The Psychic Gamer 2.0
I slowly came to as I opened my eyes and saw darkness. I reached over to my right trying to feel for my phone when I realised, I felt solid ground, not dirt or flooring, just a flat ground that both felt like solid ground and air, I quickly pushed myself up, my drowsiness disappearing.
My gaze swept over the darkness trying to discern anything about where I was or what I was doing here.
“Sorry for the wait” a calm and blissful sounding voice reached my ears; it calmed my rising panic instantly.
I turned to see where the voice came from and just a heads up, I'm not gay but the voice seemed to come from a ridiculously handsome man that looked to be in his early twenties since there wasn’t a single sign of ageing anywhere on his face.
The man had long shining white hair, he stood at a solid 6ft, his body looked like he stepped straight out of dragon ball with the Super Saiyan God transformation active, lean and slim yet somehow still muscley.
However, the most eye-catching thing was not his bullshit good looks, in fact it was his eyes that appeared to house mini galaxies in them. When my eyes met his, I felt a wave of calm wash over me like I was in the presence of THE God.
He clicked his fingers as two sofas facing each other with a coffee table in the middle appeared out of thin air.
He plopped down on one of the sofas and stared at me motioning for me to sit opposite of him and when I didn’t move still reeling from this experience that I somehow just know is real, he simply clicked his fingers and the next thing I knew I was sat across from him a coffee cup filled with the nectar of the gods resting in my hands.
He smiled at me “I know this may be hard for you to adjust to so whilst we are waiting for you to get used to all of me why don’t we play Uno, just a heads up I suck at this game and the last time I lost I may or may not have accidently erased a universe or two.” he chuckled to himself as if erasing universes was the same as sulking because of a loss.
“I'm good, I’d rather just be told what is going on” I replied, he nodded at my reply and gestured to himself.
“My name is Kami, I am often referred to as The First, simply because I was the first being to ever exist, everything you know about, I created, time, space, atoms, all of it was created by me, I am the most powerful being in existence and I reside over all of existence, and you are a Human that died on the Planet Earth, your death was pretty horrific so I won't be allowing you to see it since I kind of need you to be sane”.
It was a shock to hear I was dead but being in Kami’s presence just washed away my panic. I can’t describe it, my bad emotions like my sadness or my panic were just erased “this is really weird” I heard Kami chuckle.
“I know this is a shock to you usually you would be just thrown into the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn anew, but I have been dabbling with something for quite a while, an experiment if you will, I have been taking Human’s souls, making a new body for them and bringing them here to give them an option, instead of being reborn, I offer them the chance to be a Gamer and yes I am talking about the overpowered reality breaking power and I am ready to bring it to the next level”.
Kami clicks his fingers and I feel something unlock within my body, a Bing sound and a semi translucent screen popped up in my vision.

My eyes widened as I saw what was in front of me, my biggest dream coming true before my very eyes, I heard a chuckle from Kami “that’s why you were chosen by me because you knew a lot about the Gamer System and that the one thing you had wanted most of your life ever since reading about being a Gamer, was to be a Gamer and travel the Omniverse, so that is what you will do” Kami spoke as I kept trying to process what was happening.
“Firstly, there are some new additions to your system that other Gamers do not have access to such as you do not have the Observe Skill, but you do have a HUD feature, there is also your Class System, all other Gamers don’t have classes they get skills by figuring out how to do them or if they have a high enough proficiency”
“A bit of an explanation before we get down to brass tax, you are going to be a sort of beta tester, I want to roll this system around to all other gamers, but I need to see how it measures up to the original system, because your power scaling might be completely different to other Gamers and so I will be locking all multiplayer content away from you until I feel I have a grasp on where you fit in the hierarchy, if you get too strong too fast, I'll have to nerf it and try it with another host or if you’re okay with restarting from scratch then I'll use you again.”
Kami looked at me, seeming to be asking for a reaction “the only thing I have a question about is the whole multiplayer thing”
He let out an almost musical chuckle “yep, all of you ask about that first, literally all of you since I usually get people that at least know of games. Anyway most of the multiplayer content are raids that would be incredibly difficult for you until you have maxed at least 4 classes, there is some pvp stuff, but I can’t be bothered releasing a patch to fix the balancing issues so I wouldn’t recommend that and finally every now and then I do an event for all players, I once did a battle royale/hunger games style of event which was incredibly fun”
I was shocked, I hadn’t read any gamer fanfictions that included multiplayer features. I know there was a rwby one, but I never got around to reading it.
“Okay so can I just ask what the benefits of this new system are?” I asked
“Ah another info dump, great” he chuckled “so the old system is much more versatile and isn’t restricted to classes and what they focus on, for example someone could dabble in necromancy and then go and fuck around with pyromancy the next hour, you however must get a class to a certain level before you can switch, they also choose where their stat points go, yours get auto assigned based on the class you get them from.”
“There is more but that would be spoiling so I will let you figure them out. So instead of doing a basic tutorial which I have grown to be bored of, I am just going to give you the knowledge you would receive from a tutorial and then I will let you pick a class and give you a practice fight and then off to your preselected first world”
When he finished speaking knowledge was forced into my head, it didn’t feel uncomfortable or painful, I just kind of knew more stuff now.
What he had given me was the knowledge of the system.
“Before we pick my class can I have a quick look over the system?” I asked and he nodded.
So, what I'll do is just to go over the information I have in my head, I'll bring the stat sheet and talk myself through it.

So, at the top is my name which when I clicked on it, said I could pick a first name and I quickly settled on Lucifer. I liked it mainly because it sounded nice to say so I'd feel good about myself whenever I introduce myself.
Name: Lucifer
Next is my race which I don’t have a clue about.
Next is Level, class and secondary class which are self-explanatory.
HP, SP and MP are next which are Health Points, Stamina Points and Mana Points, their regen rates next to them.
Next are my stats:
Strength (STR): A measure of my physical prowess, the power my muscles can exert, etc.
Endurance (END): A measure of my body’s defences, the strength of my immune system, my skin, bones, etc. As well as my stamina.
Dexterity (DEX): A measure of my body’s nimbleness, my senses and my hand-eye coordination and my speed.
Intelligence (INT): A measure of my intelligence, the ability to store and recall information, to see certain things and be able discern properties of that thing. Also affects mana amount and magic power.
Wisdom (WIS): A measure of one's ability to use information at hand, ability to observe people and work things out about things. Also, it affects mana regeneration.
Charisma (CHA): Discerns how other people see me and react towards me, how easy it is for people to like me. Helps raise REP/AFF scores.
Luck (LUC): This determines what random encounters you have, what loot quality you have, has a max value.
Final part of the stat page is Credits. I asked Kami what these were, and he said to ask about the game when I got sent to my first world.
“Are you finished?” Kami asked and when I nodded, a new screen popped up
Class Selection:
[Mage] [Fighter] [Rogue] [Life]
I decided to check out Mage first
[Mage]:
[Elementalist] [Healer] [Druid] [Necromancer] [Summoner] [Psychic]
So, I am a hundred percent picking a mage class and I know exactly what I'm picking, it’s Psychic, for a starter there are so many incredibly powerful psychics out there and I haven’t seen it much on gamer fanfictions, so I pressed the Psychic option.
Class Gained: Psychic
Skills Gained: Telekinesis
I quickly navigated to my skills and clicked on my new skill
Telekinesis (Can be upgraded)
Allows you to move a certain amount of weight with your mind.
Top Weight: 10 KG
MP Cost: 50/min
Damn only 10 KG to start with, it does say it can be upgraded that must be the upgrade quest's part.
Kami cleared his throat to get my attention and then said “you can mess around with the UQ when you get into your first world, for now it’s time to fight Tutorial Terry”
“Tutorial Terry” I asked
“Just be glad you don’t have to deal with terrible terry, also if you find a glitch and don’t report it but do abuse it you will have to deal with Terrible Terry, and he doesn’t fuck around”
I decided to not to pry any further and turned when Kami gestured behind me as a regular wooden training dummy appeared in front of me, a smiley face drawn on its face.
“Have fun fighting” he walked back to the sofas and sat down as I turned to terry.
I realised my HUD feature was working and decided to take a quick look at it in my skills
Gamer’s HUD (LVL MAX)
Grants the user a heads-up-display which will show the name, level and a health bar for any creature in your field of vision, it will appear above a creature's head.
The Gamer’s HUD also allows you to see your own HP, MP, and SP bars wherever you want them to be shown as well as an experience bar.
I wanted my bars to be at the top left and they all quickly appeared at the top right, I didn’t have an experience bar before on my stat sheet, so I was surprised it was here.
I looked at my stat sheet and realised I now had exp as well as stats per level
Class: Psychic (LVL 1) - EXP = 0/1000 - 3 INT, 2 WIS/LVL
It must have appeared with my class.
Quest Acquired:
Tutorial Terry
Tutorial Terry is here to kick your ass, kick his arse back.
Objective: Defeat Tutorial Terry
Rewards: ?
I looked at the text above Terry’s head and it read
Tutorial Terry LVL 1
HP = 20/20
I swiped away any notifications and got into a loose stance before I charged at Terry and went to punch it in the face, it replied by slipping the hit and clubbing me around the head with its wooden arm.
This continued for about 20 minutes as I realised whenever my health decreased to around half, it just refilled.
So, I decided to test something and turned to the coffee table, Kami was still sitting at, and I tried to pick it up with telekinesis and throw it at Terry, I only just managed to, and I felt my MP decrease all the way which was uncomfortable.
The table soared and slammed into Terry, his health dropped by 19, so whilst he was reeling from that attack I ran up and planted a punch straight at his face, I managed to hit for once and that was the last bit of damage as his body burst into blue particles.
Quest Completed:
Tutorial Terry
You got your arse kicked but you managed to pull a win out of your ass, well done.
Objective: Defeat Tutorial Terry

I felt my MP refill back to max and I felt it increases in size, I saw the MP bar increase to 80 MP and so I pulled up my stats page

I smiled and turned back to Kami who smiled “took you long enough” he spoke with a huge smirk on his face
“arsehole” was all I said as I sat down on the sofa opposite of him
“So, you beat the tutorial, well done anyway a background has been created for your first world, I decided to have a bit of fun with it so you will be a big player in the future just so you know, you cannot avoid the plot because that is boring for me, so I wouldn’t try it” I nodded
“Anyway, I will give you two gifts, one will be explained to you when you arrive in the world but the other you will find out about when the system unlocks when your seventeen”
My eyes snapped to him “don’t tell me...” he nodded solemnly
“Yep, you must relive your life, your gift you will still have, and you don’t need the system to access it so have fun, I'll probably see you soon.”
He clicked his fingers and I vanished in a flash of light
I woke up somewhere unfamiliar, all I could hear was something muffled crying, but I quickly realised the crying was coming from me. I was in an old looking Japanese temple, and who I assumed to be my mother was holding me in my arms.
I don’t know why but when I saw her face, I couldn’t get it out of my head, I felt so at peace within her arms, and I hadn’t realised I stopped crying which caused my new mother to smile at me, and I just melted in her arms.
But it didn’t last long as an old looking man came sprinting into the room we were in, a younger looking man running behind him, my vision was still blurry so I couldn’t discern what they looked like but I heard some things
The old guy said “the devils... he needs to survive... for the survival of our race” that’s all I could hear, my mother said nothing and the young man I couldn’t hear.
But I had no time to listen to them since a huge red blast ripped through the wall, the old man casually waved a hand, batting away the massive destructive blast as I saw two men walk in.
My mother looked terrified, the young man wasn’t faring any better “get out of here” the old man said to my mom and the young man.
The man helped my mother up and she put me on her shoulder facing behind before she turned and started walking.
That’s when I saw one of the men raise a spear of light and launch it at us, but the old man just appeared next to it and snatched it from the air before crushing it like it was nothing
They started speaking but I couldn’t hear since my mother had left the room and I slowly succumbed to my sleepiness.
17 Years Later
I shot up from my bed remembering that horrible first night of my life, it plagued my dreams, but soon I'll have Gamer’s Mind and it won’t be a problem anymore.
I got up out of my bed and stretched out my limbs before walking to the bathroom which was out of my door and just opposite my bedroom, I quickly brushed my teeth and turned on the shower.
Undressing and stepping into the shower before I started to reminisce about my life thus far.
I woke up not that long after I fell asleep, and I realised my mother and young man who I now realised was my father were being chased, we came to a forest clearing and the one guy who wielded a sword, who was chasing us caught up.
My father jumped in and blocked a hit from the man’s sword that was aimed for him.
My father spun and hit the man with a roundhouse straight to the face and sent him flying through several trees. My father turns to us and smiles as he walks up and kisses my mother on the forehead as she starts crying.
He turned to me and kissed me on the forehead as well “I love you son, you’re the future of our race, I'm just sad I probably won’t be there to see what you accomplish”
My mother started crying more before she put me back on her shoulder, turning and getting ready to run before she gave a longing look back to her husband and he gave her a sweet smile and disappeared as he engaged in a fight with the sword wielding man.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Me and my mother ran after for a year straight before we came to a town called Kuoh, she decided she didn’t want me to live like this, so she brought me to a house with a note in my hands and kneeled In Front of me before placing a hand on my stomach, a black tattoo forming under a blue glow.
She smiled “I have placed a seal on you, the Devils and Fallen won't be able to find you, unfortunately that means I had to seal your race, but I want you to live a normal life”
I started crying even though I had the mental age of an 18-year-old. I still couldn’t stop myself, I wrapped my arms around her neck and was afraid to let go in case she disappeared.
She hugged me back before prying my arms from around her “look get strong, when you’re strong enough, come find me, I will be waiting for you and I can’t wait to see how strong my baby boy gets, I'll lead the devils away from you” she turned to the door and knocked frantically on it.
She seemed to hear something since the wolf ears on her head started to twitch and she nodded giving me one last hug before she just blurred and disappeared.
I haven’t seen my mother since that night, afterwards I was taken in by the Hyoudou family, and I grew up together with Issei who is surprisingly my best friend and yes, I am talking about the High school DxD issei.
I stepped out of the shower and looked down, seeing the tattoo on my stomach. It was weird, no one could see it, Issei couldn’t, our parents couldn’t.
Anyway, enough of that onto the gift Kami gave me, when me and my mother found someplace safe to sleep in for a few days, I got a game message from Kami telling me I could create my own sacred gear and I would be able to use it.
The problem is I created one but because I thought of so many things, I wanted it to do, I'm not actually sure how to do any of them, but it comes in the form of a Katana, once I get the system, I can look at its abilities.
The other gift Kami spoke of was my looks.
Anyway, I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror “I still can’t get over my looks”.
Kami gifted me some very good looks, my face was perfect for lack of a better word, symmetrical, it was defined and my skin was incredibly smooth, my eyes were a bright blue that just shined, and my hair was a bright white.
I looked good and thanks to training my body in preparation for the Gamer system and the plot.
So, my body was in really good shape as well, I had abs and muscles, but they weren’t bulky, I was lean, again it was for the system because I want to go for swordsman/mage build, mainly because of my Sacred Gear.
Banging came from the door to my left as I heard someone shout from behind it “stop masturbating to yourself pretty boy, others need the bathroom!” I heard my brother shout, so I walked over and opened the door as I smiled at my brother who looked like shit.
“Another late-night raid or something?” I asked “something” he replied looking absolutely drained of energy “you should get some sleep for the first day of school tomorrow or Mom will kick your arse” he nodded and walked over to the sink, splashing water onto his face and sighing in relief.
“I can’t wait to go to Kuoh Academy, so many hot girls, maybe I'll get laid for once” he groaned out and I shrugged as I leaned on the doorframe and crossed my arms “maybe you will, you never know, I mean maybe one of the girls In that school will like your charming personality”.
He shrugged in reply before he shooed me out of the bathroom “you can stay if you want but you will see me nude” he wiggled his eyebrows at me suggestively before I sighed “this is what I mean, if you go around wiggling your eyebrows at every girl who smiles at you, you will get put on the sex offender register” he flipped me off before slamming the door in my face.
I chuckled as I walked back to my room and sat in my desk chair.
Issei is nothing like he was in anime and that is because of my manipulation, if I had to deal with that Issei for all my life, I would’ve killed him and then myself but luckily, I managed to manipulate him into being more like me and my old friends.
Which is why he would never peep on girls and why he doesn’t like guys that do that, but he always says if he finds a girl peeping on him who's hot, he’ll give them a show.
He isn’t as open about his perverseness, but he is brash as fuck and doesn’t care about what people think of him so he will say whatever he is thinking but he does have boundaries he won’t cross and usually if he says something he means it like a joke.
Any way my seventeenth is today and it's when I finally unlock my system and can finally fucking see what my Sacred gear does besides slice shit good.
After checking my emails, I leave my room and head downstairs and I start to make some bacon and eggs, by the time I have finished and started setting the table with some toast as well as the bacon and eggs.
I sit down and start eating my toast as Issei comes down, drying his hair with a towel, clothed.
He walked over to the table after throwing the towel into a washing basket, he sat down beside me and started eating his bacon and eggs.
We have an agreement, if he doesn’t try cooking ever again, I will cook his food for him, he almost burned the house down, I swear his cooking skill is in the negatives.
We finished eating and our parents came down about 3 hours later “you guys had an active night last night huh?” Issei asked, like I said he doesn’t give a fuck.
“Yep son, your mother sure knows what she's doing” our father said, I knew what made Issei so perverted, our parents were worse than he was, they just had each other to perv on so they never got in trouble like he did.
What followed was Issei asking too much and getting a slap on the back of the head from mother.
Then an argument followed where he got slapped again and then we started having my party, we ended up getting drunk and had a great time in which me and Issei fell down the stairs twice trying to get to our beds since our parents stole the sofa.
I helped Issei into his bed and then went to mine and fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up with a slight headache “I fucking love not feeling like I wanted to die after a night of drinking like I used to feel”.
That’s when I noticed something in my vision
Hello Gamer, it’s nice to finally be able to meet you
Yes, it is finally, wait what do I say again... ‘menu?’

Only things that have changed there are the sealed race and the last name.
OH SHIT, my sacred gear, I went to my skill list, and I realised it had changed it had separate tabs to click on which categorised skills and organised them, my Sacred Gear was under the Special Skills tab, so I clicked on it
Sacred Gear: (Not Named) - LVL 2
The Sacred Gear of Lucifer the Gamer, a 31-inch Katana with a wooden sheath that went brought out appears on Lucifer’s left waist in which he can draw the sword from.
The blade has a howling wolf just above the guard which has a star pattern on it.
The sword can level with the user, granting it stat increases, damage increases and special abilities at certain levels.
Damage: 25
Stat Increases: None
Abilities: None
Okay damn, I likey likey.
I want to know what the hell these special abilities are though, guess I'll find out at a later date. I summoned my sacred gear and pulled the sword out of the sheath and spun it a little as I felt its weight again, it felt better now for some reason.
Anyway, what do I name it, oh I know
Sacred Gear: Shinsetsu - LVL 2
The Sacred Gear of Lucifer the Gamer, a 31-inch Katana with a wooden sheath that went brought out appears on Lucifer’s left waist in which he can draw the sword from.
The blade has a howling wolf just above the guard which has a star pattern on it.
Shinsetsu can level with the user, granting it stat increases, damage increase and special abilities at certain levels.
Damage: 25
Stat Increases: None
Abilities: None
I chuckled to myself as I saw the name, I'll let you figure it out why it's funny to me if you want to.
As I was spinning the sword around and practising swinging it around.
I did completely forget I wasn’t alone in this house, so I was both surprised and not when Issei came bursting into my room and slamming the door shut “we’re going to be late, and mom and dad are still out cold downstairs!” he shouted as he stormed in.
He stopped as he saw me froze in place with a badass katana in my hands “oh shit that’s cool as fuck, was it a gift from dad?” he asked as he walked over and stared at the blade fascinated with it.
“Yep, he got me it” I nodded, before I sheathed the sword and put the sheath and sword next to my desk.
“Anyway, we should probably get ready for school then, weren’t we supposed to meet the Student Council President” I asked, and Issei got an ‘oh shit’ look on his face
“I have already got showered, you get showered, I’ll go take some money from mom and dad for lunch and I'll wake them up and get them to make some toast for us to eat on the go” he spoke as he ran from the room.
15 minutes later, Issei and I were dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform running to school whilst eating some toast.
We arrived in about 7 minutes of straight sprinting, and we stopped at the entrance of the school as we looked around for the president, well Issei was, I was looking for Sona Sitri.
“I have been waiting for you two for 20 minutes” we heard a stern voice say from behind us and we turned around, Issei jumping behind me frightened and me dropping into a karate stance with my palm facing outwards.
But we both weren’t expecting Sona to be so beautiful, honestly the show didn’t do her justice, she was gorgeous, she destroyed any supermodel from my previous life in looks and the glasses she wore just made her look all the better
I stood straight up, and Issei came out from behind me. I could see him staring at her legs, his eyes trailing her body, so I quickly raised my hand and slapped him on the back of the head to get him out of his daze.
“We are very sorry we were so late, miss” I did a slight bow since I had just seen the text above her head and well look
Sona Sitri (Souna Shitori) LVL 57
Her tag I guess didn’t have hp, mp or sp values just the bars so I couldn’t tell how much more she had than me but since she was level 57 and I assumed devils get better bonuses which means she is most likely much stronger than me.
“Hell, if I knew you were waiting I-” I cut Issei off with an elbow to his ribs which caused him to double over and hold his side.
She sighed as she walked towards the entrance of the school and gestured to us to follow “oh by the way I want both of you to come to the Student Council Room after classes have finished to talk about your punishment”.
As she walked away Issei couldn’t help himself and grabbed my arm pointing at her arse and mouthed the words ‘holy shit’.
I just facepalmed.
Sona’ POV
As I left the two new male students to their classroom after showing them around the school, explaining all the facilities to them.
I could tell that Issei was brash and spoke his mind and that his brother, Lucifer kept him in line whenever he started to step over it.
But the most interesting thing is the fact that both have Sacred Gears, I have absolutely no idea what Lucifer’s could be, but Issei’s felt Draconic in nature, so he most likely has a Twice Critical.
I sent Tsubaki to go fetch Rias and to tell her I had some important news for my friend.
I didn’t have to wait long for Tsubaki to bring Rias and Akeno into the Student Council room, they sat across from me, Tsubaki moving and standing behind me.
“What was so important, Sona?” Rias asked as she smiled at me
“The two new students that I just showed around, both have Sacred Gears, one has a draconic feel to his and the other I'm not sure about, you don’t have much time left on your engagement so I figure you would want first crack at one of them” I said
“Well then, I think I'm going to be here for a bit longer than I thought then” Rias said followed by a smile.
Lucifer’s POV
Classes were so boring. I had done this shit before, so it wasn’t anything new to me and it was incredibly easy. Me and Issei were sitting next to each other In class, so I helped him whenever he asked.
When we went to lunch though is when some interesting stuff started happening, I noticed Koneko, Kiba, and Momo from Sona and Rias’s peerages
I couldn’t say for certain if they were watching us, but I was pretty sure they were.
Anyway, every class was the same, just incredibly easy thanks to my prior knowledge from my previous life.
So, when the end of the day came, we both left class and headed to the Student Council office after asking some other students for directions.
When we arrived, I knocked on the door and once I heard a come in from the other side, I opened the door and walked in, followed by Issei.
“Lucifer, Issei, please take a seat” Sona gestured to the two seats across from her at her desk, we walked over and sat down
“So first of all, how were your first days at Kuoh Academy?” Sona asked
Issei just nodded as if saying it was okay
I sighed “it was relatively easy but that’s because I studied ahead when in middle school, everything else was good though, also sorry about my brother here, he isn’t very sociable” I sent a glare at Issei who shrugged with a sheepish smile.
“Anyway, for being late to school, tomorrow after classes have finished Issei, you will go to the ORC clubroom and help my friend Rias who is the president of the club with anything she needs and Lucifer you will be doing the same thing but instead it will be here with me”
I nodded; I had a thought that it was probably because they had discovered our Sacred Gears, but I wasn’t sure, I mean the only person I would consider becoming a peerage member of would be Rias, I’m not that prideful so I wouldn’t mind being her servant, but I would take advantage of her desperation to get a good deal.
Anyway, after that Sona let us go and when we left, I decided I didn’t want to have to be scared throughout my entire time here and from Kami’s threat?
So, I decided not only to be strong enough myself, but I would also make Issei strong enough to not have to worry either.
I will start with telling Issei about his Sacred Gear and helping him unlock it and then power levelling.
Game, can Issei gain exp from the IDs
No, but if you make him a permanent party member then he will gain some small features of the game
Right
Before we went inside, I told Issei I had something important to tell him and that I wanted him to come to my room when our parents went to bed.
When I got to my room, I expected Shinsetsu to still be next to my desk, but it wasn’t which meant it either de summoned itself after a period passes or if I get far enough away from it
I just sat at my desk and played some games until Issei came into my room and quietly shut the door behind himself “so why did you want me to come here?”
I stood up and gestured for him to sit down on my bed and he did, then I summoned Shinsetsu and watched as his eyes widened as the sword and sheath materialised at my waist, the sheath connected to my waist by some invisible force.
“I am not sure how I got this, but it isn’t a normal sword, I can feel it inside me like it's connected to my soul and I can feel that you have something similar as well”.
He stared at me “are you being serious?” he asked, and I nodded, and he stood up “so then how do I get mine to come out”
“First you must unlock it, which usually comes from great emotional stress, I unlocked mine from something that happened before I came here and was taken in by our parents”
“You also need to know how to activate, you just need to imagine the strongest person you know and raise your left hand, I think anyway”
I extended my hand “grab my hand, I have a place we can practise and talk without anyone hearing anything else” he nodded, and then I brought us into an empty ID.
We appeared in an exact replica of my room except it was eerily quiet, no wind, no animals, just nothingness.
“I brought us into a separate dimension, now it's time to tell you of another power I have, I am the Gamer, my life is like an RPG game, levels, stats, skills, all of it”
Issei’s eyes widened to comical levels “that is so cool!” he shouted
Game add Issei as a permanent party member
Issei Hyoudou added as ppm
1 of 5 slots used
Issei flinched as I saw the words appear in his vision “and now you have access to some of those features”
“Game, can you tell us what features he has access to?”
Of course, Issei if you say stats, you can access your stats page, whenever you level you will gain 5 stat points in which you can spend on whatever stats you want.
Also, Gamer you can also see his stats.
I went to my Menu and a new section popped up
MENU

I pressed on Party and this screen showed up

I pressed on Issei’s name and a stat page popped up

Then I opened his skills, Issei copying me

“So, you do have one” I said, and he nodded
“Game, can Issei use Upgrade Quests?”
Yes, but it takes one of your slots and it can only be used on skills gained through the game
I nodded “okay should we attempt a Zombie Dungeon?” I asked Issei and he nodded.
I raised my hand and changed the dungeon and since Issei was in my party now, he didn’t have to hold my hand.
We appeared in a ruined city, it wasn’t Kuoh, just a random city.
“So, this is a Zombie Dungeon?” Issei asked and I nodded
Quest Acquired:
Zombie ID Tier 1:
The Tier 1 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill all Zombies 0/200
Objective 2: Find and kill Mini-Boss
Rewards: 2500 EXP Each, ?, ?
I nodded and turned to Issei “looks like we just gotta kill them all” he nodded, and we both just started walking down the street.
Broken down and busted cars littered the streets, small fires all over the place, the buildings were all pretty much ruins, the ones that were still standing looked ready to fall over, typical zombie apocalypse setting.
After about a minute of walking we came to an intersection, the traffic lights had all fallen, one pole was broken like something had crashed into it and in the middle of the intersection, there was a group of 5 zombies.
I summoned Shinsetsu and unsheathed the blade and held it how I thought I should, the blade facing towards the group, the tag above their heads read
Zombie LVL 5
HP = 10/10
MP = 0/0
SP = NA
5 EXP
“I don’t know if you can see the tags above their heads but if you can’t, they have 10 HP and are all LVL 5, be careful, they probably have high strength” I said to Issei, and he nodded as he started walking forward.
We split up, I went to the left side of the group and Issei went right, 3 zombies came my way whilst two went Issei’s way “you don’t have a weapon so be careful Issei” he nodded as he got into a basic stance with his fists raised.
I took my focus off Issei and switched it to the zombies in front of me, one was a little bit ahead of the others so I moved so that the zombie closest to me would be in the way of the others.
I stepped forward and sent a slash with my sword at the head of the zombie and promptly sliced clean through it, skull and all, I was shocked since it felt like I just sliced through air.
I thought it only did 25 damage, to be fair they have 10 HP so maybe it should be doing that, I don’t know.
As the first zombie stopped moving, I turned my attention to the second, but it was pulled away when I heard a slam and I saw a zombie take Issei to the ground “ISSEI!” I started running but the zombie was about to bite into Issei’s arm, I wouldn’t make it and that’s when the green glow spread out and the zombie bit into a red gauntlet instead.
I sighed in relief when Issei threw the zombie off him and got up, punching the other in the face with his Initial State Boosted Gear.
I quickly killed both zombies he was fighting and we finished off the other two “okay so let’s not split up yet” I said, and Issei quickly nodded.
As I brought up our stat pages, I realised we shared exp
As a Permanent Party Member, you both share EXP but a Temporary wouldn’t, it would be whoever got the kill.
This continued for a while, us just walking then coming across groups and killing them a lot more carefully, which took a lot longer, we ended up killing another 43.
We were walking down a street when Issei sighed “how are we supposed to level like this?” he sounded frustrated.
“Remember it said Tier 1 on the quest so there must be higher levels, meaning stronger enemies, meaning more EXP” I said
Also, the more people you bring into a dungeon with you, the more difficult it will be
Damnit, how much more difficult is it?
Well, with 2 people it's double the difficulty
Fuck, Issei seemed to have the same thoughts since he grimaced once the Game finished talking.
“This Mini-Boss is going to fuck us up” I sighed, and Issei nodded.
We kept going and it took us what I thought was about 4 hours to kill every zombie, all 200 and so I brought the quest up
Zombie ID Tier 1:
The Tier Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill all Zombies 200/200 [Completed]
Objective 2: Find and kill Mini-Boss
Rewards: 2500 EXP Each, ?, ?
“Issei you should have levelled up if I'm right” he nodded and opened his stat page before he put all 5 of his points into STR
“Surprised you did that” he shrugged “I would rather be strong enough not to have one jump on me again”
200 Zombies killed, Mini-Boss Approaching
We both were quickly on guard since we were at an intersection with 4 different directions it could come from, and we were surprised when a zombie started coming down one of the roads, only it wasn’t normal.
This Zombie was small, around 4ft and it was skipping towards us without a care in the world, it also had a large backpack on its back that looked about the same size as his body.
Issei immediately started laughing and I elbowed him “it might be dangerous”
Once it got close enough, I managed to read its name
Zombie Spawner
HP = 25/25
MP = 50/50
SP = NA
“Issei its name is zombie spawner, we may want to kill it fast”
That’s when the zombie stopped and pulled a glass vial filled with a purple liquid from its backpack as it threw it about 5 metres to the right of us, the liquid spread across the ground and a hand shot out of the ground and about 3 zombies started climbing out of the ground.
“Issei take care of the spawner!” I rushed the three zombies and sliced through two with one attack. It was all luck, I didn’t mean to do that, but I am not complaining. I finished off the last one and turned to see Issei cut off from the Spawner by a group of nine zombies.
The Spawner seemed to have thrown another three vials, and as it threw another one, a red vial now at Issei I used my one use of Telekinesis to throw it back at the Spawner, I had to wait 30 minutes now.
Issei turned to me wondering what just happened “my class” is all I said and killed a zombie that had gotten close to Issei as he hit another to the ground, with his boosted strength being at 20 now, it was easy for him to kill them with just a hit.
The red vial had hit the Spawner and the red liquid quickly burst into flames, the Spawner now on fire proceeded to point his hand at Issei and a green sickly ray of energy blasted its way towards Issei.
Issei’s POV
I wouldn’t be able to dodge the ray coming my way, it would kill me, I realised Lucifer was trying to rush to me probably to push me out of the way.
I don’t want to die, I'm still a virgin for fucks sake, I need to get stronger, I need to stand by Lucifer’s side!
I felt something in me snap, another green glow came from my hand and all I heard was “Boost!” I felt faster and I pushed myself out of the way of the bolt of sickly energy.
My sacred gear now looked different; it was a red gauntlet that went up most of my arm, it had a green jewel on it and two golden spikes on it.
After that a slaughter began, me and Lucifer tore through the zombies, I was faster and stronger than them, my gauntlet could tank their bites, so I was safe if I didn’t get too cocky.
Whenever the Spawner tried to fire another ray of that sickly energy, Lucifer would shout, and we would both dodge before he even fired it.
The fire had damaged the Spawner, I didn’t know by how much, but Lucifer probably did.
It took a bit of time, but we managed to get to the Spawner and just as the Spawner was about to almost get me again with the ray of sickly energy, Lucifer used his powers and threw a stone at the Spawner, knocking it to the ground as he ran up and decapitated it and for good measure, cutting its decapitated head in half.
Lucifer’s POV
That sucked, I am not sure I would’ve been able to do that by myself.

The Tier 1 Zombie ID, complete all objectives.
Objective 1: Kill all Zombies 200/200 [Completed]
Objective 2: Find and kill Mini-Boss [Completed]
Rewards: 2500 EXP Each, ?, ?
Rewards Gained: 2500 EXP, END Stat Crystal
Issei had the quest pop up as well, but he got a different reward which means the second question mark was for him, he got an INT Stat Crystal and so I gave him the END crystal and I took the INT.
I was surprised when my HUD told what it did
Basic INT Stat Crystal
Increases INT stat by 5, crush to use.
Issei’s was the same, it just increased END by 5 instead.
I realised I had 160MP now which means I can use Telekinesis three times before having to wait for an hour to use it again, my stat page looked like this now
Name: Lucifer
Race: ? (Sealed)
Level: 1
Class: Psychic (LVL 3) - EXP = 1500/3000 - 3 INT, 2 WIS/LVL
Secondary Class: [LOCKED]
HP: 75/75 HPR: 35/1HOUR

SP: 75/75 SPR: 35/30MINS
STR: 5
END: 5
DEX: 5
INT: 16
WIS: 9
CHA: 5
LCK: 5
Credits: 0
I looked over to Issei after closing my status and sheathing Shinsetsu, he had levelled up again like me, gaining another 5 stat points, which I stopped him from putting into STR again “maybe look at your Sacred Gear first?” I suggested
He quickly pulled up his Skills and looked at his Sacred Gear
Sacred Gear: Boosted Gear LVL MAX
Boosted Gear is a red gauntlet housing Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor, which allows the user to double their powers every ten seconds until the user reaches their limit. Other abilities can be unlocked by discovering how to use them, and can be evolved to reach more powerful forms.
The Boosted Gear is a Longinus Sacred Gear, it has the potential to allow its user to kill even gods.
Max Boosts = 1 boosts per 10 END
Can always do one boost even if user has a single point of END
“Damn that Is strong” I said, and Issei smirked at me as he crushed the END stat crystal and then put his 5 points into DEX, I pulled up his stat page as he smirked at his new stats
Name: Issei Hyoudou
Race: Human
Level: 3 – EXP = 500/3000
HP: 150/150 HPR: 70/1HOUR
MP: 40/40 MPR: 15/30MINS
SP: 150/150 SPR: 70/30MINS
STR: 10
END: 10
DEX: 10
INT: 4
WIS: 3
CHA: 4
LCK: 2
Stat Points: 0
With 10 END Issei can do 2 boosts which is a 4x boost, which means his str, dex, and end would all be 40, that is ridiculous. His LCK is abysmal though.
You have completed your first dungeon, your options are to repeat this dungeon, go to the next tier or leave the dungeon altogether.
“Let’s leave, I am so tired, and we have school tomorrow, or I guess today” Issei said, and I nodded
There is a time dilation in dungeons, 1 hour in here is 30 minutes outside.
We both left the dungeon and Issei immediately left going to bed
Gamer, Issei can no longer hear or see me, you should know that you don’t need to sleep anymore, this is an rpg game not a survival one and so no sleep is required, you can still sleep but you can wake up instantly and sleep for however long you want to.
For the special effect of Gamer’s Body, you must sleep at least 4 hours for it to take effect.
I decided to go straight back into the dungeon, it was only around 11pm so I had more than enough time.
