Ice magic, Yami is a sadist? And a wild Abridged Asuna appears? Watch out, she may or may not try to set you on fire with her mind.

[The affection of "Esdeath" has increased to 999 - Total Absolute and Utter Obsession]

[STATUS - AFFECTION

-----------------------------------------------

Esdeath: Total Absolute and Utter Obsession (999)

---------------------------------------------- ]

[The constellation "God-father" is excited and has sponsored 1000 System Points.]

[The constellation "God is a girl" is remembering what happened on that night and is wiggling around with red cheeks.]

Yami was currently looking at the "chat-log" of messages he received, but there was one more that he specifically looked at:

[The skill "Ice Magic" has been acquired.]

"Eve, why did I gain this magic?"

He had a far or not so far fetched idea after all, there was only one person with the ability to control ice around him. And Eve confirmed his suspicion.

{Esdeath.}

"Am I right in the assumption that I gained a ability from Esdeath through fucking her?"

{That's right. Great isn't it?}

"..."

[...]

[The constellation "Awkward silence" is waiting for your judgement,]

He took a deep breath.

"God, you are fucked up… AND I LOVE IT!!"

[The constellation "God-father" has a big smile on his face. 100 System Points have been sponsored.]

"Are you serious? You give me points for being praised?"

[The constellation "Literally any social media plattform" says that this is important! After all he and his ego are the best in the world!]

Yami just rolled his eyes and opened the system to see how many Points he currently has.

[Current System Points: 32 700]

"You have been really stingy with your points, haven't you?!"

[The constellation "Scrooge McDuck" is looking at his dear few, unlimited and infinite, points.]

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

[The constellation "Air-head" is apologizing. Although she has already forgotten what she is apologizing for.]

"She? The Air-head is a she? Of course, only she's can be airheads, man can nerver be, right… God, are you a sexist?"

[The constellation "Advocate of Gender Equality" is saying that Air-head girls are cute and air-head men are you dumb, now choose.]

"Can't argue with that, I have been defeated."

With this shift in conversation God had managed to slip away from his own mistake of not giving Yami any points… almost.

"Bitch you thought! NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY!"

[...]

"..."

{Yami, I think he is gone.}

"..."

{...}

"God, you owe me a lot of points, now with interest! Welcome to capitalism, bi*ch!"

He would "collect" the "debt" later but for now he should try out the magic he got. Magic was a huge deal after all, especially since DxD was a lot about magic.

{And you will probably be caught up in the events since you met that naugthy kitty, nya~}

"This naughty kitty and all the other waifus are more than worth the trouble. But one quick question, are the timelines and stuff the same? Can I make out the point in time through the escape of Kuroka?"

{Sadly and luckily no, God has changed the events to his liking. I don't know everything but I'm guessing that he messed with the story; Shuri isn't killed yet and Grayfia isn't married to Sirzechs, stuff like that.}

Suddenly the biggest smile possible appeared on Yami's face.

"GOD, I LOVE YOU!!! All debt is gone, this is something that is worth more than any money! Grayfia I will come for you! Shuri, the NTR is approaching, although there is something that needs to be done about your sadist side... "

(Well, I did already make sure of all of that with the "Backstory" of course.)

Already making the greatest plans, Yami couldn't wait to get into the DxD plot. But he also knew that without strength he wouldn't be able to do any of the things he wanted. And for that, he needed to train.

"Eve, how do I use magic?"

{Actually, I think it is easier if I manually activate the skill for you and you experience using magic first hand, it's better that way.}

Yami just nodded. He stretched out his arm and aimed at one of the trees nearby.

A second later, an icicle shot out from his hand and pierced into the tree.

"I see…"

The magic he just used didn't need casting or anything like that. If he needed to describe it, it was like moving his arm. One could just do it without really knowing how and what you are doing to make it move. However, the better he understood the process of doing it, the better and more efficient he would be able to use it.

"Is this how magic works in the main world as well?"

It was way easier than anything he had thought of and not like the magic system from DxD or most other anime.

{No, this casting is special. Because there are a lot of different kinds of magic from different anime, there are different ways to utilize magic as well. It would be very difficult for you to learn all those different ways of usage. Thus God gave you the ability to use all kinds of magic in the most simple way possible. Actually, this was because of the wish you made. It's way better this way, right?}

"Yes! I don't need to spout cheesy or cliche lines and can just use magic instantly. But I still need to train how to use magic. I should ask Esdeath to teach me. Maybe I will give her a reward instead of punishment if she is a good teacher."

After that Yami continued to try out what he could and couldn't do with his magic.

It was clear that he was far from the skill Esdeath had, but that just showed him that there was big room for improvement and his "teacher" was probably the most suitable person, since she was very good at using ice and had vast combat experience. This Scenario was the time for Yami to train and grow, he knew that and he would use it fully.

- - -

Yami was sitting on a bed again. He was back in the inn he had stayed in most of the time. There were only four days until the boss-raid. All the time he was running around the 1. Floor and completing quests and farming EXP. He had reached level 10 and was nearing level 11. That was during the day, during the night he was in Paradise and sparring with Mikasa and Esdeath. Mikasa had requested to get a kiss every time she won against Yami, because of that both of them had intense duels that were already at a very high level of swordsmanship.

Both, not all of them had improved by leaps and bonds within the time since they had entered SAO. Mikasa had fought and trained against all kinds of monsters on the first floor to get better to get that kiss. Esdeath was motivated as well ever since she had sworn her total loyalty to him and "devoted everything of herself" to Yami.

Yami himself was surprised by the growth he had. He was positive that he could fight against most experienced players and swordsmen and at least not be defeated, although he wasn't sure about winning. And with the support of the Ice-Queen herself his control and ability with Ice Magic had increased as well. Esdeath had gotten a lot of "rewards" for her efforts as well.

They had a few duels with only sword/rapier and ice magic.

He lost all of them. Not surprising.

But he more than fatally defeated her in all the battles at night.

Both of them had a lot of fun in the past days, but he hadn't taken any other girl just yet. Why?

Mikasa and Raphtalia should approach him on their own once they were ready. And Tsunade? Well, she had actually told him something; "At least the first time of both Esdeath and you should be special. Just immediatley having sex with another woman right after isn't something you should do. Although we all agree with being part of a harem, girls aren't just collectives to be possessed."

And Yami respected that. It wouldn't be long anyway. After all the sexual moaning they had been hearing the girls could barely hold themselves back. Of course he could have just made a sound-barrier inside of Paradise with his "energy" but he didn't. This would just push the girls and why should Yami do anything against something that only benefited him?

He remembered that Esdeath really liked being "rewarded" just like being "punished". It seemed that she was turned on by both him being "nice" and him being "evil". Yami still preferred being "evil" since he liked that more and it gave him a greater pleasure.

Kinky? Yes.

He grinned widely and as he remembered the wild last night. The sense of sex and pleasure was something that Yami already loved. It was a great joy in life after all. And having sex with a lot of beautiful anime Waifus is a goal that even God stood behind.

All throughout the last few days, especially the nights, God had sent a lot of messages as well as Points, they were normally a amount of 69… He had also received quite a few messages from "God is a girl".

[Current System Points: 36 969]

Yami went out of his room, out of the inn and headed to the plaza again. He should make it to level 11 or maybe even level 12 before the four days pass.

The town now had a lot of players in it, but after almost 2000 players had died on the first floor already, they weren't really in a good or lively mood, at least most of them.

He leaned against his favourite tree on the plaza and waited for the crowd near the quest-board to thin a bit. The high level quests would be left because most people wouldn't want to take the risk.

Actually, the only quest that Yami was still interested in was the one which could only be done by a male and a female. He didn't know much about it but there were a few rumors; it was a very high-level quest but dangerous as well. He didn't know how much of this gossip was right, but since he had already done all the other profitable quests, he was interested.

He still needed a female partner to do the quest though… Well, maybe God might do something about that.

"Shit!"

"What is this!!"

Yami looked over because of the sudden shouts. What he saw there were bugs. Yes, bugs in a game. Some of the buildings had distorted a bit and such stuff. Yami was confused but as he spotted the sparks of Probability, he had a thought.

(So this is the destruction that God's involvement in worlds brings?)

Since this was partially SAO-Abridged bugs and so on weren't all that rare. But this was different, this was an example of the consequences of God's interference inside a world. In this case the God forced something to happen through Probability and the world was already breaking down in this place because of such a minor interference. This showed that God was just so powerful that a mere action of his could end a whole world in moments or less.

[The constellation "With great power comes great responsibility" is averting his eyes from the destruction and death he just caused.]

But there was one thing that he wasn't sure about, but his dear wife already knew what he wanted to know.

{The backlash from interfering is way stronger in SAO than in the main world because of the "strength" of the given world. It is a lot more complicated, but to make it easy to understand, the main world is just able to withstand a lot more of God's interference than this world that he created just for the Scenario.}

Yami looked around and saw that the Probability and bugs were already gone. It seemed that whatever event God wanted was about to occur. Because of that Yami looked around him to find what God had influenced.

And then… he heard a certain voice from a nearby alley.

"HOW DO I EAT YOU?!"

(Oh fuck! It's Abridged Asuna! Why am I surrounded by psychopaths and part-time yanderes all the time?!)

[The constellation "Psychopaths are hot" is smiling.]

Asuna is a psychopath and Yandere?

Yes. At least Abridged Asuna is.

For reference, please watch this beautiful video to get a better understanding of both Abridged Kirito and Abridged Asuna and their personalities. (Kurt and Ass)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flcX6OXh37s&t=954s

He was a bit hesitant, Abridged Asuna/Ass has a lot more complicated personality than the original Asuna. But luckily he watched a great video about the characters of both Abridged- Kirito/Kurt and Asuna/Ass. It was really interesting how they got actual deep characters and character development, not like the original bland characters and time skip relationship building shit.

Yes, SAO Abridged is better than the real SAO.

"You don't know how to eat? How the hell did you survive all this time?"

Yami, who wore his white coat, just walked up to her. Straightforward was probably the best way of approaching her. And he used one of Kirito's lines as well, she did eventually fall in love with him after all.

Asuna looked up at him from under her cloak thingy that she wore. Yami didn't really know why she wore it, through her voice it was easy to know that she was a girl.

(Maybe she doesn't know how to undress it because she doesn't know how to open the menu…)

"..."

Asuna stared at him and noticed that he was seriously waiting for an answer instead of just being a random passerby.

"... I don't know how to open the menu."

This wasn't really an answer to the question but the thing that Yami was waiting for.

"You are a girl right? If yes, then I might be able to help you."

[The constellation "SIMP!" is shouting at you SIMP!]

He should probably explain further, otherwise he would definitely be a SIMP.

"There is a quest that needs a male and female to complete and if you do it with me, I will tell you how to open the menu. With that you should finally be able to eat, look."

Yami took out a delicious looking sandwich. Yes, he had skilled cooking already. This was something in which he might actually learn something for the future since he still wanted to improve his cooking. He was already at Foodgasm level, but he wanted to know if he could transcend that.

Just the smell and look of the food in front of her made Asuna almost drool. She had literally not eaten anything since forever.

(In the start he didn't know anything about the game. If I help her a bit she might open up to me. Well, she seriously asked whether XP's was something from which she will die… But even Kirito had to acknowledge her skill and talent in sword fighting.)

He looked at Asuna and she looked at him. This was probably the first time someone wanted to team up with her since she didn't even know how to open the menu.

"Why me?"

Although Asuna was a noob in the game, she wasn't a dumb person at all. She was even a very good manipulator as a yandere. As such could be seen when she talked with Kirito about Sachi and she literally cut open his wound just to be the hand that holds that wound together, making him unable to leave her because she is the only person who he knows is strong enough to not die like and tear him apart like Sachi.

"Do you think it is easy to find a female who isn't already in a party that would be fine with doing a high-level quest that might get her killed? This game is full of horny teenage boys, of course all girls who want to are already part of some group. I haven't met any other person whom I could get to help me just by telling them how to open their menu."

His worlds actually made sense to Asuna but there was something else that she wanted to know.

"I don't know what you mean by "high-level quest" but you said that it can get me killed. Why should I go if that is the chase."

Yami put on a smile. Well, it was more of a mocking smile than a nice one. But seriously, how couldn't she even have heard about high-level or quest? Leveling and doing quests was almost all that SAO was made of! At least that was his experience until now.

"Oh, if the princess is afraid, this knight is very strong, you will just need to follow behind me and you will be safe."

Asuna felt like she was challenged by this handsome white haired boy in front of her. She was quite competitive as could be seen when she and Kirito both tried to kill the boss on the first floor first.

"Try me, bitch."

Yami's smile widened a bit.

"Please, if you want to have a go at it you just need to send me a duel challenge. It's quite easy really, just open your menu."

"Okay fine, I will come to this quest and after that I will show you who is the afraid princess between the two of us!"

Well, that was easier than he thought. Maybe God had a hand in this or it was something else? Not like it really mattered to Yami.

"Okay, I will invite you to a party. You just need to press on the accept button."

Yami made sure to send a friend request as well and Asuna just accepted both of them after thinking that the invite came twice.

"Good then, we just need to go to a NPC in the south of this town."

As they walked Asuna asked him what a NPC was and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he ended up just explaining to her about a few terms like NPC, XP and Level. In the future she would be the vice-commander of one of the strongest guilds, she should become a highly capable player and leader in the future but at the moment Yami couldn't really see much of that.

Except for the "try me, bitch" Asuna had after that started being her kind and innocent persona, this one matched the original a lot.

{As I already mentioned, since the universes were kinda mixed, she now has the original Asuna side that is nice and caring and so on. But she also has the Abridged version which is a psychopathic yandere…}

(Yeeey, more to deal with. In the classroom there are already a lot of problems and Esdeath had just been "mellowed down". And now there is the girl who burned down the shop of her "best friend" just because Liz looked like she wanted to make a move on Kirito.)

Yami actually liked both of the characters, but the nice Asuna was just, well nicer and easier to deal with. Abridged Asuna was a better written character on the other hand, since the original was quite bland, just like Kirito. Both of them are more interesting and maybe a bit more human? In Abridged.

He talked to a female NPC who told them that there was some strong monster in a cave in the north of the town.

- - -

After a lot of walking later they finally reached the mentioned cave. Both of them didn't really talk much all the way. But he had explained to her the basics of combat such as drawing aggro.

"Okay, I already told you the plan, I will first go and get its attention, after that you go attack it, we withdraw a bit and repeat. According to the type of enemy we will need to change the strategy."

Asuna just nodded and they entered the cave. Yami looked inside and was a bit surprised by what he saw.

(Did someone buy Illfang on wish?)

The monster looked like a smaller version of the boss monster of the first floor. In contrast to the boss it was green with yellow eyes. It only had an axe and no shield or any other weapon. There weren't any other monsters either. Obviously it was just a monster that was a bit stronger than the normal ones, but no boss or mini boss like the deer.

According to Eve, it should be level 7. That's high-level for the first floor it seemed.

"Okay, change of strategy, we don't need to withdraw. I will try to get its attention and you deal damage. You should focus on not getting hit while I do most of it."

Although she didn't really like that he wanted to do anything, she also knew that it was rather for her own safety than for other reasons.

Yami summoned the sword he got from the mini boss, it was still the best he had after all this time.

He made a stance to activate a sword skill with which he would rush towards his opponent and instantly pierce it. The first hit should already do a lot of damage and he would be the one who received the aggro. He didn't have any taunt skills, he wasn't a tank build after all.

With the glowing sword he started rushing towards the cheap copy of Illfang. Because it was looking into another direction than the entrance from which they came in, it wasn't able to avoid the attack and was pierced right into its head.

Yami put his sword in front of him to block the incoming axe while Asuna was already rushing towards the monster from another side while activating a sword skill.

(She is really a talent. I don't know who is better in this regard, her, Esdeath or MIkasa. Well at the moment the two are way better than her because of their experience. But because of all the floor she is going to fight through that might change… Nah, I don't think that it is that easy to come near those two strongest warriors of their respective anime.)

Although he was a bit distracted by his thoughts he still perfectly blocked the incoming strike. He had already done that more than enough times. He had placed emphasis on learning how to block, deflect and evade attacks since he knew that those were even more important than attacking your enemy. If the enemy can't deal damage to you, no matter how little you damage him, after time, he will eventually lose. That didn't mean that Yami wasn't good at attacking, not at all. He was already very proficient in sword fighting, so much so that Esdeath and Mikasa were both amazed. They were prodigies in fighting, but Yami wasn't losing to them at all, rather, with their guidance he was learning even faster than both of them had.

As Yami blocked, the monster's rear was attacked by Asuna's rapier. Just as it wanted to turn around to attack her, Yami slashed at it. The monster had more HP than a normal one, but it wasn't all that much.

"Your enemy is right here."

Following his words he swung his sword once again but it was interlocked with the enemies axe before it could hit him.

Using this opening Asuna once again attacked, this time from the back.

Because of the attack it had momentarily changed its focus a bit and Yami used this to end the lock of both their weapons by pressing the axe to the floor with both his hands on the swordhandle. Now that the "shield" was down, he made an upward strike at the face of the monster and instantly followed it by two consecutive strikes before it could raise its axe high enough again. Yami jumped back to create some distance between them.

The monster gave a kind of warcry and its axe glowed. Yami went into a defensive stance, putting his left foot forward while stabilizing his body with his right foot which was a bit behind his body. He grabbed the handle with both hands ready to position and swing his sword in all directions from which the attack might come.

Yami didn't understand why people would just use one hand to fight with a sword. If the person had a free hand he should use a shield. Shields are very important in any fight and should be used more by any fighters, especially since people in anime rarely used them. There was no good reason to only use a sword with only one hand. With two you would have better grip on the weapon meaning that you can lead the blade better. Of course you would have greater power since you have the strength of two arms instead of just one. This wasn't only important for attacking but for things such as raising his sword quickly after making a downwards strike or having to receive attack from above.

He had already thought about using a shield but decided that it wasn't suitable for him. He wanted to learn about how to use and fight with a big variety of weapons and after testing he was still the most inclined to just using a sword. And he didn't have anyone to help him train with a shield, unlike the training he got from the girls about how to use swords and rapiers. Esdeath had a kind of dagger-mastery as well since she used a dagger in her childhood.

The other reason was; Anime-logic. Does that need to be explained?

[The constellation "A main character should do what a main character should do." is saying that one handed swords are the weapons of Main-characters and this needs to be followed! Since when did fighting in anime make sense?]

Thus Yami had now entered an almost impenetrable defense, at least for mobs like this rip off.

Of course it didn't have enough intelligence to understand that and still charged at Yami.

The Sword Skill seemed to be one that had one extremely strong strike. It raised the axe and swung it at Yami's head.

Yami had already put his sword above his head the moment he knew that the strike would come from above. He had tilted the sword a bit, now the blade was a bit diagonal; the handle was on the top right while the tip of the blade was on the bottom left.

At the axe and sword clashed against each other Yami was able to withstand the strong force and didn't get knocked off balance because of his footing. Now both blades were interlocked once again, but not for long.

Just like he wanted, the axe slowly slid downwards the tilted sword. In response the monster just put even more strength into the weapon, hoping to break Yami's defense.

This was the opening Yami had waited for, he tilted the blade completely downwards, making the blade miss Yami by less than centimeter and heavily impact the ground. Had Yami not previously changed the spot of the axe he would have been sliced in half, at least from the trajectory the blade had before sliding towards the left.

Now that the Axe was stuck in the ground because of the power the monster put into it, Yami had a gigantic opening to attack. Because the sword was just tilted towards the ground, it was easy to change the position into a slash. He instantly activated a sword skill with two quick slashes and made a X on the body of the monster. Asuna didn't miss this opportunity either and stabbed it right in the head. Her precision and timing were really good.

The monster's HP were now in the red, no, they were practically almost gone.

As normal, the monster charged up his sword for a final attack, probably a very strong one.

"Like hell I'm going to wait for you."

Before the monster could even finish Yami had already cut off its head.

[The constellation "I'm just going to wait for my enemy to charge up his power because I'm an idiot" is nodding at your wisdom. 100 Points have been sponsored.]

Yami nodded because he totally agreed that letting your enemy just do whatever he wanted while stading by and watching was a thing that enraged him, many MC's and anime characters are very dumb. You can't argue with that.

"Hey Yami! We killed that thing and now it says that I have XP's. Is that bad? Am I dying?!"

He was barely holding back his urge to facepalm. Not only was this a line from the actual Abridged, but Yami had actually already explained to her what XP's were. She was an intelligent girl, how the hell did she already forget that?! Or was it just that this Abridged world liked its own jokes and lines that much?

Once again he briefly explained to her about leveling and XP. Because he didn't want to deal with this more than necessary he decided to go back to town as fast as possible, he needed to speak with the NPC to finish the quest and get the other rewards.

And it turned out that the quotes seemed to be nearly impossible to dodge.

"I want half. I want half the rewards. I did half the work, I should get half the reward."

This was what she said as Yami talked to the NPC to get the fruits of their labour.

(This doesn't really sound that good if it isn't about a coat, or rather, it isn't really funny if it isn't about cutting 1s and 0s. And what she is demanding is unnecessary as well since…)

"We will both receive the rewards since we are in a party."

As he said, after the NPC finished her way too long monologue that nobody really cared about, as in all RPGs, they got money and a few items. None of it was really noteworthy.

"You still need to show me how to open the system so we can duel!"

Oh right, he still needed to do that.

"It's quite simple, just make this motion with your hand as I show you. Right, why didn't you just imitate what the other players did to open the menu?"

At that moment it looked like Asuna was hit by a truck-kun. Sadly it wasn't one that would send her to a Isekai, it was a truck of realization. After that she didn't say anything anymore and just made the motion and finally opened the menu.

Although she wasn't really in a good mood at the moment, Yami still roughly explained each of the sub-menus that could be seen.

Probably to take her negative feelings out of something, Asuna immediately challenged him to a duel once she knew how to. It wasn't one where they would kill each other of course.

Both of them were facing each other, one with a sword the other with a rapier in hand.
