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!
"And done. I doubt I'll always have Stat Points, so this room will serve as a way for me to gain physical stat points." I mutter, more to myself than anyone else.
For the past three days, I've been focused on building a small gym in my house with the help of Azazel, who bought the best equipment to help me with what I needed to become stronger.
It has machines focused on building strength, speed, and stamina so I could have natural gains when I was too bored to grind in the [Dungeons].
Speaking of Stat points...
Name: Jin Kageyami
Age: 16
Level: 31 (0/3100)
Race: Human/Fallen Angel
HP: 3500/500 [80 per minute]
MP: 3500/500 [80 per minute]
SP: 3500/500 [80 per minute]
STR: 10
AGI: 10
PER: 10
STA: 10
INT: 10
Stat Points: 620
Money: 15,000$
Let's see...
I've got to put them at least 50 maybe 100 even but I want to hold on to these points in casemergency.
I put 40 into each of them, getting my Stats to 50 which is pretty good.
I mentally opened it because I didn't expect a [Notification] screen to pop up.
Perks gained for 50 in all of your Stats.
Might make right- 50 STR
Description: Increases the damage output of physical and weapons by 10%.
Speed Demon- 50 AGI
Description: Increases your speed by 10% in a battle.
Mana Saviour- 50 INT
Description: Decreases MP cost by 10%
Stamina Freak- 50 STA
Description: Reduces the required stamina to do activities by 10%
Sage Sensor- 50 PER
Description: Increases your Senses related skills' efficiency by 10%
Those are good [Perks] and combine this with my arsenal of skills then it stands to reason that I could very well have 4 wings before the start of the canon.
"Jin, come in here for a second." Azazel's voice echoes out from the living room, causing me to sigh before heading to where he is.
"So, what's up?" I ask him, stepping into the living room as I sit in a chair.
"So you remember the four Fallen Angels that are stationed here right?" The Fallen Angel asks.
"Yeah, Raynare, Kalawarner, Miltelt and Dohnaseek. You sent them to Kuoh a while ago to investigate the potential Sacred Gear users." I answer.
"Well, according to one of Baraquiel's scouts, they not only bought a ton of rogue exorcists using some of the money we gave them but it looks like they also stole my Sacred Gear extractor." He says, looking over at various reports over the past few weeks on his computer.
"Interesting but what does this have to do with me?" I ask again.
"I need you to keep an eye on them and their targets. I already know one of those two targets but not the other one so your job is going to scouting Kuoh and then you'll report back to me so I can effectively deal with this before shit hits the fan."
"Alright then, guess I'll go prepare," I tell as I leave the room, deep in thought as I ponder over his words.
It looks like they are not only for Issei but for Asia as well
I need to grow into power so I can be ready for when I have to deal with Raynare and her goons.
I kinda don't need it but I prefer to be safe than die because I underestimated someone.
Plus, I want to see what Necromancy does.
Taking out the Skill Book from my [Inventory, I watch as it then goes up in flames and a [Notification] appears so I quickly open it.
Skill gained
Necromancy (Active) LVL: 1/100 [0%]
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.
I decide to go for a more casual look I grab a black T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and white shoes to wear.
Dressing into the clothes, I bid Azazel goodbye and walked out of the house in search of the Abandoned Church.
Something that the anime never got to explore is why Raynare wanted to kill Issei and Asia.
Was it really to get their Sacred Gears or was she under orders from someone in higher place in the Grigori?
It could be Kokabiel and it isn't too far-fetched, to say the least, 'cause the guy is obsessed with starting another Great War to prove that Fallen Angels are the superior race and would've won the first time if it wasn't God sacrificing himself to save the world by sealing Trihexa into a specific point so that the beast could never escape.
Tch, a good plan that was since Rizevim just unseals him with the power of plot convenience and bullshit.
If I can stop Raynare and the other three then both Issei and Asia won't have to die and can live happily for all I care.
Quest gained

Y/N?
Seeing the rewards is enough to convince me so I press [Y] and step inside the abandoned church.
"Yo Ray Ray! What are y'all doing here?" I shouted, catching the attention of not only her but also Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, Miltelt, and a bunch of rogue exorcists.
"Tch, it's Azazel's brat. Raynare, I suggest we deal with him before he has a chance to tell his father what we're doing here." Dohnaseek says in a barely audible whisper but it's loud enough that Raynare can hear him.
"I know that already but if we fight him now then Lord Azazel will tell us to stop the project." She replies easily.
"I say we deal with him now. The worst that can happen is Azazel punishes us for killing his son and failing the mission." Miltelt voices out to her partners in crime.
"So you guys done planning or do I need to give you geniuses a 5-minute break so Donnafreak over there can get his makeup done?" I ask in a taunting tone, angering Dohnaseek the most as he was the target of my insult.
"I don't care if you're Azazel's son you will die by my hands!" He yells, charging in with a light spear, alongside him are Raynare, Miltelt, Kalawarner, and the rogue exorcists.
He's so prideful that just one insult was enough to throw him off his game, something that I'm gonna take advantage of.
Dohnaseek throws a Light Spear that's aimed at my head but I tilt my head in a way that I think is cool and respond by firing a meteor-sized [Shadow Ball] at him but he avoids it and it hits MIltelt instead.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? KIll HIM ALREADY!" Raynare yells at the top of her lungs as the exorcists all lunge toward me, firing bullets from their Light Guns but I create a shield using my knowledge of how to create a Light Spear, which manages to block all of their bullets.
I fire off multiple Light Spears at them and it causes them to fall over and die due to the many holes in their bodies.
"He just killed them so easily. Raynare, we should retreat before he kills us," Miltelt says, coming out of the rubble that was a few feet away.
"Shut up you fucking loli. I order you all to kill him!" She screams at her subordinates, a hint of hysteria and mania in her voice as they lunge toward me.
"You do know you're not gonna win, right?" I ask them, flying away from them but then I'm put in a chokehold by Dohnaseek in response, I let a glowing pale blue colored line wrap around his neck, which chokes him as well as I then fling a Light Spear at his head, killing him instantly.
One down, three to go.
I lunge at Miltelt firing multiple Light Spears at her as one of them hits her in the chest, causing her to fall over while clutching her chest in pain.
"Go to sleep." I intone coldly before hitting her in the head with a left hook, knocking her out as Raynare and Kalawarner go on all four.
"Please spare us! We'll do whatever you want. Do you want a sex slave? You got it but please don't kill us!" Raynare begs, tears escaping from her eyes while Kalawarner looks down ashamed of her partner's words.
"Just get up. It wouldn't do me good to kill you two because Dad would beat my ass for killing three hot chicks because of paranoia. As long as you two don't jump me then I won't do anything to you." I tell them as they both stand up with a look of both caution and fear.
"Thank you very much. I promise you that you won't regret this!" Kalawarner says.
I feel like I might but who knows?
Maybe they'll surprise me.
I use [Store Undead] on most of the dead exorcists and Dohnaseek as the four of us fly away from the abandoned church.
A screen pops up so I mentally open it.
Quest completed
Predator's pack

Perk gained with Azazel for maxing out his REP.
Prince of the Light

Light Manipulation damage output is increased by 2
Perk gained Grigori for reaching 50 REP with them
The apex of the species
Description: You are now considered the apex of your species.
Light Manipulation skills cost is halved and damage is increased by 2
Not too bad.
Especially with the fact my Light Manipulation's damage output has now quadrupled, making me one of the most powerful Fallen Angels of this generation and that's without me wearing the amulet.
I guess the best thing to do now would be to grind for some levels and maybe increase the number of my wings.
"Yo, Dad! I'm back and I brought some guests." I call out as we enter the house and I find Azazel playing a game that's similar to Tenkaichi Budokai.
"Great! How about... it's just you three. Fan-fucking-tastic. Guess I can kiss my day off goodbye." He replies upon seeing the three girls.
I leave them to talk to go to my room to grind and once I'm inside, I equip the necklace and select the [Goblin Dungeon] I'm then taken to a small forest with tiny hutts a couple of feet away from me.
I enter the village and find a couple of Goblins glaring at me, holding spears, bows, and tiny swords as I use [Observe] to see their stats.
Goblin (X6)
Level 25
HP: 2000/2000
Goblin Archer (X4)
HP: 1000/1000
Goblin Spearsmen (X8)
HP: 1200/1200
Goblin Mage (x2)
HP: 1500/1500
MP: 1000/1000
Well, they're not that strong but still, better safe than sorts.
"Shadow Bomb!" I shout as I fire off a basketball-sized ball of pure darkness at one of them, which incinerates him and he falls to the ground, burned to a crisp.
They begin screeching in anger as I take out and brandish my Iron Sword with a fiendish smile on my face.
"Come, all of you! Let the grinding begin!"I roar out while running at them, laughing like a demented maniac.
-Timeskip-
Alright, let's see where I'm at now.
Name: Jin Kageyami
Age: 16
Level: 50 (0/5000)
Race: Human/Fallen Angel
HP: 5500/5500 [127 per minute]
MP: 5500/5500 [127 per minute]
SP: 5500/5500 [127 per minute]
STR: 50
AGI: 50
PER: 50
STA: 50
INT: 50
Stat Points: 760
Money: 21,000$
My [Light Manipulation] and [Shadow Magic] are both level 60 while my [Necromancy] is level 10 and my [Evil Dragon Gear] is level 30, giving me two new abilities, which are Enhancement and Nullification.
Speaking of power-ups, I'm gonna spend a few Stat Points on everything just to prepare against the boss and possibly future threats.
Whether or not Rias and company can sense me is not my problem as I should be able to one-shot all of them with my eyes closed.
With that, I dump my points into my stats
[Dual Caster] - 100 INT
Description: Be able to cast more than one spell at once.
[Magic Factory] - 100 PER
Description: 30% increase in MP Regen Rate.
[Strong Constitution] - 100 VIT
Description: Reduces the stamina used in activities by 25%.
[Monstrous Strength]- 100 STR
Description: All melee damage is multiplied by 2.
[Fight or Flight] 100 AGi
Description: Your agility is doubled when you're in a battle.
Now, time to deal with the boss.
I open the door and find a huge Goblin sitting on a wooden chair, holding a staff with a purple orb in one hand and a grimoire in the other.
I use [Observe] on him to see what its Stats look like.
Name: Goblin King
HP: 4500/4500
MP: 2300/2300
SP: 1100/1100
STR: 128
VIT: 72
AGI: 21
INT: 104
PER: 89
"All right ugly, let's dance!" I call out, summoning the corpses of the dead exorcists, and as they charge the boss I activate my [Evil Dragon Gear] and lunge towards him as well.
He swings his staff forward and some of my undead are destroyed but I use a light shield to protect myself and then use [Nullification] to block his abilities.
I jump on top of its head and begin my assault by multiple lines of absorption at him and then fire [Shadow Blasts] until I have no more MP.
He picks me up and throws me into a wall but at the last second, I use my wings, only to then be hit by a lightning bolt as he proceeds to continuously hit me with the same move.
-1000 HP
Status Paralysis has been afflicted!
FUCK!
I got too careless and I'm now paying the price.
Wait...
What if I...
I use [Nullfication] on myself, focused on trying to get rid of the status effect, and after a few seconds, my plan works as I can now move like normal.
I lunge towards him once more and then jump up in the air as I land on his face and punch him in the eye, causing him to howl in pain as he tries to shake me off but I manage to hold on and continue hitting his eye until I get an idea to speed things up.
I can use [Shadow Magic] to create whatever I want and if it's sharp then it should be able to fillet this bastard.
Wth that, I create swords, spears and daggers from my [Shadow Magic] and point them at his damaged eye as they all stab it as I then make them explode, furthering his pain and agony.
My undead all join in on the assault by continously attacking him, causing him to fall on his back.
I end the fight by firing a powerful enhanced [Shadow Bomb, killing him as he then turns into pixels.
Killed [Orc Prince LVL 48] x1
You have levelled up 5 times!
I got a stupid amount of EXP for that kill, and I also got a strange item dropped
Items Added!
30,000$
3 Gacha Tokens
Orc Prince's Magic Ring
The ring kinda reminds of the Demon Monarch's Ring from the Solo Leveling Manhwa except the gem is black instead of blue, which I find pretty cool in my personal opinion.
I use [Observe] on the item.
Orc Prince's Magic Ring
Rank: C
Description: This ring not only increase your overall charm but also increase the damage of your spells.
Effect: 20 in charisma and 10% DMG increase in Mana used Skills.
Nice effect.
It adds on to my style while also being practical.
What more can a guy ask for?
New Dungeon Available: Demon
You have levelled up 4 times for completing the Dungeon!
I have had enough for today so I recall my undead and then exit out of the dungeon as I then lay on my bed with a content smile.
"IT'S LIKE YOU ALL HAVE A FETISH FOR DYING THE MOST GRUESOME DEATHS IN HISTORY!" I hear Azazel yell out as I decide to go to bed early, seeing as he won't be done until he finds someone to play ranked with him on Call Of Duty.
I love the guy but he's a sore loser through and through.
Don't let his genius fool you into thinking that he can solo an entire squad by himself.
With that, I lie on my bed and and quickly fall asleep.
END!
Okay, time for an explanation as to why I haven't been posting new chapters for any of my stories.
1: I'm currently in school so updates won't be frequent as I'll be focusing on doing what I can to achieve my goals as a student.
2: I have restarted my youtube channel, which will only be about anime WIS. For anyone interested it's Tenpest_edits.
Response to reviews.
Scurra71900: You're welcome dude.
aresstorm98: I actually kinda like this as it fits the title and with the theme I'm gonna with.
erozoth: See, I thought about it but then I realized making him a dragon wasn't what I wanted to go with for a few reasons but the main one is I didn't want him to be too OP early as that would've ruined any chance I had at writing the story. Rest assured that he'll become a dragon soon enough.
mrwinterdk: Thanks man.
