A Gamer's Guide to Classy Villainy.
Chapter 2 (Tutorial.)
PING!
You have Awoken!
HP And MP Fully Restored!
Waking up the first thing I feel is a sharp headache pounding within my skull, my throat was dry as all fuck, after smacking my lips and swallowing a few times I start to groggily open my eyes. Glancing around, I notice I'm in a pretty decadent room. No, wait, my room? Ugh, this fucking memory download made me feel like my brain was going to melt.
I propped myself up with one arm, and rubbed my forehead to get rid of some of the discomfort. I heard a quick polite knock before the door opened to see the maid from earlier. My personal maid, Tsubasa walked in and almost teleported to my side when she saw I was awake.
Next thing I know, I'm pressed into her impressive chest as she practically tries to squeeze the life out of me, not that I was complaining. Death by titty-suffocation wasn't a bad way to go in my book.
Tsubasa backed away and started to look me over frantically, as if she were concerned I'd keel over in a minute. "Are you okay Katsu?" She asked me worriedly.
I gave her a smirk. I'm most definitely going to fuck her. "Just peachy," I said while trying to stand up. Only to fall back on the bed as she practically pins me to it.
I raise my brow in amusement. "Tsubasa, what are you doing?" I question her and she scowls.
"Do you think I'm just going to let you get up and act like you didn't just fall unconscious in front of me with BLOOD dripping from your eyes." She says while giving me a withering look.
"You're not going anywhere, mister. I've called for a doctor and you will await his arrival and let him examine you." She said with a firm voice and it was kinda hot honestly.
"Fine," I said, making her brows crease in confusion. It was obvious she was expecting some kind of argument but I was more focused on her massive tits. Not that she knew that of course. She gave me a suspicious look. Which I returned with the most innocent smile I could muster.
"I'll be back in five minutes. I must notify Lord Kaden of this event. I better not see you up, mister." She said seriously, I just gave her an unconcerned smile and said, "Yes, ma'am," making sure to add as much sarcasm as I could. I'll get up if I want to but it wasn't a requirement for what I needed to check out.

Tsubasa gives me one last look before calmly walking away and opening the door. Finally, looking back at the new quest screen that had popped up, I pressed accept and opened up the system menu with a mental command. First things first, I had to see what I was working with.
Menu:-
[Status]
[Inventory]
[Skills]
[Store] (Locked)
[Quests]
[World Jump] (Locked)
[Perks and Traits]
Checking the menu out I settled on going from top to bottom. Shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of how to use the system.
[Name: Katsu Ryoto]
[Level – 1]
[Race – Demi-God]
[HP – 2400 [240 per minute]
[MP – 2400 [240 per minute]
[MAG – 10 (60)
[STR – 10 (60)
[END – 10 (60)
[DEX – 10 (60)
[MTL – 10 (60)
[CHA – 10 (60)
[Stat points - 0]
It's basically what I saw before, moving on I went back to the menu and went to skills.
[Observe] (Active): Provides information on the target: their name, their level, and their stats.
[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)
[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)
Basically what I saw before. But I do have to wonder how I'm going to level these up. I frown. I had been too busy to ask the system earlier. I sigh, better now than never I suppose. "Hey, System, how do I upgrade my skills?"
[The more you use a skill, the higher the rank or level of the skill. To upgrade skills after reaching the level cap, you may take upgrade quests. Warning: you may only take two upgrade quests at a time, and not all skills qualify for an upgrade quest.]
Peachy, moving on. I once again go back to the system and press on the [Store] option only to get a big [Locked] screen making me frown. Just as I proceed to ask the system it beats me to the point and answers my unasked inquiry once more.
[Unfortunately, the shop is locked until you reach level 300. Before you bitch about it. This is added so you don't just start buying incredibly overpowered items from the start. We want you to experience the game before you start buying items. After you unlock the shop, credits will be given for rewards. So you may buy items in the shop.]
"I wasn't going to bitch about it," I mumbled childishly with a frown that formed into a pout as I heard the system scoff, obviously calling me out on my bullshit. Coughing, I move on and click on quests.

"Hmm, that was to be expected, truthfully," I said. Quickly scanning over the quest and looking at the reward, I started to feel the [Greed] trait make itself known. I dragged my eyes away and clicked on the [Menu.] I click on [World Jump] more out of curiosity than anything else. I knew it would be locked but I couldn't help myself. Once more the system explained.
[World Jump will be locked until you do a certain amount of quests in this world. Fortunately, there are no level requirements. Meaning technically you could be level 6 and jump worlds given you do enough in this world first.]
"I'm guessing I won't be able to choose my next world?" I asked. Despite already knowing the answer.
[No, at least for the first jump. The world jump will randomly choose a world and transport you there. After the first jump, a list will be provided. Warning: you will not be able to come back until you do enough activities in that world as well.]
Nodding in understanding I go back to the [Menu] and click on [Perks and Traits] despite already knowing what it would have. I didn't want to somehow fail the quest by not exploring all the features.
[Perks and Traits]
[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.
[Gamers Body: Grants a body that allows for the user to live real life like a game, negates any and all permanent damage.
[Prodigious Learner: [Your inherent biology allows for you to learn anything at a supernatural rate. 100% level EXP boost, and a 50% skill EXP boost.]
[Lady Lucks lovechild: [Increases loot drops] [Loot has a chance to be of higher rarity.]
[Photographic memory: [Your memory is unrivalled.] [Allows users to recall any past memory clearly in their mind without any problems.]
These perks were definitely worth the traits. Especially the [Prodigious Learner] one. Anything that makes my path to power easier is very much welcomed.
[Traits]
[Lustful: [You are lust incarnate.] [You are drawn to the opposite sex and sexual acts no matter the problems that may arise from acting on said lust.]
[Remorseless: [Cold, Calculating, Ruthless.] [You don't care what you have to do if it means you achieve your goals.]
[Greed: [You are greed-given form.] [You are drawn to anything valuable no matter if they're objects or people.]
[Quest completed!]
Level up!
Level up!
Yep. I officially love that fucking perk. Two levels for the price of one. Sign me up. I grin in satisfaction before I frown a bit in thought. What is my goal? I mean, I'm obviously going to gain power. Now that I have a way to do that quickly, and I'm guessing this system has removed my limits?
[Correct.]
Nodding at the system. I hear the door open as Tsubasa comes back. Leading a man in, he was wearing a black suit and red tie and carrying a briefcase. A stern looking man with an air of professionalism surrounding him. I took this chance to use my new skill [Observe.]
Lucious Crepes
Title: The Doctor
Level – 15
Race – Human
HP: 100/100
Yup. This guy has definitely done some shady shit in his time. Is it any wonder father dearest chose him to be the family doctor? Who by the way, is definitely some sort of supervillain. Not that it matters since I barely see him, which I intend to keep that way. It would be annoying if he got in my way.
"Katsu, this is Doctor Lucious Crepes. He is here to examine you and make sure you are well," she said gently. I looked at her with a straight face and said, "If this guy tries to touch me inappropriately. I'm going to rip his arms off." I said casually as if talking about the weather and I did mean it, Lucious is such a pedo name, like Lucious Malfoy, just gives me slimy fuck vibes and who the fuck has a second name like Crepes? Her soft smile turned into a baffled expression of absolute confusion, which was pretty amusing and cute.
The doctor's stern expression went to a completely puzzled one as if still clocking what I was saying and then he scowled. "I assure you, Mr Katsu. I have no such intentions." He said with absolute venom making me raise a brow in amusement.
"Very well, you may proceed." I waved his venomous stare off. If he pisses me off regardless of his level I'm pretty sure he can't handle his face being melted off by a fireball.
The doctor walked up to me and laid his briefcase on the table beside me with the scowl still present on his face which was honestly pretty funny. I had always enjoyed pissing people off and it seems like 'Katsu,' was the same.
Tsubasa still wore that same bewildered expression as if she was trying to comprehend my words which just served to make this even more funny, to the point where I couldn't stop the grin that spread across my face.
The doctor said no more words as he wordlessly went through all the standard check-up procedures. He got back up and went back to his case for a few minutes and turned around. Tsubasa had gotten over her bewilderment and looked at him questionably.
"Is he okay, Doctor Lucious?" She asked hopefully.
"I have done all the standard medical check-up procedures and I have concluded that Mr Katsu is perfectly healthy. I dare say he is almost too healthy." He said with narrowed eyes and a scowl. Making me look at him with a bored look that made his scowl deepen as he quickly packed his things and let Tsubasa lead him out.
Deciding to test something before Tsubasa returned. I raised my hand in front of my face and called out for my skill, watching in awe as golden flames formed above my palm and danced around waiting to be unleashed, wanting to destroy and devour.
It was beautiful. I could feel the comfortable heat of the fire on my palm, hearing the door click open I quickly extinguished the flame and put my hand under the blankets in a fast and fluid motion.
Watching apathetically as Tsubasa comes charging in with a thunderous expression. "Yes?"
"Yes?!" She repeats with a hiss.
"Is that all you have to say?!" She questioned me while tapping her foot impatiently.
"Would you prefer I say no?" I ask while idly twirling a lock of my golden hair, while she's seething at me. Seriously, I don't see the big deal. Her expression of rage soon turns into one of concern. Jesus, she changes moods so quickly.
"What's up with you Katsu, why won't you take this seriously?" I give her a deadpan stare and give her an exaggerated look over and smirk.
"How can I take this seriously when looking at you distracts me so much?" I questioned and watched in amusement as her face slowly turned red until she was practically glowing. By my new memories, she's been with me since I was pretty young or well this body was young.
She's apparently been taking care of me for a good portion of my life, well this body's life and I'm pretty certain, judging by my memories at least, that she's completely loyal to me, which is good. Won't stop me from fucking her though.
"W-wha I- ah!" She sputtered out and promptly turned around and ran her cute ass out the door. Leaving it open only to come back a few seconds later to shut it. I let out a laugh. My first day here was proving to be pretty fun. I was cut out of my laughter by a notification appearing.

[Quest]

I growled. What the fuck. I didn't get reincarnated with the system just to be forced to go to some shitty school. I could be doing so many other things. You know, like levelling up or finding a way to raise my funds.
The so-called monthly allowance given to me by my dad is around 5,000 dollars per month and while that may seem like a lot, taking a look at my memories my father was worth billions and in the top 50 richest people in the world. In comparison it was kinda nothing and more importantly, it wasn't enough for what I wanted to do.
I can't keep relying on him for money and power. I didn't come here to do what I did in my old life. I came here to have some fucking fun.
[Are you done?]
I'm not getting out of this am I?
[No.]
I scowled, "Fine." I got out of bed and decided to have a shower to try to relax.
-Scene break-
Walking out of the bathroom with a satisfied smile. I stretch my arms for the first time in ages. Being stuck in the void made me realise how much I missed the little things in life. Cracking my neck, I open my large wardrobe and put on some comfortable shorts. Not bothering with a shirt since I wasn't planning to leave my room.
Finally, there had been something I had been wanting to test and that was my [Enchant Object] skill. I need something to use for my test.
I started to look through my room, trying to find something I could use to enchant. There was plenty of stuff in here. I searched through my new memories for anything I could use.
Finally, I found a golden combat knife. Which I had to admit looked pretty awesome. Picking it up, I go back and sit on the bed and rest the knife in my right hand while I think about what to enchant it with. Hmm. Well, let's start with basic sharpness. Using my enchant skill I feel my mana leave me and enter the knife making it glow gold.
The gold light dims and an extremely narrow line of red energy covers the edges of the blade. I use [Observe] to check it out.
[Golden knife] [Rank I]
A once ordinary combat knife imbued with a sharpness enchantment making it extraordinarily sharp. Owned by Katsu Ryoto.
(Note: Item ranks are denoted by the same ranking system as skills, with different ranks depending on the strength and type of the enchantments used and the materials used in the construction of the item.)
I smiled in excitement. That's what I wanted to see! Holy shit. And to think that's just the skill at Rank - I. I wonder what else I could add. Thinking a bit I get a sudden burst of inspiration.
Bringing the knife up and trying again, I feel my mana enter the knife and it glows again. When the glow dies down I use [Observe] again.
[Golden knife] [Rank I]
An ordinary combat knife imbued with a sharpness enchantment making it extraordinarily sharp and a durability enchantment making the blade extraordinarily durable. Owned by Katsu Ryoto.
As I think about more enchantments I could add, I get a warning from the system.
[Warning: only two enchantments may be put on an item at a time. Due to the user's skill level.]
I see, I'm not that surprised in all fairness. If I could have unlimited enchantments the skill would be higher ranked. Still, that's incredibly useful and I'm sure it'll bring in a massive profit too.
Taking a peek outside my windows. I saw that it was night time. I frowned and looked up at the gold-plated clock stationed on my wall, it was 11:47 PM. I hadn't realised it was night. That's annoying. I didn't have much time to play around with my new powers. I'll have to test them out at a later date. Walking over to my bed I place the knife on the bedside table.
While I didn't think I needed any sleep. I decided it would be best to test that theory another time since I'm fairly certain this quest isn't actually about school. It would be nice if the system would tell me the real reason… Guess not.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Something wasn't right. It didn't make sense for the system to force me to attend school and a single day at that. I could understand maybe a week or a month as a quest but it was willing to force me to auto-accept a quest with extreme punishments that would essentially stop my growth in power for two whole years. Which the system knew was unacceptable, especially in a world like this where supervillains are running around and alien invasions happen every other week.
It's more annoying that the system had to do this on my first day here. I had planned to immediately start training with my new powers but then I got sidetracked with the whole memory overload thing and now I can't even do it after the fact since I'm attending some random school. Which now begs the question of which school I was going to.
Closing my eyes I scan my new memories for any hint or clue as to where I was going before I found it and gaped in surprise. I had expected to be going to some rich kid school in some safe private school but apparently, my dad wanted me to be 'humble,' the fuck does that even mean? And he decided to send me to a public school in fucking Gotham. Is he trying to get me killed? Well probably since he was most definitely some sort of supervillain with his edgy personality and despised me pretty much.
If the background describing how my new family got their riches from selling weapons wasn't enough. He was most definitely always up to something. He was incredibly mysterious and secretive, he barely ever slept in the house and when he was here, he didn't even spare poor little old me a glance.
I'm pretty sure the previous occupant of this body definitely had some abandonment issues. Luckily I didn't give a single fuck. If he got in my way, he would be dealt with accordingly, family or not. Which I'm sure sounded much easier than it would be.
I'm also pretty sure he was in the big leagues with all the resources he had. If someone told me he was in the League of Shadows I seriously wouldn't be surprised, what with all the shady shit I can see from the memories I gained and fuck knows who my mother is. I gave a deep sigh and stretched my back. I guess there was no point complaining. Motherfucking Gotham city, is there anywhere worse to go to school? Seriously.
Something was 100% going on and I had no clue what it was. Which was admittedly bothersome. I have countless questions and no answers, not yet anyway. I'll just face it head-on and worry about it later. I yawned and decided to leave all this thinking to my future self.
I sauntered over to my huge bed and promptly flopped down face first and lazily yanked the blankets over myself and gave a sigh of fulfilment as the extremely comfortable mattress let me sink into its cosy embrace. I grinned.
It was good being me.
-Tsubasa Pov-
Tsubasa was pacing around her room with a massive blush still on her beautiful face. Her heart was thumping rapidly as she stared out of her window. 'Finally.' She turned around with a crazed look in her beautiful blue eyes.
'My love finally acknowledged me.' She squealed, her crazed look becoming wilder as a terrifying smile stretched across her face. Her dainty hands gripped the railing she was clinging onto.
'I was beginning to think he would never see me that way.' She thought with tears trailing down her face.
She had never told anyone about her deep obsessive love and need for Katsu. It was her biggest secret and while she was happy to play the part of the loyal maid. She wanted more. She wanted him. The desire only got stronger as he began to grow.
Tsubasa would have never stayed as a maid for so long if it wasn't for him. She had always stared at him whenever he wasn't looking. She had even killed for him, on multiple occasions.
Of course, he didn't know. Anyone that dared hurt her love was removed from the world painfully by her hand. Whether it was a few mean words or a random man that bumped into him on the streets of Metropolis.
She hadn't expected him to compliment her looks. She would have never guessed it, especially with him normally treating her like an older sister, much to her annoyance. She was taken off guard to such a degree that she felt the need to run away. Tsubasa scowled deeply.
She shouldn't have run away like a coward especially after she had been waiting for him to acknowledge her in any way for years and she may have lost her opportunity.
She started having disturbing thoughts of Katsu abandoning her for another woman for her act of weakness or ignoring her or maybe even replacing her. That made her eyes burn with insanity and rage. Her teeth clenched.
The railing beneath her hands started to decay rapidly as her hands let off a faint sickly pale grey glow that seemed to suck the light from the surrounding area. While her long silky silver hair began to float behind her.
She wouldn't let that happen. No other woman was deserving of him like she was. She knew everything about him and she had been taking care of him since he was a young boy, when he showed even the smallest hint of interest in any subject she always researched it intensely after.
Her feelings for Katsu went beyond mere obsession or love. She had a whole photo album of him under her bed that she… used occasionally and she had spied on him getting dressed more than once.
Her eyes lost their bright blue colour and their normal vibrance was gone making them dark and stormy. Her powers flared around her, decaying random pieces of furniture.
She would show Katsu how deep her devotion and love for him was in due time.
