A Nerfed Gamer in Avia Chapter 11 - D Rank Dungeons are bullshit!
I slowly walked forward deeper into the cave.
I had encountered another group of wolves. I was a lot slower in defeating these ones because I wanted to test their abilities.
They only had those two powers. The Bolt took about 2 minutes to recharge but they could use their cloak a lot.
Also if you made contact with the wolf for too long whilst it had its cloak up. The lightning would start attacking you. You needed to be holding it for about 3 seconds though.
I found that when I blocked a bite with Hardening and the wolf stayed latched onto my arm. It was using its cloak as a weapon to attack whilst it held me.
These wolves give 500 XP each which was weird. The Alpha from the dire wolf dungeon gave around 1000 and it was only King Tier 1 sometimes 2.
These wolves were King Tier 1 and they gave 500 XP. I guess “boss” monsters gave more.
I ducked under a bolt of lightning before dashing forward and throwing a kick up into the chin of a wolf. Qi Kick caused it to fly up into the ceiling of the cave.
The wolf’s body caused some large rocks to fall down. I reacted fast. The Sharingan allowed me to easily see where the rocks were falling. I grabbed a nearby wolf, its cloak zapping me.
I kneed it in the head to daze it before throwing it where the rocks would land.
The rocks crushed its head. I leaned back as a wolf went to bite my head off. I responded by grabbing its throat. I squeezed and crushed its windpipe before tossing it up then I slammed a kick into its side sending it’s dying body into a wall.
The fifth and last wolf attempted to run deeper into the cave. But I saw its intention before it even started moving thanks to my Sharingan.
I appeared beside it as I grabbed its head and slammed it into the wall of their cave, dragging its face through the stone before slamming my knife-like hand into its guts, pulling said guts out.
I then dropped its lifeless corpse to the floor.
I panted as I stood there. My Mp was almost empty because of how much I had been using the Sharingan. My Qi not far behind.
I was done. This was all I could manage at this point in time.
As soon as I turned and started walking, I heard a loud crunching of stone. I looked down into the cave.
The next second a massive form appeared out of nowhere. My Sharingan burned its image into my mind. The Alpha was here.
Johnson was in front of me within the second as he blocked the wolf's bite by holding its jaws in place. I reacted immediately as I dashed around him slamming a quad burst uppercut into the bottom of its jaws.
“I’ve got this go!” Johnson shouted. The Alpha was dazed by my attack so I used that to start running. Johnson kicked the wolf away before he started running too.
I remembered the image of the wolf and it scared me. It was massive, much bigger than the dire wolf alpha. It had dark black fur with large blue streaks of fur covering its body.
I expected that but what I didn’t expect was how its eyes shone with a dark red energy. It was radiating bloodlust. The dark red energy that seeped from its eyes had black specs inside it.
Whatever it was, it sent a deep primal fear coursing through my body and mind.
We ran. Whenever the creature got close, Johnson turned and hit it away.
Soon we arrived near the village, Johnson had seemingly called for people to help. Since up ahead there was a group of Hunters all lined up.
I ran behind the line and slid to a stop. Johnson also slid to a stop in front of the line of Hunters.
The frontline then charged at the beast. They were all much stronger than me but even they struggled to keep up with the speed of the beast.
Only Johnson could truly keep up with it but even then he struggled. And its focus wasn’t even on the group of hunters. Its eyes were locked onto mine.
I could feel the hatred pouring off of it.
Soon though a figure appeared in front of the monster, grabbing it and throwing it off to the side away from the group of hunters.
Its body slammed through several trees before it came to a stop. But the figure was already behind it.
Several attacks rained down onto the prone form of the Alpha, tearing its body apart.
Within a second it was beaten and bloody. My father stood over it looking at it with confusion. Then he followed its gaze, his eyes landing on my terrified face.
Rage seemed to explode within him as he raised his leg and stomped on the beast's head. The ground cratered around his stomp. Tearing the beast apart and destroying the ground around him.
He then promptly appeared in front of me. Kneeling in front of me as he checked me over for injuries.
“What the hell happened?” he asked me calmly.
“I believe we should talk King Avernus,” Johnson said from behind father.
Soon we were in my father’s office, father didn’t want to let me out of his sight until he figured out what happened and so I sat at the side of fathers desk, listening to the two of them talk.
“Recently all across the planet Dungeons have been spewing these monsters, empowered by some kind of red energy. The church contacted the Goddess.
She told them that the world was being attacked by the one that created the dungeons and infested the world with monsters. She explained that she had gotten help from somewhere and that soon we would be capable of fighting back” Johnson explained.
Father sighed as he rubbed his brow “goddamn gods” he mumbled with annoyance.
“So we have to watch out for them now. Okay I’l give you some funds. Set up hunting parties to search every single dungeon around here. I want them all cleared of these creatures. Dungeons that haven’t been cleared for a while are top priority. Bring in Hunters from outside of Averni if you have to. You’ll have the money you need” father said to Johnson.
Branch Leader Johnson immediately nodded before standing up “Benjamin can come and get his E Rank licence tomorrow. Just speak with the receptionist at the front and she’ll help you” father nodded.
Johnson then left.
“I know this won’t stop you and I'm not stupid enough to try and stop you from hunting but you will not be allowed to go without bodyguards. Which brings me to something else” Father said.
“Your mother has contacted an old friend of hers. You will be getting some teaching in Mp usage soon. In a few days your bodyguard and Mp teacher will arrive. She is trusted by me and your mother so we have told her about your unique condition” father explained.
If there was anyone I trusted it was Mother and Father and so I didn’t really care that they told this person. I was excited to start learning how to properly use Mp but something went unsaid.
“So I can’t go hunting until she arrives?” I questioned and father nodded.
I sighed “that’s a pain in the arse… I’ll just have to kick Damien’s arse then” I said with a chuckle.
“I’ll go and get my licence tomorrow, for now I need a bath” Father nodded, he knew I wouldn’t go and try to run off. I wasn’t stupid like that.
I did have quite a few Gacha Tokens I could use, to be exact I had 5 rare+ ones and 5 regular ones.
I soon found myself laid in a nice hot bath. I decided to open some tokens here.

I didn’t know what else to pick, I had three other tokens. The last two were decent and could be useful.
I just shrugged and used all three regular tokens I had left on Special.
Rolling SpecialX3

Rarity Rolling…

Common Special:
1 Upgrade Card
Epic Special:
10 Upgrade Cards
1 Companion Limit Up Card
Huh okay. So I have 16 upgrade cards now which is very nice.
I took the companion limit up card out of my inventory.
It was similar to the upgrade cards. A card with a line across the middle.
Only this one had an image of a person with a + next to their head.
I shrugged before snapping the card in half.
Companions (Limit: 2)
Hobgoblin(Unnamed):
Race: Hobgoblin
Level: 1 (0/1000) (Peasant Tier 1)

I didn’t know if that meant the limit on the amount of companions I can have summoned at once or the limit on how many companions I can have in total.
Rolling Companion(Rare+)X2
Rarity Rolling…
Rarity Rolling…

Rarity Rolled = Legendary

Woah, a Legendary and Epic Companion.
Epic Fictional = Usagiyami Rumi (Mirko MHA)
Legendary Original = [Companion Locked]
What! That’s bullshit, why is my Legendary companion locked!
Also who the fuck is Usagiyami Rumi. Obviously they are from MHA, My Hero Academia but I have never heard of them before. Hell, I don't even know their gender. I quickly pulled up the companion page.
Usagiyami Rumi (Rabbit Hero: Mirko MHA) - Epic:

Level: 10 (0/15000) (Knight Tier 5)
Qi User

What the fuck why can’t I summon her either! This is a ripoff!
I swear to all that is holy give me my companions!
Also you want to see the Legendary one?
Legendary Original Companion
Yep that is all it fucking says!
Whatever. Should we do perks, skills or equipment? This companion shit is busted anyway.
Let’s do one of each, screw it.
Rolling Equipment(Rare+)X1
Rarity Rolling…
Rarity Rolled = Epic
Epic Equipment: Cloak of Stealth
Cloak of Stealth - Epic:
A black cloak that covers most of the wearer's body. It masks energy signatures. Helps the user blend into shadows. When the hood is pulled up, it cloaks the user’s face in shadows.
That is very cool. Could be very useful in the future.

Rarity Rolling…
Rarity Rolled = Rare
Rare Perk: Luminescence
Luminescence - Rare:
The User can emit light from their skin. Lighting up an area around them. It makes them appear as if they are glowing. Can be toggled on and off.

Rarity Rolling…
Rarity Rolled = Rare
Rare Skill = Stealth
Huh
Stealth - Rare(Lvl 1):
The user’s ability to go unnoticed by others, higher the level makes it harder for you to be detected whilst sneaking.
Well that’s convenient. I’m starting to suspect the Gacha isn’t completely random after all. I’ve gotten too many skills that have been immediately useful.
I mean look at WSRSF and Haki. They are Qi Skills and I got them when I could only use Qi, same with Sharingan, which uses Qi as well as Mp.
I have a feeling that I'll never get a Skill or anything that I am incapable of using which makes these Companions all the more confusing.
It soon made sense though.
I felt a massive surge of energy above me. My eyes shot up and locked onto a split in reality. A massive tear in the fabric of reality was hanging in the air above the bath.
I jumped up and glared at the tear. The bath was huge, it was more like a pool.
So I was standing in the bath when something fell through the portal. A humanoid. They fell faster than I could see without the Sharingan.
They slammed into the water sending a surge of water up into the air. I winced at that as the tear in reality slowly closed.
I stared at where the figure was slowly standing up and my eyes widened. I saw a beautiful dark skinned woman. She was around 5ft 2, so not that much taller than my 4ft 5.
Her eyes locked onto mine then onto my naked form, I could see she was about to start asking things but I sensed two people coming towards the bathroom.
So I did the only thing I could think of. My Qi Cloak activated, I grabbed the women by the arm who I only just realised was wearing some type of hero costume.
Then I shoved her into the water and stood on her back to keep her under. She went to shout in protest but I just kept her under as my parents stormed into the room, looking around with panic in their eyes.
“Benjamin!” Father said as his eyes landed on me smiling innocently. “What was that energy surge?” He asked, looking around suspiciously.
“I have no clue what you’re talking about” I said relaxed. Trying my best to keep the random women under the water.
He eyed me suspiciously before letting out a sigh “Please don’t do anything stupid” he said before they both turned and left.
I was about to step off the women and start apologising but she decided she had enough of being underwater and proceeded to try and punch me in the nuts.
I jumped away, out of the bath and onto the tiled floor as the woman stood up quickly taking in a big gulp of air as she glared at me “you little brat!” she shouted as she pointed accusingly at me.
“You tried to punch me in the dick you psychotic bitch!” I shouted back at her.
“You tried to drown me!” She shouted back as we both glared at each other.
“Wait” I said waving my hands “who the hell are you?” I asked.
She didn’t stop glaring at me “Who the hell are you brat?” she countered.
Then I remembered something, pulling up my menu. I saw her flinch as she stared suspiciously at the menu in front of me “what is that?” she asked, confused.
“Does your name happen to be Rumi Usagiyami?” I asked as I pulled her companion page up.
She furrowed her brows at me as I sighed and gestured for her to come over. She did so as she climbed out of the water and walked over “can you put some clothes on brat?” she said with a grimace.
I glared at her “I was having a bath!” I said to her before gesturing to the screen. She scoffed before reading the screen.
I saw her eyes widen in confusion before she collapsed to the floor, screaming in pain as she held her head. She squirmed on the floor for about 15 seconds.
She let out a sigh of relief as the pain she was in seemed to stop. I kneeled down beside her as I tapped her shoulder “hey are you okay?” I asked, concern in my voice.
“You don’t happen to be Benjamin Avernus right?” Rumi asked and I nodded slowly as she got up massaging her temples with a groan.
“I am, how do you know that?” I confirmed.
Rumi let out a sigh of annoyance “That System you have just forced a bunch of knowledge into my head. You’re Benjamin Avernus, a reincarnated soul who is also a system holder. I have been summoned to aid you in your journey. If I help you do whatever you were sent here to do then I can go back to my world with whatever power I gain. So what do you have to do?” she asked as she started stretching, seemingly getting ready for something.
“I have no idea”I say with a sigh as I rub the back of my head.
“How do you not?” she asked, confusion on her face.
I shrugged “I assume we have to close this breach that this rogue god made but I ain’t positive, he never said that's what we were supposed to do, he just hinted at it” I explained, Rumi sighed.
“Well I'm here to help you, I am a Hero after all” she said matter of factly.
“Also the system said you could unsummon me and send me to my own pocket dimension. Apparently I can change it so it is perfect for me to live in” she said with a smirk.
“So send me away! I am tired after all, that knowledge being forced into my head hurts a lot” I did as she asked.
I watched her disappear into blue particles and then let out a sigh.
This just made stuff all the more complicated. I assumed now that the Legendary Companion would appear in a similar way, the difference though was that the legendary one was an Original one so they were from this world.
I had no idea how they would appear but I was now on edge because of it.
Soon I got dressed and found myself laid on my bed when I discovered something new.
‘Hey!... Hey! Can you hear me, it’s Rumi!’ I heard a voice shout in my head.
I glared upwards with a frown “Yes I can hear you now stop shouting” I said with annoyance in my tone.
‘I can speak from here if I wish to, so just call me if you need me. Also what is this Qi Cloak thing, I can see my status as the system refers to it’ Rumi asked.
I sighed “Qi is one of the energies of this world. It can strengthen your physical abilities to insane degrees. Qi Cloak is the most basic technique and application of Qi. I can teach you how to use it soon. You are only Knight Tier 5 after all so we need to make you stronger” I explained.
I got a mental image of her nodding ‘Also there are clothes in here for me so you don’t have to get any, also you can visit if you’d like to. Just use the screens’ she explained.
It was time for bed, today has been a tiring day after all, “goodnight” I said, Rumi replied with a ‘g’night’ of her own.
Soon I fell asleep.
