(Chapter 1: Spiraling Start)
After having died in a shitty way to go via getting my house broken into and gunned down I've found myself floating in the void of who knows what, for what has felt like years considering that time flowed differently here. Yet after so long I'd finally get a message that would change my life after spending a seeming eternity in the void floating, and contemplating my life with repetition after repetition in order to prevent myself from going absolutely mad from boredom.
(?, 20?, 11:49 Pm)
It'd been who knows how long since I died that night, all I know is that maybe this is my supposed hell seeing as how I wasn't exactly the poster boy for good deeds and such.
"Well, this is a new turn of events." The man said as he saw a sapphire-colored light appear
Congratulations you've now been selected to be a Gamer...select your universe
Selected universes are as follows (Bleach, Highschool DXD, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Naruto, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Percy Jackson, Game of Thrones)
"Let's see as much as I like DC and Marvel that's a no go because there's no way I'm letting myself get smacked around by people who are the literal equivalent to Gods or better yet are Gods. Since there's too much fun I want to have. Which also crosses out Percy Jackson as well." The man said to himself knowing those 3 were out because he knew that he didn't want to fuck around and piss off Iron Man or Superman because of his soon to be antics
"I'd also have to say no to The Old Republic because as much as I'd love to be a badass Sith. I have no intention of dealing with my master I trying to take over my body in what would be the first part of the story or blowing me up because I'm too good at my job. So until I'm stronger then sadly Star Wars is a no go." The man spoke as sadly his dreams of being a Sith badass would have to be on hold for now
"Game of Thrones is a definite no go. Since I really don't feel like having to deal with constantly getting backstabbed by power-hungry jackasses like in my last life, and neither do I have the mental capacity to deal with or put up with anyone..especially that little shit Joffrey." The man spoke considering that he didn't want to have to put up with the constant betrayals and looking over his shoulder and neither did he want to have to placate insane bastards like Joffrey
"That only leaves 3 options left, now let's look at my remaining options." The man thought to himself
"Highschool DXD is obviously out. Because despite it being cleverly masked as a harem anime, that place is fucking nightmare with all the bullshit powerful people in there, and starting out there would be a tactical mistake. Even if all the girls there are hot and somehow that fucking dumbass Issei managed to get them all, as the man calls himself a proclaimed harem king and yet does nothing with all of those girls and the power to slay gods. If I ever see that little shit he's dead." The man swore to himself as Issei was one of the most irritating things about Highschool DXD in his opinion
New mission Objective
Revolt against the Harem King
Objective: Kill Issei Hyoudou and assert yourself as the new protagonist.
Reward 1: ? EXP
Reward 2: ? Items, ? Items
(Accept: Y/N)
"This an obvious one, as your days are numbered you little shit." The man spoke easily accepting the quest and all of what would soon be his
"Now then it's between Naruto and Bleach, as both are freaking awesome. But which to choose...well I guess to make things easier would be a coin flip. Tails I go to Naruto and Heads for Bleach." The man added as he flipped a half-dollar into the void as it slowly came back down and landed in his palm
"Well I guess I choose Naruto then." The man spoke as another message appeared
You've chosen the Narutoverse as your starting gamer world. Now select your starting village.
(Konoha, Suna, Iwa, Kumo, or Kiri)
"Konoha of course, as hopefully I'm not relegated to being a side character. Since if I'm playing the game then I think I deserve to be the main character or at least a supporting one." The man spoke as two messages opened up
Due to request, a quest-line has opened up
Master the Beast
Due to the interesting request, the system has decided to give you the optional questline.
If you accept this quest-line you shall replace the titular character as host of the 9 tails.
Objective 1: Master the 9 tails chakra before the end of series
Objective 2: Earn maximum reputation and obedience with Kurama the 9 tailed fox before end of series
Objective 3: Kill Obito Uchiha before end of series
Reward 1: 27 Levels to all classes
Reward 2: 6 random perks
Reward 3: 18 ? Cards
(Accept (Y/N)
"Fuck the hell yes I'm accepting, as I'd have to be a complete and utter dumbass not to!" The man exclaimed as he quickly accepted yes
Now then select your class
(Fighter, Healer, Mage, Rogue)
"Obviously Mage, as mages are fucking awesome." The man spoke as he selected Mage immediately
Select Specialization
(Elementalist, Necromancer, Illusionist, Summoner)
"Elementalist is overrated since throwing around the elements like you're the last Airbender has been done to death. Not really caring about summoning so that's out, and making people trip the fuck out as Illusionist doesn't hold a candle to the awesomeness that is Necromancer. Because no one truly understands how awesome using the power of undeath is too make people rot and wither or summoning up undead to have your own army of zombies." The man spoke as he felt that people truly underestimated the awesomeness of being a necromancer
You've selected the Necromancer class

"Well time to do some spending." The man spoke as he began investing his Stat points
That in mind put several points in Strength, 8 points into Dexterity to make it not suck so much, 4 points into Vitality, 12 points into Intelligence so he could have more mana for spells, 11 into wisdom knowing he'd need it for the mana regeneration, 4 into Charisma and 6 into Luck. Which left him with 8 left and so with stat points well spent he decided that he was done and that it was time to kiss the void goodbye and begin a whole new life.
(September 13th 994 S.E, 10:53 pm, Konohagakure)
It was the dead of night as the man woke up in an alleyway in the midst of the night, and found it awkward that it was like this
"What the hell am I doing in an alleyway?" The man or rather Gamer questioned himself
Due to you having overtaken Naruto Uzumaki's life as your own, your starting point has now taken on a more adult and realistic beginning than originally created in canon. Considering how you are the host of Kurama you are more or less seen as a monster, and thusly kicked out of your apartment for being seen as such.
"Well, that explains it." The Gamer spoke as he saw that his new name was now Gohan Uzumaki
' At least I get named after one of the most badass Dragon Ball characters, even if he did peak super early.' The now named Gohan thought to himself feeling happy that his name was in honor of the son of Goku
"Since I'm already hated and seen as a pariah, I might as well started on building up my army. After all, if this is pretty much a grittier version of Naruto and already I have people hating my guts." Gohan spoke as the moment he walked out of the alleyway he saw people staring at him with hate, disgust and vitriol
"Look here boys its the demon walkin' around." A drunk villager spoke
"And since it doesn't have his guards around this time, we can finally get to punishing it for what its done." Another spoke brandishing a crowbar
'Really...I have to deal with this trope...I know it said gritty realism, but even this is pushing it.' Gohan thought to himself as the whole villagers hating Naruto trope while a good one was a bit of overblown one at that
"You shut your mouth you damn demon, as its time to pay for you killing little sister!" An auburn-haired villager cried out as she threw a rock at Gohan who with his physical resistance took 2 points of damage
"Yeah let's get him!" Another shouted slashing a kitchen knife against his 13-year-old body that made him take another 3 points of damage
"Well at least I know who my victims are, and the bonus is since you attacked me first I can claim self-defense." Gohan replied as he grabbed the villager who hit him with the knife and with his bare hands bent the knife in half and used the broken shards to stab him in the chest causing 20 points of damage
"Wow you guys are frail, but then again I am stronger than you so that's a given," Gohan spoke stabbing him with the shard causing another 20 points of damage as the man was bleeding out and proceeded to use Drain Life to drain his remaining health into him and heal his missing HP
"T-The demon killed him." The woman stuttered before she was casually struck down by Ray of Death causing her body to wither
"Yeah what the fuck did you think was gonna happen? Because y'all pushing me around is over, as now all of you are dead and the best part is you won't be missed because you're all cannon fodder for my path to power." Gohan spoke as he charged up Rays of Death
With Gohan having shot out multiple Rays of Death that struck their targets head on and in mere moments were corpses lying dead at his feet. with him then proceeding too put them into his inventory to be later converted into his legions of undead.
Congratulations you've made your first kill(s) and made the first steps to asserting your dominance. So here are your rewards.
450XP
5 Stat Points
+5 Obedience to Kurama for showing you will not be pushed around Obedience (5/100)
Congratulations you've made it to Level 2
+5 INT
+5 WIS
'Well, it looks like I'm gonna be well on my way towards being a badass necromancer.' Gohan spoke as he put the corpses away in his inventory to convert to undead later
(3 months later, December 26th 994 S.E)
It was winter as Gohan in his new home in the Forest of Death both because he knew that with the inhabitants of Konoha having their bias in thinking he was the 9 tails he wouldn't be able to have a proper home, which was why he settled here and besides it was free XP and chances to level himself up and his abilities to their limit before the start of Part 1 of Naruto.
"I gotta say that as cliche as it this is going to sound, the cold doesn't bother me anymore." Gohan thought as he sat down on a patch of snow and looked up at the cloud-filled sky
"Besides at least in here I don't have these idiot villagers bothering me, and I get the chance to grow my power in peace. The only downside is that I can't go murdering all willy nilly, otherwise the big boys or worse yet the 3rd Hokage and even Danzo will catch on and I can't really have that. So I guess that puts the growth on my legion of undead on hold for now
"Anyways I might as well see how far I've come." Gohan spoke as he pulled up the screen to check his stats what abilities he's gained

"Well, at least I've got some really good spells going on." Gohan thought to himself as he closed off the stats screen before he heard a roar
What in the actual hell is going on." Gohan wondered as he saw 3 large reddish-brown colored bears with dark blue eyes staring back at him
Dire Grizzly
Level 14
HP: 1,350/1,350
CP:50/50
STR: 36
DEX: 17
VIT 26
INT: 5
WIS: 7
CHA: 9
LUC: 8
XP GAIN: 310
Description: Like all animals within the Forest of Death have been mutated by the abundance of chakra in the ecosystem. Even more so due to the 9 tails attack 14 years ago.
That in mind he cast Create Undead twice summoning up 2 Skeleton Horde's each in piecemeal leather armor and armed with war pike's, morningstar's, flails and shields; with him sending the forces out against the two dire grizzly's who were unprepared for the 20 armed skeletons rushing towards them. With the two bears clawing out at the skeletons who did battle against the trio of dire bears, as Gohan was quite content at the way his skeletons were fighting the bears who were kept off guard by the undead threat; with him doing ranged support via his Ray of Death attacks so as to rain death damage against his new targets.
With him seeing that a handful of his skeletons were running low on health he activated the Corpse Bomb ability and saw 250 points of damage were dealt to the bears as toxic cobalt blue and pale green miasma erupted from them. That in mind the number of his skeletons continued to dwindle if slightly while he provided ranged support, with Rays of Death in a Gatling gun-like manner, that soon enough had the dire bears were in the double digits of health before 3 more of his skeletons burst from the Corpse Bomb ability killing them.
That in mind he had his now 13 remaining skeletons step aside to allow him to collect his prizes which were 3 dire bear pelts and about 5 pounds of dire grizzly meat, as well at the 930 XP gained from killing them as he collected his prizes. With him being glad that he could sell these come spring for some additional cash, so that way he could get to work on buying armor for his living armors; however a loud clicking noise that was probably attracted from all the bloodshed.
"Well, this should be fun." Gohan thought to himself as he saw a large emerald-colored centipede the size of a small house glaring at him
Dire Centipede
Level: 18
HP: 1,950/1,950
CP: 60/60
STR: 39
DEX: 19
VIT 30
INT:7
WIS: 8
CHA: 8
LUC:8
XP Gain: 390
Description: Like all animals this centipede has mutated due to the saturation. This creature can fold up into its hardened shell to defend itself against physical attacks.
"Well here goes nothing." Gohan spoke giving the order for his remaining skeletons to swarm the creature
That in mind once the remaining 13 skeletons got in range he had them explode thanks to his Corpse Bomb ability, which caused 650 points of damage and while the necromancer was happy that he managed to take out a 3rd of its health. He knew full well that it wouldn't be enough and proceeded to dart off while the dire centipede gave chase to him, while Gohan was breaking out into a full sprint before using his strength to make a leap onto one of the nearby tree branches to escape from the dire centipede.
Yet it was in vain as the large centipede crawled and curled its way up the massive tree trunk with Gohan shooting out Rays of Death at it in a rapid-fire pace, managing to get several shots off before it soon was face to face with him and lunged at him. With the necromancer managing to catch one its pincers from impaling him, while one caught him in the gut causing 95 points of damage with 2 hidden ones soon jutting out and forcing him to break off contact from it while the hidden pincers tore at him causing 70 points of damage respectively.
With him deciding to use Create Undead to summon up Bayrok's which were grayish skinned corpses that wore leather armor with razor-sharp claws and armed with short-bows which he ordered to open fire, with their short-bows releasing arrows which were sent flying towards the dire centipede who curled up into a ball which halved the damage dealt. Nonetheless, it gave Gohan some time to recover while his undead minions continued to fire upon the dire centipede, while Gohan was deep in thought of how he could ramp up his abilities to further.
"I swear I need to level up more quickly since there's only so much I can do against these creatures. Much less when the real story starts and I gotta go up against people like Zabuza or god forbid the badass himself Kisame." Gohan said as he knew he needed to get stronger faster
"Hopefully when I do take over this place that I can recruit Kisame, as having the tailless beast on my side and the most badass of the 7 Swordsman would be awesome." Gohan added as in his opinion Kisame Hoshigaki was the most awesome swordsman in Naruto
After his brief period of fanboying over the Akatsuki member, Gohan turned his attention back on the dire centipede who after the repeated attacks was whittled down to 705, before he joined the fight and ran up to it once he saw it opened up from its shell-like ball and began attacking. That in mind he clamped down onto it and cast Drain Life thrice in order to regain more of his lost health, before proceeding to blast Rays of Death into its hardened carapace.
With it being once it was whittled down to below 300 health after having defeated 3 of his Bayrok's he decided to end it, via having his remaining once explode due to his Corpse Bomb ability which finished it off with each. With the drops from it now only being experience but also it's carapace which he felt could be used to be traded in for armor, because he knew full well from experience that necromancer's while badass didn't have much in the way of armor and defense like that; because he knew that should his undead hordes fail he would need something to cover his ass.
"Well this has been a productive day," Gohan said with how today has gone
"Once my MP and HP are filled back up I can go back and hunt some more and possibly get halfway to my next level before nightfall. Not only that but I can get shelter set up before one of the snowstorms hit." Gohan spoke in having throughout his time in the Forest of Death learned to make shelters
"Now then the only thing that's a waste of time is the stupid academy, as everyone with a few exceptions are so damned annoying. Perhaps later on I can get rid of Kiba and Akamaru for myself, as I'm sure he'd make a fantastic hellhound and familiar. Not only that but get rid of Sakura and possibly Ino, seeing as how they're relatively useless at this point. So many decisions on who to get rid of." Gohan mused as to whom he should get rid of and who would be in my way
"Then there's Sasuke. Since he was a great character..well great before Itachi further mindfucked him and sent him the path to Orochimaru where granted he was still pretty good but not what he could've been. Well, now that I'm here I can prevent that and possibly have him under my thumb. Now that would be wonderful in having a general to serve me in my eventual plans as a lord of undeath." Gohan spoke since in his past life he did quite enjoy Sasuke's character

"This is an obvious and easy answer, but what the fuck are Gacha Tokens?" Gohan wondered before another message appeared
Gacha Tokens: These Tokens allow for one random skill or companion to be one.
"Well that makes things more interesting." Gohan thought before he went elsewhere to hunt
(1 month later, January 28th, 995 S.E, Hokage Tower, 12:25 Pm)
It was the new year as Hiruzen was with Danzo over one subject that being over Gohan's growth in strength and change in personality, which even Hiruzen had to admit was concerning from him having gone from a cheerful and boisterous young man to driven, angry and at times ruthless individual.
"I'm telling you Hiruzen something must be done about the boy." Danzo spoke in referencing Gohan's growth of power and change in personality
"I will tell you this, like I have been for the past decade that you will not put him into ROOT. As he still deserves the chance of living as close to a normal childhood as possible. Not to be made into a war machine." Hiruzen rebuked the warhawk as he refused to let Gohan be put into his clutches
"Oh come off it now Hiruzen, you and I both know that his childhood has been anything but normal. Since the villagers have damned him to a life of being a pariah, and hate him like he was spawned from the pits of the underworld itself. So why do you continue with this false illusion that he'll be like anyone else. Because you and I both know that the light in him that you've tried so hard to keep bright is gone and that he's not the precious boy you've tried so hard to shield is gone." Danzo countered in knowing that the bright and cheerful boy Hiruzen saw as a surrogate grandson had practically died and been replaced by something cruel and sinister
"Because my ROOT agents have seen the boy spend his time constantly in the Forest of Death, with them saying that he smells of blood and death. Since I'm sure that even you can see that every time you look in his eyes the light of innocence is gone and instead there's cold, even pragmatic hate in them." Danzo added in knowing that Gohan from what they knew him as had changed
Because with them now dealing with the Gamer version of Gohan who was like a shark cold, unforgiving and ruthless; since even Danzo knew that with the way he's been treated in the village that with his mindset as it was now that it wouldn't take much for him to decide to take retribution on the villagers.
"Even Iruka has reported to on Gohan's changes. As for the most part I thought it was Gohan taking things seriously in the academy, until during one of the sparring matches when he went up against Kiba. Since he's still getting over his broken ribs and sternum." Hiruzen spoke considering that it took Iruka himself to pull Gohan off of the Inuzuka heir as he beat the tar out of him
"Besides, the boy is even wising up to the fact that you've kept Anbu watching him, because for all of the boy's prior immaturity. He's shown himself to be quite perceptive and intelligent, with him proving to be the Nara's equal and soon enough superior if time is anything to go by." Danzo replied as Gohan had for all of his reclusiveness into the Forest of Death proven himself to be quite smart to say the least
"Minato and Kushina would be both ashamed and proud of how he's begun to turn out. With him showing himself to be such a talented young boy, but the growing darkness in his heart is something that can't be overlooked." Hiruzen said in knowing that both parents would be proud of his talents and intellect yet ashamed of the fact that he let such darkness to foster and grow itself inside their son
"One thing that can be ruled out is the fact that the 9 tails is influencing him. Because my operatives have so far seen no attempts or even so much of an iota of its chakra being tapped into." Danzo told the 3rd Hokage that so far no contact with the tailed beast had been made
"That is so far great news. Because with the way that Gohan has been progressing and acting, the 9 tails influencing him would be a disaster waiting to happen." Hiruzen spoke in relief at the fact that the 9 tails hadn't made contact with Gohan otherwise things would be looking in far more dire straits
"Still Hiruzen even you have to admit that the changes in the boy are more than likely for the best. " Danzo remarked causing a small bit of killer intent to be sent his way
"Choose your words carefully Danzo. Because I mave have declined from what I once was as the God of Shinobi, but I am still capable of showing you why even now I am the 3rd Hokage." Hiruzen warned him as this was still dangerous territory he was treading on
"What I am saying Hiruzen is that these changes going on within him are for the better. With you almost convinently forgetting that the villagers have not been the best towards him and that the changes in him right now are not just because he is the jinchuuriki of the 9 tails. But because he's been stripped away of any illusion of kindness the world has and as a result has had to harden himself against a place that he feels is out to get him." Danzo told him in knowing that Gohan from his point of view was most likely having to change himself as such because he felt that he had to be ruthless to survive in a place that absolutely hated him
"You can live in your fantasy world much all you want, but him being seen as a hero Hiruzen is as likely as Tsunade ever going sober; considering how the villagers hate him too much. Since sure enough you can think that he can work hard enough to change his opinion of them, and see him as a hero and something good. However, have you ever thought that he doesn't want the villager's admiration anymore and instead just outright hates them back." Danzo added with his one single eye staring at Hiruzen with a cold harsh truth
Since one unfortunate truth was the fact that Gohan had come to a realization that he was within a place that hated him and often wished him dead, and because of such things as villagers who outright made their hate known for them or drunken mobs that would form to try and beat and sometimes kill him. With even a brazen enough villager going out of their way to beat him to a pulp in his youth out of hate for the 9 tails, it was a no brainer that Gohan's changes to the two elder ninja had happened as something that was completely inevitable.
"All I've ever tried since Minato's death and having to take back the hat was too make sure the boy was seen as a hero to these people. Yet for all my best efforts in trying to do so, the village has wound up crushing the good boy I've known and started to transform him into something sinister." Hiruzen said in having tried throughout his 2nd reign to make the boy who he saw as his surrogate grandson live as close to a happy childhood as possible
"The only thing that can be done now Hiruzen is for a close eye to be kept on him, despite his chakra not being unlocked he shouldn't be underestimated. If anything he should be seen as prodigious, because he may not be as fast as his father was. But his strength, intellect and perceptiveness outstrip most of his peers by a far mile. So, adding to it that once his chakra is unlocked and he'll be something extraordinary." Danzo remarked at the fact that Gohan should have a close eye kept on him
"Even still, who should keep an eye on him is the better question? Seeing as how we still teams are being chosen this time around, and we can't simply have anyone watching over him." Hiruzen spoke knowing that with genin teams being chosen that the amount of high-class shinobi that could watch him were in short supply
"Regardless the boy needs to be watched over. Because with no real love for the village and any real ties to the village, then his chances of leaving the village or betraying it will skyrocket in time. Especially with him having become clearly self-reliant and self-sufficient." Danzo replied as he knew that with nothing to really tie him down then he would easily have reason to leave Konoha, and would do well for himself due to him having been shown to be quite self-sufficient
"Agreed. Hopefully when he graduates and makes it onto a genin team, that he'll be able to better foster bonds with his fellow genin and give him true ties to the village this way." Hiruzen said in hoping that once Gohan got onto a genin team that he'd be able to foster bonds with the villagers
That in mind more words were said between them before Danzo went on about his way to continue further management of ROOT, with Hiruzen feeling his age catch up to him as he only hoped that he'd be able to stem the growing darkness in the jinchuuriki's heart.
So then with the gamer having taken over Naruto's life and set upon the path of a Necromancer we see him focused on his path to power, for how will he go about accomplishing his goals. Well, you'll have to find out in the new chapters of A Necromancer's Path to Power.
And cut as I hope you guys like my new attempt at a Gamer story, with this being inspired by A Gamer's Guide to Necromancy by The Dark Wolf Shiro who was kind enough to let me use his Gamer system for the story with the Necromancy abilities being based on the Necromancer CYOA by the Scientist and some D&D 5th edition as well. But without further ado let's get down to it now shall we.
First up we've got The Gamer/Gohan in the Void going through and choosing his universe and class which I thought would be dope in having a necromancer in the Naruto universe. Not only that but the idea of him basically overshadowing Naruto was an idea I liked for the fact that it would allow me to do a lot more stuff with him.
Next up we've got Gohan waking up in the village and killing off some villager's to add to his army, since unlike most Gamer stories Gohan is going to be at most Lawful Evil and at best Neutral to Lawful Neutral. Because he's gonna be someone that gets his hands dirty and if your in his way then either join or die with no exceptions.
Following that up, we've got some showing off of what Gohan can do as a Necromancer which I thought would be pretty cool to do.
Lastly we've got a bit between Hiruzen and Danzo concerning Gohan which I thought would be neat to do in establishing that Gohan's insertion of being the main character has had ramifications, considering that his insertion into the timeline changes things such as what would've been Naruto's childhood.
That being said please favorite, follow, review and share this story as much as possible; because I'd like to see how far this story can be taken and become something pretty dope in the long run. Also please remember that flames won't be tolerated since they're merely a waste of everyone's time, and the fact that I appreciate constructive criticism as long as you do it in a well thought out and respectable manner.
With all that being said this is Pravus666 signing out until next time, with the next chapter among other things having Gohan have a run in with Anko. So stay tuned for all of that
