Chapter 2 : Who set my game to Nightmare mode?
The power of destruction? Sacred Gears?
…..what the actual fuck?.
Isn't this the world of soul salad making creepy dark lords and manipulative cock-sucking old men?.
How in hell did it become the Disneyland of tits, asses and overpowered beings which can blast my ass to space and beyond?
This world follows no logic, an idiot gets power ups via boobs and defeats gods and Satans, they send high schoolers to fight overpowered terrorists. What kind of mess did I get myself dragged into?
Calm down. I am a fucking gamer. If someone comes after me, I just need to grind the hell out of the IDs and beat their asses all the way to Sunday. Moreover this world might have many dangers, but it has the same amount of opportunities to get stronger. Cheat level artifacts and hax level powers are not uncommon. Fortune favors the bold. And I am BOLD and ITALICS too for that matter. Need to plan things out and find out where I am in the timeline. Harry Potter goes on in the 1990's and DxD in the 2000s but none of it can be trusted as this world is insanely fucked up from what I can see.
I did advise you to keep an open mind while playing the Game host. While not all the knowledge that you possess will be irrelevant, there are some changes in the world. That's for you to find and me to know.
….it might be my imagination, but I think the game just smirked at me.
Okay. Fuck this. I still have to take care of the matters at hand. Let's see where this goes on. My priority is still getting out of this dump called Magical Britain and getting strong enough to take care of myself. Do I care about what happened to my body's previous owner? No. Will I care if those matters get me into trouble? Damn right I will.
This world does have some really hot girls to bang though. From teenagers to milfs. Even the professors at Hogwarts are hot and not old hags. My Lustful trait is making it harder for me to leave this place without taking a bite out of the chicks. But this is not giving up, it's a strategic retreat. I'll be back for the booty junior me, so calm down.
The Goblin looks at me with a strange look. I must be showing my emotions quite a lot if it got that kind of reaction from him. Moving on.
"I would like to claim the Lordships of the houses of which I am eligible for." I said after regaining control of my expressions.
"I will get the Lordship rings of the house Peverell. The ring of House Black was lost when the previous Lord Black, Sirius Orion Black fell through the veil and ring of house Slytherin has been lost for centuries. We can make replacements for them but charges will be deducted from your account." Replies Ragnok in a professional tone of voice though I could sense a hint of mirth in his voice. Probably due to my attempt at controlling my emotions. Gotta learn Occlumency soon.
At my nod of agreement he sends off the goblin who led me here with some words in Gobbledegook. While waiting for him to return I ask a question that has been on my mind for a while now.
"Does Gringotts offer a magical ritual to change names?" I ask willing to try my luck. My name is troublesome as it can be used in many ways to drag me back here. The goblet was a prime example of this. I am not taking that fucking risk ever again. Better to change it into something that people here don't know of.
As if my words were some kind of a joke, the smile on Ragnok's face becomes almost …..feral. I don't know what his expression implies but anything on that ugly face looks terrifying. Even so he replies in kind. "Yes, as changing a name magically is a job associated with the identification of a person, it comes under the services of Gringotts."
"If so, then please arrange the ritual for me at the earliest possible time. I hope you can keep this confidential as a customer's privacy." I say with a tone of suspicion at the smile that he gives me.
"Gringotts prides itself for the valuables it protects. Whether it be treasures or secrets, it only leaves with the right person or gets buried with the dead bodies of thieves who try to get their hands on it. It is something that has not changed since our founding and hopefully will never change." The goblin's tone was almost regal as he spoke those words. His ugly muck might make it easy to forget it, but he is a King. That disposition and tone of authority is not something that can be faked. Something to keep in mind.
The other goblin returns with 3 boxes and hands them over to Ragnok. He opens the boxes and hands me the three rings. I wear them on my fingers and they shrink magically to fit my fingers and disappear when I will it so. With this I am Lord Harry James Peverell Slytherin Black. Wow, that's a long ass name. gotta get it changed soon.
"Please get the ritual ready if possible. I'd rather be done with all my immediate businesses right now."
I get a nod in response as he leads me to a ritual room where goblin shamans stand around a ritual circle. They point me at the middle of the circle to stand and wait while they instruct me of the oath to recite while they power the ritual.
The ritual circle glows a bright crimson hue mixed with a tinge of black.
Please select a name for yourself.
And now the game remembers me. Shin Kageyami.
Accept Y/N.
Yes.
The light around me dies down as the shamans stop their chants. Status.

With one of my major worries solved, I follow Ragnok back to his office. Time to make arrangements for the next part of my plans.
"I was wondering if Gringotts provides some services in the muggle side of the world. I would appreciate some help in getting an identity for travel in it." I say with a measured tone, not wanting to give away much of what I am planning to do…..and I seriously doubt that's working. My pitiful 15 CHA makes it hard for me to hide my intentions and Ragnok is too experienced to be fooled by someone like me…..atleast for now.
"Gringotts provides such services for an adequate price of course."
You know what….. I am starting to like these ugly creatures a little. Give them some gold and they would sell their own limbs to you. Definitely the kind of people I can work with.
"Very well, please arrange a passport for me and an identity to use in the muggle world along with some currency to use there. But first I would like to check my vaults if you would help me with that?"
"Sure, follow Bonecrusher, he is the Account Manager of the vaults of House Black. You can appoint other Account Managers for the other House Vaults or allow him to manage them as well." He reminds me about the other vaults. Apparently the Peverell and Slytherin houses haven't had their Account Manager selected by the Head of the House after the previous ones died.
"Thank you, can you also help me with the Peverell, Black and Slytherin Family trees. I would like to examine and make some changes in the status of some members as part of the Houses."I am going to remove any claim of anyone else on the three houses. No Potters, Malfoys or Riddles are going to get even a single penny or Knut in this case from my money.
"I will get it ready while you visit your vaults." Observe shows he is …..intrigued and…..expectant. The fuck does he expects?
I follow Bonecrusher to visit the House Black House Vaults. They have 6 different vaults in Gringotts. Too annoying to manage but the main one should do for now. The carriage takes us to the inner parts of the underground maze. House Black is very influential as well as rich and thus they are located in the maximum security zone of Gringotts along with the vaults of House Peverell and House Slytherin.
The goblin opens the vaults for me and….wow.
That's the only word that comes to mind. Wow. Mountains upon mountains of stacked galleons and piles of jewels, different tomes and grimoires on magic that people here consider lost or more importantly dark.
I order the goblin to leave as I take care of my business in the vault. Can't let anyone find out about my inventory.
First I start off with the books and jewels, followed by artifacts and galleons. Leaving only sickles and knuts along with other mundane stuff in the main family vaults. I place them all in a trunk in the vault with a space expansion charm enchanted on it. As I plan for the other things, I need to do here.
The House Black vault's number is 711 and the House Lestrange vault's number is 713. It's a bit further inside but not enough to make it inaccessible for me. I quickly cast The Eyes of Darkness to locate the vaults around the House Black's vaults. That's the beauty of the skill. I don't have to actually see the shadows or darkness around me as long as it is in the range of my skill, I can use it.
After a minute or two of searching, I finally find what I am looking for. Helga Hufflepuff's chalice and Riddle's horcrux. Quickly using Shadow Walk to teleport there, I grab the chalice.
Mental Attack averted by Gamers Mind
Throwing it into my inventory before anything else can happen I Shadow Walk back to the House Black's vault and call Bonecrusher back.
We continue our ride to House Slytherin's vaults and I do the same with them.
Finally it's time for the Peverell House's Vaults. Honestly it's what I am looking forward to the most during my visit.
What would the Vaults of one of the oldest Houses in the wizarding world contain? Just imagining it makes me impatient. We arrive there in a short while and it does not disappoint. If the House Black's vaults were big, this is Gigantic. Tons of gold, not galleons but pure gold and enough books to make an entire city's libraries be ashamed of themselves.
Artifacts and jewels, both magical and non-magical are practically countless. I guess Ignotus Peverell used the Invisibility cloak for more than just hiding from Death because there is no fucking way he could have amassed this much through only legal means considering House Peverell has been considered extinct for a very long time.
Without wasting another moment I start storing everything in the trunk available. House Peverell has enchanted trunks that would make Newt Scamander's trunk look pale in comparison. Well, Good for me.
After finishing everything in the vault, I ask the goblin to return me back to Ragnok. I need to complete some left over work before leaving this place for good.
Ragnok had already gathered the family registers for me to check. Quickly I strike the names of the next heirs to all three houses and remove them from the families. I am not going to let them pull any shit over me behind my back by using any ministry laws.
Ragnok seems…pleased. His observe shows satisfaction and mild respect. I guess goblins are vicious beings and him seeing me do this to my all so called family must have raised their opinion of me even if it's only a bit.
The passport is already ready and I ask him to collect the payment from House Black's vaults. They still have enough to last a normal wizard several centuries of comfortable and stable life. With that I am finally finished with my work in Gringotts.
"Well met Head Accountant Ragnok, May your vaults overflow and your enemies cower at your feet."
The grin he offers in return is something that requires me the assistance of the Gamers Mind to stop my legs from fleeing at the first moment I can.
"May your gold flow like a river and your enemies flee before you. Well met indeed Lord Peverell."
Pulling up the hood of my T-Shirt, I head up to the Leaky Cauldron and using Fletcher's wand on the wall, out of the magical world and into London. Need to find out the schedules for international flights and make plans to follow for the coming days. But first things first, it's still midday and I need a shower. There are quite a few changes in the world and I need to find them out as soon as I can.
