Different World with the Katekyo System
Chapter 1
Nicholas was excited; today was the final day of class before winter break and he had the whole vacation planned out. He would binge watch several Anime as well as play the new Monster Hunter video game that came out. But that wasn't what he was excited the most about. Today he received an email from a friend stating that the new season for Katekyo Hitman Reborn was going to be launched today at six.
Nicholas had been a nerd, geek gamer whatever you want to call him for most of his life but the one Anime he had always been obsessed about was the Hitman Reborn Anime. The fights, the animation, lore, the humor everything was perfect. He was sad when the Anime didn't follow the Manga but that was about to change today.
He told his friends that he couldn't hang out with them today, that he was busy with housework. Before rushing home with a box of meat lovers pizza and a coke. He turned off all the lights and sat in front of the computer taking a big bite of his pizza counting down the minutes before the server released the new episode.
"This is going to be great, can't wait for the Inheritance Arc and the battle with the Simon Family is going to be amazing."
Nicholas looked at the clock as it hit the big 6:00 and he refreshed the page. His heart was beating so fast he had forgotten about the pizza and coke in his hands. When the page finally loaded his heart sank.
[Web Page could not be displayed. Please try again later.]
"Are you kidding me!?" Anger rose in his chest and without thinking he threw his glass of coke against the computer without realizing that the thing was half full. The brown liquid splashed all over the computer and the wall socket behind it. Sparks flew from the computer and a electrical shock shot straight towards Nicholas hitting him in the chest.
"Oh, I shouldn't have done that.,," Was the last thought that went through Nicholas' mind before everything went dark.
A bright flash of light went by Nicholas eyes and he knew deep down that he was dead. What a sorry way to die, loosing my temper again because of an Anime.
Nicholas sighed, well at least I got to eat some pizza before the end, there's a silver lining at least.
However Nicholas didn't feel dead, he didn't feel anything at all just weightless and unbound. He looked around but all he saw was a tunnel of lights passing him by faster and faster before a strong suction force pulled him forward.
Nicholas got dizzy as the lights started flashing faster and faster before a head splitting headache crept up on him as he fell to the ground.
'How can my head hurt when I'm dead?'
He opened his eyes and saw that he was on the floor. Didn't I die? No I'm sure I was dead. His head was killing him, where was he? Did he reincarnate? When the thought crossed his mind a slew of information poured into his head.
He had really died and had been reincarnated in the body of some fifteen year old kid name Ambrose Bellmont and this world was very different from Earth. From the memories of the previous owner of this body, this world was many times larger than his own.
In this world people were born with an affinity for one of the elements in nature and trained their element affinity by gathering spiritual energy from the environment. These people were known as Cultivators if they used their elemental affinity and channeled it via martial arts they were known as Warriors or if it was channeled via magic spells they were known as Magicians. These two professions were divided into seven ranks depending on how much spiritual energy you had.
Warriors were divided into Trainee, Apprentice, Knight, Captain, General, Legend and God. As for Magicians they were Trainee, Acolyte, Magician, Magister, Sage, Legend and God. These ranks were further divided into nine ranks. So for example to be a Warrior you first have to be a nine rank Apprentice.
He was now in the northern part of the Theidor Kingdom. The Theidor Kingdom was a huge empire that spanned across the Kasmos continent. Theidor Kingdom was a country that fostered martial artists instead of magicians so the number of warriors were bigger than magicians.
The kingdom was protected by four powerful families in control cities to the north, south, east and west. Ambrose was son of the head of the family in charge of the northern city, The Azure Dragon family that had a strong ice affinity. The south was protected by the Crimson Phoenix family with their fire affinity warriors, The east was the territory of the Amaranthine Tiger family with their electric affinity warriors and finally the west city was guarded by the Hyetal Tortoise family with a strong water affinity.
"Ugh so I died and took over this poor sap's body? But what happened to him?"
As soon as he thought about it, he knew the answer. In the Theidor kingdom children started training to gather spiritual energy from early as eight years old. Then at the age of ten they have a ceremony to awaken the elemental affinity within their bodies. If someone doesn't awaken their element during the ceremony then they have to wait another two years for another ceremony and a final chance is given by the age of fifteen if someone doesn't awaken their element by fifteen years old then they would be driven out of the family.
The family had high expectations for Ambrose as the son of the head of the family, sadly this poor guy's luck was bad and didn't awaken an element when he was ten nor when he was twelve. In a world where strength was the law and the weak were eaten, having a useless heir was the worst blow for the family, especially for his father who loved his only son unconditionally.
Faced with the ridicule, jeers and taunts from the family Ambrose had decided to train in martial arts even without awakening his elemental affinity. Normally the gathering of spiritual energy without an elemental affinity was a snail slow process, only when the affinity was awakened would their training speed rise.
Normally by the time the kids are fifteen if they have an outstanding talent they reach the bottleneck between Apprentice and Knight, if they have average talent then they would be in the beginning stages of the Apprentice level. However even with skipping meals and sleep this fellow had only trained to the middle stage of the Trainee level.
"Oy, why couldn't I reincarnate in the body of some genius or powerful man?"
First he died of a freak accident then he gets reincarnated into a crazy world where magic and monsters exist. Instead of being the hero of a story he gets to be the loser. Life is really unfair, Nicholas sighed feeling regret deep in his heart.
This guy's father loved him so much he had spent a fortune in doctors and medicines to awaken this guy's element but all was a waste. Today was this guy's fifteen birthday and the last chance to awaken his element he was so nervous that he asked for a tonic to calm his nerves and one of the elders from the family brought the medicine but instead of medicine it was poison.
"Well good luck for you Ambrose that I stepped in and took over. Don't worry your enemies will be my enemies and I will take revenge for you for every slight you have suffered. Since I reincarnated into your body and we are one then I'll be Ambrose Bellmont from now and gain the strength to never be bullied again."
Nicolas... no Ambrose said in a heroic voice. Of course saying it was easier than actually doing it.
[Suitable host with dying will has been detected. Initiating download of KHR System.]
Ambrose heard a robotic voice before he felt a piercing pain in his head that drove him to his knees. He was in pain for probably five minutes before the pounding headache stopped.
"What the hell was that?"
Then he head the robotic voice in his head again.
[User's Name: Ambrose Bellmont. Age: 15. Training level: fifth rank Trainee. Elemental Affinity: None. Favorite Food: Pizza. Nickname: Thrash. Virginity: Active. Girlfriend: None Compatibility with KHR System 100%.]
"Who said that? How are you in my head? And how do you know that?" That was some very personal information and it wasn't his fault he just 'moved in' so to speak.
[User I'm the KHR System and have been assigned to you due to your soul compatibility with my system.]
The robotic voice was starting to make him think he was crazy. "Where are you? What is the KHR System?"
[If User wishes to interact with the system's interface all he needs to do is close his eyes and think it.]
Oh this is so stupid but Ambrose closed his eyes and thought...well he sent a lot of insults to the robotic voice before picturing talking with the owner of the voice. Suddenly he felt a force grab his consciousness and pulled him in front of a huge touch screen with the letters KHR on it.
[Welcome User. This is the KHR System or Katekyo Hitman Reborn System. Due to your untimely death, there was no place prepared for you in the afterlife so you were given a chance to be reincarnated. However in all the worlds the only body available was that of Ambrose Bellmont of the Azure Dragon family in the Theidor Kingdom.
Due to differences between your native universe and this one as well as the state of Ambrose's body the heavens have gifted you this KHR System. With this system you can have access to the abilities of the Hitman Reborn world through system points.]
Ambrose felt his heart skipped a beat, when he heard this. Then the screen blinked and on it there were four sections. Abilities, Weapons, Clothes, Missions.
"Wait a minute. Time out." He made a T sign with his hands. "Are you saying that I can have all the abilities of the Katekyo world?"
[That is correct user, as long as you have enough system points to exchange them. Then yes.]
Ambrose frowned hearing that, he needed more information. "What do you mean by system points? What are they and how do I get them?"
[System points are used to unlock the different features of the KHR System. Points can be earned one of three ways. The first is to kill magical beasts that roam this world, the stronger the beast the higher the points. The second is to win fights with other cultivators points can be awarded depending on the battle and the final way is to complete the missions the system gives you. Due to the binding of the system the user is awarded 1000 pts.]
Ambrose nodded in understanding. This world was plagued with fierce beasts that were also divided into different ranks but he couldn't remember because the previous owner spent most of his time training his body in martial arts to study and strengthen his body. From his understanding the previous Ambrose knowledge of martial arts was on par with the rest of his family that were on the Apprentice level it was just that his body didn't have the same amount of spiritual energy.
Ambrose smiled brightly as he started looking through the different sections of the KHR System. With every option he saw, his eyes grew wider. Everything was here from the seven flames of the sky to the flames of the earth and even the ghastly flames of the night. It even had Xanxus' flames of rage and the unique techniques of the characters such as Rokudo Mukuro's six paths of reincarnation among others.
The weapons area made Ambrose drool. Everything from the X-gloves to the different dying will bullets to the box weapons were there. Even the characters personal weapons like Shigure Kintoki and even the rings. Holy crap there were dozens of thousands of rings from rank E rings to A and even the Tri-Ni-Set rings. Even the holy grail of rings, the Vongola rings were there. But damn were they expensive.
E-rank rings were only 200 pts and A-rank rings were 1000 pts but both the Vongola and Mare rings were 10,000 pts each except for the Sky rings that were 15,000 pts. Oy, that was highway robbery. Ambrose frowned but he could sort of understand it, the Vongola rings were stronger than any other ring able to withstand the immense pressure from Hibari Kyoya.
There were also clothes and other items the characters used in the Anime. The missions part of the system had no missions at the moment.
[User: to start utilizing the KHR System, you must choose your first flame. If the user in the future has the appropriate amount of points he can redeem them to unlock a new flame. The maximum of flames the user can have is ten. Please choose your flame.]
Ambrose was dumbstruck, he could have up to ten flames? That meant he could have all seven sky flames plus a few earth ones. He started laughing like a mad man.
"Who the hell cares if I don't have ice affinity? I have the flames of the sky and each and everyone is unique unto itself and even if I needed something like ice affinity there's the Glacier Flame of the Earth. I would like to see anyone who could compete with me. HAHAHAHA!"
A drop of sweat was formed on the KHR System. He was thinking that maybe the universe paired him with an idiot. Ambrose didn't see that the only thing he cared about was what flame to choose first.
He would choose one of the Flames of the Sky first. He was a fan of the show and even though the Flames of the Earth had their own uniqueness to them. In his heart he thought that the Sky was better than the Earth Flames. Later he would choose an Earth Flame but now wasn't the time.
The Flames of the Sky were divided into seven different types of flames each with their own unique attributes. They were the sky, storm, rain, sun, mist, cloud, and lightning flames.
The Sky Flames were the rarest and the symbol of the Vongola bosses, they had the harmony attribute which meant a flame with no flaws that accepts all and were orange in color. The sky bearers seem to have unusual sense of insight with the Vongola's bosses taking it one step further with the Hyper Intuition.
The Storm Flames were the most destructive of flames with their attribute of disintegration, like a raging storm of never ending attacks. They were red in color and usually the bearers were a little hot tempered.
The Rain Flames they were the most fluid of all the flames and were a lot like water. Their attribute is tranquility which can be used to rob opponents of their strength, like a quenching rain that washes everything away. The flames were blue in color and most users were calm and laid back.
The Sun Flames were the best supporting flames with their stimulating attribute which can be used to improve the situation of any given activity like healing and strengthening an individual, like the sun that gives life to all around it. The flames were yellow in color and its users were mostly physically strong fighters.
The Mist Flames were the most bothersome to deal with with their construction attribute allowing people to construct illusions so lifelike that if a user was strong enough the illusions were real. Lies hidden in truths, truths hidden in lies that is the true nature of the mist flames with their indigo color. Mist users were illusionists of great power.
The Cloud Flames were best for affecting large areas of the battle field with their propagation attribute they could replicate or grow depending on the need of the user. Like a small aloof cloud that gathers moisture from the air to grow. The flames were purple in color and its users were lone wolves in personality.
The Lightning Flames were the sharpest of the flames with their hardening attribute they can be used to strengthen the constitution of an object or body and its nature was very similar to electricity, these flames can also electrify an opponent. The flames are green in color and the users were mostly extremely loyal people with upright personalities.
Ambrose looked at all seven flames in deep thought all of them had their strong suits. But he needed to find what was best not only for his current circumstances. He also didn't want to create roadblocks for himself in the future. He already had a late start in this world if he wanted to create a name for himself and gain strength the best thing would be to lay down a solid foundation.
So he chose the Sky Flame, not only was it the symbol of the Vongola boss but the flame's harmony attribute will come in handy when he unlocks the other flames. Like the sky he would accept all flames and harmonize them in his body. Besides he had always admired the sky techniques and with his current body this one would be the best.
[Sky Flame integration has been initiated, please stand by for flame pathway opening.]
A dense warm feeling spread throughout his whole body, it wasn't uncomfortable on the contrary it was highly pleasant. What surprised him the most was that the spiritual energy that the poor sap had been painstakingly accumulating over the years was being devoured by his dying will flame. From the looks of it the sky flame was feeding on the spiritual energy and slowly his veins were filled with the orange color of the sky flame.
[Integration has been completed successfully. Please view the attributes in the box below. All other flames have been locked until the appropriate points collected to redeem them. ]
Ambrose smiled excitedly and clicked the view option on the screen.
[Sky Flame
Attribute: Harmony
Purity: Soft
Abilities: None
Weapons: None
Hyper Intuition: Locked]
Ambrose was shocked he couldn't believe that by choosing the sky flame he would also get the Hyper Intuition even though it was locked right now. In the future it would be a major asset to him. He went to the flame section to check how many points he needed to unlock the next flame and he almost vomited blood.
"Are you freaking kidding me? For every new flame is thirty thousand points!? That's a robbery. And upgrading the purity is fifty thousand! You want to bleed me dry!"
[Without challenge a person's growth is stagnated. People need goals and challenges to push them to be better.]
Ambrose glared at the screen. "Don't get smart with me."
He looked at the screen and saw that the Flames of Rage were twenty thousand points and the Flames of Night were fifty thousand points. That he could understand, at least he had a goal now.
Ambrose stroked his chin in deep thought. "I'm going to need a weapon and a ring to unleash my power. Let's see the weapons first."
The system had given him one thousand points that should be enough to get him what he needed. But as soon as he opened the weapons section his heart sunk. The cheapest weapons they had were the regular box weapons and those were three thousand points, he didn't even want to know how much the Vongola box weapons or animal weapons cost.
Being poor sucks, he thought before looking for the X-gloves. The previous Ambrose had studied martial arts that were similar to mix-martial arts from his own Earth, so the X-gloves were perfect and they allowed him to fly as well. When he looked at the price he almost cried. The X-gloves cost five thousand points and those were just Version one gloves.
He sighed depressed there was no way that he could get a weapon now, so he could only train his body for when he could but as soon as he had the chance he would get those gloves. So he went to the rings section because even though he couldn't get a weapon he could at least get a sky ring.
Since he had a thousand points might as well get an A-rank ring that could last him until he could get enough points for the Vongola ring. He browsed the sky rings looking for something cool but none were to his liking. When he was about to pick a random one, something caught his eye and he clicked the view feature.
[Northern Italy Family Sky Ring.
Rank: A
Points Required: 1,000
Previous owners: Boss of the Northern Italy Family, Lancia, Sawada Tsunayoshi]
Ambrose smiled looking at the black and silver ring, it had a small dragon in the shape of an S with an orange stone in the middle. This was the ring that was given as a gift to Lancia by his former boss and the one he gave to Tsuna as a gift. The same ring who saved him from Byakuran's white dragon attack which proved the ring was very strong for an A-rank.
Without thinking it twice he pressed buy and a bright flash of light covered his right middle finger as the ring materialized on it. He grinned like a fool until he saw that he had spent all his points and now had zero.
Well he now needed to accumulate points so that meant fighting or killing magical beasts. But first he needed to finish this stupid ceremony that will probably shock everyone when he appears with a fire attribute. That old geezer of an elder better be prepared, he was coming for him. He closed his eyes and was sent back to his room.
He hadn't checked before but his room was sparsely decorated, not something the heir of a family should have. He only had a small bed with a night table beside it, a closet for his clothes and a mirror. He stepped in front of the mirror to get a good look at his new body.
He had milky white skin with short blonde hair pulled into a ponytail. He had clear blue eyes and a small scar below his left eye he got when the previous owner fought one of his cousins when they were smaller. He hardly won and got the scar to prove it. He was tall about six feet with whip cord muscle from practicing martial arts for years. It was a large improvement from the freckled red haired chubby guy he was back on his own world.
"I'm actually a pretty good looking guy. Don't worry kid, I got your back now."
He told his reflection sending well wishes to the previous owner of his body. A heavy knock on the door brought him out of his stupor. The person knocked twice and entered before waiting for an answer.
The man looked to be in his early thirties with long blonde hair tied in a braid behind his back. Sharp blue eyes that held a hint of arrogance in them as he looked at Ambrose. He was taller than Ambrose by a good half foot with a strong muscular body and the strength emanated from him was that of a five rank General. The man was Markus Bellmont and he was Ambrose's father and the head of the Azure Dragon Family in charge of protecting the whole northern border of the kingdom.
The man looked at Ambrose with obvious love before a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You little brat, when did you advance to the Apprentice level that you failed to mention it to your old man?"
Ambrose was confused, the spiritual energy that was in his body was consumed by the sky flame and in its place the much richer and thicker flame energy coursed through his body. Before Ambrose was a five rank Trainee now he was first rank Apprentice. Did the integration of the sky flame make him jump five ranks? Awesome!
His dad had been called away to the capital and they hadn't seen each other for six months. So Ambrose lied through his teeth. "Well with you being called away and the attribute ceremony coming closer and closer, I couldn't slack off; it seems those medicines you bought me helped a lot."
Markus laughed and gave his son a bone breaking hug. "I knew my son wasn't trash like those old farts said. Half a month and he jumped five ranks with no attribute to help him. Don't worry son you will awaken your ice today. I'm sure of it and with it you will shut up everyone who has slighted you."
Markus had always been worried about his son's lack of ice he bought all the best medicines and brought the best doctors but in the end nothing changed. What a pleasant surprise his son has given now. He released his son and smiled from the bottom of his heart, he had to be fair and impartial as the family leader. But which father didn't want the best for this son. "Your mother will be so proud."
Ambrose smiled at his dad's enthusiasm, it looks like this father didn't care about his son's lack of attribute and loved him anyway but it clearly worried him. This kind of father was not bad to have. "Dad don't tell anyone about my new level. I want them all to be shocked."
Markus laughed and clapped his son on the back. "You little brat, fine I wont say anything. Anyways I was coming to tell you that the ceremony is about to start and you should be ready. So change out of those clothes and get into the ceremonial ones, I'll be waiting in the Dragon Den with the rest of the family."
Ambrose saw his dad leave with more energy that he had seen from him in years, a small patch of frost formed with his every step. He grinned and went to his closet and pulled a beautiful light blue robe lined with dark blue dragon designs along the side and silver trimming. On the chest over the heart was the coat of arms of the Bellmont family. A soaring dark blue dragon over a frozen mountain top.
Once he finished dressing he went outside ready to face this new world and take it by storm. He had dreams to create a name for himself and if this family didn't want him then he would create the mighty Vongola family in this world.
Hello everyone in the Katekyo Hitman Reborn Fandom. My name is Harlequin K or HK and I bring you my new story KHR System and hope you guys read it and love it. This idea came to me one day while I was bored at work, one thing lead to the other and boom the first chapter was already halfway done. The story is inspired by the light novel genre of countries like Korea,, China and Japan. Besides been inspired by the awesome manga and anime. So the disclaimer for the whole story. I don't own any of tge Katekyo Hitman Reborn characters or terminology used in this story. Everything else is completely made up by me. There with that out of the way lets continue.
First I would like to give a big thank you to Kalypso Fox my wonderful editor who polishes my stories so you can enjoy them better. Next I want to thank you all for reading and hope to hear your thoughts on the story. So read and review! Lol its so i can know what you guys like and what not. This story is a journey to top in a new world so it will have suspense, comedy, romance, fights and all the good stuff.
Now on a more somber note to my Titan readers the next chapter of the story is about a tenth done. The reason is so slow its because if you google Puerto Rico you will see that in September it was hit by a class five hurricane. And most of the island is without power. I can only wright at work which limits my time and creativity for the monster chapters that Titan has. Thats why it will take a bit longer to get the next update.
That wont affect KHR System since the chapters are shorter. I really hope you guys like this brand new adventure that I'm bringing you and share the journey with me. So once again read and review and ill see you next time.
HK
