Preparations & Encounters

“BOOM!!!”

A huge explosion rang the whole street as the fist hammered down where I was a second ago. Narrowly avoiding certain **** again, I promptly ignored the notification in an attempt of dodging another attack of the giant behind me.

Standing at nearly 3 meters tall, the zombie behind me proved itself to be a tough opponent, possessing not only high defense like other zombies, but also high offense and agility. The fact that it’s STR and END are both over triple mine only indicates that a single slip up from me will result in a really early ‘Game Over’, which is both embarrassing and disappointing.

A brief glance to the side let me know that I’ve reached a small park. Quickly thinking of a plan, I unhesitatingly dashed right into the trees. Utilizing my enhanced physical prowess, I easily reached one of the higher branches with just a single jump.

Slowing my breath down, I activated the skill ‘Stealth’ and felt the usual drain, albeit slightly lower this time as it just leveled up earlier. Pulling out the knives attached on my belt, I calmly waited.

True to my expectation, the zombie slowed down considerably once it lost vision of me. It came to a halt right in the middle of a small clearing between the trees, leaving it’s back wide open for me to strike. Drawing upon my fastest movement skill at the moment, ‘Flash Steps’, I dashed from the branch in a straight line towards the nape of the zombie in front of me.

“SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIENDS!” (literally)

Weak point - Critical damage dealt (200% DMG)

Sneak attack (150% DMG)

With a modifier of 350% damage, I easily depleted the remaining health with a swing of the knife, reducing the giant into motes of blue lights as the loots appear.

Now, you guys must be wondering how we get to this point right? Well, let’s look at the flashback together, shall we?

(Flashback ensues, gray screen, fast backward sounds)

My sister just left the house, so I decided to begin my grind.

I commanded ‘ID create’ in my mind, and right after that I can hear a glass breaking sound. Stepping outside of the house, the sky has indeed changed color, now in a greenish hue. ‘ID escape’, another shattering sound, and the world returned to normal.

I also noticed that time in real life is completely frozen when I’m in the ID. This could give me an edge when it comes to power growth as I can train far more than what the others can. ID is indeed broken, oh how I love you system, for letting me have it.

The first 5 levels only allowed me to create an empty ID, and the only benefit of leveling up was the cost reduction. It used to cost 100MP per cast, now it’s only 20MP per cast, reduced by 20 each level.

With this, I no longer need to fear that my whole MP bar will run out as soon as I enter an ID. Besides, repeatedly using the skill caused my INT and WIS to go up by a few points, along with getting me a new skill.

Mana Sense – Passive|-|LV 15/100

Allows the user to sense ambient mana in the nature, magic sources nearby. Current range (INT x lv) meter in all directions. Beings with higher level ‘Concealment’ type skills are hidden from the user.

I can’t help but grinning like a madman upon seeing the skill. This is cheating, I tell you. Of course, it probably won’t be of much use in HOTD, but imagine max leveled this skill in DxD or SDS, Fate… No being (well, those that are of a higher level than me can, but let’s not worry about that here) can hide from me. Assassins are useless against me. Laughing loudly like an idiot, I didn’t stop until I realized how stupid I must be looking right now.

Ehem, anyway, back to the story. It took me about 2 days to get the skill to level 10, where I unlocked the first basic ID. Zombies. In that time, I also looked through and somewhat assimilated most of the memories I received to my previous set of memories. Not an unpleasant experience, but one I doubt I’d want to go through again.

Aside the time I came out to make meals for my sister, and sex (of course!), I basically locked myself in the room and meditate while spamming the skill. As soon as I got the ID, I bolted out of my room, not caring that it was 2am in the morning and ran straight down the basement.

There, I found a simple steel katana, a gift I received from my parents from their trip to the USA. Pulling it out of the sheathe, I admired the fine craftsmanship of the blade before putting it back. While the katana is no doubt effective against zombies, as proven in the show, it also required a considerable amount of work to maintain it and skill to wield it, but the former is something I need to worry about more than the latter.

So, against my inner weeb’s desire, I took two army combat knives with me instead. Finding a belt that can hold the sheaths was simple enough, and soon, I was ready to go.

“ID create: Zombie”

The shattering sound appeared as the blue sky was replaced with a dark hue, with clouds covering most of it. Looking outside the window, I can see the zombies shuffling around on the streets, with most of the buildings either destroyed or desolated.

Treading on the road, I soon encounter my first opponent. A quick ‘Observe’ showed that while the zombie’s defense and health more than doubled my own, its speed, attack is quite lower compared to my own. A perfect training dummy for beginners, you could say.

Moving towards it, I began to contemplate my attacks. A quick strike to the throat sounds viable in theory, but with its defense, it’s most likely that the blade will get stuck or worse, chipped. Back of the neck seems more likely to succeed than the former choice, therefore I put it in motion.

Circling around the zombie, I delivered quick slashes to its exposed nape, receiving ‘Critical Hit’ after every strike. After the third strike, it finally fell down and disappeared into particles of light.

Dismissing the received EXP notification, I instead focused on the loot received. While it’s nothing much, the fact that I got 5 items just from one zombie really makes me want to put more points into Luck, which I did.

Singing ‘Move Bitch’ loudly as I went, one after another, the zombies fell under my strikes.

After around 50th kills or so, I finally leveled up to 10. Opening my status screen, I couldn’t help but grin widely upon seeing my hard work’s fruition. You must be wondering why there wasn’t a job in my status before right? Well, that’s because I didn’t choose back in the Void, as I saw a special tab which requires me to be at least level 10.

Without the job’s bonus stats, leveling up is quite hard but I have a hunch that it’ll be worth it in the end. And I was right. After opening up all the options, a few new jobs can be seen sitting there.

Under the [Fighter] class, the new job [Void Warrior] has appeared.

For the [Mage] class, it was the obvious [Void Mage].

In the [Rogue] class, [Void Walker] can be seen.

Lastly, [Ranger] class has the [Void Hunter] as its newest addition.

Surprisingly, the [Support Class] didn’t show any new entries.

Without hesitation, I immediately chose [Void Mage] as my job. Not even a second after I did, agony I’ve never experienced before consumed me.

My blood boiled as if it was lava, while electrical shocks ran up my spine, pain hazing my mind. After that, it was absolutely cold. It felt like I was pierced by a thousand needles, while being submerged in ice.

In my pain clouded mind, I can barely make out the notification.

[Due to choosing a special class, new traits have been added, bonus stats have been provided]

In reality, it was barely 20 seconds, but it was over 2 hours for me in my mind. Shakily standing up, I waited for a few moments as the pain subsided, before opening the status board once again. [Void Blood] has been added, passively granting me 2 times regeneration scaled off of my VIT. The [Mage] class provides 2 bonus points in INT and WIS per level, while the [Void Mage] job gives me another 2 in INT, WIS. All other stats get a bonus 1.

After the update, I can feel strength coursing through my veins as I activate the [Void Blood], but also depletion of health. The pain caused by this skill is mostly negated by [Gamer’s Mind], leaving me only slightly wincing in annoyance.

My new status is now as below

Name: Yuichi Akagami

Age: 19

LV: 10 (3%)

Title: The Gamer, From the Beyond

Class: Mage

Job: Void Mage

HP: 300/300 (1/sec)

MP: 750/750 (20/sec)

STR: 30

VIT: 30

END: 30

DEX: 30

AGI: 30

INT: 60

WIS: 60

MND: 30

LUK: 110

Points: 0

[New perks gained]

INT – 50 [Mana Pool] Increase MP by 25%

WIS – 50 [Scholar's Mind] Increase EXP gained by 5% from battle, 20% from learning and training.

Strangely enough, LUK was the only stat that did not increase when I level up. Guess there are some things that even the omnipotent system can’t properly explain. Remembering my luck in the previous life, I dumped all the bonus 100 points into LUK, watching it rise to a comfortable 110.

[New perks gained]

LUK – 50 [Deft Strikes] Damage that leaves enemies below 2.5% health has a 50% chance to execute them immediately

LUK – 100 [Midas's Touch] Double the loot

My mind now back to focusing at the dungeon, I used my newly gained [Void Sense] skill to scout out the whole city, which helps me greatly in determining my most efficient clearing route. Papa’s coming home baby~

20 hours later, I am ready to call it a day. In total, I have slaughtered well over 200 zombies, with their levels increasing little by little. The camp behind me was the one I’ve just cleared, and while I don’t need to eat or sleep, and the other camps has respawned, my mind is fatigued from all the experience. I’m now at level 29, with just a little left before reaching 30. I also got a few new spells and skills under my belt. As I was about to destroy the dungeon, a pop-up message alerted me. Yup, the system just definitely did a “You fool, you’ve activated my trap card”

[Unable to escape ID during BOSS fight]

Well shit. At least I know what I forgot. In the manhwa, the Boss appeared after Han Ji-han killed 100 zombies. Nothing appeared when I was going on a killing spree, so it kinda slipped my mind, I guess. Meh, let’s just get this over with. As I turned around, a huge figure climbed out from the ground, easily reaching over 3m, its shadow towering over me. Staring at me menacingly, it lurched back before

“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

And that, folks, it’s how I met your mother.

…

…

FUCK.

FUCK.

FUCK.

Looking at the Boss, I can’t help but feel incredulous at its status. Sure, that thing has like 20 INT and 10 WIS, but it’s STR, VIT, END and AGI are all over triple mine. Seriously game? Balance please!! Definitely not 200+ years of collective game design, right?

But I’m not done yet!

“Fuc-” I barely finished the first word when the boss literally appeared in front of me, despite the 100-meter gap between us. Barely getting out, a huge shockwave shook the whole city as some of the buildings collapsed, with just one punch. ONE PUNCH. ‘Holy shit’ I stared in disbelief at the destruction a single attack of it caused.

Charging up a [Void Ray], I fired at its massive body, only for it to dodge at the last second, the beam barely grazing it. Of course, it still dealt quite a healthy amount of damage, but it’s nothing compared to the HP pool of the giant. By my calculation, even if I exhausted all my mana, I’d barely be able to get it down to 1/3 of its health.

That’s when I decided to change my tactics. Taking out my knives, I activated [Void Ray] again, but this time, instead of releasing it, I held it and apply the magic on my knives’ edges.

New skill created

Void Edge - Active|-|LV 2/100: Applies Void attributes to your attacks, dealing armor penetrating damage. Armor penetration (LV)%

Cost: 450MP/sec

(Note: Armor penetration means both physical and mystical defend penetration. If it's purely physical then it'll be Lethality and if it's purely mystical it'll be Shield Break) (Sorry, can't think of any good names for magic pen, if anyone has ideas, please comment them, thank you)

‘Nice’ What’s even better is that with my current MP regen, I can keep this skill up indefinitely, meaning OP system for the win! Apparently, the boss was not happy with my monologue, as it once again bulldozed its way towards me.

Grabbing an electric pole, I suddenly found myself on the receiving end of a rather intense spanking game as I tried to dodge the zombie’s swings as much as I could, while it continued to try hitting my ass.

“Get the fuck away from me!” I screamed at the top of my lungs before I lunged to evade another strike.

Another roar was what I got for the answer, and somehow it triggered “Rage Mode”, which massively increased STR and AGI for a short while, and began closing the distance at an alarming rate.

While I don’t necessarily run out of breath, I can still feel the fatigue building up inside my body. Getting the skill “Sprint” doesn’t really help much, as the giant zombie’s speed is way faster than mine. I have abandoned running away a while back and start luring him into a dense area where I can utilize the environment as my shield.

Eventually, I managed to get out of the boss’ sight, and settled down on a tree branch. During the chase, all I got in was a few shallow cuts that barely dropped the guy’s health below 90%, while mine took quite a few hits and got down to 75%.

Time to change tactics. That bastard’s never gonna know what hit him.

Finally, I killed the boss. Stabbing a few more times in the head to make sure he stays dead, unlike last time when I didn’t check and it revived with 1% HP. Lesson learned, if you want to kill something, make sure it stays dead.

“Hah, I have the power of god and anime on my side.” I yelled as I stabbed him one last time in the head.

Killing the boss boosted me past the level 30 mark, but then I got a notification.

Due to player’s level 5 levels higher than the highest setting of the dungeon, player now has limited EXP gain towards level

Which kinda makes sense, I guess?

Anyway, true to its words, I re-farmed the dungeon and barely got any experience, therefore I decided to train my skills instead. And lucky for me, I still got full EXP for skill level ups.

Training my [Void Sense] and [Elemental Magic], I can now safely clear the tier 1 dungeon while being blindfolded. Ghoul and Wraiths got added a few levels ago, and since they have the ability to conceal themselves via magic, it was pretty handy for me to have [Void Sense].

Now I’ve reached a plateau where no matter how hard I train, I’d barely get any status points. The higher-level dungeon won’t open until I reach level 50, and without the EXP provided by the lower one, I guess the only thing left for me to do now is to prepare for the canon’s start, namely equipment, food and water, and survival toolkit.

Getting all of those, which includes several clothes sets for several people, canned food and water that can last for a week, and 3 survival toolkits, took me a whole week to secure. My sister unfortunately departed on a school trip to a training camp for a whole month starting Monday, but I have her location at all times, so I’m not particularly worried.

How did I do it, you ask? Well, the clothes and foods were simple enough, I just gotta avoid buying them in bulk to arouse suspicion. The survival toolkits were a bit harder, as Tokonosu City isn’t famous for hiking and all that, so shops that sell those are few and far between. In the end, I had to order them online, and it cost me a bit more… Oh, you were asking about how I have my sister’s location at all times. That was quite easy to be honest. All I had to do was put my mana into a few of her clothing artifacts, making sure it had enough so it wouldn't run out in a month, and use that to track my sister.

The method was quite crude since I didn’t have any tracking spell at the time. It was only after my sister left did I get the skill registered. Welp, no use crying over spilt milk now, the upside is that at least I know where my sister is.

[Time skip: Next week]

A new week, and another dreadful Monday to go through. Why do I hate Monday you ask? Well, considering it is the root of all of my worries I have on Sunday, I’d say it’s justified. Luckily, I’m on my gap year, meaning I don’t have to worry about homework and assignments… yet.

Putting on a new set of clothes, I got out of the house and started walking to the city center. Feeling lazy, I decided to have breakfast outside. On the way, I passed the Fujimi Academy, and I couldn’t help but notice some of the main cast. Who did I see, well, that’s for me to know and for you to find out.

“Yuichi-kun~”

And this is something I didn’t expect at all. Before I even reacted, a blur tackled me in my abdomen, nearly knocking air out of me. Suppressing my urge to grab and throw the attacker to the wall next to me, I simply held her up to my eye level and gave her the most deadpan look I could muster.

“Nice to meet you too, Shiromi-senpai. If you don’t mind me asking, shouldn’t you be at school now?” This young lady in front of me is Shiromi, my upperclassmen when I was in high school. She was also a member of the student council. We met when I was caught in a ruckus between some students, which led to self-defense, I repeat, it was self-defense. I didn’t kick the two douche in the nuts because I found them annoying, not at all. It was legitimate self-defense.

Now, while she’s standing at a respectable height of 147cm, don’t let her petite and cute look fool you. She has one of the largest sizes in the school, and I’m not talking about her three sizes. How she can hide it perfectly eludes me even until now, despite my best attempt at analyzing her. (Believe me, I even tried to flip her skirt up one time)

“What, aren’t you glad that your cute senpai came to see you?” She pouted, and I got to admit, she looked kind of cute, but from my interactions with her, I clearly know she’s trying to divert the question. That’s why I’m still deadpanning at her.

“That didn’t work huh, well, can’t fault a girl for trying. Mou, you’re still not fun at all Yu-kun, even though we spent all those intimate moments with each other~…

…

…

W-well, to be honest, I was having a fever a few days ago, so I stayed home for a few days, but since I got better yesterday, I decided to go out and have some fun today before going back to school tomorrow. Speaking of which, how does it feel having a gap year? Did you decide what you’d do?” She asked with a curious tone.

“Ah, I’m glad that you got better senpai. As for my gap year, I decided to travel across a few countries in Europe starting a few weeks from now. Having a gap year, I feel like it’ll allow me to develop skills I need for the future, or at least that’s what everybody else is saying.” Chuckling, I release my hold on her and gently drop her down.

“By the way, I’m going to get breakfast, do you want to come with me?”

“Sure!” Shiromi replied happily, before taking my arm and walking with me.

By the time we got to the shopping district, it was a little over 8 A.M. Business is just starting to get busy, and before we know it, we found ourselves sitting in a café shop waiting for our orders.

I got myself a classic American style breakfast while Shiromi settled for tea and sandwiches. The meal was quite delicious, and we took a while relaxing, sipping away our beverages.

After that, senpai dragged me to the nearby shopping center where I went along and helped her test out all kinds of clothes. Eventually, we reached an underwear shop where she unhesitatingly dragged me in, despite my protests. Not willing to acknowledge the looks that I got, I folded my arms and simply waited outside her change room while listening to some music on my phone.

Suddenly, I felt a hand grabbing me, and before I knew it, I was already in front of a half-naked Shiromi, clad in a black frilly babydoll. It’s transparent fabric did little to hide her slender figure, and along with her boobs fully on display, it didn’t take me long to get hard.

“So… what’s this all about senpai?” I decided to play it cool, despite having a roaring erection, even though it’s not showing through my large pants.

“Muu… don’t tease me like that Yu-kun. You know it has been a while since we last have any sex, I have to relieve myself every day without you. Even though I’ve been trying on sexy clothes to turn you on, you still haven’t done anything to me yet. Now take off those clothes and fuck me!” She pouted sullenly, punching me in the chest as she ranted. I waited for her to finish before patting her head as I always do, before wrapping one hand around her wrist and pulling her in, locking our lips against each other. She responded eagerly, her mouth parted as our tongues found each other, coiling, dancing as we deepened our kiss.

My left hand went below, snaking into her panties before I grabbed hold of her genitalia and began fondling it. Her small penis hardened instantly, from 7cm to an impressive length of 40cm. Her balls get larger as well, going from ping pong ball size to shot put ball.

While I kept on fondling her round fruits in my palm, my finger reached down below and found her cunt wet with juices. A minute or two has passed, and we finally separated, leaving a silvery string of saliva connecting our lips. We immediately smashed our lips together for another make out, both her and my eyes were filled with lust and hunger for the other.

As I’m pleasuring both her above and lower, she’s not just enjoying it either. Without the need to look, she swiftly took off my pants, leaving my dick throbbing in the air, grinding against hers. Our hot penises curled around each other as our glans touched just like we’re kissing. With her soft hand, her gentle touch dances across our length as she pleasures the two of us. My right hand now moved down to holding her bottom as I lifted her up to my height and pushed her against the mirror behind.

My hand groped and felt her smooth, round behinds while the other began inserting fingers into her wet folds.

“Mhnnmm… haa…haa… it feels so good~ Keep going… Yuu~…” Shiromi’s breath became irregular, as pleasure seems to fill her mind. She struggles to speak coherently between breathes, and I’m faring no better against her handjob.

“Hng… ahh… your hands feel… amazing… senpai…” I grunted out, electric jolts up my spine with each of her strokes. In retaliation, I inserted another digit inside her, and began speeding up my pumping. Her snatch tightens around me, even more so whenever I’m pulling out before thrusting in.

At this point, none of us are of clear mind to even speak as we engage in another lip-lock, attempting to muffle the moans of pleasure. Pressure began building up inside me, at the same time I felt her balls churning and tightening in my palm, and both of our sticks got even bigger. We kissed, moaning into each other’s mouth as our orgasm came at the same time, a tower of white fluid shot up between us, landing on our faces and chests, and a huge flood of sweet nectar ran down my hand.

With ragged breathing, most of my strength left my body as I staggered to balance, with Shiromi falling onto me. We finished with another sloppy kiss, and after that I lapped up all of her juices on my hand and her cum on my face. Her nectar has a sweet taste, reminiscent of that of orange, while her cum has a more full-bodied feel to it. Senpai did the same, as she scooped up the cum on her chest and down it in one gulp.

After the first orgasm, Shiromi’s penis is now semi-erected while mine is still at full mast. Having unlimited stamina has its perks, but this is one of the downsides of it, unfortunately.

Tugging her half hard rod down under her shirt as I did with mine, we began putting on our clothing. Due to the mess we unfortunately created without the staff knowing, as a silent apology, I left a tip quite larger than usual for them.

Clearly, both me and my dear senpai know that we’re not satisfied, so before long, we once again in each other’s embrace, fully naked this time, in a hot tub inside one of the hotels nearby. The tub was just long enough for me to stretch my legs, and since senpai is sitting opposite to me in the tub, I did something we haven’t done in a while.

Grabbing her penis suddenly must have startled her, but she’s obediently letting me do what I please. I’m sure she’s now realizing what I’m trying to do as I line up my penis against her, and with a single thrust, now inside her urethra. Her dick returned to fully erect immediately, and a moan of pleasure was heard as I lengthened my hard penis and reached all the way inside, touching her base.

The tight, wet and hot feeling of her urethra is driving me crazy with pleasure as I remember it, and since it doesn’t have any folds, it created a slick suction as her penis contracts and tried to suck me in.

Pulling her in for a kiss pushed my meat rod in even deeper, as now I’m hitting her prostate with my glans. Her body shook from pleasure as I continuously pushed against it, sending jolts across her. My hand also massaged and rolled around her B-cups, occasionally pinching her nipples, eliciting sharp moans of pleasure. Her eyes glazed from all the pleasure hitting all at once.

We had a sloppy kiss as her dick tightened even further before I felt her stream of cum pushing against my dick, but the sheer tightness also pushed me over the edge, so I came as well.

Letting out a grunt, I felt the pressure inside me burst as cum shot out my dick like a flood, splashing against hers. Shiromi tried to push the cum out by tightening her penis, but since I’m inside her, it gave me even more pleasure.

I responded by exerting more **** in my ejaculation, before the last of cum left my burning dick. With nowhere to go, both my and her cum flowed backwards into her testicles. The only reason she didn’t cry out in pain was because I applied [Grant Elasticity], which I got from gacha, on her beforehand. Instead of discomfort, she only felt pleasure as her insides were filled with hot and sticky semen.

She passed out as an intense wave of pleasure hit her, her mind blanked out for a moment before she quickly regained consciousness and pulled me in for another kiss. Slowly, I pulled out of her, watching her penis go soft before it once again rock hard as she came from the pressure of the cum inside her balls. She released it all into the tub, before squeezing her testicles to milk out any remaining cum.

Carrying Shiromi in my arms, I carefully took her to the bathroom and cleaned ourselves up. We spent a total of 3 hours fucking our brains out, and even with my limitless stamina, the fatigue is getting to me. My cum is dripping from her mouth, dick, pussy and ass while I’m swallowing the last bit of her sweet cum down my throat, with cum in my ass as well.

After thoroughly washing the two of us, I got us both a new set of clothes and set her down the bed to sleep. Getting out of the room silently, I walked down the street of the shopping district looking for lunch. Eventually I settled for some burgers and ordered more to take out for senpai.

The afternoon went by like a breeze as we tired ourselves out at the arcade, going around book shops and game stores, before we decided to call it a day and went our separate ways.

Back at home, I decided to forgo dinner since I don’t really need it, and retire myself to bed. A notification popped up, but as my mind was so close submerging into the sweet darkness of sleep, I barely noticed it.

A/N: So… uhmm, I’m back? I guess… Anyway, this is probably one of the longest chapters I’ve ever written for any story as of date, and I hope you guys enjoyed it. I’ll probably post a separate chapter containing information about characters and I’ll update it as the story progresses. Please give me your reviews on how you think the story could be improved, I’d really appreciate it.
