"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!
-Two weeks later-
It's been a couple of days since the end of the Rias and Riser's rating game and following that event, I managed to get some information out of Himari two days after a long session of me, Albedo, Wiz and Esdeath torturing her.
She told us the name of her factions, who their strongest members are and their goals, which is to unite all dragon-based Sacred Gear users and dragons so they could overthrow all of the main factions.
She was taken in by Serafall and would be sent to a maximum prison in the Underworld and allowed me to keep her Sacred Gear as a gift.
I also kept up with my studies while also spending some time with Murayama, Katase and reluctantly, Aika, who still freaks me out for some reason.
I have no idea why she creeps me out.
Is it 'cause of how straightforward she is with her lewdness or maybe I'm not used to seeing a girl that's a blatant pervert like me?
Still, it was fun though a bit boring as Serafall ordered me to not do anything to mana or training.
But I couldn't help but want to grind, especially since I wanted to take my off of things and that allowed me to max out [Blacksmith, something that made me happy as I now had my [Light Armour Proficiency] in the Divine ranking, meaning that I didn't have to focus on it anymore.
I selected [Scribe] for my newest [Sub-Class] and it's currently level 40, getting me some nifty [Skills].
[Create Document] (Active)
Description: Creates a contract that once signed will be magically enforced, breaking the contract will result in a punishment agreed upon in the contract.
Cost: 1000 MP
[Create Scroll] (Active)
Description: Create a one use scroll of any spell you know
MP cost varies based on spell chosen
As for [Technomancer, it's currently level 90, which gave me access to 10-star robots I could now program and hack technology more efficiently and I could also control technology with far more ease as well.
As [Discmancer, it's level 50 but oddly enough, I didn't get any [Skills] for it so that must mean that I need to reach a higher level with this [Class] to get what I want.
After that long session of grinding, I then decided to spend some time with Rias, who looked happy about me now being Serafall's fiancé, especially since I found her and Sona planning a date for the wedding as well as which cake they should bring in for that special day.
I bonded with Rias over anime and life and in time, I came to see her as a close friend and me reaching over 100 in [REP] with her allowed me to get a new ability I certainly wasn't expecting in the slightest.
Skill gained.
[The Power of Destruction] (Active) – Rias [100]
Description: Allows the user to use the Bael Power of Destruction, dealing Destruction Damage
[MP SPENT [INTx2]
MP Cost Varies
I showcased this to her and almost immediately she called Sirzechs, Serafall and Sona but the surprise didn't stop there as I met Ajuka for the first time.
The man was as smart as the anime depicted him to be so thanks to his input, I would now be trained in the ways of how to use P.O.D. but there was one problem with what I did.
-Flashback-
"What?! What do you mean I have to marry Rias?! This is not what I signed up for!" I shout in indignation as I begin pacing around in panic before [Gamer's Mind] shuts the fear down, allowing me to think more logically.
"We have no choice Jin. If people learned about your ability to wield our bloodline with a decent level of mastery, then they'll begin to ask questions about your true origins and some will lose trust in us, which in turn could allow the Old Satan Faction to rally them under their cause." Sirzechs explains to me before I punch my table in anger at how stupid this whole situation is.
I know I am to blame but damn it!
I didn't think it would be that bad.
I half expected Sirzechs to brush this off as me getting a blessing from some random deity, not for me to marry Rias because of politics!
"I know this isn't what you wanted but please trust me when I say that our enemies are looking for any opportunity to see our society crumble. We just don't want to drag you down further than you already have. I hope you understand." He continues, with me pondering on his words.
...
I shouldn't accept this line of thought but at the same time, can I resist marrying Rias, one of the top-tier Waifu in all of existence?
No, no I can not.
Plus, I get some form of training in using P.O.D. so this shouldn't be too bad.
"Alright, I'm in. Whatever helps me get stronger." I say to them as a smile of amusement makes its way onto Ajuka's face.
"Ahh, a major Sin of Greed. Tale as old as time."
A [Notification] screen then appears so I mentally open it, a small feeling of trepidation on my face as I do so.
Sin of Greed
Description: You are never satisfied. You always want more and more...
Eh, could be worse.
"If that is all then we will leave. Also, we plan on getting started on how you can use our power more effectively. Good day you two." Sirzechs says before he, Ajuka, Grayfia and Serafall disappear via magic circle I let out a tired sigh before bidding my two new fiancés and leaving, trying to make sense of all of this.
-Present time-
Sirzechs decided for me to train under Venelana Gremory, his and Rias's mother, which was a bit of a problem with how beautiful she was.
Every target I hit, she would use that opportunity to hug me and that gave me access to seeing her... well-developed body, leading me to get the [Lustful] flaw.
A couple of tries more and I couldn't take it anymore!
Either she left or I would do I regret.
Just because it's an Ecchi world doesn't mean I want to lose my V card like that.
I'm still in the firm belief that it should be done with someone you truly love, like with a spouse or something along those lines.
I'm brought out of my musings because of a [Notification] so I mentally open it while I'm resting for a few minutes.
Your flaw [Lustful] has evolved!
Sin of Lust
Description: Your lustful desires have now become something that if left unchecked will result in disaster.
Great, just what I needed right now.
To think about fucking my newest fiancé's mother just because I can't keep it in my pants.
Sometimes, I hate the powers I've been bestowed with.
I mean, she's married, has two kids and could very well be a grandmother for fuck's sake.
I need a distraction from Kuoh, from this world in general before I lose all sense of rationality.
Where should I go and how would that even work?
Ahh, you and your questions.
You do realize that there's a [Help] function for all of your questions related to the Gamer, right?
WILL YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION, ROBOT?!
I take great offence to that!
Oh shut up! You don't even have real emotions. You're just pretending that you're sassy so you can annoy me more than you already do now.
REP decreases with Hestia for reminding her she's not real and thus, can't feel human emotions!
Hestia [10/100]
Since you finished the first season of DxD, you can now travel the multiverse to either grow stronger or enjoy life.
Note: You will not be able to leave that world until certain achievements are made.
Now, if you'll excuse me Gamer, I'm going to leave. Don't do anything stupid.
Yeah whatever, go kiss the dead already.
Tch, whatever.
...
Finally, some peace.
I get a [Notification] so I open it by tapping on it since no one's in the house.
Skill gained
World Jump (Active) LVL: MAX
Description: This Skill allows you to travel the Multiverse.
MP cost varies.
It'll do me some good to have a vacation plus, I get to train my Power Of Destruction so I don't have to worry about me slacking off in my training.
I bid farewell to Venelana for the day and teleport back home before going into my room so I could use my newest [Skill].
World Jump activated.
Select your second world.
Seven Deadly Sins
Tokyo Ghoul
Bleach (Yoruichi's timeline)
Naruto (Kushina's timeline)
One Piece
Dragon Ball Z
Pokémon
Digimon
My Hero Academia
Black Clover
Chainsaw Man
Jujutsu Kaisen
Demon Slayer
Hmm, what to choose?
Dragon Ball is an immediate no-no.
I don't feel like dying 'cause of everyone's favourite absentee father and the rest of his weird friends.
I could go to either Chainsaw Man or Jujutsu Kaisen but it's for the Waifus I'm going there so the best choice will have to be between Tokyo Ghoul, SDS, Naruto or Bleach.
After a few minutes of consideration, I decided to go to Bleach simply so I can get my revenge on the Soul Society and ultimately Sosuke Aizen.
World Chosen.
You have gained 30000 CP.
Select your character.
Human (Free)
Description: Humans are normal, living people, most of whom cannot see or sense spirits in any way. One in 50,000 Humans is a medium with some awareness of nearby ghosts, but only a third of these can see them clearly and only the strongest of mediums can speak with or touch ghosts.
Hollow (Free)
Description: The Hollows are evil spirits who normally reside in Hueco Mundo, but travel to the Human World to feed on the souls of the living and dead alike. Like Shinigami, Hollows are made of spiritual matter and cannot be detected by ordinary Humans. While the majority of Hollows can be overcome by the average Shinigami, there are some which surpass even the most elite Shinigami in strength. All normal Hollows wear white masks and have a hole where their heart used to be.
Quincy (Free)
Description: The Quincy are spiritually aware living beings who use weapons composed of spiritual energy to slay Hollows. Quincy absorb and channel energy from their surroundings to fight, obliterating the Hollow's soul rather than purifying it and sending it to Soul Society. This method has the propensity to shatter the balance of the universe because when souls are destroyed, the number of souls entering and leaving Soul Society cannot remain equal. This issue prompted the Shinigami to exterminate most of Quincy about 200 years ago
Shinigami (Free)
Description: Shinigami are souls with inner spiritual power, recruited from the ranks of the residents and nobility of Soul Society. Like all spirits, they cannot be detected by normal Humans. Shinigami use their Zanpakutō, supernatural swords that are the manifestation of their owners' power, to perform soul burials on Pluses. Shinigami also use Zanpakutō and magic known as Kidō to fight Hollows.
Vizored (2000 CP)
Description: A group of Shinigami who have also obtained Hollow powers through "illegal" means, gaining removable masks and access to certain Hollow abilities.
Arrancar (2000 CP)
Description: Arrancar are an evolution of Hollows that have broken off part of their Hollow mask. By shattering their masks, these Hollows regain the ability to reason, sometimes obtain a Humanoid form, and gain access to Shinigami-esque powers, such as a Zanpakutō of their own.
FullBringer (4000 CP)
Description: Fullbringers are a subset of Humans, being that they are living beings who are spiritually aware and were born with the eponymous ability Fullbring, which allows them to manipulate the souls that reside in all physical matter. Their powers are constituted by Hollow Reiryoku.
Hybrid (7500 CP)
Description: You are a mix of whatever race you choose to be.
I'm not gonna go with any variations of the human simply because I'm already a human so there's no point in me re-doing the same thing.
I pick a Vizored and Quincy [Hybrid] because it's interesting and it should give me control over my Reiatsu.
Select your Background.
Ex-communicated (Free)
Description: You were part of those that got experimented on by Aizen Sosuke, making it your mission to kill him for what he has done to you.
Ichigo's story (7500 CP)
Description: Much like Ichigo, your mother was a Quincy while your father was a Shinigami and both died in a Hollow attack but that forced all three of their Reaitsu to merge with you, making you a perfect mix of all the three main races.
I select [Ichigo's story] with a smile on my face as I think about the many ways I can make Yamamoto and his precious society suffer.
Select your ability.
Same Zapankuto (5000 CP)
Description: You possess the same Zapankuto as one of the many characters in Bleach.
Soulless Prodigy (5000 CP)
Description: You have an easier time learning the arts of the Shinigami such as Kido, Hakuda, Zanjutsu and Hohô.
I pick [Soulless Prodigy] because of how easy it will be to master the Shinigami skills.
Character customization is over.
Extra CP has been saved for the next time you try to World Jump.

Alrighty then, let's do this.
World Jump has been initiated.
-Later-
I wake up and find myself with the knowledge of my surroundings.
I'm currently in Karakura Town so I should try to Kisuke's Shop and begin training in the ways of the Shinigami 'cause the faster I take care of the Soul Society, the faster I can go back home.
I stand up and begin walking to Urahara's shop with a but of fascination and fear at being discovered by some Shinigamis.
It's not fear of me being discovered, it's the fact that I don't have any techniques from this universe to use against them.
If I'm gonna beat them, then I'll use their own methods against them.
I finally reach the shop and then step inside and see two kids playing with they guy looking Kisuke's assistant back in the beginning of Bleach.
"Hi, I'm here for Kisuke Urahara. It's important." I say to the man before Urahara walks in with Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu and Chad behind him.
Dayuuum!
Ichigo, if you're not going to get Orihime then I will and it's gonna be an awesome experience.
For me at least, I'd imagine that you wouldn't care and will file it as her being weird or some shit like that.
Early you really didn't care for romantic relationships, which is exactly why stealing your girl away from you will be so easy.
"Heard you were looking for me." Urahara says while I just stare at the people behind and surprisingly, the only one who's level is worth mentioning is Ichigo's, being level 30 while the rest of them are below 20.
No wonder the Espadas fucked these guys up.
They're thrash and are basically carried by the plot.
Although, this is a good chance for me to learn how to use [Soten Kisshun] and who better than Orihime herself?
At least she'll make herself useful on the battlefield.
As for Uryu, I guess I could learn some techniques from the Quincys like Blut or Hirenkyaku and as for our favourite protagonist, I'm gonna ask him if I can learn how to call on my Inner Hollow from Shinji and his group 'cause that'll give a big boost in power, something that will be needed for when I get revenge on the Gotei 13.
"Yes, I'm a upcoming Shinigami that was excluded by the Head Captain, Genryusai Yamamoto Shigekuni for protecting my friend who became a Hollow. He then killed him in front me to supposedly show me the errors of my way. Please, help me avenge my friend." I lie through my teeth and looks like my charisma stat and [Perks] really helped because Ichigo's and Kisuke's [REP] skyrocket and reach 20 while the rest of them reach 10 but it does manage to convince them so it's all good.
"Sure, we're going to Soul Society in 10 days to rescue Rukia. You can come along with us as we'll need the extra pair of hands." Orihime says jovially as Ichigo facepalms himself at the blunteness of the girl but still agrees with what she said.
"I was wondering if you had anything on Shinigamis, Hollows and Quincys. It's very important as I don't remember anything from my time on Soul Society except Yamamoto banishing to this mortal plane of existence." I say again as Urahara takes a book called Shinigami training for dummies another one called the history of the three races and how to hear the name of your Zapankuto.
I get a [Notification] so I mentally open it as they talk about their plan for training.

Y/N?
I press [Y] then bid them farewell and go looking for Uryu's house because when I manage to convince his father to let me get some books on the Quincy arts I will move on to training with Shinji's group for a few days and then I'll grind the remaining days inside the [Dungeons].
With [Fiction Adaptation] and a bit of my meta-knowledge, I manage to find his house under a few minutes so I then try to sense his life force and apparently there's no one here.
I'm good to go.
I step inside the house and explore his room for a bit before stumbling some Quincy equipement such as a bow used by most Quncys, some capsules, some books on the techniques so I 'borrow' them by putting them in my [Inventory] and jump out the window in search of Shinji or Hiyori since either way, I'll be able to get some training on how to control my Inner Hollow.
I suddenly remember that when Ichigo first met them, they were at an abandoned warehouse so that's where I look but first, I could use some sleep.
Travelling dimensions isn't all fun and games apparently.
I find an abandoned house nearby and go lay on the couch while reading some of the stuff on how to use Kido but seeing as I'm too tired to properly focus on the subject, I'll sleep now to gain a better chance of understanding what I'm reading tomorrow.
Soon enough, I fall asleep, entering the realm of dreams.
END!
I've noticed not reviewing a lot on this story anymore, which is weird and maybe well deserved with what I did in the beginning.
I'm not gonna go in detail nor justify what I did 'cause what I did was bad but I would still like some feedback on the most recent chapters. Whether it is summoning girls or worlds, I would like to interact with you guys once more.
Response to reviews.
