Here we go, my first attempt at a gamer story.

I don't own Highschool DxD

The Game

Regular speech: "."

Thoughts '.'

[Welcome to the Game]

The words appeared before me like magic. I've been sitting here in… Purgatory? For ages it felt like. My shock was quickly fading.

'Thinking has been hard ever since I got here, almost like my emotions are muted'

I glanced around the empty void, waiting for the next words.

'A whole lot of nothing.'

[Generating a world based upon user's desires]

[...]

[World selected, Highschool DxD]

"My desire? I knew I liked the show, but to actually live in an ecchi-anime world?"

I thought about the good points and the bad.

"Having a harem is almost guaranteed. Managing one, now that I think about it, would be quite hard realistically."

I thought about it for a moment while waiting for the next words.

"Could I really love more than one person equally?"

It goes against everything my previous society taught me. Before I could think any more, more words appeared.

[Class generated based on previous life]

[...]

[Illusionist]

"Im guessing that I'll be able to mind rape people eventually. Bending wills and gathering information will be useful. Could be alot worse." I say, looking on the brightside.

[Your race for this playthrough will automatically be Human, for our enjoyment.]

'That's pretty bad to say the truth. Being a human is like being chosen as an ant, among the other races of DxD' I thought in mild disappointment. After a moment, more words appeared.

[The administrator has offered you a one-time chance Gacha for a subrace.]

'This could be really good, or really bad, if I've learned anything from Gachas' I mulled over the decision in my head.

"How many different subraces are there?" I ask outloud, feeling stupid for talking to floating words.

[Over 300]

"Damn, thats quite the risk, I could end up being something stupid, but theres also the fact that I'll get some cool racial ability." I think about it for a moment before nodding my head.

"I'll take the gacha."

[Generating Gacha Results]

[...]

[Subrace Given: Vampire Halfling.]

A wave of relief overcame me. 'I felt quite nervous deciding, but I'm glad I took the chance.' I wanted to dance in place, thinking of all the bad races that could affect my appearance and abilities.

"An Illusionist Vampire Halfling... has a nice ring to it." Thank you RNG Gods. The words disappeared and more appeared a moment later.

[Appearance is decided based on race and previous desires.]

[Commencing the Game.]

Before I could say anything, my body suddenly felt like it was caught on fire.

Pain surged throughout my body, agony beyond everything I've ever felt.

After what felt like a century, the pain stopped.

I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling wherever I was. It was a grey stone. I looked around and noticed I was on a mattress on the cold concrete floor. I noticed a metal tray laying in front of a large metal door.

I looked down at my body and noticed that I was a teenager by the size of my torso and hands. I wasn't wearing a shirt and had old black shorts on. My body was sickly and I could see my ribs. Not a pretty picture. Before I could panic, all the emotions left my body and I saw in the corner of my eyes words.

[Gamers Mind Activated]

'That's right, I have the abilities of the Gamer.' I thought, appreciating the novelty of Gamers Mind.

"Status " I mutter softly.

[Ryu Arya]

[The Gamer]

[Level 3]

[HP: 80/100]

[MP: 100/100]

[Ryu is a halfblood vampire of the royal court of Arya. His whole life is the cell he is in. Ryu is confused and is panicking]

[Strength: 1]

[Agility: 1]

[Wisdom: 2]

[Intelligence: 5]

[Luck: 1]

[Charisma:1]

[Status Effects:]

[Malnourished: Permanent reduction of HP]

[Slave: Permanent decrease of Charisma]

[Vampiric Grace: (Locked)]

[Vampiric Charm: (Locked)]

"Not good, those stats are horrible, even though I'm level 3" I say out loud. My mind then went to the bio of my character sheet.

'Ryu Arya' The name felt foreign yet it seemed to fit me more than any other, especially since I can't remember my old one. Now onto the glaring problem, the fact that I'm a slave.

'I must be a bastard child and it seems I'm treated as such.' I then heard footsteps and I jumped up in surprise.

The door was being pounded on. I then heard a sick twisted voice say.

"It's food time doggy, now come and get your kibble." The door was opened and a slop of food drenched in blood was tossed onto the metal plate. With the door opened I saw a man with golden blonde hair and red slitted eyes. I ignored him in order to see if I had the full Gamer's Abilities.

'Observe'

[Ledstat Arya]

[Level: 20]

[HP: 500]

[MP:250]

[The weak, pure blooded brother of Ryu. Ledstat is feeling ?]

[Observe level has gone up (2)]

"Eh? Normally you come and eat this like a cockroach immediately." He stared at me for a moment and I quickly thought

'Skills'

[Skills]

[(Passive) Gamer's Body: As long as HP does not reach 0, the Gamer can fight indefinitely]

[(Passive) Gamer's Mind: Foreign mental effects nullified. Allows the Gamer to fight in extreme conditions]

[Observe: Gain's knowledge on whatever the Gamer wishes, depending on the level of the skill. (Level 2)]

[Novice Mind Reader: Allows the Gamer to target another creature's mind and view recent memories. (Level 1)(95 mana)]

'So all I have access to is Novice Mind Reader? I better hold off because I have no idea if he would sense it or not'

Ledstat comes over to me slowly and says

"You have a different look in your eye, Doggy, beg me and I won't 'play' with you today." I widen my eyes. 'This asshole tortures me!?'

I scoff at him and he backhands me immidiately. I grit my teeth

[Skill Gained: Pain Tolerance (1)]

"A filthy halfbreed like you should treat their betters with respect." He says smugly

I hear more footsteps as a woman in a maid outfit quietly walks up to him.

"Lord Arya requires your presence"

She glances at me subtly but I notice.

'Observe'

[Stellar]

[Level 5]

[HP: 120]

[MP:10]

[A maid of the Arya family. Stellar is feeling ?]

[Observe level has gone up (3)]

"Fine, I guess our time is short today, halfblood." He says and walks out leaving me and the maid alone.

She looks at me with sympathy, but turns around and walks out shutting the metal door behind her.

I close my eyes and think about how I could escape this place.

[Quest Gained: A Way Out]

[Grow stronger and find a way out]

[Rewards: 10 levels, Slave title revoked, ?]

I grin at the quest notification. 'A way out huh? That, I can work with'

I then sat back on the bed, with my back to the wall.

'In the manga, Jihan is able to do mundane tasks to gain points in the main stats. The problem is that I have no idea what to level up.' I guess I can do workouts all day today.

As I scheme, I hear scuttling in the corner of the room. I turned my attention towards it and found a small rat coming out of a hole in the side of the room. I grin at the opportunity.

"One problem though, I have no idea how to cast a spell." The rat walks up to me curiously. I walk to the tray slowly and place it in front of me and the rat comes and slowly eats the slop. It avoids the blood and after a few minutes it leaves. I frown at the sudden turn of events. I glance at the tray and look at the blood that's left over the half eaten food. I feel a tightening in my chest and I suddenly get thirsty. As I lick the blood, I feel a fiery hatred enter my body.

"I will make my escape, and this place will be behind me." After I finish humiliating myself I understand that I need to eat.

'Or maybe it's just blood?' Something to think about another time. I look down at the slop and place it next to the rat hole.

After a few moments I sit down with my legs crossed and let all my thoughts flow. After a few hours spent doing nothing I open my eyes and see more words appear.

[Skill Gained: Meditation(1)]

I smirk and open my status and I read the new entry.

[Meditation: A Skill to restore mana and clear the thoughts of the Gamer. Mana is restored depending on the level. Allows access to mana]

I felt the effects of it immediately, and could now feel a strange power pulsing through my body. I then heard more noise from the rat hole. Multiple rats appeared and are now eating the slop. I grin again and slowly walk up to the biggest one. It looks at me and I focus my mana and try to force myself into its mind. After a few moments I see a few pictures and the sporadic thoughts of the rat. I then get a searing headache and am forced out of the spell.

[Novice Mind Reader level has gone up(2)]

[Pain Tolerance level has gone up (2)]

[Intelligence has gone up 1 level]

I grin wildly and smile through the pain. It dulls after a few seconds. 'So information paid for by my pain.'

I quickly look at my status and notice that my MP has been almost completely depleted. The rat that I casted the spell on comes up to me and sniffs me, before going back to the meal.

[Title Gained: The Rat Prince]

[Rats are more likely to like and serve you]

"Perfect, normally such a title is useless, but I think it's perfect for what I have in mind."

Thanks for reading. This will be my first gamer story after reading a couple. Things will be rocky until I get the hang of it. Chapters will be pumped out as fast as my muse lets me. My pms will be open to anyone who wants his full stat sheet, just let me know which chapter. As for pairings, I'm honestly not sure, definitely a harem though.
