Hey guys Kurama here with another story which is the rewrite of A Gamer's Guide to Surviving in DxD.
"Talk," someone says
"Dragon, Game or bijuusTalk/thought/spells/Justus, 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-
You know, my life wasn't bad all things considered.
Sure, I didn't have a significant other or make a lot of money from my dead-end job but I was content with the way I was living it.
So I didn't find it shocking to have died in my sleep at the age of 23.
Though I do wish there was something to do in this place 'cause staring at the stars is starting to get boring after a little while.
Well then random soul, I guess today's your lucky day!
"Beezus!" I shout, my voice hoarse since I didn't talk a lot cause well, I'm dead and now, I imagine myself falling on the ground as an anime character would.
I will be your guide so you can get isekai into a world of your choice. You can think instead of talking.
Wait... did I hear that correctly? I'm going to get Isekai'd like Rimuru Tempest or Naofumi Iwatani?
That's right buckaroo!
Here ya go!
Congratulations!
You're a Gamer!
Skills gained.
Gamer's Mind (Passive)

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.

This is so cool!
Since you seem to be in such a good mood, let's continue.
Select your race.
[Human] [Hybrid] [?] [?] [Locked]
What are those question marks and locked screens for?
Those races are unknown and the last one should be pretty obvious.
Anyway, they can range from you becoming a God to you being a beetle or a bird in your playthrough.
I'll choose [Hybrid, picking [Human] and [Dragon] as my two choices since that'll grant me some extra stats as well as a Sacred Gear.
Okay then let's move on to something else.
Select your world
RWBY
MHA
Digimon
Dragon Ball Z
One Piece
Bleach
Naruto
Pokémon
Tokyo Ghoul
Highschool DxD
I'll choose DxD simply because it's going to be hella easy to get waifus in that world.
Wait... shouldn't there be some Perks included in this?
From what I remember, in some Gamer Fanfics, the Gamers would always get those abilities before starting their new life.
Well, if you insist.

Loot has a chance to be of a higher rarity and more chances of critical hits.

Eh, why not?
What's there to lose?
Item gained

I guess I can roll again.
But anyway, let's move on to something else.
Select your element

I pick [Fire Magic] since having fire as a superpower is a no-brainer.

That's pretty good but since I'm gonna go in DxD, I'm gonna need Sacred Gear to guarantee my chances of survival as I can't be a Devil or a Dragon.
This is a Sacred Gear Token!
You can choose any type of 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] [Boosted Gear

Your Status
Right, let's take care of my name before I can look at it.
Tapping a few letters in, I'm left satisfied with my brand new identity as another screen pops up.
Name: Kenji Hoshikaze
Age: 16
Level: 1 (0/100)
Race: Human/Dragon
Alignment: Neutral

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!
I think I'm ready.
This new life will be different, I can feel it!
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-
"Shit... that felt like an acid trip," I mutter, rising to then dust myself as I took a look around my surroundings.
It appears I'm in a room filled with Gundam figurines as I'm then pelted with memories of this new life.
I live in the same prefecture as Issei Hyoudou and his parents, which is fine I guess since I have what was supposed to be his Sacred Gear.
Welp, sucks to be him I guess but it's not like he was ever gonna use it to its fullest potential.
It took him poking Rias' tits like some blushing virgin for him to even get Balance Breaker and don't even get me started on how he got Juggernaut Drive.
It took you Asia dying for you to unlock that kind of power versus Vali, who's been training to unlock a similar power to yours.
I promise you this Issei, if I didn't get the Boosted Gear as a choice I would kill you to get it.
Bitch ass virgin.
The only thing you're good at is being a filler character's pet.
Sighing, I enter the line of sight of Kuoh Academy and it looks exactly like it does in the anime.
"Hello, you must be Kenji Hoshikaze." Sona says as I walk towards her.
"Yes I am, I hope we can get along," I reply easily
"I hope so too. If you don't mind, I would like to escort you to your first class, seeing as you're new around here."
"Of course not and thank you."
REP increased with Sona Sitri to showcase the tactical might of the Kushihashi.
Sona Sitri [30/100]
Yeah... I'm not gonna question this cause that's gonna take me into a rabbit hole of mental anguish and death.
I'm then guided to my class by the Sitri heiress and on the way there I make sure to keep my eyes peeled in case I stumble on Tsubaki or Akeno but they didn't show up unfortunately.
I suppose I can always bump into them during the school year but for now, I'm gonna play the role of model student.
"Thank you for guiding me to my class. I wish you a good day." I say cordially as I then enter my class and see a familiar face.
Issei motherfucking Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation and the only guy that's managed to get a harem in all of anime.
"Students, please welcome Haise Kushihashi. He's the son of one of our main investors. Please introduce yourself, Haise." The teacher explains as the class then shifts their focus on me.
"My name is Haise Kushihashi and I'll be in your care as a fellow student. Please make your acquaintance." I tell them as some of the girls stare at me with a dreamy look and a bit of drool coming out of their mouths, making me a bit uncomfortable as I go sit down next to Issei, who glares at me for some reason.
"Quick question, you're not some kind of pervert are you?" A girl asks me.
"I'd rather be using that time spent to peep to make meaningful connections with the people around me 'cause as they say over in America, time is money so to answer your question, no I'm not a pervert," I reply while glaring at Issei, who clenches his fist in anger.
REP increase with Aika Kiryuu for having a huge dick.
REP increased with Murayama and Katase for being a respectful man.
Massive REP decrease with Issei Hyoudou, Motohama, and Matsuda for being a bitch ass pretty boy.
Aika Kiryuu [14/100]
Murayama [10/100]
Katase [12/100]
Issei Hyoudou [-25/100]
Matsuda [-25/100]
Motohama [-25/100]
I mean, I'm a pervert but unlike the 3 stooges over there, I can control my impulses.
Seriously, Issei is known in the future as the 'Boob Dragon Emperor' while Vali is the 'Butt Dragon Emperor'.
How the fuck did we go from Heavenly Dragons to the mighty gecko molesters!?
I will rectify that shit by bullying Vali so damn hard that he does an entire 180 on his whole personality.
Quest gained
Conqueror of the Heavens
Objective: Defeat Vali Lucifer [0/1]
Rewards: 2000 EXP, 2000$ and 3 Gacha Token.
Quest is auto-accepted.
"Please turn to page 11 as we will continue from there." The teacher says as class officially begins.
-Timeskip-
"Finally, the school's over!" I say as I rush out of the school after surviving THE worst class in the whole universe which is for me hell on earth 1000 times over, Math.
So far, most of my classes had me enduring the Perverted duo's incessant sexual innuendos, and let me tell you, the anime does not give them justice in terms of how I want to punch them to the moon!
Although Sona has been trying to keep me after school since no doubt that she wants me to join peerage I don't want to do that because both she and Rias are weaklings.
As a guy who has a huge ego, I refuse to join a bunch of idiots who don't even know what they're doing besides pleasing their siblings.
Rias could've ended her marriage with Riser but instead chose to be lazy and not do anything about it until she got truly desperate then Issei and the rest of her peerage trained with her so that they could be ready when facing the Kentucky Fried Chicken.
And Sona has more personality than a math teacher. Most people would just be friends with her so that they could pound her sister.
I'm never going to join someone like them but I might help them when the time comes so I can get some REP out of it.
Well, at least school's over so now it's time to do my favorite thing, grind.
Rushing back home, I go straight to my room and look at the list of [Skills] I currently own.
It seems I have something called [Racial Skills, which is probably related to me being a Half-Dragon.
I have the passive ability [Dragon Aura, [Winged Fight] and the active ability [Fire Breath].
They are all level 1 but with the training montage I have they should be in the double digits soon.
Well then, let's do some grinding.
Selecting the zombie dungeon, I find myself in a post apocalyptic version of Kuoh Academy.
Quest gained!
First Dungeon
Objective: Kill 100 undead (0/100)
Bonus Objective 1: Kill the Dungeon Boss (0/1)
Bonus Objective 2: Clear Dungeon without being below 50% of your Health Point.
Rewards: 500 EXP, 1 Gacha Token and 500$.
Bonus Rewards 1: 1000 EXP, 2 Gacha Tokens and 1000$.
Good, now then let's have some fun, shall we?
I see a zombie so instinctively I form a longsword made out of pure light energy and cut his head clean off in an instant.
Zombie killed x1
Gained 200 EXP
Gained 20 Stat Points
You have levelled up twice!
Welp, one down and plenty more to go.
I activate my Sacred Gear in my left hand and sprout my draconic wings as I then fly up in the air in search of more zombies to kill.
-Timeskip-
"This is getting really boring." I deadpan, sniping another zombie with a [Firebolt] to its back as I end it with another one to its head.
You have levelled up twice.
Thanks to the massacre I just committed I'm now level 20, which isn't too bad for a start.
My [Light Manipulation] and [Shadow Magic] are both level 30 and my [Boosted Gear] is level 15.
It's a pretty good start for someone who entered the dungeon life half an hour ago.
I fly in a random direction and then descent just a little as a [Notification] pops up.
*WARNING*
[Mini-Boss Zombie Legion will now spawn]
In front of me, a massive pile of zombies fused into one horrifying entity that should be killed on fucking sight!
It's just so stupidly gross that it deserves to die but calming myself down, I use [Observe] on the zombie legion.
Name: Zombie Legion
LVL: 20
HP: 2000/2000
The only thing I can note about it is that it's very tanky as it then starts charging at me, causing me to fly the air to evade its attacks.
As it keeps on going forward, I use the chance to bombard it with [Shadow Blasts].
"See ya later!"
It dies after one minute of non-stop attacks on its back causing me to sigh in relief. If it had hit me at full force then I could've died.
You have levelled up 3 times!
I need to learn summoning magic. I might be able to easily overpower anything with pure offensive capabilities after a few levels but... one hit from these things and I'm pretty much in danger.
Or at least that's what I think.
A chest then appears where the mini-boss died, as I quickly jog over to it and open the chest.
Items added
10 Random Stat Crystals
5000$
Robe of the dying Sage
Boots of the fleeting Hermit
Equipping the two accessories, I realize that I can now deal with the boss since it should be an easy fight with how strong currently I am.
I arrive at the ruined version of the Kuoh Academy's gym and then wait for a while but nothing shows up to fight me.
Am I not at the correct spot or did I not kill enough zombies?
*SPAWNING DUNGEON BOSS*
[Boss Zombie Death Knight has appeared]
As I read this, the undead looks at me with nothing but hatred in its eyes, but I know that this undead has an unhealthy amount of hatred for the living.
It wields a large broadsword that's around triple my size, has a large shield that it could use to block most attacks, and probably bash my head in dark plate armour.
I use [Observe] on it to see its stats!
Name: Death Knight
LVL: 25
HP: 10000/10000
MP: 0/0
STR: 125
END: 100
AGI: 15
INT: 50
PER: 65
[Death Knights Broadsword]
Description: This is the weapon wielded by a Strong Death Knight to slaughter its enemies to great effect, it has a special curse that makes it so that any who are of a holy race cannot wield it.
Deals STR plus 100 Physical Damage
[Death Knights Shield]
Description: This is a large shield wielded by a Strong Death Knight to defend it from harm and attacks. It cannot be pierced by weak attacks.
This shield blocks 50% of all the damage from Physical Attacks
This shield cannot block magical attacks
10000 HP! That Death Knight has the highest amount of HP I've ever seen on any boss in my two and its physical stats are all high except for DEX.
That sword can kill me with two swings if he hits me, but fortunately, I can fly and his shield can't block magical attacks.
The Death Knight starts running towards me with surprising speed and I cast [Inferno Whip] to paralyze him and it works to perfection.
I then start spamming a combination of [Mana Arrows] and [Firebolt] as the Death Knight howls in pain at my attack for a few seconds before rushing me with renewed vigour.
The Death Knight approaches and slashes its broadsword at me as I attempt to dodge it and succeed, after I dodge the blade I cast [Mana Arrows].
The blasts hit its shoulder before exploding and knocking the Death Knight to the ground.
Seeing my chance to end this guy once and for all I rapidly spam [Firebolt] three times on the visible chest of the Death Knight and watch in maybe a bit too much delight as it kicks and screams in pain, but I avoid it and continue its suffering.
The Death Knight immediately gets blasted by a large number of tendrils that originate from his sword while arrows made out of pure energy pierce its entire body.
it realizing that this may very well be the last moments of its undead life.
The pain has already proven to be too much for his body to handle and now he's going to die at hands of a Dragon.
The Death Knight falls on his back as he's now nothing but a corpse.
Huh, I did it.
"I won!"
Killed [Death Knight LVL 25] 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!
10,000$
3 Gacha Tokens
Skill Book: Necromancy
Dagger of Set
Now the money is normal, I defeated a really difficult boss of course I should get some money but that dagger is strange to me for some reason.
Item gained
Dagger of Set
Rank: D
Description: The Dagger of Set was a dagger used by the late princess Ahmanet in her attempt to find a mortal man for Set, the Egyptian god of death, storms, and chaos, to inhabit.
Effects: Increases Necromancy damage by 5% and decreases Necromancy spells by 2.5%.
Gives out Paralysis and Drain statuses on enemies.
What an useful item this will be for my new ability.
I mean, it's not everyday where you see a Dragon use Necromancy to fight 'cause most of us prefer to our innate power, which isn't too bad but it makes us complacent which is why we lost the Great War.
Or at least that's what I think.
With that done, I had finally completed the quest in the dungeon.
Quest completed!
First Dungeon
Objective: Kill 100 undead (100/100)
Bonus Objective 1: Kill the Dungeon Boss (1/1)
Bonus Objective 2: Clear Dungeon without being below 50% of your Health Point.
Rewards: 500 EXP, 1 Gacha Token and 500$.
Bonus Rewards 1: 2000 EXP, 2 Gacha Tokens and 1000$.
Bonus Rewards 2: 5000 EXP, 3 Gacha Tokens and 2000$.
New Dungeon Available: Goblin
You have levelled up 4 times!
I have had enough for today so I exit out of the dungeon as I then lay on my bed with a content smile.
Now I'm confident on dealing with the main timeline and its shenanigans.
With that, I lie back on my bed and fall asleep.
END!
I've been planning to rewrite the story for a while and hope that I don't mess things up going down the road.
