And so it begins : Part 1

I am new to this so I don't expect my first fic to be extremely well made but I assure you that I will try my best to keep it presentable. The story is inspired by TheDarkWolfShiro's gamer fics. He is one of my favorite authors on this site and I sincerely wish that he will be back after his break. This may contain some parts from other fics.

I will be adding my own ideas and the story will not follow canon. It is called a fan-fic for a reason. So please have an open mind while reading the story. I will try to explain my reasoning in due time. Well too much babble from me already, let's go on with our story. Thanks for giving this your time.

Disclaimer: I own nothing (Seriously, if I did, I wouldn't be writing this)

Chapter 1 : And so it begins.

People sometimes wonder what they would feel after death. Some say it will be a place filled with light and life called heaven while some say it will be a place covered in fire and death called hell. I say BULLSHIT.

I am not delusional enough to think that I will get a place in heaven, I am not ashamed to say that I have done a few….scratch that quite a few things that will make the gates of heaven shut on my face harder than a man on aphrodisiac in front of naked chicks. My name had quite an effect on people that way. What was my name again?

But I would prefer even the hot and steamy hell to the current situation I am currently in. what's with all the darkness. Did someone not pay the electric bills on time? Is there even a power station in hell/the afterlife, etc. Wasn't it supposed to be something like let there be light and all that crap.

I did hear that they tortured souls in hell. What kind of torture is this? Is this the silent treatment? I thought the afterlife would be something new, I got this crap from my parents enough times already. GET CREATIVE.

Welcome, Gamer.

…

Okay. Seriously I would have done a spit-take at that if I was drinking something right now. Are you sure you were not waiting for me to say those words before introducing yourself.

No host, the Gamer System was preparing for your transfer.

Now that the host is ready, lets begin with your instructions.

The game system is a tool to help its host to reach unimaginable levels of power depending on how the host plays the game.

As all other gamers, the host is given the signature skills for the gamer.

Skill Gained

[Gamers Mind] (Passive)

Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through.

Allows peaceful state of mind.

Grants Immunity to psychological status effects.

Skill Gained

[Gamers Body] (Passive)

Grants a body that allows the user to live real life like a game.

Skill Gained

[Observe] (Active)

Provides information on target.

Okay. I am not freaking out right now, so that means the skills are actually working. I am really glad to have [Gamers Mind] because being over excited and hyperventilating in times of stress is not something I would want myself doing when I go wherever I am going.

Glad to be of help host, now moving on.

Now select a class.

[Fighter] [Ranger] [Mage] [Support] [Rogue]

As much as I like to get close and personal in a fight, the feeling of someone's face against my knuckles or the classic kick in the balls, fighter class against people actively trying to kill you is not recommended for noobs ( hey, I know I am a noob). So fighter is out.

Ranger is not for me, at least not when my life is on the line. Rouges are generally people who have a high stealth build but low defence at the start and they have to get close to their targets. Thieves and Assassins in general are not good for boss fights at the start of the game.

That leaves Mage and Support. Support is good when you have enough strength to. So mage it is.

Select a specialization.

[Elementalist] [Illusionist] [Druid] [Necromancer] [Summoner] [Enchanter] [Healer]

Summons will leave me weak at the start and I don't know if I have to start digging graves right off the bat for the necromancer. Enchanter is good but I have very little knowledge about this class. Healer is for support mostly and I think I would rather have something to kill my enemies than healing as a starter class. Druid is good nature magic and turning into animals and Elementalist is good for many things depending on what element I choose.

Fuck it Elementalist it is.

Choose an element.

[Aeromancer] [Pyromancer] [Hydromancer] [Geomancer] [Cryomancer] [Electromancer] [Umbramancer] [Locked] [Locked] [Locked]….

I had no fucking idea that there were so many mancers, the fuck is carnomancer.

Carnomancy is the art of flesh magic if be by manipulation, destruction, golem making, or even healing. These people are often experts in how the body works.

Oh…..

Pyromancer is mostly attack based. Cryomancer is good for attack and defence. Geomancer hydromancer and other elements are good too. However my choice is umbramancer. Shadow walk and stealth as well as attacking someone from their shadow is quite good for assassinations. It won't attract too much attention in places I need to be subtle.

Class Gained

[Umbramancer] – LVL 1/100 [0%]

Gain 5 INT and WIS every level.

Skill Gained

[Shadow Magic (Novice)](Passive)

Gained instinctual knowledge about shadow magic.

Shadow Magic related spells are 10% stronger.

Skill Gained

[Shadow Ball] [Active]

Makes a ball of shadow and darkness to attack the target.

Deal [(INTx2) + Weapon damage] Magical damage.

Costs 50 MP to use.

[Shadow Spike] (Active)

Makes a spike of shadow and darkness to attack the target.

Deal [(INTx3) + Weapon damage] Magical damage.

Costs 75 MP to use.

Skill Gained

[Shadow Stealth(Novice)]

(Passive)

Increases the chances of being unnoticed by 10%. The skill is canceled when the user moves out of a shadow or attacks a target.

(Active)

Increases the chances of being unnoticed by an additional 10%. The skill is canceled when the user moves out of a shadow or attacks a target.

Cost 50 MP/min.

The effect of this skill can be boosted by stealth type skills of other classes. The effects overlap on each other.

When can I get other classes?

Host can get other classes after reaching Level 40 in the selected class.

Cool.

You are taking this quite well.

Well when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade and quite frankly this is much better than the over-exaggerated powercut I was stuck in.

Now this part is optional but you can choose different flaws for yourself and for every flawed trait selected, you get a perk.

It can be anything depending on your luck.

Would you like to spin.

'Anything' you say? That word rings several bells in my head. The fuck I could become 'Impotent' and get 'Ladykiller' as a perk. Can you imagine the torture that would be. I love my junior too much to take that risk, thank you very much.

-Somewhere-

Several overpowered Gamers felt a chill down their spines. Thanking lady luck for their draws and removing the 'Impotent', 'Asexual' and similar traits from the systems.

-Back to the game-

The host has raised a very important and valid point. As a gift the other senior Gamers have removed any similar traits from the starting rolls.

There are other gamers?

Yes, there are a few other gamers but they have their own multiverses and do not generally interfere with other gamers in a bad way.

Good to know, though other multiverses. The game really puts a lot into this.

There was a certain incident when the child of a certain Gamer interfered with the life of another Gamer and things got a little messy and led to the destruction of a couple of universes. Since then every new Gamer gets a multiverse of their own.

Destruction of a couple of universes…...I feel the prospect of being an overpowered badass going further away with each word you speak.

No worries though, I am willing to take my time. Let's roll and see what my luck has in store for me.

Trait Gained

[Diminished Presence]

Being a user of shadow magic, your presence is similar to a shadow. It is present everywhere but generally ignored unless brought to notice.

People will tend to notice you less unless they specifically think about you.

All Affection/Reputation gains will be halved between +10 and -10.

Perk Gained

[Lady Luck's love child]

Increases loot drops.

Higher chances of winning games of chances.

Gacha and dice rolls never give a blank result.

Rarity of loot increases.

Yup, totally worth it. Luck is something I can always do with more and never less.

Being more likely to be ignored at first is not bad because it means I am less likely to catch the attention of people who could cause trouble for me.

Let's roll it again.

Trait Gained

[Lustful]

You are an incarnate of lust.

Be drawn to the opposite sex and sexual acts.

Perk Gained

[Ladykiller]

You have your way with the ladies.

All Affection and Obedience gains with females will double.

Lustful is not too bad for a trait. I was always lustful, it just depends on if I go full on crazy or am able to retain control over myself.

Okay, third time's the charm. Let's roll this one last time and see what I get this time around. Will hopefully make it this last one for now.

Trait Gained

[Remorseless]

You are a cold and calculating son of a bitch who would not blink an eye while lying to others or backstabbing newborn puppies if it means that you can achieve your goals.

Perk Gained

[Genius]

Class experience and stat gains doubles.

Not bad. Not bad at all for my starting set.

Get ready to start the game in 5….

4….

3….

2….

1….

-Scene Change-

I find myself in a room with a small bed which looks quite worn off. After looking around I can see that most of the things are old and cheap. It smells dusty indicating the lack of cleaning around the room. The most eye catching part of the room is the windows which have bars across them. Looks like it's around midnight. Is this area not safe? Food for thought for another time. Just where the hell am I?

Quest Added

[Where in the blazes am I?]

Objective: Find information about yourself and your surroundings.

Reward: You get to know where you are, Memories of your body,?,?.

Failure: Get old and die lonely in a room because you are too dumb and lazy.

Accept : Y/N.

Accepting the quest I get on with the task at hand. Okay first let's start with myself. If I remember correctly about the gamer systems then I should start off with Status.
