That glorious bastard did it. D gave him the gamer ability, somehow. Just, what was he going to do now? "Duh, skills," Ark said.
Skills
A Gamer's mind (Passive)
Allows the user to make decisions that selfishly benefit the user. The mind is immune to psychological Status and effects.
A Gamer's Body (Passive)
The users body is filled with warp energies. This allows the user's body to function like a video game character's.
He was getting the hang of it. So, D filled his body with vast amounts of warp energies and that altered it somehow. Ark was a demon, he didn't really know how to feel about being human again. In another life, he would have panicked. His mind felt like a sea of calm.

So, he didn't want to know, what would happen if he messed up the first quest. Great, that was very demon of the gamer mechanic.
His stats sucked, but he needed to go outside. Ark quickly weighed his options and walked outside. What greeted him was a world filled with Japanese advertisements. He was in Japan.
Ark waited for the completion notice but there was none. Everywhere he looked there was Japanese writing. He didn't speak Japanese.

Ark waited a moment and closed the door. He would have to do something to make himself feel better. Pushups seemed like a good idea.

Great, he increased his physical power from 1 to 2. Ark knew he was on the cusp of physical superiority over the humans. Every pushup was a victory for demon kind.

"Take that humanity. Demon kind shall conquer you yet." Ark said, hours passed.

Pushups, had quickly become light to his growing strength. Ark felt confident, that his superior body could handle anything the world had in store for him.
He stepped out of his apartment and saw a purple haired woman. Ping! Ark should turn down the game noise.

A mysterious figure probably dangerous.
Ark wanted nothing to do with her. The second he saw the words dangerous flashbacks went off in his head. Not to mention the name Rize was ringing hell's bells. "Deal, I never had my ass." Ark said.
"Excuse me." Rize said. She looked up at him, with the eyes of someone who just saw a glazed ham. There was drool running down her mouth. "Oh, pardon me you look so handsome, that I had to pause. My name is Kamishiro Rize." Ark felt his pants tightened and the memory of four tentacles impaling a human Kaneki Ken flashed before his eyes.
Ark bowed. Ping!

"I see very well, I accept. Thank you for allowing me to stay the night." Ark's eyes widened to the point they almost bugged out of his head.

That was it then. He had to invite Rize in and somehow survive the night. Ark opened the door and Rize walked up the stairs. Her every step made his heart race.
"So, what do you do for fun?" Ark asked. He hoped it was something mundane and not making art work with guts.
"That is an interesting question. A little of this and that. Oh, and literature, have you read this book?" Rize said. He Observed it.

Rize has heavily read this book. Many chapters are folded for quick perusal. She often uses it for conversation starters. Those conversations are often with her victims.
"I'm afraid, I have never read it. My Japanese isn't good enough yet. If they had an English version, I would be all for it." Ark said.
He saw Rize raise an eyebrow, her lips tightened a bit, and the smile returned. Ark wanted to yell got ya bitch. Was the book that important?
"Most who come here are here for the literature or the women. Sometimes men, but I don't think you're here for that, you don't look the type." Did she just call him gay?
"You got me. I'm here to force myself to learn the language and enjoy the sexless Otaku life style. I hear it's the safest profession there is." She smiled a bit.
"Where is your English to Japanese dictionary? I could help you." Ark had no idea if he had one here or not. He walked to the bookshelf, careful to keep his back away from her.
There were many books that aligned the bookshelf. Most of them manga. There were a few self-help books. Ark looked down and opened a drawer. There in the drawer was an old English to Japanese book. He picked it out of the drawer and turned back to his guest.
Rize was watching him like a cat would a mouse. His every step could cause her to pounce. Ark doubted his measly 10 Str would do anything.
Ping!
You have made a wise choice. Your wisdom has increased by 1.

Shaking off the randomness he sat across from Rize. She smiled and twisted the end of her hair. "Wow this is an old one. Did you buy it at a bargain store?" Ark shrugged his shoulders. At least he wasn't hearing stomach growls coming from her.
She wrote down many phrases in romaji, hiragana, and kanji. "Remember Kanji separate words in sentences." Rize said. Was this an AU Rize or was this how she was full? Maybe, this was to keep Rize entertained, while she waits for him to get tired.
Ping!

They had been at it for hours. Ark had somehow relaxed. Rize was fun to be around, when she wasn't after his giblets.
"It's getting late Rize. I can make the bed up if you want it." She smiled and bowed.
"That is very considerate of you. Though, I can't impose more than I already have." Ark looked over at the clock. It was 1am, it felt like sunrise. He knew that he could keep going.
"I don't really sleep anymore. Insomnia problems, I will play games or something all night, while I wait for the knowledge to digest." Her lips tightened, it was one of her tells. Ark was getting to like Rize, even if this one was a mask.
"I could stay up with you. You know, I am quite the gamer myself. What kind of games do you normally play?" Rize said. Her eyes shined a bit. Rize's lips didn't tighten, nor did her eyes crinkle. She really did enjoy games.
Ping!
New skill
Micro facial recognition lv1
The easiest way to tell if someone is lying is by their face. Lies have a habit of making even the best lyres twitch. You notice the twitches but don't know what they mean.
Great another skill that wasn't combat oriented. Ark pulled what games where left here for him by D. P5 was here, along with D5. Ultimately, he chose borderlands 2. There was something about shooting people that made him feel warm and fuzzy.
Ark popped the game in the ps4 and handed the other controller to Rize. She took a scrunchy out of her jacket pocket and put her hair up in a ponytail. Very little was seen of Rize in the anime and manga, now that he thought about it.
He was starting to see another side of her. Ark just wanted to know when the mask came off. How long before she grew board and ate him alive? If he survived this night, then he would have to train. She could only be his friend, when he was no longer on the menu.
"You keep looking at me with those intense eyes. It makes me think you might have figured something out about me. Tell me Ark san what's on your mind." She was changing the color of her character. She chose purple hair and crimson clothes.
The look in her eyes were daring. Ark knew that if he said anything he was dead. This was a game, so he had to play just as hard as he would on borderlands.
"Despite our time together this evening. You are still a stranger Rize. Is it wrong of me to vet you a little?" A small smile crossed her face. The first genuine one since Rize walked through his door.
"In a world full of ghouls, I would doubt your survival instincts if you didn't." The sides of her smile stretched a bit too wide, before returning to normal.
"I don't believe ghouls exist." She blinked. Then she laughed out loud. She rubbed a tear from her eyes.
"Really now, how to you rationalize that with the CCG running around killing them. Or the number of humans killed by us every year." Ark ignored the slip up. It was getting late. Most of her prey were either asleep or close enough to bite. Ark ensured he was in a chair on the other side of the room.
Rize yawned, just as they arrived at the main city.
Ping!

Ark felt his control over his body increase slightly. "Want to watch a movie?" Rize shrugged her shoulders and yawned again.
"Turn on something funny or gory." Ark turned on Vampires Suck. Scenes of Charlie with a sex doll and Edward riding a moped brought a few laughs. Truthfully, Ark thought Bella could have been replaced by a blow-up doll or even a triple fab.
He could imagine Jacob finding the toy in Charlie's room. Jacob takes it and Edward steals it. His mind was filled with horny vampires fighting over a rubber vagina, ass, and mouth.
"What's so funny?" Rize said, she yawned again. She gave up on covering her mouth a long time ago. By the end of the movie, Rize was snoring on his couch.
"Oh, nothing. I just had a mad thought." Ark said.
"Really, what about." Rize said.
"Well imagine twilight, with Bella replaced with a triple fab." Ark said. She blinked and blinked again. Then she laughed Obnoxiously.
"That is incredible." Rize said.
Ark used Observe on her.

He opened his eyes to a world filled with blood and flesh. The ground was human skin wounds lanced along it. Blood pooled in places.

Ark blinked and pocketed his hands. These creatures were territorial and dangerous. They were also lv1. As a lv2 he felt his chances were pretty good.
The ground was a pale yellow and it was flat, aside from hill like growths. He was confident there were no other Blood Thirsters around. Ark crouched down and began to walk slowly towards the demon. He had no idea what he would do. Maybe he would beat it to death.

Ark needed to level up and why not a quest. He of course hit Yes. Taking a deep breath, he quickly concluded, that he needed something other than his choking hands to win. After a minute, his health had only recovered 10. That left him with 72 health.
He thought about using the blood stone. Ark shook his head, he couldn't waste something that healed him.
Clock

Dream ends at 10:00 am
Why was that listed on the clock? Sure, it was useful. But wouldn't the time of the dreams end, be better placed on the quest? No, he thought not.
The answer to his problem was simple. He needed magic. Ark didn't know any magic spells. He had no skills that even used magic.
He could feel the magic in his body. It was there. Ark touched it.

So, he could control 10Mp. That meant that all skills that took more than 10Mp were out of his reach. That is until he leveled up the skill. The question was what could he do with 10Mp.
Ark got in Goku's classic stance. He cupped his hands together. "Ka," Ark took his mana and forced it all into a single point. Between his hands the mana constantly tried to break free and flow out. "Me," he reached his limit quickly. 10mp was constantly trying to escape from the point in his cupped hands. "Ha me," he aimed for his target, a nearby hill of flesh. Ark was ready the energy continuously tried to break free, he could use no more energy. "Ha," Ark pointed his cupped hands at the target. He allowed the energy to flow out through an opening in his control.

The mana was bright, too bright. The BloodThirsters saw him. They turned their heads and screeched. Others began to crawl from the blood pools.
Ark had to wait for them to get close. Despite Ark's gains in his skills closer enemies were easier to hit. 15Mp was set aside for distance, the other 35 was for damage.
"Ka-me-ha-me-ha," Ark yelled and unleashed a blue beam of death. Every second he unleashed it took 40Mp.

A sense of pride welled up in his chest at his own power. He was a mere level three and he took down three demons with stats that put him to shame.
Ark knew that he only won through preparation. He decided to enjoy it while he could. Something would kick him to his ass soon enough.
Ark lowered his hand and scooped up some blood. He used Observe.

Wrathful blood
This blood is a liquid form of wrath. When consumed it grants some xp. Xp gained is double for wrathful demons. Can be used to quench a weapon after forging. +damage of bladed weapons.
Ark didn't hadn't taken his eyes off the demon. It crawled slowly towards the blood pool. Small horns poked from its head. It would take decades of drinking blood before it looked like a true Bloodthrister.
He had to kill this thing before it healed. Ark could feel his mana returning. Anything below the 50damage couldn't get through this creature's hide. It was the high vitality. Its health spoke for itself. At level 2 this creature had 400Hp. It had to have at least 50Vit for that. At level 3, it would have another 150 added to its Hp.
Three minutes pass and Ark saw his mana bar was over 40Mp. He felt like a rag freshly wet after being squeezed out. Still, he cupped his hands and focused his mana.
"Ka-me-ha-me-ha." Ark yelled and fired a close-range blast with his remaining mana.

He heard something bubble in the pound. Bubbles of air flew up out of the pound. Something was there.
The pound began to ripple as whatever was within moved. Horns peaked above the pool. Sloshing footsteps slowly heralded this creature's escape from the pound. Ark ran and crouched behind a fleshy mound.
He dropped into sneak mode and held his breath. The creature walked and blood dripped everywhere. It was looking for him. Ark could hear it move frantically.

This creature is a level 4 Bloodthirster. It has vast vitality tested in combat over blood pools. Its skin is resistant against all but the strongest of weapons and skills.
Ark could already picture how that fight would play out. He would leap to cover and use the Kamehameha. The creature would walk through it and tear Ark limb from limb. He had no intention of that happening.
He waited for the Bloodthirster to turn its head. Ark crept to another mound. It was only 6am. He had plenty of time to train and kill the stronger ones. Ping!

Ark waited for the creature to lose interest and return to the blood pool. Taking a deep breath Ark walked back to one of his previous battle grounds.
The fact that a level 4 wasn't the strongest creature here was telling. Ark cupped his hands and unleashed another Kamehameha. He was going for endurance. The attack only went a few meters and dissipated. Ark continued to unleash the attack until his mana dropped.

The Bloodthirster stepped back and thrust his sword through the barriers. 5 barriers broke before his eyes. Ark replaced them his mana was running low. They were all one barrier the drain wouldn't be so bad. That was not the case.

Ark did the math. He couldn't win this fight. The demon stepped back and circled Ark. Ark took off running. Ark dropped his barriers to 5. The Bloodthrister chased after him. Ping!

Ark didn't grow tired and he was faster than the demon behind him. He heard a clatter. Turning his head, the Bloodthirster dropped both of his weapons. He was running at Ark full sprint.
It was still hours until Rize awoke. Ark was on his own in her demon infested dreams. It was no wonder she was a crazy binge eater.
The demon was closing in but that wasn't a bad thing. The farther the bloodthirster was from his weapons the better. Ark had to keep running.
Eventually, just before the demon caught him, Ark stopped. The demon didn't stop he kept running for Ark. It rammed into his barrier.
The demon slashed at his barrier with its claws. Every attack destroyed a barrier. Ark kept replacing them.
Ark cupped his hands as his barriers fell. This was his only chance. "Kamehameha," Ark yelled.
A blue beam erupted from his cupped hands. The demon's flesh held out for a 1/6th a second. Once the wound opened the blue beam travel into it. Pieces of the demon flaked off much to Ark's delight.

Ark took a deep breath. He nearly died. Not because he wasn't paying attention. No, he fought an enemy far beyond his capabilities. If he wanted to survive. He would have to train much harder.
There was a blood pool nearby. This place was littered with them. There were 8 of the creatures all level 1. He cupped his hands and unleashed hell upon them.

Ark put a hand to his face and rubbed his eyes. He had to get out of this place. If he didn't it would kill him. As a demon, there were certain innate skills he possessed. Such as entering and exiting dreams.
He placed his hand in front of him. There were no other demons around to disrupt his concentration. Ark forced his mana into a point then willed that point to stretch. Space opened and Ark was spat out of the dreamscape.
When next he opened his eyes, he was sitting in the lounge chair. He took a deep breath and let it out. He was finally safe from Rize's dreams. He left his mana barrier up and drifted off for a few minutes.

Ok, I went back and studies how other people do gamer fics. Writing style isn't plagiarism. Anyway, this was fun. I didn't expect this format to flow like it did. Even the stat points weren't really a pain to issue out. It felt like I was playing a character. I should have grinded more but yea that's games for you.
Rize and Ark's relationship will continue to evolve as he does quests that revolves around her. He will begin to see the real Rize and not the mask she shows him.
