Issei's Gamer Life was harder than he expected Chapter 1: Worst Tutorial Ever, a High School DxD/ハイスクールD×D + Fate/stay night Crossover fanfic

Tutorials aren't as easy nowadays

Would you like to take the tutorial to gain [The Gamer] as an ability? This ability will allow you to live your life as if you are a video game character.

Yes/No

P.S. You may control the text boxes and the selections by voice commands, hand motions or focusing your thoughts.

I, Hyoudou Issei woke up to the above words displayed on a text box right in front of me.

'No way! Did my life just turned into a video game! This is awesome!' was what I thought at the time.

After all, video games were my next best hobby besides satisfying my perverse desires though peeping, watching porn and playing eroges. I thought I knew what I was getting into, having read various manga's, web comics, light novels and having watched tons of anime.

In particular the text box reminded me of Han Jee Han's ability [The Gamer], from a Korean manhwa I read some time ago. I couldn't help but think that since I'm getting a tutorial which Jee-Han did not get, that my new life of grinding and measurable achievements would be so much easier than his.

And it did change my life, well technically life changes all the time, just that this case it went downhill very quickly. In this case I fought in a vast white alternate dimension with all the weapons I've seen in my video games littered on the floor versus someone that looks like you, claimed to be you and continually makes a mockery of you just like in Persona 4!

5 minutes ago

*drip**drip* Blood continues to drip from the deep cut on my left shoulder, a shallow horizontal slash at the centre of my torso and some minor slices on the rest of my chest.

"What's wrong*pant*, 'me'*pant*!? Is that all you've got*pant*!? Oh wait, yeah, that's probably all*pant* that the pathetic, perverted, useless and dumb me can do!" screamed the other 'me' whilst wiping my, no, our blood of the replica of 'Gáe Bolg' from Fate/Stay Night he's holding.

"Arrgh, hah hah hah" I groan in pain and also pant from fatigue from running away from him so long.

This 'other' me had appeared 5 meters in front of me when I was teleported to this space after choosing 'yes' to the tutorial option mentally. 'It' immediately grabbed that lance that was next to him and went on to stab my chest, which I narrowly dodged by twisting my body to the side then immediately started running away from him.

From then on he claimed to be 'me' and mocked my lifestyle, my love for oppai and for being weak. I asked why he was trying to kill me, and he responded with "Why not? A useless fellow like you who has accomplished nothing with his life besides being an asshole to women, sexualising them and treating them as objects to ogle and as tools to satiate your lust won't be missed at all .In fact when I kill you, emphasis on the when, I will replace you in the real world along with obtaining [The Gamer] ability, I will become a better Hyoudou Issei than you could ever be!"

After that it was more taunting, insults, attempts to kill me. And I realised he was right that he was right about my life. About not achieving anything noteworthy, about being stupid, unappreciative of my parents, a disappointment, a sexist, and in general a hated enemy of all women. Have I ever done anything I can be proud off? The answer to that was honestly no, my grades were horrible, I'm a lazy ass, my parents consider me an embodiment of sexual desire, I can think of no one that has anything good to say about me besides my friends Motohama and Matsuda who sadly are perverted creeps, just like me.

Would I become a so called hero because I get a main character like power? While I don't think I'm a evil person when I think back to the embarrassment and anger I cause to the ones I peek at Im definitely the bad guy. Would I change due to getting this power? I suppose the answer is I will, but will it be for the worse or the better.

Every time I think about these questions, his insults and how absolutely right he was about me I lose the will to fight. Would he really be a better person than me? I don't want to disappoint my parents any longer, when I think of what I had done with my life I'm sure some would agree that anyone could do better with it.

But…. I… don't want to die. My wounds hurt a lot right now, I'm scared of getting hurt more, and I'm scared of death and what's to come.

"Finally decided to let me kill you *pant*? That's more like it, I will make it as painless as I can, so just stay right there *pant*." He said in a tone that can be described as gleeful and took his time walking to me, which I can guess its due to him being as tired as I am

I look in front of me and I see a pair of short white and black swords stabbed in the ground just in the corner of my eye, specifically Archer's Kanshou and Bakuya from Fate/Stay Night.

For whatever reason I thought back to that long sleepless night I spent finishing the visual novel, and how I admired the lengths the characters and especially Archer would go to live and to fulfil their ideals.

Why should I give up? There's no guarantee that this other 'me' was going to be any better than me just because he acknowledges my faults, in fact he might be homicidal considering he immediately tried to kill me.

I don't want to die here, I don't want to die as I am. Not as some perverted creepy stupid I asshole. When die, I die after I'm satisfied with my life, I can die after I have made my parents proud. I come to that resolution after all the 'fighting' (which was basically me getting attacked without me fighting back).

I turned and dashed towards Archer's swords, picking up Kanshou with my left hand and Bakuya with my right hand. I then turned to see the other 'me' shaking his head in disapproval.

"Took you long enough to decide to fight, to decide to kill. Do you really think you can go through with it?" he asked.

"I understand that there's no way out besides killing each other, it's quite obvious that this is the only way to end the 'tutorial' battle. In my defence you attacked me first, but more than that I will not die here. I will not die to you, not like this. I… know that I certainly not the best person to say the least… but I will change, I will put this power to good use, and so I will fight and kill you" I responded.

"Do you really think you can win with an injured left shoulder and with your current injuries? Well whatever, it won't be my problem after this is over with" he said, and then he imitated Lancer's guarding stance with the lance.

I ignore the pain as I leave myself open just like Archer does, holding each sword to my side. I know that I will die from blood loss if this keeps up, considering the unhealable wounds Gáe Bolg leaves, I have to kill him with this attack. A lance's strongest move is its thrust and its advantage is its range. The other 'me' is still me, he's just as unskilled as I am in weapons so reacting and withdrawing skilfully will not be in his ability.

We are currently 5 meters apart. I start dashing at him at him first and he waits for me to get in his range, since I'm attacking using a lower aggressive stance I leave my upper body and my head completely exposed. An easy target, but also the most likely target. I'm unskilled so I have to gamble that he will be aiming for my heart or head.

At two meters apart his lance was about to meet my face, but my left hand has already completed its upper-left diagonal slash with Bakuya which I started 3 meters away from him in anticipation of a thrust towards my face. I deflected the thrust with just enough power for it be pushed to the left of my head with only a small cut to my cheek. Once I got pass the tip of the lance I dropped Bakuya and grabbed Gáe Bolg with my left hand and pulled him towards me through the lance.

He pushed myself forward against the defenceless doppleganger and as I took one large step I slashed with Kanshou with my right hand. Leaving a large diagonal gash from his right shoulder to his lower left torso.

"Kuahhh…Arrggg *wheeze*", he took the lance of his hands as he fell to his knees.

"Well…. Looks like you get to live I guess…", his voice started to strain.

I caught the returning Bakuya with my left hand, then I put both swords in an X position at his neck. Intending to behead him. "Sorry, I… don't intend to die, nor will I live as selfishly and perversely as I have lived." My hands start shaking again.

Clearly he noticed my shaking hands and surprisingly he responded with, "Don't need to be sorry… live how you want… that's not what I wanted… I just wanted to live a full life…And to do more than I could ever dreamed about" He coughed up some blood then looked at me straight in the eyes. "Hey… I was decent enough to offer a quick death… care to return the favour?" he asked with a small smirk.

My hands stop shaking and I look at him resolutely and said, "Sure… And thanks for setting me straight." I said to him.

"All I said was stuff you already knew…. you just needed to start thinking about it…I would know… after all… I'm you" he replied with a smile while closing his eyes.

"Yeah… you're me… and I promise you, no, myself that I will live a life I can be proud of… thanks anyway, goodbye…" I replied and lifted my hands outwardly to gather momentum, then brought down the swords on his neck. It wasn't a clean beheading, I'm not strong enough to do something like that, all I could do was slice through till the bone.

After that, the world dissolved. And I was back in my room, my hands empty and….

Back to present

HP and SP are fully restored.

From making smart combat decisions and making wise life decisions you wisdom has increased by 5.

I mentally dismissed the message and the screen disappeared from sight.

I looked in the mirror and noticed that both the pain and my wounds were gone, but there was a very light and shallow scar on my face. I take off my shirt and see that there were similar scars where I was injured before, but there was no discomfort left from the wounds and none while moving my left shoulder which had a larger wound.

Suddenly a flood of information entered my head, basic information about my ability. Stat points, inventory, skills, quests, reincarnation and other options filled my head. After the information stopped flowing into my head I found myself calmer than I have ever been. I think back to me taking a life but whilst I felt disturbed I soon found myself thinking rationally regardless.

"Status" I said softly, despite knowing from the information in my head that I could mentally will the screen to appear.

After taking a look at my skills, I check the clock and its 6 a.m. in the morning, I have to leave for school at 7 a.m. to make it on time. But first I decide to remove the [Perverted Beast] title since it apparently makes others implicitly perceive me as perverted, no idea how that works but then again I'm pretty sure no one has an idea how this ability came to be.

Seems like I already gained a fictional skill like [Eye of the Mind] from F/SN, which is awesome.

I then decide to get to try to obtain one of the most important skill for anyone with this ability. I then stared at my uniform and make random observations in my head when I felt an energy leaving my eyes and returning in an instant. A pop up appeared right after that.

You have gained a skill through a special action!

[Observe] – Active – Lvl.1/100 EXP: 0% MP cost: 1

[Kuoh Uniform-Male] – Rank: F – Durability: 11/11 – Def: 2

Description: Standard male uniform of Kuoh Academy. Considering it's a school with a good reputation, wearing the uniform increases your reputation gain.

Keikaku Doori (Just as Planned), as I thought, my ability is extremely similar to Han Jee Han's version of [The Gamer]. I then decided to turn on my computer and go online to reread the first few chapters of 'The Gamer' for reference. I then decide on the obvious course of action, Han Jee Han's method of training for physical stats, studying hard for INT but also pumping stats into INT as its harder to obtain than physical stats is a decent strategy. However magic seems to be separate from INT and stems mostly from MAG. I will have to increase that ASAP to grind skills. Although I also have to increase my WIS so that I can come up with better strategies to increase my other stats in a more efficient manner.

I should increase [Observe]'s level till I can get enough information to tell who's dangerous and who's not. This will also be good for understanding my abilities in relation to others. Considering it costs 1 MP and I regenerate back 1 MP per minute I have to use it at least once per minute for maximum efficiency.

From the information that flowed into my head, [ID Create] and [ID Escape] can be made, but I will handle that after school, as paying attention in class will likely increase my abysmal INT plus I'm likely to get some much needed quest which will help me level and increase my MAG for MP to spam.

I also need to find skill books, they will disappear if I choose to learn skills from them so I will avoid using library books and instead note down useful books then use my own money to buy them myself, I don't plan to become a thief unless absolutely necessary. I should start by searching my room for any books that could be used.

Lastly, I should put anything useful into my inventory such as money and weapons. It's better to be on the safe side, and it will make sure none of my money will be loss by accident.

You have made a series of wise decisions and as a result your wisdom has increased by 2.

As I thought, making simple pragmatic decisions increased my WIS, I suppose I really was that dumb. In any case I better get to it.

I walked to the bathroom to shower and made sure to use observe at least once every minute on random objects.

After that I stuffed my all my porn and eroges into my inventory. Which I will probably resell to my Matsuda and Motohama at cutthroat prices to get some cash for weapons and skill books.

I soon came across my Fate/Stay Night disc and to my surprise a pop up alert appeared.

You have acquired a skill disc!

Would you like to learn [Nasuverse Magecraft]?

Yes/No

Choosing yes in my head the disc disappeared and knowledge that seems like it was plucked out of the TYPE-MOON wiki was absorbed by my brain.

After that my brain processes all the text scenes and CG scenes, OMG Shirou's monologue when having sex WTF is this shit!

Finally the information about Servants and Noble Phantasms within the game is assimilated into my knowledge.

[Nasuverse Affinity] – Passive –

Description: An affinity that allows the user to freely use magecraft, magic and techniques from the Nasuverse. Effects may differ from the Nasuverse based on the rules of your current world.

So it seems it only allows me to use magecraft and all that but not give me any usable skills. I can't imagine it will be efficient to learn spells with high amounts of research needed, guess I will just go the EMIYA route since I could use [Projection] or [Tracing] to make some weapons to train with.

I suppose I should also try to see if any of my manga and anime can be used to create skills. [Kage Bunshin no Jutsu] (Shadow Clone Technique) would be effective for grinding skills, since the experience from clones fed back to Naruto in the manga, I can't see why that won't work for me assuming I manage to learn ninjitsu.

My [Observe] has already levelled up to 3 which is pretty good for half an hour I guess.

I walked down to the dining room and found my parents just about to eat breakfast. I greet them and began eating while using [Observe] on them. I found that I could see their stats and if anything it seems the average stat for average adults seem to be 10, other than that there was nothing special about their stats and descriptions.

"Issei, when did you get that scratch on your cheek?" my mother asked.

Thankfully my [Gamer's Mind] kept me calm and I said.

"Oh, I accidentally scratched my cheek on the sharp edge of my window, it wasn't deep or anything so I went ahead and disinfected it and put a plaster on it for the night." I lied, thankfully they think it's a scratch and not a scar for whatever reason.

Honestly I'm feeling guiltier than usual for lying to my parents, I want to make them proud but as much as I would love to be honest and tell them I got thrown into an alternate dimension then got the scars from fighting a doppleganger of myself that wielded a cursed spear, I highly doubt it will be to my immediate and long-term benefit if they sent me to a psychiatrist.

You have gained a skill through a special action!

[Deception] – Passive – Lvl.5/100 EXP: 6%

Description: A ability to deceive others about your intentions and actions through the use of lies, half-truths and tricks.

You passively gain the following bonuses from acquiring the skill.

Increase in INT and WIS by 2.5

Looks like I have to live with a bit of guilt to get stronger, but if it will help me live life to the fullest then I won't waste my time feeling guilty about it.

After eating breakfast, I put on my shoes and got ready to leave the house when suddenly…

Quest Alert! (Optional)

Title: Get to school on time!

Objectives: Exactly what the title says

Completion reward: 30 EXP

Failure penalty : Decreased reputation from Souna Shitori (?)

I accept the quest mentally deciding to think about the question mark next to Kaichou's name later.

I ran towards the school at top speed, intending to build up either my AGI or END. Of course, I made sure to use observe on my fellow students who I saw on the way. It would seem that the average stats for High schoolers range from 6-8, with some INT reaching 10, I suppose that's expected from a prestigious academy.

Right now I'm in my third term as a first year high-schooler, currently at the start of my 2nd week in January. Finals are coming up, so raising INT and possibly getting EXP from quests stemming from scoring on exams would be good. I can also use the cold weather to learn [Cold Resistance] or something similar. Which reminds me, I have to buy some weights so I can train Rock Lee style and increase my physical states quicker.

I reached the school within 10 minutes and I was left panting like crazy. I almost gave up several times during the run, but I remember that to live my self with my head held high I needed to get stronger, the MAG stat essential proves that magic exists. And where there is magic, there will be supernatural forces and dangers. Thus effectively I cannot live my life in bliss and in peace any longer, I face to get stronger and prepare for what may, no, will come. In the end I arrived at school 20 minutes earlier than usual.

By sprinting and continuous running you have increased AGI and END by 1.

Excellent, excellent, just as planned. Muahahahahaha. OK time to stop laughing to myself in my head.

Quest Completed!

30 + 5 EXP received

You have levelled up twice! Gain 10 Stat Points!

I called up my Status screen to check my current stats.

Name: Hyoudou Issei Age: 16

LVL: 3 EXP: 1/57

Title: None Affiliation: Perverted Trio

Race: Human

HP: 120/120 Regen: 1 per minute

MP: 50/50 Regen: 2.1 per minute

STR: 5 (4+1)

END: 6 (6+0)

AGI: 5 (4+1)

WIS: 10.5 (8+2.5)

MAG: 1 (1+0)

LUK: 5 (5+0)

Points: 10

Yen: 3300

Well now, interestingly I have somehow quickly surpassed the average adult in Wisdom simply by deciding to make the most of my life. I'm pretty sure my ability is trying to say something about the average person, but that isn't my immediate concern right now. Raising INT, MAG, WIS and LUK are one of the most pressing concerns. I don't plan to underestimate the effect of LUK, getting lucky drops will be very beneficial especially if there's a chance for skill books to drop which I plan on testing once I get [ID Create]. WIS is obviously important and so is INT but I will have to see if I can increase it normally at lower levels first, the most likely possibility is that at higher levels it will become more difficult to increase them naturally, therefore, saving points till the benefits from training for the points becomes significantly lower the benefits of increasing them through my level up points will be the most efficient method.

The first value of my stats are the total stats whilst the brackets reflect base stats and bonus stats from skills. If I keep levelling up [Observe] my INT should quickly rise.

I should also try to calculate the EXP algorithm, or at least find a game with a similar algorithm, I get the feeling I have seen an MMORPG with an the EXP requirement at level one to be at 15 EXP. But I can't seem to recall it.

In any case I decide to fiddle with the options and to study some of the books before class starts. I turn on the [Auto-Loot] function and the [Hide Player Information] which apparent obscures what people can discern of me aside of what they already know or expect of me. I decide to put 6 points into LUK and put the rest into MAG as I can't increase LUK without getting lucky, and to get lucky I obviously need LUK. It kind of seems like a rich get richer thing, the world is obviously not fair, I mean you get handsome guys like Kiba Yuuto getting all the girls, so why should I play fair. Which reminds me I should probably check his stats when I see him.

After doing some quick math I surmised that every point in END probably equated to 20 HP per stat, and mana regen per minute is increased by 0.2 per every WIS stat point.

Soon after, Motohama and Matsuda arrived just before class started. I used observe on both of them.

Name: Honda Matsuda Age: 16

LVL: 2 EXP: 3/34

His physical stats aren't too bad I guess, since he was a former middle school sports star and stuff, but he really let himself go.

Name: Abarai Motohama Age: 16

LUK: 2

Sucky stats, admittedly my initial stats weren't far off so I have no right to insult his stats.

Although comparing out stats its quite clear that the base MAG pool for everyone with a MAG of 1 is 50, but every subsequent point increases it by 10.

"Hey Issei, you up for peeking at the Kendo Club girls today?" Motohama asked me in broad daylight as per usual.

"No, I'm not up for peeking. In fact, don't bother inviting me to peek anymore. By the way, I'm planning to sell or get rid of all my porn and eroges so come by my house sometime and you can take it off my hands" I said to him using my serious tone but quietly.

Motohama and Matsuda then stared at me without moving an inch for like about 10 seconds. Before screaming at me and grabbing me by the collar.

"Who are you! What have you done with Issei! Give us back our comrade you bastard impostor!" I calmly pulled their hands away from me which released me from their grip on my uniform. At this point half of the class was staring at us but I paid them no heed.

"I'm Issei, Hyoudou Issei. I'm not an impostor, it's just that circumstances and some thinking has led me to focus my priorities. I intend to live my life in a way I can make me and my parents proud, and as such I have to intention of returning to living a life thinking about oppai and women at every waking moment. We can still be friends but don't involve me in any perverse talk of objectifying women, and in your case Matsuda, Lolis. You might think I have suddenly betrayed my desires and what not, but I assure you I simply want to make the most of my life, and to do that I can no longer live as I have before. Now, homeroom is about to start, if you want to say something save it for the break." I replied without hesitating and without pausing, thinking back at it I must have sounded slightly pissed at them. I suppose that's because the reminded me of myself before that messed up 'tutorial' boss.

Most of the class at this point had a shocked look on their faces whilst I was sat back down at my seat and opened my biology textbook to begin studying. Along with some whispers about them disbelieving I have changed, some about this being the perverted trio's first real conflict and some giving me the benefit of the doubt etc…

In any case, that's not my problem, I intend to increase my INT as much as I can ASAP with exams approaching, and so I used every moment during homeroom to study when I can.

I made sure to pay attention during the first class whilst occasionally using observe on various people. Katase's and Murayama's stats physical stats were around and above the average adult, with STR and AGI hovering around 12. Kiryuu's INT and WIS stats were actually pretty good, being 15 each. Other than that, the rest of the class was pretty standard for high-schoolers except that their INT was usually their highest stat. It would seem that most of the girls had an average to above average LUK stat whilst the boys generally somehow had shitty LUK stats.

You have listened in class and took notes diligently, as a result your INT has increased by 1.

Motohama and Matsuda did not talk to me during the breaks in between classes and instead glared at me intensely. They were definitely hostile glares…

You have gained a skill from detecting bloodlust!

[Detect Bloodlust] – Passive – Lvl.3/100 EXP: 18%

Description: An ability to detect bloodlust directed at you. Range increases by 3 meters per level.

Current range : 11 meters

After studying and getting though more classes till the lunch break.

You have listened in class and took notes diligently, as a result your INT has increased by 1.

I had gained another INT. After lunch break me, Motohama and Matsuda went to 'talk' on the rooftop. Where the 'talk' basically revolved around their strong beliefs of me being the embodiment of sexual desire and the prophet of oppai. After which I basically tell them that they and me included should learn from our mistakes and we should emulate Yuuto Kiba at least in terms of treating women considerately. I may be jealous of the guy but that doesn't mean I can't admit his good points.

When they asked why I decided to make such a drastic change I decided to shock them a bit and I took off my shirt and showed them my scars which I got from the fight. A deep one on my left shoulder, a medium horizontal slash at the centre of my torso and some minor slash scars on the rest of my chest.

"Don't bother asking where I got them, I won't be telling you anytime soon. But what I can say that I intend to make sure I won't be getting any more of these." After that I put back on my shirt, and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Using [Observe] on the food shows that eating food grants temporary stat bonuses through usually with an AGI penalty, makes sense that you can't move as fast on a full stomach. Most of the food heals HP by a percentage amount, which is good for me since that means I can stock up on food in my inventory and the benefits of the food will scale well when I get stronger.

After school I made a trip to the library and noted down some books on mythology that apparently enables me to learn skills from them. After that I went and bought a Bokken from a store, the purchase left me broke right after. I should ask my parents for chores so I can get some extra cash as well. As I walked home I picked up whatever sticks, stones and leaves I saw on the way.

I jogged back home and went to the garden at the back. I made sure my mom wasn't looking at me, as much as I wanted to practice someplace else I still don't trust my luck some bystander might see me. In any case I tried to create the skill [ID Create], while the mana gathered in my hand and was about to spread out it returned back to my body, it would seem that I either need more MAG or INT. So I decide to use Nasustyle magecraft to level up my MAG and practice some control.

Quest Alert! (Optional)

Title: Learn Nasuverse magecraft before the evening!

Objectives: Make Nasuverse Magecraft into skills.

Completion reward: 100 EXP per magecraft learnt

Failure penalty : None

I accepted the quest without hesitation, no way am I turning down free EXP.

I took out some sticks used [Observe], then I tried to flow the mana into a branch and to analyse the contents, structure and purpose of the item. Soon information about its purpose as a tree branch to hold leaves and pass on nutrients flowed in my head, then the branch fell as a result of a fat cat landing on it, then it being picked up by me. This took about 3 minutes for it to work.

Next up is [Reinforcement], this time I flow mana into the branch and tried to fill in the gaps whilst forcing the brittle parts to harden, at the same time I compressed the wood inwards in the shape of sharp pick. This took about a minute.

OK, I seem to have accidentally used two types of magecraft at the same time. Not sure why I've been succeeding the first time so far, I mean what happened to all that 'To be a magus is to walk with that shit', I haven't even loss any HP. Whatever, I'm just going to pretend it's thanks to the LUK stat, if I delude myself long enough I can put more points into it. Totally not because I want to see how it's like to be lucky.

[Observe]

[Altered Wooden Pick] – Rank: F – Durability: 5.5/5 – ATK: 3 +0.3

Description: Originally an ordinary wooden branch, alteration has reshaped it into a dense and sharp wooden pick. Perfect for gouging out eyeballs.

I look at the branch and saw that it now resembled a sharp wooden pick, it was also harder than before. I decided to store it in my inventory in case I need to gouge out someone's eyeball in the future. If I was in the world of Naruto this would probably be part of my Top 10 most useful weapons, considering all the OP eye powers there. Damn you Madara, stop being OP.

That took 13 mana in total including using [Observe] but I had already regenerated about 5 mana since it took 4 minutes to do all that.

Next up on the list is [Projection], it's probably still a shit no matter what I do, but I need another Bokken to practice dual wielding until I learn Emiya's [Tracing]. I take out my Bokken from my inventory and used [Structural Grasp] and [Observe] on it.

[Cheap Bokken] – Rank: F – Durability: 20/20 – ATK: 8

Description: A cheap Bokken, useful enough to bash a couple of heads in, durability varies based on denseness of the head it hits.

So basically it will break immediately if I hit a harem protagonist like Ichika.

Jokes aside let's see if I can get at least get [Projection] to work. After making sure none of my neighbours are looking in and making sure my mom is not looking. I then imagine the Cheap Bokken with all the paltry history behind it, it's not [Tracing] since I'm not using all the extra steps, but I think it might turn up better than some crappy normal projection if I use its history.

[Gradation Air] – Active – Lvl.1/100 EXP: 66% MP cost: 5

Description: A magecraft that allows the materialisation of an object in accordance to the caster's imagination through mana. Like its name, the object will eventually fade away to nothing, where 'Air' is an allusion to 'nothing'. Greater consistency = Greater strength and duration

Basic strength of projection : 30%

You passively gain the following bonuses from acquiring the skill.

Increase in INT by 0.5

Definitely the luckiest day of my life. Tutorial Boss aside. [Observe]

[Projected Cheap Bokken] – Rank: G – Durability: 8/8 – ATK: 3- Duration: 3 hours

Description: A cheap Bokken, useful enough to bash a couple of heads in, durability varies based on denseness of the head it hits. It's projected, so it sucks (more).

Its 4:10 pm right now and the projection will fade by dinner time so I better get started ASAP. But first I will have to rewatch the Sword Art Online with Kirito vs. Gleameyes in slow motion, I have to at least try to copy [Starburst Stream], I mean, the skill name is too cool to ignore.

5 minutes later

I began to get used to attacking with my dual Bokkens, surprisingly my shitty projected Bokken was of equal weight to my actual Bokken, which I guess is a benefit.

After an hour of practicing basic slashes, blocks and parries whilst mixing things up with a mix of the previous magecrafts that I learned for mana efficiency sake through. Which consisted of projecting more bokkens, altering them to make them sharper then reinforcing them. I managed to get all those skills to Lvl.3, although sadly I did not get a [Blocking] or [Parrying] skill. I also did a couple of standard exercises like push-ups and sit-ups in between. All in all I managed to get 1 STR, AGI and END in that hour. Which honestly is pretty amazing for an hour's work. If there are any moderators I pray that they don't nerf me.

As a result of making a series of efficient and pragmatic choices, your WIS has increased by 1.

After a 5 minute rest the time is now 5:20pm, I then went on to start recreating [Starburst Stream]. First I do a horizontal swing to the left with the sword in my right sword followed by an uppercut immediately from my sword in left hand. Then I do a full circle jump spin slash with both swords from left to right, and I spin on the ground again slicing with both swords left to right. Next I swing both swords down in an X-shape and then I do an inverse X-shape slash with both swords again.

Next I…..completely forgot… the rest of the steps. So embarrassing, what am I doing with my life, I'm not trying to look cool or anything, I just wanted a strong sword skill, why do I feel so embarrassed from failing to even finish a third of the anime version of [Starburst Stream].

I'm just going to erase this memory from my head and continue, this time I put up the list of moves on my phone and practice each move one by one before actually chaining them together.

And about 5 minutes before 6 pm…

"YATAAAAA!" I scream outloud. Oh the sweet taste of success, mhhmmmmmm, so good. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

"Issei, what is going on?" My mom rushed out of the kitchen to see me on my knees with my two bokkens lifted towards the sky. I plan to hide my powers from my parents and all, but since this is a pure sword skill with no light effects, and the fact it's too cool, I just can't resist showing this off.

"Mom, watch this." and as I said that I got up and used the manual [Starburst Stream].

My mom had left her mouth wide opened as she watched me perform the skill at a speed that would have been beyond the average adult.

"Issei! When did you get so good at using swords, we should enter you in a tournament! Oh but they don't allow two swords in Kendo tournaments, but if you're that good with two swords that means your skills with one sword would have to be great too! I can't believe my useless son would turn out to be good with swords! I need to tell your father!" She then rushed out to call my dad while talking about how her good-for-nothing perverted son had actually done something cool for once.

OKAYYYYY…. Now I'm not too sure that was a good idea, but hey they didn't suspect me of having some weird power or something, so I guess all's well that ends well. After all, I did want them to be proud of me.

A/N: I don't really consider this a crossover-fic since I'm mostly referencing other series and have Issei rip-off all the moves and terminology from other works of fiction. Right now Issei is pretty much stronger than the average human on his first day, this is because in all the other beings in the DXD universe are extremely OP in terms of MAG and END stats, Issei's only hope of trashing these unbalance mage wizards is to use lots of skills and physical stats to match them. I made this Issei a bit younger than Canon since I thought he might need the time to build up a decent repertoire of skills in order to rekt out favourite punching bags later. Btw, take a guess at what EXP table I'm using in the comments section.
