In DxD: Reborn As a Gamer

The Stray Devil route was practically screaming "Guaranteed death." The amount of points I would obtain was something that made me almost consider it, but the price wasn't worth it to be hunted down by all factions.

Human Magician was slightly better but humans were just too weak, it would take me years to be able to catch up and even then I had no idea what sort of power this version of the Gamer System held, only knowing that a being equal to or above God made it and it was particularly snarky so it wouldn't tell me much.

Dragon would screw me over in points and while the whole show basically revolves around dragons, I don't want to waste all my points. My observations left me with a few options as my knowledge was limited, I was a bit more distracted by the fan service than the plot which had Issei.

What I was truly deciding between was two options: Nekomata and Devil.

Being a Neko, while personally embarrassing, would give me a distinct edge on all others on using senjutsu, youjutsu, and touki. And while it gave me the chance to get Koneko, there's also the fact that I'd be the only male Neko and would be sold into slavery...

Well, being a Neko is off the table.

Being a devil would give me the option to interact with Rias, along with the fact that I don't have to worry about being forced into a peerage and can make one of my own. And while being an Angel gives me the same power- or at least I assume so- with my goals and thoughts, I would fall as soon as I was born.

Which now that I think about, which would mean I would be born before the Great War or during it... yeah, screw that.

Seeing no options and not wanting to choose a race with unknown info to me, I chose Devil.

Now for the fun part that can fuck you over for eternity, everyone's favorite, background customization!

[Posh Douchebag] - 10 points

[Look at me, I'm cool and edgy] - 25 points

Born in one of the Six houses of Lucifer, be raised as a prodigy among prodigy's. 

This gamer system was certainly... unique, snarky but unique. My eye could only twitch in the future irritation it may bring as I looked through the options.

My eyes were stuck on the last option, born in the strongest house of devils? Yes please, but what had me concerned was the price. 25 points was a high number and who knows what else I could buy.

But... each pillar was specialized in a special form of magic, the Bael clan had the power of destruction, Sitri had water magic, and Phenex had superior regeneration along with some form of fire what I could distinctly remember.

So then... What was the inherited magic of one of the original Six clans?

Without hesitation, I pushed the last option, it might seem reckless but power was something I've always strived for and since my birth I've been stripped of the right to have any... there was no way I was going to let this chance go.

It was also the best way to survive, being born a commoner guaranteed being treated like trash, abused, and given no time to grind if all devils are similar to Riser in any way.

Being aligned to the Old Satan Faction... well, it was the quickest way to guarantee torture and death.

Being born in one of the strongest clans would give me enough political weight to not be dragged through the mud, and if I played my cards right it might become my biggest strength,

Being a normal devil is out of the question, it would affect my role in the household and the magic I inherit, effectively it would double my workload to increase my political influence enough to have any effect in the underworld.

Sure, whatever you say, you just wanted to be born better than others.

I want power, so what? Having a little boon at the start never hurts anyone... well it won't hurt me and that's what matters, now doesn't it?

Well said, now time for the really good stuff.

A few more options opened up before me.

Skills, Stats, Items, Perks, etc.

My eyes are drawn to the little black banner with golden letters written etched on it at the top of the list.

Limited time offers!

That's right, all of that is available will be things that wouldn't normally be open to you.

I note the word, normally; so I could get them later on? It's a slight relief but which to get and which are going to be most helpful?

I scroll through the items list as my eyes sparkle.

[Excalibur] - 40 points

The Holy Sword of Arthur Pendragon from the legends, it is to be noted that this isn't Excalibur from DxD but from the Fate Series

[Philosopher's Stone] - 10 points

A red gym made of human souls that greatly boost all alchemy and magic by a massive degree, from the FMA series

[Scissor Blade] - 10 points

A large scissor-like weapon made of life fibers, capable of disabling regeneration, from the Kill la Kill series.

A small grin makes its way across my face and makes a note of them. I can't be reckless, I need to carefully examine all my options before I spend my points. I note that I only have 70 left and the remaining will be contributed to my stat points.

I begrudgingly move away from the item list.

The corner of my lips etch into a large grin of greed.

This is what I was talking about.
