And so it begins : Part 2

Harry J., Human (Magical), bars on the windows. Might as well put one of those up my ass. I am in fucking Harry Potter in more ways than one. I am in the Harry Potter world and inside the Harry Potter universe. This place is 4, Privet Drive home of those creepy Dursleys. Atleast looking at my body I am not a fucking kid, so I guess I am already in Hogwarts. It must be after the school year if I have to stay here for break.

Looking around I find my wand and a trunk.

Observe shows the stats of the wand.

Harry Potter's Wand

Holly wood and phoenix feather wand used by Harry J. Potter.

It was made by Garrick Olivander.

Acts as a Magical Focus for Wizarding Magic

+100 to Magic attacks when using the wand.

Well, that takes care of who and where I am part.

Quest Completed

[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.

Skill Gained

[ID Create]

Creates an Instant Dungeon.

Current Dungeons.

[Undead]

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

And then it hits me like a truck filled with a ton of bricks. The memories of this body as the game says. Every instant from when he was a kid to the present time.

Turns out this world is not exactly the world of Harry Potter that I have read about. There are some differences. Some very MAJOR differences.

Starting with the crux of my problems Harry is not 'The-Boy-Who-Lived'.

Harry's parents Lily Potter and James Potter are still alive.

Harry's brother Alex Potter is 'The-Boy-Who-Lived'.

Harry was sent to the Dursleys because his parents had to train Alex Potter to fulfill the prophecy and couldn't waste their time on another child. So the master of all fuckeries Albus Dumbledore suggested to them that they should send him to Lily's sister's home so that he could stay protected.

Fat chance of that happening.

Then comes Hogwarts and the start of all the crap. Story goes on Harry gets sorted into Slytherin and all hell breaks loose.

All the so called light side look at him as if he was a plague and the dark side already hates him because of his 'family'.

He still does all the things he did in the books but all the credit goes to 'The-Boy-Who-Lived' because apparently the sun shines right out of his ass.

Finally a week ago Sirius Black dies in the Ministry because Alex had a vision through his link with Voldemort and ran ahead like a true idiot down to his very toe nails. And when all is said and done Dumbledore comes in and rescues his ass back to Hogwarts where like countless previous times he blames it all on the poor little Slytherin. And apparently the chronic bully James Motherfucking Potter agrees with it. Finally being fed up of their fuckery Harry snaps and confesses that all the previous years it had been him who was saving everyone and not Alex which results in him being disowned by James Potter because apparently a Slytherin can't ever do a good thing in their lives and he is trying to 'steal' Alex's fame.

He gets shipped back to the Dursley's to keep him safe.

What kind of badly written fanfiction is this?

Well this explains why my name is only Harry J. and not Harry J. Potter.

Fuck I don't like this name. I don't have anything against all the Harrys and Potters in the world but I just don't like this name.

Hey, game can I change my name. I thought that's the first thing people do in character creation. Why am I given this name by default?

The Host will get a chance to change his name through specified events. You are advised to keep an open mind while playing. This world is not exactly the Potterverse you know. The Gamer's first world is made by senior Gamers who have put their own tastes into the world. While the worlds might seem similar, you will find out more the more you explore.

First things first. Get the fuck out of here. I am no one's puppet. The sooner I leave this place the better.

Looking around in my trunk I find something interesting.

The invisibility cloak which the previous host of this body had snuck out from his fucking bitch of a brothers trunk.

Using Observe on it shows some interesting information.

Cloak of invisibility

One of the three Deathly Hallows crafted by Death herself.

Grants invisibility to the wielder.

Stealth skills gain a massive increase in proficiency when wearing this Cloak.

I must be happy when looking at this Cloak but it does nothing more than making my non-existent spidey senses go haywire.

Death actually exists in this world. It was theorized that it was fake and they were just some super rare artifacts or something, but if Death really exists in this world then it changes a lot of things.

What is the true peak strength of this world?. Is that greater good bastard not the strongest person in this world? Are there stronger people, creatures in the world?

What exactly is going on…..where do I stand as I am.

I feel myself calming down as Gamers Mind washes away all the anxiety from my head and gives me the ability to control my thoughts once again.

Well Death exists, so I guess I just have to become stronger and one day perhaps I can meet…. Her. So she's a chick, well good for me. I am not that good with men anyways. Maybe I could even convince her to make a deal with me…hey, if the Peverells could then why can't I?

Quest Received

[A Dance with Death]

You want to meet with Death. Sure, Why not. But beings of her power don't just meet anyone. You have to work your way up to her and convince her to make a deal with you. People nowadays have forgotten the courage needed to face a being like Death. Can you prove yourself to be different than them? Show the world your courage.

Objective - Go to Gringotts and claim what is rightfully yours.

Rewards – New name and freedom from the status as no name, Increased Affection with Death, ?.

Failure – Get stuck as a no name nobody and lose the chance to talk with Death, Decreased Affection with Death.

Accept : Y/N.

… are you serious?

Higher beings like Death can hear people when they think about them. Host should be careful when using their names as it does affect the Affection and reputation gains with them.

Well…. Shit just got real. I still accept the quest.

Let's see what I can do to get the fuck out of here. I am pretty sure there are tracking charms in this place so if I try to leave without their permission they are going to screw me over, lock me up and throw me back here. I cannot apparate so getting out of the range of the wards fast enough is not easy. As soon as I cross the ward it will alert the guards of the Order of the roasted turkey. Guess before going anywhere I should grind a bit. After all personal strength is bound to help me in my escape.

Time to try my first dungeon out, holding my wand in my right hand and donning the Invisibility cloak I use the skill ID Create [Undead]

A portal appears in front of me. Jumping inside I find a dying town like those cowboy movies with zombies walking around. Using Observe on them shows the stats of the zombies.

Zombie

Level- 5

HP- 250

Maintaining a suitable distance I cast a shadow ball on the zombie , doing decent damage and taking down more than half of its HP, it turns towards my general direction and closes the distance with a very slow speed. Apparently being dead does a number with one's reaction time. The Invisibility Cloak just helps out even more.

A quick second shadow ball follows the first one and ends the zombie. It does attract the attention of other zombies. At this rate I will have to wait for a minute after killing each zombie. The hardships of low leveled players are something only gamers can understand.

There are probably more zombies in this area and the best way to attract them seems to be sound. I am currently invisible and I would like to keep it like that for the duration of the fight. Picking up a piece of a broken fence I walk over to a tin sign board near a bar…or whatever is left of it and smash it with all my strength. I keep ringing it till I can see over 11 zombies around me taking cover behind the board, I let them all get closer and when they are in touching distance of each other. I use shadow spike. It is a piercing type attack and for the current me who doesn't have any aoe skills this is the best I can do. Hopefully it pierces through two or more zombies and helps me conserve as much of my mana as I can.

Throwing some stones on the tin board I keep their attention towards it while sniping them with shadow spikes. A few hits strike more than one zombie giving me a better overall damage output. After repeating this process till the tin board gives out under the hits from the stones and zombies which is a good two hours and the zombies in the surroundings are almost clear. I get a decent amount of loot and level ups too.

My total income includes a short dagger which looks like something an assassin would have. It does have a cool effect though.

Maria's Dagger

+50 melee damage and a chance to cause paralysis for 5 seconds.

This gives me a decent melee weapon…well anything is better than being empty handed as I am sure I can use my wand for melee attacks. At Least I won't be defenseless when I no longer have mana to attack with magic.

2 END Stat crystals and 1 DEX stat Crystal. Endurance never hurts. I will always appreciate extra HP and SP.

END Stat Crystal

Use to gain +5 END

DEX Stat Crystal

Use to gain +5 DEX

Using them on myself I feel my body bulk up a slight bit. While it might still be a very small increase, for me it's two times my initial END. The effects are quite apparent.

On reaching level 5 I got some new skills from umbramancer too.

Skill Gained

[Shadow Bind] (Active)

Binds the target's shadow and paralyzes the target. The target can break free if its STR is greater than the caster's INT.

Cost 50 MP/ min.

Skill Gained

[Shadow Walk] (Active)

Teleport a short distance between shadows.

Range INT x 1m.

Cost 50 MP.

I did spend a decent amount of time here. If I remember correctly the time when I entered the ID it was around midnight so I have around 3 more hours before anyone will disturb me. If I grind my levels till then I will hopefully get the range of my Shadow Walk enough to do short distance teleportation and out of this fucking zoo.

Planning to continue with the same hunting plans I notice a certain change in the surroundings. It's very quiet…..almost too quiet.

The sound of something being dragged on the ground makes me turn in a certain direction. Peeking from under my hiding place I spot a bigger than average zombie dragging what looks like a chain made of metal rusted around the edges … the fuck is this a biker zombie without a bike.

Observe shows it's not something much different.

Thug Zombie

Level -15

Rank- Veteran

HP- 3000

The Veteran Rank must mean something if its level and HP ratio is anything to go by. Okay… Sneak attacks it is.

Following my sure fire hunting method I use Shadow Ball on the thug zombie, it surprises me by not being stopped by the hit and instead runs in my direction. Its speed is quite fast for an undead. In fact it is faster than my current speed if only by a little. That DEX stat crystal came at a good time. Sneaking out of the way right on time to have the place where I was hiding being hit by the chain that the zombie carried and FUCK it shattered the wooden cart I was hiding behind in a single hit. The cart might have been old and rotten but that's not a hit I would like to take with my body. Quickly casting Shadow Bind on the zombie, I can see it struggling to break free so its STR must be near 80. Yup, definitely not taking that hit if I can avoid it.

I hit it with all the spells I have in that time after a salvo of 5 Shadow Balls and 2 Shadow Spikes. I renew the Shadow Bind just in time as it breaks out.

It takes two more Shadow Spikes to finish it off. The enemies are getting stronger. This tactic won't work soon enough when the enemies have more strength than my INT.

Even this Thug Zombie would have been able to break my Shadow Bind if not for my Genius perk giving me double stat gain.

The game will keep getting harder. I must change my hunting plans. This is still the newbie slime phase for all I know.

The thug zombie does drop some decent loot a stat crystal of LCK, a set of boots and a, what is that again.

Gacha Ticket

Allows the Gamer to draw an item from the gacha. It can be anything from a copper coin to a legendary weapon or skill.

I have mixed feelings about gacha. I have wasted enough money on online games I played after gacha that I am wary about them but at the same time, the items they can give someone is game changing at times and right now, I need exactly that. I need to have every bit of power I can…..not to mention that I am not spending any money for them.

Let it roll.

Ring of the Archmage

Increases MP regen by 25%, INT by 50 and gives the user the ability to remove any spell, curse or enhancement from anything and put it on another 3 times per day.

Wow, that has so much potential if used correctly. Let's check the boots and see what they offer.

Boots of the Swift

Increases DEX by 20 and gives the Skill [Feather Footed] to the user.

[Feather Footed] (Active)

Increase DEX by 50% for a duration of 20 seconds. Cool Down time 10 minutes.

I equip both the items and use the LCK crystal.

The Thug Zombie did give a decent amount of experience. I did gain more than 1 level from it. I guess the Veteran Rank had something to do with it.

Yes host. High Tier beings have higher strengths than their stats display.

It is as follows.

Regular – No Bonus

Veteran – 2x stats bonus

Elite- 4x stats bonus

Champion – 6x stats bonus

Ultimate Champion – 8x stats bonus

Divine Champion – 10x stats bonus.

Moreover different races have different stat multipliers. For example for a Human(Magical) 10 INT might give only 250 MP but for something like a Dragon it's 1000, even more for higher tier Dragons.
