Chapter 2 – Grinding like never before
I decided to attempt the Tier 1 Dungeon again to see how it differed from having two people.
Quest Acquired:
Zombie ID Tier 1:
The Tier 1 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill all Zombies 0/100
Objective 2: Find and kill Mini-Boss
Rewards: 2500 EXP, ?
So, the number of zombies is doubled, I assume with three people it will be tripled, so that’s 500 EXP from the zombies and 2500 EXP from the Mini-Boss/Quest completion, I didn’t get any EXP from just the Mini-Boss.
When you have people in your party, you don’t gain any EXP from Bosses or Mini-Bosses, to stop you from using someone much more powerful to carry you through levels.
Right so a balancing thing then, cool.
I started walking around, killing any groups I came across, after killing 30 zombies, I remembered about my Upgrade Quests
To use an Upgrade Quest just click on the part where it says it can be upgraded
Telekinesis (Can be upgraded)
Allows you to move a certain amount of weight with your mind.
Top Weight: 10 KG
MP Cost: 50/min
I pressed on where it said it could be upgraded and another menu popped up
Upgrade Quest Acquired:
Telekinesis Upgrade:
Choose One Upgrade from the list
Top Weight Increase
Mp Cost Reduction
Range Increase
Telekinesis has a range?
I can answer that, some skills have a range value that is hidden whilst others have it shown, if you upgrade the skill, it will show the range
Nope I am not bothered in knowing the range, it will probably come and bite me in the arse later but I'll take Mp Cost Reduction, also why are some range values hidden?
I am not sure; you’d have to ask Kami when you next meet him
Right, probably did it to fuck with me
Probably
Upgrade Quest: Telekinesis
Move shit with your mind, it ain’t that hard
Objective: Move objects for 5 minutes - 0/5mins
Reward: MP Cost Reduction
Okay cool, so I'll just move shit as I'm looking for zombies, I’ll count till 40, so I don’t use 100 MP on accident, I want 2 uses of Telekinesis in case I find the Mini-Boss.
I don’t want to accidently run into that little fucker and be caught without any MP.
It took another 3 fucking hours to find and kill the other 70 zombies left
Mini-Boss Approaching
I saw the Spawner down a road, and I immediately charged it, lobbing a big rock at it with Telekinesis, I didn’t want it to start throwing those vials.
The rock hit my target doing 5 damage, taking it to twenty, I was watching it for it to throw one of those rays at me, but it hadn’t yet, I threw another rock at it, taking it down by 3 hp this time.
I had one use of Telekinesis left and so just as it got out of the stupor of getting hit by another rock, I threw another, it managed to dodge this one, but it was meant as a distraction and I was surprised when I unsheathed Shinsetsu and sliced it’s head off.
“What the hell, that was so easy”
I can answer that, it wasn’t able to use the Ray of Sickness because it’s just you and you not letting it throw vials made this fight easy, this is the first dungeon, the starter dungeon basically.
Right, that makes more sense then, now we know its abilities it should be easier to kill for me and Issei, we were caught way off guard the first and to be honest we should have attacked it immediately like I just did instead of standing there like morons.
If Issei didn’t have the Boosted Gear, he would have been killed or almost dead.
Dungeon Complete:
Quest Complete:
Zombie ID Tier 1:
The Tier 1 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill all Zombies 100/100 [Completed]
Objective 2: Find and kill Mini-Boss [Completed]
Rewards: 2500 EXP, STR Stat Crystal
Wait, can I just grind the quests repeatedly?
Nope, you can repeat the quest if you fail it but you can only complete the quest once
But I've done it twice?
One with Issei and one by yourself, there are two quests for every tier, for solo and co-op.
Right, I get it now.
I crush the STR Crystal and open my stat page
Name: Lucifer

Credits: 0
Every 30 mins I now get a use of telekinesis, also the Mini-Boss gave me 200 EXP, the Zombies still gave me 5 EXP per kill, I wonder when I'll gain another Skill, maybe level 10.
I decided to repeat the dungeon and ended up doing it another 3 times before I left and sat on my bed, an hour before anyone else would wake up, 7am.
I need to start doing the next tier of dungeons, since I didn’t even level up once, I'm 200 EXP off a level, since I don’t get the EXP rewards from the quests.
Anyway, it is time to “wake up” and go to school.
Not too long after I was walking beside Issei to school.
“Issei just a heads up” I whispered to him “if we have these powers then other people probably have some as well, something else most people I see are around level 1,2, and 3, but Souna Shitori, the president of the Student Council is level 57, so she is much stronger than us so be careful with her friend, she might have those powers as well”
Issei nodded, looking much more uncomfortable now than before.
Once we arrived at the school, I saw Sona come towards us with a slight frown before it was squashed and she went back to her indifferent face. I can’t tell Issei about Devils or anything since how I would know that information, I have no way to find out.
If I knew those things it would make me suspicious, and I don’t want anyone to know I came from another world.
+5 Affection with Sona Sitri (for getting stronger quickly)
You have unlocked the Reputation system; I will explain later when you get home.
Sona Sitri’s POV
Issei had unlocked his Sacred Gear and Lucifer’s magic had gotten stronger, much stronger than it was, Issei looked stronger physically as well, Lucifer was hard to tell with since he looked like he had trained his body before.
But that large a difference in just a day was shocking, these two must know off the supernatural or at least they know of their Sacred Gears and magic.
I need to talk to Rias about this since it changes things.
At Lucifer’s questioning gaze I spoke “I wanted to make sure you two weren’t late again and that you remembered about your detention later, both of you need to come to the Student Council Room when classes finish, and Rias will meet us there”
At their nods, I turned and walked away. I could feel Issei’s lecherous gaze on me, I was just glad he wasn’t more open about his perversion.
Lucifer seemed more level-headed than his brother, he also looked nothing like his brother, it was obvious one of them was adopted, you’d have to meet their parents to determine which.
I headed to the student council room and asked Momo to go fetch Rias so I could speak to her about this new development
Lucifer’s POV
Classes were just as boring, it was made worse by my INT, I hadn’t realised whilst in the dungeon, but my memory was getting better, I could think clearer, and I wouldn’t get as distracted as I used to.
I think it comes from Gamer’s Mind and my INT, since the system activated, I haven’t felt any negative emotions, when we were fighting and Issei almost died twice, I felt panic and fear, but when I was under fire or surrounded by enemies, I wouldn’t even flinch, and killing them did nothing to me.
I decided to look out for the members of Rias’s Peerage to gauge the power of each member. I will be able to see Sona’s peerage after classes so I can find out their levels then.
Throughout the day I managed to get Rias and her Peerage’s levels, by just seeing them in the hallways, I got lucky, and their levels are these
Rias Gremory LVL 51
Akeno Himejima LVL 49
Koneko Toujou LVL 45
Yuuto Kiba LVL 43
Once School ended me and Issei met up outside of the Student Council Room and knocked on the door once we heard a “come in!” from inside, we both walked in to see Rias, Akeno, Sona, and Sona’s Peerage minus Saji.
I walked up to the desk and sat down on the seat offered, Issei sitting to my left and Rias on my right. I gave Issei a look and he turned to Sona, seeming to understand, everyone else's levels were just as high.
Sona’s peerage were strong compared to us two
Sona Sitri (Souna Shitori) LVL 57
Tsubaki Shinra LVL 53
Momo Hanakai LVL 49
Reya Kusaka LVL 47
Tomoe Miguri LVL 46
Tsubasa Yuri LVL 45
I sighed ‘we both had a long way to go’.
Sona cleared her thought “so Issei will be going with Rias here and Lucifer will be staying here with me for your punishment for being late on the first day”
Rias nodded to Sona, a smile on her face as she gestured for Issei to follow her, he got up and followed her as they left the room, leaving me with Sona and her peerage.
“So, miss Shitori, what am I going to be doing?”
She tilted her head “miss? You don’t use honorifics?” she asked
I nodded “I prefer not to, I'm adopted. Before I was taken in by the Hyoudous, I lived with my birth mother for a year and she and everyone else I met spoke in English, so I was always more used to that language.”
She nodded “okay then, well you will be helping us with some after school work we have to do”
I nodded and she gestured to Momo, who gestured for me to come over to her and I did and thus the hour of menial work started.
I won’t bore you with the details but once the hour was up, Sona asked if I wanted to play a little bit of chess, I told her I never played before, but I would be happy to give it a go.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
I got my ass served to me on a silver platter, she just kept letting me play myself into traps and then taking my pieces, I wanted to grind like hell and come back with a couple hundred points in INT and WIS and see what happened then since I felt that my INT and WIS scores were helping since I saw a bunch of strategies I would have never seen before, it’s just she knew of them before the match even started.
I stood up and smiled at her “well I always thought chess would be boring as hell but I’m happy to say I was proven wrong, even though you brutally beat me into the ground, I'll admit that I had fun”
Sona stood up, a smile on her face “a good sportsman unlike Tsubaki over there”.
I looked back to see Tsubaki give Sona a playful glare before she turned back to the work she was doing, “any way, it was fun, I hope you would come back some time so we could play again” Sona said
I nodded “I will do, at some point but unfortunately I think I'm going to be pretty busy in the days to come” I smiled at her as I walked out of the student council room.
Once I was away from the student council room, I looked at the notifications I got whilst I was playing
+5 Affection with Sona Sitri for being better at chess than a beginner would have been
+5 Affection with Sona Sitri for having good sportsmanship
+5 Affection with Tsubaki Shinra for giving her more material to tease Sona with
I smiled, is there like milestone rewards for certain affection numbers?
Yes, at 50 and 100, if they are at around 15, it means the girl is interested in you, around 30-40 is crush territory, whilst 60-70, is love territory and 100 is pure love and adoration, depending on the girl some may even become obsessed or fanatical.
I nodded and started heading home, I assumed Issei had already left since he wasn’t anywhere around.
Once I got home, I walked in and made something to eat, it seemed everyone else had already eaten, we finished playing chess around 5:30pm so it was about 6pm now.
So, we played for an hour, we did end up playing several games and if I could gain stat points from training, I would’ve probably gained about 3 INT points from those games.
Once I sat down, Issei came into my room and sat on my desk chair “I told Mom and Dad we are going to watch a movie, so if you shove one on and then we can go do some more dungeon runs”
I nodded “yep, I don’t need to sleep anymore so I did another 3 runs of the Tier 1 and it is so much easier with just one person, the Spawner doesn’t throw around those rays which by the way are called Ray of Sickness”
Issei chuckled “yea that seems a lot easier”
I put a random movie on my tv on Netflix and I looked at Issei who nodded at me and then I used ID: Create.
We appeared in the Dungeon and a menu popped up in front of me
Zombie ID Tiers:
Tier 1
Tier 2
I pressed on Tier 1 and the screen disappeared
“Where is the quest?” Issei asked
“You can only do the quest once; Game is there a way to track our progress through the dungeon?”
Yes, just ask me, currently you are at
Zombies 0/200
Mini-Boss 0/1
“Let’s go then” I said, and we set off to go kill every zombie.
After about 2 hours we had managed to kill 132 zombies, but something different happened this time, we found the Mini-Boss before we killed every zombie.
We managed to get into cover by ducking into an alley before it could see us.
“So, what do we do?” Issei asked
“Since you are the fastest, I'll distract it and pull its attention from you, whilst you just blitz it once its attention is on me?” I suggested and Issei nodded
“Sounds good”
I quickly ran out of the alley lobbing a stone at the Spawner zombie, it hit, the Spawner immediately getting mad.
With its attention on me, I moved so it would be facing away from the alley where Issei was, before I threw another stone at it with telekinesis, issei quickly followed by running up behind and punching its head into red mist.
With the Mini-Boss dead, we quickly cleaned up the rest of the zombies and finished the dungeon in another 30 minutes.
“That was so much easier than the last time” Issei said
“Yea it was, say should we try the next tier, we are levelling slow, it might be a good idea to try the next tier of ID and see how much harder It get”
A warning Gamer, whilst the increase in difficulty between Tier 1 and Tier 2 is a decent amount, the increase in difficulty between Tier 2 and Tier 3 is much bigger.
The payoff is that at Tier 3, you can start getting loot chests, as well as the increase in experience gained.
I nodded, I really liked the sound of loot chests. Game can you tell me what rewards you can get in them?
No, I can when you first open one though.
I will tell you how you can get loot chests when you first enter the Tier 3 ID.
“So Issei, should we try it?”
“I’m still raring to go, so let’s do it!” Issei looked excited and ready to fight, he even started shadow boxing, I just sighed at my brother’s antics.
I used the ID Zombie skill and this time picked Tier 2.
We were brought to the same place we were brought to in the Tier 1 ID and a quest immediately popped up.
Quest Acquired:
Zombie ID Tier 2:
This is the Tier 2 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill Zombies 0/600
Objective 2: Kill Zombie Runners 0/50
Objective 3: Kill Zombie Brawlers 0/50
Objective 4: Find and Kill Mini-Boss 0/1
Objective 5: Complete all other objectives to spawn the Tier 2 Boss 0/4
Rewards: 5000 EXP Each, Stat Crystal X2, ?X2, ?X2
“What the actual fuck” I heard Issei say from beside me.
“Game are you shitting me!?”
I told the Gamer that the difficulty would increase a lot
“For fucks sake” Issei sounded defeated already as he slumped down to his knees.
“Huh well shit, looks like we have some work ahead of us”
“Ya fuckin think!” Issei shouted at me as he stood up and started stretching
I just chuckled and summoned and unsheathed Shinsetsu “you were the one complaining about not being able to level fast enough”
Issei just groaned in response as we both started walking looking for our first fight, we found it quickly.
“You’ve gotta be shitting me” Issei sighed out as we saw our first fight.
30 Zombies and 2 new Zombies we hadn’t seen before, one looked slimmer and faster whilst the other was bigger and bulkier, their tags were
Zombie LVL 15
HP = 30/30
MP = 0/0
SP = NA
Zombie Runner LVL 15
HP = 50/50
MP = 0/0
SP = NA
Zombie Brawler LVL 15
HP = 50/50
MP = 0/0
SP = NA
“The two new zombies are runners and brawlers; I assume one is faster and one is stronger” I relayed the information to Issei, and we got ready as the group noticed us.
The Runner immediately charged at us, it could run instead of just stumbling and the Brawler was able to jog slowly, it was slightly faster than the regular zombies.
I thanked Kami that they were still stupid, as I watched Issei boost to his maximum of a 4x, I laughed as he simply side-stepped the Runner and then kicked it into a wall at the side of the road.
It seemed they were still no match for the boosted gear and its bullshit.
The brawler came next, and I left Issei to deal with it and the Runner that had gotten back up, its health down by 30 points.
I quickly charged at the zombie group, they were still slower than me, so when I came close, I killed one in one simple strike of my sword.
Issei’s POV
These fuckers were relentless.
I dodged a swipe from the Runner before having to throw my hands up in a crappy defence as the brawler batted me into a wall. I was surprised when I barely felt any pain, I assumed it was the increased END from my boosts.
The runner charged ahead of the brawler, so I waited for it to get close.
When it did, it tried to swipe for my head, but I dodged relatively easily and punched it in the face, its head promptly exploding into gory pieces.
I almost threw up, but I was distracted as I had to dodge the brawler's big arm coming at me for a swipe. I followed that up with a punch to its head, followed by a kick to its stomach, it did damage but barely moved the brawler.
I ducked under another swipe and delivered an uppercut to it with my gauntleted hand and then followed that up with a jab at its unprotected head, I smiled as its head blew into pieces.
Whilst they both had the same health; the brawler took less damage because of its bulkier form.
After making sure they were dead, I quickly went to go help Lucifer and we cleared them up in about 10 minutes.
The regular zombies were worth 30 exp points now, the runner and brawler were 50 exp.
Me and Lucifer decided that I would handle the brawlers and runners we came across whilst Lucifer would keep the other zombies away from my fight and then we would finish them off together.
I sighed in relief as I had just finished off the last zombie, every regular zombie and every runner/brawler was dead, and we got some real nice exp from that.
In Total we got another 20,800 EXP, I gained 4 levels and Lucifer gained 3 levels.
My stat page looked like this now
Name: Issei Hyoudou
Race: Human
Level: 7 – EXP = 5600/7000
HP: 150/150 HPR: 70/1HOUR
MP: 40/40 MPR: 15/30MINS

STR: 10
END: 10
DEX: 10
INT: 4
WIS: 3
CHA: 4

Stat Points: 20
I put 5 points into STR and DEX and then put the other 10 into END, my status now looked like this
Name: Issei Hyoudou
Race: Human
Level: 7 – EXP = 5600/7000
HP: 300/300 HPR: 140/1HOUR
MP: 40/40 MPR: 15/30MINS

So, I have made an error regarding Issei, here you go
Skill Acquired:
Brawler (Can Be Upgraded)
The ancient art of punching shit.
Increased damage whilst fighting with just your fists = 10%
I sighed; I was glad I had it now, but I could have been upgrading that skill this entire time.
Lucifer’s POV
I chuckled at Issei’s frown.
I had finally finished my Telekinesis Upgrade Quest, so I pulled up the skill
Telekinesis (Can be upgraded)
Allows you to move a certain amount of weight with your mind.
Top Weight: 10 KG
MP Cost: 25/min
I decided to upgrade it again and this time picked the top weight increase since I want to be able to throw zombies at each other since it sounds funny.
Upgrade Quest: Telekinesis
Move shit with your mind, it ain’t that hard
Objective:
Use Telekinesis 10 times 0/10
Use Telekinesis for 5 minutes 0/5
Reward: Top Weight Increase
Hey game, can we can get a break before the mini boss?
Nope
Ah... shit
Mini Boss incoming
As we looked down the street we stood on, I was overcome with terror, as 5 of those Spawner zombies started stumbling down the street, I heard issei gulp.
“Yo Issei, you think these guys weigh less than 10kg so I can toss them into the sky and be done with it?”
“As much as I would love to see that shit... I don’t think they do”
“Ah... bummer”
Even though it was unlikely I tried to do it, pulling on that mental switch I always felt, I tried to lift one of the spawners and toss it away, two things happened, two notifications popped up
TK Error: Out of range
TK Error: Exceeds Weight Limit
Huh, I get error messages... cool
That’s just because you are beta testing, it helps us identify faults in the system.
Ah okay, time to focus on the hell storm in front of me
Due to getting an error message hidden stat of TK has been unlocked
Telekinesis (Can be upgraded)
Allows you to move a certain amount of weight with your mind.
Top Weight: 10 KG
MP Cost: 25/min
Range: 10 Metres
Okay, well if I had to guess, they look to be about 20 metres out.
“So, Issei, they most likely have a few more tricks since there is two of us and this is tier 2, so we need to be careful” as I spoke, I picked up a rock and threw it at one of them who easily dodged “and they’re better at dodging”.
Alright I decided to try something, I had the idea I could do more with Telekinesis, because instead of grabbing stuff with my mind and just moving it, it felt like my MP was changed into a different energy and then that wrapped around the object I wanted to pick up.
I assume that’s why there is a range since that energy could probably only go so far away from my body.
So I called on Telekinesis, flipping that mental switch and instead of focusing and willing it to grasp an object, I willed it to take shape just on top of my palm as I lifted it up.
And I couldn’t see anything, but I could feel the ball of what I'm going to call Psychic Energy floating above my palm, I could feel the connection between my mana and it, I could feel where in my body my mana was changed which was about halfway.
My mana felt like it originated in my stomach, but whenever I tried to grab at it, I felt it kind of dodge my grasp no matter how hard I tried.
I focused back onto the ball before I raised my hand and pointed my hand at one of the spawners, aiming as best I could and then I used some of the Psychic Energy or PE, to push the ball in the direction of the zombie.
I watched for something since I couldn’t see the ball and I saw as a car about 5 metres behind the zombie suddenly had a sizable dent on its hood.
I smiled as I did the process again and created another before adjusting my arm and supporting my arm with my other arm before I fired it at the same zombie.
A few seconds passed and the zombie suddenly had a hole taken out of its torso, it wasn’t centred so the small amount of skin connected to the chest of the zombie just couldn’t support it so it kind of toppled over and the zombie fell down dead.
Telekinesis: Psychic Blast
A ball of psychic energy which is blasted from the palm of the hand.
Damage: 100
Mp Cost: 150
Range: 30 Metres
Ah fuck, I probably should have watched my MP, I have already used it twice and I only have 310 MP
“Issei I can’t use that again, until an hour passes, so we can either run and find somewhere safer to camp or we fight”
“Let’s play it safe, I do not feel like fighting these guys and I want to save my strength for the boss”
I nodded and we quickly turned around and jogged away, the zombie Spawners only threw one bottle which spawned 3 runners who were quickly taken care of by Issei.
This continued until my mp was filled and then I shot and killed two more of the Spawners.
We did the same thing until my mp was filled and then we killed the last two.
Issei managed to level up and was now at level 8, he put his stat points into dex to bring it to 20 and I got close but didn’t manage to get a level.
But we completed the quest!
Zombie ID Tier 2:
This is the Tier 2 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill Zombies 600/600
Objective 2: Kill Zombie Runners 50/50
Objective 3: Kill Zombie Brawlers 50/50
Objective 4: Find and Kill Mini-Boss 1/1
Objective 5: Complete all other objectives to spawn the Tier 2 Boss 4/4
Rewards: 5000 EXP Each, ?X2, ?X2, ?X2
Rewards Gained: 5000 EXP, INT Stat Crystal, 5 Tier 2 Health Potions, Zombie Slayer Sword
I smiled; I quickly crushed the int stat crystal, before taking a tier 2 health potion out of my inventory which I could operate mentally like the rest of my system.
The Tier 2 Health potion healed 25% of HP when fully drunk.
The Zombie Slayer sword had 30 damage but did an extra 100% damage against the zombie monster type, so it did the exact same damage as Shinsetsu who was sitting at a whopping 60 damage.
Maybe I could dual wield, I took out the ZS Sword and attempted to swing both one after the other, it felt incredibly uncomfortable, so I sheathed Shinsetsu and went over to Issei
“Hey Issei, want a sword that does 30 damage and does double damage to zombies?” Issei’s head snapped in my direction, and he quickly snatched the sword from my hand.
He then went back to staring at his screens, so I walked away and let him be.
Issei’s POV – a few minutes before
Zombie ID Tier 2:
This is the Tier 2 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill Zombies 600/600
Objective 2: Kill Zombie Runners 50/50
Objective 3: Kill Zombie Brawlers 50/50
Objective 4: Find and Kill Mini-Boss 1/1
Objective 5: Complete all other objectives to spawn the Tier 2 Boss 4/4
Rewards: 5000 EXP Each, ?X2, ?X2, ?X2
Rewards Gained: 5000 EXP, INT Stat Crystal, 5 Tier 2 Mana Potions, a choice
A choice what the hell is that
A choice between a skill or a piece of Armor. Choose.
Well, that seems like a no brainer, the skill is the obvious choice, wait what if I get a shit skill like cleaning, then the Armor would be the better choice no doubt.
Then what if I get an op skill like some fire-based skill or something to boost my damage or speed even more.
Fuck it.
I chose Skill and then one of those metres came up that started scrolling down a list, I barely realised Lucifer gave me a sword that did more damage to zombies, I was too focused on the metre.
It started slowly coming to a stop before it stopped on a Skill called Fire Imbue.
Skill Unlocked:
Fire Imbue (Cannot be upgraded):
Fire Imbue allows you to imbue your fists or a weapon with the element of fire.
Effects:
Whatever you imbue will do 50% of its damage as extra fire damage.
Costs: 50MP
A heads-up Issei the Fire Damage will only work against those who are weak to it or neutral to fire, enemies who are resistant to fire won’t take the extra damage. Also, enemies who are neutral will only take 25% extra damage.
I nodded before I realised, I was very lucky as I crushed the int stat crystal bring my int to 9 and my MP to 90, the Mana Potions recovered 25% of your mp so me and Lucifer quickly switched he gave me 3 health potions and I gave him 3 mana potions.
We both kind of fell into two roles, I was the tank and close-range fighter whilst Lucifer supported me with his class abilities and his sword and once he gets higher mp, I assume he will go to a more long-range support.
Are you both ready for the boss?
“Wait, we have a break?” Lucifer asked
Yes
We decided to rest and regenerate our health and mp bars before we told the game we were ready.
