Chapter 42 - My SI Stash #42 - A Gamers Guide to Necromancy by The Dark Wolf Shiro (AnimeXover&DXD) (1/2)
-If you're into Evil SI-OC, you'd like this one. It has the Gamer Elements and Meta Knowledge that everyone would like to have except our reality sucks. I'm waiting every single day for Truck kun to come send me to another world.
*This is the prequel to A Gamers Guide to Conquest. SI starts in Highschool DXD first and will then travel to other universes.
Sypnosis: The Gamer System is a ridiculously overpowered ability, and now it's in the hands of a Lich King in Training. Kuro isn't a nice person, and that was before he had a legion of Undead at his command, the multiverse should be afraid. Will go to multiple different worlds Dark MC/Evil MC, Lemons/Smut, Necromancer MC/Gamer MC

Chapter 1
Welcome! You have been chosen as the Host of the Gamer System!
What the f_u_c_k? Looking around I can see nothing but darkness, only the text floating in front of my face is visible. I can't even see my body when I look down.
Due to the gruesome method in which you died your body was not brought along!
But don't worry, we can replace that easily enough!
Died?! Gruesome method!? I was perfectly fine a moment ago, I was... in a car? I was in the back seat on the way to... my home? Yeah that's right, we had just gotten back from our holiday, I took a nap in the car as my mum drove us home.
Correct, what you aren't considering is the incredibly violent car crash that killed you!
A truck hit the car, crushing your body to paste!
Oh, and your family as well. But they don't matter.
No, I was fine. We were fine. I would have woken up, this is just a bad dream, nothing more. I'll wake up in the car any minute now...
Huh, weird. I wasn't expecting you to freak out like this.
Easily fixed.

Provides information on target
Immediately I can feel my panic by violently suppressed, as more text boxes appear in front of me. This is real. I'm dead, my family is dead. I should be sad or angry about that, but I'm not. In fact I'm not feeling anything but... curiosity? Mentally I know that this... skill is messing with my mind but I can't bring myself to be upset about it. Quite literally, I physically can't get upset.
If you are done with your little freak out, we need to go through the character creator.
I feel a brief spike of annoyance at the text box, but it's muted.
Your name as been pre-chosen, so we can skip that.
Please select a race.
[Human] [?] [?] [?] [?]
My name was already chosen? Why? And Seriously? Why give me a choice at all if you aren't going to actually tell me my choices? I'm not going take the risk that the question mark races are insects or animals, so I select Human.
[Human]
You are a human, just a regular boring human
Humans are the jack of all trades, master of f_u_c_k all
Gain 25% bonus class exp
Please select a class.
Hmm, I've never been particularly strong so fighter is out. I should spend a lot of time thinking about the pros and cons of each choice, but really. Magic? F_u_c_k yes. I don't feel like playing as a support class, so Mage it is.
Please select a specialisation.
[Elemental Mage] [Illusionist] [Enchanter] [Summoner] [Necromancer]
Hmm, Elemental was what I was thinking about, slaying my foes with fire and ice. But Summoner and Necromancer also seem... interesting. Getting a summon to fight for me seems useful, very useful. I don't want to die, again. And having something in between me and my foes could help with that.
Summoning or Necromancy... both are useful. After some thought I go for Necromancer, I like the idea of turning my foes into allies, and necromancers usually have some death magic attacks.

Wonderful, I can feel the knowledge on how to use my magic entering my mind. I didn't know if summoner had it's own attack moves but I know enough about necromancers in fiction to know that there was a good chance of some attack skills.
New Skills are unlocked as you level your Class.
Originally there was a skill creation skill, but you can thank a certain cheating asshole for it being taken away.
New Classes are unlocked once Necromancer has been maxed.
Cheating asshole? Whatever, new skills from levelling, got it.
Skills can also be gained through special actions, but that's for you to discover.
Right... so now what?

Kuro? Weird name, but whatever. I can't remember my original name, a fact that should worry me, so I suppose Kuro will do.
As a optional choice, you can choose to take random flaws.
For every random flawed trait that is taken a bonus will be granted.
That's... interesting. Also risky, I have no idea what I could get from it. Is it worth the risk? I have no idea, but I want to find out. I'll take one.

Shooting up from my bed I look around in shock, I'm... in a bedroom? I don't recognise this place, I've never sent his room before.
”Kuro! Get up now! You can't be late for your first day!” I here a male voice shout up at me, looking around some more I notice that I am in a school uniform, moving to a mirror on my wall I look at myself in shock. My hair and eyes are black, and my skin pale and sickly. I look like a f_u_c_k_i_n_g skeleton, with no muscle mass at all, lifting my shirt I can see my ribs. I need to eat, a lot.
Heading downstairs a middle aged man glares at me from his seat in the kitchen.
”Honestly boy, Kuoh Academy is a prestigious school. There not going to like you anyway, you're just making things worse if your late on day one, so hurry up and get going.” he practically sneers at me, I test one of my skills on him [Observe].

Thoughts about you - Disappointment
...My Father? No he isn't, he's just a stranger. Disappointment? Yeah it's mutual 'father'.
”Yeah, yeah. I'm going.” I say heading out of the house. More importantly, I know that school name. Kuoh Academy. F_u_c_k.
Well I'm f_u_c_k_e_d, Kuoh is filled with Devils and Fallen Angels, and I can't just hope they don't notice my magic.
I have two choices ahead of me, One, get strong enough to face anything or Two, stay low level and hope they don't notice me.
F_u_c_k that, I didn't die, be brought back and given powers to hide away like a f_u_c_k_i_n_g rat. I just need to power level until I am strong enough to protect myself. But first I have school. Oh joy. As I walk towards the school I somehow know the location of an idiot rams into me on his bike.

[Resist Physical] (Passive) - LVL 1

”Ow, sorry about that. Here let me help you up.” he says grabbing my arm and pulling me up from the ground. ”Whoa, dude you look weird! Don't worry, as long as you aren't a pretty boy we can be friends!” Issei says. That took half of my health away, that's how weak I am at the moment, I almost died to this.
”It's fine, just watch where you are going.” I ground out, hiding my anger, interesting that I can feel anger again. This is the protagonist, enjoying his harem and his super powers and his f_u_c_k_i_n_g plot armour. This piece of shit does not deserve boosted gear, not at all. '[Observe]'

Thoughts about you – Embarrassment
He really is pathetic, I could kill him in two spells. It wouldn't even be hard, no one else is around this path. I could stop this stupid story right here and now.
Quest Added
[This story ends in the prequel]
Objective – Kill Issei Hyoudou
Reward – Boosted Gear, ?, ?
…wait really? I.. I wasn't actually being serious, I was just pissed about my aching body. But that being said... Boosted Gear, just for killing Issei. I should be more hesitant about this as we walk along the empty street, him ranting about the Oppai Paradise we are going to, but I am not. This world is extremely dangerous, and I need any advantage I can get.
Lets think about this, the pros are gaining an overpowered skill, and two mystery rewards. And the cons are the attention I would get from this, I can assume that Rias doesn't know about it yet since it's both of our first days, but if I take it she'll turn her attention to me instead. So will the fallen.
I think it's worth it, as long as I can gain enough power to beat Raynare. All I need to do is hit him with Ray of Death twice, he's in front of me still ranting about Oppai when I start my spell. Looking around to check for witnesses I find none, thrusting my hand forwards a ray of black light hits Issei in the back, knocking him down, it's rotted his uniform and the skin beneath it, as he turns I prepare a Drain Life, a trial of red coming from his and into my hand as he collapses to the ground.

This was worth it, and I leveled from this, but that doesn't change the fact that I have a corpse in front of me, the f_u_c_k am I suppose to do with this? I didn't think this through.
Store [Issei Hyoudou's Corpse] in your Inventory
[Yes] [No]
Hitting yes the body vanishes, useful if I ignore the fact that I'm carrying a body around with me. I can't afford to be late today, especially after this. Heading to the school faster, as I get out of breath, I reach the school gate just in time. As I try and pass through I get interrupted.
”Kuro Shi? I am Souna Shitori, the student council president here at Kuoh Academy. I make a habit to met all the new students, when the other new student arrives I will be giving you both a tour of the school.” Sona says, the other student? Yeeeah, she's going to be waiting a long time. Or not, since he is technically already here. '[Observe]'

Thoughts about you – Interest
Oh. F_u_c_k, I have along way to go. Leaning against the wall I wait with her, ignoring the looks sent my way as Sona gets progressively more angry, it's hard to tell, but she taps her finger against her arm as her frown slowly grows.
”Clearly, this Issei has decided that he doesn't want to enter Kuoh any more, so be it. Follow me.” she says irritated, as she leads me through the school, she skips a lot, clearly still pissed about Issei not showing up. The tour is fast, barely covering anything before she ditches me at my homeroom. Storming off angrily, poor Issei, you even piss off girls in death.
As the teacher takes me into the room, the class stare at me in slight fear and mistrust. As the teacher tells me to introduce myself she moves away quickly, there's only two people who don't seem to be afraid of me. Kiba, who I expected. And Aika Kiryuu, who is... drooling? I don't want to know.
”My name is Kuro Shi, it's a p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e, truly.” I say sarcastically, they don't like me, so I don't see any reason to be nice. Moving down I take my seat and zone out for the class. I can deal with high school without any actual effort, I've done this all before. I need to get stronger, the first major threat will be Raynare, and I can assume she'll be at a similar level to Sona, if not stronger. So I need to hit level 40 at a minimum before everything kicks off. I need to grind, desperately.
Quest Added [Power, at any cost]
Objective : Reach Level 40 before the start of season one
Reward : Lord of Death Perk
As the day passes my classmates ignore me, put off by my appearance, but that's fine. They only ones who have given me any attention are Aika and Kiba. I don't care about Aika, but Kiba could be a problem, I can't afford to get dragged into the supernatural world until I am stronger. Which means I need to stay away from the Devils who are already sniffing around me, my Sacred Gear drawing them to me like flies to honey. I saw Koneko staring at me during lunch, she seems almost afraid of me. Perhaps it's her connection to nature her race gives her that's causing her apprehension.
Food doesn't taste right any more, it's plain and tasteless.
Before long my first day is over, as I am leaving I spot a red haired girl watching me from a second floor window, but I ignore her, I can't get caught up with devils yet, I need power. Luckily I know how to get it. As I walk home I find a nice quiet alleyway to hide in and use one of my skills, [Id Create].
The only dungeon type I have is Angels. So that's the one I choose.
Instantly I am moved to a ridiculous area, the sun shines brightly lighting up the golden path ahead of me, if someone was to try and describe heaven this is what they would describe, nothing but white and gold buildings atop some clouds that are entirely to solid. In the distance ahead of me is a golden gate, with a large armoured angel blocking the way. I can see a familiar foe flying around above the path.
Affinity
Level 5
HP – 250
The trash mobs from Bayonetta, there are around a dozen of them, all the same level. I could kill one of them with 5 casts of [Drain Life EX], but with my pathetic HP and their numbers that would be a fools errand, even if I could beat one the others would kill me.
It's fine, I'm a Necromancer, I don't fight like that anyway. I have 15 INT, that's 3 undead or ghosts I can have summoned at any one moment. Thinking over my choices for a moment I use [Create Ghost] to make a [Living Armour], immediately a suit of black armour appears before me, despite being empty it bows to me, a eerie blue glow coming from within rusting metal. A rusty sword is held in it's grip. It is the soul of a long dead warrior bound to his armour, he will serve me as his king in his unlife.
Living Armour
Level 5
HP – 400
It'll help, but we are still outnumbered considerably, thankfully the Affinity's are ignoring us, I think they will continue to do so, as long as we do not advance. I still have two more spots available summons, while I look over my choices I notice that my class EXP rose just from summoning, I wonder if a healer would get exp for healing?
