1. The Gamers Ascent

A Gamer's Guide to Classy Villainy.

Chapter 1 (The Gamer's Ascent.)

Unknown Time. Unknown Place.

I'd never really given much thought to a God or any religion, I never needed to. I had everything a man could want in my life. I was the son of an extremely wealthy businessman, with any worldly pleasure I wanted at my fingertips, so I guess I just never thought about it.

I was somewhat regretting that now though, evidently whatever deity existed had decided that this… void was to be my punishment for my arrogance.

No Heaven, no hell, just a mind numbing boring nothingness.

"How long have I been in this fucking void?" I asked no one in particular, I mean seriously I've been floating here for ages and I'm starting to go mad with boredom. If some deity expected me to apologise they could go fuck themselves. A blinding light suddenly erupted in front of me, as if it was the answer to my frustrations.

[Start Game.]

[Yes/No]

After the light died down. I glanced up in confusion. What. The. Fuck. Those were basically my main thoughts right now. I wasn't the religious type. But if I indeed was, then I would most certainly would've thought that I was being sent to hell or whatever other religion equivalent to eternal damnation existed.

Shrugging I reached up and pressed the screen with my finger watching as it vanished and formed another blue screen.

Congratulations! You're dead!

You have been chosen as the Host of the Gamer System!

I flinched at the loud sound of the monotone female voice that pierced my ears after so long of nothing but silence and raised an eyebrow in amusement and slight confusion. "Have I finally lost it?" I asked myself wondering if I had finally lost my mind after all the time in the void. The blue screen suddenly changed once more.

Hello Host, I am the Gamers System and you have been chosen to be a Gamer.

I flinched as the words once again slipped through my head like someone was speaking them into my ear. I still didn't see anyone anywhere. I mulled over what the voice had said. Gamers System? That sounded familiar. My eyes suddenly widened. Wait, a second, surely it can't be referring to those stories I used to read when I was bored.

'The Gamer... system?'

Oh shit…

Looking up in bewilderment, I suddenly laugh. To think such an absurd power was real, it was just too funny. "I'm guessing you can read my mind then," I ask the.. Game? For confirmation.

Well of course I can. You're my host, that means I've latched on to your soul and that gives me access to everything about you, and that includes your mind.

"I see." Reincarnation into a fictional world then?

Correct, the world you will be sent to has been pre-selected, shall we get started with character customization then?

I grinned and gave a single nod to continue.

Perk Gained.

[Gamers Mind: This allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Reduces fear and anxiety and grants a peaceful state of mind when required. Grants immunity to psychological status effects.

Perk Gained.

[Gamers Body: Grants a body that allows for the user to live real life like a game, negates any and all permanent damage.

Skill Gained

[Observe] (Active): Provides information on the target: their name, their level, and their stats.

"Huh, cool." Looking over the basic Gamer skills I had obtained. I was worried I'd get a shitty version of the Game, that didn't give me the OP mind and body, now I won't have to worry about some higher being mind-raping me with [Gamers Mind] and if the description of [Gamers Body] is to be believed, in theory, I should be able to survive anything as long as I have HP. Assuming I have HP?

Affirmative, moving on.

Your name has been pre-chosen.

Please select a race.

[Human] [?] [?] [?] [?]

Interesting. "I'm guessing the question marks are random races?" I ask the system for confirmation.

Yes, warning: not all races will be better than humans. Some races are much worse than humans. Such as [Cockroach] and [Rat] but on the other hand, there are some extremely overpowered races. Such as [God] and [Saiyan] those are just a few that you are familiar with.

I see, so a double-edged sword. While I could pick a random race it could be something extremely bad and could potentially get me killed immediately which is obviously not acceptable, but on the other hand, could potentially give me an overpowered race which would give me a good start and essentially give me a massive boost in power from the get-go. Or I could play it safe and choose [Human] and just work extra hard and for longer to gain power. Since I'm presuming humans are pretty weak no?

Generally? Yes. Although there are also quite a few humans with a lot of power that they gained through various methods, in the world you are going to have many other races who are commonly much more powerful. There are many powerful beings that will be in your new world and not all are noble.

I hummed as a feral grin suddenly spread across my face in excitement. How exciting. It would seem that the System knows where I'm going and judging by the system's words it seems my new world won't be filled with normal humans. But that's to be expected.

"Eh fuck it, I spent my last life as a human, may as well try something else out. Who knows, it could be fun." I said with a shrug. My life was boring being the son of a rich businessman. I don't plan for my new life to be monotonous, especially with this System. With a grin of anticipation, I click [?].

Skill gained.

[Fire manipulation] [Rank - E]

[The ability to manipulate fire, the fire element is considered the most destructive of the five. Due to its destructive nature, it's considered the most dangerous element and hardest to control. The power and versatility of the skills that can be created scales proportionally to the rank of the skill.] (Cost: varies)

I quickly read through all the new notifications with a massive grin on my face as I feel the excitement, unlike anything before blooming in my chest. It seems my gamble had paid off. I was a fucking Demi-God! Literally half motherfucking God. One of the best races you could honestly get. I had an insane 6x multiplier to all of my stats, a frankly ridiculous multiplier for HP and MP, as well as gaining 15 stat points for every year I live. I had lucked the fuck out.

Not only that though, but the game had also implied I could gain even more benefits if I found out who my Divine parent was. This was lit!

[It's time for character creation!]

My eyes widened in surprise. I hadn't expected to be able to create my own body. That's fucking awesome.

"Let's do this."

[Warning, body may change due to race or age.]

Welcome to Character Creation!

Please make your new avatar!

A formless body appears in front of me with no facial features and no hair. It looked like a mannequin of some sort. Suddenly a purple screen appears in front of me giving me multiple options to design my character. Smiling to myself I begin creating my body.

-Scene break-

Looking at my new body I give a low whistle. I had based my design on Gilgamesh considering he was a badass and he looked pretty awesome. My new body looked pretty much like him.

Standing at 6 feet tall with shiny bright silky golden hair that went down to just slightly above my shoulders and blood-red eyes that seemed to glow with amusement, I had smooth healthy skin, with an aristocratic facial structure, a six-pack and a fit but athletic body. I looked extremely attractive with no imperfections that I could see and a cocky smirk plastered on my face.

I also made sure to make my pride and joy as a man a few inches bigger to finish off the total chad vibe my new look gave off. After finishing, I pressed the finish button as soon as I did my new body shifted and morphed and the next thing I knew my skin was smooth and I could see strands of blonde hair falling down my face.

[Right, nearly done.]

[Next, you will be given the option to spin the wheel of fortune to gain a random power. This is mainly so you won't be at such a disadvantage when going into your new world.]

"I see, are there any limits to the powers I can get?" I asked the system curiously.

[No, but the higher the rarity the much less chance you have of getting it. There is a chance the power you get could be useless or it could be godly; it's completely up to chance. We do this as a sort of starter pack.]

"Awesome, how do I spin this wheel of fortune or whatever," I asked with excitement and anticipation. I wanted to get started and join the land of the living once more to start my new life.

[Spinning the wheel of fortune…]

[Power gained: Enchant Object]

[Enchant Object] [Rank - I]

[Enchant object allows the user to imbue a certain object with magical properties depending on the user's will, the higher the rank of this skill, the more complex and powerful the enchantments can be imbued.] [Warning some enchantments may be limited due to the stage of skill.] (Cost: varies)

Holy shit. I stared in shock. The potential of this skill was incredible. I could enchant items to help me fight or sell them to gain money. It had so many uses that it was perfect for what I needed. Gazing at the rank I tilted my head in confusion. "Hey system, what's with the ranks?" I inquired.

[The rank determines the level of the skill, namely the potential power, versatility, control and overall capabilities of the skill at its current rank. The ranking system is as follows. J, I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and finally EX. J is the lowest rank while EX is the highest you could possibly go, don't expect to reach this level in any skill anytime soon. We use this system to denote the level of the skill.] (Note: Some skills have a much lower rank cap then EX, mostly mundane skills such as [Cooking.])

"Wow," I was speechless, who knows what types of enchantments I could imbue in objects. I had really lucked out here again, I could literally enchant bullets and track enemies without even having to aim. That would completely change the tide of a fight if I could turn a simple grunt with a gun into a deadly sharpshooter and that's just the beginning. I could make a staff that causes thunderstorms or some shit. I was forced out of my internal musings by the system's voice calling out to me.

[Last step before you travel to your new world!]

Would you like to roll a random drawback for a perk?

[Yes] [No]?

For every random flawed trait that is taken, a bonus will be granted.

"Hmm, would these drawbacks be permanent?" I asked the system, feeling a bit apprehensive about the drawbacks. While attaining these perks was tempting, it wouldn't be worth it if I got crippled or something.

[Drawbacks can be removed via quests.]

"I see, very well then." I said with a nod. Raising my finger I pressed [Yes] and observed as the screen started spinning with anticipation.

[Rolling…]

[Trait Gained]

[Lustful: [You are lust incarnate.] [You are drawn to the opposite sex and sexual acts with no worry of the consequence and problems that may arise from acting on said lust.]

[Perk gained]

[Prodigious Learner: [Your inherent biology allows for you to learn anything at a supernatural rate. Users can learn magic twice as fast, 100% level EXP boost, 50% skill EXP boost.]

[Would you like to roll a random drawback for a perk?]

"Well, that's interesting. I didn't expect the drawbacks to be able to affect my emotions." I muttered out as I inspected the screen. I was already lustful before so that's not really a problem. The problem was the part where I wouldn't care or would be ambivalent of the consequences of acting out on said lust. I wasn't too fond of the idea of being ruled by my dick. Eh, if it was too much of a problem I could always get rid of it. The perk is extremely amazing and will help me grow in levels faster. Immediately without thinking I went for another.

[Rolling…]

[Trait gained]

[Remorseless: [Cold, Calculating, Ruthless.] [You don't care what you have to do if it means you achieve your goals.]

[Perk gained]

[Lady Lucks lovechild: [Increases loot drops] [Loot has a chance to be of higher rarity.]

I checked out the trait and shrugged. I was pretty much like that before, I just never had any goals since I was inherently rich. Which is not as fun as it sounds, mostly pretty boring and now I'm a bored asshole with a gamer system and the chance to gain power. What could go wrong, heh. So that won't really change that much. The perk was nice but not really helpful. Eh fuck it one more time.

[Rolling…]

[Trait gained]

[Greedy: [You are greed given form.] [You are drawn to anything valuable, no matter if they are objects or people.]

[Perk gained]

[Photographic memory: [Your memory is unrivalled] [Allows the user to recall any past memory clearly in their minds with unnatural clarity.]

"Ah, shit," I mumbled, I could already tell that the greed trait was going to be a pain in the ass. I should probably stop now. Especially since I can practically feel the greed flood into me at the chance to gain more perks no matter the consequences. At least the perk would be useful and could be put to good use.

"Let's move on, before I'm tempted to click the button again to gain more perks." I said hurriedly. This greed perk was going to fuck me over some day. Ah well, I'll deal with it when it happens.

[Well now that's done.]

[Starter world has been preselected.]

"I just hope it isn't something like dark souls or some other bullshit game." I said with a grimace at the memories. Fucking Kalameet bullshit.

[You are going to the universe of DC.]

"Shit," I said and glared at the system. "Couldn't have chosen a harder universe?" I asked rhetorically.

[I can switch it to Dark Souls or Bloodborne if you wish?]

I froze in horror. "NO, I mean ahem- no DC is quite fine." I said with a sagely nod of wisdom.

[Loading preselected name.]

[Name: Katsu Ryoto]

"Sweet." I wasn't really that bothered about getting some new shitty edgy name but I had to admit I liked my new name.

[Background: You are the only son and heir of Lord Kaden of the house of Ryoto. A clan that has been around for centuries acquiring fortune via weapon and illegal materials trading. As well as having a legal arms dealing business called Ryoto Industries. Katsu Ryoto is known for being a lazy, careless, arrogant and pretentious rich kid with no care for anyone and is considered a failure by his father. Katsu Ryoto is currently 17 years old and is situated on the outskirts of Metropolis city in their family mansion.]

Interesting, so basically my old life huh? Well, at least I won't need to worry about changing my personality. Since I'm guessing my new father probably doesn't have the best relationship with the little old me. I can't help the smirk that crosses my face, how amusing and delightful.

[Character customization complete.]

[Welcome to the Game!]

[Entering the world of DC…]

5.

Wait hold on, what?

4.

"WAIT, I still have more questions," I shouted out in panic.

3.

"Ah, fuck"

2.

"Can you hold on, for one fucking second?!"

1.

Great. Here we go I guess.

[Entering the world of DC…]

[This may hurt a little bit.]

"Huh" I squawked in indignation. Suddenly a massive black miasma opened up beside me and sucked me in like a vacuum. I felt myself travelling faster than should be possible and felt my bones start to rip and tear as my very existence was torn apart and reconstructed.

My body felt on fire like I was being pierced by hundreds of swords coated in fucking acid. I screamed out in pain as my being was set alight and my vision was blurred. Finally, after what felt like hours, the pain began to die down and I found myself slowing down. Then for a second, everything went dark. All sound was gone and the surrounding area was simply black. I was outside reality itself. Until I was shoved back in.

Ryoto Estate. 6:30 PM. Metropolis.

PING!

You have Awoken!

HP And MP Fully Restored!

I woke up with a gasp, and I frantically looked around, sitting up in the floating chair. Hold on. My vision started to focus and I looked around to see I was currently sitting in a floating chair in a massive pool overlooking the city. Glancing behind me I saw a massive mansion along with maids that seemed to be looking at me in worry but I had more pressing issues to address. WHY WAS I WASN'T FUCKING TOLD MY BODY WAS GOING TO BE SHREDDING LIKE SOME SORT OF FUCKING CHEESE BLOCK.

'THAT. FUCKING. HURT.' Why didn't you warn me that it was going to hurt so much? I felt my face go red with fury.

[Technically I did warn you.]

Yeah, like one second before I was sucked into some sort of portal and tortured for hours. Never in my life have I experienced such pain.

[Deal with it.]

I growled and noticed the maids seemed to be getting extremely scared and confused.

"Y-young master?" One of the maids, a cute girl with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, asked hesitantly before another maid appeared, dressed a tad more revealing than the previous one and saw my apparent distress and to my surprise ran over to check on me.

"Katsu, are you okay?" She asked, concerned. Interesting. It would seem this woman has some sort of deeper connection with me than the other maids. Looking her over, she looked like she was in her late twenties with beautiful silver hair and blue eyes. She had an extremely attractive hourglass figure with large and plump full breasts, a flat stomach, nice thick thighs and pouty lips. Her face was smooth and her skin was a nice healthy shade of creamy white, her eyes shined with concern and affection as she looked me over with a frown.

Dragging my eyes of her bodacious figure, bloody hell I could already feel the [Lustful] trait driving me to bend her over right now, clearing my throat and collecting myself, I answered her, "I'm fine, no need to worry."

I climbed out of the pool, towelling off as I headed to the door that led back into the house, my hot maid trailing behind me. Just as I was about to close the door a massive influx of memories assaulted me and I gasped, once more falling to the ground on my hands and knees.

I felt something wet come out my eyes and brought my finger up only to see it was blood. I wasn't too bothered with this since my [Gamers Body] should keep me safe from things like this. This really fucking hurt though, my brain was desperately scrambling to organise these memories. I felt my vision begin to darken and began to slightly panic.

'What the hell? Why is this happening?'

[To make the transition easier, memories have been uploaded to your mind to ensure an easier integration into your new life.]

'Couldn't you have done it slowly for fucks sake.' When I didn't get an answer I internally sighed as I felt my body start to become weak. It would seem I was about to pass out. I can somewhat hear the panicked shouts from my maid as she tried to support me against her impressive chest. Fucking hell, even on the verge of passing out I was horny, this trait might turn into a really big problem. Looking at the maid faintly, I could see her shouting out orders as the other maids immediately followed them without question.

'Ah oh well. Guess I'll have to wait till morning to test out my new system,' was my last dreary thought as I felt myself slacken in her grasp and slowly closed my eyes. Slipping off into the inky blackness of unconsciousness.

—END—

This will be a harem fic and he will be a dark character. If you don't like it I suggest you drop the fic now since he won't be playing hero. He will be gaining power pretty fast but won't instantly be ultra overpowered. But he will become pretty op fast.

Lmk your thoughts in the reviews, catch you in the next chap.

Alright so, I had a few people saying this is similar to a certain other gamer fic in the fandom, that was not the intention. So I looked up my man, Malcolm Tents fics and got sucked into them and totally forgot about writing this lol, there were similarities I'll admit, but that wasn't really what I was going for, but in light of that particular revelation, I'm gonna go with my backup plan for this and just change the race entirely, it's similar enough, and the change happened when the story was still in its infancy, so it's not too much of a problem, just took a bit of reworking and the grammar and wording is a lot better this time around in my opinion. And I know, I know I already have a Demi-God fic, but I've always wanted to explore a Demi-God of a different pantheon and thought this was a fun universe to do it. Enjoy!
