Okay, for whatever reason the key words that I've seen in a plethora of fanfictions to pull up their menu aren't working... wait. Menu!

Cool my first quest! All right let's go from top to bottom then! 'Status'

[Status:]

Name: Issei Hyoudou

Level: 1

Race: Devil / Longinus Class Sacred Gear User<Currently Sealed>

Rank: None

Title: Red Dragon Emperor of Domination<Currently Sealed>

I thought Issei would've at least been Level 2 especially considering he was just revived as a devil, or I guess we were? Fuck this is going to be confusing isn't it.

Wait what's Rank? 'System what is Rank'

[Rank can be identified as a Noble Rank]

'Like if I were a Duke, it would read Duke?'

[Yes]

Moving on...ahh! 'Skills'

....What the Fuck.

Like for real. Issei did so much perving that he made a skill mutate? A rare mutation no less. This guy's luk stat must've been crazy! It's mine now though!

[Passive Skills:]

We are looking fucking strong! Those two perks alone are why I chose Issei... of course there are other reasons but anyway those perk bonuses are pretty damn good.

Next! 'Invent-.

*Warning Inventory is currently filled. Remove items from inventory to become unencumbered*

What? Oh shit!

[Status Effect!]

Due to your Inventory being filled with Erotic games and manga, 2 lbs of weight will be applied to your person every 60 seconds.

*Quest Received*

[Remove that Erotica!]

Objective: Remove and destroy the Erotica currently filling your Inventory.

Reward: [Simple Steel Dagger]

You've got to be kidding me! Damn you Issei!

--------------------------------------------------------------

-42 minutes later-

*Ding*

*Quest Completed*

My arm hurts. My Inventory has 100 spaces to fill. Issei had 173 spots filled somehow all with erotic games and manga. After having to click on each one individually, and then click on destroy item, and then it would prompt 'Are you Sure?' FUCK YES, I'M SURE! Then the added weight and this unathletic body.... yeah, fucking sucks. My arm feels like spaghetti noodles.

*Items received [Simple Steel Dagger]*

Yeah.... sure. I'm going to sleep now.

--------------------------------------------------------------

-An Unknown amount of time later-

"Issei!" I hear an older woman yell. Weird.

"Issei wake up!" Who are you?

"Sorry, mom I was just dozing off." I said after realizing who was shaking me and yawning afterwards.

"Dozing off? It's 6 o'clock honey, is everything ok?" she asks worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm mom just a little exhausted is all."

As she leaves the room and closes the door, I hear her say "Why is my son such a perv, he probably masturbated too much."

I went fucking red, and it felt like the room temperature was dialed up to 100°.

After blushing up a storm for a few minutes I remembered what I was doing before I passed out. I quickly open my inventory and there is a simple crusader dagger, sitting in inventory slot #1.

I click on the item.... nothing happens. Why won't it work? Then I remembered one of the fanfictions with a gamer system I read had it so instead of clicking on it, you simply put your hand in the slot grasped the item you want and pulled it out. So, I tried it, and it worked.

The blade was beautiful, I mean it wasn't any Valyrian steel or anything like that, but it was shiny, and pretty.

Now, onto what I was doing before that sudden quest. 'Relationships'

[Relationships:]

Mother - Miki Hyoudou - lvl. 3

Human - Normal

Affection: 100 | Obedience: 0

....

Father - Gorou Hyoudou - Lvl. 5

Human - Normal

Affection: 100 | Obedience: 0

....

[Romantic Relationships]

None....

I expected this.... it still hurts though.

How do I close this thing umm... 'close?' The textbox went away and was replaced with the quest completed screen.

*Quest Completed!*

[Learning the System]

Reward:

Ability Unlocked - [Instant Dungeon]

[Instant Dungeon] <Active> - lvl. MAX

Info: Allows you to access Instant Dungeons that are filled with monsters for you to kill, and items to be found.

Is this Solo Leveling or High School DxD because Dungeons really? Fuck yes! Looks like I might have the boosted gear unlocked sooner than I thought.

I began looking for the infamous 'wakey wakey' erotica alarm clock Issei has when I noticed a timer in the top right corner of my.... screen? It was right below the.... MINI-MAP! How did I not notice that! It had my parents marked as blue: Allies, and some people outside that were walking by my house as yellow: Neutral. I don't see any other colors, but I think it's safe to assume that my enemies will be marked in red.

Also, my health and mana bar were at the bottom, and it looks exactly like it did in Final Fantasy XIV, except without all the skill buttons and the tactical points bar.

My Health bar was green, while my mana bar was in a glowing purple.

[HP - 500]

[MP - 250]

Looking away from my HP and MP bars I focused back on the timer below the mini-map and what it read.

[6:13 P.M]

Okay, I can probably get an hour or two of surveying and exploring kuoh town done before I must head home. I quickly threw on Issei's pair of red Adidas shoes, and a black zip-up jacket, and started to make my way towards his door. Before I stop and look at the date again.... that cannot be right. If I remember right Issei died to Raynare on Sunday and what I presume by the episodes backdrop and lighting before she put up the barrier to kill him. Raynare most likely killed him in between the times of 5-7 P.M.

But Hey, That's Just a Theory, A....Anime Theory!?

I quickly exit my room walk down the stairs, passing by my mother making dinner in the kitchen, and quickly throw over my shoulder, "I'll be out okaa-san, I'm going to go on a quick run. Bye!" With that I bolted out the door thinking about how ridiculous I was for thinking of MattPat and Game Theory. Though then again, I have the Gamer System, so it makes sense.

~Miki POV~

Seeing my son, walk down the stairs in his new shoes that we bought for the new school year, and his jacket that we got for him last year. Made me wonder just where on earth was he going at 6 o'clock at night. When I was about to ask where he was going, he cut me off by saying that he was going out for a run?

*Slam!*

As the door slammed shut and knocked me out of the stupor. I could only mutter one word, "What?"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Walking back into 'my house' felt awkward, as I felt stares from both my mother and father. Considering my messy sweat leaking hair, heavy breathing, and sweat drenched face. It's a warranted reaction.

"Son, where were you?" Gorou-....'My father' asked.

After taking a couple of deep breaths and calming my heart down so it doesn't burst out of my chest. I respond.

"Sorry, dad I was out running." The instant those words were out of my mouth, my father went wide-eyed, and my mother nearly dropped the dish she was cleaning. Which Indicated I had missed dinner.

"Thats.... okay Issei, we were worried is all." Gorou said. Damnit this 'father' shit is hard!

"I told mom what I was doing though?" I responded.

"Issei, all you said was 'I'm going running. Bye!' What am I supposed to do! Guess when you're coming home!? No, young man that's not how this works." Mik-.... Mother scolded me. I quickly realized how right she was. I didn't say when I was going to be back. Who knows what could have happened to me out there if I ran into Raynare, or any of the other fallen angels.

I quickly apologized and asked if there was any dinner left. After eating what remained of tonight's dinner, I headed up the stairs, into my room, and shut and locked the door.

I pulled up the Quest I received when I had begun my run.

--------------------------------------------------------------

*1 hour and 37 minutes earlier*

After slamming the door shut, I broke out into a quick but steady jog down the street. When I got to the conner at the end of the street to stop and wait at the crosswalk I received a quest.

'System.... what is the lvl. 200+ Dungeon?'

A soft green aura soon enveloped my body. It soon evaporated, but afterwards I jumped up onto my feet, and felt good as new!

'System, the quest didn't say anything about that being a reward?'

[After every daily-quest an automatic status-recovery is administered for the remaining day's trials.]

'What do you mean?' I asked.

[Daily-Quests are implemented and given at 6:30 A.M but given your late awakening that was not optimal.]

'And when I decided to go for a run it provided an opportunity for it to appear. Is that right?'

[Correct]

All right then I think I'll head to bed. Having to go back to high school will not be fun, even if it is full of girls.

As I went to lay down on my surprisingly comfortable bed I recieved yet another quest.

'Are you fucking kidding me!?' Really now of all times system?

*Quest Received*

[Explore the Dungeon!]

Objective: Clear the Tier 1 Undead Dungeon.

Rewards: [?], [?], +1 Ancient Chinese Sword.

Clear Timer: 24:00:00

Penalty: If not cleared in time, leveling will slow by half for a full week.

Okay I'll give it to you system you sure do know how to grab my attention. I continuously look between the Quest textbox and my bed constantly throwing the thought of bed or exploring a dungeon around in my head.

Finally, after a few minutes of indecision, I decided.

'Fuck it.'

[Instant Dungeon: Open!]

A swirling blue portal opened in front of me. I ran to the window and shut the blinds just in case. I walk back towards the portal and examine it.

[Perverts Gaze] <Active> - Lvl. 8

I did more than just run. I observed every single milf I could see. There weren't that many considering it was [6:30 P.M]. I also observed a few police bicyclists that went by me.

[Police Officer] - Lvl. 9

[Police Officer] - Lvl. 10

I shook my head clearing it of my previous thoughts and returned my attention back to the dungeon portal.

[Dungeon Portal] - Lvl. MAX

Info: A portal that leads to the Dungeon selection Hub.

Sign me up please.

I walk into the portal with my red running shoes and black jacket on.

When I arrive on the other side, it's surprisingly warm. I look around and observe that it is square in shape with massive wooden beams in each corner, with what looks to be a cobblestone wall in between each beam. In front of me is what looks to be a massive Fantasy style Great Hall door.

I walked up to the door and pressed my hand on the firm wood. A Orange Textbox appears in front of me listing the options for the dungeon.

Please select the Dungeon Type:

Undead (Lvl. 1 - 20)

?

?

?

?

Hmmm.... I wonder what the others unlock at, besides the lvl. 200 dungeon of course.

I quickly switch and open 'Inventory' and grab my [Simple Steel Dagger]. I spin it a few times to get used to the weight, and then slash and stab a few times. I got my desired result.

[Skill Gained!]

[Knife Fighting] <Passive> - Lvl. 1 (Novice)

Info: The ability to fight with a knife. Higher levels improve fighting capability.

Good. I'll need that. I dismiss the notification and pull back up the dungeon menu and select.

[Undead (Lvl. 1 - 20)]

A notification pops up asking me if I'm sure and I click 'Yes'.

Another portal opens in front of me but instead of being blue this one is a bright orange.

I bring up and ready my dagger in preparation to stab whatever is on the other side of the gateway and walk through.
