Author notes: Hi guys this is my first attempt at a Fic, because of this i would appreciate constructive feedback as well as what you guys like so that i know what to include more of in the future. I won't delete flames but i won't respond to them either, if you have a good idea or a request pm me and I'll see if it fits into the story. If it doesn't make it in don't worry if I like writing I may end up writing another story some time down the line.

Now about the story, since I almost exclusively read stories with over 100K words I will keep myself to the same standard so long as I stay interested. The story will have elements of the popular(i think) Korean manga "The Gamer" and other Animes, Light novels and Games. I was inspired by a certain fic written by "ImBoredSoJustDoingRandomFanfic".

Just as a quick side note I am not someone who spends all days on wikis i know the basics but i will not know a lot of details, so if you guys see any huge mistakes please notify me. the smaller ones I'll just let through and chalk it up to it being an AU. I get to choose right isn't that what Fanfic's all about right.

Day 1: A new beginning

Friday 02,07.19xx

PING

"huh, what is this" asked a confused Jason.

Congratulations player: Jason Ridge, you have been selected for our beta test. We will supply you with the powers known as "The Gamer". They are based off of the popular Korean manga series going by the same name.

"what..."

"I think I'm going crazy" He said to himself.

Most certainly not my good fellow, you will now be supplied with the basic information pertaining to these new powers you may pass out for a few hours so we hope you have a good excuse for your teachers.

"Alright that's it what the hell is going on..."and then he passed out.

About an hour later

Jason woke up and looked at his alarm clock which currently read 8:25

"oh shit I'm going to be late" he said as he proceeded to through on his clothes, grabbed his bag and ran out the door.

Jason lived alone in a small dorm room supplied by the school ever since his parents died 15 years ago he had been on his own. he went from family to family but eventfully everyone sent him back because of either his looks or because he was troublemaker.

When he was younger he was often bullied because he was overweight or because of his unnatural hair which was raven black with a few white stripes, but after years of bullying he decided it was time for action, he trained every day, studied harder than anyone else and even went so far as to learn fight with blades and bows. He was alright with spears but the thing he prided himself on most was his archery, he could shoot moving targets from up to 100 meters away.(AN: I don't know much about archery so don't judge if that is something most people can do. just chalk it up to being an AU.)

while he made his way to school he noticed an odd rectangle in the corner of his eyes. he had been in so much of a hurry earlier he simply didn't notice.

"what is this" asked a confused Jason.'maybe I wasn't dreaming after all' he thought to himself. "lets see, this box here says something" the box displayed 2 options, do you wish to integrate previous knowledge with the system?

yes or no.

he selected yes and the rectangle dissipated as he felt a surge of power go through him. Now there was one other thing he used to get bullied for and that was an interest that had stuck with him even through the harsh training regimen and ludicrous amounts of studying, that was he was a pretty hardcore otaku, and best of all he had read the manga these powers claimed to be based on.

'lets see what was the command again'. "ah yes that's right, status" he whispered.

"hmm I wonder"he said to himself as he grabbed his light novel by the title of Overlord out of his bag.

PING

you have touched a skill book, do you wish to transfer knowledge of Ygdrasil combat system?

yes or no.

He selected yes and got another notification.

Your intelligence is currently insufficient for this process, for every worlds knowledge you want to transfer you require 50 int.

'well that sucks. Guess I'm going grinding later, but first I should hurry up and get to class.'

One mad dash later

"Ah mister Jason I see you're late."the teacher said before continuing. "so do you mind explaining you're late?" he asked with mild curiosity. Jason had not missed a single day of school up to now in his years of schooling, so sufficed to say the teacher was surprised.

"Sorry sir I overslept, won't happen again."Jason said while a few of his classmates snickered.

"See to it that it doesn't." the teacher said before pointing him to his seat.

"Now then, let us continue with the class." the teacher said.

Jason sat in class taking notes until the bell rang, which was when he got another one of those annoying sounds go off in his head.

PING

you have paid attention in class, INT has gone up by 2.

'oh sweet' Jason thought. 'it really is similar to the manga'

the day went on and after before lunch his INT, AGI and STR had all increased thanks to PE and physics class.

'you know if I had gotten this earlier training and studying would have been a lot easier'he mused when a question popped up in his mind.'wait have my years of practicing carried over or was that all a wasted effort?'

"skills." he said with hope evident in his voice.

Skill list

The gamers mind(passive):

LVL:MAX

Racial Abilities

Reincarnation:

You are human thus you are weak, we will, however, throw you a bone. Once you reach level 100 you will be able to reincarnate. After reincarnation you will have a 100%increase in stat gain from levelup(currently 100 for HP and MP, 2 for STR, AGI, INT and WIS and 1 for luck) as well as gaining double the amount of bonus points that can be used to up stats(current 5 per level up).

After each reincarnation you will gain an extra reward, you can max out one of your skills, while every 3 reincarnations you will be able to gain a racial bonus(those are secrets for now). Now, of course, this doesn't come without drawbacks. Leveling up will become increasingly difficult. you need 10%more exp for every level up.

"holy shit." he said between bites of his lunch. "well I guess I better get back to class and increase my stats as much as possible"

Later that day, after school.

'Alright I raise everything except for my luck during school, guess it doesn't feel like as much of a waste of time if I gain free stat points from it' he thought while he was heading home.

Once he got home he picked up his bat and saw there were a few scratches on it.

PING

A new skill has been created through a special action. skill name: Observe

Observe: Mana cost 0

You can see the stats of items, people and other things.

LVL:1/100 0%

"hmm, I had better level up my ID skills so I can grind some levels.

"ID Create, ID Escape, ID create, ID Escape , ID create, ID Escape , ID create, ID Escape , ID create, ID Escape."

"aaaah my head what the hell is this!" he screamed. "oh right mana deficiency, sigh guess this is going to take a while."

A few hours later

ID level to LVL 5

new ID available ID-zombies.

"Alright time to grind" he exclaimed in an excited fashion.

ID Create zombies

"I should probably have done this outside... oh well" he said as he observed and the proceeded to bash in the first zombies head. "you know this is a lot easier than I thought it would be" he said while continuing to mow down the hordes of zombies.

About an hour later

"ID Escape" he said exhausted

ID Escape is currently unavailable please kill the mini-boss before exiting

"huh" he asked with mild confusion, but before long he realized his mistake."shit, I saw this in the manga as well. I should have known not to kill too many zombies in one go." as he charged towards the Legion zombie.

One long fight later with a few hits that were to close for comfort

"ID Escape"

You have leveled up(x22)

One of your skills: Observe has leveled up(x16)

Observe: Mana cost 0

You can see the stats of items, people and other things.

LVL:16/100 23%

congratulations you have reached level 10 you have received your first milestone reward

50,000 and 10 level 5 skill discs have been added to your inventory

"holy smoked my stats should have increased nicely now." He said still slightly annoyed that he had to fight the Legion zombie. "Inventory" He said as he looked in his inventory. He saw around 10 Hp and MP potions, a skill book for mana control, a lot of brain residue and a few other items he really wished hadn't seen. He then saw a trash icon and clicked it.

Do you wish to discard items with no value? Yes or No.

And so all the waste materials the zombies left behind were deleted.

"Alright time to see how we did" "status." He said a little excited.

"now then I should have enough INT to take in one of the worlds, but the question is which one?" as he pondered he considered many options that involved both offense and defense oriented.

he now had his choices narrowed down to two, one was his favorite game: "The Witcher 3 wild hunt" the other was one of his favorite animes:"Overlord". the defining point would be what happened to his body if he chose either. would he become like Ainz, an undead devoid of emotion if he chose Overlord. Would he become a wicther if he chose "The Witcher" game. He truly didn't know, so he would have to take a leap of faith.

He decided to shove all his manga, games, books and anime in his inventory and the picked out The Witcher 3, in his opinion there where less risks that came with choosing The Witcher, since even if he became a witcher the most defining feature that people could identify him by would be his eyes, which he could cover with contacts if people started to bother him about it.

"You have picked up a world-disc do you wish to have the knowledge and powers of: "The Witcher 3 wild hunt Game of the year edition" added to your repository? yes or no.

Warning in doing this you will activate the second sequence of our version of "The Gamer"."

"huh, the second sequence what could that mean? Well it's not like it matters anyway whatever it throws at me now I'll deal with on my own just as I always have."

PING

"through a realization you have gained a dormant title: He who walks alone."

He who walks alone:

A title given to those who have done almost everything alone and through their own power. This title grants you a 100% increase in stats as well as double XP when you fight alone, if you fight in a group but are outnumbered you still gain a 50% stat increase however you don'g gain any extra XP. (effects are also in affect when the title is unequipped

"well I guess that would have been nice before but whatever I guess I'll take what i can get" he said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Now then time to see what happens." he selected yes and immediately it felt like his brain was about to burst open because of all the information being added.

After a few minutes of intense agony, he finally calmed down enough to see the rectangular box in front of his eyes.

All new skills are currently locked please visit our store to unlock them, we swear this isn't a cash grab... well maybe it is but you can't do anything about it.

'holy shit, those are a lot of things to remember and what is this about a shop? Well it's a good thing my INT is so high my memory is pretty much perfect now.' "so what was that second sequence and shop you were talking about?

"You have been selected for our multidimensional interplanetary travel beta test in 10 minutes you will be teleported to our guidance room where you will be given an explanation, a few items and even some abilities, you will however not be able to re-enter this world so take anything you believe is worth it with you."

'well, I already grabbed all of my so called world discs so I think I'll probably need a weapon.' so he grabbed his swords daggers and his bat, put the min his inventory and waited for the teleportation to commence.

After a few minutes he was teleported to a pitch-black room with a single light hanging above an interrogation table and a chair that had a note that read "please have a seat". as he sat down he heard a now familiar sound go off in his head.

PING

welcome to our slightly more depressing version of the velvet room, this is where you will be brought in-between dimensions. on the table you will find a box containing the skill books: Summon familiar and mana control(which we stole from your inventory) and a set of 3 teleportion seals in case you run into some serious trouble. also you now have access to our inter-dimensional shopping system known as the velvet store, simply ask for a door to the store and it shall appear before you. Do not worry nobody else can see it.

You should also see a full set of "Master crafted Feline gear" as a gift since you chose "The Witcher 3" as your first world disc. it has been enchanted to be self repairing outside of combat so do not worry, even if it is completely destroyed it will simply return to your inventory. You have also recived CG EMIYA's bow and a quiver with an infinite arrow enchantment both of which have the armors self-repairing and inventory return enchantments.

Now then on to the main event, you will get a few options to chose from when int comes to the world you want to go to first, we do however recommend not choosing some of the harder ones because if you died we would have to find a replacement. you are hour only beta tester so we hope you keep this in mind when making your choice.

sufficed to say Jason was shocked, he knew he shouldn't have been because he should have expected something as ridiculous as this. when he got back to reality he saw 3 options displayed. "High school DXD", "Bleach" and "Overlord". he couldn't comprehend this the system had told him not to choose a hard one and then it gave him 3 choices where two of them where almost guaranteed death-sentences.

He pondered for a few minutes and then selected High school DXD, he had no intention of dying just yet. He was then promptly offered 3 more options, "Easy(75% XP and money)", "Normal(100% XP and money)" and "Hard(125% XP and Money)" he assumed that the enemies would receive similar increases in stats and he had played many games where hard mode was just simply a mode for masochists so he chose normal mode. after which he was greeted by an all to familiar sound.

PING

you have selected: High school DXD normal mode. Please select when you would like to arrive in this world.

He got two options, one year before season 1 or 3 days before season 1. then he promptly pressed one year before season 1. he figured he could use that time to fiddle around with is skills a bit and maybe even max out a few.

PING

you have selected one year in advance. we will send you over in a moment. please heed our warnings a do try not to die.

He was greeted by a bright flash of light and then proceeded to blacked out.
