I took a look at the address and nodded to myself as I memorized it, and I grabbed a map pamphlet from a stand as I passed.
'Okay so I've got a month before my new school life begins...' I thought to myself, 'My first order of business is to locate my new house, get an assessment of everything.
Second is that I need to make friends with someone from Kuoh, preferably Issei, or Rias, or Sona, or their Peerages.
Then power level, the Shade's are weak, but they're pretty much ghosts, that's going to be useful... Actually... Menu, Spirits.
[[Spirits]]
[Shade Spirit Lvl 1]
'Can I examine the Shade Spirit for an explanation of their abilities?' I thought
[Shade's: These are spiritual monsters that take the form's of floating robes and are usually armed with iron hooks.]
[Abilities available]
[Shadow movement: Shade's can sink into the darkness and pull others with them, for either combat or a quick escape.]
[Phase: As a ghostly creature, Shade's can easily phase through solid object, though they cannot phase through attacks- That would just be too easy for them]
[More abilities can be unlocked by finding Spirit Guides]
'Not too shabby.' I thought with a smirk.
I looked up and noticed I had actually reached the address of my new house, "Well shit,
I gotta read when I walk more often if this is how fast I walk while I'm reading something."
Pulling out a set of keys that, thankfully, came with the letter I unlocked the door to the house and decided to look around.
A kitchen, a living room, a bathroom were all on the ground floor, and on the second floor was a quartet of rooms, three bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower.
"Well... It's bare as all heck, but it's a nice place." I said wiping the dust off the table, "Just needs some new furniture... and a little dusting."
I looked over to the refrigerator and not smelling anything, figured it was empty, which after I checked, was empty,
"And I need to stock up on food for guests. As a Gamer I may never get hungry, but I can't have a visitor show up with no food to give them, that's just not courteous."
And that's when I remembered I leveled up.
"Stats." I said.
[Vincent Lane]
[Title: The Gamer]
[Age: 17]
[Human (For now)]
[Male]
[Sacred Gear: None (You might want to hold off on getting one for a while)]
[Level 2]
[Exp: 50/300]
[HP: 110/110]
[MP: 80/80]
[STR: 6]
[VIT: 6]
[AGI: 7]
[INT: 6]
[WIS: 5]
[LUCK: 6]
[Unused Stat points: 5]
"Plus one to Wisdom, One to Vitality, One to Luck, and two to Strength." I said moving those stats into position.
[HP: 132/132]
[MP: 80/80]
[STR: 8]
[VIT: 7]
[AGI: 8]
[INT: 6]
[WIS: 6]
[LUCK: 7]
"Okay after this I'm gonna save up those Stat points for a while, at least until I need them."
I said, what better way to get an opponent to go 'WTF?' than having a sudden power spike... plus I kinda wanna wait until I need to start using them before I start spamming them.
Next on my agenda... Well, I need some quick cash so I think I'm gonna go shoot some Shades.
"Create I.D. Shades." I said.
Pretty soon my world was replaced by that dark and creepy forest once again.
I gave a quick thought about the Shade in my Spirits and soon enough the little ball of flames appeared in my hand.
Seeing as I can equip my Spirits on my equipment screen I figured I'd just toss this one in front of me.
Doing so, when the Spirit hit the ground it dissipated almost instantly, causing a Shade to float out of the ground and into existence, the only difference I saw was that it's cloak was now a deep shade of red, enough to stand out among other Shades.
"Well, at least I won't shoot my Shade thinking it's an enemy Shade." I said pulling out my revolver and keeping it to my side as I walked ahead.
An enemy Shade formed not too long after I started walking, and in reaction I quickly lifted my revolver to my hip and shot before I could properly aim.
[You've now created Firearm mastery. Sorry it took so long for this, you weren't allowed to have it in the tutorial.]
[You've created a new Skill: Quickdraw.]
[Quickdraw Lvl 1]
[Pulling up your weapon quickly and firing it from the hip without care for exact accuracy allows for a faster, stronger shot that can stun most enemies.]
[[INFO: Stunned Enemies]]
[When an Enemy is stunned, your next Physical attack/Combo can potentially do a lot damage, just make sure you don't keep the combo up too long or the enemy will snap out of it and counterattack]
[Enemies defeated during a Stun attack have a higher chance to leave behind Spirits.]
I looked away from those screens and saw the enemy Shade was leaning pretty far back from the recoil of the shot, on top of losing 10 HP.
I quickly stowed my revolver away, and ran up to the stunned Shade. I grabbed it by it's hook arm ad kneed it in the 'gut', dealing a surprising 26 damage, and causing it to tumble back, but as I was holding onto it I pulled it back to me before letting go and giving it a roundhouse kick to the back of the head, dealing 29 Damage, more than enough to kill it.
"Roadhouse." I said glaring at the dissolving Shade before I burst out laughing. I couldn't help myself on that one.
[You've created Hand-To-Hand Mastery, now start punching everything!]
Aside from my new pop-up, I noticed that the Shade had left behind another Shade cloth, and a small stack of Yen, I counted 300 Yen.
"I'm gonna be here a while aren't I?" I asked my Shade.
It responded with a nod of it's hood.
"Ho boy." I sighed pulling out my revolver, "Time to shoot some shit up!"
