Killer RPG
Chapter 1
[Hello young man you have sadly died but you are being giving a new life in a randomly chosen fantasy world]
"Okay" I said looking at the amber colored game screen that was in the center of a black void.
[The world you are being reborn in will be {Akame Ga Kill} now please choose a class!
-Knight-
-Thief-
-Monk-
-White Mage-
-Black Mage-]
"Okay I'll choose this one" I said picking my class as a monk since martial arts is awesome.
[Good now you need to select a career to specialize in!
-Doctor-
-Chef-
-Gardener-
-Alchemist-
-Blacksmith-
-Runesmith-]
"Okay these are all good but for the moment I will pick the Alchemist since it's easier and faster to find and buy plant material instead of growing plants and finding blacksmithing materials. The same goes for doctor and I don't even know what a Runesmith is" I said before I saw one final message.
[One final message]
[You are now about to start a new game and yes, your game is set on hardcore mode which means that you need to eat, drink and sleep. You can catch diseases and break limbs. Ammo and misc items have weight and other such things.
Anyway, that's about it so go out and try not to die]
That was the last message I saw before my vision faded into darkness as I felt like I was taking a nap in warm water.
xxx-xxx
"Ugh my head" I said as I felt the worst kind of headache ever as I woke up as I sat up and saw that I am inside of a sizable looking tent.
[You've spawned into your new life or more specifically into the life of a young alchemist named Talon Snow.]
"Good to know" I said as I was also shown a picture of what I look like as I stand tall at six foot two with dark brown skin, black hair done in a large afro, I have dark green eyes with an average build and I'm wearing a basic tan short sleeved shirt and pants with leather shoes.
Then after the message and picture disappeared, I was hit with wave after wave of memories from the original Talon's life as I am apparently an orphan and thankfully this world has GOT rules which means that orphans or bastards take the last name of snow.
It kicks ass because Jon Snow is a fuckin legend and anyone who says otherwise can kiss my ass.
"I'm an orphan and I make a living by selling and eating fish or wild game while also living away from the large village itself since they basically hate me for my mother dying during childbirth…Well…Shit" I cursed as I crawled out of the tent and was hit in the face by the bright morning sun as I have a campfire in front of me that wasn't lit or two close to my tent as I also have a old looking but still sturdy fishing rod next to a log that was in front of my campfire.
"Alright time for some breakfast" I said as I grabbed my fishing rod before I headed east towards the nearby river that didn't attract any danger beast. It's a good thing to because an actual danger beast from the show or manga would totally kill me.
Anyway, after about ten or twelve minutes of walking through the woods I came up to a sizable river as I recalled my memories of fishing from my past life and Talon's life before I started looking around for some bait.
"Okay I'm not going to brutally murder a frog and snails are to gross to touch so you'll have to do mr. worm" I said as I went to a spot of wet dirt and saw a…Hive of worms…Wait is it a colony of worms?
Fuck it. I saw a lot of worms in some dirt…Anyway, I picked up a big one before carefully impaling it on the hook of my fishing rod.
"Sorry worm I know it hurts but I need to eat" I said to the poor guy before I found a large piece of wood to sit on as I cast my fishing hook into the water and simply waited for something to bite. "Sorry fish but if I have anything it's patience so you won't scare me off by playing hard to get" I said to myself basically as I sat and waited for a long time just thinking to myself and listening to thee sounds of nature before I felt a tug on the fishing line as I quickly but carefully reeled the fish in.
[Congrats you've looted 1x Large Fish! Specifically, it's a rainbow tailed salmon but I'm assuming that doesn't matter to you]
"Yeah, the type doesn't matter unless I can harvest rare materials from it. Besides I have more fish to catch anyway" I said to the game screen as I held the moving fish in my hands after taking it off my hook as I mentally summoned my game inventory which I thankfully have as I stuffed the fish into it and got some experience since the fish apparently died instantly inside of the inventory.
"What's my carry limit anyway?" I asked as I looked at my grid styled inventory screen.
6/150
"Okay that fish is pretty heavy at six pounds but that is still plenty of room" I said before I spent a lot more time fishing until I got five more of the salmon as I headed into the village to sell them as I was now carrying them on a large and thick tree leaf since magically pulling them out of my inventory would either make them ask a million questions or have them kill me instantly for practicing witchcraft.
Now honestly that is the only thing about the Akame Ga Kill world I hate. The fact that they have guns and scientific advancements, but they also lack things like modern travel, machines to make life easier, air conditioners and stuff like that.
Seriously who give a crazy bitch super advanced military ordnance before inventing a fricken fridge?
"I'm selling all of these" I told a merchant as a I walked up to her stall as she gave me the stink eye a bit before examining each fish I got.
"I'll give you seventy-six silver for them" The woman said as I felt like she was ripping me off, but I choose to ignore it since I don't know how to haggle.
"Thank you" I told her as she gave me a sack of silver coins that I placed in my pocket before my stomach started rumbling. "Maybe I should have kept one after all" I said as my intention with fishing was to eat first, but the temptation of money got the better of me.
Anyway, this village is pretty big and sizable as the people have numbers in the hundreds and visitors are a constant thing around here as the guards are well armed and seem pretty strong. There is also a mix of basic living and tribal style people in this place as they seem more like the Fallout style tribals instead of native American tribals.
[Sorry I forgot to give you this earlier!
Fishing has levelled up! Lvl: 5-6]
"Damn another one died to this damn drug" Someone said nearby as I happened to slightly overhear him as I followed the voice and saw a big guy and a skinny one standing in front of some barrels as they looked to be throwing stuff into the barrels.
"Yeah, it sucks but the boss said to get rid of that frauds belongings after his fake drug killed that poor girl of his" The skinny one said as I than remembered that this village is lead by a village chief with a sick daughter.
"She was fine too. I wish I could have killed that lying bastard myself" The big guy said before the left and after waiting for a moment or two I walked over to the barrels as I opened one and saw a few things that I carefully looted for myself.
[You've looted 1x Novice Alchemical ingredients and formulas, 1x Gold necklace, 1x Book of Legends!]
"Sweet" I said as I decided to leave back to my tent instead of being greedy and looking threw the other barrels as I soon sat in my tent and took out the book of alchemy as I read it carefully and started realizing that alchemy in this world is more than just mixing things together in a test tube and after reading the entire book carefully, I earned.
[You've unlocked the skill [Alchemy]
Alchemy-Rank 1 [Active]
Alchemy is the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir.
All Alchemy experiments have a 10% increased success rate!]
"Okay…So alchemy is all about changing things into different things and that requires a scientific mind as well as basic luck. So, right now I can gather some basic alchemy ingredients to start making potions and what not but I lack a proper lab to make the materials into viable potions and stuff like that" I said to myself as I thought back to what the game system originally told me about Talon being a alchemist but for the life of me I can't remember him ever having a alchemy lab or anything. Or if he actually made any potions or not.
"Alright thinking about things won't help so instead I need to do a bit of field research" I said after scratching my head a bit as I remembered that the village fights off bandits sometimes. So, I decided to wander around the outer perimeter of the village in the hopes of finding something I can use and thankfully after a while I found corpses.
…
I should probably find a better way to say that.
"Okay I am sorry to do this to you guys, but I need your stuff so please forgive me and also don't haunt me or anything" I said as I looted the three corpses I saw and earned.
[2x Tribal Masks, 3x Leather Chest Piece, 2x Leather Left Arm Piece, 1x Leather Right Arm Piece, 3x Leather Right Leg Piece, 2x Leather Left Leg Piece, 5x Animal Jerky, 2x Iron Short Sword, 1x Leather Shield, 1x Iron Dagger, 1x Mystery Necklace, 1x Wooden Bow, 12x Stone Arrows]
"My inventory is stuffed" I said after looking these guys as I quickly looked around before putting on a full set of leather armor that fit like a gloved as the armor fully protected my joints and vital areas while leaving spots open for advanced flexibility and movement.
[You lack the proper training to utilize this armor effectively and as such you've earned the [Fragile Armor] De-Buff as your armor only reflects 15% of the maximum damage threshold of your armor and your armor deteriorates 150% faster]
"Son of a bitch!" I cursed before taking all the armor off since it's basically useless as I start walking back to my tent before I take my necklace out of it's inventory and look it over a bit as it looks tribalistic since it's a hard wire string with a yellow crystal in the center which made it a necklace.
"Maybe it's good luck or something" I said as I put it on.
[Congrats you've used the [Free Perk] necklace as this necklace allows you to randomly gain a perk permanently but the necklace shatters after use!]
After that brief message I got a perk screen placed in front of me that looked eerily similar to the fallout new vegas perk screen.
"I don't know what to…Okay this is a no brainer" I said before selecting my perk.
[Perk!
Lightweight-Rank-Max [Passive]
You have the knowledge on how lightweight armor works and now you can use lightweight class armor effectively as well as use it to block 5% more damage while wearing a full suit of lightweight class armor!
You can also repair lightweight class armor with 10% more effectiveness!]
"Now let's try this again" I said before re-equipping a full suit of leather armor and this time I didn't get a de-buff so now I was wearing my leather armor with pride but I didn't use the swords, dagger, or shield since I couldn't use them as a monk.
Actually, I can use the bladed weapons but for some reason I feel like I want to learn some basic self-defense first.
"Can I set this armor to auto-equip or something?" I asked myself as I looked my inventory over before discovering item set options as I set the full suite of leather armor to {Armor Set 1} as the unequipped my armor for a moment. "Let's see if this works…{Armor Set 1}" I said before I was once again clothed in a full suite of leather armor. "Unequip {Armor Set 1}" I said as the suit was placed back in my inventory as I soon reached my tent.
"I'm super hungry" I said as I decided not to sell my loot quite yet as I equipped my bow and new quiver of arrows as I decided to go hunting as I crotched low to the ground and watched where I stepped as I looked around for any prey, I could catch and as time went on my body felt heavier and heavier until I finally found something I could hunt.
Wild Turkey, Lvl: 3
The Turkey was standing their eating worms out of the dirt as I slowly readied an arrow as I raised it and tried to aim at the bird as I relied on my Skyrim knowledge as I put all my strength into reading the arrow as I fired and…Missed.
The arrow didn't even make it close to the turkey before it hit the ground and alerted the bird to my presence as it ran away as fast as it could making me sigh in defeat before I go and pick up my arrow.
"I guess I need practice instead of videogame knowledge" I said sadly as I put the arrow back in it's quiver before I looked over some nearby plants and herbs.
[Alright I know where this is going and since your pretty pathetic, I will throw you a bone and give you a scrying skill.]
[Skill!

"Thank you but now that you say something, I have to say that I actually don't know my stats so I should probably check them out" I said before pulling up my status screen.

-END!-
"Well, I guess that isn't too bad" I said as I looked over my stats as my stats aren't bad, but they aren't very good either" I said as I dismissed the screen and saw that I would be able to cast observe ten times and it would take a long ass time before I could replenish all of my mana to use spells again and that is with the idea that spells cost less than one-hundred mana points…Basically I need to focus on physical abilities first.
"That's enough thinking for now and instead it's time for me to do some practicing" I said as I decided to start practicing my archery a bit and since I don't really know what to do, I just try hitting a nearby tree with my arrows over and over again before I awaken more skills.

"Nice" I said as gathered up all my arrows before I put my arrows back in my quiver before I put them and the bow in my inventory before I looked at patches of large looking mushrooms and berries before I observed them.
[Item!
Wild Raspberries-Common Item
These raspberries are wild and untamed, so they aren't as big as store bought ones, but they are still eatable and nonpoisonous.]
[Item!
Rare Mushrooms-Uncommon Item
These mushrooms are rare and used to tame large plant eating animals as well as used for poisons since the spores are harmful once ingested.]
"Berries" I said as I picked the entire bush of raspberries and ate them as I satisfied my hunger as I thought about what my next step should be since I still have plenty of sunlight to burn.
Now I know I don't have enough materials to go by an alchemy lab and I also need to find a way to increase my stats since exercise in the wilderness just screams death wish so I need to think about what I could possibly do…What can I do?
"I got it" I said as I just realized that I could go out and do some odd jobs from the bulletin board in the center of town as people are always putting up posters to get help for certain physical tasks or just taking on hunting or extermination missions. "Time to do a mission and get some experience" I said as I started making my way back to the village as I headed straight for the bulletin board to look over the mission posters as I looked over anything that didn't need killing since I didn't want to kill anyone just yet since this world has everyone one victim or not being crazy strong.
"Okay this looks like it will get me some good experience and skills" I said as I looked over a poster on the bulletin board that said.
{Looking for people of age to join the band of the Raven as we offer training in various forms of combat, survival, mental stimulation and teachings as well as decent food, water, and a place to rest your head as well as a cut of any spoils of war we attain.
If your interested than please come to the following location}
"Alright that settles things" I said as I accepted the challenge of this flyer.
Quest Alert!
[Name: Tutorial
Objective 1: Go to the band of the Raven location and join them!
Rewards: ?
Failure: N/A, Title-You Suck and Failed a Tutorial…Loser!
Do you accept this quest? Y/N?]
"Well obviously I'm going to say yes and accept" I said as I mentally accepted this quest and started making my way towards the strong hold near the village as the strong hold is a former bandit hideout if I remember correctly but recently the revolutionary army has taken it over and uses it as a fort as revolutionary guards and warriors often come…Here…Oh no.
How the hell didn't I think about this sooner. The empire and that fat bastard in the capital is going to send an army here sooner or later and I can't do anything to stop them or protect myself against those kind of forces. Especially if they send Esdeath or her subordinates after me.
This is a nightmare a total nightmare and now I'm going to die before I even get anything done.
[Gamers Mind Active]
After seeing that message I suddenly felt calm and siren as my stress just melted away and I realized that I still have time to learn and get the hell out of dodge.
"Okay I just need to breath and calm down. If I let my emotions take over than I'm as good as dead and honestly I was going to rebel against the evil capital anyway so right now I just need to keep myself together" I said as I took a deep breath to calm down as I walked on the dirt road heading north as this fort is a fair distance away from the village.
"Equip {Armor Set 1}!" I said as I equipped my armor over my clothes as I saw the stone fort in the distance after about twenty or thirty minutes of walking.
My feet hurt so bad.
Anyway I saw various people of all walks of life around the fort as some higher ups where ordering low rank people around or to do exercises as I saw the place didn't have any clearly visible guards around as I wasn't sure where to go until I saw a man dressed in a nice black themed suit with a brown top hat talking to a group of three before they walked into the actual fort itself as they walked through two large wooden doors that didn't seemed maned by anyone and yet they opened and closed with ease.
"Excuse me sir but is this where I go to if I want to join the band of the Falcon?" I asked him as I didn't bother looking at his name and level above his head since I'm positive he will kill me at a moment's notice if I try anything fishy.
"Yes, my dear lad this is the place to join the Falcon but be warned that if you join the falcon you join for life and can never leave it." The man said as I seriously felt like everyone was watching me and waiting for me to say no so they could kill me.
"I understand and I want to join. I'll do whatever it takes" I told the man as he smirked before reaching into his pocket and took out a badge as it looked circular in design and had the number one-hundred on it.
"Alright you can pass, and you need to remember this warning. The falcon tests can and will kill you if you are not prepared for it's challenges and the moment you join your life will become forfeit. So, if you truly wish to join than follow me to your future" The man said before giving me a smile "My name is Lans and I am one of the knight captains of the falcon" Lans said before I followed him to the large wooden doors that opened up and allowed me to see the real for up close.
The place we are at is the forts massive courtyard in front of the miniature stone castle as dozens of people stood in the courtyard in place next to each other and waiting for something or someone as guards in bright red and yellow armor stood all over the place and as I look back I saw two guards closing the wooden doors with a system of pullies as I also noticed archers in the windows of the fort as Lans gestured for me to walk as I walked into the crowd as he walked away and soon enough Lans walked around the crowd and stood proudly on top of the large stage in front of the forts main entrance as two guys and one woman also walked onto the stage as everyone suddenly went quiet.
Then on guy actually took out what looked like a microphone of all things which confuses me since I don't recall modern tech being in the Akame Ga Kill universe. Granted it looked like an awesome steampunk version of a microphone but still you get my point.
"Greetings everyone I am general Rokugou and you may know me as a former general for the empire but I am here to tell you that you are not joining a mercenary band and instead you are joining the revolutionary army" Rokugou said loudly as a lot of people where confused and started whispering at that as I was also confused because in the canon world this guy is one of Kurome's puppets.
"What the actual fuck is going on?" I asked myself before he speaks up again.
"I know it might be shocking but that is the truth and I promise you that everything we offered still stands as many of you need a place to call home due to the empires greed and evil deeds. Now some of you have families and some of you do not so we will give you this time for the next ten minutes to leave if you wish and I promise you will never hear from us again and you will live your life without worry and fear of dying on the battlefield!" Rokugou said loudly as that just felt like a trap after what Lans just told me.
However, several people started leaving and about half of us remained and when the last person left that's when we heard a scream as none of us dared to look back and see what happened or investigate since I am positive that the archers have taken out the people who left and honestly it was understandable given the nature of this army but still it was a hard pill to swallow.
"Alright than. For those of you that stayed we welcome you into our army with open arms but you all must first pass a test of skill as well as knowledge and luck. Now this fort was known for housing bandits but what isn't known is the fact that these bandits called this place the [Reapers Garden] as the forest surrounding this fort is home to various blood thirsty creatures and danger beast.
Your objective is to enter the dense forest behind this fort and enter the ruins of another fort called [Sanctuary]. You have a time limit of seven days and you can reach the fort in groups or alone but ultimately what matters is reaching the fort no matter what it takes.
The test will begin immediately, and I wish all of you the best" Rokugou said as we saw another set of wooden doors open near the right wall of the fort allowing all of us to see a dense forest. "Now you all have the next ten minutes to enter the forest before the archers take shots at you" Rokugou said as several people including myself didn't waste time as we ran into the forest.
Warning! You've entered [Reapers Garden] Dungeon! The level requirement is 15-20!
"Fuck! This isn't fair" I cursed as I ran into the forest as I ignored the game screen in front of me at the total unfairness of this quest.
Even for a tutorial quest this is just too much especially since I lack the proper skills to survive in this place.
"I know right. Who the hell decides to make people take a test like this?" Someone said from behind me as I turned around and saw an extremely familiar face.
Chelsea, Lvl: 24
Shapeshifter/Oarburgh Assassin
Chelsea is a damn knock out just like in the anime and manga as she has pale skin with auburn hair reaching her elbows, pink eyes, she has a thin but fit build since she is both a decent level and an assassin, she has butterfly headphones on her head which is still confusing since this world doesn't really have the music tech for headphones to work.
Anyway, she is wearing a black and white maid outfit of all things instead of her attire from the anime and she also seems to lack her Gaea Foundation thing that lets her transform. She is also wearing high heels as well and honestly; I just don't get why.
Is she challenging herself to fight in a hostile area in a sexy maid outfit?
No…She specializes in sneak attacks so why is she being so…Brazen with her attire even if I won't complain since she is tugging at her skirt to keep it down which causes the outfit to push up more of her bust in the process.
No! Focus damn it. You need to figure out why she is here and what she is doing since your meta knowledge should tell you that she is already in the revolutionary army.
"A psychopath and why the hell are you dressed so sexy in the middle of a place like this?" I asked her boldly since she won't kill me for my honesty.
She is one of the few characters that isn't overly sensitive…Granted the other night raid members aren't either but Tatsumi was just a bit too soft for this line of work even if he had a talent for it.
Seriously, he should have been in a different anime with his dragons powers even if he slowly became my fav over time.
"Oh? Is my outfit to distracting for you?" Chelsea asked teasingly as I sadly looked away as she got closer…Damn my sense of honor. I want to see her closer, but my moral compass won't let me…Oh wait a minute.
My moral compass is still a thing…Fuck I didn't think this through. What if I actually become an assassin? Can I really kill someone and not feel anything?
"Yes, very distracting in fact. But you didn't answer my question." I told her making snicker a bit before she backed away.
"I don't feel like telling you." Chelsea said as she put her hand on her hip before another girl walked up to her and my god this girl has the definition of anime boobs.
Taeko, Lvl: ?
The Breath of the Reaper of Oarburgh/The Vanishing Wind
"Chelsea, we need to go" Taeko said as I looked her over as she has fair skin with long dark grey hair and lime-colored eyes as she has a build similar to Chelsea but Taeko has massive tits like double D level which offers some great viewing pleasure but not much as you'd think since she is wearing some robe like clothing that doesn't protect much but clearly offers high maneuverability which is something Akame Ga Kill maximizes whenever possible.
Everyone is insanely fast in this world and to survive it I need to be equally fast as well as strong, durable, smart and etcetera.
"I already know that Taeko. This heat is killing me, and these shoes hurt like crazy" Chelsea complained as I could have sworn both Taeko and myself sweat dropped at Chelsea's words.
"Well, if you both are heading towards the fort right now than I better come with you in case something tries to eat you or something" I said as I needed an excuse to follow them since Taeko is a monster in a battle according to the prequal manga she was in before Akame killed her.
"That won't be necessary" Taeko quickly said coldly as she looked me over for just a second before writing me off. Not that I blame her since I am totally weak right now.
"Taeko don't be so cold. If he wants to be a brave hero let's take him with us. He seems like a big strong hero to me" Chelsea said striking a small pose as she batted her eyes at me a bit as I'm ashamed to say her method of seduction is too strong to resist.
Damn it she's too hot and too knowledgeable about how to use it to her advantage. Anyway, the two girls looked each other over for a moment before Taeko just sighed and started walking.
"Okay" Taeko said causally as she walked past me but not in a disrespectful way but more like she just didn't care for my existence at the moment.
"Yay. Let's go Mr. Hero" Chelsea said before she quickly latched onto my arm and started pulling me along through the forest.
"My name is Talon" I said as we walked as I felt like Chelsea was setting me up for something, but I can't figure out what it is.
[You've unlocked the skill [Sense Bloodlust]!]
"Girls I think where being watched" I quickly said as the both of them stopped for a moment as I saw Taeko reach for the sword she was carrying as the sword was in the shape of a katana but was a bit longer almost like the sword Sephiroth uses in FF-7 but unlike his it wasn't long enough to be overly ridiculous. Then in a flash Taeko was at my left side as she slashed at whatever was near me as I felt a bit of blood splatter on my face as I looked over and saw what looked like a goblin, but it was torn in two as it's skin was a dark red color with dark yellow eyes and was holding a wooden spear with what looks like animal shit coating the spear tip.
"Thanks" I said as Chelsea let go of me as I turned around and heard the small voices of other goblins.
"Gross" Chelsea said as she looked over the corpse as I balled up my fists as I heard some of them start running.
"There's more" Taeko said as I heard the footsteps start surrounding us before one of the goblin looking things jumped out of a nearby bush and tried to attack Chelsea as I pushed her out of the way before hitting the unarmed goblin with a straight punch.
Now I don't know how to fight but I've seen enough tv and played enough videogames to know what to do as the punch wasn't very strong since it hardly did any damage, but it still sent the thing back a bit before it quickly got back up.
Imp, Lvl: 16
"Chelsea stay behind me or Taeko. We'll keep you safe." I told her as other goblins started to appear as I fended them off as best I could with a few punches and kicks, but it wasn't enough to truly hurt any of them until Taeko quickly stepped in front of me and killed each of them in less than a minute before sheathing her sword as I balled up my stinging hands.
[You've created job skills!]

A shield blocks more than a weapon and a weapon blocks more than an unarmed block so keep that in mind.
Blocking negates 3% more damage than before]
"Thanks for the help" I told her as she looked at me for a moment before she started walking again.
"Don't mind her Talon. I think you were amazing even if you failed to kill anything" Chelsea said before she also walked ahead of me as I slowly followed them before I realized that I didn't gain any experience from those goblins.
Maybe it's because I didn't kill them but still, I at least got skills so now I really need to focus on becoming more useful to these two since they will probably leave me if I become unnecessary baggage.
"I know this is going to sound stupid but do either of you know where this fort is located exactly?" I asked as we walked before they both stopped.
"I don't know where it is but if we keep moving without a break, we should be able to find it quickly" Taeko said as she looked up at the sky before answering.
"Taeko that isn't really a plan" Chelsea said with a shrug as we came up to a nice place to rest as the place is by a small lake with some decent visibility for animals or other people as Chelsea was the first to take a seat by the water.
"Even if it isn't a plan it's still better than my idea…Or actually it isn't since my idea was the same exact thing" I said as I waked up to the lake and cupped my hands in the clear water as I took a long drink of refreshing water.
So good.
"Chelsea what do you think we should do?" Taeko asked as Chelsea kicked off her heels before dunking her feet in the cold water.
"If granny was here, she would probably say something like 'keep focused on the mission and stop wasting my time before I sick Merraid on you' or something scary like that" Chelsea said as that named sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place it for some reason.
"If that's the case than we should rest here for a moment to quickly regain stamina before walking again to try and find this fort." I said since I also needed a break because this leather armor is almost boiling me alive.
'I can't use my gamer powers in front of these girls or else they will either try to kill me, think I'm an enemy, think I practice the dark arts or something, or something else terrible and life threatening.' I thought to myself since I didn't know what I could possibly do right now.
*Rumble*
"What was that?" I asked as I just heard some animal nearby making me look around before I realized that Taeko was holding her stomach as she looked down a bit with her cheeks being a tiny bit red.
"You didn't eat anything, today did you?" Chelsea asked as she looked back at Taeko as I calmed myself down and relaxed.
"No. I got too carried away with my training this morning and forgot to eat breakfast" Taeko said before I actually smiled at that since this is the first time Taeko actually showed any emotion and apparently that emotion is being embarrassed.
"Well, if that's the case than the least I can do is get us some food" I said as Chelsea looked at me with skepticism.
"How exactly are you going to do that with no weapons?" Chelsea asked as I saw that the center of the river seemed pretty deep and didn't seem to lead any far away or towards any waterfall or anything.
"I'll just get some fish out of the water" I said as I stripped out of my armor the old-fashioned way until I was just in my boxers as I quickly entered the water before seeing both an oxygen meter in front of me as well as another game message.
[You've created another skill!]
[Skill!
Swimming Rank-1
In the water you act just like a fish but without the ability to breath underwater or see clearly.
Speed underwater is increased by 25%]
Those screens are helpful but annoying so I dismiss them as I try chasing after a some fish as several fish got away from me and swam very, very fast to avoid me as I finally swam up to the surface to catch my breath and breath.
"Damn it" I cursed as I breathed in and out for a minute before I dove back down as I got closer to the bottom of the lake and saw some large, looked crabs or lobster things at the bottom and truthfully they look yummy but underwater they could pinch my hand clean off since they are the size of footballs and I can't truly grab them from behind since they have spiked tails and their shells are also spiky.
After looking this stuff over I quickly swim back up to the surface before I walk back onto the ground and sit next to Chelsea.
"Okay so the good news is that I found some food we can eat" I told them as I wiped some water off my face.
"The bad news is that you can't get it right?" Chelsea asked.
"Basically" I told her before I just laid down on my back a bit tired since swimming is exhausting and I'm also frustrated since I could take my fishing rod out of my inventory and fish but again that would mean exposing my gifts.
"Taeko. Do you think you strong enough to go fishing?" Chelsea asked as I felt slightly scared since Taeko now had an extremely serious and terrifying look on her face.
"Yes" Taeko said before she jumped high into the air and landed in the deepest part of the lake before several fish landed behind Chelsea and myself as I just looked on at Taeko in total shock as she quickly walked out of the water while ringing out her hair and clothes.
Honestly, I was speechless as I at least got the wood to make a fire as we now had a campfire by a lake along with five sticks placed over the campfire as each stick had a fish on it as we waited for the fish to cook and that smell was driving me crazy.
If I wasn't so sure I would get sick I would eat one of those fishes right now.
"Taeko are you sure your okay?" I asked as she was the closest to the fire as her clothes are still soaked, and she seemed to shiver a tiny bit.
"I'm fine. Just a little cold is all" Taeko said as she raised her hands near the flames.
"My leather armor is pretty warm so you can wear it if you want" I said since I only put my normal clothes on instead of my armor as the sun started setting.
"No thanks" Taeko said before Chelsea got close to me.
"Don't mind her. She isn't used to being around men" Chelsea whispered to me making Taeko pout and look away a bit as the fish soon finished and we all quickly finished our food before placing the bones and stuff in the fire as I stood up and put my armor back on as I stood up against a nearby tree.
"I can take the first watch if you girls want to sleep" I said as I saw the moon rise in the air as the sky had turned dark and I heard what sounded like howls and screams.
"No thanks. Besides it's about time for us to start moving again anyway" Chelsea said as she put her heels back on as she and Taeko both stood right up.
"Are you sure? This place is dangerous and at night it will be a lot worse" I said as they both walked past me.
"Stop worrying Talon. We'll be fine" Chelsea said as I than started following them as we once again started moving through this god forsaken jungle of nightmares.

"I hate this place!" I shouted as the girls and I had to deal with wild dog like danger beast, more imps, land tigers, monster plants and the list with on and on as Taeko was thankfully able to kill any and everything we came across until we luckily stopped at a massive fort that was built into the side of a mountain.
"Finally!" Chelsea shouted as she ran towards the door and the second, she opened it I smelled cooked food and lit candles as Taeko and I followed her into the fort as we saw the generals from two days ago waiting for us in a victorian styled room that looked absolutely massive.
"Congrats. You three are the first ones who where able to pass the test and are now able to fully join the revolutionary army" The familiar voice of Rokugou said before I got an alert.
Quest Alert!
[You've completed the tutorial quest along with the hidden objective of surviving with Taeko and Chelsea and yes, some quest have hidden objectives.
Anyway, you've been given the following. +5 to all stats, 1,000 XP, and a random skill book for not using your gamer powers during the tutorial and blowing your cover as a normal person.]
[You've levelled up Lvl: 4-5-6 and you've also earned 6 SP]
"Is there any place where we can properly rest?" I asked since I was the physically and mentally weakest of the group since I only got like an hour or two of sleep during this entire experience while Chelsea and Taeko where still going strong.
"Yes. Now allow me to show you all to your rooms" A person said from behind us as I quickly turned around and saw an old woman in purple clothes standing behind me as she is also wearing a purple hat as some of her grey hair is still able to be seen.
Babara Oarburgh, Lvl: ?
Eyes of the Reaper Oarburgh/Granny
"Awesome" I said as the girls where strangely quiet as we walked through the fort…Or I guess I should say that Chelsea was oddly quiet while Taeko just stayed the way she was as we soon walked up a massive flight of stairs before coming to the second floor as the old woman showed me to my room as I saw it wasn't bad and was a basic living area.
But I didn't care. Because as soon as my door closed, I locked it, striped naked, and dove into my bed. Hell, I didn't even care what time it was I just wrapped myself up in the warm covers and went to sleep. A real honest to god sleep cycle that feels like a little slice of heaven.

"Who is that boy?" Babara asked her two disciples as they sat in the chairs in her room or more specifically Babara and Taeko sat in the chairs while Chelsea laid down on her bed.
"He's some tribal but he shows potential to be a good fighter" Chelsea said with a smile as she always had a gift for seeing just how far someone could go on the battlefield even if she didn't play a big role in it.
"That certainly explains why you allowed him to travel with you. Otherwise, you'd never allow any man to see you in such a state." Babara said as Chelsea blushed at the comment before she quickly sat up and realized just where the old hag was looking as she closed her legs and pulled down her skirt.
"This isn't my fault! That perverted monster Merraid and her girl toys stole all my clothes and Gaea Foundation so they could replace them with this stuff! Do you have any idea how embarrassing it was to know that her insects were watching me all the time and having to constantly fix these clothes!" Chelsea shouted in agitation before realizing her second mistake as Taeko had a massive blush on her face and looked to the side while Babara didn't really seem phased.
The moment Chelsea looked down at herself she realized that by pulling her skirt down so far, she made the top of her outfit fall completely revealing her in 'her' underwear of a dark purple and lacey bra making her shriek before she hid under the old woman's covers.
"Chelsea you have the talent to be a masterful assassin, but you are too easily flustered and lack stamina" Babara said with a heavy sigh as she put her hands over her eyes. "The entire reason I had you enter this test was for you to gain some combat experience but instead you leached off of Taeko the entire time and Taeko you should know better than to allow Chelsea to just squeeze by on luck. You spoil her to much" Babara scolded as Taeko looked down at her knee's.
"I understand ma'am and I deeply apologize. I just didn't want Chelsea to die" Taeko said as Babara pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Taeko you are excellent at dealing death but when it comes to common sense you are lacking. Now I didn't say you couldn't save or protect her. All I was saying was that she needs to learn how to fight for herself because despite how important her skills are in stealth assassinations.
They will not and cannot always save her because some fights in this world are unavoidable or unescapable" Babara said as she was honestly not sure if she should keep them or send them both to Merraid since that woman would teach these brats some real-world lessons a lot faster than she would or even felt like.
Seriously she was an old woman now. She should be retired and living a lazy life instead of teaching the next generations of assassins. If that damn Merraid wasn't so busy with her harem of woman she could become the best leader of the Oarburgh in the history of the clan but sadly that woman is too busy enjoying the sins of the flesh.
Honestly, this is why people are starting to doubt the death dealing clan of Oarburgh. Not because of our ability to kill but because of our ability to keep our pants, skirts, and dresses zipped up for god's sake.
"Granny you're breaking the chair" Taeko said getting Babara's attention as Babara saw that she gripped the arms of her chair so tight that she actually ripped them off.
"Don't call me granny. Now I admit that the boy you were tagging along with does have a lot of potential but at the moment he is far too weak so…I will decide what happens next when all of the test takers are present and accounted for by the seventh day." Babara with a yawn as her mental thoughts and dealing with stress was starting to wear her out for the day.
Seriously she is an old woman and should be relaxed but instead she just get's stressed on top of stress and the worst part is the fact that she had to constantly get reminded of her failure to lead the clan she was born into. If only she was young again, she would put that horny hive queen in her place and teach her how to be a proper assassin.
From the ground up of course since her teachers apparently taught her way too much about the seduction parts of killing in this idiotic war.

End!
A/N: Okay this is a new story of a Akame Ga Kill with a gamer protagonist because why not? And yes ladies and gents this will be a harem story and yes I am using the Akame Ga Kill manga story lines from the prequel to the original canon manga to the newer sequel even if I don't completely agree to how the sequel doing.
Now it isn't bad but I just don't feel the same magic that I do for the prequel and main storyline…Anyway if you like this story than please fav and follow the story and leave a review because it is very helpful.
P.S: I will not explain who is in the harem because death is always a possibility in this story and I don't want to confirm anything about anyone since I don't know if I will kill certain people or not since this story is obviously not going to be canon in any shape or form.
P.S.S: I will make a character sheet later for this story.
