1 Chapter 1: Achievements and start
Chap1: Achievements and start
Well, if you ask me I would say that it all started with my parents and how I became an orphan. You know, that's the dark lord making cliché, abandoned, alone and eager to rise above the crowd. To be known. And with that my story began, and somehow I became the dark lord, maybe the scariest of them all, the Lord Voldemort.
No one dared to even whisper my name. Oh I enjoyed how I made my followers shiver in fear. I used to sit on a stone chair with my lovely snake around my neck which made a horrifying picture and worst of all was my face. My red eyes and snake like nose. Sometimes I would ignore them and talk to my lovely Nagini and caress her head and talk to her in Parseltongue. It was fulfilling. After I conquered most of Britain I lost my powers. All because of that potter boy.
But I'm over it. It's not healthy to cling to past. He destroyed my Horcruxes, which I'm not that unhappy about. Horcruxes can cause insanity. If I were alive I would've wrote an article on that. Anyhow, I died, wasted most of my time on stupid things. I didn't even get laid once. Well I did rape some women, but I took no joy out of it. I killed them as soon as I saw I didn't have a boner. That's what dark rituals do to you. I was impotent. But that's all over now. I think reconnecting the souls in the afterlife had weird effects on me. I think I'm a slightly different person.
I've been in this white place for a really long time. I think more than couple of years. Once I started counting and I stopped at 7777777. Well I'm a bit superstitious. There is no magical seven, if there was, it would've worked when I counted up to seven fucking million and seven hundred and seventy seven fucking thousand and seven hundred and seventy fucking seven, fuck. Or maybe I counted wrong? Should I start again?
So yeah. My story ends here. A failure of a dark lord and a failure of a person. Maybe I should've died earlier. I can't say everything I did was terrible and boring but I really liked magic. I don't know when I stopped learning and started my career as a Dark Lord. All those teenage hormones made me make a Horcrux and I think because of that change in my personality, I didn't grow up at all.
And I'm getting bored here. I'm sitting on a bench. And everything else is white. And when I walk toward any direction, somehow I comeback to this place.
What exactly am I waiting for? A taxi? Bus? Airplane? The last one might be true because I've been waiting for too long! I can't talk. Can't eat (not that there is any food around), and no going to the bathroom. Which is amazing. All these times I've been here I've been theorizing new magic spells and rituals in my mind. I'm pretty sure if I go back to my old world I can make a ritual with earth as the prime element of power to magically teleport your poop and pee underground. So no need to go to the bathroom.
That would've been revolutionary.
And I still don't know which religion was right. I mean what a cliffhanger. I've been here for couple of years I think, and haven't met god. Is it the Christian's god? Or Islamic one? Or Hindus? But I don't think it's the Hindus, they have many gods, and at least one of them would be free to give me the fucking introduction to the hell if it was them. And I don't see the flames so Christian and Islam are both crossed out. Or are they? Maybe I should believe in something to go to their next world. And I was an Atheist. You know. I'm cool and classy. Why shouldn't I be an atheist? And of course it's the lazy choice. I preferred to think about the magic instead of the philosophy of the world.
So what am I doing here? Who knows? Maybe this IS my hell. Or maybe I just came back from my hell. The lack of data is annoying.
Ok let's wait some more. Maybe it's a test of patience. So deep breath (even though I'm just a soul) and relax. Relax … relax …
Relax …
Relax …
Re … lax …
Ok I'm going to count to 7777777 again.
**
Ok. It's the 7th time that I counted that number and it's getting out of hand. People might say I'm a bit obsessed with that number. How much longer does it take? I should've listened to more muggle songs and memorized them so I could sing them for myself. Pity. I just know one, which was sang by Leonard Cohen. "The Future".
Ah, I wish I had other songs of him memorized. I was just starting to like muggles before I died. It's not that easy to like them after all I've been through.
[Do you want to start a new game? The game of the Dark Lord]
[Yes/No]
I see words appear in front of my face, written on a blue page.
Is this a joke? I can't move to the hell in peace and you want me to play?
[Yes. We (gods) are bored. Actually you don't have much of a choice. So be a good boy and play along. You might enjoy it. You want to play?]
[Yes/No]
That's just …
[That's just what? I dare you to finish that thought. I double dare you. You mother fucker. Finish it and I'll send you to a world which all people you love will love Justine Bieber and will leave you. And you can't even commit suicide. And annoying teenager (which between you and me, most of them are directly controlled by me) test your patience.]
Chill …
I press "Yes" button and a new page opens up in front of my face.
[Welcome to the Game of Dark Lord
Waiting for scoring your achievements from your previous life… ]
Ok. Well I never tried to achieve anything in my life other than the absolute power over Britain which I failed.

(1 Perk = 4 Trait = 200 Attribute = 200 Achievement) ]
[First choose the world you want to go to:
Naruto (Blocked)
Percy Jackson (Blocked)
Bleach (Blocked)
Harry Potter (Should finish this with a score higher than 1000 to open other worlds)]
Well, not like I have much of a choice.
[No shit.]
I choose Harry Potter world. To think that I went after someone who the whole world is named after! That's why I couldn't kill the fucking cockroach.

[Tom Marvolo Riddle, AKA Lord Voldemort, was a Dark Lord at his world. Had a tough childhood. Grew up to be a strong magician, then pathetically dying in the hand of a teenager, in the process of getting reborn. He started to like Leonard Cohen songs and taste of Vodka and Italian pasta. He had a sort of clarity to see what he has done in a different color and it's mostly because he experienced what harry did and he got back his complete soul.]
I have no idea what any of these mean. Well I can figure some stuff out. Most of them are self-explanatory, it seems that it works like a presentation of my character. What kind of world I'm going to be sent to? My old one? Am I going to be an orphan again?
Then I saw a page in front of my face.
[Yes and no. you are going to your orphanage but not the same year. In the world you are being sent to there is no Lord Voldemort. There are many active Dark Lords with many local feudal lords.]
[You as a dark lord were a lawful one, or a neutral. You had a reason and didn't hurt magicians for fun(He wanted to be a ruler, and he killed who opposed him and didn't kill those who bent the knee), even though your reasons were bullshit. These dark lords are mostly chaotic evil. Too many bad bloods.]
[And it all started as Albus didn't defeat Grindelwald. So it made wizards to become more and more arrogant and they started to change the world. First they made a universal magic with the help of Zeus Tome, they overcame the power of electricity so with no technology normal human couldn't compete with magicians. Magicians and Muggles don't co-exist but muggles are aware of magician's presence.]
[Albus is trying his best to keep Europe safe. The grand magicians of Queen are trying their best. But still, too many evil men and wizards. ]
[You have a mission.]
A new page appeared.
[You have a new mission!
Kill them all!
Main quest:
Kill 10 dark lords (0/10)
Bonus quest:
Plunder their base and rob their library (0/10)
Rewards:
500 Achievement points
One of their skills (After killing each Darklord)
Bonus Reward:
50 AP (after each library)
New Title (after gaining all)]
[And I will give you other missions to complete during the time you have.
By the way. You need to find harry potter. He might be a help to you. You'll be same age when you go to Hogwarts. ]
[And at last I should say the magic is probably a bit different than you think it is. The way of magic changed a lot in the past 200 years in this world. You'll remember all the magic you knew but you need to master them by practicing again. ]
[Now, do you want to use your achievement points?]
[Yes/No]
I need a bit of time to take all the information in.
[Well you don't have it.]
[Now, do you want to use your achievement points?]
[Yes/No]
- You mean I won't know anything about this world?
[You'll learn.]
It seemed funny. How a Darklord is going to be sent to kill other Darklords. I think …
[Oh for whatever-being-that-is-the-creator-and-I'm-not-spoiling-it-for-you's sake, will you just shut up and choose?
- Are you also a dead Darklord? You are not that nice!
[Do you want to use your achievement points?]
He didn't say anything else.
- Of course. But first show me my own perks and traits and that title.
[Perks:]
[Master of Magick (LvL 1) (2 PP to LVL up)
Mysteries of magic was always a curios matter. You have reached a point in understanding the rules of magic that you can take a look beyond what normal man can and have a grasp on the way magic works that puts you in a different light than others.

+50% learning speed in learning normal magic

[Titles:]
[Phoenix Lord: By resurrecting you defied death and that indeed takes steel balls.

+10 VIT per 10 levels.]
'Looks good!'
- Can you open the list for me to buy these stuff?
And a shop screen opens in front of me.
The list of perks and traits were really pricy. Most of them started with 10 Perk Points. And traits usually don't have the same effect.
I have 700 Achievement Points (AP), which means 3 Perk Points (PP) and 2 Trait Points (TP).
Instead of buying anything new, I chose to upgrade my existing ones. I upgraded [Master of Magick (LvL 1)] to [Master of Magick (LvL 2)] which now gives me 3 INT and WIS every 5 levels.
Also the [Trait: Genius (Lvl Max)] turned into [Perk: Genius (Lvl Max)] which gave me 1 INT per level.
There were many bloodlines but I couldn't buy any of them.
I chose two traits which had 1 TP price tag.
[Trait: MetaMorph (Lvl Max)]
[Trait: ParselMouth (Lvl Max)]
I used up all of my Achievement Points.
[The transfer to the reality no. 3151C-34PP starts.]
Everything that was white in my vision went dark.
