Hey guys, kurama here with another chapter of DXD: Like A Shadow and I hope you will enjoy this as much as I will.
"Talk," someone says
"Dragon, Game Talk/thought/spells, Quest/Rewards! Someone says.
"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 and decide to use my [Gacha Token] before getting started on my training.
Rolling...
Heart Crystal x2
Description: This allows you to increase someone's REP.
I immidiately use it on Shuri since she's at 30.
[MILF Hunter] – Shuri [50]
Affection and Obedience grows faster with mothers
And now, Shuri has no choice but to approve of me and Akeno when we eventually get married.
Now that it's done, I can get started on my lecture for the day.
I grab my [Gale Reading Glassses 64x] out of my [Inventory] and begin reading the books on the Quincys first as that will help me use some long-range techniques should I ever need it.
"Hmm, how interesting. Quincys were known back in the day as the Soul King's vanguard but for some reason, they rebelled against him for more power. Their techniques gave later been stolen by the Shinigami and the Hollows, who discriminated them for not being the true children of the Soul King." I mutter, reading over one of the pages I was on.
I finish the book after a minute of reading, which showcases the power these glasses really hold 'cause I doubt I would've finished this in a day if I decided to read it like a normal person.
As I continue to think about the glasses, a [Notification] then pops up so I decide to check it out.
You have unlocked a new system function!
Perk Tree system!
This allows you to get non powerful Perks using either your money or Perk Points, which are buyable or can be obtained when completing main quests.
I take a look at some of them and decide to buy [Perks] that are mostly related to my [Stats] and increasing reputation with two factions in DxD.
Perk Gained
[Iron Body]
Increases HP and SP by 50% per END stat.
Increases HP and SP regen by 50%.

[Adrenaline Rush]
Description: Once a day, when faced with a dangerous attack, the DEX stat will increase to three times the original amount for 1 minute.
[Lucky Pervert]
Description: You will face situations with the members of the opposite sex that might give to the chance to get lucky.
Luck is multiplied by 3 during perverted situations.
[Devil's Luck]
Description: It is almost impossible to defeat you in a game of chance or other gambling activities. LCK checks are easier.
[Devilish Charm]
Description: The Devil Race as a whole has a favourable impression of you.
Easy Reputation with Devil Faction.
[Angel's Grace]
Description: Holy Beings are attracted towards you.
Easy Affection, Obedience and Reputation with Holy Beings.
"I should try to keep my money, even though it felt really good to buy whatever I wanted. Stupid Sin of Greed." I mutter that last part angrily as I shut the screen down before I'm compelled to spend all of my money useless [Perks].
I decide to finish reading the rest of the books I 'borrowed' and once I was done with that, I decided to test out the abilities I've chose when coming into this world.
I use [ID Create: Empty] to send me to a vacant pocket dimension so that I could train my new powers.
Raising my hand towards a tree I just created with my mind, I focus on some of my most darkest and negative thoughts since according to the books on Hollows, their barely restrained instincts or desires allows them to use techniques such as the Cero, Bala or even Hierro as their desires for survival will push their bodies to evolve into the next level.
If I want a better control of my Inner Hollow, then it will be better for me to learn the techniques of the Hollows first then Shinigami and so on forth until it is time for me to get Rukia.
I create a small ball of energy reminiscent to my Power Of Destruction [Skill] except this one isn't made to destroy, it's made to kill quickly and rapidly.
The ball shoots forward and destroys the tree in one blow as I then focus a [Notification] screen pops up so I decide to take a look at it.

Okay, now I'm gonna get started on levelling those [Skills] up before I go out to meet with Urahara.
But it's kinda annoying that I'll have to spend most if not all of my energy on doing this but I guess there's nothing I can do until I learn how to duplicate myself.
I select the Monster [Dungeon] and flare up my mana, alerting the monsters as they all lunge at me with the intent of killing me.
"Well then, let's get this party!"
With those words blurted out, I too, leap towards my current opponents, ready for a decent challenge.
-Timeskip-
"And that's the last one here." I say as I snap a dire wolf's neck in the brutal way possible, watching with glee as it howls in pain before turning into golden pixels.
I maxed all of my [Classes, getting a new [Notification] so I open it to see what I'm gonna choose.
You have maxed out your Primary Class!

Items added.
10,000$
3 Gacha Token
Celestial Spirit Key: Aries
Celestial Spirit Key: Cancer
Celestial Spirit Key: Pisces
Skill Orb: Star Magic
Only four more left until I get all of the Celestial Spirit Keys for myself but the question remains...
"What am I supposed to do with this?" I ask before shoving all of my rewards into my [Inventory, uncertain of what to do with them.
I should continue to train until my meeting so that's exactly what I'm gonna do but this time, I'm going to go for a new [Dungeon].
To be honest, I was rather reluctant to do this, seeing as this one has higher levelled monaters than what I'm used to but I have to do this.
I can't just sit back and let myself grow complacent.
Select the newest Dungeon.
[Knight] [Beast] [Ice Age] [Puppets] [Magicians] [Shogun]
I select [Knight] and find myself in a fancy castle with a bunch of different knights glaring at me so I use [Observe] on one of them to see its [Stats].
Taking the oppurtunity to grow even more powerful, I decide to only use [Renewal Taekwondo] until I'm face to face with the boss.
So with a new wave of determination washing over me, I make my way to the boss room, destroying anyone who dares stand in my way.
By the time I get to the boss room, I get several [Notifications] so I quickly open them after defeating a random Knight.
You have gained a couple of Perks for reaching over 1000 in all of your Stats!
[Titanic Power] - 1000 STR
Doubles all forms of Physical Damage
Once a week, you can double your STR for 1 minute
[Dragon's Heart] - 1000 END
HP and SP are doubled
Once a day, you can triple your HP for five minutes, but your HP will get a 75% reduction once the buff is done for one day
[Untouchable] - 1000 DEX
There's a 30% chance that your body will move on its own, dodging almost any attack heading your way.
[Gacha God] - 1000 LUK
Description: Once a week during a day of your choosing, you will receive 2 Gacha Token.
Select your day
I select Friday since that was my favourite day back in my first life and that was mostly 'cause I didn't have school on the weekends so I was pretty much free to do whatver I want, regardless of the consequences.
Also, I'm not gonna lie, those are pretty good [Perks] and this now means that I'm in the Veteran [Rank, making me a lot more than ever thought possible.
I get another [Notification] so I open that one as well.
Would you like to upgrade this Skill?
Y/N?
I press [Y, watching as a new screen pops up in front of me.
Recoiless Renewal (Active) LVL: 1/20 [0%]
Description: The Renewal Recoilless is a concept or principle which was developed by Jin Tae-Jin. It could be obtained once the user has mastered all of the basic Renewal techniques and can execute any move perfectly by focusing all their energy into a single point without wasting any movement. Every single Renewal technique could get a Recoilless upgrade.
Techniques: All of those you learnt in Renewal Taekwondo.
With that, I kick the door open and find myself in front of the boss so I quickly use [Observe] on him to see his [Stats].
Name: Royal Knight
LVL: 150
HP: 150000/150000
MP: 10000/10000
STR: 575
END: 619
DEX: 748
INT: 1572
WIS: 1572
CHA: 760
LCK: 143
Okay!
This is gonna be difficult, I'm not gonna lie but if I play my cards right then I should be able to win.
Activating Asuramaru's demon form then stack it on top of both Vrirtra's Balance Breaker and the 'Black Form', I lunge at the Knight with a demented smile as I let my bloodlust take control of me for this battle.
I jump over his sword and use both the momentum I built from that singular jump and my high enough dexterity to give a quick [Mach Punch] to the back of his head as I then summon my army of undead and shadows to assist in battle.
We soon begin our assault on him by continuosly hitting him until he died while also making sure that he did not get a hit in as his [Stats] were too high for me not to consider him a threat, despite the [Rank] I got a few minutes ago.
I kick open the chest to check the loot.
Items added.
500,000$
3 Gacha Token
Celestial Spirit Key: Capricorn
Celestial Spirit Key: Gemini
Celestial Spirit Key: Taurus
Skill Orb: Kawarimi no Jutsu (Naruto)
Only one more key to go and I'll have the full collection of these keys.
I recall back my army and go back to the real world with [ID: Escape].
Seeing as I have a few minutes before I can leave, I should probably use the [Gacha Tokens] and see what other rewards I can get.
Rolling...
Celestial Spirit Key: Libra
Description: Allows the caster to summon a spirit to aid them in battle.
Great!
The collection is now complete.
Time for the next one.
Skill Orb : Mokuton Kekkei Genkai
Description: This Skill Orb allows you to use Hashirama's Kekkei Genkai, the Mokuton.
Nice!
This is gonna help me tremendously when I decide to go to the Naruto world.
I'll use my last one here so I can keep the rest and use them in the future.
Enkidu: Chains of Heaven
Description: The chains that bound the Bull of Heaven itself, Enkidu is one of the most effective weapons against godly beings, as the more divine powerone has, the stronger the chains become
The blade on the front of the chain deal 10K Damage that cannot be resisted
"Good Pull!" I couldn't help but speak out loud, excited as I think of many scenarios with it.
It'll be very useful against the gods of DXD, especially the Hindu, seeing as they're the most powerful ones there, according to my meta-knowledge of the world.
Alrighty then, now that that's over with, let's go meet up with Urahara and see what he has to offer.
I use the [Sonido] to get to his shop and find him training Ichigo, who's struggling to get the Shikai of his Zapankuto.
"I'm here, Urahara." I say, making the shop owner turn his head to look at me.
"Great, we can get started on you learning the ways of a Shinigami." He says as I go sit in the lotus position a couple of feet away from Ichigo as to not distract him while also learning the ways of a Shinigami.
"First of all, take this sword. It'll help you learn Zanjutsu a bit more faster than most Shinigamis."
"Right. Thanks." I say before using [Observe] on it.
Regular Zapankuto
Rank: Uncommon
Description: The Zanpakutō of low-ranking Shinigami are called Asauchi and do not have names, but the Zanpakutō of high-ranking Shinigami do have names. In its sealed state, a Zanpakutō has the form of a Japanese sword.
Note: It does not have a name yet.
Hmm, I could use the meta-knowledge I have of this world and train under Nimaiya so that I could get an Asauchi since these swords have the potential to become an ultimate Zapankuto, like Zangetsu for example.
Regardless, I thank the man and leave the place, earning a bit of confusion from both him and the people around us but I promise them to be there the day of Rukia's rescue operation.
I make it back to the house I 'borrowed' yesterday and put the Zapankuto in my [Inventory, not expecting myself to use it until I meet Nimaiya for some training and to be honest, I'm not really sure if it's possible for me to even get a Zapankuto of my own.
I had thought about this but very vaguely while I was reading the books I stole and the reason why is because of [Gamer's Mind, which shuts down not only my emotions to make me a more logical thinker who isn't hindered by his emotions but the [Skill] in question also prevents anyone from entering my mind.
With my doubt not entirely brushed off, I soon enough, I fall asleep, entering the realm of dreams.
END!
Hello everyone, I would like to say thank you from the bottom of heart for the reviews, the favourites and the followers. We are officially at 422 favourites, 528 followers and 95 reviews.You guys are awesome! Thank you for sticking along this story and I hope that you enjoy the rest of the ride.
I also plan to release a new Gamer story that's more focused on a K-drama I saw recently and has been announced for a season 2 by the end of July.
Question: Which waifu would you like to see Jin summon next? Leave me a PM or Review to let me know your thoughts.
Response to reviews.
ConfusedSage: I do admit that it's not one of my best moves, especially since Rias's bratty attitude just pisses me off. I'd rather get killed by Raynare than even attempt to work with her.
Guest: Hmm, I see and I understand. Seeing from a reader's point of view, I can understand where you're coming from but unfortunately, I really had no other way to make sure that Rias and Jin got together when he unlocked the P.O.D. without things getting too political.
dxdsuperfan209: Thank you very much and hope you stick along for the ride.
Wade98: I did not know that or maybe they mentioned it in either the manga or the anime and I just forgot. Thanks for the info man and good to have you back in the review section.
mgasmsms: He's going to be using it a lot more in the future but the glasses make their debut this chapter. Hope you enjoy.
