Prince of The Damned: A Gamers Tale.

Thoughts 'I wonder where I am?'
Speaking "no I'm new around here"
System [You have levelled up]
Deity, Spirit, unknown entity speaking, "You Dare"

Unknown Time, Unknown Place.
Sat there in the eternal and never-ending darkness of the void was a young teenage boy with brown hair and hazel eyes simply floating there with barley any recollection of his previous life.
'You know I always imagined the afterlife being something akin to Heaven or Hell and not just a vast emptiness' he thinks solemnly.
'Come to think of it I don't remember much if anything. Who even am I?' He asks in his head confused as to where he was.
He remembered small details of his life but nothing about his personal life, like who he was or how old he was.
[Welcome! You have been chosen as the Host of the Gamer System!]
He jumped in shock "H-hello?! Who's there?"
[General world knowledge has been retained, while all personal information has been erased to ensure an easy transition for host.]
[Hello Host, I am the Gamers System and you have been chosen to be the gamer.]
His eyes widened to an unnatural size 'Wait what the hell?!, As in those systems from the fanfictions I used to read?!!' Then he pauses for a second confused at the memories invading his mind.
[Yes exactly]
"You can read my mind?!" He asked shocked.
[Of course, I can I've latched on to your soul and that gives me access to everything including your mind.]
"I-i see." He mumbles silently, shocked at the situation he was in.
[Wonderful, shall we get started then? To start the process, press the start button in front of you.]
He looked down to see a screen that popped up in front of him.
With a few minutes to think and calm down, he finally pressed start.

As he looks at the screen he feels himself calming down all his previous emotions like fear gone, "Huh neat," he said checking out his Gamers Mind skill, "Guess that works," he said while smirking slightly.
[Yes, moving on.]
[Your name has been pre-chosen, so we can skip that.
Please select a race.]
[Human] [?] [?] [?] [?]
The brown-haired teenager looked at the question marks and raised his eyebrow and asked, "Hey system what's with the question marks?"
[Well host the question marks are random races they could be anything from a [Slime] to a [Primordial dragon god.]
"Oh," he says seemingly wondering if it was worth the risk, 'On the good side I could get an OP race that would make me basically invincible like a Godling or even a Saiyan (with some training of course) but I could also become weak and potentially be killed straight off and if there was one thing i didn't want, it was to not die again, especially since I can't remember much of my last life.'
After thinking about it for a few minutes he decided it was best to see the benefits of becoming a human before making a choice that could very well change the course of his future. "Hey, system, what stats and benefits would I get as a human?"
[Good question host give me a second]

"Well that's basically what I expected," he said in thought as he sighed, "Ah well I didn't get reincarnated to be boring," he says as he clicks [?] "Please system give me something good."
[Race Selected]
[Race: ???]
"What, are you telling me that I just took a massive risk just for you to not tell me what I got?!" After a few seconds, I feel my mind relax and took a deep breath before I hear the system speak.
[Your race will be shown when you go to your new life.]
He sighs and then he figures it's not that big of a deal anyway.
[Anyways…. Time for character customisation!]
[Warning body may change due to race or age.]
the screen disappears and suddenly I find myself in a white room with a naked body that is more akin to an extremely life-like mannequin that's missing all the features that make a person.
Welcome to Character Creation!
Please make your new avatar!
His small smile turns into a big grin, as a featureless body appears in front of him and a customisation screen, like the ones he used to use in the video games he played, showed up in front of him.
'New world, new me,' he thinks with a grin as he starts customising his body.
~35 mins later~
Looking proudly at his new body after he took his time to make it he was rewarded for his labours, his new body stood at 5'11 ft just below what he considered too tall, the body belonged to a teenage boy, he had pure white coloured hair with golden eyes with slits in them like a dragons and an angelic face with high cheek bones, with a full six pack with lean but powerful muscles, he had the body of a very athletic swimmer with aristocratic and captivating features which would only look better as his CHA increased, had a definite childishness on it which will make MILFS motherly senses tingle. His teeth are perfectly white and he had cute little fangs. His face would capture the attention of any who saw it. 'I'll have no problem with the ladies,' he thought excitedly.
He may not remember anything from his old life but he knew he wanted to look good and otherworldly.
He also made sure to make his pride and joy as a man a few inches bigger to feel some sort of manly pride. After finishing he pressed the finished button as soon as did his new body shifts and morphs and the next thing he knows his skin is smooth and he can see strands of white hair.
After that he just did some minor adjustments here and there until He got something He felt pleased with the results. Looking over his new avatar body He can't help but feel proud of himself Oh why not two or three extra inches wouldn't hurt right? There we go, now this is good!
He noticed that the custom body has disappeared and it doesn't take a genius to find out what happened.
[Now just 1 more step before we get you to your new world!]
"Oh nice," he says.
[Bloodline skill given due to race and heritage]
[Bloodline skill - [Umbramancer]
"I don't know if I should be worried or happy," he said slightly concerned he may have messed up with his race selection.
"What does the bloodline skill [Umbramancer] do?" He asks hoping it's good
Bloodline skill

Gain 5 INT and WIS every level.
Gives user control of shadows, better control and abilities come with more levels. Known for being extremely versatile and dangerous once levelled up.
[Alert: the Bloodline skill [Umbramancer] has been locked due to unknown heritage]
He stares at the screen and only one word comes out of his mouth "Fuck…".
He looks at the screen for a few seconds before realising the game called it a special skill so he decided to ask "how can I get more of these affinity's?"
[Alert: Bloodline skills can only be gained through bloodline or a blessing from a god and of course in the bloodline section of the shop.]
"I see, it seems I'll have to find out who my parents are to unlock it. Better do that soon since it seem detrimental to my growth to keep it locked" he said pondering over it.

"Damn it I want more but I don't think it's a good idea." He said in a frustrated tone, a second later Gamers mind kicks in and he decides it's best to stop before he gets something devastating.
[Well now that's done]
[Starter world has been preselected due to heritage and race.]
"Oh I see well I hope it isn't bad," he says only slightly nervous, "I do hope it's not something like dark souls," he shivers and then he stops and wonders why he can still remember that.

[Background: Dante's father [?] Went on a business trip to the underworld, where he attended a party and then met [?] they both eventually drunkenly had sex resulting in the birth of the Dante. She could not raise Dante herself due to fear of her husband killing him so she gave him to Dante's father [?] Who then left him to be raised by humans who later on died due to a monster attack resulting in Dante's father leaving him at the lotus hotel until he was needed, while his mother watched as he was taken away..]
He deadpans while reading his background and finally says, "Couldn't have made it more generic if you tried Game."
[Says the pervert who gave himself a bigger penis.]
"Touché," he says slightly embarrassed.
