The Gamer Chronicles Chapter 6.
Apprentice and Evolution.
Thanks so much for the criticism.
To address some of your concerns.
1. Dialogue.
I agree with your comment on there being no emotion being conveyed and I will work on it.
2. Length.
Also true and I am going to try to make the chapters longer from this point onward.
3. Italics.
This I disagree with thoughts are in Italics which is to say that the Italics are his internal monologue.
Thank you so much for putting your criticisms in an inoffensive manner.
Chapter start.
"Hey Issei I have a question for you" He looked up at me. "What's up?" Issei said.
"What would you do if the supernatural existed?" He looked at the sky and raised his fist before saying. "My harem would be fucking amazing."
"Wanna see something cool."
"Hell yeah I wanna see something cool."
I created a ball of lightning "pretty fucking cool huh."
He stared in shock "What the ….. fuck is that."
I smirked "Magic my friend guess your harem is gonna be amazing after all.
Timeskip 15 min
"So angels, fallen angels, devils, youkai, and gods' exist." he said staring at me.
"Please stop staring at me."
"And to to it all off the biblical god created items known as sacred gears and I possess one." he finished still staring.
"All of that is correct."
"The staring is really fucking creepy."
He sighed before saying.
"Why do I feel my life is about to get a lot stranger"
"Oh without a doubt."
"Well …. oh fuck it I want a harem full of supernatural hotties I'm in I'll become your apprentice."
I grabbed him by the shoulder and pointed to the sky.
"Oh you'll get a harem a harem so great you will be the target of men's jealousy across the world.
"I will not disappoint you sensei." He said while muttering about his hopes for his harem.
"Yes your torture begins soon."
"I'm sorry what did you say."
"I wasn't paying attention."
"I said your training begins tomorrow." I said sheepishly.
Timeskip 14 Hours.
"Training begins now Issei but first."
Form party.
Invite Issei Hyoudou.
He stared at the blue screen floating in front of him.
"What the fuck did you just do!?"
"Bit of context for you I live life as if it were a videogame, and when I invite someone to my party they also live life as a game."
"Ok that's pretty cool." He shrugged.
"You don't seem that shocked."
"We live in a world where devils, angels, fallen angels, youkai, vampires, werewolves, and gods all exist how is it any stranger than all of that." He said.
"Uh you bring up a very good point there." I said chuckling sheepishly.
"Any way time to see your stats."

I tilted my head in confusion"Huh why is your damn Vit score so high it's higher than mine."
"How does your Vit score increase." he asked.
"Well the easiest way for it to increase is by getting hit." I responded.
He chuckled sheepishly "Would peeking on girls and getting the shit beaten out of me count."
I stared at him and sighed. "Yeah that would work and I hate to say this but you should keep that up."
He smiled "Well I'm certainly not gonna say no to that."
"Anyway let's move on."

"Ok so you don't have many skills."
"Why are some of them Lv0." He questioned.
"It means that the skills aren't active once you use them then it'll be Lv1.
"Ok so I suppose it's time to unlock my sacred gear right." He asked.
I tapped my chin before saying. "No first you will learn to tap into your draconic energies."
"First focus and imagine the flow of energy coursing through your body and bring it out."
"I would suggest sending it through your arm." I lectured.
"Okay sure might as well try." He closed his eyes in concentration.
After about 10 minutes a small red orb about an inch in diameter formed.
"Okay take that energy and aim it at that tree over there." I said pointing at the tree.
"Got it." He said aiming at the tree.
Throwing his fist forward it sent the orb flying before [booooom] with an explosion the sise of a grenade the tree was obliterated.
"Holy shit did I just do that that is so badass." he said fist pumping.
"But in the end completely useless it took you 10 minutes to charge up an attack of that magnitude."
If you want it to be useful in combat you're going to have to learn to create it faster so do it again." I lectured.
"Oh I got some new skills."

"Okay Issei for your training just use dragon shot repeatedly."
"Is that it?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah once you run out of energy just rest till you have more I will also be training."

"I think that's enough for one day right Issei uh Issei you okay."
"Yeah just really exhausted."
"Ah well you should probably head home."
"See you tomorrow." He said as he walked away.
"Right." Well I think that went well. Is what I thought before hearing a crashing noise. I looked over to see Issei on the ground. I forgot to turn of the barrier didn't I?
Id escape. "Sorry about that Issei." I apologised.
"Yeah it's cool." He said.
Now it's time for me to train.
Timeskip 1 ½ hours.
I panted exhausted before noticing a glow coming from my sacred gear.
Tutorial sacred gear evolution when your sacred gear reaches a certain level you gain new abilities or an already existing ability gets improved. Please choose one of two abilities.
Blessing of Hermes every member of your party's DEX score is doubled.
Curse of Hermes your enemy's DEX score is halved.
I thought it over before deciding to pick Curse of Hermes. Reasoning that it would be most useful in a one on one battle.
Chapter end.
So I would like to say something after this chapter don't expect any chapter for the rest of this month. The reason why is because I want to make sure the next couple of chapters will be as good as possible.
