Chapter 29 - Scouting the new world 1/2

"So, let me get this right... you summoned me just so I could do what I do best?" Edward Teach asks with a wide grin.

"Exactly, you're Blackbeard, the most infamous pirate the worlds ever seen... I want you to harass the Empires ships, cause them as much trouble as you can. As long as you give the Empire hell you are free to do as you please." I say getting a deep laughter from him, I summoned him and immediately put him through a dungeon to get him up to a useful level. I made Mata do it as well, the Game has given me a new option for training, I can sacrifice my own Exp to double my parties, which is definitely worth it, I can grind alone if I want to level myself.

It cost me a fair amount of gold to buy a galleon and a crew for him, but I think it'll pay itself off, the Empire uses a small fleet of ships from what my spirits have seen, and I want them all at the bottom of the ocean... they're also using fishing ships to try and gather food to replace what I've had Kushimaru destroy, I want to put a stop to that.

I want the Empire to be hobbling along on its last legs when I decide to go and finish the job. Starving their forces seems like a good start...

"Gahahaha! And I was worried being a Servant would be boring! You aren't a bad one lad! I'll give them Hell! The Legend of Blackbeard will spread to another world!" he yells excitedly, I almost pity the empire... a Heroic Servant Blackbeard hunting down their ships as my own personal bloodhound.

Or I would if they weren't in my world. Besides, the worse things are for them while the Empire rules, the better my own rule will seem.

It's just basic logic.

- Later -

"...Kuro, why is Akeno doing that?" Rias asks me as she looks up at my throne, I was just doing some checks on my Domains, which needs me sitting on my throne.

Looking down at the kneeling girl at my side I shrug.

"She was like that when I got here." I say giving the chain attached to Akeno's collar a tug.

"Ufufufu..."

"Why is she naked?" she asks again.

"I honestly have no idea, she was already naked and chained to my throne when I got here..."

"Ufufufu..." Akeno giggled as she leaned against my leg.

"Dammit Akeno, stop laughing."

"...I kinda like it to be honest." I admit placing a hand on her head.

"I understand, My Love. I will ensure there is always a naked girl chained to your throne." Serena says from the side of the room getting my attention. Before I can say anything she leaves, planning the rota for the new 'duty'.

"...Oops."

"Dammit Akeno, now look at what you've done." Rias says.

"Ufufufu..."

- Later -

"So, have you decided? You are now the last of the Shining Light leadership, whether through enslavement or death, you and the threat you represent ends today." I say coldly as I stare at Clarissa.

"If I choose enslavement, what would you have me doing?" she asks after a moment.

"Whatever I want. Fighting for me, guarding my lands, warming my bed... you aren't important enough for me to be nice to you, choose already." I say with a glare, she's my enemy and I just don't like her. I think it's the snobby face to be honest, she looks like she's looking down on me even with her naked and shivering in a cold cell.

"I... I choose enslavement." she says after a moment making me smirk, yeah I thought as much, self-preservation is a bitch.

Creating a contract I smirk as I pass it to her, letting her read it over. It is completely in my favour, the terms are simple, she obeys my every order and never attempts to betray me or hurt my interests or property and in exchange she gets to live...

Taking the quill reluctantly she signs herself into magical servitude.

-20 Affection with Clarrisa [-70/100] for enslaving her

+100 Obedience with Clarrisa [100/100] because she just doesn't have a choice any more

"Excellent, was that so hard?" I ask in amusement, removing her chains, as she takes a deep breath and stretches.

"Yes it was... I've dedicated my life to fighting evil... to slaying the Overlord, do you think it was a small thing to join the very evil I swore to destroy?" she asks in anger.

"What did I ever do to you?" I ask with a sigh.

"You? Nothing, your predecessor however did much, my family slaughtered... my home destroyed." she says with a sigh. "But he died before I was ready to fight him, the 'Heroes' saw to that. So I swore to make sure no one could replace him."

"...would now be a good time to mention that the Second Overlord is still alive? He possessed the Wizard and corrupted the Heroes after his 'defeat'. After I killed the Wizard he fled in spirit form, he's... somewhere in the Empire over the mountains, I believe. I'm planning on eliminating him once I've finished securing my position here." I say as she looks up in shock.

"But... the Wizard was the one who..." she trails off as I sigh.

"Of course he did... that man is a constant thorn in my side. Congratulations, you managed to become a puppet for the guy you were supposed to be fighting. If it makes you feel any better I'll be destroying his soul once I manage to find who's body he is hiding in this time." I say in amusement... seriously if he wasn't targetting me I'd be impressed at the Second Overlord's ability to meddle and manipulate.

"I... please! Let me help! I don't care what you do to me... but please, when you go after him, take me with you!" she begs quickly as I sigh.

"You realise I swatted you like a fly? You're weak... fine, I'm assigning you to join Inferna's squad, if you get strong enough by the time I'm ready to start a war with the empire then I will bring you along, if not I'll leave you behind." I say with a shrug. If she fails then so be it, she can join Team Inferna in their massacre of the Arena, it's proven a good source of gold after all, and they are slowly levelling as well. "Come on, I need to assign you a actual room instead of a cell..."

Leading her out of the prison I briefly stop by Inferna's room to introduce them before I take her to the room the Game has already added for her.

"I... thank you, Sir." she says looking around the room, far nicer than she expected... "It'll be nice to have clothes again..."

"Don't get dressed just yet... I've wanted to do this for a while..." I say with a smirk as she sighs, placing my hands on her shoulders I push her to her knees.

"I can't say I didn't see this coming..." she mutters as I undo my trousers, pulling my dick out and rubbing it over her face.

I've wanted to fuck that snobby look off her face since I first saw her.

"I'm sure you did, now open up." I say rubbing the tip against her lips as she reluctantly opens her mouth, allowing my shaft to sink into the warm depths. She looks annoyed as I feed inch after inch of my hard dick into her mouth, but she doesn't resist, or to be more precise she can't resist.

Hitting the back of her throat I keep pushing, my shaft sliding down her tight throat as I grip her hair with both hands pulling her further down my shaft until her lips are pressing against the base.

Pulling back after a moment I start thrusting fast, pounding her face as she drools around my dick, her eyes closed as I roughly fuck her mouth, giving her no mercy.

There's something that just feels right about degrading the posh snobby noble types... I'll have to try this with a Queen or a Princess...

Wait, I know exactly which princess I want to do this to... Malty, the bitch from Shield Hero. Maybe her milf of a mother as well.

Gods I hated that bitch... if anyone deserves to be degraded it's her.

Focusing on what's happening I go back to fucking Clarissa's face, I can think about future girls later on.

I don't want to spend to long here, so I don't resist as my climax approaches after a few minutes of harsh thrusting, at the final moment I pull back, releasing my seed onto her face as she quickly closes her mouth and shuts her eyes.

Looking down at her cum-stained face and hair I smirk.

"That look suits you better... that'll be all for now." I say putting my dick away as I leave the room, her not responding to my words.

And that's the end of the Shining Justice, Cedric is dead, Sparkles is in my Stables, and Clarissa is covered in cum. I think it's safe to say I won this little war.

Speaking of winning...

- Kuro (True Form) -

I've put this off long enough...

"My Lord... can I ask a favour?" Fay asks quickly as I turn to her, she's come along with me to see Evernight Forest, and I brought Skarlet along as well... Fay is strong enough that I don't mind bringing her with me despite her Mistress status.

"You may, I might not agree but you can ask." I say watching Skarlet rip apart the monsters with ease.

"I wish to speak with Oberon, to find out why he would betray all that he stood for..." she says hesitantly as I pause.

"He betrayed everything because the Second Overlord corrupted him and made him Slothful, so much so that he couldn't bring himself to care about anything, even his peoples destruction." I explain. "He's good at that, honestly it seems like everyone who I fight has been manipulated into it by that asshole."

"Is he not dead? I heard of his defeat by the Heroes years ago..."

"Nah he can jump bodies, he was hiding as the Wizard but I destroyed that body, I'm pretty sure he's hiding in the Empire somewhere... I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who destroyed your sanctuaries, seems like a Overlord thing to do... I need to destroy all the pieces of his soul he hid within the heroes to corrupt them before I can kill him properly."

"...I see, it would explain the sudden competence of the Empires Forces. It is nice to have an explanation. Would removing the soul piece undo the corruption from Oberon?" she asks after a moment.

"Maybe? I removed the piece from Jewel and she's still a thief, but then she was always a thief so that's a bad example. Could be interesting to test... I take it you want him sparing?" I ask making her flinch slightly.

"I do, he was a great hero to the elven people once upon a time, and with the sad state of the elves it would be a great moral boost to have him back." she says hesitantly.

"Understood, I'll spare him if he gives me the option." I say easily.

"Wait... just like that?" she says in shock.

"You're my Mistress, and I have no reason to not listen to you. Oberon has done nothing to me, in fact I've been using him as a buffer to keep the Dwarves at bay, I suspect we will have to fight him at first, if only to weaken him so I can rip the shard from him, but afterwards I will spare him if you can convince him to stand down." I say as we approach the clearing. "Also, he's kinda a tree person at the moment, do you have a way to deal with that?"

"I can purify his body easily enough, I at least have the power to do that much... Light Magic is better for healing and curing than Dark after all." she says as we enter the clearing, staring up at Oberon from his spot in the tree. "I see, he really is part tree. How odd..."

"So I can't kill him? Tch." Skarlet says as she approaches.

"Don't worry your sexy little ass... they'll be plenty of blood for you in the future." I say getting a sultry smirk from her, promises of bloodshed turns her on apparently...

As we approach him he finally wakes up, stretching as the tree itself stretches with him, its roots creaking as they pull themselves from the ground.

"Once I deserted my people, my forest, and I have been punished... I will not desert them again!" he roars as a giant root bursts from the ground making me jump back.

"You've already failed them 'Hero', you failed them when you let Goldo put them in chains, you have no right to stop me." I say with a sneer as I send a fireball at him, making him roar in anger.

His pain calls the monsters forwards, giant frogs bursting from the ground and hopping towards us, their mistake... the other monsters didn't have blood and Skarlet is thirsty...

Pulling out my own surprise I summon all the enslaved monsters I've taken control of in my multiple visits to this place, the clearing being swarmed by the rats, stags and boar undead.

Haha fuck you, your monsters are mine now.

They get trashed by the roots, but I don't care about that, they are just trash monsters I grabbed for free after all. Even as the roots smash them apart the Rats pepper him with arrows, and the Boars charge the frogs smashing them with their clubs.

As a dozen roots rush towards me I prepare to block them before a white shield appears in front of me blocking them and knocking them back, giving Fay a thankful nod I rush forwards towards Oberon, I need to be close to grab the soul piece.

But first I need him to be still and not resisting... so I'll just beat his ass with a mace for a bit until he's nice and unresisting. He swings his deformed hands at me but I time my shields carefully, casting Sanctuary each time he hits me.

He however has no such spell, so the Power Strikes to the face with my Durium Mace deal some wonderful damage.

His pain draws more and more monsters, but Skarlet is in a blood rage and Fay seems to be taking the corrupted creatures personally, blasting them with Light with a disgusted look on her face.

"Enough! End my torment!" he roars at me making me smirk.

The monsters are quickly eliminated with their being no more reinforcements.

"That's it? You're just going to lay down and die?" Fay asks approaching us.

"I have failed, the least I can do is repent with my death." he says in depression.

"Coward." I mutter as I rip the soul piece from him, stuffing it in a soul flask.

"I do not fear my end, Overlord." he says back making me laugh.

"But you're still a coward. Repent with your death? All your doing is running away from your failures like the coward you are. You slept through your people being slaughtered, and now you just want to die and leave them enslaved be Goldo? How is that anything but cowardice?" I sneer as I walk away from him. I got what I came for, one more and that bastard won't have any other phylacteries.

Of course I need to find something to do with them, I feel like just eating them all would be a waste, I'm hoping to find a way to track or hurt him using his own soul pieces.

"What can I do?!" he shouts, pulling himself from the tree with a roar as I grab my mace again, ready to finish him.

"I'm going to save your people, you've lost the right to rule, Oberon. That right is now mine, I will offer you this once, and only once. Join me, get off your lazy ass for once and help me free your people from their chains." I offer making him pause.

"So they can be put in your own chains?" he says with a glare.

"No, he has taken in the survivors of the Empires purge, despite his reputation he treats us kinder than any of you so-called Heroes treat your own people." Fay says in my defence.

"I... Swear you will treat my people fairly." he says glaring down at me, he towers over me but I'm hardly intimidated.

"I'll treat them better than you or Goldo ever managed." I say with a scoff meeting his glare as he backs down.

"I will follow, if only to ensure you keep your word." he says reluctantly.

"Fay, he's your problem. He can stay in the elven village, heal him and get him ready, I'll be heading for Goldo sooner, rather than later." I say ignoring the giant tree-elf.

"I will, My Lord, it shouldn't take long to undo the mutations the corruption has left on his body." she says as I smirk, another Hero down...

Goldo is all that stands between me and complete control of this side of the world.

- Rose Woodward -

Listening to the happy villagers was just too much for her.

They were celebrating... Celebrating! Her father was trapped in a cage, left to slowly starve to death... and they were celebrating?!

Some had even taken to throwing rotten food at him. Couldn't they see that he hadn't done anything wrong? But Archie's words about how he had put the entire village in danger had gotten through to everyone, and now her father was the most hated guy in the village...

The Cages had a constant Guard watching them, but they were just there to stop people from helping him, they didn't care about him being humiliated.

Even her mother thought he was in the wrong... with her father imprisoned they were getting even smaller rations... she used to mock Harriet for whoring herself out for food... but with Harriet gone the position of town whore was open again... and she'd seen how some of the village men looked at her and her mother. Her father wasn't even dead yet and already people were circling them like scavengers... being the wife and daughter of the 'idiot who almost got them all killed' wasn't exactly leaving people feeling charitable.

It just wasn't fair...

But she'd heard whispers of people resisting the Overlord, clearly she wasn't alone in realising how cruel the bastard sat in his tower was!

So she'd gone looking for them, she'd seen some men looting the food stores and fleeing into a nearby forest so she knew where they were... so she'd decided to join them, sure she'd heard bad things about them, but it was the guards calling them bandit scum, and the guards are the Overlord's women... they were just giving them a bad reputation since they were opposing their precious leader.

She quickly realised that they were called bandit scum because they were bandit scum...

The cold forest air brushed against her bare skin as she carried the dirty plate with a slightly burnt hunk of meat over to the leader of the bandits, wincing as one of the unwashed men took the chance to slap her naked ass as she passed him.

She'd been captured and stripped immediately, it was only the fact that the leader had 'claimed' her that had stopped her from being defiled by every man in the camp, around twenty from what she'd seen, all dirty brutish men who looked like they hadn't seen water in weeks.

The leader gave her a simple choice, she could either stay as his pet, stay as the camp whore, or die. They couldn't risk her escaping and bringing the Overlord's people down on them.

She was terrified of death, and as the camp full of horny men stared at her naked body she chose to be a pet.

Some of the men had complained, and the giant of a man they called their leader had killed them immediately, smashing their skulls open like rotten pumpkins with a single swing of his brutal mace. The same mace that was resting next to his wooden throne with dried blood and brain matter still covering it.

"Y-your f-food..." she stuttered getting the mans attention as he drank a bottle of his stolen ale, watching some of the other bandits fight in amusement.

Snatching the plate away he put it on the arm of his 'throne', reaching forwards he pushed her to her knees, making her heart drop as his hand went to the belt of the leather trousers he wore, undoing his belt.

She knew better than to try and fight or run, she'd tried escaping once and she'd been captured before she'd even escaped the camp itself. The leader had made it clear that if she tried again she would lose his protection... and then the rest of the camp could have her. And she was well aware that they were all watching her, waiting for her to try. It was only the fear of the beast of a man the worked for that kept them away from her...

She was a dumb, dumb girl... and she'd never realised just what laid in wait on the other side of Sprees nice safe walls before... she'd glared at the stone walls and the towers the Overlord added, seeing them and the troops as the prison and wardens keeping them enslaved...

As the unwashed shaft was pushed against her reluctantly opening lips she realised how stupid she had been... she wanted to be on the inside of those walls again, she could understand why the rest of the village were so happy to be inside the tall walls now...

Licking at the disgusting tower of meat as it entered her mouth she looked up, seeing the leader already watching the fight again, his meat in one hand as the other forced her head down.

She tried to distract herself from reality, the foul taste making her want to vomit as her head was forced down till her lips touched the hairy base of his shaft, her eyes rolling back in her skull as she tried to breath around the dick invading her throat.

She could hear someone mocking her, one of the other bandits no doubt, but she couldn't focus on what they were saying as she zoned out, her head following the guiding movement of the hand until she brought the man to his climax, a flood of sickening seed rushing down her throat as she desperately swallowed, she'd been warned about wasting her 'meal'. If she spilled any she wouldn't be given any real food, being forced to live of a diet of cum.

Moving back as she breathed heavily trying to recover her breath as she looked at the leader, who was still ignoring her to watch the fight.

Looking herself she had to hold in her sick as she watched the man holding the severed head of his foe as the camp cheered...

"Heh, Fatality." the leader mumbled with a smirk before he tossed his empty plate of to the side, grabbing her as he dragged her to his tent.

As they entered he forced her into the dog cage, locking her in it as she was forced to stay on her hands and knees in the entirely too small cage, apparently the camp used to have a dog but it barked too much so they ate it...

She could see him getting into his larger bed, she was just happy he wasn't making her stay in his bed... he'd made it clear that he'd be fucking her soon, but she wanted to put it off as long as possible...

She already missed Spree,she missed her family, she missed the small rations of food that wasn't covered in cum, she even missed the strict no-nonsense guards that patrolled the village ruthlessly crushing any and all crime.

She just wanted to go home.

- Molly Woodward -

"As I have said, we are tasked with the Protection of Spree, we cannot abandon our posts to track down a girl who left of her own free will. The guards in the Watch Tower saw her sneak out, if she had been kidnapped then we would track her down, she was not." the guard said in annoyance.

"You can't just leave her out there... you said it yourself that there are bandits out there! Not to mention the wild beasts and monsters! Surely you can spare a couple of guards to track her down, please I can't lose her as well!" she begged.

"I cannot, only Lord Spree, a position that is currently unfilled, and the Overlord can reassign us, but we are bound to follow our orders, I physically cannot leave without cause." she explained.

She tried again, but she met the same answer from all the guards she spoke to.

Her idiot daughter had snuck off into the woods... and she knew exactly why. Rose asked about the bandits in the woods, and she had answered telling her what the guards had told her, that there were some criminal scum hiding somewhere nearby, and the fool girl had gone looking for them. She'd spent too long listening to her idiot fathers rants about the 'evils of the Overlord' and she'd run off to join the bandits with delusional dreams of rebelling.

She knew exactly what a group of criminals would do to a pretty teenaged girl.

But no one would help her... the Guards apparently couldn't leave without the Overlord's permission, and the rest of the village wouldn't go into dangerous territory for a single girl.

...She needed help, and as far as she could tell there was only one person with the authority and power to help her. She just hoped she could convince him before it was too late.

- Kuro -

As I 'went to sleep' I stop possessing the 'Bandit Leader', after building a bandit camp I spawned some bandits and picked the toughest looking one to be my flesh suit.

I've crushed his mind with my Evil Presence, he'll act like I acted while I'm not possessing him, he won't be alive for long anyway, soon I'll 'save the day' as my men swarm the camp and slaughter the bandits, rescuing the traumatised girl.

I've made my guards manipulate the mother into begging me for help, in which case I will be the 'Hero' when I help the family of the criminal that wronged me.

Thank you dumb girl, whoever you are, for being so easily manipulated...

Calling in the person knocking at my door I pause as I watch Skarlet saunter in to my room, her hips swaying enticingly.

"Is there something I can do for you Skarlet?" I ask from my bed, I was about to go to sleep.

"All the fighting made me horny... either you're fucking me, or I'm fucking you..." she says quickly stripping her bodysuit off quickly.

Didn't see this coming. Still, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the eye.

Unequipping my night clothes I pull the quilt off me as she pounces at me, kissing me roughly as her sharp nails dig into my chest, leaving a small scratch as a trickle of blood rolls down my chest.

As she mounts me, taking my hard shaft to the hilt in one move, she breaks the kiss, licking the blood of my chest, as she does I feel her already wet pussy clench down in a mini-orgasm.

"...You heal too quickly." she mutters looking at the already closed cut in disappointment.

Flipping us over I distract her from trying to get more blood as I pound her against the bed, her legs locked behind me back as she bites down on my shoulder hard, still trying for more blood as she breaks the skin, I know she isn't an actual vampire, but as she sucks the blood from my shoulder it's hard to remember that.

Grabbing her hands I hold them above her head as I speed up, taking her hard enough to shake the bed, it isn't enough to pull her away from her obsessive quest for more of my blood.

I don't really care, the pain is minimal enough and I heal incredibly fast anyway. Each time she swallows some more of my blood she cums again, so she's been tightening down on me over and over again and little pain isn't enough to detract from the pleasure... better not tell Akeno that... there's a difference between some scratching and biting and Akeno's whips and chains.

After a moment she pulls back, licking the remnants of her lips as she glares up at me.

"Harder, I'm not one of your weak human girls, fuck me hard enough to break the bed, you bastard." she growls as I move one of my hands to her throat, my other holding both her arms above her head as I choke her, speeding up my thrusts... she asked for it, and I'll give it to her.

Casting my usual Eromancer spells finally makes her moan loudly, she struggles against my grip so I cast Drain Strength, this wouldn't work in a fight, but this isn't a real fight so her strength leaves her immediately, leaving her unable to break free from my grasp as I thrust into her

Pulling out for the briefest moment, I spin her around and thrust back into her in one move, stuffing her drenched pussy quickly as I rail her against the bed.

"Harder! Stop holding back you pussy! Ruin me!" she shouts even as my dick hits the entrance of her womb...

Well, if that's what she wants.

Pulling out entirely, I cast lubricate and press my shaft against her sphincter as I spread her pale ass cheeks, making her gasp, changing to a loud scream as I slam my shaft into her bowels, reshaping her insides.

Casting Imbue Stretchiness I take her advice, using my full inhuman strength as I saw into her, she stops talking as I fuck her, all that leaves her mouth is moans and screams.

"Is that hard enough? Or should I go further?" I taunt, spanking her pale ass making it slowly turn red.

"H-harder!" she says, between moans making me pause.

Bitch Breaker it is.

She lets out a strangled scream into the bed sheets as my shaft goes from big to ludicrous, her ass being stretched unnaturally wide as I rail into her mercilessly.

As I take her ass I spank her relentlessly, her formerly pale ass glowing red as I roughly grope it, making her moan. I'm starting to think she might be a masochist.

To test this theory, I reach forwards grabbing her long ponytail as I roughly yank it back, to my great lack of surprise she moans loudly as I do, yeah she's a masochist.

She's pushing her ass back in time with my thrusts, tightening her ass down on my invading shaft as I fuck her.

She was already tight before I used Bitch Breaker, but now it's almost painfully tight, I won't last long like this... which is fine since she'd already orgasmed a few times.

Speeding up again, I feel my climax approaching.

Hmm, inside or outside?

I don't really want to pull out, so inside it is.

Slamming myself into her to the hilt I let myself cum, painting her bowels white with my seed.

So, crazy blood thirsty assassin who is also a kinky masochist?

Nice.

Well, time for round two.

Flipping her again, I smirk at how unresponsive she is.

I get a reaction as I slam myself into her pussy, making her let out a strangled scream as her legs immediately wrap around my waist.

She's fun.

- Next Morning -

Skarlet isn't one for cuddling.

After she recovered from the harsh fucking she simply got up, got dressed and left without a word. I did get some affection so I know she enjoyed it, but I guess she likes to keep people at arms length.

That's fine, meaningless sex isn't bad at all. And she'll come around eventually.

Today I have some free time while I wait for Oberon to be healed and made into a Elf again, instead of a weird tree elf.

So I've decided to play around with my other races, Nekoshou to be specific... my senses are still fairly dull, better than they used to be, but still not quite right. I'm hoping this will be the way to fix it.

So I switch my race to Nekoshou, feeling a pair of ears pop up on my head as a pair of tails sneak out of my pyjama bottoms.

[Enhanced Senses] (Passive)

Greatly enhances the senses of the user, increasing the touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste senses. Improves along with the Nekoshou class level

[Sense Ki] (Passive)

Allows the user to sense the Ki in all living things, the range increases with the Nekoshou Class Level

[Racial Trait: Heat] (Passive)

The user will occasionally go into heat, gaining increased virility, fertility and a deep desire to breed. Can be triggered by time or other factors.

The Heat could be mildly annoying... but do I care?

Absolutely fucking not. The world suddenly feels so... alive? I can smell the traces of my time with Skarlet, I can hear people moving around on the floor below me, I can even taste Skarlet even the morning after, running my hand over the silk quilts I admire the feeling of them beneath my fingers with a grin.

I have silk because I like the look, I couldn't tell the difference in touch before... everything even seems sharper and more defined now. I head to my balcony, looking over the forests with new eye... I never cared about the view my tower offered before, but it looks amazing.

Like I've been watching things in 360p before and have finally moved up to 1080p... I can even see the individual birds in the trees from here, only faintly though, once I get this class maxed will I move up to 4k? I spend some time admiring the view with a grin, I can pick out the Elven Village from here, I even spot Tilda hunting a stag through a gap in the trees, she starts early, the suns only been up for a hour or two and she's already carrying a pair of rabbits attached to her hip.

Heading out of my room I admire how... flexible and agile I feel, it doesn't say anything about it in the racial traits or skills but I've always believed that different races get more from different stats, in this case I feel like I'm getting a lot from my DEX stat.

Which is already decently high, sitting at a modest 306. Not great by any means, but it's certainly better than most peoples. I realise that I'll need to learn some martial arts based skills to make full use of Nekoshou, maybe take up the Martial Artist class after I finish Warrior, because if I can learn to use Touki then I'm going to have a lot of fun, being a unarmed assassin type could be great, and it'd get people who don't know me to lower their guard not realising that I am a mage. Meaning I can subtly use magic to fuck with people.

Focusing for a moment I can feel the Life Force in each person in the Tower, from Gnarl's corrupted and warped Ki, to Celestine's pure Ki.

As I move to the stairs I try out my new flexibility, flipping onto my hands as I easily walk on my hands, I have some generic Acrobatics knowledge from my thief class, but I couldn't have done this in my Lich form.

Oddly enough I still have the Phylactery effect that means I would regenerate after my 'death'... I suppose it's not so easy to stick a soul back inside my body after all.

Flipping back over I take a running leap down the stairs, doing a front flip as I land on my feet easily.

As I move I hear footsteps heading my way, Rias's musical voice calling out for Koneko as the footsteps approach closer.

"Koneko! Why are you... Kuro? You look... different." Rias says as she catches up with Koneko, who is staring at me intently, her ears and tail out in the open.

"Long story short, I can change races and I worked out how to become a Nekoshou... what do you think?" I ask with a spin.

I don't need her to answer, I can smell her approval from here as she stares in shock.

Otakus like Cat-girls, and female Otakus are no exception, Rias's barely hidden Otaku side like the whole cat-boy look I have going on, a lot from the arousal I can smell.

"You look great, I'm pretty sure that's impossible by the way... but when has that stopped you?" she says with a giggle as I turn to Koneko, seeing her still locked onto me with an intense look.

"Earth to Koneko... you okay there kitty?" I ask in amusement, before she leaps into action, quite literally.

"...Nya!" she shouts, as she pounces at me knocking me to the floor.

"Koneko?! What do you think you are... Oh..." Rias trails off as Koneko tears my silk top from my chest.

"Err... I think she's in heat..." I say smelling Koneko's own sudden arousal as she licks and nibbles on my chest. "Rias? What should I do?" I ask with mixed feelings, I don't want to ruin my relationship with either by fucking Koneko when she isn't in the right mind but she's also practically tearing her own clothes off and I like what I'm seeing...

"...Let's get her back to my room, push her off and run to my room, she'll chase you I think." Rias advises as I flip us over, jumping off her, just a bit too slow to save my silk bottoms as she shreds them and my boxers.

As I jump back she moves onto all fours, her eyes locked onto my exposed shaft as I start running, hearing her chasing me.

Glancing back I can see her gaining on me, her golden eyes locked onto me as Rias attempts to keep up, gathering the clothing Koneko is quickly shedding.

Running past Sona I wave at her as I zoom past, jumping into Rias's room just as Koneko pounces at me again, sending us tumbling to the ground as she tries to pin me.

I am far, far stronger. I could break free but I don't want to hurt her.

Rias catches up as Koneko rubs herself against me, grinding her small wet pussy along my hardened shaft, I'm making sure she can't insert it much to her annoyance.

"Rias? You have a plan for this, because she isn't stopping..." I say grabbing Koneko's skinny hips as I try and hold her in place.

"No, she's never done this before but I've sent my familiar for some help..." she says quickly as the door opens again, Yasaka strolling in as she takes the scene in with a raised eye-brow.

"Rias, can you give us some privacy, your Rook will be fine, but there shouldn't be an audience for this..." she says easily as Rias hesitates, before she leaves, her worry obvious.

"So, you have a plan for this? Cause she's getting closer to inserting it." I say as she sits on the bed calmly dropping her kimono, Koneko hisses at her, but a glare from Yasaka freezes her as the Kitsunes tails all sway menacingly. Even subconsciously Koneko knows she can't match the Kyuubi.

"You're letting her control you, if you don't turn the tables she isn't going to stop, you need to make sure she knows that you're in charge here. Throw her off you and force her onto her hands and knees, you don't have to hold back or enter her, just pin her to the ground, you're the alpha not her..." she says as I take a breath, pushing Koneko away with my full force, she flies back but she easily rights herself, landing on all fours as she pounces again...

Getting up myself I wrestle with her, it's difficult since she's far better at hand-to-hand than me even in her almost feral state. She's faster and more agile than me as she dances around me, scratching me as my own hits miss her. I'm bigger and stronger, but that doesn't help with her speed...

Moving back I lure her into pouncing again, as she does I wait till she is within arms reach and grab her, slamming her into the ground as she lets out a cry in anger, before she can rise I flip her over, placing a hand on the back of her head as I force her face into the floor, my body covering hers as my hard shaft settle between her legs, brushing against her inner thighs.

She struggles but her skill lies in speed and agility, not pure brute force... I'm just glad she isn't using her sacred gear, in a real fight she'd just blow me up.

"Spank her, she needs to learn her place." Yasaka advises, making me pause before I bring my hand down on her tight pale ass, making her yelp.

Despite my misgivings I do notice that Koneko's struggles lessen slightly, so I do it some more, switching cheeks as I spank her ass till it glows red, after a few minutes of harsh spanks Koneko stops trying to break free completely.

"Okay, now what?" I ask as Koneko grinds her undercarriage against my shaft, her thighs tightening around it as she moves back and forth, I'm stopping her from going far enough for my shaft to slip out, and into her.

"If Koneko was a bit older I'd say Breed her, but she's too young for that. Move back slowly, and come sit next to me..." she says as I follow her advice, making Koneko whimper in disappointment, she doesn't try pouncing me again as I sit next to Yasaka who immediately takes my shaft into her hand, gently stroking it.

"Come here." she orders making Koneko jump to obey, rushing forwards before Yasaka stops her, forcing her to her knees in front of me, Koneko leans forwards, rubbing her cheek against my shaft as Yasaka lets it go. "She might not be ready for a proper Breeding, but she can still do this much..." Yasaka says dropping down beside Koneko as she takes my shaft into her hand, aiming it at Koneko's face as she guides her head down at the same time, Koneko happily opening her mouth as my shaft disappears between her pouty lips.

Yasaka chitters happily as Koneko laps at my shaft with a mewling moan.

"That's it, she wants your seed... give it to her..." she says guiding Koneko's head deeper as she moves her hand down to my balls, skillfully fondling them with her dexterous fingers.

I can feel Koneko's tongue going into overdrive as it writhes against my shaft, her mouth a vacuum as she fanatically sucks the shaft, she's taken it as far as she can, she's too inexperienced to move straight to deepthroating but her hands cover what her mouth cannot, quickly stroking the parts of the dick that don't fit into her mouth.

My sense of touch is far better now... and I can feel everything... every small callous on her hand, every bump on her tongue as it swirls around my shaft...

It will take a while to get used to this... and as I look into the beautiful golden eyes staring up at me, the feelings become just too much, reaching my climax as I watch Koneko's cheeks bulge like a overstuffed squirrels as my cum fills her mouth.

She swallows as much as she can, but it's a large load and it eventually becomes too much for her, leaking out from around my shaft... Yasaka immediately licks the escaping seed up with a grin.

As Koneko moves back I watch her slowly regain her senses as she looks up at me.

"...Kuro, Ecchi." she says rising staring at me.

"Koneko, Ecchi." I say back making her blush. Despite her words she licks her lips, gathering what little Yasaka missed with a blush.

"...Ecchi isn't bad." she says looking me over before she walks out of the room without another word.

"There we go... See, it was all fine." Yasaka says as she climbs into my lap.

"Yeah, thanks for the help."

"It was no problem... do you realise what your new form represents Kuro?" she asks looking at me with an emotion I can't quite place.

"No, I just thought it'd be fun." I say with a shrug making her chitter.

"You are now the last True Nekoshou... not a devil who was a Nekoshou, a true real Nekoshou... you represent the hope for the Nekoshou race to avoid extinction. Would you be opposed to breeding a lot of female Youkais when we get back to our world? There's an army of Nekomata woman who wouldn't mind being impregnated by such a Alpha Nekoshou... Maybe some human girls who work for me as well. I want the Nekoshou race to truly recover, and the best, and only real hope for that... don't worry, you won't have to look after the children yourself, you can have as much or as little interaction with them as you wish..." she says making me pause.

"Ehh, sure why not?" I say as she giggles again.

"So laid back... but that's for later... the little taste I stole from you isn't enough to satisfy me... I do hope Rias doesn't need this room back any time soon..." she says with a sultry grin.

Oh dear...

- Nymria -

The Horny Goddess had been distracted! Freedom!

Escaping their bonds she and her daughter fled the room, while she sent a message to all her daughters.

Yasaka might be able to beat a pair of Succubi... but could she handle an army of them?! She'd return with an army of horny Succubi, and then they would overwhelm her with sheer numbers! The pride of the Succubi race was at stake!

She couldn't quite remember her time with Kuro... she was smaller? And then there was a giant shaft inside her? Or maybe two shafts? She kinda passed out and when she woke she was covered in cum with no idea what had happened. But surely even he couldn't challenge the beast...

She would honour her masters sacrifice as he bought her the time to get her reinforcements, he would be remembered when the dehydration took him.

- Kuro (Second Form) -

So, I've realised something...

I can go to the next world in this form, I tested that when I went back to DxD in this form to get Shuri's Ashes. at the very least I can see what world it is.

The game said My Hero Academia was third, this world was next and which just leaves the next one unknown.

So I can take a small scouting trip, check things out, work out what I will need for it, and if I'm not ready I can jump back or just cancel my Multiform skill. Sure, I only have a third of my normal stats, but this is just scouting so I'm not planning on fighting anyone.

So while my true form fights a losing battle versus Yasaka I use Dimensional Jump, heading to the next world.

Welcome to Highschool of the Dead!

+500 Credits for moving to another world.

A Necromancer in a Zombie Apocalypse? It's not like the game to be this nice...

Please Select a Timeline.

Pre Z-Day

Start three days before the infection starts to spread.

Z-Day

Start during Z-Day, as the infection starts to spread.

Post Z-Day

Start one week after the infection spreads.

Pre Z-Day, it gives me time to prepare for the apocalypse. Not a lot of time, but still it gives me some time.

Please Select a Origin.

The All-Rounder

You're the every-man, the glue of the group. What you lack in specific skills, you make up for in charisma and leadership. Before Z-day, you were just an easy-going soul. After, you stepped up. Maybe it's finally a chance to cut loose, or maybe you're just the kind of person who shows their best in a crisis.

Roll 1d4+14 for your starting age.

The Otaku

Unflattering as your hobbies may have been before Z-day, now you're indispensable. In the largely civilized world of Japan, marksmanship, wilderness survival and any number of eccentric interests were seen as socially self-destructive. Now, people count on your knowledge and expertise to survive.

Roll 1d4 +14 for your starting age.

The Genius

What you lack in brawns and real-world experience, you make up for in razor-sharp brilliance. Your guesses are often good as most people's hard-confirmed facts, and while you might let your big brain get in the way of common sense, you are still a valuable member of the team.

Roll 1d4+14 for your starting age.

The Fighter

National championships, martial arts exhibitions, the perfection of lost arts. All of these are your claims to fame. You've excelled at the physical skills, becoming a cultural icon. You more than likely know one or more classical combat styles, and could teach them to others .You probably would, after Z-day.

Roll 1d4+14 for your starting age.

The Teacher

You're the closest thing to an adult, surrounded by hormonal teenagers in the middle of an apocalypse. By hook or crook you're going to do the best you can by everyone you're near, because the alternative is too horrifying to think about.

Roll 1d8+19 for your starting age.

The Soldier

Perhaps you're surviving law enforcement, a foreign national on vacation in Japan, or just someone with an extensive (and possibly illegal) cache of real weapons. Regardless, you are a proper professional soldier, and it shows in everything you do.

Roll 1d8+19 for your starting age.

The Expert (Drop-in)

You have no supplemental identity, no extra memories, and nothing but the gear on hand

The Expert seems like the simplest choice, but I wouldn't mind another... unlike Overlord it's unlikely to come with some major flaws, The Soldier is interesting since it sounds like t comes with the knowledge to use guns, something I don't have and will probably need.

Still, switching back to my younger form from DxD I pick Expert, no new memories for me this time. Having no identification shouldn't be a problem for a single week, in My Hero Academia it would be a problem so I will have to take a background, but here the world is going to shit in a week so I won't need to hide my lack of identification for long.

Please select your Perks.

100 Credits - Handy At Hand (Free with All-Rounder)

You have an uncommon trait- the knack for improvising solutions to problems like securing yourself against hordes of Them, or even more intelligent foes. This improvisation takes the form of fashioning barricades out of whatever is to hand, quickly identifying safe escape routes, and utilizing your surroundings to the fullest extent. If there's say, a fire-hose to use, you will find it, and you can use it to knock back a horde, lift a concrete block, or any other number of ingenious uses.

200 Credits - Forged in Fire (Discount All-Rounder)

Whatever it is, you have it. Sure you look nice, but more importantly, you've got the charm that people become infatuated with you quickly, manifesting as endearing crushes or the sparks of a great bromance. People are likely to join your side for emotional, intrapersonal reasons. These reasons are honest and good ones though, ignoring the negative effects of catastrophic situations on people. These initial bonds can easily be strengthened into true friendship, camaraderie, or even romance. This effect is magnified in high-stress situations, creating links of loyalty and affection that can weather all kinds of issues, including intrapersonal ones!

400 Credits - Madness Manager (Discount All-Rounder)

You're the glue keeping everyone together, and it shows. This perk helps you maintain your calm, in direct proportion to how upset or off-kilter the people around you are. In a full-scale riot, you are the one sane man with a plan. If your friend is suffering an intense emotional break, you are the ideal shoulder to cry on. This quality of yours does not prevent other your allies from emoting or having issues, but it ensures that they function at peak levels despite freaking out. When tensions run high, this skill ensures that your friends and allies come out feeling better and stronger for it.

600 Credits - Sign Language (Discount All-Rounder)

Sign Language is a complicated thing to master, requiring the understanding of the positioning of ten digits spread across two hands- which is then further complicated by those things moving and all passing by rapidly. Thankfully, your understanding of sign language is perfect. You now have perfect comprehension of any sign language, gestures, or even charades like actions. Your own signing (even non-standard or made up on the spot), gestures, or charades will be perfectly understood by anyone you desire- those you don't specify will have to puzzle through your silent communication on their own. If you use the 'always understood' effect of this ability, it counts as an instant teaching effect. Running through a series of signs for a group will instantly see them capable of understanding each other using it, and they too will be able to (perhaps clumsily, at first) use it to communicate. The Otaku

100 Credits - Hobbyist (Free with Otaku)

Pick a hobby. Any hobby. And by hobby I mean 'any recreational activity with potential survival applications'. You're now an expert, potentially capable of writing a PhD on the subject- hiking would be a complete knowledge of wilderness survival, hours at the shooting range would be competency handling all modern firearms, and a car enthusiast would be capable of stripping and rebuilding a car in addition to improvising parts and repairs.

200 Credits - Dark Visage (Discount Otaku)

You might be a little bit crazy, but that's okay. You're the kind of crazy everyone needs right now. This perk allows you to give the impression of unassuming niceness, or create an aura of absolute, impending carnage. You do in fact have a plan to kill everyone you meet, but it's a theoretical exercise at best. What this actually means, is that you can intimidate someone into not questioning a plan of action, and then immediately remind everyone that you really are perfectly nice and civil with a guileless smile and a bit of politeness.

400 Credits - Mozambique Drill (Discount Otaku)

Also known as the 'Double Tap', you've mastered the art of the confirmed kill. As a base benefit, you immediately know if any damage you have inflicted on a target is enough to kill or destroy it- this includes inanimate structures for things like non-precision demolition and the like. This among other things means you save a lot of ammo or effort. The main benefit, however, is that you have increasing accuracy on a second and third attack, after the first one lands successfully. Two in the chest guarantees your third shot will hit the head, for example, with speed and dexterity to spare. Additionally, the third attack in any chain of three happens a fraction of a second after the second, even if placed on a separate target, and you do not suffer any recovery delay. You must facing be hostile targets for this skill to work- you can't shoot a sign twice and then score a head-shot. You are also only accurate within the effective ranges of your weapon or attack method as well. All benefits of this this aside from the damage-sense are limited to the second and third actions taken in sequence.

600 Credits - The Occasion (Discount Otaku)

This is it. This is your time. You might not have waited for it, never even desired for it, but you are finally coming into your own… When put on the spot, other people would break down, shy away. Because of this perk, your competence and confidence is proportionally improved when people look to you for an answer, or require a response. The more serious, dangerous, emotionally or physically taxing the situation is, the more you'll bring to the table. Everyday challenges provide modest boosts, putting yourself head and shoulders amongst urbane peers. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities or million-to-one-shots bolster your poise and arête to superhuman levels- it doesn't guarantee success, but you are guaranteed a more than fair chance of success. If a horde of Them are bearing down and your friends need you to take the shot, you'll make it with style. If your long-time, out-of-your-league crush confesses in the heat of the moment, you've got suaveness and charisma to spare.

100 Credits - Quick-Witted (Free with Genius)

At the end of the day, you need to be more than just smart. This perk improves your reaction times and down-to-the-wire actions. The deeper in legitimate peril you are, the faster you think and act. Your reaction times are overall improved in daily life, and you attain peak human reflexes in high-stress situations. Incidentally, you gain a talent for scathing quips and zingers.

200 Credits - Megane (Discount Genius)

When you're thinking, you won't tolerate distractions- instead, you become a gorgeous distraction to anyone around you. You have a seemingly endless number of ticks that accentuate your features from head to toe, driving anyone to distraction by the dexterity of your tongue running over your lips, the muscles rippling in your legs as you shift, or the grace of your fingers as you tap the surface in front of you. This trait will automatically take effect if you're distracted or thinking intensely, unless the consequences would be unfavourable. Barring very real threat, people will happily opt to watch you for hours instead of interrupting you.

400 Credits - Of Course I Can! (Discount Genius)

It doesn't matter that you might have never attempted something, as long as you can think it through, you can achieve a workman-like, uninspired success. This perk improves your ability to perform feats, as long as you have time to think through as many steps as possible to accomplish it. You could for example, balance on a tightrope, as long as you spent a good five or ten minutes planning out how you'd do it. This perk doesn't really help you improvise though, and if you make a mistake during a rehearsed action… Well, that might be messy.

600 Credits - Three Steps Ahead (Discount Genius)

For most of the world, it's hard to plan further than two moves ahead, to look at the big picture and understand the true extent of a situation. With this perk, you have a superhuman grasp of planning, as well as the ability to understand both logical, and irrational actions. You can explicitly comprehend the idea of 'billions' as billions. You could, for example, accurately predict the top three places an urban population would want to escape to during a nationwide catastrophe in the order of how effective or easy it would be to reach them, and what defences they likely have. Having discerned this, you can with an extremely high degree of certainty estimate your own chances of succeeding at the same course of action. In summary, you have a supernal grasp of large population behaviours, crisis management, general government response and a whole host of other factors, which make it very easy for you to predict movements and plan your own. The more you know about a given situation or organization, the better your predictions and plans work.

100 Credits - Finesse (Free with Fighter)

Your bodily coordination is perfect, to the point that you can dodge bullets by the smallest of margins- if you're aware of them. With this perk, you have the grace and poise of an Olympic gymnast or world-renowned dancer, no matter what form or figure you have. Every motion is a work of art.

200 Credits - Fashion (Discount Fighter)

Your clothing and entire body acquire defensive properties equal to the most superior protective items you have currently equipped. Emphasis on protective item- an iron or steel ring won't give you metal-tough skin- the minimum is things like knee pads from extreme sports, helmets- even an apron would count, though all that'd do is protect you from the dangers of a kitchen...

400 Credits - Function (Discount Fighter)

You have a definitive grasp of your chosen skill sets, and this commitment to excellence propagates through your entire being. As a base effect, this perk grants national tournament levels of mastery in a specific martial art, including close combat weapon styles. You also have mastery over the unarmed aspects of those styles. (Swordsmen are trained to fight without swords too, after all). The secondary benefit, is that as long as you maintain one skill, all other skills in that category do not degrade from lack of use. In fact, you see a small increase in overall competence- gains in a primary skill show a modest improvement in other related skills. This perk functions on categories; martial arts improve martial arts, while culinary arts improve culinary arts, and so on.

600 Credits - Form (Discount Fighter)

To be a peerless warrior, you need more than personal skill. You need awareness of the world around you, of all the things and beings, down to the texture of the air itself. This perk improves your environmental awareness and allows you to break down any street-level combat situation into its component parts. Because of your environmental sense, you may manoeuvrer at full speed with only an image or quick glance at a location. Blindness, Deafness or other non-balance sensory disruption has no effect. You also will never trip on any surface or obstacle you have present knowledge of. You are automatically aware of any opponent who is not actively hidden, and know all the likeliest hiding places based on what you know of your foes. This tactical mastery and mental breakdown tells you the most dangerous individuals relative to your own position and objectives. You will have an objective sense of their threat level, though you might not know why they're threatening. This means you can pick between people with concealed weapons or without.

100 Credits - Attention, Please (Free with Teacher)

With just a glance, you know intuitively how to gain and maintain someone's interest- and what will lose it in an instant. From knowing that word problems that involve naval battles will get that Otaku to do his homework, to the fact that inserting the word 'polymer' into a conversation will make that insistent suitor's eyes glaze over and find someone else to hit on, you're a master at manipulating interest.

200 Credits - Maturity (Discount Teacher)

You've finished maturity, and are thus also finished with the confusing hormonal mess that is being a teenager. You're more level headed as a result, but you've also gained the uncanny ability to influence the emotional maturity of others. With just a few words or gestures, you can make them feel like a child, eager for parental authority and reassurance; a teenager, prone to emotional extremes and taking risks; or an adult, more composed and wielding perspective. Basically people act the age you treat them. Maturity, incidentally, will be very good to you. Any time you grow up, you may influence your physical development, and how 'developed' you are to a great extent.

400 Credits - Hands-on Approach (Discount Teacher)

The effectiveness of any and all communication is vastly enhanced by physical contact with the subject you're targeting. People will learn faster if you physically adjust their movements, emphasize with you if you grip their hands, and literally rubbing shoulders with investors will get them much more interested in your business or product. In particular, you may guide the emotional reaction of touched individuals to what you say and do.

600 Credits - Favourable Fortunes (Discount Teacher)

Serendipity is your watchword, and it lets you go through life with an almost easy-going sense of peace. You only have to leave the door open for opportunity to come in. What this means, is that you have an improved amount of luck when it comes to finding useful caches of tools, weapons, supplies, or even safe places to stay. Maybe you'll know of a friend of a friend who has a place, or you heard something from somewhere. What matters, is that you can almost without fail and great frequency, find a cache that helps you through the day. You may, once per day, find a small holdout of food, water and other gear that will last you and up to ten or so people for that period. (you can of course ration things and re-use found supplies). Alternatively, you may choose not to use this luck for one week. If you manage to do so, you will find a large windfall, which can be something like an intact house with defensible walls, a stocked (powered) fridge, running water and so on. This luck takes many forms based on your situation or environment- you won't find apartments in pre-history wilderness, for example, but you would find a defensible cave.

100 Credits - Hard Target (Free with The Soldier)

You're a tough nut to crack- because you know how to wear armour effectively! This perk ensures that any armour or protective gear you wear feels comfortable and doesn't get in your way no matter how bulky or awkward it seems. Further, your skills make rips and breaks in the armour much less likely, and far easier to repair. One of Them won't down you with a lucky one-bite hit!

200 Credits - The Gun-show (Discount Soldier)

You are fit, sleek and toned, just what you need to survive in a chaotic apocalyptic world. This perk improves your endurance, changing how you respond to exertion. You can move or work faster and harder the longer you've spent exerting yourself, like the reverse of being out of breath. Your actual endurance has not changed- you'll get tired in the same amount of time, but you'll be working at your peak right up until you collapse. As an added effect, you look good no matter how hard you've been exerting yourself. Better even. Perspiration is always flattering, and the way your hair gets tousled during bursts of high action is a thing of beauty.

400 Credits - Solo Sniper Skills (Discount Soldier)

It's tough, but sometimes you have to go it alone in a harsh world. Snipers normally work in pairs for various reasons, with one acting as the spotter. With this perk, you can go without. As a base effect, you gain a secondary voice in your head which clearly and concisely communicates sensory and environmental information to you as you line up a shot. This ability works with any weapon you know how to use, and automatically interprets everything you know about the area. You may not notice it consciously, but you can gauge wind-speed by the movement of the clouds, or how hard the air tugs on your hair or clothes.

600 Credits - By The Numbers (Discount Soldier)

Military training takes several years to grind a fresh-faced recruit into a honed, well-oiled and shaped component of a much greater war machine. You can do it in five weeks. This perk improves your ability to train yourself and others into a coherent unit. By the end of any training regimen, you and your comrades will be a well-oiled machine. You can drill good working habits yourself and others- reflexively relaying information to each other, for example, which among other things prevents tunnel vision. If it is a behaviour that can be instilled for group cohesion, you can train it. At the end of the five weeks, you and anyone you've trained with can act as if they've been working together for decades, to the level of special forces soldiers, trained astronauts, haute cuisine chefs and so on. This perk does not grant you knowledge in and of itself however.

100 Credits - Improvised Weapon Mastery (Discount for The Expert)

As a disaster survival expert, You're good at improvising weapons out of nearby materials. Broom sticks into Spears, pipes into clubs, etc. In addition to that, you have a competent grasp of gun-smithing. This means you know how to maintain guns, and manufacture bullets, to make the tools that manufacture firearms and bullets, and what raw materials you need for all of the above. Yes, you conceivably could with enough time and available raw materials tech up to firearms from Neanderthal tech base. This perk guarantees that as long as you aren't locked in a featureless white room, a barren salt flat or the vastness of space, you can improvise something to protect yourself with from hostile action. Note that this effect applies to things you're wearing as well.

200 Credits - This Is What I Trained For (Discount for The Expert)

Thought experiments and endless simulations have proven to you that you have what it takes to handle whatever a disaster situation can throw at you. With this perk, you maintain a steady and appropriate amount of confidence regarding your situation, which means you're less likely to make mistakes based on fear, apprehension, second guessing, or even arrogance. This effect is improved if you've read about the situation at hand or experienced it

before.

400 Credits - Safe Room Skills (Discount for The Expert)

Any disaster survival expert can tell you that one of the most critical things you need is shelter. A basement, the top floor of an apartment building, or any similarly defensible position. The fewer ways in the better. This perk allows you to quickly identify if a room can be fortified, depending on how many entrances it has. A room with two entrances can be secured against any invading force for 24 hours. Any additional doors, windows or points of access reduce this time by 6 hours, to a minimum of 1 hour. Aggressors will either wait outside for you, or gradually leave as something more interesting catches their eye. Intelligent opponents can leave sentries or traps for you however. You cannot use the same safe room twice in the same week.

600 Credits - This is Reality (Discount for The Expert)

You can, with almost perfect clarity, describe a situation, and then have people understand the scope and implications of it. When you say 'Billions', people actually become capable of acknowledging it as 'Billions', instead of the psychological and neural shorthand that brains employ all the time. Essentially, when you explain something, people don't come back with 'that's impossible' or vehement denials. Nor are they hampered by the limits of their ability to comprehend scope and scale. Because of your explanation, people who listen to you focus on the practical realities of making progress or ensuring overall survival. This ability to explain even works via assumptions-Assuming it's happening to the whole world, people will understand the ramifications and scope of that assumption. Even if it isn't happening, people will act as if it is in a, largely rational manner. You can't incite a panic with this effect, but you can encourage people to take action for or against a situation based on your presentation.

...Welp, I'm going to be here for a while.

I have 2600 Credits at the moment, enough to choose a few and have extra left over.

Handy at hand seems useful, and cheap enough that I don't mind the cost. I'll think about it.

Forged in fire is useless with the Affection system.

Madness Manager and Sign Language could be useful, but they are also expensive.

Hobbyist again, would be useful, but I'll think about it.

Dark Visage can't do anything I can't do myself with my own skills, that's what my CHA is for.

Mozambique Drill isn't useful since I have Death Magic, and a lot of skill with various melee weapons.

The Occasion is too expensive for what it does.

Quick-Witted is nothing my INT doesn't already do.

Megane is kinda weird...

Of Course I Can! Does nothing my skill checks don't do. Same with Three Steps Ahead.

Finesse seems really useful even with my stats, especially for it's cost, so I'll take it.

Fashion just does what my equipment already does.

Function would be useful, but I'll pass since I don't want to spend 400 Credits on it.

Form seems really useful... but it's 600 Credits... I'll think about it.

Attention, Please would be useful... if it wasn't for my CHA stat.

Maturity might be useful, again, I'll decide later.

Hands on Approach seems useful, and I do tend to get... hands on. 400 Credits...

Favourable Fortunes would be great, but my spirits can scout for those things for me.

Hard Target just gives me what the Game gives me from levelling my Armour Proficiencies.

The Gun-Show seems nice, and my Endurance... or my END if you prefer is already very high. Still, I will think about it.

Solo Sniper Skills is something I can probably get by levelling a class with guns, but I do like the idea of sniping fools from a nice safe distance.

By the Numbers is no good since I can train people in my dungeons if I need to, or I can use my Party to level them against zombies without them realising.

Improvised Weapon Mastery? Yes Please, Dead Rising Style weapons here I come.

This is what I trained for is useless since undead aren't going to panic a Necromancer.

I don't need a Safe Room skill, if the Domain system still works I can make a fortress with enough money.

Even with the discount I'm not buying a skill to make me be able to convince idiots to stop being idiots. This is Reality can be replaced by me just shooting idiotic survivors... there's always one asshole in the Zombie movies that fucks things up for everyone, if I find one their getting either shot or used as bait.

Going back I select Handy at Hand, Maturity, Hands on Approach, Gun Show and Solo Sniper Skills.

I spent a lot, leaving me at 1150 Credits, but I think these will be useful in the long run. I can get more Credits as I fight various bosses and dungeons anyway.

Please select your Gear.

50 Credits - In Case of….

This is a fire axe, like you'd find in hazard boxes all over the place in a city. It never needs sharpening, and it's handle will not break during combat. (You could saw through it if you wanted). It is extremely effective as a weapon, but is also a multi-function tool when creating barricades, removing barricades, and so on.

100 Credits - Boomstick

It's simple, straight forward and effective. This is a pump-action shotgun with an extremely sturdy frame, clean break and firing action. It's construction is so robust, that it will not jam, never needs cleaning, and can fire anything that could conceivably be loaded in a shotgun shell at deadly effectiveness. This means if you have rocks and a shell with intact propellant, you can fire a deadly spray of rocks. The sturdiness means it's also an effective bludgeoning implement.

200 Credits - Not-Quite-Omicon

This tome is bound with a thread that isn't human hair, and covered with leather that isn't human skin. Really! It just looks like that, because someone, somewhere, is tasteless. It's just a prop. Seriously. It has infinite pages- that look like vellum- but not a drop of ink is anywhere in the book. Opening the book with a subject in mind will cause the correct page be opened to. Killing can fix that. Every time you kill something, a page fills itself out, providing a detailed and insightful analysis of your victim, with conjecture as to what will be common to a 'species', how to recognize more, and how to best injure, maim, or kill them. By touching the book to the body, or splashing a bit of their blood (or blood-alike) on their page, the breakdown is widely expanded, as if a dissection (or vivisection) was performed to truly understand all they would have been capable of. Ominously, as you fill the pages, you can't help but notice a certain organizational system. It's less like the book is adding information, more like it's being revealed to you, and the book already knew...

50 Credits - Chief's Special

This is a Japan-issue police revolver with a six-round cylinder. What it lacks in stopping power, it makes up for in ubiquity- any handgun ammo you find will fit in this weapon and fire without incident. However, everything fired from this weapon behaves as if it were the appropriate ammo, not whatever you loaded in it.

100 Credits - Nail-gun

Mainstay of the genre, this is not your ordinary industrial tool. This intensely modified and heavy weapon fires nails the size of railroad spikes. Against Them, head-shots are guaranteed kills and body shots can pin the target to a wall or send them flying with massive kinetic transfer. Unfortunately, it has a very small magazine- four spikes. They regenerate in the magazine one at a time, every fifteen minutes. The weapon is also very loud, so be prepared...

200 Credits - DMR

This medium-range rifle is a beauty- well maintained and expertly balanced. Its sights and settings automatically adjust to whoever's holding it, and simply having it in hand confers the basics of gun safety and handling on the wielder. More importantly, at anywhere from 50 to 100 meters, this weapon is fiendishly accurate. So accurate, that you can conceivably no-scope targets within that range, just so long as you're not yanking on the trigger like a novice.

50 Credits - Glasses (Free with the Genius)

They can be trendy specs, shooting goggles, or some other form of corrective/protective eyewear. No matter what they are, they do correct your vision, tuning it to perfect focal clarity at all natural distances. They can never break, scratch or be lost, appearing in your pocket if knocked loose. Finally, any grime or muck that gets on the lenses immediately slides off.

100 Credits - Fireworks (Discount Genius)

You've got a lightweight kit with a small selection of fireworks. Six hours after using one, it will have returned. Includes: a silent rocket that leaves a trail of red sparks in the air; essentially a silent flare; an exceptionally loud, slow burning crackler that can be heard for miles; a moderately loud, fast burning crackler that would only attract attention in the immediate area; and a full book of always usable matches. All three fireworks have long fuses to allow delayed ignition, and the rockets are easily detached from the noisy or flashy payload.

200 Credits - Nine-Millimetre, With Extended Magazine (Discount Genius)

This beauty is an extremely modern, heavy duty special operations side arm. You're not exactly sure of it's make and model, but you could hand it to any professional soldier and they could tell you. The important thing, is that this is a beast of a weapon with a whisper-quiet, smooth-as-silk action and all the best parts. Unlike some weapons, you still have to clean this one periodically, but as long as you do, it will be your faithful companion. As long as the gun is cleaned regularly, it will never jam. It will also have one tenth of the normal recoil for its size and caliber. Lastly, it has been modified for Fully Automatic Fire, and its extended magazine holds ninety rounds . The actual thing itself looks like it holds maybe fifteen total. Good thing it has reduced recoil! The Fighter

50 Credits - Combat Outfit (Free with Fighter)

It looks like a blend of a school uniform, a soldier's tactical gear, and maybe some sports equipment. Regardless, it is surprisingly flattering and easy to wear. The armoured parts will provide good protection against Them or other things that can bite or claw you. If damaged, it will repair itself overnight.

100 Credits - Combat Spearhead (Discount Fighter)

This is an 8" long, razor sharp knife with a serrated back edge. It's heavy but easy to carry and wield as a combat weapon or a normal tool. It can be used as a prybar without risk of breakage. More importantly, the hilt comes with a mounting brace that can attach to either a pole of some kind, creating a spear, or the barrel of a gun like a bayonet. In both cases, the combined weapon will not break, dull or get stuck in an opponent.

200 Credits - Soul of the Samurai (Discount Fighter)

Normally, a sword requires careful care and ritual to keep it in condition- cleaning to prevent rust, regular sharpening, replacing bindings- not this katana. You could cut slabs of solid steel with your katana. Thrice as sharp and thrice as hard as any mundane blade, it basically does everything any other sword could do three times better. You can explicitly use this blade to bisect a man with a simple vertical slash, to say nothing of how easy a decapitation would be- you wouldn't even feel the resistance. Even though it's three times harder, it won't ever shatter or dull. That was dealt away with somewhere in the mystical process of being folded over a million times in construction. This is, quite simply, the best sword the world has ever seen.

50 Credits - Silk Everything (Free with Teacher)

You scrimped and saved for it, and now you have it- a closet full of brand name apparel that is professionally tailored to you. It is notably flattering, and you can make almost any kind of complimentary outfit from your stores. If that weren't enough, it is all made of Silk- not just normal off the shelf silk, but special silk, like the kind you hear about in stories made from spiders. Darwin's Bark Spiders. Clothes made from this material are cutting, slashing and chewing resistant, and possess incredible tensile strength- you could easily use a silk shirt to lash a car to a trailer- and the trailer will give out before the shirt does. Explicitly, your closet of awesome duds comes with outrageously comfortable and sexy underwear.

100 Credits - The Keys (Discount Teacher)

This jangling ring has on it a single key-fob and matching key. It goes to a fairly urbane twelve-seater minibus, good for field trips or ploughing through hordes of shambling necrotic horrors. Firstly, the bus these normally keys go to will always be present somewhere nearby at the start of your jump. Secondly, this key can work for any vehicle you own and have the keys or key-equivalents for. In the latter case, you'll have to pull that vehicle out of storage however you can. If you've lost track of the bus, you may 'find' it by entering any garage (including a public one) with the keys brandished.

200 Credits - I'm Feeling Lucky! (Discount Teacher)

When society falls apart, you can't just Google or Wikipedia for the answers for random- yet horribly important- knowledge. Luckily for you, you have the Ultimate Pocket Encyclopedia. If you think about a subject while you open it, you'll find a complete entry on the subject. It's accuracy, relevance, and detail will be the equivalent of using the 'I'm Feeling Lucky!' feature of the Google search engine.

50 Credits - Shooter's Gauntlets (Free with Soldier)

You have in your possession a pair of custom made forearm guards with the option to have fully gloved hands, fingerless gloves, your index finger fully exposed, or some combination of the above. Looking like a tactical badass aside, as protection these bracers offer the standard benefits against hand to hand and head-to-hand attacks. More importantly, they improve your resilience against powder burns, chemical burns, explosive damage and so on. This is a combination of the armour protecting your arms, and it granting you a steadier hand when using firearms or explosives. If you need to set up a claymore mine, measure out a drop of nitro glycerine, or overload a rifle round, these gloves will make sure nothing blows up. And if it does, you won't get burned.

100 Credits - Arsenal (Discount Soldier)

You have five military grade weapons that are illegal for civilians to own. You can choose what make and models you have, so long as they are available to an armed force on Earth in 2010-15. They also come with magazines, cleaning supplies and loose ammunition hundreds of shotgun shells, thousands of military grade rounds, and so on. In addition to all of the above, you also have the appropriate paperwork to make law enforcement look away. This paperwork applies to any weapon you happen to be carrying as well. Any legal protection these papers provide are null if you do something like go demolishing up a city.

200 Credits - The Tank (Discount Soldier)

It's not actually a Tank, but instead it is a heavy duty military all terrain vehicle. A Jeep or Humvee to be exact. This is the military incarnation of the vehicle with all the appropriate functions and features but it is not armed. It has all the mountings for weapons however. It has several military grade after-market upgrades like triple plated copper, which hardens it against electromagnetic disruption. Of particular note is that it has several jerrycans of fuel in the back that replenish themselves every 48 hours, and cannot be punctured or set on fire accidentally. (Stray bullets won't make your fuel explode).

50 Credits - Them Survival Guide (Free with The Expert)

This is your lifeline, the thing that keeps you going at night. It describes most possible forms of walking dead apocalypse and how to survive them. The advice given also applies to similar horde style opponents. It has guidelines on rationing, weapons manufacture and a whole host of other topics relevant to survival in a mad world. It also acts as a touchstone by holding onto it outside of combat, you banish fear and can calm yourself down. This is primarily useful for getting to sleep in hostile territory.

100 Credits - Them Defence Kit (Discount for The Expert)

This sleek, incredibly tactical roll away bag has everything you need to survive in the field, medically speaking. Inside is a constantly replenishing supply of ointments, clean bandages and sterile field surgical tools. As long as it's nothing like an organ injury or internal bleeding, this kit has what you need to fix it.

200 Credits - The Great Communicator (Discount for The Expert)

It's a chainsaw. Unlike most tools, this one is actually upgraded and modified to be used against the walking dead. It is however quite loud, and will attract all sorts of attention. Regardless of it's shortcomings, this weapon is a guaranteed kill on any walking dead or similarly human sized foe, assuming they lack extra-normal durability.

I can steal a fire axe from somewhere pre-apocalypse.

A shotgun would be nice but I can probably have my undead find one for me.

Not-Quite-Omicon sounds cool, but not worth 200 Credits.

A police revolver I can take of the corpse of a police officer. A Nail gun I can get from a hardware store, and a DMR I can get from a armoury, once I find one.

I don't want to use Nekoshou in a non-magical world, and I don't know how to hide my non-human traits yet, so glasses will be useful.

Fireworks I don't care about, and the Nine-Millimetre is also not something I need, I can loot weapons after all.

I'll pass on the Combat Outfit, and the Combat Spearhead. And the Soul of a Samurai might be the best sword this world has seen, but I think some of the ones in my Inventory are going to be far better.

Silk Everything seems stupid and wasteful... I'll take it.

The Keys isn't for me, I'll just find a military vehicle to steal.

I'm Feeling Lucky is no good, I can jump back to DxD and google whatever I want to know.

Shooter's Gauntlets aren't for me.

Arsenal is nothing I can't steal from the military.

I'll take the Tank for the infinite fuel it comes with.

Them Survival Guide is free, even if it isn't massively useful.

Them Defence Kit is basically infinite Med-kits, and I am all about that.

Chainsaws are overrated... I blame Ash Williams.

And that is my Equipment. Down to 850 Credits now...

Special Undead - +250 Credits

Secret Magic - +250 Credits

You have magic, and that isn't something you can let anyone know...

Low Magic World - +250 Credits

This world has no magic, and as a result your own MP Regen will be stopped completely as long as you are in this world.

The Horde - +250 Credits

There is a giant horde of undead swarming this world, any safe haven you use as a base will swarmed by them repeatedly, if you spend to long in the open, they will come.

Special Undead I will take since I kinda like challenge, and I think I can handle them...

Crossover? Sure, why not. More potential minio... allies will be useful.

Secret and Low Magic... I do want those credits... I can handle it, I can be subtle and if I need to recharge I can use potions, I am an alchemist after all.

All of them but me back up to 1850 Credits, and that I like.

I don;t want to save the world, don't want to destroy it either.

A cult? Nah, I'll just build a nice safe place and be done with it. I'll be the leader, naturally but I don't need to be worshipped, just obeyed.

Making my choices I am suddenly engulfed in light as I reappear in a random alleyway in Tokonosu City... one zombie apocalypse here I come.

....
