In DxD: Reborn As a Gamer

Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Perks, Points, and Poor Decisions!



This is what I was talking about.

[Anti Magic Affinity] - 15 points

You have a gift in the use of Anti Magic, grants the user a Anti magic 

[Soul Magic Affinity] - 30 points

You have a gift in this dark and dangerous art, grants the user Soul magic 

My eyes shot wide open, 30 points!? My eyes narrowed, the only thing higher than the cost of Soul Magic Affinity was the Dragon Race, but how could Soul Magic compare to becoming a dragon?

If you must know, my creator specializes in Soul Magic beyond all other magic, Soul Magic was the entire reason you're still here babbling.

My finger found selecting Soul Magic Affinity faster than I'd like to admit, the specialized magic of the being that brought me here? It was enough to make me giddy, but the cost was rather high.

I could only grimace as I saw my points drop.

The price of soul magic was immense but at least it was somewhat comforting that the magic belonged to the being that brought me back from the dead, it was the whole reason for my decision to buy it.

As for anti magic, what supernatural being didn't use magic? Devil's used magic, Angel's used magic, God used magic, Ophis probably used magic? I hadn't read or seen that far into DxD so I only know a bit of info about the powerhouses.

With anti magic in my arsenal, I could erase any magical attack; or at the very least, grow to that point where the unknown powerhouses couldn't harm me.

Feeling a little more comforted by the massive drop of points with 25 left, I kept scrolling.

My eyebrow rose.

[Androgynous] - gain 10 points

The User's appearance is altered to look partly male and female in appearance, reputation/affection system is altered so all males can use the affection system

The... affection system?

Oh, hahah, I added that perk for fun, but it basically makes it so males have a chance to fall for you. It would alter the reputation system: where at first, men would only respect you and not love you; now it makes it so both genders have an equal chance of falling in love with you despite their original sexuality. 

My hand grew hesitant, was it worth it? Power attracted devils and considering I was planning on becoming stronger...

I took a quick glance at the corner of the system, a white number stared back at me signifying I was dangerously low in points. Specifically, I only had 25, and who knew what else it could buy?

With a heavy heart... and the snickering robotic female sound, I bought the perk as my points jumped to 35.

Looking slightly female was a small price to pay...

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Ignoring the taunt, after many continuous hours of fascination I have finally spent a good enough points to guarantee my survival by closing the gap between me and my peers.

[Era Definer] - 25 points

Halves the required XP to level up all skills.

[First Impression] - 5 points

Gain positive affection upon meeting someone, degrees of affection vary at random.

[Beginner's Luck] - 15 points

Upon entering a new dungeon, for an entire day all loot gain will be doubled and item rarity will decrease.

[Mediocre] - 15 points

Born with moderate stats, not good, not bad, but it guarantees not being leagues below everyone else.

[Insatiable] - gain 10 points

Despite all rational thought or usual control, the user would become insatiable in their pursuit be it for wealth, women, or power.

[Sight Impairment] - gain 5 points

The user's vision is naturally impaired, normal methods can not be used to restore complete vision.

[Enemy of Light] - gain 10 points

All beings associated with Heaven or Holy Magic will feel discomfort in your presence, all damage from Holy Magic will be doubled.

[Enemy of Darkness] - gain 10 points

All beings associated with the Underworld or Devil Magic will feel discomfort in your presence, all damage from Devil Magic will be doubled.

[Monocle] - FREE

A crystal monocle that allows the user to see through all illusions or anything regarding deception, from ?

The monocle was a surprising find, but not an unwelcome one. And despite my questioning of the item, the system wouldn't answer as to who it came from, which aroused some suspicion, but I've learned to not look at the gift horse in the mouth.

It was the only item I bought- mostly because of the price being free and my curiosity. It was a good thing my points didn't drop any lower than what they already were, I sighed as I looked at the point counter.

While admitting my ideal outcome wouldn't have left me 25 points to spare, I needed to get stronger quickly if I was going to bend over the likes of Grayfia and Serafall...

What? I also had other priorities.

You're not going to buy any more equipment?

While admittedly getting Excalibur and blasting Sirzech point blank was an amusing idea, it just wasn't worth the points while I could spend them somewhere else or gain stat points (which could save my life); it was what I said to myself to prevent myself from clicking on the purchase button.

So is there anything else?

Just one little thing

Right before my eyes, the limited timed golden banner disappeared, and it's place was a single word with three choices below it.

[Class]

Warrior, Rogue, Mage

I frown. Realistically, I should choose a mage or warrior, a rogue wouldn't work for a devil who isn't specialized in stealth. Mage would be most suited since the entire reason I chose to be in the strongest clan is because of the gamble on the specialized magic.

Warrior would fit the powerful physique that comes with being a devil and would probably have a method to counter the perks Enemy of darkness and Enemy of Light, but it would hinder my progression in my clan's magic.

But the clan magic could be physical and not magical, so then warrior would be best choice... but-

Blah blah blah, just choose already, Warrior stronger, Mage is a magician, and Rogue is a ninja.
