Hey guys Kurama here with the rewrite 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!
-Void-
"Welp, now I can confidently say that I'm bored." I deadpan, staring off at the abyss for no particular reason.
How I got here is a bit foggy because the last thing I remember is going to sleep and then waking up in this place.
I just hope I won't stay here for too long.
Congratulations!
You're a Gamer!
Skills gained.
Gamer's Mind (Passive)
Description: This skill protects against some of the most powerful mental attacks and calms the user in heated situations. It allows the user to think more logically than emotionally, but it still requires basic needs like sleeping or eating.
Gamer's Body (Passive)
Description: This skill allows you to play your life like a video game, though it's my note that getting sick, bleeding, having ailment statuses, and getting knocked out will now be applied to your life, and if your HP reaches 0, you die.

Well, if you insist.

But seriously this new life is gonna be so easy it's not even funny.
What's next?
Selecting your Race
Alright, lay it on me.
Human
Description: Largely residing in the human world, humans are the most common species with the largest population in the series. After the Great War had exhausted all three Factions, the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils all had to rely on humans to continue their generation.
Fallen Angel
Description: Fallen Angels are Angels that have fallen from the grace of God, due to having "impure thoughts" that divert them from the teachings of God in the Bible. The leaders of Grigori were tempted by human women and had fallen after having sex with them.
Devil
Description: Devils are beings that originated from the Underworld created by the Original Lucifer using the body of his wife Lilith to create a military force to destroy God and his Angels, as well as to realize his ambition for world domination which consists of the High-Class Devil nobles of the 72 Pillars and Extra Demons and the countless armies of Middle and Low-Class Devil soldiers under them. The total life span of a Devil is approximately 10,000 years. The Devils were originally ruled by the Four Great Satans before they died in the Great War. Following the end of the Great War, the descendants of the original Satans apart from Rizevim wanted to continue the Great War but were faced with opposition by other Devils, most prominently the Bael clan, who assumed authority after the death of their leaders. This started a civil war between the Devils with the descendants of the original Satans losing the war and a new government was formed among the Devils. The new government then appoints four new Satans through strength and accomplishment in the civil war.
Hybrid
Description: You are a mix of the two races that have been showcased here.
Your destiny is your own, Gamer.
Youkai
Description: Youkai are beings originating from Asia, Japan, and China, considered to be demons and monsters as mentioned in multiple legends.
Vampire
Description: Vampires are residents of darkness that have existed since ancient times. They have similar rankings and weaknesses to those of High-Class Devils. However, Devils are residents of the Underworld, while Vampires are beings that live in the darkness of the human world with their center of population being located in Romania.
Angels
Description: Originating from Heaven, the Angels are powerful beings who serve the Biblical God, and have the powers to inflict pain upon Devils/demons and by extension the Fallen Angels, due to their light-based powers. After the death of the God of the Bible in the Great War of the Three Factions, the Angels were incapable of increasing their numbers normally until the creation of the Brave Saint system which allows humans to be reincarnated into Angels.
Wait a second...
Am I going to high school DxD?
I take everything I said back!
That's the 3rd hardest after DBZ and Tensura in that specific order.
I'm gonna get smoked by mister virgin boob toucher Issei Hyoudou and his groupies!
Calm down... there's a way of salvaging the situation.
With the potential of a Dragon as well as staying human to obtain a Sacred Gear, my survival should be ensured.
Plus, if I ever encounter a Devil I'll just blast them with Light Spears.
With that choice being made, I select [Hybrid, picking up Dragon and Human as another screen pops up in front of me.
Select your element.
[Pyromancy] [Electromancy] [Hydromancy] [Aeromancy] [Geomancy] [Cryomancy] [Necromancy] [Umbramancy] [Healing]
I'm gonna with [Necromancy] simply because Fire magic is everyone's starting magic and I like it when there's a bit of variety put into the world.
That's how we're able to grow in the first place.
Once again a screen appears in front of me as I open it.
Skill gained
Necromancy LVL: 1/100
Description: The art of creating undead beings from the corpses of other creatures and using them as you please.
Cost: Varies
Available undead:- Zombie, Skeleton
Spells.
[Store Undead]
Description: The paired skill of the [Necromancy] skill. The number of undead that can be stored depends on Intelligence and Necromancy skill level.
No of undead stored: 0/30
So this skill comes in pairs? It does make sense so I won't question it.
Though I wonder if I'll be able to do that with shadows like how Sung Jin Woo does it in the Manhwa 'cause if I can then I'm gonna be even more badass than I am now.
It'll be so fucking cool to say Arise and have an army of shadows and zombies attack my enemies for me instead of me having to do all the work.
But those are just ideas that may or may not happen.
Not for now at least.
Now then let's see what's next on the list.
Name: Yūrei Tamasaki
Age: 17
Level: 1 (0/100)
Race: Human/Dragon
HP: 1000/1000 [100 per minute]
MP: 1000/1000 [100 per minute]
SP: 1000/100 [100 per minute]
STR: 10
AGI: 10
PER: 10
STA: 10
INT: 10
Stat Points: 0
Money: 0$
Okay, but what are these Stats?
Do they work the same as the ones in Fanfiction?
Yes but let me explain so you'll know a bit more than you originally do now.
Strength or STR
Strength measures your physical strength, which includes carrying weight and how much force you can exert.
Stamina or STA
Stamina measures your health points and how quickly they regenerate as well as your ability to take hits without taking too much damage.
Agility or AGI
Agility determines your overall speed, balance as well as your reaction speed.
Perception or PER
Increases your Precision which increases your minimum damage threshold.
Intelligence or INT
Increases Mana Points and reduces spells cooldown
Thanks, Game!
You are welcome!
This is a Sacred Gear Token!
You can choose any Sacred Gears for your power-up.
Choose wisely!
[Blade Blacksmith] [Sword Birth] [Flame Shake] [Staring Green] [Staring Blue] [Twice Critical] [Twilight Healing] [Freezing Archaeopteryx] [Mirror Alice] [Aegis Mineralization] [Forbidden Balor View] [Holy Resuscitation] [Dreamlike Curse] [Strategy Trap] [Trick Vanish] [Variant Detonation] [Gravity Jail] [Sturdy Saint] [Absorption Line] [?]
I'll pick [Random] since I could potentially end up with an OP Sacred Gear like the Sacred Gear Canceller.
Skill gained
Divine Dividing (Active/Passive) LVL: 1/100 [0%]
Description: Divine Dividing, also known as the White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings, is a Sacred Gear, and one of the eighteen Longinus.

Balance Breaker will be unlocked at level 50
Juggernaut Drive will be unlocked at level 100
I can feel it!
This new life of mine will be awesome!
Glad you'd feel that way because I'm sending you to that world now!
"Wait, what?! Give me a second to prepare myself! Oh shit! Ahaahh!"
I'm taken into the overgrowing darkness.
-Timeskip-
"Wake up, Yūrei. You have school today." A voice tells me as I open my eyes and find them locked in on a very familiar guy.
Tannin is one of the 5 Dragon Kings and more importantly, he's my sensei as well as my adoptive father.
"What... School? Why am I going to school?" I ask, groaning slightly as I sit up to look at him.
"Don't you remember? Sirzechs and Serafall wanted you to keep an eye on Rias and Sona to make sure they don't mess things up in the human world." He explains.
I get rapid flashes in my brain, which looks like his memories if I'm not mistaken.
"Right, I'll get dressed and head on over. Apart from that, do I need to do anything else?" I ask him.
"They also wanted you to get started on getting your own Peerage members, saying it was important for you to either have your own Peerage or join an existing one. I'll leave you to it." Tannin sighs before exiting as I lay back on my bed and release a deep sigh.
Looks like I'm gonna have to deal with the main timeline and its shenanigans.
Unless I change things around by training Rias and her Peerage, which means I'm gonna have to let her get Issei and Asia after the two die at the hands of Raynare and her goons.
The only change I'm sure I can bring here is making sure that they are strong enough to deal with Riser and his Peerage when he eventually comes around.
Well, I guess it would do me some good to explore the human world but I feel like sleeping again so that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
With that, I fall asleep once more.
END!
I won't update this story too often.
