wrong, this venom is really fucking deadly, shit shit shit shit, Fuck do I do? There''s nothing I can do at this point¡­ Will I really die like this? WAIT! My sacred gear, there''s no way that the system can block even that off, right!? I try to summon my sacred gear and fail, I try again and fail, same as before. I try one last time but this try I summon all of my failing willpower and bash it against the mental lock that holds my sacred gear, I can feel my consciousness fading but I keep bashing. COME ON! After one final bash of willpower the lock crumbles to dust, I immediately summon my sacred gear and prepare for the pain of a lifetime, Entering a meditative state I target the venom inside my own body and BURN, pain wracks my entire body and I feel as if I had the worst fever ever, I can''t move and I can barely think. I mean, I''m setting a fire in my own veins, what did I expect? The venom made it to my heart, and the fire burns through my heart, destroying it almost instantly, both venom and heart. The venom only made it to my first heart, my brain and second heart are completely fine. After 2 minutes of overbearing pain I finally go unconscious, however, all the venom in my body had been purged by fire. I think I''ll survive, fate will decide. -pov change- We were travelling upstream to fetch some buncle apples for aunt Maer, she was cooking my favourite! Buncle apple and venison stew! I''m travelling with my elder brother and father. I am only 13 this summer but the tribe has decided that I''m allowed to go on foraging runs for the upcoming winter, we start preparing for winter at the start of spring because we hibernate during winter, so we eat a feast before winter and hibernate through it. Oh? Why do we hibernate you ask? Aren''t you just super silly? obviously because frogs hibernate. Yes! I am a frog, a greater frog to be exact. One of the rare intelligent species that occupy this massive forest. We live in tribes of 40 members, any more and we can''t collect enough food for the winter, so once a tribe reaches 40 members it splits off into 2, 20 and 20. And one of the groups leaves the hunting area and the other stays. There''s not enough food in the one area for both tribes after all. We trade goods with other tribes but the tribe that we split off from has a significant place in our hearts, so they get discounts. We trade things like footwear, some clothes for women, delicacies like rare plants and mushrooms, everything and anything that has value! As I was saying currently we are looking for buncle apples for stew, they are like regular apples except they''re made out of meat. They still grow on trees though, but the trees have to be killed before you can get the apples, this is still considered foraging weirdly enough, the trees are made out of meat too but our weak jaws can''t eat it, it''s very hard. Hunting is reserved for females over 20 and males over 14. Foraging is reserved for females over 12. Babies don''t forage. They just play and stuff, anyway, where was I? Uhhhh, oh yeah! Stew! Stew is like the greatest thing ever! Especially aunt Maer''s stew, it tastes so good! I''m drooling by just thinking about how great it''ll be. I nearly stumble when I come out of my thoughts but I manage to not embarrass myself in front of elder brother and father. We keep walking for a few minutes before dad abruptly stops, elder brother walking into his back since he wasn''t paying attention, hehe stupid elder brother. "Stop, there is a massive amount of ambient magic on the path in front of us, however, It feels very chaotic and in pain, it could be a wounded greater animal. We shall avoid this path, come, let us go around." I gasp in amazement and my eyes widen in astonishment, a greater animal!? Greater animals are usually very intelligent, like us, but have greater combat capabilities than our race, Greater animals are just a name we use for any race that has great combat capabilities, some of the greater animals that also have large mana reserves include some elves, greater falcons, greater tigers, and ground dragons. Dragons in this forest are very rare, and they don''t count as greater animals, every dragon counts as an elder animal of the forest. They are above even greater animals! Greater frogs like us are at the bottom of rankings, we are just known as magical animals, animals with no intelligence at all are known as just normal animals. Like bunnies and insects and stuff. "But father! If it is wounded could we not kill it!? We must rush forward and kill it for the glory of our tribe! Just imagine all the glory that we could achieve!" Shouts elder brother, he''s always been a glory seeker and "brave" toad. "Silence fool! Even a wounded greater animal can easily destroy an entire tribe! Do not tempt fate you idiot!" Says father in a reprimanding voice, I try to feel for the mana that father talks about and realise how vast it is, It is most definitely chaotic and in pain, but I also feel another emotion? It''s hard to describe but it feels like a cry for help, or perhaps it''s cursing itself for being so foolish? "Father, I think we should help the greater animal, it seems like it''s in pain and it''s crying out for help, please father?" I ask with the best toad eyes that I can give him, his resistance crumbles in a second and he sighs. "Alright, however, if it turns out to be hostile then we run instantly. And you must stay behind me at all costs. If I say run, you run. Understood? And son, if you dare attack it, I will castrate you myself! Do NOT attack it, even if it is asleep." Father says in a strict voice, stricter than I have ever heard. Father is really serious about this for some reason, he''s gone hunting for wild beasts before but he has never been this serious before, are greater animals really that dangerous? We continue on the same path that we were originally taking and the mana in the air grows even thicker, thick enough that even elder brother can feel it, even with his non-existent sensing ability. I can hear him gulp and sweat starts to trickle down his frog-nose Females are generally better at sensing mana than males, no one knows the reason or questions why. It just is. Father stops and stares at something, Me and elder brother don''t see since we''re behind him, "Father, what''s wrong? Is it a dragon? Is it a vampire!? Or is it even something bigger?" Elder brother says excitedly, with a tinge of nervousness. "No, It''s smaller, It looks like a vampire but it doesn''t have pale skin, I''m not sure what it is. It looks like an elf without pointy ears. All I know is that it doesn''t seem to be hostile, I think it might be sleeping." Father said, he continued walking towards the greater animal with deliberately loud steps in order to alert it of our presence.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. The greater animal didn''t stir, the oldest toad thought that it might have been dead, but dismissed that notion as quick as it came, dead things don''t emit so much mana after all. The father figure quickly did a once over of the weird animal and saw that it was wearing clothes, much much higher quality than the hemp clothes that women wear in their tribe. It seemed like it was made out of some kind of animal hide, and plant fibres. The greater frogs have no ability to tan leather so they could not create these clothes, even if they wanted to. The eldest frog inched closer and only then did he see that the greater animal seemed to have been bitten by a snake, looking on the ground he did not find any snakes, which suggests that the greater animal didn''t kill it, which is unlikely or that the greater animal travelled a great distance even when bitten. "Get out our treatment supplies, get the snake oil ointment and herbal paste and give them to me." The only snakes in this part of the forest are Xenopeltidae,spiny tree vipers and some rare vipers here and there. They can''t treat the venom of any of the snakes, the only thing they can do to try and curry favour from this intelligent greater animal is to boost its natural healing using snake oil and herbal paste. The tribe produces this herbal paste and trades it with others from their herb farm. They are the only ones in the area who have suitable conditions to grow the required herbs. The elder brother gave both of the requested items to the father and was wondering what the father was doing, if the greater animal was so injured then couldn''t they kill it and brag about it? But he did not dare to disobey his father, so he did as asked. The father told the two siblings to stay where they were at and walked closer to the greater animal. Once he was one meter away he spoke in the common tongue of the forest. "Hello, greater animal, please let me help you with your snake wound. I wish to assist you in your time of need. If you are unconscious and do not reply I will take that as consent." The father had not spoken common tongue for a long time, so he was rather rusty and only remembered the formal,strict versions of everything. The greater animal did not respond, did not even acknowledge that the greater toad was in its presence, so the father assumed that the greater animal was unconscious from the venom. He sat down next to the greater animal and stopped blocking the view of the elder brother and sister. They both gasped and elder brother had to restrain himself from attacking the wounded creature. They both kept alert of their surroundings like taught but sat down to rest their legs. They''ve been walking for quite a while after all. The father treated the bite wound and made sure plenty of herbal paste got into the hole, he smeared snake oil onto the exterior of the oil and then used a cleaned leaf to bandage up the calve. The father wasn''t sure if bringing this creature into their tribe land was a good idea, but staying here was a really bad idea. It wasn''t dangerous if you knew the best routes to take but the river was a popular hunting area for big predators. Greater frogs can only survive in these areas because they know the best routes to take, to avoid the predators entirely. The greater frogs weren''t that much smaller than Ira, The father had hardened muscles from hunting dangerous opponents like coyotes and deer. (dangerous for them) So he was sure that he could carry Ira with ease. But when he tried to lift him, he wouldn''t budge. The greater frog put everything into trying to lift Ira but he could only make him move slightly. "Son, come here, we can''t leave this greater animal in this open, exposed area, I don''t know what it was thinking sleeping here. It''s one of the worst spots it could pick. It might be new to this area. Come help me pick it up and move it to a better place." Both frogmen positioned themselves at either side of Ira, one at the legs and one at the head. They both grunted and managed to lift Ira. Over the course of 15minutes they managed to move him into a safer place. They were inside one of the great redwood trees, a hole in the base of the tree serving as makeshift shelter. "What do we do with it father? If it was bitten by a snake then it probably won''t awaken for another few hours at least. We should just leave it here and get apples, then check in on the greater animal when we''re on our way back, and if it has awoken then we can ask it if it would like to take refuge in our village until it gets back on its feet." Said the elder brother, that was actually unusually wise from the stupid toad. The father contemplated this and decided that there wasn''t anything else they could do. If they waited here for the greater animal to wake up then night would come and they wouldn''t have any apples, there is no guarantee that the greater animal would wake up at all. "Okay, we''ll go get buncle apples and then if the greater animal has awoken we shall offer refuge. That was a good suggestion, son. Let''s go." And with that they set off to collect apples. Leaving behind a recuperating Ira. -Ira pov- I woke up to a rat nibbling at my foot, I lift my foot and crush its head with my heel, feeling pain all the time during my movement. God damn it now I have rat blood on my foot, I should''ve thought that through better. Fuck. My veins still feel like they''re on fire, thick syrup being pumped through my sensitive veins. I can''t move without feeling immense pain. I can feel my veins being regenerated at a pretty fast pace, if I had to guess I''d say I have about, 30hp or so right now. Which is probably not too good. That snake really blended in well. I look around and notice that I''m in some kind of wooden construct, it looks circular and wooden so I assume I''m inside one of the trees, I don''t remember entering one before losing consciousness so it must''ve been someone else that carried me in here, or something else. I weigh 120Kilograms so there''s no way it was another human, it must''ve been something similar to an orc to be able to carry me so far. Or it might''ve been a group of people, well, not people, but you know what I mean. Or it''s possible that the rat I just crushed dragged me all the way here to this tree, and was trying to wake me up by nibbling my feets, oh god I feel horrible now, why did you have to think of that possibility brain? Just kidding. Well, there''s really not much for me to do right now, It''ll take me atleast a day to heal fully even with my insane regeneration, My regeneration with the gamer system is truly insane, but right now the gamer system has temporarily left me for some unknown reason, so I''m back to pretty much baseline levels of regeneration¡­ Wait a fucking second, burn victims back in my world had it pretty rough¡­ What if my veins never actually repair? But what was it that I felt when I woke up? This needs immediate investigation. Entering a meditative trance I immediately look deep inside me. I look for my veins and out of the darkness of the void comes lines that take the form of a human body. 70% of the veins are red and the rest of them are a healthy green, both of my feet, up until my first heart are red, my brain and second heart are fine. Thats probably why I''m still alive, never thought that my idea of making myself a second heart would actually pay off, what I would''ve actually used it for was like "*SPLAT* *Blood gurgle* You¡­ This¡­ This power, I see. I''ve lost. You win this time, *Bleh*" and then the guy that I''m fighting would be like "You were a good opponent, rest in peace." and then I''d be like "Just kidding lmao I''m not dead" and grab his sword and pull it deeper into me, and moan while doing it or something. My daydreams are cut short when I notice that my damaged veins are turning yellow by the minute, slowly but surely, one by one they are turning yellow, and then green, and then it moves onto another section of vein. So somehow I''m still healing, slower than if I had the gamer system since I''d be able to heal within minutes, but I''m still healing fast for a human. I exit my meditative trance and get back to waiting for my mobility to return. If someone or something dragged me here, and didn''t eat me, then does that mean that whatever dragged me here is friendly? I sure hope so since I can''t get out of here. All I can do is wait for whoever dragged me here to return, and hope that they weren''t just saving me as a snack for later. If they don''t come back at all then that''s good too. The entrance of the tree that I''m sitting in can''t be taller than 5 feet, so it''s likely multiple people. *31 Minutes later* The first thing that I heard that alerted me of someone''s presence was the shuffling of leaves. It was getting closer and closer, I grabbed a rock in case a fight broke out. It''s better than using my bare fists. I was still in tremendous pain but I have regained basic mobility. A dark silhouette slowly poked its head from the side into the little room that I was in, Once my eyes adjusted and focused on the figure I was stunned Standing in front of me is a brown frog. Yes, standing. The frog in front of me is bipedal, and staring at me with curiosity but a high amount of caution. "Hello greater animal! Please do not attack, I have helped you with your wound, we wish to offer refuge to you!" Says the frog in a weird japanese, the frog has an accent and it''s obvious that it barely knows the language. Since I am a certified weeb I know fluent japanese, and this frog does not! On to the less important point, it wants to help me? Or is it trying to lure me back to its home to eat me? It has some kind of backpack on its back made out of thatch, so it''s obvious this is some kind of primitive caveman frog, how did he help me with my wound? "How did you help me with my wound? What did you do to it?" I ask in perfect japanese. "I used our tribes herbal paste to speed up your healing! And I also spread snake oil over the entrance of your wound to help it close up! At last I used a cleaned leaf to cover up your wound." Says the frog, how the fuck did a frog learn basic first aid? That''s overly complex for a frog in the primitive era. Back in even medieval times people would usually be like "Oh you''ve got a fever? Bloodletting. Broken spine? Bloodletting." everything was dealt with by bloodletting. Or leeches. But I guess the frogs developed in a different way since their brains function differently, or something like that, I''m really not sure. He''s also giving our information freely, which could be for three reasons, he''s stupid and doesn''t realise he''s doing it, or he doesn''t see me as a threat, or he doesnt mind giving out information. I relax upon realising this and nod to the frog. It''s probably the third one. So I''m probably in the green for now. It called me a greater animal, and is being very polite to me, I think that a greater animal is some sort of powerful being in this forest that has earned a classification of it''s own. "What is your name frog?" I ask with a semi-arrogant voice, gotta play the part of greater animal after all. "This humble frog''s name is jebediah your lordship." I assumed right, he''s calling me a lord, so greater animals are nobles of this forest or something. Why did it assume that I''m a greater animal tho? "You can call me Ira. Explain to me which quality of mine you enjoy the most, as to call me a greater animal, which I most certainly am." The frog looks confused for a second before nodding and speaking "Lord Ira your mana quantity is truly astonishing, me and my children came across your massive mana and felt that you were in pain. I shall be honest my lord, at first I had not wanted to come near you, I felt that you might lash out if someone came near you in a time of pain. However my daughter convinced me of getting closer to your lordship, incase you were in need of aid!" The frog explains, alright, so it was him and his children who helped me, great. "I see, for showing courage and wisdom that is admirable, I shall not feast upon you. You said you wished to offer me refuge? I shall check if your refuge is acceptable and then decide. Let us go." I say to the frog, Free shelter? Yes please. "Ah, Lord Ira, before we head to my village can you please not kill anyone when we arrive? Also, excuse this arrogant frog but is there perhaps any way of you reducing the amount of mana in the air? Most of my tribe do not have as good resistance as me. And even I am suffocating slightly." Ah yeah, my mana I lost control of it and haven''t stopped producing it ever since the venom. I realise that I have mana, but I can''t actually use it without the system since I don''t know what telekinesis does to it. How to shape it and how to achieve telekinesis without the use of mana¡­ It feels weird, since when you''re using telekinesis with the system you just CAN and you don''t really question it. It feels natural and you feel like you''re the one actually doing all the work. You take it for granted and when you lose it you realise that without it you''re nothing¡­ Fuck it didn''t work. I was trying to appeal to the system to stop being a whiny bitch and give me the system advantages back, what a massive cunt. But all that I said was also true. Not having the system truly sucks balls. I mentally command my mana to stop being produced when my mana pool is full and immediately the frog in front of me stands up a little straighter, as if a weight had been taken off his shoulders. I try to command my mana to move around inside my body and I can feel it respond eagerly. So I can still use mana, I just can''t use it to make spells. Good to know. In some anime the main character can unleash destruction by only using mana, I wonder if that''s true here too? I can''t test it now since the frog in front of me is looking at me weirdly. It''s been a few seconds since I said lets go, he''s probably waiting for me to get up or something¡­ Which I can''t. "Come here, help me up. The deadly venom from the heavenly destruction sect''s sky king viper did a number on my mobility. I suspect I will need a few days to recover." I lie. I have no fucking idea what that snake was, I also lied about needing a few days to recover. Incase they were planning to attack me or something, I''ll be able to recover in a day and then be ready for an attack. Sky king viper also just sounds really cool. "Ah, a sky king viper¡­ Yes that is a very deadly snake species indeed. It is very amazing that lord Ira has survived being bitten by one." Says the frog in a complacent tone. I don''t think he believes me. The frog walks towards me and extends his slimy frog hand towards me. I grab it and heft myself up, I forgot that I was 120kg so I used all of my power and nearly dragged the frog down to the ground. I met the children of the frog and not gonna lie, his daughter was kinda hot. Also underage. I mean¡­ Maybe frogs have something like dog years? Yknow? It''s also a forest¡­ Soooooo. The other child wasn''t very interesting, he was looking at me with vigilance and clear excitement, a weird mix for sure. He looked pretty generic and I doubt he amounts to much in the tribe. Along the way the biggest frog told me about his tribe, their traditions and whatnot. He couldn''t tell me much since we only traveled for about an hour before arriving in a decently sized primitive village. I counted 34 houses which suggests this village is going to split into 2 soon. I could see their herb garden with my enhanced eyes, it was cleverly hidden in a small rocky outcrop with the entrance covered with vines. It was probably hidden so that rabbits and foxes didn''t eat the herbs, not against other intelligent beings. We entered the village and the frog people looked at me very curiously. Jebodiah has told me that there are other greater animals that occupy this forest that look exactly like me. Vampires and elves to name a few. Vampires are known to be aggressive to all races except themselves, and elves just fuck trees and smoke leaves or some shit. They''re just a race that stays in their part of the forest and don''t want conflict with any of the other races. The frogs are afraid of both because the elves have "advanced" magic. And there are tales of vampires. It is said that they are so fast that you can''t even see them move, all you see is a blur and then they''re gone, along with your friend or loved one, or even you! What a shitty rumour, they probably haven''t seen a single vampire and this is all based on rumours. Rumours that are probably true but it''s still just rumours. I could probably beat a vampire. Yeah totally. I was led to the village leader and my situation was explained to him. He had really saggy frog skin and all his fingers drooped like soup. He looked like he was on his death bed with gray hairs sticking out of his scalp all over the place. He was pretty nice though, I guess. He offered me refuge but I suspect it was only because jebediah told him that I was a greater animal. The elder looked skeptical but when he saw the resemblance to vampires and elves he immediately changed his mind. I was told that vampires and elves change into greater animals once they reach adulthood, or late teenagehood. The earlier you reach greater animalness the more talented you are. I have no clue how you determine whether someone is qualified for being classified as a greater animal so I asked. It''s based on the amount of mana you have, once you''re able to make a fox or coyote crumple to their knees by using only the pressure of mana on the animal, you are classified as a greater animal. So it''s basically based on MP size. Cool. I use mana sensing to see how much mana jebediah had and he has about 130units of mana, the elder has 96 and his children have 40 and 35. Everyone in the village was somewhere in between. I assume that the amount of mana needed to force a dumb animal to their knees is somewhere around 300 or 400. I have no reason for this number but it just seems like that''s the right answer. So if we put all this together, we can assume that adult elves and probably vampires have a mana pool of around 400-? And can use "advanced magic" which gives them a big advantage. I don''t have any books on how to use telekinesis or any magic, so I can only rely on experimentation with mana. Not being able to use magic sucks balls. I was led to a slightly bigger than normal thatch hut and introduced to the rooms of the house. They probably keep this house as a guest house specifically since there is dust everywhere and it looks like no one''s lived here for years. The house was hastily cleaned of dust by a bunch of children frog. Child labour for the win. After everyone left I lied down on the rough bed and started thinking. I wanted to experiment with mana but right now even walking was difficult, so I settled for thinking. What was the objective that the system wants me to do? Can''t it atleast give me a tip? I don''t feel hungry or sleepy at all so I''m assuming that I still don''t need to eat or sleep, which is always good. I can''t do anything physical right now so I decided to just go to sleep. I was about to drift off to sleep when I heard it. *Ping* *Congratulations to user for surviving one full day without system assistance. User has been deemed worthy of information on current situation. User has guessed that this is a test. User is correct. User''s objective is survival in the forest. User''s main objective is to subdue the dragon tiamat in the middle of the death forest without the use of the gamer system.* *Quest complete: Survive one full day in the death forest without assistance Reward: Information. +15levels. +Blade of the hopeless.* *Blade of the hopeless: A blade given to those without any hope of survival, it uses the powerful emotions of despair and fear of those around the user to power up. The more fear the blade consumes the sharper it will become. Base sharpness can slice through wood easily.* ¡­ Okay. That main objective seems a little excessive, how do I kill a dragon without any magic or the gamer system? But the wording seems weird, it says subdue, not kill. The definition of subdue is to gain control over someone or something, subdue is mostly used in the temporary time frame. So does that mean if I were to tell tiamat to stop moving, and she listened even for a microsecond, that that would count as being subdued? The system doesn''t answer my question so I think I might be right. I won''t take that risk tho so I''m going to train the shit out of my body and hope for the best in trying to learn magic without the system. I also assumed correctly that this is no longer the familiar forest, but in canon the dragon tiamat is supposed to be working as an administrator for rating games? It makes no sense for her to be here. *Ping* *The dragon tiamat in this ID is fake. Created by the system for the user to subdue. The death forest is all one big ID created for the user to be tested in. Exiting ID is forbidden.* Oh, so I''m in an ID. When I first entered the forest I had actually felt the same sensation as entering an ID, but couldn''t place it until now. This being an ID changes nothing however, the threats are still very real and everything in here can kill me. I can''t go to sleep now so I experiment with my mana. I try to bring my mana out of my body and succeed immediately. All my practise paid off. I try to shape the mana into an arrow shape and launch it at something. The mana harmlessly collides with the wood that I launched it at. Frick. I have no information on how the magic system in my body works, for humans in dxd it''s all based on maths (ew) and complex formulas, but it''s obviously not that case for me. Maybe it''s based on intent? I summon mana into the air in front of me and will it to change into a fire element. Nothing happens. Alright, listen buddy¡­ Wait, perhaps my magic works with science? I know that''s a massive oxymoron but it makes some sort of weird sense. In my previous life I loved science, so maybe my magic takes the trait of working by imagining science? This might limit me greatly but it could be being used as a nerf of sorts. With all my knowledge of anime and all the different powers that I could just imagine into existence, I would be unstoppable. I call mana into existence a third time and imagine 3 parts of the mana turning into fuel. Oxygen. And 1 part of my mana into a naked flame. As soon as I imagine the naked flame a massive fireball combusts into existence in front of my face, luckily it was far enough away that I only felt a residual blast of heat. Oxygen is the main component of combustion, and a very good fuel source for fire. So the resulting fireball was very powerful, but only lasted for a short while since all the oxygen was used up instantly. I only used about 200units of mana in that fireball. I wonder what all of my mana could do? And what sort of limits that I have? The "nerf" that the system tried to apply to me has backfired amazingly. I will become god with my magic, and the best thing? I doubt anyone can copy it. Experiments! Over the past 28 days I have been training relentlessly, and boy was it worth it. I won''t show you my status screen just yet, instead I''ll demonstrate how much power I''ve amassed over the month. I''ve also enrolled in Kuoh academy since it was the easiest way to get closer to Rias and Sona, and thereby the supernatural. I have no idea how to get to hell or heaven, and I have no idea where the gregory faction HQ is. So it''s really my only option, fucking rias is also a small motivator for going to the school. Passing the entrance exam was ridiculously easy, barely took any effort. Anyways, demonstration time. "ID create: Death dragons" Yes, that''s right. I''m fighting the world famous death dragons, and they''re actually not made out of bones, they''re just black and have really bad breath. Some people call them ''apocalypse incarnate'' and the ''reverse messiah'' but they''re really not that bad, they''re kinda cute to be honest. The ID envelopes my body and im not in Kuoh town anymore, the entire landscape goes to a silent hum and changes to an entirely new place. It looks like grassy flatlands from Konosuba, except without the grass¡­ And with a few bones here and there¡­ And black fire everywhere, water replaced by black goo¡­ I mean it''s flat? So it''s pretty much the same. Death dragons are very very rare in the DXD world, mainly because they get banished from their families upon birth if one is born, and then they either can''t survive in the wild or they get attacked by pretty much everyone, no one likes cute baby death dragons apparently. Weird. Everyone thinks that it''s just a random chance that a normal dragon couple have a death dragon baby, but that''s actually not it, I assume some people figured it out before me but it''s actually the amount of death that''s in the air, death perverts mana and therefore makes it death mana. Which the mother dragon then breathes in and influences the fetus inside, thereby causing a death dragon. It''s all pretty interesting stuff. Anyways, I''m walking around and looking for dragons, they''re not all that rare around here but the smaller and medium ones can somehow tell that I''m here, they''ve learned to instinctively fear me somehow, if that''s even possible. But that doesn''t stop bigger dragons from attacking me, their pride won''t let them. *ROAR* The ground trembles as a massive roar is heard. A dragon plummets to the ground and lands on the ''grassy'' plains. Creating a large crater below the beast. The dragon instantly tries to assault me with smelly breath, but before it can even open its mouth I use telekinesis and make a form fitting suit around the dragon. And I crush it with telekinesis. The dragon puts up a moment of resistance before it''s entire body gets crushed to the ground. I can''t kill these dragons with the pure force of crushing alone, their bones are too strong for that. I look at the struggling dragon and I find it oddly cute, must be my minor rape fetish going off. But I''m not into dragons, especially ones who can suck my life out of me along with my cum. This one''s also male. "Inspect", Information is tasty.

Therefore end value worth more. However ID created dragons cannot compare to real ones.* Quite a strong one, one of the strongest I''ve met in this ID so far. But far too weak when compared to the current me. It''s stronger physically since stats simply add onto what''s already there, and it has massive fucking muscles, so even if I had 4 times the strength it had, I would still only about match his strength. It''s intelligent enough to know that it''s going to die, but it''s instincts and pride won''t let it take it lying down, but that''s alright. I smile at the dragon and cast "Flight" on my self, which is just telekinesis given skill form. I fly 600m''s away from the dragon and it thinks it''s safe, but I''m still holding it down. I smile once more and cast "Vacuum Implosion" All the air 400m''s around the dragon gets violently sucked out, and the dragon''s eyes bulge. All of a sudden all of the air rush''s explosively back into the vacuum, all at once. Everything gets destroyed, the dragon is an unrecognisable mess of meat and bone, and the ground in the area is utterly ruined. It''s also raining blood, cool huh? +129900XP! What I just cast is just one of my many original spells using telekinesis. It''s probably one of my medium level spells, not too strong but not weak either. Enough to kill a death dragon. *Vacuum implosion* *Using telekinesis you rip all of the air molecules out of a certain area. All the air wants to rush back in, so you let it, but you also assist it using telekinesis. Speeding up the rush of air, doubling the damage dealt from a massive change in atmospheric pressure. Destruction and mana cost based on how big the area is for your implosion.* This one just works on basic principles of physics. Everything has a weight, even air, so if you take it all and leave nothing, more air wants to fill that space, all you''re doing is assisting that process. It''s really simple but effective, also I''m probably the only one who can use telekinesis at this level. The speed at which air rushes into an empty space is truly astonishing, reaching subsonic levels. Now, make that even faster. Now that''s a lotta damage! The air itself doesn''t have enough weight to do MUCH, but the air inside the dragon wants to escape due to atmospheric pressure dropping, and when the atmospheric pressure suddenly goes back to normal, well... It''s not pretty. I can easily grab molecules at this point but atoms are still beyond my reach. Literally. I also have other cool spells using telekinesis but you''ll have to wait for those. For now I want to experiment with something. I exit the ID but don''t bother entering an empty ID, The only thing that poses a threat against me right now are beings like sirzechs, azazel, arch angels, etc, other than that I can deal with anything weaker than them, and even if I did encounter an ultimate class being, I have 90% confidence that I can escape. I cast flight on myself and take off into the air, I''m not worried about normal people seeing me since it''s dark as fuck, and I''m wearing black clothes. I''m flying to a very poor part of Kuoh because I''m going to be kidnapping some people, thugs mainly to experiment on. And I''m hoping that the devil''s don''t notice some people going missing. Police are unlikely to be called out to these areas, so there''s a smaller chance for the devils to even know about people missing. I''m also going to only kidnap thugs, hopefully they don''t have anyone who''ll miss them. I land on the ground after a minute of flying and stalk around the streets, stretching my senses to as far as possible to pick up any signs of rape or conflict. "Help! Someone please help!" A female voice screams, target acquired. Time to kidnap some people and do inhumane experiments on them. Yay! I cast flight and speed over to the alleyway where the screaming is coming from. -third person pov- A group of thugs is surrounding a singular female, they were originally planning to just mug her but then it was revealed that she was hot as fuck, so they decided to rape her instead. "Stop fucking around and hold her down for fucks sake!" Commanded one of the thugs. He''s the leader of this small band of dimwits. "We''re trying boss! She''s squirming around, can I go after your turn boss?" Asks one of the lackeys. The boss sighs and curses his underlings stupidity, what if she had a gun? If you''re not paying attention to the woman than you could get killed pretty easily, underestimation is the worst crime a thug can commit. "Stop looking at me and hold her down you shitty bastard!" Said the leader once again. "Yes boss!" The leader suddenly looked around suspiciously, all the crickets in the area had gone silent. The sudden lack of ambient sound was extremely unsettling. *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* Footsteps. A single person was walking down the alleyway with heavy steps. The leader''s heartbeat quickened and he had a terrible omen. "It''s a great night to be raping someone, ain''t it gentlemen?" Asked the mysterious stranger "Who the fuck are you cunt? You ain''t getting a piece of this pussy! You got any fucking money you bastard?" One of the thugs shot off. The leader paled. The stranger hasn''t even done anything yet, so why the fuck was he so scared!? "HELP PLEASE! WHOEVER YOU ARE PLEASE HELP ME IM BEGGING YOU. I DON''T WANT TO BE RAPED!" Screamed the woman, In a weird tone. The leader paled even more, damn it. Shut the fuck up you bitch, he thought to himself. Does he have a gun under that jacket? The leader had a gun but didn''t bring it today since he expected a defenceless normal citizen, which they had found, but then this jackass stumbled upon them. "Ah, money, it''s an interesting thing. Pieces of paper and small, round coins that dictate our lives. Exchanging it for goods that are worth far more than something you can get off of a tree. It''s truly interesting, Sure, I have money. Here, catch." The stranger said, and flung something towards the thug that asked for his money. That thing happens to be a 100 yen coin. However, the stranger flung the coin so hard and fast that the thug who exclaimed towards him had no chance to catch it. Hitting him in the head and knocking him unconscious immediately. This was all the leader needed, and he tried to bolt out of there, but to his dismay he found that he couldn''t move. No matter how hard he tried. -Ira''s pov- Ah, the leader tried to flee. I think he can somehow sense that I''m dangerous. Some people''s instinct is just sharper than others, y''know? But I can''t let him leave, I need human subjects. What I don''t need however is human subjects that can escape. And with that, I cripple all of the thugs. They all scream and drop to the ground in agony, but I can''t care less. I knock them unconscious for now and walk up to the lady trembling in fright. All her clothes are ripped and her breasts are exposed, her skirt is down to her ankles and her panties were torn to the side, exposing her shaved virgin pussy. I contemplate raping her before deciding that experimentation is more important. She''s just a background character anyway. I use telekinesis to levitate the thugs off the ground and prepare to leave. "Wait! Who the hell are you? And how did you do that?" Huh? What the fuck? Wasn''t she just about to get raped? How can she go from frightened little girl to questioning her "saviour"? Does the universe WANT me to fucking rape her and murder her violently? "Why would I answer that question? Also, how can you go from frightened damsel in distress to a swearing bitch in a second?" I ask incredulously, perhaps she''s not just a background character? I didn''t bother to use inspect since she has very little mana, above average for a human but compared to me it''s very little. "Because those guys were going to be my meals, and you fucking interrupted me! Now I''m hungry AND pissed. Perhaps I should take you as my next meal? You''ve got some thrifty tricks but they won''t help against my power, huehehe" Oh, I get it. So she''s a succubus, oh she certainly could be a stray devil but I really doubt that, here''s why. *Ping* *User has been attacked with a mind attack: Lust incarceration. Effect: Increases a person''s Lust and affection towards the caster. Increased submissive attitude towards caster.* *Gamers mind has nullified effects of lust incarceration.* Did¡­ She just try to shiro me? Seriously? I mean, I wouldn''t be totally against it, except for the fact that my power is well, mine. And I''m not giving it to anyone, I''m not sure what kind of succubus she is, there''s 2 types that I know of, mana feeders and life force feeders. It''s pretty self explanatory, and I''ve got plenty of mana and life force, but I''m still not giving it to a succubus, literally a race that whores itself out to live. It''s kind of pitiful really. Finding out which type she is rather easy.

I don''t really feel like getting raped today however, and she may be in contact with the devils in Kuoh, damn I''m unlucky. I don''t really want to kill her, mainly because she''s a cute girl, but I will if I have to. "Ah, so you''re a stray devil? Are you sure you can eat me? Also, your spell won''t work on me. Whatever it is." She looks really surprised, and then gets angry. "What the fuck? How can you compare me to a fucking stray devil you piece of shit, I''m obviously a succubus, way better than a shitty devil! Why wont my fucking spell work on you? You''re supposed to be at my pussy lapping like a dog trying to please it''s owner by now, get on your fucking knees and stick your tongue out you fucker!" Holy fucking shit she''s vulgar, I think she might be even worse than me. Damn, that''s an achievement. Also, she seems to have bad blood with devils since she called them shitty, but that could just be how vulgar she is... "While that''s an enticing offer, I''ll have to refuse I''m afraid. I only have one question for you, are you affiliated with any of the devils in this town? And don''t try to lie to me, I''ll know" I said that last part with a tiny bit of mana in my vocal cords, It doesn''t compel people to follow my orders or anything but it''s a coolness factor. It also shakes the walls of the alley and causes a mini earthquake, I only put a tiny amount of mana into my voice but the results are still extreme, damn. "No I''m not affiliated with those shitty devils, they probably don''t even know I exist. Why the fuck are you still even here if you''re not gonna fuck me? Fuck off cunt." Shes telling the truth, her heart beat was erratic from my voice but it''s following a steady pattern of erratic. It makes sense, dont worry about it. She''s scared now, but is still vulgar, very interesting. "Well then, I must be off, good luck with finding¡­ food." I bid her a goodbye, turn around and fly off into the sunse- moonset. Yeah. Totally. Shut up. I obviously took the thugs as well. I need them for experimentation. *An hour later* -thug leader pov- "It''s about time you woke up, why don''t you introduce yourself?" Said a commanding voice. Wha- what''s going on? All I remember is¡­ Oh, Oh god no please, we''ve been captured¡­ or at least I have, I''m blindfolded and taped to a .. table? I knew becoming a thug was a bad idea, but my mother.. I can''t pay her medical bills without robbing people, I-It''s not my fault damn it! The hospital is practically robbing people! SO WHY CAN''T I? "I said fucking introduce yourself." Said the commanding voice again, this time bringing a pain of agony throughout my entire body. My knees jerk and buckle against the restraints, which only causes more agony¡­ oh, that''s right, he somehow broke my knee before I went unconscious. I forgot about that, tears of agony roll down my face and I can''t even blink them away. "M-My name is Jack ingof, please, I didn''t want to become a criminal, I swear! Please let me go I''ll change my ways!" I can''t do anything but plead with this monster, he broke all of our legs at the same time, seemingly without even moving. "Jack ingof? Are you fucking kidding me right now? HAHAHAH" Yes, that''s really my name, laugh all you want but my mother wasn''t exactly in her right state of mind when naming me. A wave of fury courses through me but I know it''s useless. Being angry won''t help me escape. "Alright Mr. Ingof hehehe, I''m going to be prodding at your brain a few times with these very sharp tools, and I''d like you to tell me what you feel when I ask you, understood? If your performance is satisfactory I''ll let you go, and even pay you for your performance." Fucking what? Is my skull cut open right now? I try to check but remember that I''m still restrained, I can''t feel anything weird up there? Shouldn''t I feel a bit of an exposed feeling on the surface of my brain if my skull was cut open? Some pain maybe? I go to nod and realise it''s probably not a wise thing to do, I don''t know if I should believe him when he says he has my skull cut open, but it''s better to be cautious than brave. "Yes, Please don''t hurt me." Silence ensues, and just when I think that this might all just be a prank, everything goes purple, I remember when my dad left me at the age of 4, when my mother''s cancer developed past stage 3 at the age of 6, when I lost both of my testicles at the age of 13, when I got raped by my babysitter and she laughed at my tiny penis. The humiliation, the sadness, the depression,all of it. "Shame. That''s what I feel right now, can I go now? Please." It''s obvious, he''s actually using me as a human experiment right now. "I did not ask, but thank you for your input. Next. This time do not speak until I finish prodding, understood?" "Yes." I reply. Slightly worried at what''s coming next. Next comes an unfamiliar emotion. It feels very foreign and yet the memories that come afterwards explains it all. The first time I met my friends, true friends, forming a gang with them, our first successful robbery, the money that we got from that one business guy. It''s happiness, an emotion I haven''t felt ever since my mother went past stage 4 of cancer. An emotion that is so distant that I can''t even remember what it feels like. "What emotion do you feel currently?" Asks the voice, I contemplate lying to him, since I''m fairly certain I won''t be getting out of here alive. But¡­ Is this really so bad? I get to feel happiness for once in my life¡­ Perhaps, just maybe I can convince him to somehow make this permanent? "Happiness, a very high amount of it." I say with as much sincerity as I can muster, I should try to get on his good side. Even if these are my last few hours on earth, I''ll at least be able to live them without any pain. "Interesting, Next." A feeling of pure agony courses through my veins, It''s such a deep agony that it rattles my bones and it feels like my skeleton came alive all of a sudden, and it wants to be set free. All the beatings that my dad gave me before he left come flooding back to me, walled off memories that I don''t even want to think about all reveal themselves, Like deadly poison, it all seeps into my body, my skin, It mangles my entire soul into an unrecognizable mess, one that even a god couldn''t repair. And as suddenly as it came, it disappeared. I''m left a panting mess with tears in my eyes that overflow with blood. "Hmm, I suppose that''s pain? Or perhaps fear? Care to comment?" Asks the voice of the devil himself, I was wrong, I was so utterly wrong, he definitely wouldn''t do something so kind for me, I''m definitely going to die, "Yes." I say with an emotionless voice. There''s no point in resisting anymore, no point in even hoping for a rescue¡­ Wait a second, is he the one making me be this hopeless or is it my true feeling? I muster up all of my willpower that I can get and ask "Are you doing this?" Then the feeling instantly vanishes, completely erased off the face of my brain. "Yes, very impressive for you to realise. How did you feel for the last 2 touches?" "Agony, complete unbridled agony. And hopelessness that is so extreme that I felt suicidal, as if nothing I did could ever make a difference to the outcome of this experiment." I say with honesty, I revel in the feeling of the complement and wish that I was free so I could please my new master, I wish I could stick my ass into the air like my babysitter forced me to and let him plunder my ass, I wish he would spit on me and call me a used whore so- W-What the fuck is wrong with me? jesus fucking christ. I nearly vomit my guts out at that line of thought and realise that that was him, I never knew that the human brain had SO much power over a person''s own thoughts, I am as straight as a man can be but my own brain turned me into a hungry cumslut, it''s truly frightening. "What did you feel?" Asks the voice laced in amusement, I realise that pre-cum is dripping out of my penis at an astonishing rate. He can probably see a wet patch on my groin, I feel utter shame and embarrassment at having a wet dream, while I was awake, especially because I''m not gay. "Lust¡­ And submission. I''m feeling embarrassment right now, before you ask." I say. I feel blood rushing to my cheeks in a blush. "That last part wasnt me, but good to know. Last experiment." He says, and then mutters something else that I can''t quite catch. After almost a minute of anticipation everything goes dark¡­ Even darker than it was before from the blindfold¡­ Did I.. Die? I can''t feel the cold metal table anymore, I can''t feel the wet cumstain in my underpants, I''m just, free floating inside a void. Panic rises inside my chest, but it cools as if it was doused by sand. Minutes go by, and when he doesn''t ask what I''m feeling I try to tell him to stop doing whatever he''s doing, even if it would be useless. Only to realise I can''t talk. I can''t move. I can''t even blink¡­. Minutes go by without anything happening, and then hours, and then days, and then months. I hold out for a year or so. I can''t tell how much time passes, but I think it''s about a year. I don''t know anymore¡­. - Hi! I''m¡­ well. I don''t know who I am honestly, and I don''t know what I am either, but I''ve lived here my entire life! And you''re actually just a random thought that I''m having, I enjoy talking to myself since there''s really no one else around! I tried creating some company a while back but I can''t do anything! Sometimes I like to imagine talking to someone in my own head for fun! But those thoughts just kinda disappear after a while, and I go back to waiting! Waiting for what you ask? I don''t know, all I know is that I must wait for something, or maybe someone! I''m really excited for the day that that something arrives. It''ll be super fun! -Ira''s pov- I look at the drooling mess of a thug babbling to himself and realise that I might have overdone it. I''m not sure what exactly I did, but it''s evidently left him unfunctioning as a human being. Time to dispose of him I guess. Using my sacred gear I summon a flame that is 1600 celsius degrees hot and burn the thug to ashes almost instantly. He doesn''t even realise that he''s being burned alive. I think I broke him, just like the rest of the thugs, but he held onto his sanity for longer than the other 3. It seems that a certain part of the brain drives people to insanity if stimulated, I can only look on the surface of the brain with my xray since it''s not a fucking mri, obviously, so I can only experiment a certain amount. Using the 4 thugs I''ve pretty much mapped out the entire surface of the brain. Not every single part of it, but 90% of it is covered, I haven''t tried the nooks and crannies yet but I''ll do that some other time, when I have more subjects. The reason I did this is so I can influence people and maybe even some low-level supernatural beings in subtle ways. They can''t feel my telekinesis on their brain since the brain has no nerves, they might feel a small pressure inside their skull but that could just be a headache, do supernatural beings even get headaches actually? I do¡­ Anyways, I can offer a deal, or ask them for something and subtly increase their submissiveness and happiness to get them to accept the deal, this technique uses a bit of mana so it probably won''t work on any supernatural beings that are good at sensing mana. Which is most of them. I can also only increase happiness to a certain extent, or they''d get suspicious. The first time I did this I accidently used so much happiness that it became like a drug, and the thug overdosed on it. Which makes sense since happiness is just a chemical reaction in the brain. I drove him to insanity with happiness. Ironic. Anyways, not important. I got the skill on the last thug, which is why it was improved so much in such little time. I can choose whether the target only feels emotions, or if they see memories and the emotion. It''s more powerful the second way but someone might find it suspicious if they''re alert. *Ping* *Mind manipulation skill has been assessed and accepted.* *Allows the user to use telekinesis to influence a person''s thoughts greatly by using emotions against them. E.g A person is more likely to accept a bad deal if you increase their happiness at having such a deal made. But there are limits. Mana usage negligible." So that''s pretty cool. Can only be used on weak things but cool nonetheless. I use a bit of telekinesis to scatter the ashes and left the warehouse. There''s one more thing that I want to do. At this point I can control molecules, and can use 1265 KG of telekinetic weight. But I really want to be able to at least touch atoms, I have a few trump cards but another two wouldn''t hurt. And with that I summon a clone as a failsafe. He nods at me and I nod at him, epic bro moment. I activate Widen neural channels and the world grinds to a halt, it literally looks as if the entire world has stopped. This is a very, very mana intensive spell, even for me, so I only have about 30minutes. I activate hyper-focus as well and the entire world blooms with detail. My eyesight is enhanced by several orders of magnitude and I can see each individual air molecule in the air. This is as far as I got so far. But it''s not enough, I need to Zoom even further. The reason I sped up my perception of time is because I can only activate hyper focus for 5minutes, but like this I can activate it for 35 minutes. I''m not sure how exactly it works, but the sped up perception somehow negates the SP cost of hyper focus. So it gives me 30minutes and then the usual 5 minutes of hyper focus. Exploits. I focus on one particular molecule and will my eyes to look deeper inside. I can feel my eyes starting to strain from effort but I keep going, my entire head pounds and my vision starts to blur but I can see my vision starting to get magnified, just a few more seconds! I push through the ungodly pain and fight my brain trying to shut down, until one final push and its done! I can see the atom for a split second before everything shuts down. -Clone pov- I got summoned as a failsafe, he does this every time, how bothersome. I look into his eyes and he looks into mine, epic bro moment. A second later he collapses and I catch him. This also happens most of the time, but this time he''s actually bleeding from his eyes, hope he doesn''t go blind¡­ mainly because then I''d go blind too. I carry him out of the warehouse, I can''t create an ID so I just carry him with telekinesis to a secluded area in kuoh park. Now the wait for him to wake up, I can''t wake him up and I won''t even dare to try, the last time a clone woke him up¡­ *Shivers* He usually "sleep" for a few days whenever he "Breaks his limits", fucking weeb. I feel insulted by myself but I''m actually not him, and he''s not me. We are but we aren''t, it''s weird. Sigh. I have enough mana to last me months before I dispel, so I''ve gotta stay here and keep guard until he wakes up. *9 Days later. 4 days before the start of school.* -Ira POV- I wake up to the smell of rotten eggs, I look around but find myself in a forest, with a clone staring at me before dispelling itself, the memories come flooding back to me and I smile with a crooked smile. I did it! I saw the atom, I''ll have to refine the technique later, but for now I''m going to find out where the fuck this shitty smell is coming from, obviously not eggs, It''s the smell of mana. Foul. Mana. Flying to its source I find a normal 2 story house, the small gate is wide open and the door looks broken down, I walk into the house realise that we''re in a different space. It''s hard to explain but it''s used to prevent normal people from coming upon a scene, it encourages people with weak wills that nothing interesting is going on in this house. But there certainly is something interesting in this house, I come upon a scene that would make most people vomit their guts out. Me? It kinda turns me on. The entire floor is covered in blood, probably more blood than a human has, so like wtf? And In the corner is a corpse, chopped up into itsy bitsy pieces. I think I know what''s going on, and my thoughts are confirmed when I look over to one of the couches. Sitting in it, with white hair is the one and only, Freed sellzen. Ah, this guy might''ve been trying to summon a devil or something. It reminds me awfully of when Issei was summoned in canon, but it''s not canon time yet so I guess it''s just a coincidence. Probably. "Punish the wicked. Words to live by! Yes, wise advice to heed from a holy man." He stands up, And starts to walk towards. He starts talking again before I have a chance to talk back. "Well well, you just walked into the wrong house my friend" He starts doing a weird fuckin dance, this is exactly like the scene from dxd¡­ Does he practise this little introduction and use it every time?! Jesus christ. "Freed sellzen at your service" He bows "and you must be the scared little devil pussy who''s ass I''m gonna exercise" Literally word for word¡­ Sigh. "Uh, No, I''m actually human¡­ You do this to the guy in the corner?" I ask with a small smile tugging at my lips. "Huh? The fuck? You''re a human? How the fuck did you get past my barrier? Well then, if you''re a human, you wouldn''t mind If I were to test this light sword blessed by an EXORCIST on your body, RIGHT?!" He asks with a wicked look in his eyes, I kinda like this guy. He pulls out a freaking light saber and starts walking towards me, I think he''s trying to scare me. "Uh, I mean, You could¡­ Or you could FUCK OFF!" I roar and rush at him, He tries to dodge my charge but he''s way too slow. "TOO SLOW FUCKER!" And I punch him. A shockwave passes through the house and his body flies into the wall. He coughs up blood and looks at me in distress. He realised that he''s outmatched. "*Cough* What the fuck you fucker? You ARE a devil! Filthy devil shitscum! I''ll chop off your head and skull fuck you! CUNT!" He stands up and pretends to rush at me, but at the last second drops a flash grenade on the ground and tries to escape. Too bad that flash grenades don''t fucking work on me. I use force choke on him and lift him into the air. "LET ME GO GOD DAMN IT! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT I''LL FUCKING END YOU AND I''LL FUCK YOUR MOTHER WITH YOU WATCHING, ILL MAKE YOU RAPE YOUR OWN MOTHER YOU FUCKING LITTLE SHIT STAIN I''LL MAKE YOU DRINK YOUR OWN CUM FROM YOUR MOTHERS WHORE OF A MOUTH." Wow, vulgar. I squeeze with force choke and look deep into his eyes. "I find your lack of faith¡­ Disturbing." I slowly increase the force of my choke and watch as he helplessly grabs at his throat. Upping the pressure even more his neck begins to crack, I shatter his esophagus and he slumps lifelessly in my grip. I crush even harder and his eyes widen from their originally closed state, No use in playing possum you retard. I crush his neck entirely in my grip and throw him off to the side. +5920xp! Another problem removed from canon. Kokabell might strike sooner than he would''ve normally, but that''s what I''m aiming for. Once I kill him there won''t be any more obstructions in my way. Starting a war is fun and all, but not very profitable for any of the sides. I''d eventually get dragged into the war as well. I simply can''t have that. I would incinerate his body, but this household is obviously known by the devils, since the guy in here was trying to summon one. If I leave the priest here they''ll at least know who killed the guy, they''ll also know a third party was involved but it doesn''t matter too much. I''ll open all the windows and my scent should get erased entirely by the time the devils arrive. I smell a lot like the forest as well, since I''ve been sleeping in one for the past 9 days, so that''ll throw off any scent tracers even more. My mana is completely housed within me, I don''t leak any. There might be some kind of magic scrying spell for finding out who was involved in a crime scene, but that doesn''t matter too much. It''s only a few days until canon and I''m going to be revealing myself anyway. I''ve been preparing for the first school day for 2 months now, I can only hope that I''ve prepared enough. I have multiple trump cards, and I''m as strong as I can be within such a limited time frame. I don''t want to be too strong though, that''d just make things boring. I smirk and fly out of the house. Heading into the forest to do any last minute preparations. *4 days later.* Negotiations

May become one later but not certain. Over the last 4 days I''ve been making last minute preparations, I''ve decided to get acting since I need to act at least a little civil with the devils. Acting simply lets me adopt a persona, which helps control my mouth and actions. It''s useful. Anyways, I put on my uniform (this thing is kinda itchy) and release a little bit of my mana control, letting some of my mana regen kick in, since my mana pool is already full, it leaks out into the air around me. I also let my sacred gear''s presence shine out of me like a bright beacon in a desolate wasteland. I decided to walk to Kuoh instead of flying, since let''s be honest, that''d be pretty suspicious. I contemplate whether I''m ready for this or not, I can probably take on sirzechs for a minute at least and have a good chance of surviving, if I don''t care about my own survival then I can probably take him down with me. I look into my inventory and smirk at what I see in there, it wasn''t easy to buy, especially in japan. But I did it, sitting in my inventory is highly enriched uranium-235. Hats down to you if you know what that''s for. Anyways, I arrive at the school and it''s just as I remember, pretty fucking big. Standing there at the front gate is the one and only sona sitri, my first impressions? Not that hot, I think her sister looks way better in all honesty, or maybe thats just me. I don''t know and I don''t care. I walk up to her with a small smile on my face and she notices me approaching. She looks at my hair and facial features, probably to confirm that I''m who she''s looking for and approaches me. I honestly didn''t expect her to welcome me to the school personally, does she welcome everyone (doubtful) or is she welcoming me because I passed the entrance exam with 100%? I''m not too sure. She has a small smile on her face but it''s obvious that it''s just for pleasantries and whatnot "It''s a pleasure to meet you soulhearth-san, welcome to Kuoh academy, my name is Souna Shitori , part of the council, I would like to give you a tour and guide you to your first class, please follow me." She says and gives a small bow, she doesn''t wait for me to say hello back, what a fucking bitch, and walks off into courtyard infront of the school, heading for the main doors. People are staring at me as I walk through the hallways and I pretend to pay attention to whatever the fuck Sona''s saying, when she ignored me I lost a lot of my respect for her, I don''t think she''s intentionally trying to ignore me, that''s just the kind of person is but she''s still a massive cunt. No questions asked mortal! Do not disobey god! (me) She starts probing me for information inbetween tidbits of information about the school. "So, Soulhearth-san do you believe in any religions? Our school has a high range of religions for people to study." Real smooth sona, to be honest tho if I didn''t know about the supernatural I wouldn''t think anything of this question, now time to dance around her probes for information like the absolute god I am. "Please call me Ira, or Ira-san, I don''t care much for honorifics. To answer your question I believe in religion as much as I choose to at the time, sometimes I care not for religion and other times I take communion just to fit in with the others around me, religion is a very subjective belief after all. God is very forgiving apparently" She winces when I say god and I can see her trying to hold it in, it doesn''t work. "Ah, I see. What about the supernatural? Vampires and the like, do you believe in them sou- Ira-san?" What''s the best way to dance around this one? Hmm "Ah, vampires and stuff huh? I mean they''re cool and all but pretty unrealistic, why does a stake through the heart kill them and a sword through the heart doesn''t? How''s that work? Cthulhu on the other hand¡­ That guy''s really cool, I''ve only met him once but he really left an impression on me, y''know?" I say with a silly smirk on my face and watch as her face goes from suprised, to looking at me like I''m an idiot "If you met cthulhu then wouldn''t you be insane? I don''t think you could meet an elder god without losing grip of your sanity Ira-san" Who said I wasn''t insane? Fuck dude, she''s assuming my mental status¡­ I''ve never actually met cthulhu but it''d be pretty cool I think, what if it turns out cthulhu is my dad!? Oh wait, I don''t have any tentacles so I guess I can''t be his son, or her''s, don''t assume bro " I suppose you''re right, do you believe in the supernatural Shitori-san?" I ask, turning the question around on her. I don''t want her asking too many questions. It''s bothersome. "Yes, I tend to believe in anything supernatural, we have an occult research club in our school, perhaps you''ll care to visit sometime? The leader of the club is Rias gremory. It is quite a fun past time." Not the answer I expected but alright, we arrive at the classroom and we stand outside of it for a second, using this second I use inspect on Sona, I doubt she''ll be able to feel the tiny amount of mana that I''m using, it''s truly tiny.

Thank you for the tour Sitri-san, I enjoyed it. I bid you adieu." I say, and walk in as the teacher calls for me. I step into the classroom and hear several of the girls gasp and some even squeal, I only have 21 CHR, damn, calm down girls. I know I look good but alas, sadly my heart is taken, taken by a certain dragon! Ah, the agony! Just kidding. I look around and see that I''m placed into issei''s original class. The perverted duo (heheheh) look at me as if they''d been forced to swallow a lemon, Hey! It''s not my fault for looking this good! Oh wait¡­ It is! HAHAHAH fucking virgins! The teacher gets out of her stunned state and has a faint blush on her face (MILF! GET!) "Alright class, this is Ira-san, Ira-san would you please introduce yourself to the class and give a few interesting details about yourself? Pay attention class!" She says, I step up to the front of the class and put my acting to full use. "Hello everyone, my name is Ira Soulhearth, I grew up in America but both of my parents were japanese, I decided to move back here after they died in an ''accident'' and decided this would be the best place to continue my education. I have a high interest in robotic engineering. I hope we all get along." I say my script and notice everyone staring at me with pity, what the fuck it''s a made up story, jesus christ, acting is very fucking powerful I guess. I only mentioned that my parents are fucking dead and they go full blown psycho on me, jesus. I wasn''t able to procure actual documents saying that my parents died,since I didn''t have any, so that''ll make Sona really suspicious once she hears about my supposed dead parents, but that doesn''t matter since I''m planning on revealing myself soon anyway. I go for the only empty seat in the classroom, which was supposed to be Issei''s and sit down. Putting my backpack under the table and start scenically staring out the window. I notice a white tuft of hair in another window staring back at me, and I wave. She continues to stare¡­ I thought koneko was kinda cute but she''s actually creeping me out. Uhhhhhh, note to self, get koneko to have emotions again, soon. Her eyes are pretty lifeless right now. Oof. *2 hours later* God, class was fucking boring, I was tempted to shoot up the school with telekinetic bullets more than once in that class, purely out of boredom. It''s break time now however, which means I have shit to do. Visiting a busty redhead to be exact. -3rd person pov- Sona sitri sitting in her chair in the council room was thinking, when she received a student application into her school a month ago she didn''t think much of it, she approved it without any overly complex thoughts when she saw that he had passed the entrance exams with full marks. She thought that he might have cheated but that didn''t matter too much. But that was obviously before he showed up for his first day, radiating power AND having a sacred gear? She couldn''t tell what level the sacred gear was, it felt as powerful as a loginus but it felt¡­ wrong. For the first time in forever she felt confused. The mana that she could feel leaking from his body was also weird, it had no elemental flavour to it. She thought that all beings who could use mana would have an element, but apparently she had been wrong. The door opens and a tall busty girl walks in, red hair and a skirt 2 sizes too short. Rias gremory. "You felt the new student''s sacred gear, yes?" Of course, all she can think about is the sacred gear, and using it to get out of her marriage, typical. Thought Sona. "Yes, and If I remember correctly we agreed that I would get the next sacred gear user that comes to our school, if they decided to join a peerage of course." Sona mentions, It''s true. They had both agreed that sona would get the next sacred gear user for her peerage, and this one is a strong one too.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. "He also has magic, if you didn''t notice. The real question is whether or not he knows about his sacred gear and magic, and also if he knows about the supernatural. I was thinking of making him my pawn, since I already have 2 bishops." "Please, Riser''s getting really persistent, he''s trying to move our marriage to before I graduate. How about this, I''ll owe you a favour and you let me have him?" Rias pleads with her best friend. Frustrated at her situation and helplessness. She''s used to getting everything she wants, and she doesn''t want to marry riser. "5 Favours that I can call in whenever I want. And you HAVE to inform me whenever you spot a new sacred gear user, or strong magic user. And I get to pick whoever I want for my peerage." Sona offers. A longinus sacred gear user is worth much more, but she would be taking a risk, she''s nearly sure that the new student is a human, which means they''re unlikely to know about magic or the supernatural at all. Training them would take weeks or months. And she already has a near full peerage, so it doesn''t matter too much. Rias is also her best friend, and childhood friend, she doesn''t want to see her marry a pigsty like Riser. That''s a fate worse than death. "Yay! Thanks sona, I really appreciate it. By the way, speaking of, have you gotten any new leads on Issei hyoudou? He potentially had a dragonic sacred gear and I was thinking of recruiting him into my peerage." Rias asks with un-hidden curiosity. "Sigh. No, I haven''t found anything and neither have the police, they seem to have just disappeared entirely. It might have been a stray devil but there are no signs of struggle, the only thing we''ve found is a 2 month old semen sample which doesn''t seem to belong to the husband. It''s possible that the mother of Issei had an affair and the family broke apart, going their separate ways and away from kuoh since this place reminds them of the affair, but that''s just a guess." Sona sighs and adjusts her glasses. "Do you have any information on the new student? What was his name again? Ira, was it?" Asks Rias, the stupid airhead. "No, All we know is that he''s from another part of Kuoh, and that he''s apparently really smart. Also very secretive, I tried questioning him earlier but he danced his way around my questions." Sona admits, She had indeed tried to question Ira, but failed greatly. There''s also very little information about him in the police records. Very little as in none at all, no birth record, no ID, no nothing, It''s almost as if he popped into existence all of a sudden. "Damn it, I''ll find a way to convince him to join my family, I''m sure of it." "You''re too optimistic, he''s a complete unknown and you''ve got little to offer, but you keep being you." says sona with a small frown on her face. Ira soulhearth has just gotten so much more interesting, and she''s not sure if she likes it or not. "I''m going to go discuss this Ira with my peerage, would you like to join us?" Asked rias, fully expecting Sona to reject the invitation, she only asked out of common courtesy. "No, I think I''ll pa-... Actually, yeah, I''ll come along." Rias was surprised, she had fully expected sona to say no¡­ what could''ve changed her mind? Sona was originally going to say no, but when she did she got a gut feeling that she should be there. Her gut feelings were rarely wrong. -Ira''s pov- I walk over to the older looking section of the school, this place is kinda like a maze honestly. I''ve re-hidden my sacred gear and stopped leaking mana at this point, just to surprise the devils a little bit. I''ve got a pretty good idea of what''s going to happen, but plans never go the way you expect them to, so I''m ready for a fight if one happens. People are unpredictable, especially teenagers. Devil teenagers. Is that worse or is that better? I can''t really tell. I walk up to the occult research club door and open it without hesitation, everyone''s heads swivel towards my direction and I give a little wave, hehehe. "We were discussing something important Ira-san, you can''t just walk into a room without knocking first. Don''t do it again, or I''ll have to give you detention." Sona scolds, I hadn''t expected her to be here, but whatever. "Are you gonna spank me in detention devil-san?" Sona looks like she''s about to scold me again but freezes slightly, I think she already suspected I knew about the supernatural, just because of the amount of mana I was releasing, it''s way above average for a human "How did you know about us being devils?" Gapes Rias, I''ll gape your ass soon you slut, I''m the one asking questions here! Wait, no I''m not¡­ "That doesn''t really matter right now, I''ve got an offer that you can''t refuse. I know about your marriage with riser, before you say anything, I can get you out of the marriage. Quite easily actually. We can negotiate the price of my services, my starting baseline is 3 favours from sirzechs. Your brother." I say, they all look stunned again but sona is the first one to recover. "How could you know about the marriage? You''re a human, and even if you were a devil that''s not knowledge that''s easily accessible." Asks sona still surprised, she suspected that this human wasn''t as simple as he seemed, but to this extent..? "You really don''t need to know that, I have my sources we can discuss this during break if you wish." I offer, they all seem to come back to earth and look slightly on edge, they probably don''t think I''m a danger so they''re not completely battle ready. I walk over to the sofa and sit down, it''s really really soft. Rias is still reeling from shock and a small amount of hope can be seen in her eyes. I know I won''t get 3 favours out of this but even 1 is fine, that''s all I need. "I''ll have to call my brother if you want favours from him, I''m sure he can get here in a few minutes if you can wait" Rias says, I really don''t want that. So I interrupt her before she can complete a message spell. "There''s really no need for that, you can discuss with your brother after our discussion, I don''t really want to disturb him you see, I''ve heard he''s quite a busy man." I say, perhaps a little too quickly as sona''s analysing eyes watch me like a hawk, oh boy she''s gonna be tough. "Oh, alright then, that''s fine I suppose. First of all I''d like to welcome you to the occult research club officially! All of us here are devils, except for you, I think." Rias says. "Yes, yes I know about devils, angels and fallen angels and whatnot, I also know about sacred gears. Let''s discuss our deal, I''m not great with small talk." Thats a true statement if I''ve ever said one. "Okay, How do you plan to help me get out of the marriage? Are you going to join my peerage? I promise to treat all my servants as family members, if you join me you''ll be in good hands!" she says with a gleam in her eyes, who said I''d be joining? "No, not quite." I say and watch as she slightly deflates. "I''ve done some reading up on rating games and I found a little rule saying that if you''re missing too many members and you''re fighting against someone with a full peerage, or close to full, you are allowed to hire outsider help, obviously this would be unfair if your brother could just hire a high-class devil to help you in your rating game, so you''re only allowed to hire low-class devils or humans. No other races." I say, giving her time to process the information. Akeno''s been gone all this while, she wasn''t even in the room when I first came in, probably making tea. Speak of the devil! There she is, fucking hot too. I use xray and watch as her massive tits bounce with each step she takes. I release control over my sacred gear and some of my mana to see her reaction. "Ara ara, such a massive mana reserve! It''s making me very excited. I assume you are Ira-san? Rias has been talking about you for the past 20 minutes. I am Akeno Himejima, would you like some tea?" She asks, damn she has a really sultry voice, but she stinks of virgin just like everyone else in here. "Yes, I''d love some" I say back with my best attempt at a sexy voice, I don''t know if it works or not. She pours me some tea and I thank her. I turn back to Rias and wait for her response, sona is just sitting back and staring at me with a weird gaze. Koneko is being koneko, and kiba looks slightly constipated. Or angry? Why the fuck is he angry? What did I do? "I don''t think my onii-san would agree to 3 favours, I also don''t even know if you''re any good at fighting. I''d have to see how good you are to see if you''re worth 3 favours. My onii-san wouldn''t do 3 either way, the most I can beg- I mean, get from him would be 1 at best. Even that would depend on how strong you are. I can sense that you''ve got quite bit mana reserves but if you don''t know how to use it then it''s not worth much, also, what rating game are you talking about? Why would my marriage be decided by a rating game?" She asks, she leans slightly forward as a poor seductress act and pouts slightly when I don''t look at her cleavage. Little does she know I widened my neural canals and the world slowed down by 400 times. My eyeballs cannot spin fast enough in their sockets to look at her boobs, it would take hours at the rate that my eyes spin. So I use telekinesis on my eyes and force them to look at her boobs, burning them into my memory with my photographic memory. I don''t need to do this since I have x-ray but I think it''s fun, and sometimes a partially clothed woman, or fully clothed woman in this case, is hotter than a naked woman. Prove me wrong fucker, I''ll twist your neck with telekinesis. I use telekinesis once again to revert my eyes back to their original position and stop speeding up my perception of time, that was fun. And they didn''t even notice! Mwahahaha, evil powers beings used for evil things! Bow before me! "Trust me, I can use my mana very well, I''m the strongest one in this room right now. Also, I guess he hasn''t visited you yet, riser is going to be visiting you very soon, he''s been getting persistent, has he not? He''s going to visit and propose a rating game with a little bet, if you win, then the marriage will be cancelled, if he wins, then you marry him before you graduate. Or that''s what I assume is going to happen." Crap, I screwed up a little, I forgot that riser doesn''t propose the rating game until later on, all the training in the forest has made my brain a little rusty. Rias''s eyes widen and sona nods slightly, she had suspected this but this just confirms her fears. She also wonders how this human knows about it beforehand. "How do you know that''s going to happen? The fact that Riser is getting persistent could just be because he''s getting impatient, or he simply wants to bed rias faster." Sona states "Conflicts are usually settled with rating games in devil society, are they not? Rias and Riser are having a conflict right now, it''s only logical." I say, she doesn''t seem pleased with the answer but I think she believes it. Probably. "Is there no way for me to convince you to join my peerage? I can give you some Special favours, I''m sure akeno here could teach you a thing or two, she''s quite experienced in these things." Rias says, wow¡­ whoring herself out to get out of a marriage? Wot? "Are you kidding? You both smell like virgins who''ve never even seen porn, if you saw a dick you''d both turn into blushing virgins within a second." I say, everyone in the room gains a tinge of red. Even kiba. "Damn kiba, you into yaoi shit or something?" He goes very red and I can''t say if it''s embarrassment or fury. Kiba looks fed up and bursts out "Can we please have a sparring match? Your arrogance knows no limits! You call yourself strong and think you can get favours from sirzechs!?" Ah, fury, I think. "Kiba! Apologize right now! It may be true that we have no idea how strong he is, and that he is indeed arrogant but that''s not reason to be so rude." scolds rias, Kiba seems put off from this but he continues glaring in my direction. "There''s no need to apologize, we can spar if you wish. I wouldn''t mind, you should have your best healer on hand though, I can only hold back so much." I say arrogantly, I don''t think I''ll kill him, mainly just because Rias would get pretty mad then, and I''d lose my favour with sirzechs, probably forever. Rias seems surprised but happy with the outcome. "Okay then, you can spar outside, a magic spell will keep people from noticing you two. Please try not to kill each other?" Everyone walks out of the occult building and onto the grass. We''re where kiba fought Irina and that other chick, I can''t care enough to remember her name. I stand at one side of the "field" and kiba stands at the other. Rias is our judge apparently. Sona is watching like a hawk and probably trying to guess how strong I am based off of this fight. Too bad for her, I won''t be giving a show. Koneko looks slightly worried, and is nibbling on some chocolate. Akeno is still slightly blushing from my comment and looks excited for the fight. Rias herself looks kind of worried for her knight, she doesn''t trust him I guess, or something. I cast inspect on Kiba before we fight. Name; Kiba Yuuto , The happy emo Level; 34 Class; Knight Race; Reincarnated devil Alignment; Chaotic-good Hp; 840 REGEN = 140/5minutes Mana; 160 REGEN = 130/5minutes SP; 700 REGEN = 420/60Secs STR; 31 END; 28 DEX; 110 INT; 16 Wis; 13 CHA; 29 LCK; 10 Reincarnated Devil [HP=END X 30] [HP REGEN=END X 5] Every 5 minutes [MANA=INT X 10] [MANA REGEN=WIS X 10] Every 3 minutes [SP=END X 25] [SP REGEN= END X 15] Every 60seconds So I was right, there''s no real advantage that compels me to become a devil, maybe if I became a high devil it would be worth it but that''s still pretty shit. My character creation really buffed my stats up by quite a bit huh? "Okay, both of you ready?" We both nod. "Okay, 3, 2, 1 Go!" I was planning on overpowering his will and just using telekinesis but I want to show off a little, what? I''ve been training for 2 months, I get to show off my cool powers and shit! I have another reason for this as well, I''ve been working on this technique for a while now, but never had a chance to test it against something super fast. There''s something super fast in front of me right now. Kiba immediately summons a sword, showcasing his sacred gear''s power, not even trying to hide it. What a dumbass, honestly. He rushed forward with the intent of skewering me, if I had normal human eyes he''d be a blur right now but I don''t have normal human eyes, he''s speeding towards me and will reach in about a second, good thing I can think so fast. It''s time to test out my move, let''s hope I don''t get too hurt from this, that''d suck. "Widen neural canals" I say in a deep, ancient voice, I like to sound cool, so what? The world slows by 400 times, and kiba get stuck in midair. Now, here''s the problem you all can probably see, if kiba is stuck in the air, aren''t I? Why yes, of course I am, my muscles simply can''t respond fast enough to be moved at 400 times slowed speed. I''m still faster than kiba since my dex is higher, but we''re both sluggishly slow. This is where telekinesis comes into play. I use telekinesis to grab my entire body, and use myself as a puppet. I can''t exert this much force on my body in normal speed since I''d go flying off into the forest, but since it''s 400times speed, I''m just moving like I was regularly walking. It takes me a while to get used to moving with telekinesis, and I can feel my muscles tearing from the insane amount of gforce that I''m pulling off, I need to end this soon or I might become a cripple, I''ve used this technique before and it''s never been too bad, so I''m not worried too much. I''m actually breaking the sound barrier every time I move, I''m not sure how the air around me isn''t tearing me to literal pieces for moving that fast, but I''ll just use the excuse of magic. Yep, magic is preventing me from being torn to pieces, losing my consciousness, whiplash, fierce wind and etc. Makes a lotta sense. I walk over to kiba and notice that he''s only moved about 1mm since I''ve entered what I like to call Phase shift. *Phase Shift* *You use widen neural canals along with telekinesis to be able to move even while time is ground to a halt. (for you)* Mp cost= Widen neural canals+telekinesis. I think the name is just cool. However, this also means that anything I punch or even touch, will get 400times the normal momentum from my fist, which in layman''s term means "Splat" So I have to hold back greatly, very very very greatly to not utterly destroy Kiba, as much as I want to. So I take my palm, and ever so slightly push against Kiba''s chest, that probably won''t kill him¡­ Probably. I walk back to my previous spot and wait to see his reaction, my muscles have stopped tearing up since I''m not moving anymore, the damage isn''t too bad. After a few minutes Kiba''s eyes widen and I can see surprise and genuine terror in them. That''s good enough for me, I cancel my phase shift. Everything speeds up again. -Thirdpersonpov- Everything was going as planned in her head, Kiba being the fool he is challenged Ira to a fight, she contemplated stopping the fight and using her power as a council member to do it, but she was too curious about the power of this strange man. She thought she''d be able to at least assess or put a guess as to how strong he is. Never before in her life had she been so wrong. As soon as the match started Kiba rushed towards Ira, and Ira seemed to just stand there, intending to take the sword straight through the chest, kiba would probably have stopped right before skewering him if he didn''t do anything, but then the next second, no, not even second, everything changed. Ira didn''t do anything, no, nothing at all. His silhouette seemed to slightly move, but that was it. Kiba on the other hand¡­ Kiba was currently being flung through several trees, outside the range of the spell. Someone will have to erase some memories it seems. You could hear his blood curdling scream as he flew through the trees. 1 tree, 2 trees, 12 trees. He finally stopped at 12 trees, all of his bones are probably broken and he has a small chance of living unless treated with healing magic. "Oops, uh, I really, really tried holding back, I literally just touched him with my palm, sorry?" Ira says, everyone looks at him, rias with anger, koneko with fear and anger, sona with an unknown look, and akeno with a look of anger and slight lust. But mostly anger. "That was uncalled for! This was a spar! A SPAR! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID! My knight probably won''t survive this! If he dies¡­ I''ll DESTROY YOU!" Rias seethes with unmatched venom. She rushed off into the forest and everyone follows. "Ara ara, that was a very terrible thing to do Ira-san, if you truly meant to hold back, then perhaps there is a way for you to save Kiba? I''ll be sure to pay you back, Very well fufufufu" Akeno says with a sultry laugh, She''s taking a slightly different approach. She''s internally panicking for Kiba but has no idea if her healing magic will be enough, so she''s hoping that Ira will have some sort of expertise in healing magic, he has lots of mana after all. Surely it''s for something? -Ira''s pov- I truly meant to hold back more than that, this is why you have to test moves! Honestly, that could''ve been a disaster, Kiba isn''t too valuable to cry over, he''ll probably survive anyway. But¡­ Wait¡­ He''d have to be healed¡­ by rias and akeno¡­ with max skin contact¡­ My greed instantly gets lit by the fury of Satan himself, No one shall cuddle with cute girls that I plan on cuddling with in the future. NO ONE! I slowly start losing control over my mana and sacred gear before Gamers mind kicks in, my greed slowly vanishing, just a single thought among a sea of willpower. I totally didn''t lose control there. "Ara ara, that was a very terrible thing to do Ira-san, if you truly meant to hold back, then perhaps there is a way for you to save Kiba? I''ll be sure to pay you back, Very well fufufufu" Ah, this is an opportunity¡­ But how do I heal him? I have insane amounts of mana but I didn''t really focus on healing spells. My regen is insanely good so I have no worries about that. Ignore my currently bleeding skin. I decide that this is a good use for my credits since I''ll probably use the healing spell on myself later on. *Ping* *System recommends user gets "Gift of runic healing." for 700000credits, original price is 7000000credits! 90% discount for user!* That''s super fucking suspicious, the system NEVER recommends anything¡­ It doesn''t give me a description of the spell either, this is probably some kind of trap. 90% discount my left nut, that''s probably a shitty spell worth half of what it currently costs. No, I''m not buying your shitty spell. "System shop, buy Mana Healing" *Ping* *User has bought Mana healing for 42000C! Enjoy!* *Mana healing, uses mana to heal injuries. Hp restored depends on mana used. Conversion rate= 1hp for 5 mana.* Most would think this is a pretty bad spell considering the mana cost for healing. But for someone like me with 20500 mana, I think I''m good. "Ah, I sure can, but what kind of repayment would you be able to provide? I assume it''s a fun kind of compensation?" I ask with a smug smile on my face, she probably said she''d repay me very well as a way to try and exploit the fact that I''m a teenager. And it''s working. "Ara ara, are you a gambling man Ira-kun? If you can heal Kiba then I''ll give you a surprise fufufu~" She says, Inwardly she''s panicking once again for an entirely different reason, she was gambling on the fact that Ira has SOME morals, but she hadn''t expected him to take her up on her deal, this was bad. She had to admit that Ira was devilishly handsome, even if he was a human. But she was a virgin! What was she meant to do when someone actually calls her out on her shameless attitude!? This has never happened before. Maybe she can pretend like this just never happened, surely Ira wouldn''t force the issue? Right? We reach Kiba and everyone does a collective surprised gasp, why are you guys fucking suprised? He flew through like 12 trees, obviously he''s gonna look pretty bad. Rias looks like she''s about to cry but it''s overshadowed by anger "You¡­ You did this on purpose, didn''t you? You didn''t like the fact that Kiba was calling you out, so you killed him!" She roars, I mean, technically speaking he''s still alive¡­ She starts glowing with a faint red aura and holds out her palm, Summoning an orb of destruction. Before sona or anyone else can stop her and inform her that Kiba isn''t dead, she launches it straight at me. Huh, didn''t expect this. I mean I did but didn''t think she''d have the balls. Time for another magic test then I guess. Rias only has 42Int and 32Wis, so I should be easily able to overpower her will. I use mana manipulation (outer) and take control of the orb of destruction, it tries to destroy the foreign mana but I''m constantly inputting the command of "Ignore foreign mana" and so it can''t destroy it, my mana quickly fills the orb and gives me full control. I don''t want them to realise I can do this so I just snuff the orb out of existence. Everyone gapes and looks at me with round eyes. "Calm your tits Rias, your boy toy''s still alive. I''ll even heal him without expense" Rias''s eyes widen and she looks at me warily "Okay, but I''m not owning you anything for healing him, I admit that I can''t heal him from the state that he''s in." I nod and walk up to Kiba''s body, nearly a corpse. I whisper under my breath to make it look like I''m casting a human spell and a faint green shine comes out from my hands. I unleash some of my mana into the spell and a heavy pressure starts eroding the ground underneath me, this usually happens when I release around 6000mana, it seems to have an erosion effect of some sort. Since Kiba is actively losing blood and has broken bones it takes more mana than 4200, I have to constantly replenish his HP while his broken bones fix themselves. I end up using about 9000 mana on him and after a minute of mana intensive labour he''s fine. Unconcious as fuck but fine. The woman behind me are shaking in their shoes and looking awed. I''m not sure if they''re awed by my amazingness or the fact that I have a healing spell that rivals twilight healing. They all get out of shock fairly quickly and go to Kiba''s side to check him for any injuries. I literally just healed him but alright. "That was amazing! What kind of spell was that? Why did your mana erode the ground underneath you? How did you even use so much mana? That was nearly Ultimate-class levels of mana! Are you sure you don''t want to join my peerage? I''ll make it worth your time" Rias fires off question after question and I shake my head at her immaturity, her knight just nearly died but she forgot all about it in seconds, weirdo. "I''m not joining your peerage. The rest of the questions I''m not willing to answer, I hope this proves the fact that I''m strong enough to help, I''m not a high-class devil or any race other than human. 1 favour from sirzechs is all I ask. Akeno, I''ll be waiting for that special reward" Rias looks confused by my last sentence but Akeno merely nods meekly and blushes a lot. Sona probably heard what Akeno and I were speaking about earlier so she has a concerned look on her face. Koneko is being koneko but with a tiny tilt to her head, how cute. I walk over to koneko and she looks up at me, curiously, I don''t see any fear in her eyes but there is caution. I bend down and pat her on the head, Pet. Pet. Pet. Pet. She starts purring and runs away from under my hand, blushing slightly. Getting petting up to 100/100 was worth it. I smile and start walking away. "I''ll be back in 7 days, I predict that that''s when riser is going to issue the rating game to settle this marriage. Don''t ask why, it''s just a gut feeling." I say, Sona doesn''t believe me but that''s fine, no one asks how I know. We all walk out of the forest with koneko carrying Kiba and realise that break has been over for an hour, woops? I mean, school isn''t that important anyway. Killing people is more important. Probably.
