First of all thank you for taking the time to read this little fic of mine, English is not my first language but I love it and when I decided that I wanted to write this I chose to write it in it, as such you can expect to find grammatical mistakes inside here but I hope that it won't stop you from enjoying my work. This idea was inspired by my nearly 10 years of fanfiction reading and the amazing work of too many writers for my to properly name and I hope that you really enjoy it. I'll love to hear any advice or criticism that you want to offer in the comments and why out further ado the disclaimer

Disclaimer: I do not own neighter fate grand order, Highschool DxD or The Gamer, all of them belong to their original authors and I highly recommend the source material for this fic

If you were to ask Al what he thought of his last moments alive his answer would be along the lines of "sudden but It could be worse".

It was a fairly normal Monday night, taking the subway back home from college Al was passing the time by playing his Fate grand order. He decided to read some of his favourite Servants profiles after running out of Ap when suddenly the train lurched violently. He lost his footing and felt his head hit something hard before everything went dark.

A second or so later Al found himself seemingly floating in the middle of nowhere. Vast and all-consuming darkness stretched around him, he couldn't see his own hands in front of him let alone if there was anything around him.

'Oookay, where am I?' he thought to himself with a strange calmness that didn't correspond to the seemingly unnatural situation he found himself in. Before he could ponder on that thought a bright light shined in front of him.

[Congratulation, you died.] Read the golden letters that appeared before him. [If you can see this message then you have been chosen for a second chance to live your life in a different world with the power of The Gamer.]

'What?'.

[The power of the Gamer allows its user to live life as if it was a game with stats, skills and everything in between. regrettably, your original word is incompatible with this power so you will be moved to a random world across the multiverse to start your journey.]

'What?!'.

[As an extra assurance to increase your compatibility with your new life and power set some of your personal information will be permanently and irreversibly scramble,]

'WHAT?!'.

[BUT do not worry for in exchange you will receive a boon in the form of a new avatar taken from a random selection of your favourite characters, granting you access to their skills and abilities so that you may start this particular and wacky adventure with a bit of a headstart. Also, a New gamers pack with a set of 'basic' amenities will be added to your inventory to facilitate your initial transition.]

'Wait a second?! What does any of this mean, Scrambled personal info? Avatar? I don't understand!' he tried to scream at the floating letters only now realising that he didn't have a voice or even a mouth to be able to.

[No time to explain, your new adventure in the Life of the Gamer starts now, I really hope you read the webtoon or at the very least a fanfiction using this mechanic or this is going to be really confusing for you.]

The moment they open their eyes again the scenery had changed once more. They were laying on a soft surface in the middle of some kind of room, a fairly normal beige couch and a living room respectively, judging by their peripheral vision. Before any other observations could be made a new golden text appeared before them.

[Transfer to start location complete.]

[Hello gamer and welcome to the tutorial of the game system, our first order of business is to finalize the setting of your avatar so let's get to that please think 'status' to continue] read the new message. By the time their eyes reach the word 'status' they could fell a strange tingling feeling wash over them.

{STATUS}

[Status]

[Name: ?]

[Lv:1]

[Class: The Gamer]

[Establishing a connection to the avatar… status updated] a sharp pain pierced their head. A sharp pain pierced.

A sharp pain pierced her head, leaving her dazed while she tried to alleviate by massaging the forehead with her hand. Suddenly she stopped, her body frozen stiff with realization when her mind finally seems to clear off a previously unknown heaviness and began to process her situation.

'ok, what just happen? I remember dying and then these floating letters seem to tell me that I'm somehow in a game. I woke up here and I couldn't remember anything, in fact, I don't even know my name or what I look like, does this has something to do with the whole information scrambling thing?' A new message from the game appeared in front of her eyes but she ignores it.

'Also it seems that only knowledge about myself is missing other things like basic math or grammar it's still "there" for a lack of better term. But I can't help but feel like I'm missing something' realizing that the ignored text had disappeared during while she was centring herself, and noticing a little blinking dot in the lower right corner of her vision she rises from the couch and takes in her surroundings.

The small living room she previously noted turned out to be a small one-room apartment. Apart from the couch, she could see a small coffee table in front of her, to her right she could see a window with closed drapes and a regular queen-sized bed lying underneath covered with a purple sheat. The left she sees a half-wall that divides the living from a little and apparently stocked kitchen area, a little hallway to the side reveals what she somehow already knows it's the exit of the apartment and the doorway into the bathroom.

'looks like one of those generic anime homes that the highschool main character lives in without parental supervision' she thinks to herself. Deciding to pay attention to the little notification at the corner of her eyes the golden letters appear ones more in front of her. She starts to read the message only to stop after the first couple of lines. Her eyes widen in disbelief and she quickly sprints to the bathroom, the letters ones more collapsing into their little corner.

Reaching the bathroom she finally views her avatar, her body, in amazement and disbelieve. She hesitantly raises a hand to touch her shoulder-length hair, watching as the person in the mirror copies her movements perfectly. Wide expressive purple eyes watch her from the other side as a pale hand softly treads her fingers trou her light lavender locks.

'I don't remember anything personal about my self but I'm quite certain that this wasn't my reflection before.' She thought with confidence that didn't reflect on her expression, after all the disbelieving face of Mashu Kyrielight was staring back at her. After some time of inner contemplation, the girl is able to remove her sight from her astonished reflection and once more concentrate on her fateful companion, the little yellow dot.

There were many questions and thoughts going through Mashu's head at that moment, and her status certainly wasn't helping in answering them, but the most surprising thing of this whole situation to her was that she wasn't panicking like she thought she should. All of it seems like a feverish dream or some kind of hallucination. Only, She Knew it was real; it was happening and somehow that sense of certainly let her accept the current possibility.

'it's like something out of a manga or a fanfiction, the main character dies and finds herself for a lack of better term Isekaied while gaining amazing reality breaking powers only…'

Her status was really strange for the situation, it was using the servant parameters of the nasuverse but wasn't the point of being the Gamer grinding your numbers into heaven high? Her's weren't numbers at all, hell apart from her level, even her HP and MP where percentual instead of numerical. Also, her servant parameters were lower than the nasuverse baseline, what the hell was Rank F? shouldn't Rank E be the lowest. Mashu was her avatar according to the game and the fact that she could honestly say, even in her mind, that she was Mashu Kyrielight was a whole other can of worms.

Taking notice of her little gold light blinking in the corner of her eyes, she decided to focus on it.

'maybe reading the instructions will answer some of my questions, What a shocking turn of events' Mashu thought sarcastically as the letters once more appear before her

[This Is your Status it serves as a summary of your skills, stats and current condition. Concentrating on different parts of it will give you a description of that part. You may try this but until the tutorial is completed some piece of the status may be unavailable]

Focusing on her status one more she concentrated on one of the usual suspects you could say.

[Gamer's Mind(Ex): Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Grants immunity to mental attacks.]

[Next order of businesses is your skills themselves, the ones available at the start of your adventure are passive in nature but once you gain access to active skills a tutorial message will explain the details. To continue with the tutorial please think or say 'inventory']

Seeing the railroading for what it was, Mashu decided to push on through the tutorial and just keep adding her questions in a mental list for the end.

{inventory}

With a mental command, the letters disappear from sight as some kind of golden translucent tablet takes their place. It was divided into two sides, on the left, an equipment tab out of a classical RPG. With different slots corresponding to parts of her body in which items seem to already be displaying.

[Inventory]

Equipment:

Head: Purple-rimmed glasses

Chest: Chaldeas Uniform Shirt And Jacket (Mashu Variant)

Legs: Chaldeas Uniform Skirt (Mashu Variant)

Feet: Chaldeas Uniform Shoes (Mashu Variant)

It was a little minimalistic, to be honest, but she let it slide as she focuses on the right panel of her inventory. It was a grid of 16 by 8 all of the slots were empty except for the top left one, inside of it was a little warped present box. By concentrating on it the box disappeared only to materialize out of thin air in her hands.

[ The Gamer's Starter Pack]

Before she could comprehend the implications of the first physical evidence of her nature as the new gamer a new set of golden letters danced in front of her eyes

[ Your inventory allows you to collect different items and reagents as well as manage your equipment. The box in your hands contains the majority of the boon given to you alongside your new body as the new gamer, to continue please open the box]

Mashu opened [The Gamer's Starter Pack] and before she could see what's inside the box and its contents vanished like how it appeared only to be replaced by a new notification.

[Background Package has been added to the inventory]

[Mysterious letter has been added to the inventory]

[Crystallized Lore(Mashu Kyrielight) has been added to the inventory]

[Mystic Code: Chaldea has been added to the inventory]

[Kuoh Academy uniform has been added to the inventory]

[Kuoh apartment key has been added to the inventory]

[100,000 yen has been added to the inventory]

'wait…'

[This items here are the content of your starter pack, the Background package is a manilla folder filled with all the documentation and paperwork need for you to assimilate yourself with your new life, know that copies of some of this and a proper paper trail have been set up by the game to assure that no complication surface from a background check.]

'wait a second…'

[The mysterious letter is a quest item and it will be used in the 'Quests' tutorial, later on, likewise, the Crystallized Lore (Mashu Kyrielight) will trigger its own tutorials and explanations on use.]

'What did it say on the uniform and the key again?'

[The rest of the items are pieces of equipment that you can check over and use at your leisure. You have been given a balance of initial funds to tie you over till you find an alternate source of income.]

The notification continued but Mashu was no longer paying it any attention.

Kuoh

Kuoh Academy

As in 'previously all-girls but recently went mixed' Kuoh academy?

As in 'we don't expulse for or try to stop students from engaging in sexual harassment' Kuoh Academy?

As in Gathering ground of supernatural beings and gravity-defying breast Kuoh?!

She was in Goddammed Highschool DxD. And there was only one word, one curse, that a self-respecting Fate Fanfiction fan could possibly use to express her frustration in this particular moment before proceeding to consider all facts and implications of her current situation.

"Zelretch Damm it"
