Chapter 2

A/N: I am a hardcore 40k fan so I know this might piss some of you off but I like Tzeentch and also like Nurgle. Sadly, my 2 favorites are directly against each other but to solve this I kind of have Tzeentch and Nurgle mix a little bit. Tzeentch is just as weird and wild but he acts like the one crazy grandpa that you sometimes hate but you know still loves you just the same. Also one more time, yes Adam will be OP as shit, yes there is a system, and yes harem exists. Also probally rape this is 40k and my character is most definitely not the nicest

"AHHHH '' as Adam hurled through the air toward the surface of the planet from his orbit around the globe, he looked down and saw the forest all he could do was scream. However even as he got closer and closer instead of the gravitational constant being a thing he started to slow down halving his speed halfway to the surface of the planet, almost like how Gojo's infinity stops projectiles except the earth was Gojo and Adam was the knife heading his way. Adam reached out his feet to the ground and when he was around a snail's pace and 1 foot above the surface of the planet the magic force slowing him disappeared, and he landed safely and softly on the ground. Just then a letter appeared out of a portal with Tzeentch's chaos symbol as the seal on the cover. Flipping the letter around and opening the top using his two right arms he opened the actual message itself, and instead of regular writing there was a bunch of runes that directly read the message to him in his mind.

Dear changeling, hopefully, you like your majestic form. I did make it myself after all, if you don't like it well…lying is a bad habit and you should get it fixed. Only when talking to me lie to others as much as physically possible, it's funny. Trust. Anyway, I also forgot to give you your last gift, no worries it will answer all questions you have but won't be sentient until higher levels, and I know that makes you angry but to handle all of the other parts of the system at high levels it needs to have sentience so it is not for negotiation. Speaking of which you will start at level one it is only fair will all of your abilities start at 1 as well. Last, I knew you liked this world in your previous life so I made sure that I would send you to the universe where it exists. Hope you have fun in the Darkest Dungeon! - Love your one and only Tzeentch xoxo. P.S. I'm not telling you to corrupt this world just kill the bitch that is acting all high and mighty. Me, I am the best chaos god and don't you forget it!

Adam chuckled right before he felt his mind go blank, an overwhelming amount of force on his brain caused him a temporary blackout in his mind as one voice resounded in his mind. 

[System activated - the merging gamer system] The voice continued [due to the large scale use of infinity right after system activation the merging part of the system will be locked for 8 hours as the system calibrates to the user] Adam who had just came to was astonished he had remembered most things from his life, aside from his identity of course, but one big part of his life was reading novels most with systems. He recognized both the gamer system and the merging system but was shocked that he had them both. One was already incredibly daum near insanely overpowered, fuck that, no he was insanely overpowered, and he could gamble as a power, and he was a fucking changeling. Holy shit.

[End]

"Wow, six overpowered skills, and I have no idea what four of them even do. What the heck does Life's a gamble even mean, how is that the description of how to use the skill." The only reason he knows what the Gamer's Mind and the Gamer's body even do is because of the reading of novels in his past life, otherwise, this entire page would be useless to him. Backtracking to the magic he saw that he only had one skill called Ice knife, understandably he assumed that it was used to create a magic knife out of his mana but the unfortunate thing was because he had not learned any wind magic he still had to throw them by hand. If he could find out how to even cast a spell of course. Because of his passive ability which was to fly, more like hover, above the ground, he understood the general gist of how mana could flow through the body. However, that came almost frustratingly naturally like how if you gave an eagle bat wings it would understand what they were used for but because it had been using the feathered wings all its life it wouldn't understand exactly how to use them. 

Right as Adam finished checking his status he heard some rumbling in the distance along with light belonging to a lantern of some kind. He was in the middle of a forest … with semi-black leaves on the branches. Strange but no matter as he was on the wide dirt path, directly in the way of the carriage a little distance away. The 10 INT came in clutch as time slowed a little around him as he thought, Adam had a skill called changeling, he was a changeling, and his form one named Adam a connection formed as by instinct he produced blue mist around him. Not even a second too soon the mist cleared as the carriage came speeding around the bend directly at him, Adam shouted with intensity "STOP!". Lucky for him the carriage driver pulled on the reins of the horses as they skid to a halt, unlucky for him a fucking crusader kicked open the door of the carriage and yelled "Halt bandit you will be slain!".

"What .. no!? I'm not a bandit, just a guy looking for a ride."

Narrowing his eyes the crusader approached with weariness and confidence in his stance. 'Is this not kind of funny? Is he not a level 0 haha' [Host I would take a quick look at your new stats, mostly the health] In his mind Adam opened his stat page and [+30 stress] looking at his status he nearly had a heart attack his HP was at 10, mana was at 20, and to top it off his skills had lost everything except changeling, Gamer's mind and body, and The Gambler. (Tzeentch's favorite was still there but that was a dumb skill probally so eh) However as his favorite announcer would say, with luck adversity can lead to triumph, he put the mental pieces of his changeling skill together. He could transform into any of the forms he had at will, however, it would copy them perfectly at the level he was at including heath, magic, and most likely all skills except the ones the transformation did not have itself. Put simply he would become that person this included race skills, and most likely unique skills as well. Just then under the changeling skill something new appeared. The Changeling (Active): You have many many faces. You are everyone, every creature, and everything. Ability 1: Shapeshift into the perfect doppelganger of your forms this includes skills, looks, race traits, unique skills, unique spells, and stats. Even your soul is covered in a layer that makes it hard to tell if you are you or not. However all of your skills except The Gambler, The Changeling, The Gamer, and Tzeentch's favorite will be locked. Last you will not have any of the opponent's spells except unique ones the caveat is that you can use all of your known spells.

As good as this was to find out Adam was also a human and very vulnerable to the supernatural stresses that came with this world, as he looked to his side he let out a soft curse as he saw [30/200]. In this world if you hit 100/200 you would gain mental instability, it could be masochistic tendencies to just plain irrationality. And if it reached 200/200 you would have a fucking heart attack, unluckly for you it did not mean safety in the arms of death, no, your HP was simply reduced to zero and you prepared yourself for deathblows. If your HP was at zero for whatever reason you would prepare for death's door, the most terrifying part of this world was now the fact that this was an actual thing that happened. During Death's Door, everyone has a 65% chance to just not die but also a 35% to get a death blow which just kills you outright. This can be modified with some items but they are few and hella far between so good luck finding any of them.

Back to the present Adam was panicking just a little now feeling that a crusader was now looking at him like he was a stain on the planet. Beginner crusaders are beefy as hell even for level 0s if he recalled correctly they had 5 dodge, 30-40% chance to resist all status effects, and 6-12 damage every swing. Now what did this mean for Adam? If he was unlucky he would be on death's door in the next 5 seconds and then after that probably dead, he could outrun the crusader but the bandit inside would just shoot him in the back of the head. Thus time to use his lord's intention for him as a changeling, he's gonna lie his way out of this shit.

"I said it once and I will say it again I am just a guy looking for a ride to the darkest estate." Using his previous knowledge of the game he knew that the estate where the game took place was nicknamed the darkest estate as all other times it was referred to as your estate or whatever you named it when creating the save file. Hearing this he could see the crusader thinking for a second. an impressive feat that Adam noticed was that he never let his guard down even when calling for the Highway man, named Dismas. Huh, fitting, the name of the thief crucified next to Jesus. However, the man that came out next was surprising, not the bandit but someone who looked regal, almost holy. Adam assumed this to be the player character and was quickly corrected as when the man introduced himself he did so as a man named Abel, huh like Cain and Abel cool coincidence. However Adam knew that this was Tzeentch's doing, everything was a part of the great game after all, including this world. 

After Abel had introduced himself Adam had responded in kind.

A/N hold up: I did not make the connection with Adam as well until just now WTF the Bible references go crazy, we are all a part of the great game, Tzeentch is playing us all.

After the basic introduction, Abel got straight to the point "So I heard you needed a ride to my estate"

"Yes I have traveled this way by foot but after a day or two I got lost and have been surviving off of the scraps that I could find through nature on the way"

*sigh* "Very well we will take you" Abel finished by turning around and nodding to Dismas who retreated inside, the stage coach simply told both me and the crusader to get back inside. The crusader, knowing better than to keep his ride waiting joged as fast as he could in the heavy armor that he had on, opening the side door and getting in. 'Well that was too easy' Adam thought as he ran after the crusader and hopped in. Closing the door just before the whip hit the horses and put the carriage in motion he sat down on the left side of the crusader. Across from him Abel opened up the letter and started to read the contents of the letter out loud.

Ruin has come to our family.

You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial, gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the moor.

I lived all my years in that ancient rumor-shadowed manor, fattened by decadence and luxury. And yet, I began to tire of... conventional extravagance. Singular unsettling tales suggested the mansion itself was a gateway to some fabulous and unnameable power.

With relic and ritual, I bent every effort towards the excavation and recovery of those long-buried secrets, exhausting what remained of our family fortune on... swarthy workmen and sturdy shovels. At last, in the salt-soaked crags beneath the lowest foundations, we unearthed that damnable portal of antediluvian evil. Our every step unsettled the ancient earth, but we were in a realm of death and madness! In the end, I alone fled, laughing and wailing, through those blackened arcades of antiquity, until consciousness failed me.

You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial. It is a festering abomination! I beg you, return home, claim your birthright, and deliver our family from the ravenous clutching shadows *BANG* [of the Darkest Dungeon. Crusader + 5 stress, Dismas + 11 stress, Adam + 2 stress] 

Just before he could finish the letter a loud gunshot was heard and then the glass window on the other side of the carriage shattered into a hundred pieces. The carriage skidded to a halt, again, and the Crusader just like when he met Adam kicked open the door of the carriage, lucky as a bandit with two knives was stunned by the door slamming in his face [6 Damage, stunned!]. 

There were three bandits and clearly, they were surprised by our quick exit, Dismas took the opportunity to shoot one with a gun in the head [CRIT! 13 Damage, EXECUTED! All party -3 stress]. Finally, Adam closed his eyes and took a breath, remembering the feeling of flying but colder, so much colder, [Mana -4][rolled a 3 out of 4, Success!] and as he opened his eyes Adam hurled two freshly made ice knives directly at the last bandit. Alas this MF was chunky and as the two knives sank into his skin they released a tiny cryo explosion freezing the impacted area [11 damage]. The big guy that Adam just stabbed let out a roar of pain as Adam recalled that the Bloodletters had around 35 HP, understanding that he just tickled him Adam yelled "WATCH THE BIG GUY" as he dived out of the way just avoiding the rain of whips. Both the crusader and highwayman heard Adam as he dodged the barrage of whips. Just after the Cutthroat came too, to witness Dismas make a duelist's advance stabbing him in the chest with a dagger [7 Damage, killed]. The Crusader, not one to miss some righteous judgment, and to Adam's complete bafflement, SPRINTED to the fat man and then stabbed him in the stomach [CRIT! 13 Damage]. Seeing the opening made by the crusader Adam made two more ice knives this time putting more effort into the mental description of the sharpness, overcasting them. Hurling both knives at the eyes of the tank they sank in and went directly through the back of his head, and the body of the Bloodletter fell to the ground. [17 damage, DEAD!]

Taking a breath of fresh air the group of combatants looked to the man who had just stepped outside the carriage a noble aura surrounding him. He walked and pointed to the clearing in the field right outside the walls of the massive castle like building. "Gentlemen, welcome to the darkest estate"
