"Thoughts," Someone says
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 I take a look around my room and realize that there's no school today, which means I'm free to go grind for some levels.
I want to test the powers of [Plunder] on someone with a high enough power like Rias or Akeno since their racial abilities are going to be super useful to me.
Now, how am I gonna befriend Rias without her getting suspicious of me?
I begin pacing all around the room, trying to come up with a solution to my problem before realizing that there might be a way for me to do so without earning her ire.
If I can get reincarnated in her Peerage, I can potentially get what I want without her figuring it out and I get to fight Riser Phenex, a piece of shit who should've died after that fight against Issei.
There are just a couple of problems that come with this.
One, I'll become weak to anything that is holy or has God in it, which is just pathetic and a waste of time, to be honest.
Two, while I do want to join the two heiresses' side, it simply will not end well for me.
Let's say that I join Sona's Peerage, she's going to work me to the bone and when I do manage to do something she wants, I'm gonna be a small congratulations out of her, which is just evil boss energy.
Plus, I have to deal with her yandere sister who's also a Satan, in a high position in the Underworld, which means that I can't do anything without earning their anger, which is something I don't need in my life.
If I decide to Rias, then it's more problems because not only do I have to deal with the traumas in her Peerage but I also have to take care of her weirdo of a brother and his wife.
From the many Fanfictions I've read of Grayfia, she's cold, manipulative and ready to do whatever it takes to make the Devil race prosper, which will probably include whoring herself out to a human.
Now, I could steal her away from Sirzechs but I don't want to get blasted by the Power Of Destruction before I can figure out a way to either counter it or absorb it.
As for the Fallen Angel and Angel races, I don't want to be under Azazel or Micheal's watch if I can help it so staying as a human is the best choice for now.
Now, it's time to grind for some levels.
I select the newest [Dungeon, which is the Goblin one and watches as I'm then taken to a small forest with tiny hutts a couple of feet away from me.
I then enter the village and find a couple of Goblins glaring at me, holding spears, bows and tiny swords in there as I use [Observe] to see their stats.
Goblin (X6)
Level 25
HP: 2000/2000
Goblin Archer (X4)
HP: 1000/1000
Goblin Spearsmen (X8)
HP: 1200/1200
Goblin Mage (x2)
HP: 1500/1500
MP: 1000/1000
Well, they're not that strong but still, better safe than sorts.
"Shadow Bomb!" I shout as I fire off a basketball-sized ball of pure darkness at one of them, which incinerates him and he falls to the ground, burned to a crisp.
They begin screeching in anger as I take out and brandish my Iron Sword with a fiendish smile on my face.
"Come, all of you! Let the grinding begin!"I roar out while running at them, laughing like a demented maniac.
-Timeskip-
That was a good training session, especially since I managed to get to level 50 in a short amount of time, getting a ton of new [Perks].
You have gained some new Perks for reaching over 250 and 500 in some of your Stats!
[Strong Fist]– STR 250
Description: Barehanded attacks deal two times damage.
Great Reflexes- DEX 250
Description: You have great reflexes, you automatically dodge attacks without thinking.
Poison Proof- END 250
Description: Nearly all poisons are rendered ineffective against you, only the strongest magical poisons can harm you
[Magic King] - INT 500
Description: 50% Extra MP
All spells now cost 40% less
Less intelligent magical beings will feel the desire to submit to you
[Renaissance Man] - WIS 500
Description: Classes and Professions level twice as fast.
Party members gain a major EXP bonus
[Platinum Tongue]- CHA 250
Description: Speech Checks will almost always pass and people will be far more likely to accept deals that are more beneficial to you
Lucky Gacha- LUK 250
Description: Your Gacha token has a significantly better chance to give good items.
New Dungeon Unlocked: Orc
You have reached level 50! You can now choose a Sub-class.
Sub-class, huh? Let's see...
Select a specialization
[Alchemist] [Blacksmith] [Runesmith] [Scribe] [Wardcrafter] [Artificer] [Engineer]
Alchemist might be my best bet, Blacksmith is about making weapons, and Runesmith is more for enchanting armour and weapons.
Engineering is about making machines, but kind of useless right now since this is a modern world with the supernatural in it.
And Artificer is for making magical artifacts but requires special materials to make them all sounds useful of course, but Alchemist seems like my best choice for a moment.
Potions are always useful since I have no good healing skill that can heal me quickly.
[Alchemist] - LVL 1/50 [0%]
Gain 5 INT and 5 WIS per level.
[Create Potion] (Active)
1000 MP per potion made
Description: Create a brew from your recipe list
New Recipes Available: Health Potion, Mana Potion, Poison Potion
It seems that it only can go up to 50, unlike the main classes which go to 100, but still useful. Creating potions is expensive MP-wise, but I don't seem actually to need ingredients.
Opening the 'Recipe List' I check the most important one on the list, the Health Potion
Health Potion Recipe
Description: Allows the creation of Health Potions.
Requirements: 2 Ingredients with the
[Restore Health] Effect.
Available:
Lesser potion - Restores 10% HP when drunk.
Normal Potion -(Locked until Alchemist level 10)
Greater Potion- (Locked until Alchemist level 25)
Max Potion- (Locked until Alchemist level 50)
At the moment that is not good enough, making a lesser potion that only restores 10% HP is not good right now for big fights, but at max level Alchemist it would restore 100% which is far better.
I'm gonna have to upgrade [Plunder] by stealing some of the Racial Skills that Kuoh has to offer before it's too late.
I did get some new Skills from my main [Class] like [Shadow Strangle, a weird but useful move if I ever want to paralyze my enemies with more efficiency.
Now that this is over with, I want to create my harem since it's been two days since I've gotten isekai'ed in this world and I won't haven't talked to a chick, except Katase but she doesn't count as I barely consider her to be a woman.
I refuse to make the same mistake that most harem protagonists do, for I will be the TRUE HAREM KING! What better to do than gather a harem in the bountiful land of sexy women?
Quest Added

Okay, now that is going to be worth the rewards.
I take out of tokens that are in my [Inventory] and use [Observe] on one of them to see how I use those.
[Gacha Token]
Description: Allows one pull of the Gacha, granting you a random skill/item/perk/companion
I wonder which skill, item, perk, or companion I will get. Time to start as I use the first one.
Item Added!

This is perfect!
Now I don't have to worry about breaking another weapon ever again!

Shadow Clone (RWBY) LVL: 1/10 [0%]
Description: This semblance is from the RWBYverse, used by Blake Belladonna, one of the members of team RWBY.

A bit taxing on the SP gauge but overall is fine to have as an ability.
Let's see what I get next.
Perk added!

Due to the Perk Haki, you have gained some new Skills!

Description: Conqueror's Haki is a rare form of Haki that allows the user to exert their willpower over others. This type of Haki cannot be attained through training and only one in several million people are born with this ability.
YES! This is the best pull of all time! I've got Haki baby!
Granted, I'm gonna have to train it but still, this is the best thing that happened all day.
Time for the next pull!
Skill Added!
Anti-Magic LVL: 1/100 [0%]

Weapons unlocked at Level 25.
Black Form unlocked at Level 50.
Devil Union unlocked at Level 100.
This will be perfect for me to use alongside Yami's katana.
And now, for the last one.
Companion Gem: Yoruichi Shihôin
Description: This summons Yoruichi Shihôin from Bleach.
Awesome! I get to summon a waifu but what is a [Companion gem]?
A Companion Gem is a gem that allows you to summon an anime/video game character from outside their respective universe to join you on your adventures.
They will be given knowledge of your existence so they won't be confused when they appear in your universe.
That's good to know, thanks, Hestia.
You're welcome.
Now that's over with, the best course of action would be to train but I'm kinda tired from the [Gacha] so I'm gonna go take a nap.
I lay on my bed and soon enough, I go to sleep with a big smile on my face, holding my new katana in my left hand.
END!
Response to reviews!
Uday Sra: Thanks man! Glad to see you a part of the journey.
JG72: While your explanation holds some weight, I choose not to because of the weaknesses that come with it. The Devils, Youkai and Fallen are all weak to the Holy element. The Dragons can be killed by a Dragon Slaying Artefact and turned into a Sacred Gear, I mean, look at Ddraig and Albion and Angels run the risk of falling if they sin so yeah, being a human is the best choice for now.
Greed 2nd Sin: Glad you're liking it so far. I will try my best to have my writing be at its best but one can never be too sure of anything and I agree, Latinas will stab you.
Godofwar01: I do plan for Jin to get all Vrirtra's Sacred Gears simply because I've never seen a Gamer use that in any of the fics that I've read so far and while he will be helping Rias with her marriage problems and Sona with her dreams of opening her own Rating Game academy, I don't plan on him joining either of their Peerage as stated by him in this chapter. Hope you are still down for the ride.
That's it for the reviews but tell me what you want to see next and I'll catch you all on the flip side.
