I woke up in "my" house, and instantly noticed that my pounding headache was completely gone. Checking the alarm clock on "my" bedside table I see that It's 6:23am… I can't even sleep in? What the fuck, how and why am I awake at 6:23? That's actually just… Sigh, whatever. I can't even anymore.
Walking to "my" bathroom I see 3sets of toothbrushes, one pink, one blue and one black. And that reminds me that I haven't actually seen the occupants of this house of mine yet. I also haven't taken a piss… Or a shit… For about 2 days. Is that healthy? I'm fine, right? What time do most people wake up? They wake up at around 8 or 9 right? Knowing this I decide to take a risk, since I haven't been taking many since coming here.
Walking out of the bathroom I walk back into the master bedroom and walk into the corner, I exit the ID and immediately the world shatters into existence. I was right! These people aren't even awake. It's a male/female duo on the master bed but the female has her face covered by the quilt, her face is on the male's chest. I can see the male's face sleeping peacefully and he looks like a generic japanese guy, not sure what I expected. And I don't care about the male anyways.
Using telekinesis to move the quilt ever so slowly, my efforts are awarded, the female sleeping on top of the male is a solid 7/10. How did this guy ever get her? The fuck?

*Humans without the gamer system do not get to enjoy the perks of having one*
Oh, that makes a lot of sense. If a human's regeneration was END X 10 then it wouldn't take someone a week or two to heal from a small cut. Well alright, that's all I needed to know. Hopping back into an empty ID I stroll into the backroom and pick up the pink toothbrush "Inspect" You can't be too careful.
*Ping*
*A pink toothbrush used to get rid of bacteria on the teeth.*
*Dna samples on bristles: Yoneda Kaede*
Okay, now I know for certain. I apply toothpaste onto the toothbrush generously and start brushing, the reason I'm doing this is mainly because it's kinda funny but I'm also kind of a virgin. Don't get me wrong, I was a 9/10 in my previous world but I simply didn't find romance all that entertaining, "oh Ira, bring me to the movies, buy me this dress! Lets go to a restaurant! Let's walk around town while just talking" And I couldn't ever be bothered to hire a prostitute. Another reason I'm a virgin is because teenage females are too unpredictable. Their hormones interfere with everything and anything. I'm not making excuses for being a virgin, I'm just saying. And this is an indirect kiss! Can you believe it! SO DIRTY, I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING WHORE!
*Cough* Oops, my mental rambling has led me to swallow some toothpaste, time to get back to grinding and stuffs. Spitting out my spit I gargle water and spit that out too. But… before getting back to training…
"ID exit" The world shatters around me, The toothbrush that I was holding is gone, that confirms another theory, everything in the ID is just "fake" I suppose. It all disappears once you re-enter the real world. Grabbing the pink toothbrush once again I unzip my trousers and take out my cock, I very obviously modified the length of my dick, like every good, self respecting male would do. It's now 9 Inches long. Taking the toothbrush I rub the bristles all over my dick. I also rub it on my ballsacks. This is a gift from a god supreme to mortals for "letting" me stay in their house. They should be excited. And thankful.
Putting the toothbrush back in its original place I re-enter an empty ID. While I was resting I was contemplating why there are no quests, this is a game right? So there should logically be quests. But so far I haven't even seen a peep of one.
*Ping*
*Quest diary unlocked! Took you a while.*
*Allows you to complete quests issued by the system for a reward.*
*Quest added!*
*Dragonling hunter*
*Kill Issei before he becomes the boob dragon, and embarasses dragonkind for the next 1000 years. This is a favour to ddraig, one that he doesn't know yet.*
*Reward: 1 Rare gacha token OR 5 common gacha tokens.*
*Secret extra optional step: ?*
*Reward: ?*
*Secret optional step 2: ?*
*Reward: ?*
Ah, Issei. I originally wasn't gonna kill him… but with those rewards? I'm sorry Issei (not really) but your fate was decided as soon as you began to exist. Don't worry I'm not turning into neji tho. Welp, Guess I'm killing the my first human in this world. And it's the main character, extra points!?
*Ping*
*Quest system has unlocked perk system!*
*50 Intelligence perk unlocked!*
*You have an easier time understanding mechanical constructs, which is basically anything, and everything that is physical.*
+300C
*50 Wisdom perk unlocked!*
*You regenerate mana 25% faster, permanently!*
+300C
Oh, perks. I completely forgot those even existed in Gamer fics. It even gave me credits, which I immediately have a use for. I looked through the shop while I was "sleeping" and found a shit ton of powers and items, the only problem is…
*Basic fireball: 15000C*
*Throws an elemental fireball of fire, that explodes upon contact of an enemy. Damage based on mana input.*
So that's like…. Really expensive, but not as expensive as this
*Rinnegan: 651000000000000000000000^29C*
Allows use of the rinnegan eye dojutsu. (Eyes sold in singles)
So I'm basically never gonna get that. Ever. It seems like any kind of attack spell or defence spell, and items too. Are expensive beyond belief. But, since the system is basically a child, it didn't think of the applications of miscellaneous items. Like so,
*X Ray lvl1: 750C*
*Allows the user to see beneath clothes and skin.*
This is arguably more valuable than a shitty fireball, but it's cheaper? How does that work? It's because the system IS literally a child, it doesn't know any better. It bases prices off of practicality (that it can think of) and the attack power or defence power. This is the systems line of thought "Xray. can see through things. Cannot attack things. Cannot defend against attacks. Just eyeball enhancement. Useless. Low price." It literally is like an AI. It can't think outside the box, and I intend to exploit that.
I bought the x ray and set off into Kuoh town. It's time to kill Issei, I've decided on not taking his boosted gear, mainly because of the fact that I don't have any easy methods to do so, and also because of the fact that I doubt Ddraig would cooperate with me if I killed his host. If I did take his boosted gear the cons outweigh the pros. I'd be sealing a deadly dragon inside myself, who probably would enjoy murdering me, I'd have to fight the white dragon emperor, and I'd be a even bigger of a target for recruitment and slavery than I am currently. It just isn't worth it.
It was pretty easy to find Issei's house, I used the four cardinal directions and Kuoh academy as a reference. Issei lives relatively close to Kuoh park, as well so it really wasn't difficult. Upon seeing Issei's house I'm surprised by how big it is. This massive pervert got pretty lucky in life. I never got why the school didn't suspend the 3 perverts, or punish them at all… or even just block up the peeping hole in the closet. The kendo girls said that it wasn't the first time that they peeped, so why not block off the hole? Probably plot convenience.
Issei's house is a two story detached house, he even has a few trees in the front yard. (The front yard is tiny) I walk up to the gate and unlock it, stepping into his property. I walk up to the front door and rip the door off the hinges. I walk up the stairs and find Issei's bedroom. I exit the ID once I'm inside and close the door, the hinges squeak a little but it's nearly unnoticeable. He's sleeping on his back with the covers nearly completely flung off of his stomach. "Sorry, not really, I'll make sure to treat Rias and all the other girls well" I say with a sneer on my face. Here's to my first kill in this world. I'll make it relatively painless since he hasn't done anything that goes against me. He just so happened to get picked by the system to become a stepping stone for me towards becoming a god.

I turn on X-Ray and I see past his clothes, He's pretty well en-downed at least. I can respect that. I look at his neck and find all the carotid arteries inside his neck. I use telekinesis and easily overpower his will. I use telekinesis to grab at all his vital arteries bringing blood to his brain and I Squeeze. His eyes fly open in panic and his face begins to turn red, He tries to call out in pain but I use telekinesis to crush his throat. I did say I'd make it relatively painless. But I can't have you waking others up, now can I? He looks at me with tear stricken eyes and obvious fear. I almost feel bad for killing him. Just kidding. He tries his best to get up and lunge at me, even while confused and panicked he still has good instincts. That's admirable, but not enough. Using telekinesis I grab his frail limbs and fling him to the bed. Holding him against the soft cushion until death arrives.
After 20 seconds of struggle he finally goes limp, but I still pinch his arteries closed to make sure that he's dead.

And there he goes, into the ether. I don't want police investigations to show up anything so I put his body into my inventory. He takes up 2 spaces alongside each other. I wonder if I can put living beings into my inventory?
*Ping*
*System can answer that question for mortal. There is a limit to 1 willing living being being stored inside inventory at a time. Praise the system.*
Ah, Yes system, thank you so much you benevolent and kind god.
*Ping*
*Praise satisfactory. Do you wish to complete the quest now and receive rewards?*
No, I'll complete it when I leave the house, there are 2 other secret steps that I wanna complete, I have no clue what it is but the more time that I spend on the quest, the higher chance that it gets complete. Now, One thing that I learned from assassination is that you never leave witnesses, that's how I died in my first world after all. I killed that guy's elder sister and he came after me. So I'm "forced" to kill his parents. I might have to kill irina as well, but that's later down the line, I'm not sure if magic can be used to figure out who killed someone at a crime scene, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is. This is highschool DXD after all where magic can tear the clothes of a woman off. I can do the same with telekinesis tho can't it? Note to self, test later.
Walking through the hallway of Issei's house I arrive at the door of his parents room. It's locked and I don't know if the hinge is well oiled or not, so I enter an empty ID and walk into the room. I exit the ID once I'm inside and I see Issei's parents sleeping on a bed. Something that I hadn't expected when walking into this room was that Issei's mom is a total FUCKING MILF, Holy shit. Is this the power of plot armor? His dad is an ugly mutt but his mother is fucking hot. I hadn't planned on losing my virginity today but I guess I have no choice! God damn! In the anime Issei's parents are old and saggy, his mother is passable but right here and now she looks like she's barely a day over 20! She has massive tits that look like the softest cushions known to man and her peach garden looks tight enough to chop my dick off. I'm definitely getting some of that!
Using telekinesis I kill off the old fool, +250XP and put his body into my inventory. Now, how should I do this? There are so many options that It's hard to pick… Should I be the hot burglar that fucks/rapes the house wife? Or should I pretend to be part of a dream? So SO MANY CHOICES. I don't particularly care too much about my first time that much, so I think I'll just go with the standard rape tactic. Using ropes. Telekinesis in my case.
Using telekinesis to grab all 4 of her limbs I spread her arms and legs into a spread eagle position. She's starting to wake up but it doesn't matter. The curtains are drawn so she can't really see my face anyways, not like it matters much.
*Lemon, Rape warning*
I rip the covers off of her and feel my lust going insane, how come my Gamers mind isn't taking away the lust? This could be detrimental in a combat situation.
*Ping*
*Gamers mind is only activated in critical situations. Normally it's always active however since you're such a little sociopath it's not always active for you. You don't need it after all.*
Interesting...
I use telekinesis to rip her clothes off of her body and she yelps a little from the harsh tug. Her eyes flutter open and I can see her heart start to beat faster out of fear… or maybe it's excitement? I can only hope.
"H-Honey is that you? W-Whats going on?" She asks with a small voice, I don't think she knows whether to be turned on or frightened. Well, It doesn't matter. Climbing onto the bed I start roughly groping her massive tits, I think she realises that I'm not her husband due to my soft hands.
"W-Who are you?! Issei? Where's your father?" I nearly burst out laughing at that, I know that his parents have little hope for his future but to instantly assume that it's Issei groping her, pitiful.
"It's not Issei, Your husband is dead. I killed him. I killed your son too. And now I'm going to rape you. How do you feel?" Asking that I continue groping her tits and making my way down towards her stomach and shaved pussy. Wow, shaved pussy huh? Thought japanese loved hair. I slowly slide my finger in between her puffy pussy lips and once it's wet enough I slide it into her pussy. It instantly tries to force it out by clamping down on it as hard as possible.
She makes a startled sound and starts to hiccup "No… That's not possible, that's impossible, How could you!? YOU'RE LYING!" I slap her gently (Gently for me, full on slap for her) And her head whips to the side. My eyes can see better in darkness than hers, so I can see the hurt look on her face and tiny tears streaking out of her eyes.
"Still think I'm lying? How about you just enjoy this? I'll make it pleasurable for you, and I'll even let you live, so? How about it?" I kindly offer, I think my offer is really generous, Obviously I'm not going to let her live but she doesn't need to know that. I don't care about her pleasure but if she at least agrees to it then she'll get wetter than if she doesn't, and It'll mean that my first sexual experience with a woman is relatively normal, excluding the rape part, and the fact that she's twice my age. Relatively normal is a relative term.
"No, You're a monster! Let me go, Please! I'm begging you, don't do this. You don't have to do this? Is someone forcing you? Please let me go, please, please. I swear I won't call the police if you let me go, please!" Bitch you ain't gonna call the police cuz you're gonna be dead, well, I tried. I only have one set of clothes so I get off the bed and start stripping.
She has a hopeful look on her face, probably because I got off the bed and thinks that I won't rape her. I finish stripping when she starts to talk.
"Thank you, Thank you so much *sob*" What a weirdo, I guess she doesn't really care that I killed her son and husband. Whatever, I'm not one to judge. I get back on the bed and she freezes, realising that I got back on the bed, she slowly turns her tear stricken face to mine and I see a flash of terror in her eye. And then resignation, but mostly terror. I use telekinesis to grab one of her panties and stuff it in her mouth. Don't want her ruining my completely normal experience.
I use telekinesis to spread her legs even more and position myself in between them. I grab my monster of a shaft and put it on her puffy lips. She looks shamed and I think I know why, She's wet. I grind my shaft against her pussy and get it nice and lubed up. After getting it sufficiently wet I plunge myself into her tight pussy and pleasure completely overrides my brain, all I see is white for a second and It only stops once my entire dick is plunged inside her tight pussy.
I have to stay still for a good minute before I slowly start to move, She's whimpering and half moaning below me but that just makes me even more turned on. I'm fucking her to pieces when I feel my balls begin to tighten, I speed up and go as deep as I can, My massive dick penetrates her cervix and I cum inside her womb. Her stomach bulges and I can hear her whimpering.
I look into her eyes and they're rolled back into the back of her head. She just came. Whore.
*End check 10/20. End check passed*
My dick positively vibrates with energy and it comes back to life, I look to see how my partner is doing and she can feel it, she's wide eyed and has a red blush on her face. She's enjoying this way too much.
I decide to get my first blowjob, ever, from a tied up and unwilling woman, this can't go wrong, can it?
"I'm going to stick my dick into your mouth now, If you even think about biting it off I'll rip out all your teeth and skull fuck you, Understood?" I grab her hair and yank it to make her look at me, I take out the gag and she instantly tried to spit on me. Too bad for her that her spit has no power at all and falls onto my shaft, which is just in front of her face.
"I'll… I'll bite if off if you put that thing in my mouth!" She growled, I sigh and put my fingers into her mouth, Grabbing one of her teeth and starting to pull.
"Wu-WUAIT!" She whimpers, I stop pulling on her tooth and waiting for her to say something.
"Okay, Okay I'll do it! But you have to let me go after this," She begs and I nod. I let one of her arms out of my telepathic hold and she instantly realises this, Using her hand to grab my shaft. Stroking it unwillingly.
I push my hips forward and put my shaft at her pouty lips, They don't open for a second and I sigh in disappointment, her eyes widen and she starts to slowly open her mouth. Her eyes widen in suprise when I push into her mouth, making her gag as my cock forces itself down her throat.
I relenlessly face fuck her all the while making sure my telepathy is on the ready incase she tries to bite down. I grip her hair with my hands and use her head as a handhold to increase the face fucking.
To her complete shame I could see her getting even wetter unwillingly, Pussy juice dripping out of her tight pussy along with my cum.
A satisfied smile grows on my face as I push her completely down on my shaft and hold her there while I cum down her throat. She gags on my massive load and I pull back for the last few spurts of cum. She looks disgusted at first and then surprised. Does my cum taste good? I didn't do anything to it during character creation so I'm not sure.
Pulling out of her mouth she instantly wheezes and hacks my cum out of her throat. All of it landing on her fat tits and dripping pussy. I'd love to fuck those fat tits, but…
*End Check 25/20. End check failed.*
The bedsheets looked way wetter than before, I think she might've had an orgasm…
"You enjoyed yourself huh? The bedsheet is irrefutable proof, You got off on being raped, did you now? What a shameless fucking whore." I suppose that surprised look on her face was actually her orgasm. She's a squirter for sure, I regret having to kill her. Maybe I can let her live? Rape fetish's are always fun.
" Please, please just let me go, you're done, aren't you?" She says with a whimper and sob at the same time, That's impressive. But as I look into her eyes I can tell that she wants revenge, it's the same eyes as the guy who set me up. Deciding to kill her to avoid any more trouble, I use telekinesis to pinch her arteries just like her son and husband. Ironic.
Her eyes widen in fear and betrayal, Did she really think I'd let her go after killing both her son and husband? Too optimistic. After a small struggle she eventually succumbs to no oxygen in the brain. I look at her dead body in amusement for a second before storing it into my inventory. 1/6th of my inventory is filled with dead bodies, great. I could make this my base of operations for the time being, but on second thought, someone's gonna notice that the hyoudou residents haven't left their house for a while, and a concerned neighbours gonna call the police to investigate. I can't have that.
Entering an empty ID after grabbing all my clothes and putting it back on, I contemplate what to do next. Having sex was fun and all but I need to get stronger. I can have plenty of sex with hot chicks later.
I exit the house very gracefully and realise it's only about 8am. The streets are still kind of dark but the sun is starting to rise. I think it's time for me to train some more.
Quickly towards Kuoh park, I look around the empty ID and see nothing of note. After a few minutes of travelling I arrive at the park and run to a forested area of the park with no paths.
I quickly contemplate whether this is a good idea or not, and decide that It probably Isn't, but I'll still do it. Right now I have 1800 mana. If I summon 100 shadow clones then each will have 18 mana, that's really not enough for even an hour of training with pebbles, but it's 100hours of training altogether. The only risk is brain damage, but even that is minimal. That's when inspiration quickly struck me, I don't HAVE to use pebbles. I could just use something even lighter, but still the same size. I used pebbles because they were convenient, but they still weighed a few grams, multiply that by 2 or 3 or even 4 and it becomes a mana intensive exercise (for my clones, since they only have a measly 18 mana.) Quickly deciding on an action plan I summon 100 shadow clones.
"Okay boys, the plan is simple! First we're gonna get a leaf of some kind, and then we're gonna rip it into 3 pieces! Then we're gonna train with those 3 pieces as we did yesterday! Do this until you're comfortable with 3 pieces and move onto 4, then 5. You should all have about 4 hours of mana to use if you do this right. Leaves don't weight shit, so all the mana is going towards actually directing them and constant power. Only go up to what you're comfortable with, if you do 6 or 7 or 8 and you're not comfortable with 4 or 5 then it'll do more bad than good. Understood? Go!" They all nod and run off into the forest, why do they all split up? That's kinda dumb.
"You there, clone, Stay here. You'll be helping me." The clone looks at me with semi-fearful eyes and gulps. He starts walking over to me and stands in front of me.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna fuck you in the ass, jeez. You're me so you should know what I'm gonna do." Honestly, what a weirdo. While all my clones work on being able to lift multiple objects into the air, I'll work on getting better control. I've got a feeling that I actually can't make clones do that part of the work, I'm not sure why I feel that way but I do, sort of like a gut feeling.
*Ping*
*Host is right, Shadow clones can do a lot, but some things have been deemed too overpowered, and therefore banned from working.*
Ah, Well I suppose it doesn't matter too much. Control probably won't be too hard, especially with 60 INT. Oh, By the way, Finish the quest and receive rewards please.
*Ping*
*Host is forgetful. And an idiot. Mortals are dumb.*
*Quest has been completed, please pick a reward for the first quest. 1 Rare gacha, or 5 Common Gacha*
5 Common Gacha, Right now I need escape items and 1 use wonders, My goal right now is to basically become a cockroach. Like so.
"Mwhahaha! You'll never defeat the 1000 shadow clones between me and my real body!"
"Oh? You thought this was my real body? It's actually just another shadow clone!"
"Oh? You defeated ALL of my shadow clones? Good thing I'm in this unbeatable nuclear bunker!"
"Oh? You managed to open the bunker with sheer force? Good thing this teleporter is here!"
"Oh? You managed to follow me even after I destroyed the teleporter after leaving? Good thing my armor is made out of Orichalcum that is enchanted with healing 100 and mending!"
"Oh? You managed to break my armor? You're feeling pretty tired right now I bet? Me? I have this amazing stamina potion, hundreds of them actually! And health potions and mana potions! Mwhahah"
"Oh? You managed to outlast my potions? Too bad that I have 1-use certain death avoidance items! Every time you try and kill me the item gets used up and absorbs the damage you gave me! And I have millions!"
"Oh? You managed to destroy all my escape items? And destroyed the entire planet? I can breathe in space!"
"Oh? You're throwing me into the sun? I have resistance to the sun itself!"
(Inspiration from arrogant young master)
And so on and so forth. I want to always have a way out of situations where I just CANT die. That is my dream. Being super overpowered is always nice as well tho. Maybe I can become a super cockroach. What about the secret quest steps tho? Did I complete them?
*Ping*
*Secret quest step 1: Kill and rape Issei's mother (complete) Reward: 1 random gacha token. Negative tier - Godly tier*
*Secret quest step 2: Make sure no one is alerted of your presence during the quest. (FAILED!)
*Generating random gacha token. Please pick a random number between 1-1000*
Uh… I mean that's not really random, but okay. How about 535?
*Gacha token 535 redeemed. = Uncommon.*
Alright, good, if it was a negative tier what would that mean? Who the fuck would open a negative tiered gacha token? That can only be bad… right? Who's that dumb? Or maybe it forcefully opens, I dunno… System won't answer my question so, No answers for now.
Anyways, I decide to open the gacha tokens now, and hope with all my might that I get escape items or something even remotely useful. I probably won't get any overly good escape items from the common tier, So my hopes aren't raised too high.
*Gacha token (common) used x5!*
*Spirit's Lantern*
*Uses mana as fuel, Functions as a normal lantern but when spirits come near it they are visible to the naked eye. The flame burns unprotected souls.*
*Gremlin statue*
*A statue of a gremlin, made out of regular stone. Contains the soul of a gremlin which can be commanded for an hour per day. Can kill normal humans but is useless against any supernatural beings with enough power to destroy stone. Once destroyed it is gone forever.*
*Vial of wonders*
*Can generate 100ml of any realistic liquid once. Scientific barriers can be broken using this vial. Vial can create potions if you desire. Use cautiously. Any liquid above 1500 celsius degrees will melt the explode violently.*
*The immovable rod*
*This flat iron rod has a button on one end. You can press the button, which causes the rod to become magically fixed in place. Until you or another creature push the button again, the rod doesn't move, even if it is defying gravity. The rod can hold up to 6,000 Kilograms of Force. More weight causes the rod to deactivate and fall*
*Disgusting ring of troll*
*Gives user ability to shapeshift into a troll for 2 hours per day. 2X END. WIS,INT,DEX/2.*
*Gain a negative reputation with all races while shapeshifted.*
Okay, well, most of these aren't exactly escape items, but… I can think of a few uses for each of these. I don't want the ring of troll, that is absolutely not getting used, ever. The vial of wonders can be exploited really easily, I'll be sure to use that. And the Immovable rod, it's an interesting item for sure. Now for the uncommon, escape item, escape item, escape item!
*Ping*
*Uncommon gacha token redeemed.*
*Reward:Demonic servant summon spell.*
*Summons a random demon from hell and binds it as your familiar for as long as you feed mana into the spell. Mana cost = 100/ 20minutes. Demon summoned is random in strength level.

"Shop" Going into the shop I instantly sell the troll ring and get a nice 1200Credits for it. I also sell the gremlin statue since most beings can crush stone in this world, except humans. It nets me a shoddy 600Credits. I keep everything else for the time being and prepare myself for training. Looking at the clone infront of me I can see that he's bored out of his mind, but he can't disobey my commands, so he just sits there waiting for me to finish with whatever I'm doing. I've been sitting here for a good 10minutes now.
"Okay, we're gonna be training fine control now. I need you to get me a leaf and rip it into 100 pieces, make sure the pieces are only barely visible. I need them to be nearly microscopic." I'm gonna be training to be able to grab things that are extremely small. In the future I want to be able to grab atoms but for now I'll settle for something a bit bigger.
"You couldn't have asked me that BEFORE you went and did whatever you did? Honestly" He says with a scoff, Oi. Don't fucking sass me asshole, I'm the bigger bitch here aight. While he gets my request done I'm gonna do 2 things, ask the system a question and use my vial of wonders. "Hey system, Do I get the XP earned from my clones killing stuff?" I ask the system
*Ping*
*System can answer the question of mortal. Yes, you get 100% of the XP killed by your own clones.*
Holy shit, I need to exploit that immediately. No wait, I can't. I'll do it after my clones are done training, I need to level telekinesis up first as well. Calm down me. Taking the vial of wonders out of my inventory I set about thinking of what the most overpowered thing I could possibly create, that is also liquid. It's been proven that the system is basically a child right now, so this vial of wonders might be even more overpowered than my sacred gear. It's completely possible that it is, I just need to utilize it well. I also only have 1 try, so I need to make it count. I can think of SO many things that I could make, pretty much anything has a liquid state. The system won't answer my questions, so I have no information. It says that I can break the laws of science with these liquids, which probably implies that I can summon liquids that don't make any sense in physics. I need to think about this for a while…
*12minutes later*
My clone came back and had a small piece of oak wood with a tiny green pile on top of it. Should I ask my clone? I have hundreds of ideas but I can't decide on which one to pick. I don't want to destroy the vial so I'm not picking any dangerous ones, maybe my clone has some insight?
"What's the most powerful non-destructive liquid you can think of that would be beneficial for us?" My clone looks kinda stunned before a look of realization dawns on his face.
"Uh, Well… There's quite a few but what do you want out of it? Power? Physical power? Soul power? Enhancements? There's literally hundreds of ways to get each, You have to remember that the vial can produce any liquid. ANY. It doesn't have to come from fiction, or anime, it also says that it can essentially break the laws of physics, you know what that means don't you? It doesn't have to make sense." And then It dawned upon me. If I can create any liquid… Couldn't I become a god with one step? Is that possible? Surely this vial isn't THAT powerful?
Grabbing the vial gently in my hand I try to will it to create a special liquid for me. Everything seems to be working before this pops up.
*ERROR ERROR*
*Vial cannot contain liquid "Ophis's blood" Since it has an invalid amount of strings. Amount of strings present:∞*
NOOOOOOOOOOOO Damn it, DAMN IT! Fucking shit balls, cunt fucker titty shit cunt faggot fuck fuck fuck fuck, thats absolute fucking bullshit, god fucking damn it this fucking piece of shit. FUCKKKKKK, Calm down, calm down, the vial is still here. It's still here, I can try again. I'm good. I'm good.
It didn't seem to use the vial in the attempt, and I can still feel the vial calling out to me to be used. So that's good. So, I can't summon ophis's blood, I don't know what I would've done with it once I had it, maybe I could drink it to gain infinite mana? That's not how blood works, so maybe it's a good thing that it didn't work. It was way too good to be true anyway. I would've been too strong for my own good.
This is probably a big mistake that I'm about to commit but, It's gonna be very useful for the immediate future. I'll be honest, I could just make a liquid that increases my "power" by 99999 or something like that, but I don't want to go down that route, It won't feel like my own power. So I'm going to use the liquid as an enhancement drug, Yeah, Call me stupid but I think this is the path that I need to take. Deciding with finality I summon the vial and will it to create me a potion.
*Ping*
*Vial of wonders used.*
*Vile of wonders has created [LEGENDARY] level potion.
*Potion provides the status effect: Legendary Hyper Focus.*
*Effect: Allows the user a state of total and absolute control of their body, mind and soul. The level of control a user has while using Hyper Focus rivals hundreds of years of training, Given to the user instantly.*
Hyper focus uses increasing amounts of stamina for the longer that it is active.
And that, Ladies and gentlemen is how you exploit a common level gacha item. I could have exploited it a lot more but there's a risk of getting punished by the system, it obviously doesn't want me to become overpowered too fast. And I agree with it, being overpowered gets boring, I would assume. That's probably why zeus fucks all his children. He's bored.
Lets see how this works now, shall we? I walk over to my clone and tell him to hold the leaves in front of his chest. I activate hyperfocus and everything becomes CLEAR I see everything that I hadn't seen before, I can smell 13 different scents in the air of various animal feces, worms and birds flying above. I can see every single detail on my clones face, every single hair root, every single black-head inside their pores, I can see each individual outline of the leaves that my clone is holding. I can see the outline of my clone's skin, his fingernails jagged edges. It seems like my clone's been chewing his fingernail recently, I can see sweat trickling down my clones face. And I can almost see beyond… I can see small flashes at the edge of my vision and I can almost go into more detail, I can feel that I can go even further beyond. However all that ends as I collapse to my knees and heave a mouthful of air. My clone just fucking punched me… I'm gonna fucking shove a lion up his ass WHY DID HE PUNCH ME? I WAS BEING ENLIGHTENED!
"WHY DID YOU PUNCH ME? HOW DARE YOU!?" I shout with a primal fury that I haven't felt ever since I was 13, my mind is racing on reasons he would punch me and I try to reason that he had a good reason but my anger wont subside. I prepare to strangle him when Gamers mind kicks in. My anger slides away like a slippery snake in grass, and I try to hold onto it but it slips out from under my hands.
"You stopped breathing and wouldn't respond to my calls." Oh… Thats, I suppose that makes sense, but why did I stop breathing? Was I too focused on all the details around me? And trying to go beyond? Why did I get so angered? I can usually keep my calm even if im getting the shit kicked out of me…
*ping*
*Legendary hyper focus has a side effect of multiplying any high-level emotions after coming out of hyper focus.*
Oh shit, that's like, really bad… Why did Gamers mind take so long to kick in tho? Was my primal fury so strong that It couldn't suppress it? That's actually a pretty cool thought…
*Ping*
*I thought you had it handled, so I didn't activate it until you were about to murder your clone, which wouldn't have done anything by the way.*
Ah, nice way to take me off my high horses there. I can probably deal with that side effect, any other side effects that I should know of? And should have been informed of when drinking it?
No answer, as expected. So, I just need to not be amazed by everything that I see in hyper focus and remember to breath, How much SP do I have left? Its been a minute so it's probably recharged by now. I don't feel tired at all. SP regeneration is way too broken. Hp regeneration too.
*Ping*
You spent 3 seconds in hyperfocus and spent 602 SP
Ah cool, I have a regen of 400 per minute so I'm fine now. Still, that's a lot of SP for 3 seconds, and it's only gonna get more for every second I spend in hyperfocus, apparently.
Going back into hyperfocus I make sure to remember to breath, and I marvel at everything around me, everything is so much clearer now, I don't feel smarter or anything, but I can truly observe things now, even my eagle eyes are lackluster to this. I can even feel each individual blood cell in my body. It's kind of disorientating but really really cool at the same time. Anyways, I can't waste time on paying attention to that. Focusing on the leaves I can see all 129 pieces. Didn't I tell my clones to rip it into 100? Is he retarded? Anyways, no time for that. I focus on the smallest leaf and I can tell it's exact length. It's about 140micrometres in total area. Which is tiny, how did he even rip these up? Oh… He probably grinded it up somehow without mixing them together, but I can already see the leaves trying to "mix" together for lack of a better word. So yeah, He didn't cut them up… he grinded them up, lazy cunt. That's why theres 129 seperate pieces instead of 100.
Using telekinesis I try to grab 12 pieces at first, and realise that it's super, super fucking easy. I suppose hyper focus increases my concentration and ability to use telekinesis, I grab all 129 pieces of the leaf and start to levitate it around my clone's palm. I try and make the leaves do acrobatic maneuvers but I'm interrupted.
*Ping*
*User has achieved new telekinesis aspect: Control. 1/1000*
*The size of which you can control. Many users of telekinesis only think about how big of a thing they can stop. Not how small of a thing they can control.*
*Provides a flat bonus to control of telekinesis per level. There is no unit of measurement for this.*
*User already has a lot of experience in fine control category of telekinesis. Adding experience to Control.*
*Control has leveled up! X19*
*User is hereby allowed to abuse telekinesis as a further reward for finding and utilizing one of the [Lost aspects] Gamer system will not punish user for fully utilizing this lost aspect. Have fun mortal.
Oh, I definitely will, don't you worry about that. This confirms my theory that If I were to abuse the system ever more with other things, I would definitely get punished in one way or another. So that's a big no no. It's time for me to grind telekinesis and get as many levels as I possibly can in telekinesis. I'll also try and get a few days of grinding done in the zombie ID just for the levels. I have to wonder how I'm gonna increase my body strength tho, When can I pick up a secondary primary class? Didn't the system say I could get it once I leveled up 2 subclasses to 25? I'm gonna guess that my actual level also counts as my subclass since I get wis and int per level. So once I get to level 25 I'll pick another subclass. I'll probably pick summoner since I already have a demonic summon spell. I should be able to create skills tho, right? So if I pick the summoner class then I should be able to summon just about anything as long as my level is large enough, and I have enough mana.
Deciding to try something out I cast telekinesis on a rock and fling it at full speed at a tree nearby, My clone seems startled but I don't care about him right now. The rock smashes into the tree and goes right through. Leaving a nice and circular hole in the tree bark. No I'm not going to fuck it, if you were wondering. I do this a few more times with the same result as before, and then on the 6th try…
*Ping*
*New skill evaluated and accepted.*
*Telekinetic throw 0/10*
*Use telekinesis to throw an object at another object. Levels increase accuracy and speed of object being thrown.*
Ah, I entirely forgot that skill creation was a thing, Sometimes that happens. I'm gonna create a lot of skills now. The accuracy boost is nice and all, but what I really like about skills is this...
I focus on a rock and use telekinetic throw, Noticeably faster the effect takes place and launches itself at a tree with just a thought. Before having this skill I had to go through multiple steps to get it to hit the tree. I had to envelope the rock in telekinetic power and then lift the rock up, aim it at the tree, and push it forward with telekinetic power, I also had to constantly supply power to the throw. The skill eliminates all that, I can just focus on the rock, cast telekinetic throw, and I'm done. The rock is ready to be launched at anything I want. It takes less time and could be a saving grace. It's so much faster. I'm gonna need to practise on a few people to make other skills, but the skills that I can make in this forest isn't small.
I focus on a tree bark and imagine my telekinesis creating a hollow circle around the bark, I grab onto the bark and start applying as much pressure as I can. I can't break the bark right now since I can only apply 215KG's of force sadly. I was trying to make a skill called telekinetic crush. Moving on.
I focus on my clone and notice that he's just staring at me incredulously. It's time for a little revenge, they don't dispel unless Hit right? Using telekinesis I form an imaginary hand out of it, and grip his throat. I lift him into the air and he starts choking. I doubt he can die from oxygen deprivation, right? Right? Probably.
He probably understands why I'm doing this, probably. He's me after all.
*Ping*
*Force choke skill has been assessed and accepted.*
*Force choke allows the user to create a hand out of telekinetic force and choke a target with but a thought. Force choke can use various amounts of pressure. From kinky choking to death choking to crushing your entire neck choking.*
Alright, nice. Next, I'm gonna try and figure out how many things I can orbit around me at once, WITH a pattern. Which makes it way easier.
"Go grab me as many stones as you can" I say to my clone, He looks at me oddly and rubs his throat, what a baby, it was just choking for a few minutes, honestly. I grab rocks as well and in a few minutes there's a few dozen rocks in front of me. I'm not going to use hyperfocus this time to see how many rocks I can orbit around me at once naturally.
1 rock… 2 rocks… 16 rocks… 31 rocks…. 72 rocks. I ran out of rocks. It turns out that by using a pattern this becomes absurdly easy. It takes only a little bit of concentration to keep the patterns active.
*Ping*
*Orbiting shield skill has been assessed and accepted.*
*Orbiting skill picks up various items from around the user and forms a protective shield.* 0/100
*Levels allow user to pick up more objects at once. +10 objects per level.*
*Objects must be under user's telekinetic weight limit.*
Cool, That's what I was going for. Next. I stop all of the rocks and step out of the shield, there are quite a few holes but there won't be if I use 1000 rocks at once, probably. Aiming all the rocks at various trees I use telekinetic force and throw them all at once. Targeting so many trees is difficult, so I hope I get a skill in one try. The stones roar through the air and strike the trees with bizzare power, half of the trees I targeted go down in a blaze of glory and I get a skill.
*Telekinetic mass throw has been assessed and accepted.*
*Allows the user to throw many items at once at several targets. Targeting is no longer required thanks to skill.*
I'm on a fucking roll! Next! I use telekinetic force to form a hollow sphere around my entire body except my feet (so it doesn't dig into the ground) and I can feel the telekinetic power form a solid shield all around me. It feels extremely weak and spread out for some reason. I doubt it's more effective than my other shield, but it can be used a lot faster.
*Telekinetic shield has been assessed and accepted.*
*Allows the user to form a shield of telekinetic force around himself. The shield is the total telekinetic weight limit spread out evenly around the user. Shield can be focused into a single spot with practise. Force required to break shield is less than 1KG.*
Alright, for now I think that's enough. I can make new skills at any time I want. These will help me in combat situations, so that I don't have to focus on each individual step every time I want to use telekinesis. For now I'm going to focus on making my telekinesis weight limit stronger, and raising my level. Here I come, grinding.
*28 days later*
...
An: This is the 28 days of training, added it because I wanted him to earn the power that he has in the next chapters.
After getting legendary hyper focus I set off into the familiar forest. I could train with zombie ID but that would get repetitive over time. In the familiar forest I'll get to face hundreds of different animals and might even fight a few dragons, Not that I'm ready for that yet. But I'll be soon, probably.
I land at the edge of the familiar forest and I'm surprised. In the anime this place doesn't seem that overly big, but here? It's fucking MASSIVE. I honestly think that this may be the biggest forest I've ever seen!
I walk into the forest and immediately notice that it feels weird, the atmospheric pressure suddenly changed… I look behind me and see only trees, weird? I thought I just entered the forest, did I get teleported to a random part of the forest or something? That would explain my ears popping. I try to use telekinesis to fly up and see where I am only to realise that it doesn't work… Someone is blocking my telekinesis? Or someone?
My assassination training comes in handy as I see a black blur in the corner of my eye and I spin around to see my attacker, but I don't see anything… weird, I feel like I'm being watched but I don't see anything.
I try to use telekinesis to pick something up and realise that none of my skills work, not even the gamer system… Did I hallucinate all of what I just experienced? Was I high on drugs and accidentally walked into this forest while high? No, that's impossible… It was too realistic. I'm sure I died, so then what's going on? I'm not in an illusion, gamers mind would cancel that for sure… A test? The only thing in this universe that can cancel the gamers system would be the gaming system itself, is it testing me to see if I'm worthy or something? Does it want me to get out of the forest? At Least give me a quest, an objective?! Fuck does it want me to do?
I sigh and start walking forward, the gamer system is testing me for an unknown reason and I don't know what I'm supposed to do, for now I will assume it wants me to get out of this forest, or defeat some kind of boss. That's usually how these things work, right?
I break a branch off a tree and use a rock to sharpen it into a spear, good enough for now. The fauna in this forest is really weird, some areas have completely different fauna than others, it's all a mix and match, the trees however are all the same, big, towering redwood trees. I hear a branch break and I freeze. I look over to the direction that the branch broke and see a small, green humanoid creature, half my size. It's staring at me and I'm staring at it.
Deciding to be the first one to strike I run forward and stab the spear towards it's eye, it tries to dodge but ends up falling on it's ass and my spear goes through its eye. I feel the familiar rush of XP going through my body but get no notification, it's confirmed, the system isn't responding to me on purpose. But since it's such a child it forgot to stop me from earning or feeling XP. Or it might not be able to stop that, I'm not sure yet. What I just killed was a goblin, they usually travel in groups of 5 or more just like humans, this one might've been a scout or had run away from it's base, which was unlikely. So I will assume it's a scout.
I quickly hide the body under a pile of leafs and climb up a nearby tree, these trees have massive branches so my entire body is hidden from ground view, I watch out for any titanoboas because if there are goblins, then I'm sure there are titanoboas.
I was right in my assumption, 3 goblins follow the same path that the scout took, they're all wearing loin cloths but these one's have actual weapons, A rusty dagger, A stone mace, and a makeshift sling. They look confused when his footsteps end, then they notice my much larger footsteps running towards the small footsteps, they gain a panicked look and start frantically looking around, but it's already too late, I drop down from the tree and hit one of them in the face with my spear, he clutches his face and drops his rusty dagger. The one with the mace swings at my groin but using my superior reach I stab him in the face with my spear. I notice that the third one is missing from my sight and realise my mistake immediately, but it's too late for that. I feel a sharp pain in my neck and I immediately turn towards where the pain came from, behind me. I look behind me and see the little goblin fucker, the one with the sling. I throw the spear at him and hit him in the stomach, the spear going straight through his body. He looks up at me in terror and slumps down to his knees, what a drama queen. I look at the goblin still clutching at his face and boot stomp on his head, It explodes in a violent gush of blood and brains everywhere. Probably not the smartest thing to do since it'll attract other animals, but I was mad. Gamers mind isn't cancelling my negative emotions anymore so I have to apply manual emotional discipline.
I check my neck for any damage and find none, the rock hadn't managed to penetrate through my thick skin, good. It left a slight bump but it's healing rapidly. It seems like I still maintain my enhanced body, and probably strength too. The spear is ruined however so I can't salvage that. My inventory doesn't work either so I can't store things conveniently, thats too bad.
I pick up the rusty knife and smack it against a rock a couple of times, it holds and doesn't break, it's not been rusty for too long, so it's good enough. I've never been a mace kind of guy so I leave the mace behind, I have no clue how to use a sling so I leave that too. I remember that In reincarnation novels and Isekai that goblins have magical cores, which sell for a lot, but I assume that I'm still in highschool dxd, So they probably don't have any magic cores, I don't want to get blood on my hands so I don't bother to check. It'd be too messy.
I walk north for a few minutes until I hear the sounds of a river flowing. It sounds quite powerful so it's probably quite a big river. I need to be careful since animals like coming to take a drink, and predators usually camp the rivers. Fucking alligators.
I walk over to the river and don't see any immediate threats, I'm still not sure if everything that happened over the last few days has been real, since for now I've lost telekinesis I need to check if everything has been real, just to make sure. I walk over to the river and stare at my reflection. My heart settles, which I hadn't even known was racing when I stare back at myself, white hair, heterochromia and a beautiful face. BOTH of my hearts settle, sorry. I forgot I have two. By the way, I have two hearts. Jealous?
I wash off my right boot and take a quick drink. I hope this water isn't contaminated by ligma, that'd be horrible. What's ligma you ask? LIGMA NU- *WHOOSH* I instinctively roll backwards and dodge a massive death club, I get out from underneath this monster and take a look at what I'm dealing with.
How did this fucking thing sneak up on me? It's a massive towering orc with chiseled muscle and holding a massive club, did the water infect me with ligma? Is that why I missed the orc! Wait.. This is no time to be joking it's a fucking orc!
*WHOOSH* The orc swings its massive club and I roll underneath it, I use my iron knife to try and cut the orc but it breaks, shitty fucking knife! I drop the knife and roll underneath the orc again, my only advantage in this fight seems to be my agility, and intelligence.
Before the orc has a chance to turn around I jump on its neck and start raining down blows on its head, I get 13 blows in before the orc reaches up and grabs me with his thick fingers, I can feel him trying to crush me but my bones hold, probably because I made everything so dense. I kick him in the face and he stumbles back, instinctively dropping me to hold his now bleeding nose.
He stares at me with fury and roars a primal roar. I think he's angry.
The orc charges at me with everything it has and swings the club in a downward arc, I roll to the side and bring my heel down on top of its hands, a wet crunch is heard and the orc drops his club and screams in pain. I quickly rush to the club and heft it onto my shoulder, this thing weighs at least 40KG.
I use basic physics to my advantage and start spinning in circles with the club to build up centrifugal force. After a few seconds I'm at terminal velocity and I have an unbeatable barrier of death. Time to plan, how do I beat an opponent who outclasses me in pretty much anything physical, except agility? It barely has any weaknesses, I can't cripple it by it's knees since the thick muscle prevents it from breaking easily, I don't have enough force to break it's knees. Can orcs swim…? Of course they can, right? Okay, Drowning the orc won't work. I can use it to escape if things take a turn for the worse.
I doubt the orc is much stronger than me, I can use the club with a little bit of difficulty, but the orc seems to be able to wield it very easily, so I estimate that the orc is probably twice as strong as me, overall not that bad. Not bad at all. I need to decide on a plan soon or I'll become nauseous, I can only spin for so long before that happens. If I went fist for fist with the orc I think I have a good chance at defeating it, especially if I target it's eyes. So that means I need to get rid of its weapon, which I have right now. Every time I do a full revolution I can see the orc staring at me with incredible amounts of patience, weren't orcs meant to be impatient cannibals?
I try to let go of the club at the perfect moment to hit the orc in the face, accounting for the lead and speed at which I'm spinning. I let go and the club hits the orc in the face, breaking several of its teeth and causing the orc to stumble back. The club got cracked right down the middle, making it pretty worthless. Still dangerous, but it has a high chance of breaking on its next swing.
I quickly rush the orc since it was retarded enough to grab its face with its mangled fingers. I jump high into the air and grab onto the stunned orc, forming my hands into makeshift spears I launch it at the orcs wide open eyes. I'm holding onto the orc by wrapping my legs around its waist. The orc tries to swat away my hands with its hands but my hands are simply too fast. My hands fly into the orcs skull and I try to cause as much damage as I can by shoving my hand into his eyes up till my elbow, till it can't move anymore. I rip out my hands from its eye sockets and they're coated in blood, I unwrap my legs from its waist and drop to the ground, rolling backwards as soon as I land incase of retaliation.
The orc drops to its knees but it's still fucking alive, I circle around the orc to behind it and roundhouse kick it in the back of the head. Completely breaking its neck and killing the orc. That was easier than I had expected, but I got very lucky with that club throw. I need to get stronger. Also need a new spear or something. I feel the rush of XP through my veins and a small, almost miniscule smirk grows on my face. I think I just leveled up a dozen times, I'm not sure tho. No gamer system, remember?
I wash the blood off of my hands in the river and decide to be serious for the time being, this is all pretty dangerous. I rinse my elbows in the river and realise that my leather jacket actually didn't absorb the blood, it seems like my clothes given to me by the system is waterproof, or something.
I look up and down the stream in search of anything, I honestly don't know where I am, but I think it's still the same familiar forest. Which means that there are unlikely to be any human civilisations down stream. But there could be other civilisations? Who knows what lives in this massive forest.
I start walking down stream and try to keep an observant eye in all directions, but alas I only have two eyes. And one direction that I wasn't looking was downwards. Sad but alas nothing can be done. A snake strikes and latches onto my calve, I can feel venom being injected into my leg before I can do anything, I pick up a nearby rock and smash it on the head. Killing it instantly.
I'm really rusty, I need to start shaping up or I'm really going to die. The venom shouldn't be lethal but It'll make walking over long distances difficult. Not a massive problem. My modified body should be able to purge the venom rather quickly. I'll be fine for now.
I decided to take a short rest to let my body rest and get to work on purging the venom.
After 20minutes I can be seen sweating incredible amounts and slightly shivering. I was wrong, this venom is really fucking deadly, shit shit shit shit, Fuck do I do? There's nothing I can do at this point… Will I really die like this? WAIT! My sacred gear, there's no way that the system can block even that off, right!? I try to summon my sacred gear and fail, I try again and fail, same as before. I try one last time but this try I summon all of my failing willpower and bash it against the mental lock that holds my sacred gear, I can feel my consciousness fading but I keep bashing. COME ON!
After one final bash of willpower the lock crumbles to dust, I immediately summon my sacred gear and prepare for the pain of a lifetime, Entering a meditative state I target the venom inside my own body and BURN, pain wracks my entire body and I feel as if I had the worst fever ever, I can't move and I can barely think. I mean, I'm setting a fire in my own veins, what did I expect? The venom made it to my heart, and the fire burns through my heart, destroying it almost instantly, both venom and heart. The venom only made it to my first heart, my brain and second heart are completely fine. After 2 minutes of overbearing pain I finally go unconscious, however, all the venom in my body had been purged by fire. I think I'll survive, fate will decide.
-pov change-
We were travelling upstream to fetch some buncle apples for aunt Maer, she was cooking my favourite! Buncle apple and venison stew!
I'm travelling with my elder brother and father. I am only 13 this summer but the tribe has decided that I'm allowed to go on foraging runs for the upcoming winter, we start preparing for winter at the start of spring because we hibernate during winter, so we eat a feast before winter and hibernate through it. Oh? Why do we hibernate you ask? Aren't you just super silly? obviously because frogs hibernate.
Yes! I am a frog, a greater frog to be exact. One of the rare intelligent species that occupy this massive forest. We live in tribes of 40 members, any more and we can't collect enough food for the winter, so once a tribe reaches 40 members it splits off into 2, 20 and 20. And one of the groups leaves the hunting area and the other stays. There's not enough food in the one area for both tribes after all. We trade goods with other tribes but the tribe that we split off from has a significant place in our hearts, so they get discounts. We trade things like footwear, some clothes for women, delicacies like rare plants and mushrooms, everything and anything that has value!
As I was saying currently we are looking for buncle apples for stew, they are like regular apples except they're made out of meat. They still grow on trees though, but the trees have to be killed before you can get the apples, this is still considered foraging weirdly enough, the trees are made out of meat too but our weak jaws can't eat it, it's very hard. Hunting is reserved for females over 20 and males over 14. Foraging is reserved for females over 12. Babies don't forage. They just play and stuff, anyway, where was I? Uhhhh, oh yeah! Stew! Stew is like the greatest thing ever! Especially aunt Maer's stew, it tastes so good! I'm drooling by just thinking about how great it'll be.
I nearly stumble when I come out of my thoughts but I manage to not embarrass myself in front of elder brother and father. We keep walking for a few minutes before dad abruptly stops, elder brother walking into his back since he wasn't paying attention, hehe stupid elder brother.
"Stop, there is a massive amount of ambient magic on the path in front of us, however, It feels very chaotic and in pain, it could be a wounded greater animal. We shall avoid this path, come, let us go around." I gasp in amazement and my eyes widen in astonishment, a greater animal!? Greater animals are usually very intelligent, like us, but have greater combat capabilities than our race, Greater animals are just a name we use for any race that has great combat capabilities, some of the greater animals that also have large mana reserves include some elves, greater falcons, greater tigers, and ground dragons. Dragons in this forest are very rare, and they don't count as greater animals, every dragon counts as an elder animal of the forest. They are above even greater animals!
Greater frogs like us are at the bottom of rankings, we are just known as magical animals, animals with no intelligence at all are known as just normal animals. Like bunnies and insects and stuff.
"But father! If it is wounded could we not kill it!? We must rush forward and kill it for the glory of our tribe! Just imagine all the glory that we could achieve!" Shouts elder brother, he's always been a glory seeker and "brave" toad.
"Silence fool! Even a wounded greater animal can easily destroy an entire tribe! Do not tempt fate you idiot!" Says father in a reprimanding voice, I try to feel for the mana that father talks about and realise how vast it is, It is most definitely chaotic and in pain, but I also feel another emotion? It's hard to describe but it feels like a cry for help, or perhaps it's cursing itself for being so foolish?
"Father, I think we should help the greater animal, it seems like it's in pain and it's crying out for help, please father?" I ask with the best toad eyes that I can give him, his resistance crumbles in a second and he sighs. "Alright, however, if it turns out to be hostile then we run instantly. And you must stay behind me at all costs. If I say run, you run. Understood? And son, if you dare attack it, I will castrate you myself! Do NOT attack it, even if it is asleep." Father says in a strict voice, stricter than I have ever heard. Father is really serious about this for some reason, he's gone hunting for wild beasts before but he has never been this serious before, are greater animals really that dangerous?
We continue on the same path that we were originally taking and the mana in the air grows even thicker, thick enough that even elder brother can feel it, even with his non-existent sensing ability. I can hear him gulp and sweat starts to trickle down his frog-nose
Females are generally better at sensing mana than males, no one knows the reason or questions why. It just is.
Father stops and stares at something, Me and elder brother don't see since we're behind him, "Father, what's wrong? Is it a dragon? Is it a vampire!? Or is it even something bigger?" Elder brother says excitedly, with a tinge of nervousness.
"No, It's smaller, It looks like a vampire but it doesn't have pale skin, I'm not sure what it is. It looks like an elf without pointy ears. All I know is that it doesn't seem to be hostile, I think it might be sleeping." Father said, he continued walking towards the greater animal with deliberately loud steps in order to alert it of our presence.
The greater animal didn't stir, the oldest toad thought that it might have been dead, but dismissed that notion as quick as it came, dead things don't emit so much mana after all. The father figure quickly did a once over of the weird animal and saw that it was wearing clothes, much much higher quality than the hemp clothes that women wear in their tribe. It seemed like it was made out of some kind of animal hide, and plant fibres. The greater frogs have no ability to tan leather so they could not create these clothes, even if they wanted to.
The eldest frog inched closer and only then did he see that the greater animal seemed to have been bitten by a snake, looking on the ground he did not find any snakes, which suggests that the greater animal didn't kill it, which is unlikely or that the greater animal travelled a great distance even when bitten.
"Get out our treatment supplies, get the snake oil ointment and herbal paste and give them to me." The only snakes in this part of the forest are Xenopeltidae,spiny tree vipers and some rare vipers here and there. They can't treat the venom of any of the snakes, the only thing they can do to try and curry favour from this intelligent greater animal is to boost its natural healing using snake oil and herbal paste. The tribe produces this herbal paste and trades it with others from their herb farm. They are the only ones in the area who have suitable conditions to grow the required herbs.
The elder brother gave both of the requested items to the father and was wondering what the father was doing, if the greater animal was so injured then couldn't they kill it and brag about it? But he did not dare to disobey his father, so he did as asked.
The father told the two siblings to stay where they were at and walked closer to the greater animal. Once he was one meter away he spoke in the common tongue of the forest. "Hello, greater animal, please let me help you with your snake wound. I wish to assist you in your time of need. If you are unconscious and do not reply I will take that as consent." The father had not spoken common tongue for a long time, so he was rather rusty and only remembered the formal,strict versions of everything.
The greater animal did not respond, did not even acknowledge that the greater toad was in its presence, so the father assumed that the greater animal was unconscious from the venom. He sat down next to the greater animal and stopped blocking the view of the elder brother and sister. They both gasped and elder brother had to restrain himself from attacking the wounded creature. They both kept alert of their surroundings like taught but sat down to rest their legs. They've been walking for quite a while after all.
The father treated the bite wound and made sure plenty of herbal paste got into the hole, he smeared snake oil onto the exterior of the oil and then used a cleaned leaf to bandage up the calve.
The father wasn't sure if bringing this creature into their tribe land was a good idea, but staying here was a really bad idea. It wasn't dangerous if you knew the best routes to take but the river was a popular hunting area for big predators. Greater frogs can only survive in these areas because they know the best routes to take, to avoid the predators entirely.
The greater frogs weren't that much smaller than Ira, The father had hardened muscles from hunting dangerous opponents like coyotes and deer. (dangerous for them) So he was sure that he could carry Ira with ease. But when he tried to lift him, he wouldn't budge. The greater frog put everything into trying to lift Ira but he could only make him move slightly.
"Son, come here, we can't leave this greater animal in this open, exposed area, I don't know what it was thinking sleeping here. It's one of the worst spots it could pick. It might be new to this area. Come help me pick it up and move it to a better place." Both frogmen positioned themselves at either side of Ira, one at the legs and one at the head. They both grunted and managed to lift Ira.
Over the course of 15minutes they managed to move him into a safer place. They were inside one of the great redwood trees, a hole in the base of the tree serving as makeshift shelter.
"What do we do with it father? If it was bitten by a snake then it probably won't awaken for another few hours at least. We should just leave it here and get apples, then check in on the greater animal when we're on our way back, and if it has awoken then we can ask it if it would like to take refuge in our village until it gets back on its feet." Said the elder brother, that was actually unusually wise from the stupid toad.
The father contemplated this and decided that there wasn't anything else they could do. If they waited here for the greater animal to wake up then night would come and they wouldn't have any apples, there is no guarantee that the greater animal would wake up at all. "Okay, we'll go get buncle apples and then if the greater animal has awoken we shall offer refuge. That was a good suggestion, son. Let's go." And with that they set off to collect apples. Leaving behind a recuperating Ira.
-Ira pov-
I woke up to a rat nibbling at my foot, I lift my foot and crush its head with my heel, feeling pain all the time during my movement. God damn it now I have rat blood on my foot, I should've thought that through better. Fuck. My veins still feel like they're on fire, thick syrup being pumped through my sensitive veins. I can't move without feeling immense pain. I can feel my veins being regenerated at a pretty fast pace, if I had to guess I'd say I have about, 30hp or so right now. Which is probably not too good. That snake really blended in well. I look around and notice that I'm in some kind of wooden construct, it looks circular and wooden so I assume I'm inside one of the trees, I don't remember entering one before losing consciousness so it must've been someone else that carried me in here, or something else.
I weigh 120Kilograms so there's no way it was another human, it must've been something similar to an orc to be able to carry me so far. Or it might've been a group of people, well, not people, but you know what I mean.
Or it's possible that the rat I just crushed dragged me all the way here to this tree, and was trying to wake me up by nibbling my feets, oh god I feel horrible now, why did you have to think of that possibility brain? Just kidding.
Well, there's really not much for me to do right now, It'll take me atleast a day to heal fully even with my insane regeneration, My regeneration with the gamer system is truly insane, but right now the gamer system has temporarily left me for some unknown reason, so I'm back to pretty much baseline levels of regeneration… Wait a fucking second, burn victims back in my world had it pretty rough… What if my veins never actually repair? But what was it that I felt when I woke up? This needs immediate investigation.
Entering a meditative trance I immediately look deep inside me. I look for my veins and out of the darkness of the void comes lines that take the form of a human body. 70% of the veins are red and the rest of them are a healthy green, both of my feet, up until my first heart are red, my brain and second heart are fine. Thats probably why I'm still alive, never thought that my idea of making myself a second heart would actually pay off, what I would've actually used it for was like "*SPLAT* *Blood gurgle* You… This… This power, I see. I've lost. You win this time, *Bleh*" and then the guy that I'm fighting would be like "You were a good opponent, rest in peace." and then I'd be like "Just kidding lmao I'm not dead" and grab his sword and pull it deeper into me, and moan while doing it or something.
My daydreams are cut short when I notice that my damaged veins are turning yellow by the minute, slowly but surely, one by one they are turning yellow, and then green, and then it moves onto another section of vein. So somehow I'm still healing, slower than if I had the gamer system since I'd be able to heal within minutes, but I'm still healing fast for a human.
I exit my meditative trance and get back to waiting for my mobility to return. If someone or something dragged me here, and didn't eat me, then does that mean that whatever dragged me here is friendly? I sure hope so since I can't get out of here. All I can do is wait for whoever dragged me here to return, and hope that they weren't just saving me as a snack for later. If they don't come back at all then that's good too.
The entrance of the tree that I'm sitting in can't be taller than 5 feet, so it's likely multiple people.
*31 Minutes later*
The first thing that I heard that alerted me of someone's presence was the shuffling of leaves. It was getting closer and closer, I grabbed a rock in case a fight broke out. It's better than using my bare fists. I was still in tremendous pain but I have regained basic mobility.
A dark silhouette slowly poked its head from the side into the little room that I was in, Once my eyes adjusted and focused on the figure I was stunned
Standing in front of me is a brown frog. Yes, standing. The frog in front of me is bipedal, and staring at me with curiosity but a high amount of caution.
"Hello greater animal! Please do not attack, I have helped you with your wound, we wish to offer refuge to you!" Says the frog in a weird japanese, the frog has an accent and it's obvious that it barely knows the language. Since I am a certified weeb I know fluent japanese, and this frog does not! On to the less important point, it wants to help me? Or is it trying to lure me back to its home to eat me? It has some kind of backpack on its back made out of thatch, so it's obvious this is some kind of primitive caveman frog, how did he help me with my wound?
"How did you help me with my wound? What did you do to it?" I ask in perfect japanese.
"I used our tribes herbal paste to speed up your healing! And I also spread snake oil over the entrance of your wound to help it close up! At last I used a cleaned leaf to cover up your wound." Says the frog, how the fuck did a frog learn basic first aid? That's overly complex for a frog in the primitive era. Back in even medieval times people would usually be like "Oh you've got a fever? Bloodletting. Broken spine? Bloodletting." everything was dealt with by bloodletting. Or leeches. But I guess the frogs developed in a different way since their brains function differently, or something like that, I'm really not sure.
He's also giving our information freely, which could be for three reasons, he's stupid and doesn't realise he's doing it, or he doesn't see me as a threat, or he doesnt mind giving out information. I relax upon realising this and nod to the frog. It's probably the third one. So I'm probably in the green for now.
It called me a greater animal, and is being very polite to me, I think that a greater animal is some sort of powerful being in this forest that has earned a classification of it's own.
"What is your name frog?" I ask with a semi-arrogant voice, gotta play the part of greater animal after all.
"This humble frog's name is jebediah your lordship." I assumed right, he's calling me a lord, so greater animals are nobles of this forest or something. Why did it assume that I'm a greater animal tho?
"You can call me Ira. Explain to me which quality of mine you enjoy the most, as to call me a greater animal, which I most certainly am." The frog looks confused for a second before nodding and speaking
"Lord Ira your mana quantity is truly astonishing, me and my children came across your massive mana and felt that you were in pain. I shall be honest my lord, at first I had not wanted to come near you, I felt that you might lash out if someone came near you in a time of pain. However my daughter convinced me of getting closer to your lordship, incase you were in need of aid!" The frog explains, alright, so it was him and his children who helped me, great.
"I see, for showing courage and wisdom that is admirable, I shall not feast upon you. You said you wished to offer me refuge? I shall check if your refuge is acceptable and then decide. Let us go." I say to the frog, Free shelter? Yes please.
"Ah, Lord Ira, before we head to my village can you please not kill anyone when we arrive? Also, excuse this arrogant frog but is there perhaps any way of you reducing the amount of mana in the air? Most of my tribe do not have as good resistance as me. And even I am suffocating slightly." Ah yeah, my mana I lost control of it and haven't stopped producing it ever since the venom. I realise that I have mana, but I can't actually use it without the system since I don't know what telekinesis does to it. How to shape it and how to achieve telekinesis without the use of mana… It feels weird, since when you're using telekinesis with the system you just CAN and you don't really question it. It feels natural and you feel like you're the one actually doing all the work. You take it for granted and when you lose it you realise that without it you're nothing…
Fuck it didn't work. I was trying to appeal to the system to stop being a whiny bitch and give me the system advantages back, what a massive cunt. But all that I said was also true. Not having the system truly sucks balls.
I mentally command my mana to stop being produced when my mana pool is full and immediately the frog in front of me stands up a little straighter, as if a weight had been taken off his shoulders.
I try to command my mana to move around inside my body and I can feel it respond eagerly. So I can still use mana, I just can't use it to make spells. Good to know.
In some anime the main character can unleash destruction by only using mana, I wonder if that's true here too? I can't test it now since the frog in front of me is looking at me weirdly. It's been a few seconds since I said lets go, he's probably waiting for me to get up or something… Which I can't.
"Come here, help me up. The deadly venom from the heavenly destruction sect's sky king viper did a number on my mobility. I suspect I will need a few days to recover." I lie. I have no fucking idea what that snake was, I also lied about needing a few days to recover. Incase they were planning to attack me or something, I'll be able to recover in a day and then be ready for an attack. Sky king viper also just sounds really cool.
"Ah, a sky king viper… Yes that is a very deadly snake species indeed. It is very amazing that lord Ira has survived being bitten by one." Says the frog in a complacent tone. I don't think he believes me.
The frog walks towards me and extends his slimy frog hand towards me. I grab it and heft myself up, I forgot that I was 120kg so I used all of my power and nearly dragged the frog down to the ground.
I met the children of the frog and not gonna lie, his daughter was kinda hot. Also underage. I mean… Maybe frogs have something like dog years? Yknow? It's also a forest… Soooooo.
The other child wasn't very interesting, he was looking at me with vigilance and clear excitement, a weird mix for sure. He looked pretty generic and I doubt he amounts to much in the tribe.
Along the way the biggest frog told me about his tribe, their traditions and whatnot. He couldn't tell me much since we only traveled for about an hour before arriving in a decently sized primitive village. I counted 34 houses which suggests this village is going to split into 2 soon. I could see their herb garden with my enhanced eyes, it was cleverly hidden in a small rocky outcrop with the entrance covered with vines. It was probably hidden so that rabbits and foxes didn't eat the herbs, not against other intelligent beings.
We entered the village and the frog people looked at me very curiously. Jebodiah has told me that there are other greater animals that occupy this forest that look exactly like me. Vampires and elves to name a few. Vampires are known to be aggressive to all races except themselves, and elves just fuck trees and smoke leaves or some shit. They're just a race that stays in their part of the forest and don't want conflict with any of the other races. The frogs are afraid of both because the elves have "advanced" magic.
And there are tales of vampires. It is said that they are so fast that you can't even see them move, all you see is a blur and then they're gone, along with your friend or loved one, or even you! What a shitty rumour, they probably haven't seen a single vampire and this is all based on rumours. Rumours that are probably true but it's still just rumours. I could probably beat a vampire. Yeah totally.
I was led to the village leader and my situation was explained to him. He had really saggy frog skin and all his fingers drooped like soup. He looked like he was on his death bed with gray hairs sticking out of his scalp all over the place. He was pretty nice though, I guess. He offered me refuge but I suspect it was only because jebediah told him that I was a greater animal. The elder looked skeptical but when he saw the resemblance to vampires and elves he immediately changed his mind.
I was told that vampires and elves change into greater animals once they reach adulthood, or late teenagehood. The earlier you reach greater animalness the more talented you are. I have no clue how you determine whether someone is qualified for being classified as a greater animal so I asked.
It's based on the amount of mana you have, once you're able to make a fox or coyote crumple to their knees by using only the pressure of mana on the animal, you are classified as a greater animal. So it's basically based on MP size. Cool.
I use mana sensing to see how much mana jebediah had and he has about 130units of mana, the elder has 96 and his children have 40 and 35. Everyone in the village was somewhere in between.
I assume that the amount of mana needed to force a dumb animal to their knees is somewhere around 300 or 400. I have no reason for this number but it just seems like that's the right answer. So if we put all this together, we can assume that adult elves and probably vampires have a mana pool of around 400-? And can use "advanced magic" which gives them a big advantage. I don't have any books on how to use telekinesis or any magic, so I can only rely on experimentation with mana. Not being able to use magic sucks balls.
I was led to a slightly bigger than normal thatch hut and introduced to the rooms of the house. They probably keep this house as a guest house specifically since there is dust everywhere and it looks like no one's lived here for years. The house was hastily cleaned of dust by a bunch of children frog. Child labour for the win.
After everyone left I lied down on the rough bed and started thinking. I wanted to experiment with mana but right now even walking was difficult, so I settled for thinking. What was the objective that the system wants me to do? Can't it atleast give me a tip? I don't feel hungry or sleepy at all so I'm assuming that I still don't need to eat or sleep, which is always good.
I can't do anything physical right now so I decided to just go to sleep. I was about to drift off to sleep when I heard it.
*Ping*
*Congratulations to user for surviving one full day without system assistance. User has been deemed worthy of information on current situation.
User has guessed that this is a test. User is correct. User's objective is survival in the forest. User's main objective is to subdue the dragon tiamat in the middle of the death forest without the use of the gamer system.*
*Quest complete: Survive one full day in the death forest without assistance
Reward: Information. +15levels. +Blade of the hopeless.*
*Blade of the hopeless: A blade given to those without any hope of survival, it uses the powerful emotions of despair and fear of those around the user to power up. The more fear the blade consumes the sharper it will become. Base sharpness can slice through wood easily.*
… Okay. That main objective seems a little excessive, how do I kill a dragon without any magic or the gamer system? But the wording seems weird, it says subdue, not kill. The definition of subdue is to gain control over someone or something, subdue is mostly used in the temporary time frame. So does that mean if I were to tell tiamat to stop moving, and she listened even for a microsecond, that that would count as being subdued? The system doesn't answer my question so I think I might be right. I won't take that risk tho so I'm going to train the shit out of my body and hope for the best in trying to learn magic without the system.
I also assumed correctly that this is no longer the familiar forest, but in canon the dragon tiamat is supposed to be working as an administrator for rating games? It makes no sense for her to be here.
*Ping*
*The dragon tiamat in this ID is fake. Created by the system for the user to subdue. The death forest is all one big ID created for the user to be tested in. Exiting ID is forbidden.*
Oh, so I'm in an ID. When I first entered the forest I had actually felt the same sensation as entering an ID, but couldn't place it until now. This being an ID changes nothing however, the threats are still very real and everything in here can kill me. I can't go to sleep now so I experiment with my mana.
I try to bring my mana out of my body and succeed immediately. All my practise paid off. I try to shape the mana into an arrow shape and launch it at something. The mana harmlessly collides with the wood that I launched it at. Frick.
I have no information on how the magic system in my body works, for humans in dxd it's all based on maths (ew) and complex formulas, but it's obviously not that case for me. Maybe it's based on intent?
I summon mana into the air in front of me and will it to change into a fire element. Nothing happens. Alright, listen buddy… Wait, perhaps my magic works with science? I know that's a massive oxymoron but it makes some sort of weird sense. In my previous life I loved science, so maybe my magic takes the trait of working by imagining science? This might limit me greatly but it could be being used as a nerf of sorts. With all my knowledge of anime and all the different powers that I could just imagine into existence, I would be unstoppable.
I call mana into existence a third time and imagine 3 parts of the mana turning into fuel. Oxygen. And 1 part of my mana into a naked flame. As soon as I imagine the naked flame a massive fireball combusts into existence in front of my face, luckily it was far enough away that I only felt a residual blast of heat. Oxygen is the main component of combustion, and a very good fuel source for fire. So the resulting fireball was very powerful, but only lasted for a short while since all the oxygen was used up instantly. I only used about 200units of mana in that fireball. I wonder what all of my mana could do? And what sort of limits that I have? The "nerf" that the system tried to apply to me has backfired amazingly. I will become god with my magic, and the best thing? I doubt anyone can copy it.
