Disclaimer: I do not own this story if I did, I would be sleeping in a bed full of money.
Let's begin!
-Next day-
I wake up in my bed and then use the Bio-suit to create my uniform for school as today is Monday and I should at least take care of my high school persona.
But first, I'm gonna go grind for a couple of levels and then make a few [Health Potions] as that's the only thing that can help me for now and then, I'll try to focus on school.
I select the [Orc Dungeon] and find myself in front of a group of seven orcs, holding weapons like swords, clubs, and axes as I observed the tiny leader of the group.
Name: Orc
LVL: 40
HP: 9000/9000
MP: 90/90
STR: 140
END: 90
DEX: 65
INT: 0
WIS: 2
CHA: 5
LCK: 0
They are stronger than the goblins, but I am stronger than them as I summoned Yami's katana from my [Inventory] while I had an almost fiendish grin that parted my face.
"Well, then let's get grinding!" I say while charging at the orcs and they charge at me.
Even though the orcs have more numbers in their group, I am faster and stronger than all of them combined so this should be light work for me.
I killed all the orcs thanks to my speed and my katana, they are no match before me.
Stats Plundered:

After that, I continue forward through the path in the woods and kill any orc I come across.
-Timeskip-
I have killed a lot of orcs walking through the woods and gained a few level ups, then I heard the grass rustle a bit so I turned around to see an orc that is different than the others.
He is way bigger than the normal orcs, he had a battle axe on his back and wears armour.
"This is quite interesting, you must be the orc chief." I mutter to myself as I immidiately use [Observe] to see his status.
Name: Orc Chief
LVL: 75
HP 25000/25000
MP 2000/2000
STR: 265
END: 245
DEX: 115
INT: 105
WIS: 107
CHA: 70
LCK: 15
'He is pretty strong but I am stronger than him!' I thought to myself while charging at the orc and slashed with my sword at him only for the orc to block with his axe.
We started dealing some damage to each other, and eventually, his health was getting low, but suddenly he did something that I don't expect him to do!
It looks he's glowing and oh...
"Shit!" I say out loud, not expecting this to turn out for the worse.
As soon as the orc took a step further he disappeared and reappeared next to me with his axe aimed to cleave me in half.
I react quickly by using [Shadow Drive] to get away from him.
After I got some distance away a giant explosion went off where the orc was.
The orc got pissed off as he uses a skill.
The fuck?!
Since when could monsters use Skills?
[Orc Chief activated 'Wrath of the Wild'. All of his physical stats are quadrupled]
At a blinding speed, the orc came flying out straight at me but I reacted just as fast as I can to move out of the way to avoid his attack.
'Shit I need to do something and fast!' I thought before noticing that the raging orc is rushing at me again, but with my stats increased he looked slower than before, and I lunge at him.
I kill the orc chief by decapitating him with the katana as the boss of the orc was defeated.

Item Added:
3 Gacha Tokens
Staff of the Ruined King
Training Weights (Dragon Ball)
Skill Orb: Mana Thread
Orc Chief's Enhanced Battle Axe
I'm more like a sword guy than an axe guy if I'm being honest but maybe one day, I'll use this.
The [Skill Orb] is the most interesting here as I could use pure and unrefined mana to attack my enemies and since it's a thread, that has to mean that I'll be able to bind my opponents.
However, I'll save it for way later 'cause I don't even how many of these [Skills] are so until I do, I'm not gonna be using it.
I exit the [Dungeon] and get to school as fast as I could and get to my class.
I get to class and take a seat next to a side character, enjoying the silence in the classroom.
I then notice that Aika Kiryuu turned around and looked at my crotch, her gaze has yet to move and she was drooling.
Ok, I think that's enough, I snap my fingers to get her attention.
"My eyes are up here you know, "I say with a deadpan expression on my face.
"You weren't this good-looking the other day but you were packing that monster in your pants, actually I think it grew a few inches." She replies with a cocky grin on her face.
Right, she can accurately measure a guy's dick size with nothing but a glance.
"Thanks?" I ask in a high-pitched voice as the bell rings so I rush out the door without ever taking another glance at her.
She creeps me out for some reason but I can't figure it out.
Oh well, I'm far away from her and that's all that matters.
After school, I went back to my room and decided to use my gacha tokens since I did not use them earlier I pull out three of my gacha tokens from my inventory and tapped all three of them at once.
Item Added:
Shun Shun Rika
Description: This is the Fullbring of Inoue Orihime, a character from Bleach.
Abilities: Healing, Attack and Defence.
I use [Observe] to see what these abilities could do in a battle.
Santen Kesshun is Orihime's defensive technique. It repels attacks by placing a shield between the enemy and the target. The incantation arranges Hinagiku, Lily, and Baigon into a triangle which can repel the "outer shield". Because the barrier rejects negative events, it can also function as an airbag of sorts, allowing Orihime and anyone else nearby to survive a potentially lethal fall unharmed. Orihime is later able to shape Santen Kesshun into a dome-shaped barrier large enough to easily hold herself and other individuals.
Sōten Kisshun is Orihime's "healing" technique. It surrounds something to return it to its former, complete state. It rejects, reverses, and reconstructs phenomena that have occurred, even phenomena that Orihime hasn't witnessed. The incantation summons Ayame and Shun'ō to form a half-oval barrier around whatever or whomever Orihime wishes. They can repel the "inner shield." The shield placed inside means that they repel the damage within a limited area. In other words, they return a subject covered by the shield to the state that they were in before taking damage.[282] Orihime fully restored Grimmjow's destroyed arm from nothing. Sōsuke Aizen describes this as "The Rejection of Events". She can limit, reject, and negate any kind of event that has happened to her target. Later, she can fully resurrect the dead. While Orihime can heal wounds quickly, it takes longer for her to replenish the patient's Reiatsu. Large amounts of foreign spiritual pressure around a wound make her power to reject ineffective.
Koten Zanshun is Orihime's offensive technique. It rejects the fusion of matter and splits it. The incantation summons Tsubaki, who can repel "both sides of the shield." He breaks through the enemy, puts up a shield inside, and repels the combined substance, splitting the enemy in two. While Tsubaki can cut through anything, Orihime's general dislike of combat and hesitance to use lethal force degrades the effectiveness of the technique, making him easy to counter and equally easy to injure
Shiten Kōshun is one of Orihime's techniques. It combines Shun Shun Rikka's offensive and defensive properties. The incantation integrates Tsubaki into the center of her Santen Kesshun ability, creating a triangular shield which, at the very instant of receiving an attack, disperses the resultant force as a concentrated explosion which is automatically returned along the attack's opposing trajectory
It could be useful for Asia when I eventually recruit her if she's alive.
Time for the next pull!
Skill Added:
[Aura of Concealment] (Active/Passive)
Description: Aura that allows the user to conceal their magic abilities and their true strength from others who can sense magic.
This Aura skill is a bit too late to have since all the devil or even the fallen might have already noticed that I have magic and how strong I am, but still useful to hide that the fact I am getting stronger than before over time.
Time for the last one.
Perk Gained
[Heart of a Devil]
Description: Devils are attracted to you almost instinctively as if drawn in by some unnatural force and are more willing to listen to you.
Affection, Reputation, and Obedience gains are easier with Devils.
Great, befriending Sona and even Rias will prove to be far easier than I initially thought.
I text Gasper to tell him that I won't be able to train him today and report it back when I'm able to do so and go lay on my bed, unable to move as that session with Aika pushed me to my absolute limits and the worst part about this, is I don't even know why I did that in the first place.
Maybe I'm becoming more like the original Jin Kageyami or maybe this is a result of our personalities fusing into one another.
It kinda doesn't matter, to be honest.
Separately, we were losers before brought together by the [Game] and now, I have power, money and if I play my cards, I'll get Waifus so honestly, I think I'm winning in life as of right now.
I sit on my bed and get started on making on few potions so I could level up [Alchemy] and maybe move on to another [Sub-Class] before I go to sleep.
I manage to not only make a ton of [Health Potions] but also manage to make a couple of [Mana Potions, something that will help me replenish my MP when it's low and a special potion that I'm gonna give to the Devils once I'm friends with them.
You have maxed out [Alchemy]
[Blacksmith] [Runesmith] [Scribe] [Assassin] [Wardcrafter] [Artificer] [Engineer]
I select [Assassin] as I'm more of a stealthy guy than I am anything else as of right now.
[Assassin] - LVL 1/50 [0%]
Gain 5 DEX and 5 CHA per level.
[Dagger Mastery] (Passive)
Description: You have decent control over daggers and knives.
[Gun Mastery] (Passive)
Description: You have decent control over any type of gun.
[Silent Step] LVL: 1/30 [0%]
Description: This Skill allows the user to mask his steps by controlling his stamina in a way that makes him/her a true assassin.
Cost: 1000 SP per minute
Those are pretty good and especially that last [Skill] as that'll provide me with some form of stealthiness when I truly need it.
With that done with, I enter a dreamless but pretty deep sleep.
