Got inspired to start this. Not gonna stop uploading on my other gamer fic, also just thought a plague doctor gamer would be fun. I dont think I've seen that before. Was considering to do a bard fic but some other dude just started that and the SGO guys convinced me to write this. Anyway, only my oc belongs to me.

"Im guessing this is another job right?"
"Any preferences or just some random guy?"
"Alright, I'll get to it."
The enigmatic figure got into his truck and proceeded to drive.
Man, I've been waiting wayy too long for this Yu Gi Oh tournament, I'm going to obliterate the competition.
The 200$ grand prize is mine.
I continued walking down the street whilst thinking about the upcoming tournament.
As I was crossing the road, I saw a kid about to get hit by a fucking truck, I moved on reflex and pulled him back.
"Holy shit.. Fucking hell kid, you almost died." I looked at the trucks license plate and memorised it, 153K41.
Yeah, I'm going to the police after this. That guy is a god damn menace.
The kid, some boy named Quinn, thanked me and ran off.
I continued walking towards the card shop although I was tense and on edge. I crossed the street once more after looking left and right several times. I walked down it when I realised the same fucking truck was coming for me. I was about to move yet for some reason I was frozen.
[Welcome! Are you ready to begin the tutorial?]
The fuck?
[Out of billions of options, you were chosen to be the next gamer!]
I got hit by a truck, didn't I?
I'm probably in hospital. Yeah, this is just a dream.
[I'm afraid not, you're dead! But don't worry! You've got a second shot at life! So will you begin the tutorial?]
... Alright, so I'm really dead? I looked around and saw nothing but void. This is death huh?
Wait, I just fucking died. I should feel more than this.
[Complete the tutorial to find out why you don't particularly care about dying!]
Fine, fuck it. I'll do this little tutorial of yours.
[Great! Choose a name, or choose a random name!]
Well, my old life is gone now. I'll choose a random name.
Wait, uh, I can change my name if it's something bad right? right?
[Name chosen, hello Altum.]
Well, it isn't too bad. This is considering I'm getting isekaid to some fantasy world.
Shouldn't I also get a last name?
[Most gamers do not keep a last name. They generally change it depending on the world they're in.]
Alright then.. I guess I'll stick with the trend.
[Now it is time to get your class! This is the best part.]
A machine appeared in front of me. Dammit, seriously? Why does this shit have to be RNG. I pulled the lever and saw various classes and hoped I would get something good. I saw some interesting looking classes such as Night Lord, Chronomancer, and Destroyer, pass by and also saw more dull classes such as Fighter and Thug. After a few seconds my class was chosen.
[A Plague Doctor? Been a while since I've seen one of them.]
A plague doctor eh? Sounds cool, but what does it do?
[Plague Doctors specialise in disease and decay. They can concoct extremely deadly diseases and whatnot that are able to kill in seconds. Once strong enough they are able to rot a body entirely with a touch of their finger. They are also able to cure disease and heal. In other words, they can create and cure any disease once powerful enough.]
No complaints here. Do I get isekaid now?
[Not so fast buckaroo! A few more things. Now you get yourself a race. There are two options, human, or random. By random I mean random. You could be a cockroach or an eldritch horror.]
Ah.. I really should choose human. But I'm gonna make the bad decision and choose random.
[I was hoping you'd pick that. Alright! You got Rot Elemental]
Uh.. what the fuck is that?
[The Rot Elementals are a race that originate from a place known as the great rot. This is a place created by another gamer known as Cain. He's rather mad. Hell bent on destroying everything, he created to help him on his quest to destroy everything. Anywho, rot elementals specialise in decay and rotting.. Fits your class rather well. It's basically a living disease.]
I guess it goes well with my class but uh, doesn't that mean I lose my physical form or something like that?
[Kind of but not really. You can shapeshift into various things. Basically, you can disguise yourself as a human. Also, have these.]
[Gamer's Mind
Prevents all forms of trauma. Makes the user less afraid to kill. Gives minor resistance against mind magics]
[Gamer's Body
Your body is like that of a video game character. You will not die unless your HP hits 0.]
[Observe
Observe an enemy to see their stats, hp, mana, and some information.]
Well.. that does help, but I'd still rather not kill.
[You will learn.]
That's a little ominous..
[Almost done, now we choose your flaws and perks. Flaws are negative perks that can impact your abilities and the way you act. Flaws are hard to rid yourself of and in return you get a perk. The perks you get are better than normal passives and are extremely helpful.]
Hmm.. I'll choose one.
[Fox Sin of Greed
You are a greedy person unwilling to give up what is yours. You are selfish and don't particularly care about what happens to others due to your actions. You will take what you want from whoever.]
[Mage Prodigy
You are a magical prodigy. You learn magic easier and have 2x INT and WIS]
Not bad, alright I can definitely live with being greedy. It's probably best not to push my luck though.
[Also, I suppose I should tell you this. Remember this.
STR - Strength - Effects your physical damage
VIT - Vitality - Effects your health points
DEX - Dexterity - Effects your speed and reflexes
INT - Intelligence - Effects magic damage
WIS - Wisdom - Effects mana capacity
CHA - Charisma - Effects your looks and upgrades your speaking skills (lying, seducing, convincing, etc.)
LCK - Luck - Effects your luck.
Every level of the Plague Doctor class gives 4 WIS, 4 INT, and 1 DEX]
That's pretty simple I guess.
[Last part, roll for your new world!]
What do you mean? I thought I was going to my own original isekai world?
[Not exactly, you are a gamer, and you will learn what it means to be one.]
[World Selected - Highschool DxD]
I woke up on a soft mattress, I looked around and realised I was in a nice house.
[Your background was automatically chosen as 'rich orphan transfer student.' Tomorrow will be your first day at Kuoh Academy. Also, I'd recommend checking your status]
Wait.. I've watched DxD. Holy shit I'm fucked. Dragons, Demons, Gods and Angels... how the hell is a god damn plague doctor meant to fight against that shit.
[I wouldn't worry for now. As long as you play your cards well you'll be fine.]
What you say still doesn't really assure me, but anyways. Status.

Question.. Why the fuck is my vitality and HP so low?
[Due to you being an elemental being, your true form is not physical. Your VIT and HP only effect your physical form. At best you could only take a few punches and then you'd have to turn back into your elemental state. Don't worry though, due to being a creature made from mana, mana effectively acts as your HP.]
I.. Think I understand. So basically mana is my hp?
[Pretty much, yeah.]
I'm guessing me being an elemental or whatever is also the reason my strength is low?
[Yup.]
..Soo... do I get my attacks now?
[Skill received - Touch of Decay
You are able to touch someone and cause them to decay. Their skin will die and the longer you hold on the worse things become. This goes on till there is naught but a corpse. This can only be done in physical form.
10 MP per second, 250 DMG per second.]
[Skill received - Withering Aura
You are able to activate an aura that slowly causes things to rot and decay. Flowers will wither and people will find their skin and hair falling off when around you. If in contact for too long, they will perish.
10 MP per second, 100 DMG per second, 5m radius]
[Skill received - Detect Sickness
You are able to sense any type of disease or illness in any organic being within a large radius- revealing their location to you.

10 ml per minute.
Skill level 0/25]
Woah.. That's a lot.
It's a bit unnerving knowing I store acid inside of myself.
Well, is that all?
[Items received!
Plague Doctor Kit
Includes:
Plague Doctor Outfit
Basic Alchemy Kit]
[The Plague Doctor Outfit will give some minor defence against magical and physical attacks, although not much. The Basic Alchemy Kit will allow you to make various poisons and other concoctions.]
[To equip the outfit say inventory in your mind and equip it.]
Inventory.
I equipped the outfit and felt a mask on my face. I walked around my new house and found a mirror in the bathroom. I looked at my appearance, I looked like a typical plague doctor. I wore full black robes, black shoes, black gloves, and a black hat. The most striking part of my appearance was the black crow mask on my face.
Oh, right, I should probably see my normal appearance.
I equipped my normal clothes I wore when I was waking up, a t shirt and shorts. I had black hair, black eyes, and very pale skin.
"Damn.. I look kinda fuckin' creepy."
You said I could shapeshift, right?
[Yes, you can change your appearance.]
I first tried changing various things about my arm, the length of my nails, the length of my fingers and the colour of my skin. After I got a feel for it, I tried changing my entire appearance. I altered my height to a little under 6ft, made my skin less pale, made my body more muscular, I decided to keep my hair and eyes the same. My final change was to make my face look more handsome.
Much better.
[Alright, last part of the tutorial! You get your first quest.]
[Quest received!
The Plague Begins
Objective : Obtain Level 5 before your first day of school.
Bonus Objective : Obtain Level 10 before your first day of school.
Reward : Common Gacha Token
Bonus Objective Reward : ?
Time remaining : 16 hours, 37 minutes]
..I'm guessing I get experience from killing?
[Yes, killing is the main way to get experience, there are a few alternate ways but I will let you figure that out for yourself.]
Alright then.. I suppose the hunt begins.
It turns out there isn't really any crime in Kuoh. I decided that I'd rather kill criminals and thugs instead of decent people.
It isn't all that surprising considering Kuoh is a nice town and I imagine the two rulers, Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory, wouldn't want criminals and gangs roaming the streets.
I had to go to a neighbouring town, I used my true form to travel, I found it to be far, far faster.
After walking around I finally found some thug mugging a random guy in a back alley. All he had was a knife.
Alright, Observe.
[Generic Thug
STR - 18
VIT - 17
DEX - 9
INT - 7
WIS - 5
CHA - 6
LCK - 8
HP - 170/170
Mana - 0/0]
Easy enough. But damn, he's pretty weak. If I were to use my touch on him, he'd die quickly.
I shifted into my physical form and got a glass bottle from my inventory. I has already filled some bottles with my acid.
"Look, just give me your money, or else you'll get hurt." The thug said to the other guy.
"Alright, please! I'll give you my money, just don't hurt me!" The man panicked.
I made my move.
I tapped his back without using touch of decay. He quickly turned around ready to fight.
When I saw his face, I poured the acid on him.
"FUCK! AAAHH WHAT THE FUCK!" He screamed in pain.
He fell down to the floor and I put my hand on his face.
"Die."
I used touch of decay and his body withered away quickly. His skin and hair fell out, followed by his flesh rotting and his eyes falling out their sockets. Finally there was only a skeleton.
[+100 EXP!]
The man he was mugging was absolutely terrified. He had pissed his pants and was trembling in fear.
"Leave."
He ran away and didn't look back.
I did some math in my head and came to the conclusion that I had to kill 37 people to reach level 5.
I got home at early morning. I had about 3 hours till school. I wasn't able to reach level 10, but 7 was still good.
I've decided to turn in my quest.
[Quest complete!

Reward : Common Gacha Token
Time remaining : 3 hours, 4 minutes]
[To use a gacha token, say gacha in your mind.]
Gacha.
A screen appeared in front of me, it showed my current gacha tokens, a single grey token.
I saw that there were quite a few rarities.
Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical and Godly.
I opened the common token.
[Items received!
Basic Health Potion x 5
Common
A potion that instantly restores 100hp]
That's nice and all, but it's not all that useful for me.
Alright. I guess I should get ready for school.
Hope you liked it. Reviews appreciated :D
