Congratulations: You're [Dead]!
"Well, fuck you!" I screamed at the text floating in the black void that I found myself in.
Now, I know it is not very smart on my part to insult the [System] that could very well end my remaining consciousness, but I was angry...and hungry. A bad combination for me.
But, how could I not be angry?
2020 has been one kick to the balls after another.
I was just in my last semester at college to get my degree, when the fucking Coronavirus hit. Because all the new rules the education system had to go through the program I was trying to graduate from was cancelled. Bye bye college degree.
Then my job closed, and because most of my savings actually go to paying for college, I was forced to sell most of my stuff…
Why the hell am I even talking about this?
I DIED FROM STARVATION!
Believe me, that is not really a good way to go.
...even Truck-kun would have been a better option.
...mom, I am sorry.
If you have calmed down, let me continue with this.
Hey, asshole, I am having a mini breakdown here!
And I am getting impatient...
Sorry, you can continue.
Better to not anger the all mighty.
Welcome, [Host of the Gamer System]. Due to a cosmic chance you have been selected as the next [Gamer].
May the odds be ever in my favor.
Skills Gained:
-[Gamer's Mind] (Passive)
Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through.
Allows peaceful state of mind.
Grants immunity to psychological status effects.
-[Gamer's Body] (Passive)
Grants a body that allows for the user to live real life as a game.
-[Observe] (Active)
Provides information on target.
Ok, so no the OP [Gamer System], but one that has the potential to grow stronger. Me like it.
And it is also nice not to be feeling so much anger at the moment. Now that I think about it, most of my worst decisions were caused by me acting out of anger over something.
Thank you [System].
Your thanks are unnecessary. Just try to survive. Please, let's start on the character creation.
Nice.
I never had the most fit body while alive, so it would be a nice change of pace.
Please select your name: [?].
Well, this is a new life, so my old name should stay with the old me. And well, there were always constants I commit when choosing usernames for video games or role plays.
New name selected: [Dante Wolf].
A little snobbish, but I had grown playing with that name.
Please Select a Race:
[Human] [Slime] [Demon] [Angel] [Hybrid] [?]
Well, this is risky.
Slime is a no-go. There is no way I could get the same chances Rimuru got at his isakai adventure. That was more Plot Armor than even Sieg got.
Demon and Angel I must also pass. If I am one or the other there are a lot of doors that would close to me just because of my race. I have enough of those as a mexican.
Hey [Game], what is Hybrid? Of what species?
The [Hybrid] option is the union of 2 species completely randomized.
It could be that of a [Dragon] and a [God], or something insignificant, such as a [Slug] and a [Fish]
...don´t think so.
Well, that also crosses the 3 questions marks, that I believe represents random.
Human it is [Game].
[Human]
Jack of all trades, an infinity potential behind this species.
Gain 25% bonus class exp.
Please Select a Class:
[Warrior] [Mage] [Rogue]
I was never the most active person in life, so [Fighter] is out. [Rogue] would be a huge disadvantage for me, as people tend to be wary of shadowy persons, which [Rogue] will undoubtedly contain. [Mage] sounds more like my type of thing, with all the being on the back lines and that.
Seriously, enemies will concentrate more on the idiot fighting face to face or the slippery assassin on the background, meanwhile a [Mage] can prepare a huge ass spell to repeat a Second Hiroshima on any fucker.
Please Select an Specialisation:
[Elemental Mage] [Illusionist] [Druid] [Summoner] [Necromancer]
[Elemental Mage] sounds interesting. The power of the elements bound to my will is a very tempting prospect.
[Illusionist] is a big no. I would not have many means to defend myself at the beginning. I am no Rokuro Mukuro for Christ's sake. Maybe I could learn it later…?
Once the current [Specialisation] is completed the [Gamer] will be able to choose another, or even a new [Class] altogether.
That's a very convenient setting. Chance to explore new things in this new life.
[Druid] sounds also very tempting, but it has a serious weakness against many things such as contamination. Also, there are many overpowered assholes who would not have a problem burning down everything I throw at them on my first levels.
I salivate at the prospect of [Summoner]. Even Gods themselves can be bound to be nothing more than my familiars. Hell, it didn't say anything that it has to be living beings. I could pull-off a Madara and summon a freaking meteorite.
I will not even mention [Necromancer]. [Summoner] is practically the same and with a wider range of options. Also [Necromancer] is such an Edgelord thing.
It is very difficult indeed, between [Elemental Mage] and [Summoner]. Both had the potential of godlike power at my fingertips, and also involved my favorite type of combat; not be there at all.
I am a coward. Sue me.
Although, maybe it is my laziness speaking, but having minions that do all the heavy lifting for me is more up to my alley.
Sorry [Elemental Mage], but hey, I will come back for you once [Summoner] is complete.
Class Gained:
-[Summoner] LV 1/100(0%)
Gain 5 INT and WIS every level.
Skill Gained:
-[Summon Golem] (Active)
100 to cast.
Summon a weaker level Golem of materials close by to fight for you. You can only summon 1 golem per 5 INT.
Golem's stats may vary depending on the rate of the materials used for its construction.
-[Summon Elemental] (Active)
100 to cast.
Summon a weaker level Elemental to fight for you. You can only summon 1 Elemental per 5 INT.
Elemental can be summoned and dismissed at will.
Elementals available: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air.
That's a rather short repertoire.
Now I feel bad for mocking [Necromancer]. I am pretty sure this is some type of karma.
New Skills for the [Summoner] Class can be learned through Grimoires or leveling up the Class itself.
With time you would be able to Summon more types of creatures.
Now I actually feel better. Just another reason to level up.
What's next [System]?
Character Personalization:
Ok, that one was kind of obvious.
Hmm, I should probably go for black hair, short and brushed to the right. Eyes, I am actually comfortable with my regular brown ones. For my face I just selected a plain one, I am not that narcissistic to begin with.
Now for the body type…
Bye bye body fat!
Hello sweet swimmer body. With a normal height of 1.75 m.
And now for the [Stats] please.
Dante Wolf
Level - 1
Class - [Summoner] LV 1/100(0%)
Race - Human
Rank - Mortal
Alignment - True Neutral
HP - 100(LV x VIT x 10)
MP - 100(LV x INT x 10)
STR - 10
END - 10
DEX - 10
INT - 10
WIS - 10
CHA - 10
LUC - 10
HP Regen = 20 per minute
MP Regen = WIS x 2 per 30 seconds
Okay, all rounded up and even. No surprises such as a fragile body for the moment, although my MP is in serious need for an upgrade. At this rate I can only summon either a Golem or an Elemental every 5 minutes. INT should be the stat I need to raise as soon as possible.
As an optional choice, random flaws can be given in exchange for a bonus.
Choices choices choices.
This could very well be the doom for me, my MP reduced by half can actually get me killed. My only 2 spells require all my MP, at 50 I could do nothing.
But also, I am not here just to live as an extra on some story. Hit me with it [Game]!
Trait Gained:
-[Sin of Wrath]
Even the slightest offenses will be treated with an explosive impulsiveness.
You shall be easy to anger.
Perk Gained:
-[Blaze]
When the flame is in danger of extinguishing, a scorching inferno will be liberated.
When HP reaches below 5% all Stats will be multiplied times 50 during 5 minutes.
So, I have a short fuse and an almost suicidal ability totally stolen from Pokemon.
...fuck it. Give me another one, maybe this time I get something more useful.
Trait Gained:
-[Real Life Scarface]
You know pain, you got the marks to prove it.
Good Aligned individuals will mistrust you instinctively.
Perk Gained:
-[Galvanism]
Even from scraps you can build-up something.
You are capable of regenerating your MP twice faster if there is residual magical energy in the air.
Assimilation of foreign energies will always result in success for you.
Now that's what I am talking about. Just some scars on my face to make Heath Ledger proud and I can basically pull off an Acnologia or even absorb some weird shit. This could really well balance out my [Sin of Wrath].
Also, is it really THE Sin of Wrath?
Correct. Daemons and Angels should feel something is off about you, but not enough to call for extreme measures.
So, say, could a Daemon Lord slightly...modify my Sin? Make it less problematic?
5 INT, 5 WIS for thinking ways to overcome one of your flaws.
Free points!
Ok, enough is enough. Even though [Galvanism] has the potential to be one of my more useful assets I am pretty sure I spend my luck with this roulette..
I think that's it, right?
Correct. Now please Select a Starting World:
[Highschool Dx-]
NO!
NO FUCKING WAY AM I STARTING AT THAT PLACE!
What kind of sane person chooses DxD as a starting point?! There are tons of bullshit characters there that can erase you from existence with a simple gesture!
No soul should willingly go to that hell on their first trial.
[RWBY] [Star Wars*] [ASOIAF] [Nasuverse*] [MCU] [Arrowverse*] [Bleach]
Now that's better. Worlds a lot safer and with less chances for me to lose a fuse over bullshit plot.
Although, what are those weird symbols next to Star Wars, the Nasuverse, and the Arrowverse?
[*] Represents multiple starting points to choose from. Different types of canon.
That makes sense. There is the Canon from Legends on Star Wars and the cluster fuck Disney made. The Nasuverse practically has an interdimensional troll. And the Arrowverse has multiple Earths.
Now, to choose a world from these options.
Both the Nasuverse and Bleach are the first to be out. Either Zelretch fucks me over with something or the Counter Force detects me as a threat. Hell, even Goetia or the Alien God may seek to destroy me out of fear of something else trying to interfere with their turf war.
Meanwhile Bleach has Yhwach and his Almighty. The only ability broken enough that even Aizen's Zanpakuto didn't work.
RWBY I see more as a second or third world to visit. While the second least threatening on the list, either Ozma or Salem will stalk me constantly, leaving little space for me to grow. I would not go there as a rookie, but as a conqueror.
The Arrowverse I am not that really worried about. The Monitor may actually see me as a key player against the Anti Monitor, me being from a different plane of existence and all that. Also, there is the prospect of hooking up with Supergirl...that skirt does me something.
Star Wars has a lot of promise actually. I can choose which canon to follow, which means a lot of toys for me to take away while the Republic and whomever they are fighting with are occupied with their measurement contest.
ASOIAF should be hands down the easiest of the lot. The most threatening thing there is the Night King and the Others, and I can summon an army myself of either Dragon Glass Golems or Fire Elementals. Hell, the Fire Elementals alone would give me a whole cult to control.
...but it is weaker. Even if I am the most powerful being there, by the time I go to a different world I would still be very weak myself.
The MCU has its own troubles. I am not sure of myself to fight against Thanos. Hell, Odin or Strange may detect a foreign entity on earth. And there is also HYDRA, those fuckers would send everything SHIELD has at is disposal to capture me. Even though it has a LOT of ways for me to enhance myself, it is not worth it in the end.
This decision may come to bite me in the ass later on, but [Game], I choose Star Wars.
[Star Wars] Confirmed.
Please, Select an Starting Point:
[KOTOR] [SWTOR*] [Battlefront] [Jedi Academy] [Republic Commando] [The Force Unleashed] [Episodes I, II, and III] [Episodes IV, V, and VI] [Episodes VII, VIII, and IX]
Those...are a lot of places to choose from.
The Disney Chapters are out! Either I have to suffer watching Rey having all served for her on a silver plate or the emo Kylo.
No, just no.
I Refuse!
If I hoose the most recent movies or games there is the chance of Palpatine finding out about me.
Or, gods forbid, Abeloth.
I shiver at the prospect of The Mother being liberated a couple of years earlier from her prison just because of my interference.
That pretty much shortens the list by a good chunk.
[KOTOR] [SWTOR*]
Ok. KOTOR has Revan, whom I am pretty sure is going to fuck with me a lot. But SWTOR…
[Game], if I choose SWTOR is there a chance I can make the same decisions such as alliance and which storyline to follow?
…
5 WIS for thinking this over.
It is possible. Although elements or characters from the other storylines may crossover to which you choose.
SWTOR it is!
World Selected: [Star Wars - SWTOR*]
Please wait…
Calibrating…
Assimilating [SWTOR System]...
…
Choose your Allegiance:
[Republic] [Empire]
Ok ok.
As part of the Republic I will be watched a lot. That's not a prospect I am rather fond of. Because of the Republic, people will expect for me to follow a certain code of honor. I cannot do that.
Meanwhile, if anyone on the Empire finds me doing something suspicious they will probably just look the other way. Treasons and plotting are an everyday occurrence between the Sith Lords and most people will probably just think of me as a mere pawn. Their mistake but something I can totally take advantage of.
Empire please.
Select Class:
[Sith Warrior] [Sith Inquisitor] [Bounty Hunter] [Imperial Agent]
Wait wait what?!
I can select another Class?!
Due to [SWTOR Gaming System] already having pre-established [Classes], [Gamer] shall be provided with a second [Main Class] altogether.
Huh...?
This is amazing!
Forget everything I told before the Fighter Class, I got UNLIMITED POWER!
[Game]! Sith Warrior - Juggernaut!
Class Gained:
-[Juggernaut] LV 1/100(0%)
Perk Gained:
-[Force User]
Skill Gained:
-[The Force] (Passive)
A Sixth Sense, an ethereal energy that connects the Galaxy.
Doubles STR, END, and DEX permanently.
Alerts of imminent danger.
Again...UNLIMITED POWER!

The first thing I noticed about my new surroundings was the heat of the place. Not surprising considering that Korriban is practically a huge-ass desert, but it is still somewhat bothersome.
Then those words actually registered into my head and I cannot help the gasp that escaped from me.
With barely concealed euphoria I look up into the sky, the statue of a Sith Lord of old being the first thing that crosses my sight, followed shortly after by the pod that left me at this place.
"At last you have arrived. Good, good."
Following the voice, I came face to face with the man that will put me in my path to be the Emperor's Wrath.
Overseer Tremel.

Thoughts about you - Curiosity, greed.
Wow...his stats aren't that much abismal from mine. Although, who knows how difficult it is to actually raise them up?
It could be because of the [Game], the fact he is obviously not in his prime, and that he is a simple Overseer instead of a full blown Lord Sith.
I am actually going to have a rather easy time killing him once I start.
"We have much to do" he continued, ignorant to the fact I was already planning his demise when the time came.
He also has a daughter right? That gives me some ideas…
What the hell?! That's not usually how I think! I should be terrorized by my thoughts but...I don't actually feel like that at all.
[GAME]!
[Gamer's Mind] is more than a simple anti-breakdown. It actually numbs some of your morals.
WHAT?!
WHY?!
For my entertainment.
...oh God.
Are you telling me I am going to turn into a monster?!
You were on the way there before I picked you up. This is the real you. Not binded anymore by those pesky morals that you maintained because of your family.
Accept it.
"For decades, I have administered the trails that prove who is and who is not worthy to join the Sith." Tremel continued, anger fueling me for every word he said.
"You have been sitting your ass on this rock for decades and only are an Overseer? How low the mighty Sith have fallen" my voice was smooth, not at all reflecting my internal struggle.
This must have done something, because Tremel's face contorted into anger for a moment.
Thoughts about you - Curiosity, greed, irritation.
"The trails are to weed out the weak. Try not to be one of them" with a finality in his voice he started to go back to the Academy.
I followed behind him, [Sin of Wrath] dangerously close to be unleashed.
God I am such an idiot for choosing this place.
"You are only here, Slave, because I permitted it. Don't test my patience" his warning and threat are serious, but I really don't care.
"Then don't test MINE and tell me why exactly an Overseer of the Academy asked for the presence of a slave here on Korriban" there was an edge on my voice that I am not sure where it comes from.
"You are smarter than most will give credit for, but you are not ready for that information. Not yet" the fucker is mocking me now. "Such as you, that training blade would not be enough as it is. There is War Blade, in the armory of the Tomb of Ajunta Pall. With it, you will prove you were worthy of all the troubles it caused me to get you here."
And just like that, the asshole walks away. His back turned to me and his defense wide open.
It is so tempting to just kill him and be done with it, but I need to get Baras attention to proceed as I got planned.
With a scowl, I see many Acolytes doing their own Trials, no one none the wiser that they are in the presence of the future Emperor's Wrath.
With a predatory smile now aimed at the tomb in particular, I cannot help the words that came out of my mouth.
"I AM MOTIVATED!"
XxXxX
Well, that's it.
Hello everyone, this is darthwolf with the first chapter of my own Gamer Story. Like most, this was inspired by the work of The Dark Wolf Shirou, Mirlnir, and many, many more.
I will try to give it my most, but please understand that English is my secondary language. I am still learning myself, so I will appreciate any active criticism on your part. For your attention I appreciate it.
I will see ya all next time, here, at "A Gamer's Guide into the Force."
