Yo!
Alright...to those of you that are new here, I am MostPalone1 and I hope you are having a great day!
And to the readers who already read some of my previous/ongoing work, I hope you are having a great day as well! Also you might be wondering why I just started a new story? Well...the answer to that is simple. I just had this batshit crazy idea in my head and couldn't stop thinking about it
I've seen a lot of gamer stories in this site and I wanted to give it a try myself. But I wanted to make it unique and different from other gamer stories and put my own twist to it. At the end, this was the result of my disastrous work.
I want to give a special thanks to TroxX101. TroxX101 really helped me organize some ideas that I had jumbled in my mind for this story so shout out them!
I have nothing else to yap about. Please read at your own risk. (And I apologize beforehand if my work is shit)
I do not own Naruto, High Schoold DxD, and My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected. They are the properties of Masashi Kishimoto, Ichiei Ishibumi, and Wataru Watari respectively. The only thing I own here is the plot.
In one specific universe…
Pain. Unimaginable pain. That is what Issei Hyoudou, a pawn of the High Class Devil Rias Gremory, currently felt as he rolled down the rooftop of Kuoh Academy. Despite having the determination to keep going, his present physical capabilities were unable to match his mental strength. His Sacred Gear was one of the 13 Longinus, the infamous Red Dragon Emperor's Boosted Gear. Even with such a powerful tool, the teen was barely able to move his body while being filled with painful sensations all over his body.
Finally, his rolling came to a stop due to his own efforts. Pain was still running up and down through his limbs. However, he didn't let that stop him. His friends and fellow peerage members were in trouble. And he cannot go down in any circumstances or he will lose his President's beautiful smile. He turned his head slightly to the right, and let his eyes fall on the growing despair on his President's face, who also had some visible injuries around her body. It was clear that she was exhausted. Still, she sent him worrying gazes as she was being healed. Seeing such an expression on the face of Rias fueled him once more and made him able to get up and go after their current enemy, Riser Phenex.
"I…I WON'T GIVE UP!" screamed the teen while he slowly got up. He wobbled but he didn't care as he moved forward. He knew he was the last combatant remaining within his team before Rias was left all alone. That would be the end of their current Rating Game. Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno were all eliminated prior to his arrival at the rooftop.
Rias, in response, was shocked at how he seemed to keep going even at his current condition. She wasn't the only one as the worried face of Asia Argento, the bishop of Rias Gremory's peerage, was noticed by the teen as she healed their master. Although the former Italian nun was still active in the game, she wasn't able to help out in the fight other than using her healing Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing. The blonde male on the rooftop, who was a High-Class devil by the name of Riser Phenex, grinned with malice filled in his face. The devil only smirked and left the side of his Queen, Yubelluna, before approaching the limping teen, ready to pummel him once more.
Rias and Asia only looked in horror as Issei threw a sloppy right-handed hook. Riser let out a laugh in a tone of mockery as he dodged the attack with ease. Then the devil bent his knee and drove it straight into Issei's open midsection. While doing that, he also had a firm grip on the weak teen's wrist. The reincarnated teen was too tired from this day's battle and was unable to throw up a defense before the hit from Riser connected.
"ARGHHH!" shouted the brown-haired Second-Year student as he dropped to his knees and held his injured body area.
"ISSEI!"
"Issei-san!"
Both the red and blonde haired devils screamed as they watched him take a hit once more. Riser continued his mocking laughter and held Issei's wrist in a vice grip.
"I…won't stop until…UNTIL I SEE PRESIDENT SMILING AGAIN!" The teen yelled in Riser's face as he suddenly got a rush of adrenaline. Issei barely stood up to face Riser only to get hit in the midsection once more, causing him to drop down onto his knees again. The blonde devil ceased his laughter and glared down at the defiant teen.
"Issei…" tears were falling out of the High-Class Devil's eyes, devastated to see her pawn being beaten in such a way. Internally, she berated herself as she was still being healed by her Bishop.
"I-" Issei couldn't finish as his nose was met with Riser's knee. The teen kept his head down and fought through the pain to his best ability. While doing that, he noticed the blood dropping down onto the roofing from the middle of his face. Only a few seconds later, the teen felt a pull in his hair as Riser grabbed it to bring his head up. Issei finally looked up at Riser, fighting through the pain and showing him a defiant glare in return. Riser's uncaring face soon scrunched up as he snarled at the weakened fighter.
"You imbecile! How dare you make a mockery of Riser!?" the devil growled in anger. Fire suddenly enveloped the angry devil's right hand.
"Riser! Stop it! LET HIM GO!" Rias demanded as tears kept flowing from her eyes. Asia didn't speak as she had tears coming out of her eyes but she also shared the same sentiment as her Master. Riser merely glanced back at Rias for a moment only to show her a menacing grin with a glint in his eyes. The fire that had enveloped his hand burned with even more ferocity after he made eye contact with Rias. He turned his head around to smirk at Issei's form, who still kept his glare. Riser's smirk was instantly erased from his face as he scowled intensely at the teen while ignoring the nearing footsteps from his side.
"Accidents always happen in Rating Games, don't they? Unfortunately, they sometimes lead to permanent injuries of the players. Riser will now put you in your place, you worthless chump!" The blonde devil grinned.
He moved his right hand forward to punch the teen and succeeded. His eyes were widened as his fist exited out of the middle of Issei's back. He in no way was targeting the Pawn's death but rather a massive injury. The blonde devil himself was shocked since he didn't put enough power in his attack to actually land the killing blow on the teen. However, he had no time to think further as he sensed an attack approaching his way. Riser immediately jumped away while removing his hand from Issei's chest hole. The reason he moved away from his spot was due to the magic attack of a red hue that zoomed in on the same spot at the same time. The attacker who threw the magic attack, Rias, only looked in horror as her attack hit Issei instead of her intended target. After the attack's release of smoke finally disappeared, everyone noticed that Issei's battered and beaten body seemed to have a huge hole on his chest, the hole's surface having been cauterized already. She froze in her spot, standing, and could only look blankly at her pawn's unmoving form.
"ISSEI-SAN!" Asia ran past the shocked Rias and knelt down beside Issei, applying the power of her Sacred Gear nonstop. The redheaded King watched as Issei's body still hadn't disappeared from his current position despite being taken down by Riser. That only left one highly-likely possibility and in no way did Rias want to believe that.
"PLEASE! Wake up! ISSEI-SAN!" cried the blonde healer as she continuously used her Sacred Gear but to no avail. Rias fell down to her knees this time as she blankly looked down at the roofing, despair filling her mind once her eyes spotted the 8 chess pieces that were spat out of Issei.
"Issei…no, that can't be! What…have I done…?" whispered the traumatized devil as she blankly stared at Asia crying over Issei's corpse, believing her attack had caused the fatal injury on her beloved servant.
"Shit! I didn't mean to…Fuck! What if I can't marry Rias now!?" Riser yelled in frustration. Yubelluna tried to comfort her King only to get pushed away. Ravel Phenex, the younger sister of Riser, only watched the two Gremory members grief over their fallen comrade uncomfortably. With her mind made up, the young devil took a few steps towards the direction of her brother's opponents with a bottle of Phoenix Tears in her hand. However, she was stopped due to some unforeseen circumstances.
Suddenly, two separate things happened that caught the players of the Rating Game off guard. Another presence, much more powerful than the ones already at the rooftop, made its appearance. It belonged to a silver-haired woman who also wore a maid outfit. Grayfia Lucifuge viciously glared at Riser, making him step back in fear, before walking towards the distraught Rias. As soon as she took a couple of steps towards the unresponsive girl, a bizarre phenomenon took place. A huge beam of bright light shot down from the sky and enveloped the now corpse of Issei Hyodou. Fortunately, Asia managed to step back right before she was trapped in that beam. Once a few seconds passed, everyone looked in surprise at the empty spot, where Issei had been.
While the group of devils were confused about what just took place, they failed to notice the teen's right hand slowly creeping towards the right, where another hand was trying to reach towards his hand again.
Meanwhile in another universe…
"Senpai! Don't get tired yet! I still have more things to buy!" a voice belonging to a teenage girl spoke out. In response to her words, a groan of annoyance could be heard from behind the girl.
Hachiman Hikigaya, a Second-Year student at Sobu High School in Chiba, was carrying three bags filled with groceries and make-up materials. He looked forward and squinted his eyes at the sly girl in front of him. Iroha Isshiki, a First-Year student at Sobu and the current Student Council President, only grinned mischievously. She then turned around and began walking once more, making the older teen follow her. It was already getting dark in the town. Hachiman lamented at the fact that he was losing his precious time to spend due to his junior's antics.
"Isshiki…how much more stuff do you need? How much longer would it take" Hachiman spoke in a dry and exhausted tone. Isshiki slowed down and turned around as her face perked up.
"Well…a girl needs her time when she is buying stuff. And here is senpai, already trying to get rid of me…" Isshiki pouted. Hachiman's face had no reaction to her tactics whatsoever as he was already used to her foxy behavior.
"This service falls outside of the official hours of the Service Club. At the moment, you're just making me do grunt work and putting more stress on my already poor body," complained the dark-haired teenager once more. Isshiki only giggled after hearing out her senpai.
"But you said you will take responsibility, right?" Isshiki grinned. Hachiman sighed as he chose to stop arguing with the little devil in front of him. As much as she annoyed him, Isshiki did tug on his 'Onii-chan' instincts from time to time. Whenever she asked for help while making her eyes big and her posture vulnerable, his mind always referred back to his own younger sister, Komachi.
"If you want to, you can give me the stuff and go, senpai. Or else I might have the police called on me for having a suspicious individual following me," Isshiki spoke once more, a sly smile present on her face.
"It's already getting dark out here and you being alone at this time is kind of dangerous, don't you think?" questioned Hachiman as he raised an eyebrow. Isshiki only let out a giggle before answering him.
"Oh? Are you keeping up with me since you are interested in me and want to ask me out? I am sorry but I have to decline. I don't want a partner who looks like he can kill a lifeboat of children with merely one gaze," responded the First Year student. Hachiman let out a sigh since he literally gave Isshiki that opportunity on a platter after asking for her own well being. Despite not really caring about things like this, sometimes hearing stuff about his appearance did sting. The current moment was one of those rare moments. He only looked at the ground and kept his face down in pity, which was noticed by his junior.
"Senpai-" before Isshiki could finish her sentence, the sound of a notification interrupted her. She was surprised since she didn't recognize the tone. Hachiman sighed and used his empty hand to take out his phone, seeing who had texted him. After reading through the message, he only let out a sigh and looked at Isshiki, who expectantly stared at him.
"You wanted to say something, right?" questioned Hachiman. The teenager nodded firmly as she waited for her senpai to answer.
"Who just sent you a message? It's impossible for senpai to have any contacts on his phone besides his sister and his parents," Hachiman scowled once he heard the girl finish her words.
"It was Yuigahama, actually," Isshiki wasn't surprised that Yuigahama and Hachiman had each others' contact but the fact that she texted Hachiman at night.
"Yuigahama-senpai?" Isshiki asked while tilting her head in Hachiman's direction.
"She wants me to join her and Yukinoshita for lunch tomorrow. Apparently, the Service Club has some kind of get together for some reason…" shared the older teen. Isshiki hummed in deep thought before letting out a disappointed sigh.
"And here I thought I could put you to more work tomorrow…" Isshiki mumbled but Hachiman heard her words clearly.
"Oi! What do you think I am? Your slave?" Hachiman bantered. Isshiki slyly smiled once more before replying.
"My oh my. Does senpai wish to be my slave so he could get close to me and think he can ask me out eventually? I am sorry but I have to stop you here. I am not looking for a boyfriend that has masochistic instincts and creepy eyes along with any weird fetishes," the Student Council President finished her reply with a sly smile. Hachiman groaned as he unknowingly gave her another chance to put a hit on him once more.
While the two teens were having their harmless banter, their attention was suddenly taken away. This happened due to the sound of screeching a bit ahead of them. The sound was only getting louder and louder by the second to the two Sobu High students. It was clear to them why that was the case once they looked up. A luxurious and black limousine, not too far from where Hachiman and Ishhiki stood, was struggling on the road. Thankfully for other drivers, it was the only vehicle on the road at the moment. The limousine's driver seemed to have lost control of the vehicle. And that same vehicle was currently skidding on the road and was nearing their position.
Isshiki expectedly didn't recognize the vehicle but the same couldn't be said for Hachiman. The teen stood wide eyed as the familiar vehicle was getting closer and closer to him. Due to the instinctive terror taking over his body from previous experience, Hachiman was unable to move away from the car. The limo happened to face their direction now after another screeching noise made by the tires. As the car reached near their position, Hachiman realized that he would be fine from where he stood. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the same for his junior.
Isshiki, who was standing a bit away from him, was also caught off guard by the sudden development and realized that she wouldn't have enough time to move away. Hachiman compared the First-Year student's current situation to that of a deer that was caught in the headlights, figuratively and literally. Gritting his teeth, Hachiman roughly dropped whatever groceries and whatnot he was carrying and ran towards the younger girl. He stretched his arms out and pushed his fellow Sobu High student away from the impending danger. As soon as Isshiki was pushed out of the way, the last thing Hachiman noticed was the look of terror Isshiki had in her eyes before his world spun around.
Hachiman felt the world surrounding him change for an instant before he heavily landed back on a rough surface. The first few seconds after his landing, the teen only felt lightheaded. Right after those seconds passed, he felt as if his entire body was plunged into by an endless amount of needles. That was the best way the teen could describe his unbearable pain. The magnitude of the suffering he currently felt was so much that he couldn't even put in the effort to scream. He then felt something trickling into his slightly opened mouth, which tasted metallic. Despite the pain, Hachiman knew that it was probably his time to go.
"SENPAI!" he heard a scream around him. His vision was getting blurry as the seconds went by. He then heard some other voices murmuring around him but couldn't deduct exactly what they were saying.
"YUKINOSHITA-SENPAI! PLEASE CALL THE AMBULANCE!" the same voice screamed once more. However, his hearing was becoming worse and worse by the moment. A tear escaped from the teen's eye as the face of his loving sister flashed in front of him.
'Forgive me, Komachi…" was the last thought in Hachiman Hikigaya's mind before he passed away. Right before he closed his eyes for the final time, his left hand reached out to this cloud of light that appeared to the left side of his body. Unbeknownst to the panicking crowd surrounding his fresh corpse, another hand was seemingly reaching out to him from this invisible cloud of light towards Hachiman's.
Unknown Location…
"Oww…"
A painful groan was heard from two boys sprawled out onto the ground, unmoving. Both of them were young children. Their appearance at the moment appeared disheveled due to the dirtied and bloodied clothes they both wore. One of them slightly parted their eyelids. He closed them shut instantly due to the glare of the sun whose rays seemed to scorch his face. However, he didn't let it stop him from doing the same once more. Slowly opening them, the first thing he noticed was the other boy, who seemed to be no older than 10, sprawled out beside him. Despite his tendencies to keep to himself, he immediately picked himself up from the ground to address the other body laying out next to him. Only then did he notice the bodies surrounding the two.
A hitch appeared within his throat and his eyes widened to a certain degree. His body froze and ceased any actions at his current sitting position. Slowly, events of the last few minutes began playing over and over again in his mind. He felt the sensation of confusion and terror at his current dilemma. He was supposed to be dead and even accepted that fact right before his death, although he didn't have much time for that right before kicking the bucket. His eyes glanced over the bodies surrounding him and the boy right next to him once more. Thankfully, the boy's chest was rising up and down, indicating he was still alive. However, the same couldn't be said for the bodies surrounding him and the boy that was still out cold near him. The clearing he was within currently had its ground painted red and he had a feeling that it wasn't artificial paint.
The pale and cut up bodies allowed him to come to that conclusion. Once the realization hit him, he turned around and gagged while making sure his face faced the ground. Unfortunately, nothing came out as he tried to throw up. He didn't know what to think or feel. Why was he here, surrounded by corpses and a kid that was knocked out? Things didn't make sense. Breathing became harder for him as seconds passed by. Nothing made sense. He was supposed to be dead. So why was he alive and in a place he had no business being in?
"You alright?" a voice, which belonged to a kid, groggily asked him while putting his hand on his shoulder.
The panicking boy's surprise at being addressed out of nowhere in his moment made him jump back as he turned around. Somehow, he had instinctively taken out a blade from the pouch attached to his left thigh. Once he realized what he had done, he looked at his own hand holding the knife in confusion. The kid, who had just called out to him, seemingly did the same as an act of self defense and even he was confused at his own actions just like him. Calming his breathing, the teen who brought out the knife first put it away and the kid in front of him did the same while wearing his look of bafflement. The black-haired teen noticed weird gills from the kid's exposed shoulders.
"Wait, where am I? And why the hell do I feel like I am shorter than I'm supposed to be?" he stated in a confused tone. And then he seemed to remember something and it immediately made him fall to his knees while wearing a distraught expression.
"No! What…happened…?" the brown haired child murmured. The kid who was first to wake up looked at him with a frown. Despite being confused as well, he was able to notice that he also felt shorter than he was used to.

Welcome!
Congratulations on being chosen a Player! Or Players, as the update to this glitch has resulted in such an odd phenomenon…
Anyways…would the players like some background information?
YES/NO
(Mental commands are acceptable for a choice to be chosen as well as vocal commands.)
"KAI!"
"Kai!"
Two different voices called out at the same time. The two children looked at each other and realized that instinctively, they had uttered the same word. While doing that, they also held their hands in some type of specific manner. They ceased their actions and looked in front of them once more.
Both of the kids were gaping at what seemed to be a display of a purple screen in front of them, a screen for each of them while forgetting the odd thing both of them shouted at the same time earlier. Due to noticing each other's sudden reaction, they both looked at each other.
"Wait, did you die?" the black haired kid didn't say anything as his eyes were still focused on the screen in front of him. However, he did give him a stiff nod as a form of an answer. The other kid's sudden question allowed him to make a guess as to what actually was happening to him.
"Did we reincarnate like in those light novels?" the black-haired kid spoke out loudly. The other kid's eyes widened at the sensible answer. His head then faced the ground in seemingly disappointment and shame.
"T-That means that Prez…" he never finished his words as his eyes watered up and a drop of tear fell to the ground. The brown haired boy tried his best to keep his eyes shut but his actions were noticed by the other black haired child, who shot him a look of pity. Still, despite having a really good guess of what in the world just happened to him and the kid next to him apparently, he was still surprised about one thing. He noticed that there was no reaction from his companion due to the dead bodies around them. Keeping that observation in his mind for later
"Let's…just…see this through…" he finally said. The heartbroken kid next to him wiped out the tears that gathered in his eyes and nodded in agreement. With a determined look, both of the children had only one thing in their mind.
'Yes/Yes!' the words in the purple screen in front of them disappeared and were replaced by another set of words.
Congratulations on having become Players once more! After both of your deaths, the System has chosen two players for this round. And both of you have been revived in the world of Ninjas at the Elemental Nations.
(Note: The norm is only having one player.)
The two children never changed their focused expressions as they both read through the text. The word 'Ninjas' was caught by both as they read through it. The black haired child thought for a few moments before something else made sense to him. The brown haired child also did the same and reached the same conclusion as his companion next to him. He then turned to the other kid and began speaking.
"That weird thing we did. Both with the knife and that shout. Is it because we are already ninjas?" he received a nod and an impressed look at his deduction. He was proud to be useful here but his mind went back to the painful moments that he suffered through not so long ago, bringing down his mood once more. Not because of the physical pain he endured but the emotional pain of failing his master and dying.
Correct! You two are currently inhibiting the bodies of your counterparts of the Elemental Nations at the moment. Both of them are conveniently ninjas in this world already. Would you like a memory refresher of the life your counterparts have led up until now?
YES/NO
Both of them instantly accepted the offer. Once they did, they both held their heads in pain. Memories of events they had no connection to previously invaded their minds. After a minute, the headaches stopped. They both took a look at each other with wide eyes. They now had a clear idea of how this crazy world worked and the experiences the bodies they are currently inhibiting had gone through. Their body and mind was filled with knowledge and skills they had no clue about previously. They also received their answer as to why they were acting weird at moments before the memory refresher did its magic. It was as if they had watched an in-depth summary of a movie consisting of their lives' story in a moment. This in turn allowed them to easily recognize each other despite not introducing themselves beforehand.
"H-Hachiman?" The brown-haired boy slowly whispered. Hachiman, the black-haired boy, was surprised and wasn't at the same time, which was an unusual and awkward feeling for him.
"Issei…" Hachiman replied with a low voice, to which the brown-haired boy smiled and nodded.
Both of them knew each other since they were on the same team. They weren't high-ranked or anything but they got the grunt work done for their village. Especially in the crucial time of war right now.
Would you like to view your profile?
YES/NO
They both said yes and each of their screens changed to view their profile as of this moment.

Looking through his profile sheet, Issei was intrigued with some of the details shown there. Especially the question marks in the 'AFFILIATION' tab and the 'Carrier Duo' title he had. After a moment, Issei clicked on the clickable tab of 'ABILITIES', curious as to what skills his counterpart from this universe had.

While the two newly reincarnated vessels took a look at each others' skills, one of them managed to use their OBSERVE skill to test this whole thing. Due to Issei's lack of self-awareness and the back of his mind being filled with guilt and shame at his most recent failure, he was not able to notice his companion's actions. Hachiman was able to take a look at Issei's stats and realized that the guy was most likely stronger than him. However, sorting through his memories of his counterpart of this Ninja World and his own intelligence, he was able to deduce that he was probably suited best for assassination missions. This thought made his body go through a shiver but somehow, this entire thing felt normal to him once more.
All of the skills shown in the 'ABILITIES' tab can be improved through use in real-life battle.
"I guess we are partners and a duo team…" Issei spoke out to Hachiman before continuing once more.
"I feel as if my entire mind was forcibly filled up with the script of a movie based on some ninja's life summary…" the brown-haired ninja began. Hachiman was brought out of his musing and took a look at Issei, whose face seemed tired. He stayed quiet for a moment before finally nodding, catching the other boy's attention.
"I can't tell if I am Hachiman Hikigaya or Hachiman Shibuya…None of this makes sense," after he voiced his thoughts, the two fell into a peaceful silence for a moment. This was only broken when Issei let out a sigh and began speaking once more.
It was still unbelievable and believable to him at the same time. The fact that he had a counterpart in this ninja world and he died just to reincarnate into this counterpart. After seeing his counterpart's memories, the teen had a lot in his mind. Similarly to Hachiman, Issei also had similar thoughts running around within his head. Plus with this entirely unexpected and new situation, his guilt of failing his President didn't leave his heart. He was still downtrodden about this fact. He then shook his head to clear up the negative thoughts. He was given another chance in this new and interesting world. He would make sure to put this second chance into good use and get stronger faster so he could protect his friends and family. Especially in the times of the Third Shinobi World War.
"These dead bodies around me…they terrify me but I feel like I am used to it already at the same time…" Hachiman shared. Issei gave him a look with a grim expression and nodded slowly.
"Right. Although I was involved in the supernatural in my life, the bodies, their state, the stench, and their identities…all of these things. I…don't know how I am supposed to feel," Hachiman only squinted his eyes at his companion once he uttered the word 'supernatural'. Issei noticed this and sighed before speaking once more.
"I'll…tell you about it later," Hachiman only nodded in acceptance and sighed before looking around the two once more.
"Let's start heading back. We don't know when anyone might be running into this clearing and there's a huge chance they aren't going to be an ally if they do come here," the black-haired teen pointed out.
"Right. "Let's just…collect the bodies and head back to the village and tell the Mizukage about this mission's failure. I…don't think we are gonna win this war. Especially with the number of the Legendary Swordsmen we lost against that one Konoha shinobi…" Hachiman nodded once more.
Without saying much else, the two Genin took out two scrolls to gather the remains of their partners. They sealed their corpses up with ease and flawlessly began travelling through the forest back home.
So...that was the first chapter.
Issei got turned into a donut by Raiser and was ISSEIkaid into the Naruto world. Hachiman on the other hand could give his thanks to the Yukinoshita family for his situation.
In a lot of Gamer stories (at least from the ones I've read), there is only one character with the Gamer ability (there is one exception I could think of). But two main characters who have Gamer abilities? I don't think I've seen that yet. Plus in the world of Naruto, Issei makes it there instead of the other way around like the usual. This is pretty rare too. All in all, I just wanted to put a different twist to it.
I posted the story in this section since it is in the world of Naruto and High School DxD section since that's how I can gain traction for my story.
I made both of them from the Hidden Mist Village and put them in a timeline different than the start of Naruto timeline so I can challenge myself and do a little world-building. Plus, they were born into their already existing Ninja counterparts so they have an idea of how the world works.
I tried my best with the Gamer aspects in the story but I have a feeling that it wasn't any good.
Please don't hold back while critiquing my work in the reviews. That is the only I can further improve my story. However, please don't flame me TOO much and have mercy on my soul (T T)
Realistically speaking, the updates to this is most likely going to be slow since this is a side project for me. Plus fleshing out the world building and gaming interface is also going to require a lot of time. But worry not. I will make updates to this story!
That was all for now. Have a good one!
