Chapter three: This game is awesome!
It was with a satisfied smirk on my face that stepped into a secluded alley after I had dropped Mina and Miko at their houses. Both girls had been very grateful and I got a kiss on each cheek and they made me promise we would hang out more often from now on. It was obvious they both were attracted to me and if I noticed it then they sure as hell noticed each other's attraction towards me and had not done a fuss about it. Which spelled good news… for now.
Anyways, it was time for me to grind and with smirk still in place I used ID: Create and ID: Escape two times each to level them up. I had already used them two times and each time I used them they went up by twenty five percent, meaning that I only needed to use them two more times to level them up and get the Zombie ID, the lowest ID that could be created.
ID: Create has gone up by 1!
ID: Escape has gone up by 1!
That done I looked up at the time and saw that it was already five in the afternoon. While I 'wasted' some hours with Mina and Miko in my eyes it had been worth it because I now had two girls that I was sure I was going to hook up with and another one that I was more than sure I was going to end up having sex with in two days' time. And if that was how I was going to waste time then I was going to make sure to do it more often.
Moving to more serious thoughts I thought about the Zombie ID. As I was now I knew that I could fight both the normal zombies and Legion Zombies and win, which if I managed to pull off was going to give me a lot of levels right of the get go. But I needed to be smart about it, which was a given seeing that my INT was high and my WIS was above the average for a human my age.
I didn't really need to worry about the normal zombies since they were very slow and thanks to my DP of Iron Skin they were no threat to me. The Legion Zombie, however, I needed to tread more carefully with it because while slower due to its size it was incredibly strong for a basically First Level boss. I decided that my best bet was to fight the normal zombies in closes quarters and mix close quarters combat and long range combat with the Legion Zombie.
I knew that I was stalling for time and I shook my head slightly. It was not time for me to have doubts. I needed to do this. I knew that logically I was more than ready to face the Zombie ID but I was also aware of the fact that plans rarely survive contact with the enemy and that particular fact was bothering the hell out of me.
Gamer's Mind proved to be the necessary bitch it was when I suddenly felt eerie calm and I raised my hand to the sky. "Let's get this over with. ID Create: Zombies," I muttered in annoyance not delusional enough to think that I was way over this task but more annoyed at Gamer's Mind. It practically made the decision for me.
Bloodlust detected!
I watched the world bleed into darker colors as the sky turned dark red and the sounds of the city that normally faded into the background disappeared as everything went eerily silent. Not a second later I began to hear the low groans and savage snarls of undead looking to feast on the living and I sighed again as Gamer's Mind shattered the primal fear those sounds evoked on me and I went into auto-pilot.
The first thing I did was to use Reinforcement and since that was activated along with Observe I still had twenty MP I could use without losing it at a steady rate. I then created a Daedric Sword on my right arm which left me with enough MP to use Flash Step without worrying. My left hand was free to use Mana Blast in case any zombie got uncomfortably close. Since it cost sixteen MP I was comfortable with using it at a moment's notice.
Not wanting to waste any more time I walked out of the alley way and not a second later a zombie began to walk awkwardly towards me and I grimaced in disgust at its appearance. Its skin was a greenish gray, chunks of meat were missing on some places and one of its eyes was out of its socket. It was glaring at me with baleful red yes surrounded by sickly yellow sclera and its rotten teeth were shown when it snarled at me.
Gamer's Mind overtook the fear and its appearance went to the back burner as I paid more attention to what Observe told me about the zombie.
Zombie. Lvl 8.
A walking corpse. No matter how it died. It hates the living, attacking and eating its flesh. It is very slow but it compensates with superhuman strength, durability and stamina. Individually they aren't a threat but beware of hordes.
HP: 800/800
MP: 50/50
I nodded to myself at the information and quickly stepped towards it. It lunged at me with a snarl of hunger and I easily side stepped it thanks to my reinforced DEX and did a generic diagonally downward slash at its side, making meat and blood fly. It recoiled and shouted in pain as it twitched away from me but I paid it no attention but focused more on its HP and how much damaged I had caused to it with a normal slash attack.
HP: 314/800
I blinked in shock at taking almost sixty percent of its HP with just one generic attack and my mind quickly went through the calculations and after a few seconds a grin so wide that it almost split my face in half appeared. It seems like at least with bladed weapons the total damage output depended on the base damage of the weapon and much STR and DEX I had. The most like calculation that went there was the base damage of the weapon I was using plus the total amount of STR and the result of that multiplied by the total amount of DEX.
I can definitely work with that.
I flash stepped towards it and rammed my weapon into its face ignoring the critical hit massage that appeared right after I did so. I backed away and pulled my blade out of its head and I watched it twitch erratically as the zombie's HP steadily went down until it reached zero and when that happened it stopped moving and fell forward, hitting the concrete of the street face first. A second later it disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke that smelled disgustingly like piss and shit. Ugh.
I noticed that it awarded me with almost twenty percent of XP it left some loot and I was about to move towards it to see what I have gotten when I heard more groans and snarls and I turned towards further forward on the street and I saw at least twenty zombies moving slowly but purposely towards me. They would be on me in less than a minute and I didn't want to be caught off guard and had the zombies not been such blatant and slow opponents that would've happened due to my interest in the loot.
It only took me a few seconds to recall a feature that would help me solve that problem and I smirked at the incoming zombies. "Enable Auto-Loot," I said and I watched as the loot from the first zombie I killed disappeared and on the lower left corner of my HUD an icon in the form of a back with a red six pointed start appeared wiggling occasionally. I would be best to leave that option enabled always so nobody asked why corpses would leave item after they were killed. The fact that they would disappear out of nowhere would be suspicious enough.
My full attention on the incoming mob of zombies I grinned and brandished my sword. With an application of flash step I appeared before them taking them off guard with my speed and a swing of my weapon later the second zombie of the session was killed with an obviously critical hit. My foot lashed out in a roundhouse kick once I settled on the ground and I sent a third zombie off the ground into two of its brethren while my free hand unleashed a Mana Blast that sent three others away scrambling ridiculously.
I saw that the zombies I had not killed had received significant damage but not as much as a normal strike of my blade. I knew that I could kill them all in minutes if I used my long range skills but I had a grinding plan in which I would use purely short-mid range combat against these one and deal with the boss at long range. That way I'll be able to grind both set of skills safely and at the same pace more or less.
Grin turning positively savage I stared at the suddenly not-so-sure-of-getting-a-easy-meal group of zombies.
"Let's dance."
-DxD: Gamer-

As the last zombie of the horde disappeared in a small explosion of disgusting smoke I grinned as notification after notification appeared on my HUD. Killing off a hundred zombies had been laughingly easy when I was both faster, stronger and more intelligent than them. It was just a matter of staying in the move and killing them fast enough that they didn't have time to react and that strategy had worked perfectly.
The first thing I noticed was the significant boost in strength after I gained those levels and subsequently the passive boost to my HP and MP and everything related to them gave me. After that there was another boost of power due to the increase of my VIT, STR and DEX. With just that I was already stronger than what I had been when I first entered the ID. I absently equipped my new title which made me take notice of the thirty five points I know had which I was going to be using shortly.
The next was how the skill I had been using constantly through the fight (read slaughter) leveled up exponentially a lot compared to the grind of the day before. Observe went up to level thirteen and its cost dropped so much that I could maintain it running without fear of wasting mana that I could use on another technique. Now Observe will tell me the person's stats along with their feelings and possibly even a backstory. Detect bloodlust also went up a lot thanks to the desire of the zombies of inflicting harm on me and its range increased a lot.
Reinforcement also got a lot of levels thanks to me using it constantly while I fought and it now sat at level fifteen with its bonus increasing along with the amount of MP it cost decreasing. Mana Blast also went over level ten and the entirety of the skill improved nicely. Since weapon creation was an active skill with passive characteristics it didn't improve but I gained invaluable experience on using a sword a long with putting Sword Mastery at level fifteen.
I let some zombies bit me to level up Physical Endurance and it now sat comfortably at level ten because I let zombies bit me in really sensitive spots which I won't go into details into explaining them because of reasons. Thanks to my Iron Skin the bits felt as if the part they were biting was under the effects of pain numbing narcotics which meant that while I felt them bite into my flesh it didn't hurt.
Because I kept using kicks when fight them zombies Hand-to-Hand Combat went up to level fifteen and it was now giving my STR and DEX a nice bonus of twenty five percent of the base stats with stacked up to the power boost that I was already given by the natural rise of those stats through physical and nonstop combat.
That was the extent of my improvement by just fighting a hundred zombies but I still wasn't satisfied. I could become stronger right now and that was exactly what I did. As I heard the desperate and horrified groans of zombies beginning to congregate a few hundred feet in front of me on the middle of the street I brought up the stats window and promptly dumped enough points in WIS to get it to fifty.

The grin on my face was as wide as it was painful and I couldn't help the maniacal laugh the escaped my lips as I saw and felt the effects of rising my WIS to fifty in one go. My MP RR was at a staggering three hundred and twenty point seven meaning that I was already at the point at which I could span most of my skills without worrying about going out of mana. I could say without a silver of doubt that I was extremely OP. And it felt good.
I also felt knowledge suddenly appearing inside my head about the five basic elements. I now knew how to turn my mana into the elements of wind, fire and lightning and how to channel my mana into water and earth to weaponize them in my favor. I felt like I had known how to do this all my life and I was just remembering the steps I needed to take in order to turn the latent power inside of me into harnessing the forces of nature.
At the same I also became aware of the fact that living beings always let leak slivers of mana into the environment and that I could use those slivers to track them down by using my own mana in a similar fashion as a sonar but more permanent and not in intervals. It was like creating a dome of mana around the limit of my range so everything related with mana was under the 'eye' of my power.
My maniacal laugh dwindling into the occasional chuckle I waved away all the notifications and focused on the absolutely massive horde of groaning zombie that was slowly starting to unify into one being. The process was as fascinating as it was bizarre and disgusting as the hundreds of zombies conglomerated and fused into a gigantic androgynous giant with now distinguishing features other than its sickly gray skin and blank eyes that shone with unholy fury.
Legion Zombie. Lvl 34.
An assembly of zombies full of resentment. When a large amount of zombies feel threatened due to mass hunting, they merge into a Legion Zombie. It has no magical abilities but it has immense strength, stamina and doesn't feel pain. It is very slow but should it find itself in a pinch it will lash out against its enemies with unpredictable moves.
HP: 15200/15200
MP: 1200/1200
STR: 233
VIT: 221
DEX: 5
INT: 0
WIS: 0
LUCK: 0
My eyes widened at how much STR and VIT the thing had but seeing that its DEX was ridiculously low and that its other stats literally none existent all my worries disappeared as I decided to kill this thing which was going to be laughably easy thanks to my skills. I dismissed my Daedric Sword since I was not going to be using it and that motion was enough to garner the attention of the apparent Boss of this level.
It roared in fury and it began to walk towards me. It would be on me in seconds despite the distance and its slowness and that was thanks to its sheer size. I estimated that the thing was at least twenty meters tall, dwarfing every building of the neighborhood we currently where at. Its giant strides covered enough ground to almost cover its painful lack of speed. Almost.
"This is going to be so fun," I muttered to myself eagerly as I made sure that both Reinforcement and Observe were activated and then I activated Mana Perception and Stealth. I decided that for now those skills will stay always on so I will never be caught off guard ever and the increased bonus of 300% of getting a critical hit was too good to pass up. Suddenly I was aware of everything immediately around me and would take something that didn't have mana and was completely silent to bypass my perception.
I then activated Mana Shield just because it never hurt to be overcautious and that was another skill I could grind constantly because the shield was essentially invisible. I already proved that when I brought it up around a bunch of people and nobody noticed. It seemed like I was the only one that could see the transparent blue spherical construct around me and that was only because I was then one creating it. And then I put two more layers of it, thickening the blue hue of the spherical construct, to grind it thrice as fast and to give me the same increase of protection just because.
And I still had one hundred and forty five MP to burn before my total amount of mana began to drop.
By the time I was done preparing the Legion Zombie was upon me and the earth shook as it finally made reached me. I looked up at it and I raised an eyebrow and it rose a leg to attempt a stomp but when it began to bring its clumsy leg down I simply flash stepped backwards to put distance between us. The foot stroke the asphalt of the street with a tremor and upraised burnt alloys and dirt and dust.
I braced myself easily and seeing that it was confusing at not squashing anything I began to prepare my retaliation attack. Four Spinning Mana Arrows swirled into existence on top of me and I smirked as I began to apply my elemental knowledge of fire to ignite the neutral mana and turn it into burning energy. There was a crack and a hiss signifying a chemical reaction and my arrows became burning constructs of churning, shifting and constantly spinning bright red, orange and yellow fire that lightened everything around me and myself. A notification appeared in front of me as I finished putting power into my new technique.
Through special action you have attempted and succeeded in improving upon an existing skill! The skill 'Fire Twister' has been created.
Fire Twister. Active. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. A long distance elemental attack made of fire that creates literal twisters made of burning hot flames that are controlled by the caster's will. This skills causes 400% of burning and exploding damage in contact with the target. Cost: 22 MP. Max number of twister: 4.
The light of the fire illuminated my grin as with a wave of my hand the four constructs for a lack of a better term began to burn towards the still confused Legion Zombie, tongues of fire and still burning oxygen on their wake as they approached their target at even greater speeds then the technique they were based on. When the attack reached my enemy there was a loud grunt of surprise –it didn't feel pain as four explosions of fire and smoke obscure my vision of the Legion Zombie.
Critical hit! Critical hit!
I nodded at the notifications and waved them away. Two of the four twisters of fire had hit the Legion Zombie on its head and neck and the other two had hit on the chest and abdomen and now the smoke was hiding the visible damage. I could, however, still see it's dropping HP and it was with glee that I observed the steadily dropping numbers until they settled after the total amount of damage I caused was accounted.
HP: 13714/15200
That was an impressive amount of damage taking into notice that it was the first time I used the skill and it was at its lowest. With time I was sure that it would grow so strong that only one of them will be more than enough to one shot a Legion Zombie easily. But for now I was going to use this opportunity to more or less experiment and create more elemental skills. I technically had all the time in the world to make this course of action not stupid after all.
With the black smoke and tongues of fire still covering the still form of the Legion Zombie I began to focus mana into my right hand. More and more power was drawn from my core and into the end of my upper limb and I began to easily manipulate its form into that of a spear. I pushed mana until I began to feel a slight strain but not enough that my pool of power began to deplete.
Looking at the spear in my hand I was vaguely reminded of Ulquiorra Cifer's Lanza del Relampago by its general structure and I smirked as that gave me the final inspiration for my next technique. Using the new knowledge of the elements I was bestowed I forced the molecules of my mana to generate kinetic energy, forcing them to collide against each other until with a bright flash of light and the cry of a thousand birds I was holding a literal thunderbolt easily on my hand.
A new skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Thunder Spear' has been created.
Thunder Spear. Active. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. The power of lightning has been granted to you and now you can harness that chaotic power to do your binding. The spear of lightning created by your power can both be used as a close range weapon and can be thrown at your enemies. This skill causes 1500% of piercing damage. 500% electrical damage. Causes momentary paralysis. Cost: 100 MP. Maintenance cost: 150 MP per minute.
Gamer's Mind was the reason I didn't start salivating at the absolute masterpiece I have created. This was the second skill I created that was many times better than Rasengan… which I was going to improve with elemental power of course but that will come later because I doubted I had enough power to safely use a technique on the caliber of Rasen-motherfucking-shuriken yet. That was going to have to wait for some time.
I heard a roar full of pain and hatred and I turned my attention towards the Legion Zombie as the spear of lighting I held in my hand let loose stray small arcs of lightning, a thousand birds crying for blood as it brilliantly and arrogantly displayed the power I could wield now. There was a smirk on my face as I spotted the burned flesh on the places I had hit it with Fire Twister and the disgusting smell reached my nostrils even through my shield. That was something I needed to keep in mind for possible encounters with enemies that used gas like poisons.
The Legion zombie roared again and began to move even faster towards me but it was still painfully slow due to its size. Not wanting to waste mana I reared the arm holding the Thunder Spear back and after carefully aiming I chucked it at it. The thousands of birds went up in a crescendo as the spear screamed through the air at incredible speeds and the attack reached the Legion Zombie striking it in the upper part of the chest and its throat.
Critical Hit!
It was a testament to its durability that instead of going right through it merely imbedded halfway in between where the neck met the chest. The Legion Zombie tried to scream but no sound came forth, only the chirping of the thousand birds as the spear dissipated, leaving thousands of thousands of volts of electricity running through the entire body of the first boss level monster I ever faced in this world, causing a massive amount of damage.
HP: 9514/15200
As I was now the Thunder Spear would cause roughly three thousand points worth of damage but I realized that I also had to take into account that electrical damage wasn't just immediate but it kept doing damage as long as the excess electricity was kept in the body. Meaning that continuous damage would be done until the body got rid of the excess electricity which was the reason why I did more than four thousand points of damage.
Electricity clacked between my fingers as I looked at the twitching Legion Zombie with a smirk on my face. "I fucking love this game." The perfectly circular hole with the blackened and cauterized insides and the branching lightning like marks that could be seen on the aftermath of my attack were something to behold. It was… beautiful. In a morbid kid of way of course but still beautiful.
And I still wasn't done yet. Focusing on my mana, I extended it outwards without altering my shields and focused it on the air itself around me. I began to gather air and shaping the particles that made it up into two twin blades of air particles that began grind against the other, creating a high pitched humming sound that reminded me of the Rasenshuriken but not as high pitched and intense. In less than ten seconds there was a visible distortion on the air itself in the shape of a crescent moon.
A new skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Flying Swallow' has been created.
Flying Swallow. Active. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. The wind is everywhere and you have learned to direct the freedom loving spirit of the air to do your biding. A extremely sharp blade made of raging winds that can cut through almost everything. This skill causes 1200% of cutting damage. Causes 'Bleeding' status effect. If a body part is severed damage ads up accordingly. Cost: 130 MP.
I waited for the still paralyzed zombie titan to look at me shakily before I grinned at and flicked my hand on its direction. The blade of wind made a straight line towards it intended target and in less than two seconds and in a spray of black, gelatinous, thick blood the massive right arm of the Legion Zombie was separated from its body at the shoulder neatly. The severed arm fell beside it on the destroyed street, the disgusting blood of the creature pooling beneath it as it twitched erratically.
The Legion Zombie for its part tried to scream in pain I have already destroyed its windpipe so there was no wind to pass through its vocal cords to create sound so it resembled a person dry heaving as its remaining arm went to grab the stump that remained where its other arm had been. While this skills was seemingly less powerful than Thunder Spear could see that behind the zombie boss there was a building with a deep carving into it and I wasn't sure if it went beyond that.
HP: 6474/15200
Legion Zombie is bleeding!
If I did the math correctly then I have caused exactly twenty percent damage to its total HP pool, meaning that the damage of a limb was directly proportional to the overall percent of the body part in relation to the body that was removed, not the damage of the skill used to do the skill, which I was sure would've done way less than what it did by severing the limb. What was so good about this skill, however, was the bleeding status and I could see the Legion Zombie's health dropping steadily by the seconds as droplets of whatever ran through its circulatory system fell to the pool done by the severed arm.
Looking at the now massive pool of thick, jelly like liquid that was the blood of the Legion Zombie made me recall that almost everything liquid inside of a 'living' being was made out of water which was one of the elements I could now command. So I focused my mana, ignoring the frantic Legion Zombie trying to move its not existent arm, and had it latch in the still growing pool of blood and grinned when I fell a connection.
Merging my mana with the water in the blood on the street I began to direct it into a specific form and I watched the pool of blood stop growing as crystal clear water began to rise from the center of the pool near the arm on the floor. The black substance began to dry as the water rose and rose until it was a shifting mass of clear liquid that churned this way and that, with only my will powered by my mana keeping it from like that.
I rose my hand, which was turned into a fist, and the waters calmed down as I began to focus more on it and I shaped it into a ball that began to rise up and slightly away from Legion Zombie that was now looking at the ball of water in confused pain. It only had time to open its mouth and try to reach towards the sphere of water before I opened my hand grinning like the maniac I was sure I was.
Five thick tentacles rose from different parts of the sphere and lashed towards the alarmed Legion Zombie, the tips morphing into wicked pointed ends just before they reached their target. Three tentacles pierced the upper body and two of them pierced its knees with a wet, meaty, disgusting sound. As the eyes of the Legion Zombie widened in pain I twisted my wrist, slowly making a fist again and the tentacles coiled around the monster, binding it in place.
A new skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Water Convergence' has been created.
Water Convergence. Active. Lvl 1. [0.0%]. Water is fluid and you have learned that one can only direct it, never truly control it. It flows and it follows the directions given but water never obeys. Gathered into a compressed sphere the water within it will follow instructions as long as mana is supplied. Cost: 60 MP. Maintenance: 100 MP.
Looking at the steadily dropping HP bar of the enemy boss I realized that this technique will be very useful indeed. I could mold the water gathered in the spear into virtually anything as long as I kept supplying it mana and I had fairly enough to make it a very dangerous skill. Also depending how I used it I could deal constant damage just like in this instance but I will need to level it up first. With the new power at my disposal it was not going to be too difficult.
I began to slowly walk towards the Legion Zombie, bringing my hand down harshly and with that motion the tentacles of water sent the undead titan to the ground with barely some effort, its injuries taking their toll on it. I noted that it's HP was already below three thousand and still dropping steadily. The beast was groaning in apparent pain and while I didn't give a shit to what happened to it, I did give a shit to the rewards it will give me after killing it.
So with that thought I dismissed the Water Convergence technique, further soaking the undead titan, and focused on the last element, the one I haven't used until now. I focused on the soil beneath the Legion Zombie and when I channeled what I felt was enough Mana I stomped the ground after pausing for a second before raising my hand harshly upwards, my hand pulled into a spear form.
It was at that moment the Legion Zombie raised its head to look at me shakily and its remaining arm twitched but it was too late to do anything. It was already but it just didn't know it and it wanted to try and defy fate on its last moments. Sadly for the Boss Mob, it was not to be, as a spike rose from the ground at fast speeds and speared the undead titan through the had from lower jaw to the top of its head.
A new skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Earth Spike' has been created.
Earth Spike. Active. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. Earth is strong and unyielding but you have managed to tame it in order to call forth its strength to aid you in battle. This skill allows you to create spikes made of the soil you are standing on. Cost: 25 MP per Spike.
Critical Hit!
0/15200
Your level goes up by one! Your level goes up by one! Your level goes up by one! Your level goes up by one! Your level goes up by one!
I sighed in pleasure at the growth of power and dismissed all my techniques as the Legion Zombie began to dissipate and I scrunched up my nose at the absolutely horrid smell. I called upon my affinity with the wind and focused on pushing the odor and the smoke created by the decomposing boss away. A few seconds later I dismissed the window telling me I had created the skill 'Breeze' and opened my Inventory to see what I had gained.
I got a lot of money. Plain and simple. Before I had gone into the ID I had three hundred dollars. Now? I had a swooping fifty thousand dollars that I could use in whatever I wanted but I was sure I will just leave there until I needed for something really needed. I had gotten one soul gem for each zombie I killed, meaning that I now had one hundred of those which I while leave there in case I needed them to enhance a skill or needed them to craft something really powerful.
There were other unimportant stuff that the normal zombies had dropped like teeth, ribs and meat that I was sure I was never going to need so I took those out and destroyed them. From the Legion Zombie I got health potions, mana potions, a skill book and a piece of equipment. The skill book I immediately used after seeing the skill 'Life Drain' which I always wondered why Jee-Han never bothered to use. The piece of equipment however…
Coat of Deathly Midnight. Rank: Ethereal
While seemingly looking like an ordinary leather black cloak that looks plain awesome, this article is nothing but. Created with the essence of those that died it gives the wearer an understanding of the undead, allowing the wearer to control the undead to a certain extent. The cloak also gives the wearer the ability to control the shadow element and improves stealth. Durability: Eternal.
Allows the user to control the Undead.
+50 to Stealth skill.
+10 Shadow Affinity.
I admit without shame that I almost got a hard on when I saw the cloak and read about its properties. I say almost because at this point in my life I only got a hard on from extremely beautiful and hot girls so I reigned myself in. The cloak eerily resembled that of Kirito's from SAO only that this one seemed almost alive with the way it was shifting but I realized that since it was ethereal and made from energies then the rippling and shifting made sense.
With some difficulty I put it back into my inventory since it was not going to use it right now. Tomorrow certainly when I came back to gain more levels which was going to be insanely easier to do with the Cloak now at my disposal. That done I checked over my skills and seeing that almost nothing had changed except for the additions of the new skill and the ones I had activated while fighting the Legion Zombie leveling up a few times I closed the window and went to open my status page.
Error! Error! Error!
Display Glitch Detected!
Scanning…
…Problem Isolated…
… Solving…
… Problem Fixed! HP and MP will now be displayed accordingly in relation to level advancement and modifiers increase.
My eyes widened at and I couldn't hurry more to see what had changed but as the window opened and my eyes went to the HP and MP bars I relaxed as a monstrous grin appeared on my face. I don't know why I was so worried about for that moment.
I hadn't felt a decrease or increase in power.
But now the massive increase in power made so much sense.
-DxD: Gamer-
I was almost skipping as I made my way home. Such was my happiness because of the twelve levels I had gotten and with them the new stats, abilities and overall power. While I was still aware of that fact that I was painfully weak in comparison with even the weakest devil, fallen angel and youkai I was still growing by leaps and bounds and with my newfound power I was just going to grow stronger faster since there were more things I could do at the same time.
Eventually I arrived to the house and Hana was already waiting for me with the food she bought already displayed on the table. I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, making sure to feel her up without being obvious about it but it looked like she didn't mind the prolonged hug if the way she smiled beautifully at me was anything to go by. I was sure that without Gamer's Mind I would've felt terrible for manipulating her like this but I wanted to fuck her and I will make sure to everything I could to achieve that goal. And besides, it wasn't like I was going to discard her as soon as I did. This world was perverted by nature. I was going to keep her and do whatever I wanted with her.
"How was your day at the gym?" I asked her and with and she smiled at me.
"Pretty good, honey. Everyone there is very kind and helpful and the trainers seem to know their stuff because…"
She went on to explain me everything she did and I listened on, nodding and actually paying attention to her so I could make questions of what she was talking about to show her that I was interested in what she did. I wanted her to stop seeing me like her son and for her to start seeing me as the man I was. That was all part of my plot to bang her and I was not going to be pulling any punches with her.
She finished her tale at the same time the food was eaten and when she stood up to start washing the dishes I shook my head. "None of that, kaa-chan. I'm sure you are tired and sore from your first day at the gym and there is now way I will make you do the dishes knowing that. With that said, you are going to take a relaxing, hot bath and then go to sleep while I take care of everything else here, alright?" It was worded like a suggestion but it was none of that as I was basically telling her what to do.
She looked at me with amusement before she shrugged her shoulders, doing wonderful things to her massive chest with that motion, before smiling at me in a very beautiful manner. She approached me and wrapped her arms around my head and pressed my head into the chest I had been discreetly looking at as she cooed. "Thanks, honey. You are so considerate. If you keep this up I seriously will need to reward you in some fashion," she said as she rubbed my hair affectionately.
I enjoyed her soft body against me before whispering into her chest loud enough for her to hear. "That's not necessary, kaa-chan. With everything you have done for me it'll be me who will be looking for ways to repay you through my whole life and I doubt I ever will."
I smirked when she shuddered in what I assumed was pleasure at the feeling of my voice and breathe on her chest before she suppressed her reaction and leaned back away from me with a smile on her face. She gave me a kiss on the forehead before she shook her head. "Don't say that, Ise. You are my precious son and there is nothing I wouldn't do for you," she said lovingly.
I returned her smile and did my best to return her tone of voice. "The same goes for me, kaa-chan."
She seemed very pleased with response before she hugged me and kissed me again but this time on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow Ise-kun. I'll hit the bed as soon as I am out of the shower so good night," she said before she walked away and I smirked openly as I watched her go, delighting my eyes with her wonderful ass covered in short gym. My methods of getting her to think differently of me were working splendidly.
Because she didn't even noticed it when she put that extra sway on her hips as she walked away from me. But I sure did and I give her two weeks tops before she cracks. Ah the joys of being a pervert with loose morals and a broken ability. Anyways, I stood up and picked up the plates and utensils that had been used during dinner and set them on the sink before I proceed to wash them.
Today I'll find out if I needed to sleep or not.
-DxD: Gamer-
Turns out I didn't need to sleep at all. Gamer's Mind and Gamer's Body dealt with any fatigue and exhaustion I could've felt due to lack of sleep and that meant that I didn't have to waste time doing something as silly as sleeping when I didn't need it. With more than ten hours before the time I needed to go to school I dedicated myself to physical training, wanting to do the most exhausting actions I could do to test my theory.
I created heavy weights using my Earth Affinity and the rich soil of my backyard and did all the exercises I could think off while also maintaining active the skills Meditation, Observe, Iron Skin, six layers of Mana Shield and Mana Perception. To get the most of the time I spent grinding I also created two Daedric swords for Sword Mastery and used Hand-to-Hand Combat to level those skills up at the same time I trained my body in the process.
And the results spoke for themselves. When I was finished with my training my base physical stats were almost on the forties and the passive bonuses I had only served to take them higher than what they were supposed to be. Meditation went up by five levels and as expected the bonuses of the skill went up. Observe was reaching level twenty due to being activated for so long and I was actually doing it subconsciously at this point so there was that. Iron Skin was kept activated for eleven hours strait meaning that it was activated for six hundred and sixty minutes which equaled to thirty nine thousand six hundred seconds which meant…
DP: 84600/84600
Yep. Iron Skin was a most OP skill and I decided right there and there that it was going to be kept on at all times because in this world with ridiculous strong beings there was no such thing as exaggeration and overkill. Mana Shield was already at level thirty three due to all the layers I put on it as the cost began to go down for each level until it didn't go down anymore went the cost of activating the skill was five MP and keeping it up was ten MP. Right now there were twenty layers of Mana Shield around me and that was not going to change anytime soon since the shield was invisible to everyone but me.
Mana Perception reached level twenty and that was another skill that was going to be up at all times. My range was one hundred and fifteen meters and I could feel everything that had mana that was at that distance. With my detect bloodlust skill there was nothing alive that wished me harm that could sneak up on me and I was very satisfied with that fact. Sword Mastery and Hand-to-Hand Combat went up by ten levels and I think their growth was so fast due to the fact I had been using weights.
The growth in powers was very much appreciated and I didn't feel guilty about the fact that I was using the properties of Gamer's Body to quickly become physically stronger. My muscles healed instantly and if I forced them to heal continuously using that skill then to get stronger I just had to keep making my weights heavier as my stats increased. I was sure I just needed another training session like this one to reach fifty in the physical stats and gain nine more skills that will only make me stronger.
And now that I thought about it I also activated Reinforcement and Meditation, the last one to level it up for the bonuses and for the accelerated HP and MP increase I could use for training. With Reinforcement on STR and DEX were over a hundred making me exponentially faster and stronger than the normal human and thanks to Gamer's Mind and Gamer's body I was aware of it and could control it perfectly so there was no danger of a 'not knowing my own strength' moment. I sighed, pleased with myself, and felt ready for everything that could come my way. That didn't mean I was a strong as I could be, far from it, but at the moment I felt satisfied with what I accomplished in a few days. As I was now I felt I was ready to deal with everything until Riser and I will only get stronger with time.
That morning I prepared breakfast for me and Hana and I gained even more closeness with her and I thoroughly enjoyed her lingering hugs and kisses in the forehead and cheek. She didn't realize it yet but she was already changing her views on me and it was just a matter of time before she was begging o choke on my, Issei's or whatever, cock. After that I left her to do her business deals so get us more money than what we were already receiving thanks to her savvy mind and intellect.
School was boring as usual except for the eye candy in the form of all the girls and female teachers but I also took my time to Observe Rias, Sona and their peerages and I was surprised that I couldn't see Rias nor Sona's level yet but I could see most of their peerages levels, Kiba Yuto being the highest I could see at level sixty seven. I was beginning to suspect that if the recipient of Observe was fifty levels above me then I couldn't see nothing but very basic information on them but I needed more proves to be sure of this.
The highlights of the days were when Mina and Miko greeted me with kisses on the cheek after they told the whole class how I helped them with the thugs and I felt my reputation with everyone soar through the roof and I was now being looked at in a new light. Matsuda and Motohama were of course jealous and proud at the same time but I couldn't care less. I was basking in the fact that I changed their views on the body I was inhabiting in a mere three days. I was in a too good of a mood.
Another highlight came when school ended and Aika approached me with a gleam on her eyes and her body language telling me she wanted me to have my way with her. And I was going to oblige of course so I smirked at her when she finally approached me. "So… did I impress you enough to get a date with you?" I asked her.
She nodded her pretty head as she smirked sensually at me. "That goes without saying. What you need for Murayama and Katase…" she trailed off as her face got red and she began to squirm in place. "I can't hold back any longer. So we are going to have a nice date tonight and if you impress me and give me a good time I will give you something that you clearly want," she said huskily as she wrapped her arms around mine and pressed her generous chest into my arm.
I grinned down at her. "You've got yourself a deal, my dear." I said as I began to lead her away from the school. "Bear in mind however that you brought this upon yourself and I will not be held responsible when you inevitably become addicted to me." I said with confidence and smiling suggestively down at her. Aika responded with a challenging, excited and lustful grin and I knew that today I was going to get laid with a very hot girl that was probably into very kinky stuff.
Contrary to what ninety nine percent of the world populations believes, girls don't like guys with money because they are materialistic, quite the contrary actually since they were the sex that focused mostly on feelings and the way you held yourself. Girls like guys with money because it showed they could indulge them in whatever they wanted, be it food or clothes. Once you figure them out girls are not so hard to predict and decipher. It was still difficult but with experience you can overcome the difficulty. And I was smart, I was observant and I had enough experience in dealing with girls so 'impressing' Aika was fairly easy.
I didn't own a car nor did I have a license in this world (Which I was going to correct as soon as I had the time) so we took the bus to Central Kuoh and walked through the very urbanized city visiting shops and anything we fancied. Since I had a lot of money I could easily indulge Aika in whatever she wanted to eat, clothes that she thought were cute and jewelry she had been wanting for a while but didn't have the money to buy them herself. We then went and had dinner at one of the best restaurants in the city that didn't have a dress code and finally we went to see a movie that Aika wanted to see.
Through our date I held her hand and made sure to shower her with expression of affections ranging from hugs and pecks on the lips without being too overwhelming but it was enough to get the point across that I found her attractive and that she meant something to me and while that wasn't true at the moment it could and would become like that. But a little manipulation never hurt anyone and she genuinely enjoyed herself. Heck, during the movie she instigated a few of the make out sessions we had. So I was fairly confident that I did a good job 'impressing' her. Why, you ask?
Well…
"Harder! Fuck me harder you magnificent bastard!"
We were now at the park, in the middle of the night and I was pounding into her from behind as she supported herself on a tree behind some bushes. I had wanted to take her home and do something at least slightly romantic but she had gotten impatient and demanded I take her right there, right now. And I wasn't anyone to deny a girl what she wanted so we have been doing the nasty for several minutes right now.
I was grinning like a loon as I fucked her tight pussy, which didn't have had a hymen but I wasn't surprised given her nature as a pervert, but I paid no attention to that as let myself lose in the moment. I looked down at her and grabbed a handful of her rippling ass as the wet sounds of our fornication echoed through the forest. It was music to my ears and I was sure it was music to hers as she moaned and screeched in pleasure.
"HARDER!" She shouted as she began to throw herself back into my thrusts and I thanked my VIT score and Gamer's Mind that allowed me to keep going for as long as I wanted without feeling overwhelmed by the pleasure. I obliged her request and with a smack to her shapely rear, rendering her slightly tanned skin red I grabbed her by her hips and put more force into my movements.
She screamed and shuddered as she clamped around me but I kept going to prolong her orgasm for as long as I could as I held her easily while she experienced the highest peak of ecstasy. This was the third time I made her cum since we began and that was all thanks to my knowledge on anatomy, previous experience in my old life and the big package that Issei's body had been blessed with. Aika had been very pleased when she saw it.
Almost a minute later she stopped shuddering and I slowed down my thrusts so she could become coherent enough to look back at me with incredulous eyes full of lust and wonder. "How… how… " She couldn't complete her sentence and I couldn't hold back any longer with that flushed and sweat covered face looking at me. It was so erotic and sexy that it was almost painful not to continue fucking her so I went back to it.
"What are you- YES!"
I had pulled out of her, turned her around and put her flush between the three and my body. Her legs automatically came around my waist and I shoved my dick inside of her and began to pound her pussy relentlessly, the position allowing me to hit spots inside her tunnel that had not been pleasured before in our previous position. Our lips met and I grabbed her ass cheeks as her arms a wrapped around my neck so she could deepen the kiss.
Our tongues wedged war against each other's and I steadily increased the tempo of my thrusts and it wasn't before I felt Aika reaching the edge for the fourth time and I felt it was time for me to cum for the first time with her. I ended the kiss with her and looked into her eyes smirking at her whorish grin and almost crossed eyes. "Where do you want my cum Aika-chan? Tell me where do you want it and I'll give it to you!" I declared huskily and latched onto her slender neck with my mouth still pounding into her with abandon.
She panted and moaned as she answered my question. "In… inside! Paint my insides white with your cum! Fill my cunt with your seed! Mark me as yours!" She declared as she began to move her hips in tandem with my thrusts and her moans and pants became screams of pleasure as she tightened around me after my dick twitched inside of her at her words.
I grinned at the absolute ahegao expression on her face. "If that's what you want…" I grunted and then hissed as I began to empty my balls inside of her while still moving my hips to prolong my own orgasm. Aika began to shudder and another scream left her body as her orgasm intensified due to my semen filling up her tunnel and then her womb to the brim. In other words I gave her an epic cream pie.
Quest completed!
Quest updated: The Rise of the Harem King!
You have successfully wooed the first of many women that will get to ride the roller coaster that is Issei Hyoudou. Now you only need to expand the number of girls that you call your own so you can get the tittle of Harem King! But first you need to make sure that Aika Kiriyuu is 100% willing to go with the idea so convince her by any means necessary so she can help you achieve your dreams!
Rewards: XP to be determined. An indefinite amount of girls to have kinky sex with.
I grinned at the quest and accepted it mentally before dismissing it in the same fashion. I turned towards Aika who was still recovering from what I was sure the best experience of her life and called for her attention. "Aika-chaaann…."
She raised her head slowly and while she was still panting and shuddering in the aftershocks of her powerful orgasm she was still able to give me a very slutty smile. "What is it Ise-sama?" She purred my name and she squealed as my still hard dick twitched inside of her and she looked at me with eyes so wide and full of lust that it was a wonder how she didn't cum right there and there.
"I have a proposition for you." I began as I started to fuck her slowly and she moaned in delight at the sensations it provoked on her. I had all of her attention now and I was not going to waste the opportunity. "We both know that I am still a pervert, the only difference being that I no longer ogle and peep on girls so I still want to be the King of Harem. So…" I trailed off as I began to piston in and out of her faster and she gasped and then moaned louder, her excitement at what I was obviously proposing clear.
"Do you want to help me gather a massive harem of beauties? I assure you that if we are successful our days will be filled with endless debauchery and pleasure. What do you say, Aika-chan? If you accept you'll be the first girl in my harem and you'll manage it, meaning that you'll get to sample every…" She gasped when the head of my cock poked the entrance of her cum filled womb. "… single…" She sighed as I pulled out only to scream in pleasure when I forcefully shove my dick inside again. "… one of those girls and even I don't know how many of them I will get. Ten? Thirty? Fifty? Who the fuck knows?"
She was already sporting another ahegao expression but I could feel that she was still coherent enough to hear what I had to say. "So? Do you accept?"
-DxD: Gamer-
As if there was any chance she wouldn't accept! After she accepted my proposition I took Aika to her house –she apparently lived alone with her older sister checking on her weekly and her parents paying for her apartment fees and all expenses and I quite possible fucked her for two hours straight until she just couldn't continue and feel unconscious after the thirtieth orgasm. This world's logics worked were so fucking awesome!
So after I left her covered in my semen and it also gushing out of all of her holes I made my way back to my house. It was almost eleven but I had called Hana to tell her that I will be arriving late since I was on a date with Aika and if everything went well it was a possibility I will be arriving at this hour. So she didn't bate an eyelash when I merrily entered the house using my keys. It looked like she had been watching T.V. while she waited form me.
"I take it your date went well," she commented in amusement and I had to smirk when I caught the almost imperceptible annoyance in her voice. Oh yeah. I'll be tapping that MILF soon enough and there was nothing that could be do about it.
I grinned at her. "What gave it away? The spring of my step? My whistling? Or the massive grin on my face that yelled to the world 'I am the man!'" I replied cheekily.
Her amusement was honest now as she raised an eyebrow at me. "So… did you go all the way on your first date with her?"
"A gentlemen never does and tell!"
Her eye twitched. "So you did go all the way with her. I'm sure you didn't force yourself on her because I raised you way better than that even if you are trying to stop being a pervert… which is not going very well from what I can see."
This time I deadpanned at her. "Kaa-san… that girl is a pervert worse than what I ever was. If it didn't sound so ridiculous I would tell that she was the one who forced herself on me. Have some faith, geez."
She nodded her head slowly. "Did you use protection?"
No. But Aika was clean and she told me she was on the pill. This, however, made me make a mental note on developing a skill that negated fecundation or something like that. I didn't want to stop fucking some of my future girls for a few months because of pregnancy and I wasn't ready to be a father, not now not ever. "Of course I did. You raised me and you made sure to give me the Talk. So yeah. I was responsible."
She nodded again. "What are your plans for this girl?"
I shrugged my shoulders and at her narrowed eyes I elaborated calmly. "It's up to her kaa-san. If she wants a committed relationship then I am all for it. If she wants us to be friends with benefits too. While I do care about her because she is nice, beautiful and intelligent it is not like I love her. While that may come to pass I will not rush this even if we are having sex already. We do have a connection other than the obvious physical one but we want to explore 'us' a bit more before we come to a decision."
She seemed placated and pleased with my answer. "And I have to approve."
I beamed at her and went over to kiss her on the cheek. "Of course. You are my number one girl so any other one that wants to come into my life should be approved by you first. I always keep that in mind."
She crossed her arms under her bust and nodded sharply. "Good to know you have your facts straight. Now go take a bath. While you had the decency of cleaning your teeth you reek of sex. Don't make a habit of it." She warned me but I could see that behind her annoyance there was real humor.
"You've got it!" I gave her a cheesy thumbs up and she rolled her eyes before she shooed me away. I could feel her eyes glued to my back until a disappeared up the stairs. So now she was sure I was responsible about sex, she knew I knew what I was doing and that I was willing to deal with the consequences of having sex with someone. It'll take a few more days for her to finally see me as an adult but I can wait and I already had someone to fuck whenever I wanted. So yeah. I could wait for as long it would take.
After my mandatory shower I found myself in my room laying on my bed with my eyes closed and I wasn't sleeping. I was Meditating and meditating at the same time looking deep inside of me for something that I had been postponing ever since I got here. The reason why I didn't do this before was because I wanted to be strong before encountering the likes of him and I knew that he respected strength, both of mind and body, before anything else so it was not a bad idea to prepare myself.
Not too long after I began a window appeared in front of me.
A sentient being has been found within The Gamer's body. Would you like enable communication?
"Yes."
There was a pregnant and tense silence before a deep, gravelly voice was heard deep within my head, feeling almost like I was using headphones or something similar.
You are not what I was expecting, ningen.
I grinned. "Hello Ddraig. There is so much we have to talk about."
I don't have an excuse. It's just that I got caught up with a lot of things and my mind was left scrambling. I am back now, however, and better than ever. So in this chapter we saw Issei/Sort of SI OC reaching level seventeen by being beating zombies and a titan zombie and being badass about it. He also got closer to fucking Hana Hyoudou and he actually fucked Aika Kiriyuu and managed to procure her help in Harem matters.
Just your regular day in the life of a 'Gamer' character in the world of DxD. Before anyone complains I have been planning to use the shadow element long before I read 'Dragon of Dragons: Game of the Year Edition' by Silent Songbird so I am not ripping it off him. You should go read his story if you haven't done so yet. It'll blow you away, especially chapter nine. I have to admit I was not expecting that.
Expect the next chapter soon and it will be filled with epicness and lemons. The canon storyline will start either on chapter for of five depending on the word count of the chapters. The Character Sheet, which is more detailed, will be posted in half an hour to give you gives time to read to chapter without spoilers… even if they are not always bad.
