(Chapter 10: A Fandom in Flames)
It would be the middle of October as things had continued to go fairly decently all things considered with there rarely being anyone to bother Adrian due to him having built quite a reputation around him of it being best to not anger him if you wished to continue living, while time continued to pass for the Gamer. During said time Adrian had decided to take a break from leveling up his Pyromancer class and focus on Martial Artist for awhile in wanting to cover up his bases in close- quarters combat, as such had managed to get said class to level 17.
While everything was going on he was also picking out some movies to watch with Kurumu when Halloween weekend came around, as he wanted to be ready for it as it would get him one step closer in getting next to the busty succubus and the fact that he'd get to watch some dope movies as well was an added bonus.
(October 19th, 2016, Yokai Academy, 3:21 Pm)
It was sometime later after classes had let out, as the Pyromancer was out taking his trash to the incinerator and enjoying a quiet few moments to himself on a relatively sunny day minus a few clouds that overcast the clear blue skies.
'Finally I get a nice day to myself. I got a bottle of lemonade, some of Kurumu's brownies and no one to bother me. This feels like a really good day right now.' Adrian thought to himself as he was listening to some Twelve Foot Ninja on his headphones
Prepare to have your good day ruined. Because you've got company coming. And by the looks of it some really entertaining ones as well, so have fun.
"Oh you've gotta be shitting me. Of all the garbage that has to ruin my day, its these numbnuts...just my fucking luck. Well, I guess I can consider my good mood for today officially ruined." Adrian sighed as he used Thermal Vision to scan the area and saw 3 heat signatures coming towards him
With Adrian figuring that he might as well wait and see what all the fuss was about and too is annoyance and dismay it was none other than the Fanboy Coalition telling him that they were here in the name of their goddesses….the ones that were still alive at the moment, to do one thing and one thing only. That being that Adrian stopped seeing and ceased all contact with their goddesses and declared himself unworthy of their time, or face their wrath...which more amused him that they thought they could threaten him into doing such an absurd thing.
'...I'll give them one thing. They got a major set of brass balls on them to demand shit from me. Oh well at least I get the chance to dust of my Martial Artist skills on them' Adrian thought to himself in giving them credit for having the nerve to try and demand that he piss off from Moka and Kurumu
"Alright, to all 3 of you. My answer is gonna be a hard no, especially to fat ass over there. Since I'm settin' up a movie night with Kurumu in about 2 weeks." Adrian told them as he especially looked towards Busaburo who seemed to seethe at hearing that
"How dare you go near lady Kurumu, you bastard!" Busaburo exclaimed in anger while Adrian just snickered at the portly yokai's rage
"Well, its not like you have any chance with her to begin with. I mean look at me and then look at you. Since I'm not particularly a vain person, but as far as looks go I'm definitely better looking than your fat ass. By the way can you even see your own dick past all that blubber?" Adrian retorted causing Busaburo's face to redden in anger of the insult to his relatively obese form
"But, if all of you really think you can beat head to head. Then go ahead and try, or are none of you noble enough to stand up for your goddesses?" Adrian asked mockingly which further drew the ire of the coalition
"Come on guys, there's 3 of us and only 1 of him! Let's kick his ass, and show him what happens for being near out sacred goddesses!" Kozo shouted as the other two nodded and agreement and charged after him with their wooden bats ready to beat him to a pulp
The pyromancer decided that this would be a good opportunity to bust out his Martial Artist skills, so getting into a boxing stance and using Bulk Up and Brace on himself he awaited the charging trio who came after him intent on beating him to a bloody pulp. With the first strike coming from Busaburo who struck at him with a wooden bat the result was him blocking it and then retaliating with a brutal Counterstrike which came in the form of a vicious punch to Busaburo's jaw that sent him sprawling onto his back.
While the other Fan Club Coalition members were taken aback by Busaburo having been laid out in a single punch, Adrian went on the offensive and delivered a reverse roundhouse kick to Kozo's stomach that was followed up by him getting a punch to the dead center of his forehead. Kubasaki having tried to go in for a sneak attack with his bat, but Adrian had sensed the telegraphed swing and caught it in his left hand before using Bulk Up to increase the power of his uppercut that cracked away at Kubasaki's teeth.
Busaburo had went into tackle Adrian who saw him coming and used Misty Step to teleport away and land above him where he delivered a brutal axe kick to the back of Busaburo's head which landed as a critical hit, causing him to stumble and stagger as his vision made him see 3 Adrian's. The pyromancer then followed it up with another Bulk Up and used the added power to slug Busaburo across the face, sending the portly student to the ground shaking and seizing from the hard blows to the head.
Kubasaki had tried to go in for another bat swing but Adrian had Misty Stepped behind him and caught him in a choke-hold, suffocating the bespectacled coalition member and using him as a human shield against Kozo. The leader of the coalition had tried to move against Adrian, but with every step he tried to take Adrian only tightened his grip on Kubasaki's neck with the intention of breaking it should he not relent and take his cronies with him.
"So what's it gonna be? Either you and your friends here can make like Michael Jackson and beat it. Or I break this one's neck. Your call." Adrian told him as either way they were gonna piss off and leave
'Damn it this isn't how it was supposed to go but I guess we don't have a choice.' Kozo thought to himself in knowing that for now they'd lost this battle
"You better hurry up and give an answer. Because I'm pretty sure your friend here doesn't have much oxygen in him." Adrian said in tighten the hold on Kubasaki whose face was beginning to turn blue from the lack of oxygen
"Fine, you win. Just let him go." Kozo responded in knowing that they'd have to concede defeat unless Kubasaki's neck suffer from being broken like a Kit-Kat bar
"That's what I thought." Adrian said in releasing the hold and letting Kubasaki go
"Now then, take your fat friend and piss off!" Adrian ordered while Kubasaki slinked away to help Kozo get the stunned and sputtering Busaburo away
"You may have won this one Taylor. But mark my words we'll be back to make you pay for daring to even be near our goddesses!" Kozo proclaimed as Kubasaki glared at Adrian
"Soon you'll get what's coming to you after what you did to my darling Yukari." Kubasaki snarled in anger before he helped his battered compatriot get away from the pyromancer
"You keep talking and then I'll actually get serious and incinerate you. So either scram now, or get turned to ash!" Adrian ordered as he made flickers of fire appear in his hand which did the job of intimidating the trio into running away
'Well, that takes care of that nonsense. I guess the only thing left to do is head up to the Celestial Dungeon and do some practicing with my Martial Artist class.' Adrian thought to himself as he decided to head to his room and do some further practice on said class
(3 days later, October 22nd, 2016, Yokai Academy, 1:24 Pm)
It was a few days later as Adrian was doing some doodles in his notebook of ideas for attack droids and robots for the future while also thinking of another world he could go to besides Harry Potter that would pique his interest.
"Oh hey Adrian, whatcha doing?" Kurumu asked as she saw Adrian drawing in his notebook
"Hey Kurumu. I'm just doing some doodles in my notebook. Nothin' special really." Adrian answered back as he didn't really see them as anything special
"Do you mind if I see some of them?" Kurumu asked wanting to see how good Adrian's supposed 'doodles' were
"Sure. But I don't think that they're gonna be anything mind-blowing." Adrian said with a shrug as he handed her his notebook
With that Kurumu began looking through Adrian's drawing notebook and was surprised to see highly detailed drawings of various robots from ones wielding shoulder mounted cannons and looked like armored tanks to others that looked highly mobile with lighter armor plating and armed with futuristic looking pistols and rifles. With her looking further into the notebooks and not seeing machines like she had earlier on in the notebook, but elaborately drawn creatures such as dragons, griffons, hydras, krakens and even chimeras that looked nearly lifelike with all of the detail put into them.
"So what do you think, and be honest with me?" Adrian asked the succubus as to what she thought of his artwork
"These are some really amazing drawing, Adrian!" Kurumu answered in knowing full well that Adrian was a talented artist
"You really think they're that good?" Adrian asked while Kurumu nodded in acceptance
"Of course, these look pretty great." Kurumu told him in finding them to look pretty good
"Thanks. Hey maybe I can draw somethin' of you sometime." Adrian offered to the succubus in being all for making a portrait of her
"That sounds like a great idea. Oh, maybe you could do a painting of me sometime. I'd reakky love to model for you." Kurumu said her voice briefly taking on a more lustful tone
"Sure. Just tell me whenever your free and I can get started immediately." Adrian responded as he took back his notebook
"Anyways, besides complimenting me on my drawing skills. Anything else going on? Because I'm hoping were still good for movie night next week?" Adrian asked as to if they were still good for their movie going as planned
"I've been doing great until those fan club guys you talked about kept bothering us. Especially the fat one who keeps following me everywhere." Kurumu answered back with a shudder that ran down her back as her fanboy kept being a fucking creep
"What did yours do to you? It couldn't have been that bad, could it?" Adrian questioned Kurumu in wondering how bad the obese yokai could've made things for her
Kurumu told him of how she and some of the other girls had caught Busaburo who had managed to sneak into the girl's locker room and proceeded to take her clothes and use them furiously and quite vigorously beat his meat. With the succubus having to subsequently go and get a spare change of her uniform due to him having came all over them when she walked in on him doing the deed, suffice to say this heavily angered Adrian at the fact that the fat bastard would dare to do that someone who was his.
"I...I just have to fucking ask? What the fuck is wrong with him, much less him and the rest of his cronies?" Adrian wondered as to just what the hell was wrong with them
"At least Moka got off light compared to what happened to me. I had to fucking burn my uniform, because he got all that shit on it." Kurumu said shuddering at the fact that her clothes were used as fap material for that fat sack of shit
"I swear next to that little shit Yukari, I didn't think it was possible for people to piss me off so much. But low and behold they managed to do it." Adrian spoke while his right eye was now twitching from how angry he was
"At least you aren't on the receiving end of this." Kurumu replied with a sigh in her voice at the fact that she had to get rid of one of her now ruined uniforms
"Let's not think about the fact that their just completely fucked in the head. Instead, let's talk about some other stuff that isn't vomit-inducing." Adrian said as he'd rather change the subject from the pure disgust of the antics of the Fan-Club Coalition
"Totally. Sorry, I just..just had to get that off my chest. Because, I don't think I can put it into enough words how much I'm both creeped out and disgusted." Kurumu responded in feeling nothing but unease around Busaburo
"You're fine Kurumu." Adrian told her as he understood full well of wanting to get that crap off her chest
"I just can't wait for us to do that movie night together, I need something to get my mind off that fat creep." Kurumu said in wanting to have something to take her mind off Busburo and what he did
"Neither can I. But until then, you wanna grab something to eat?" Adrian asked if she wouldn't mind accompanying him to grab something to eat
"I'd really appreciate it." Kurumu answered back in appreciating the gesture as the two headed off to get lunch together
(2 days later, October 24th, 2016, Yokai Academy, 6:30 Pm)
It was around 2 days later as Adrian was waiting on his packages to arrive, and had decided that while he was waiting he might as well check to see how he was currently stacking up.
'Alright, let's see how I'm doing all things considered.' Adrian thought as he pulled up his stats in having wondered how he was fairing overall
Adrian Taylor

"Wow, I'm doing pretty well so far." Adrian said feeling that he was doing pretty good stat-wise
"Mental note, after I get rid of the fanboys? Also, how the hell am I Chaotic Evil?" Adrian wondered as to how he'd be considered Chaotic Evil
Considering how you spent an entire summer murdering people even if they were monsters, just for shits and giggles a good number of the time and the other half as test dummies for your spells. That pretty much sells it as you being Chaotic Evil.
"Fair point. You'd think with some of the nice stuff I've been doing for Moka and Kurumu that would at least level me out to be Neutral Evil or Chaotic Neutral." Adrian said in having thought that he would've been in either one of those alignments
You've done some nice things, sure. But you'll still have to do a good deal to shift your alignment. Oh let's not forget that you did incinerate Tsukune and his entire family...minus his cousin.
"Oh shit! I knew I was forgetting to do something! Mental note: get rid of Kyoko." Adrian cursed at the fact that he forgot about Tsukune's cousin and added killing her to his mental checklist of things to do
Good luck doing that on top of having to deal with all the people you've pissed off during your summertime rampage.
"Well, fuck. I should've figured that I'd be having people come for my neck sooner or later." Adrian figured at the fact that his summer of carnage would come back to bite him
Especially, since that spider woman you killed. Her daughter goes here, so be aware of that. Anyways, those fanboys are closing in so have fun with that.
'Fair point. Now I have that to worry about.' Adrian thought to himself while knowing that he'd have a lot on his plate in what was to come
So with nothing else better to do he pulled a lawn chair out of his inventory and some brownies that Kurumu had baked for him and decided to wait on his targets to get here for their inevitable demise at his hands. With it being around 12 minutes later before the Fan Club Coalition members soon arrived on the scene and began monologuing about how it wasn't fair that guys like him got their goddesses and he didn't even bust out a monster form while they got jack shit, and that now that they were off school grounds they could cut loose with their own monster forms.
With Adrian's anger briefly subsiding as amusement took hold over him as he watched them transform into their monster forms which were more hilarious than intimidating that he subsequently began to laugh his ass off at them.
"Oh come on! Even you're laughing at us!" Kozo exclaimed in frustration that even Adrian was laughing at their monster forms
"...I'm..I'm sorry, but your fucking umbrella, he's a basically a giraffe and he…" He's so fucking fat!" Adrian responded laughing himself silly at the stupidity of their monster forms
"Why the hell are we even talking to him?! After what he did to my darling Yukari he deserves to pay!" Kubasaki bellowed out in anger as he glared daggers at the pyromancer
"Oh yeah, now that you mentioned something about the piece of shit witch. How the hell do you even know about any of that?" Adrian asked as he could've swore he was in the clear when he murdered Yukari
"I saw what you did to her, when you blew my innocent goddess to pieces, you vile monster!" Kubasaki exclaimed with tears in his eyes in having to witness Adrian impale Yukari before subsequently blowing her to bits
"Alright, but how the fuck did you even see any of that to begin with? I could've sworn there was no one else there besides myself and those lizardmen." Adrian asked in being curious as to how the long-necked Yukari worshipper saw any of this go down
"I had planned on going there to stand up for my darling Yukari, and save her from those foul Lizardmen. Then you showed up and not only shredded my once chance for her too see me as her knight in shining armor! But then you showed up and burned it all away, and because of that I'll kill you!" Kubasaki explained in rage of having planned to swoop in and save Yukari as her savior, but thanks to Adrian that plan had gone up in flames both figuratively and literally
"Well, in my defense she was being a little shit. Said little shit who had pissed me off one too many times. However, that's besides the point. Because all 3 of you are dead men. Especially the fat bastard over there, as you especially are on my shit list." Adrian responded causing Busaburo to flinch as Adrian's now glowing absinthe green eyes bore holes into him
"W-Why me? What did I do?" Busaburo questioned why he was the main target of Adrian's ire
"Let's see you stole Kurumu's school clothes while she was in gym class and used them to jerk off and came on them and nearly on her. So because of shit like that and you guys harassing her and Moka all the time I gotta kill you. Especially you, you fat bastard." Adrian answered back before rushing after them
With Adrian using Bulk Up as he closed the distance against Kubasaki and struck with a hard jab to his center mass that very much winded him as he stumbled back a few steps, with Busaburo having run up to tackle and smother him in his gelatinous folds. Only to be impeded as both he and Kozo were sent flying via a Thunderwave that had them sprawling and tumbling across the ground while Adrian proceeded to wail on Kubasaki, the long-necked Yokai's stomach and chest being made into nothing more than a punching bag for Adrian.
Once Kozo had recovered he'd used his umbrella like form to send fierce winds to stagger and blow Adrian off his feet which initially started to work as he was being inched bit by bit, but was all for naught as the pyromancer had cast Misty Step to appear above both Kozo and Busaburo with a grin on his face. The pyromancer once he landed mere feet above them had cast Cinder Blast at point blank which landed as a critical hit on Kozo due to his large eye causing both of them to cough and fall to their knees from the superheated ash and cinder, the spell having been made all the worse for Kozo due to Ignite going off.
With Kozo falling to his knees as thanks to Ignite he felt small patches of flame eat away at his body like a swarm of angry hornets, as Busaburo had managed to ensnare Adrian in his folds and tried to suffocate and crush him in it. Yet this only proved to be Busaburo's undoing as Adrian merely smirked and cast Scorching Aura causing a haze-like aura of faint absinthe to form around Adrian's body that began to gradually burn at Busaburo's blubbery flesh, eventually forcing the portly Yokai to let go of Adrian.
Busaburo's flesh now had angry looking burns that blistered from the sheer heat, yet he wasn't given any form of reprieve as Adrian fired a trio of Psybeams that struck him dead center of his gut, the psionic energy rippling across his heavy-set form. All the while Kubasaki finally managed to sneak up on Adrian and wrap his long neck around him like a cobra, constricting the pyromancer intent on squeezing the very life out of him in retribution for his fallen goddess.
"Anything to say, before I crush you?!" Kubasaki questioned as Adrian looked unamused even as his health gradually whittled away
"Yeah, I really don't like you." Adrian said as he used one of his free hands to cast Flamethrower
Kubasaki then felt his smugness soon melt away and give unto agonizing pain as the stream of arcane fire rapidly crawled up his form and set him ablaze, forcing him to let go of Adrian and stumble back as he was blasted back by the pyromancer. With Adrian taking dark glee as he continued to burn and scorch the long-neck Yokai's flesh away, but upon hearing the rapidly approaching footsteps of Busaburo and decided that once he was so much as within arms reach that he'd cast Thunderwave on him.
Adrian continued to do this twice, leaving Busaburo on the ground and laying on his back where the pyromancer after locking onto him decided to test out a spell he'd never gotten around to, and as such had cast Immolation on Busaburo. This caused Busaburo within not even mere seconds to burst into deep Amazon green fire as he writhed and shook in pain, bellowing out for anyone to help him as his clothes rapidly burned away and his flesh charred and soon began to sear into ashes.
Kozo had tried in desperation to help his friend and use his power over wind to put out the flames, but to no avail as they proved too strong to do so and as such could only watch with his single eye as Busaburo's large body continued to burn away. Not even a full minute later as the spell did its work and Busaburo's scream of agony soon ended as Kozo had watched his fellow coalition member be turned into a large pile of ashes.
While a grief stricken Kozo stood grief-stricken and horrified that Busaburo was so quickly reduced to ashes that he had ignored Adrian using Misty Step and after that Bulk Up to deliver a powerful right hook to the side of Kozo's face that cracked at his umbrella-like form, before following it up with a roundhouse kick to his side. Which began Adrian pummeling Kozo who had tried to make another cyclone to blast Adrian away with was unable to do some as Adrian wasted no time in trying to beat him to death, Kozo's currently bloodied and battered form was only saved by Kubasaki having tried to use his neck like a whip and slam into Adrian.
The ploy had worked as Adrian had been so focused on beating Kozo like his own personal punching bag that he was sent tumbling across the ground, with Kubasaki having used every ounce of strength to send the pyromancer flying nearly 20 feet away. It only served to further annoy and anger Adrian that he was even dealing with such pest and as such had cast Evard's Black Tentacles to rise forth and crush them, with Kozo unfortunately being caught in its death grip while Kubasaki had narrowly got out of the way before the ebony tentacles could burst forth.
While Adrian watched in malevolent amusement and satisfaction as Kozo's body was being crushed and thrashed about like a ragdoll, Kubasaki on the other hand found himself helpless to try and get Kozo away from the tentacles. It wouldn't even be a solid minute before Adrian with a silent command had the tentacles constrict and crush a blood Kozo until his body was crushed and popped like a balloon filled with chunky and rotted watermelon and salsa, sending blood gore all over the place as Adrian dusted himself off.
"So? Still think your vengeance is worth it for a piece of shit witch loli? I mean even with you being a worthless lolicon, you could probably do infinitely better than that her." Adrian questioned as Kubasaki gritted his teeth and charged after him with everything him had to avenge his fallen comrades and his precious Yukari
"I'll kill you, you bastard!" Kubasaki bellowed at the top of his lungs
"I highly doubt it. Then again look at it this way, you finally get to be with your darling piece of shit, Yukari. Tell her I say hello, when your done frying." Adrian said with a yawn as he wasn't even arm's reach before he had cast Immolation on Kubasaki, stopping him in his tracks as he was burned alive
"Too bad I don't have some marshmallows and graham crackers on me. At least then I could use your worthless corpse to make some damn good s'mores." Adrian cursed at the fact that he didn't have said items to use while Kubasaki was eventually turned into a pile of ashes
With the Fan Club Coalition having mainly been terminated, the pyromancer decided to bring back his lawn chair after getting rid of the mess he'd made and had waited for his packages to get here, which had taken another 15 minutes to arrive as Adrian had thanked the bus driver for getting his packages to him in a timely manner. Once he'd done so he had put his packages into his inventory along with his lawn chair, had decided to getting around to checking some of the perks he had gained from his stats being at such a high level.

'Well, that's fucking cool.' Adrian thought to himself in being quite content with his newfound perks
(The next day later, 5:43 Pm, Adrian's Dorm-room. October 25th, 2016)
It was the next evening as Adrian was mainly just hanging out in his room not doing anything until he heard a knock at the door and upon opening it saw Kurumu at the door to deliver a box full of chocolate-chip cookies.
"Ah, thanks Kurumu." Adrian said happy that he got some of Kurumu's cookies
"It's no problem, Adrian. I just wanted to bring some by to you and see how your doing." Kurumu told him as she mainly brought them over as a gesture of good will
"Once again thank Kurumu. By the way you don't have to stand out there. Come on in." Adrian told her in not wanting the succubus to have to stand in the middle of the hallway
Taking the pyromancer on the invitation and walked into Adrian's room which was quite decorated in having posters of comic book characters from Lex Luthor, Venom, Doctor Doom, Bane, Darkseid and Sinestro, along with stacks of comics that ranged from Spawn to The Flash, to Spider Man and the Incredible Hulk. The room itself keeping to a gold and black color scheme in terms of furniture, with the comforter of his bed having been black with the Sinestro Corps insignia on it with a desk to one side of the room where his laptop was along with his closet for his school uniforms and pajamas and the otherside was were his television currently stood.
"Well, I know it ain't much. But here it is." Adrian spoke gesturing all across to his dorm room
"It's pretty interesting. I didn't know you liked comic books so much." Kurumu said in having not expected Adrian to be a comic book nerd
"Of course, I love comics. Especially the villains more so than anything else. Although, Iron Man and the Flash will always be among my favorites for comic book characters." Adrian replied in having found himself more of the time fascinated by villains than and how they functioned
"If you'd like you can take a look at some of my comics. I have all of Blackest Night and Brightest Day. The entire Superior Spider-Man series, which is one of my personal favorites. Oh, I also have the Sinestro Corps War and Rage of the Red Lanterns too." Adrian said in finding himself gushing over all of the comics he had in his possession
"No thank you for now. Although I may borrow a few for some ideas once we start going out." Kurumu told him as she wouldn't mind borrowing some of his comic books for inspiration for when they started going out with each other
"That sounds like a splendid idea, just let me know when you want to borrow some." Adrian replied as ideas of Kurumu cosplaying for him as Wonder Woman or Mrs. Marvel or better yet Power Girl came to mind
"Anyways, I have everything just about set up for our movie night in about a couple days or so. All I gotta do now is get some really good movies picked out." Adrian told her as he had everything mostly set up except for the movies they were gonna watch
"That's great. Anything good that you do have picked out, so far?" Kurumu asked as to if Adrian had anything good picked out so far in terms of movies
"Not yet, but then again I still got some stuff to dig through on my Netflix account for when we do it." Adrian answered in still having to sift through some movies on his Netflix account
"Would you like some help? I'm sure I could make a list of my own for our movie night." Kurumu told him with a small grin on her face
"That sounds like a pretty good idea. Send me some ideas on whatcha got and we can watch some of 'em together." Adrian replied as her grin only widened
'This is gonna be great. Step 1 towards making him my Destined One is a go.' Kurumu thought to herself as soon enough the pyromancer would soon be hers
"I'll have a list of movies we can watch made in no time. Once again, you make some awesome cookies Kurumu. Have you ever thought about opening up a bakery? Because you'd make a dynamite killing with all the stuff you'd make." Adrian said as he'd have to hand it to her, she made some really great cookies
"You really think so?" Kurumu asked as the pyromancer continued to eat more of her chocolate chip cookies
"Of course I do. Oh my god, are..are these made from scratch?" Adrian asked as he was on his 4th one
"Yes they are, I make them special just for you." Kurumu told him in having made all of her sweets for Adrian special for him
"Well, I can tell that they're extraordinary. Because I'd pay a fuck-ton of money for these." Adrian told her causing a noticeable reddening of Kurumu's cheeks from the compliment
(+5 Affection to Kurumu Kurono for thinking her sweets would be good enough to open up a bakery. 53/100)
Perk Unlocked: Milk-Tank Lover: Kurumu Kurono- (50)
In your case you've grown to realize that sometimes bigger is better. Affection and Obedience rises faster with women with large breasts.
'N'oice. This is gonna come in real handy when I eventually go over to DXD.' Adrian thought to himself in approval of the perk
"Thank you Adrian, it means a lot to hear you say that." Kurumu said happy that Adrian like her sweets that much
"Hey, I'd be a total fool to say otherwise." Adrian replied as his sweet tooth had him recognize that Kurumu's sweets that she'd bake him were second to none
"Still thanks for the cookies Kurumu, they're really great." Adrian told her
"No problem, after all I have to do something for my future boyfriend." Kurumu said with a wide grin at having Adrian as her destined one
"Like I said when we do go out, I'll be happy to take you anywhere you want...within reason." Adrian replied as he couldn't take her everywhere she wanted due to him not being completely loaded just yet
"Sounds like a plan! Yahahoo!" Kurumu cheered in excitement of their future dates together
"Well, it was nice having you over. Feel free to come by anytime you want." Adrian told her as he went over and opened the door for Kurumu to leave
"I will and thanks for letting me come in." Kurumu spoke in being super cheery at the fact that Adrian becoming her boyfriend was close at hand
"Well, combine my imminent movie night with Kurumu and my having to work on Engineer for all the stuff I wanna build. I sure got my work cut out for me." Adrian said to himself as he closed the door and knew full well he was gonna have his work cut out for him
'But until such a time, I'm just gonna take it easy for a bit. Especially now that those pesky fanboys are out of my hair.' Adrian thought to himself as he was gonna enjoy this brief bit of time to himself and take it easy for the most part
With the annoyance of the Fanboys, taking care of Adrian and company can take things a bit easier, but how will things turn out for the pyromancer as things between him and Kurumu begin to wind up into something more. Find out how all of it will come to pass in the new chapters of A Gamer among Monsters.
Now then let's get onto some of the reviews from the last chapter now shall we.
Soulbow109: I'm saving and trying to figure out a way in which Adrian can use the Meteor Swarm spell considering that AOE spells like that are something that while cool you also have to be careful with in terms of targeting. Glad you like how I'm developing Outer Moka vs her canon self, since unlike in canon I actually want for her to have depth beyond being the token main love interest. As for fem Voldemort I do have a plan on how to work that out that's still rough on how to go about it. Jack is gonna be a lot of fun to write in her interactions with Adrain. Also, its gonna be interesting with Semiraimis considering that Adrian doesn't fuck around with people trying to make him their underling. Don't worry about Olga as I do plan on having her appear somewhere either during the Harry Potter arc or afterwards.
Austin: The idea for the Tokusatsu thing sounds pretty dope tbh. I'd just have to figure out how to go about it in full detail since I do like to plan out and have a broad scale idea of how events go in the stories. Yeah and also the thing of non-magical people vs magical people are things that Voldemort seemed to forget considering that his fuckups could've resulted in the British parliament and Queen herself saying fuck it y'all are getting this imperial smoke. On top of his pulling the whole pureblood supremacy on magical creatues he's trying to have help him really shows on why in the long-term his plans of being a dark lord went up in flames. Also, Adrian will arrive in the Harry Potter universe around the 4th year of when things pop off.
mckenjon: I'll look into those perks, as they do sound quite interesting in how Adrian would utilize his magic more effectively.
Lq840i (Chapters 8-9): Speaking of him doing things like neon/electricity. I do eventually plan on Adrian messing with his fire magic to eventual create lightning and unlock a storm magic class, considering that it is possible for him to mess with pyromancy so mess that it unlocks lightning. Also I get what your talking about and that sounds something that would definitely happen for Adrian when he really become strong in his own right. As for Time magic I'm very iffy on it as messing with time and doing time travel shenanigans is something I'm always weary of doing as if not handled correctly is just asking for all sorts of plotholes to open up. Also, the thing is that Adrian once he does get in power could and probably would bring about a sort of Industrial Revolution to magical Britain, and in essence have a place for Muggles to work within his empire as engineers. Considering that he would force them to recognize that muggle tech can do extreme wonders for advancing and making things easier for all wizards. Also, I do have something planned for getting Harry out of the picture that will involve the Dursleys as the scapegoat for his smear campaign against Dumbledore.
Dominus1389: Thank you for reminding about Andromeda, as I honestly forgot about her to be completely honest.
AvidReader2425: I'm happy that you've been enjoying the story so far and hope you will continue to do so with future chapters.
TheCuriousGuest: I understand about real life intefering so your all good man. Yeah here's the thing about Adrian getting pissed at someone, he doesn't care about torturing you or making you suffer. Instead its very much like an inferno in the sense of I want you to die until there's nothing left. But good idea on him to further endeavor towards learning Necromancy. Like I said before Yukari's death would yield a positive towards Outer Moka's character development in not having her be so utterly gullible and having her be more cautious and aware of things around her. Also, White Mage is gonna come in real handy considering that it'll definitely improve his survivability in combat and a consistent means of regaining health. Furthermore the idea of Cyborg wizards is for the fact that to Adrian they don't have to like what he does to them in making them his own Terminators besides what better test subjects than people he captures from Dumbledore's group and squibs and other Azkaban prisoners as well. As for Horcruxes while it is useful I do think it would prove mentally detrimental towards Adrian considering that even with Gamer's Mind splitting your soul could cause him to slowly but surely go insane if he's reckless with it.
TheOnlyKing: You make a very compelling point. As honestly I was just wondering how I was gonna off Dumbledore all together without him looking like a martyr in the process, but with Adrian smear campaign going on and once he gets rid of Dumbledore's main support from the Light families and some Neutral ones. Then when there's no lifelines left is when Adrian can really go in for the kill. Since unlike Voldemort, Adrian would no how to hit Dumbledore where it actually hurts.
Mckenray: It goes as you stated. Its more where when you reach 100% of a reistance is where you ignore that much percentage of damage and each percent after that is where you regen a percent of damage dealt by it. Like if he had 158% Fire resistance then he would ignore that much damage dealt and regen 58% of that fire damage he took back as health if that makes sense.
That takes care of that as I hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter and all that went along with it. But without further delay let's get down to it.
First up we've got Adrian just wailing on the Fan Club Coalition which I hoped y'all liked as I just generally felt it'd be funny to do so.
Coming up after it we've got Adrian choppin' it up with Kurumu for a bit as well as hitting home how much of a creeper the Fan Club Coalition can be that we don't really get to see in canon.
Following that we've got Adrian killing the Fan Club Coalition off, as well as a warning from the game that his antics during his summer rampage are gonna have a good deal of consequences for him down the line.
Lastly, we've got Adrian having a chill moment with Kurumu and all that jazz which I thought would be nice to do.
All that being said please favorite, follow, review and share this story out as much as possible. And flames for the most part will be ignored because at the point you're mainly wasting mine and everyone's time. Other than that constructive criticism and ideas on how to improve things are welcome.
But with all that being said this is Pravus666 signing out until next time. The next chapter will be introducing Mizore of all things into the story, so stay tuned for that.
