Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Close Call
Koneko turned her head, the reincarnated devil was currently sitting in Seth's lap, something she started doing after a few days.
She honestly enjoyed the boy's company, just simply talking about sweets and rap music, simply hanging out with him and playing video games with him on the weekend. Kiba would even join sometimes, it was really fun too.
She doesn't remember ever smiling as much as she did when she hangs out with Seth. Even if she still didn't smile much.
'Senpai's lap feels kinda good to sit on, way more comfortable than usual? I wonder why?'
"Koneko are you okay?" Says Seth who took off his earphones he was currently listening to a few new rap artists Koneko suggested.
"Mmh…Nothing." She replies.
"Hmm…Really?" Said Seth as a playful smile appeared on his face as his right arm made way for her head.
"It's no-!" Before she could reply, he began to scratch her head causing her to close her eyes purring in pure comfort.
"You just purred like a cat!"
Hearing this her body stiffened as her face turned red in embarrassment.
"Maybe I should call you Neko-chan from now on, it's in your name, you have a cat hair pin so it fits."
Koneko turned around and narrowed her eyes, seeing her trying to intimidate him; he just smiled.
"You're lucky you make good treats." Was all she said before turning around. Seth chuckled.
"Tojou-san, what you're doing is highly inappropriate." Said a voice, it's Shinra-fukukaichou.
"Hey Vice-Prez came for some more cooking tips?" She nodded and calmly walked over taking a seat beside me.
She looked Koneko in the eyes, the yokai smiled smugly then snuggled into Seth. A scowl appeared on her face.
Somehow these two developed feelings for him. Truthfully he wasn't interested in any romantic relationships currently, all he wanted to do was grind.
'Heh!' he chuckled inwardly, if his actions are being viewed in another world as fiction, which it definitely is, then plenty of lonely horny bastards would curse him for denying two cute girls who're literally throwing themselves at him in a harem and ecchi world.
But he didn't want that, all he wanted was to fight strong guys and game.
Though right now he didn't know how to break it to the girls. He's thought of hundreds of millions of scenarios but he didn't want to ruin the current friendship he had with them.
That was a problem for future Seth anyway.
"Cooper-kun I think it's highly inappropriate for Tojou-san to be sitting on your lap."
Turning my head to the side with a confused look I asked her. "Why is it inappropriate?"
I then put on the most innocent expression I could. "She's my friend. I want her to be comfortable."
[Acting - has leveled up!]
Honestly the reason I even gained this skill is because of these two, ever since they got crushes on me, Tsubaki has been getting jealous of Koneko sitting in my lap.
So I started to act like a dense harem protagoni-!
Wait! It couldn't be!
Seth used all his brain power and began to think of all the events that happened to him so far.
'Wait, am I in a fanfic?!' he thought, he recognized all the tropes he befriended Koneko which happens way too much in DxD Gamer fanfics and not only that became extremely strong in a short period of time.
'Holy shit I'm in a fanfic!'
[Congratulations! Due to cracking the 'code' you've gained the skill - Fourth Wall Awareness! - You're now able to interact with this world in ways like never before. Keep leveling this skill and you might gain some interesting abilities.]
'What the hell?!'
"Cooper-kun you okay?" Asked Tsubaki.
"Yeah I'm fine." I replied.
Ever since I gave Tsubaki those cookies she's been interested in trying some more and having been learning to bake some herself so we sort of just talked about recipes. Overtime we just sorta became friends which somehow developed into a crush.
Though thanks to her I'm now a master of japanese cuisine. Plus it's not like I don't like spending time with her.
She's honestly pretty cool.

Walking home for the day I checked my stats.
The Warrior class is at level 50 which opens up the option for sub-classes.
The sub-classes I had access to were Blacksmith, Alchemist, Chef, Engineer, Doctor and finally Gardener.
"Evening Edo-san!" I greeted an old man who was tending to some flowers. This is Mr.Edo, he's the owner of the apartment complex.
"Hello there m'boy!" He greeted me.
"Need some help with the flowers today?"
"No I'm fine you go have fun. I know school can be exhausting."
"Alright." I'd help out with the gardening if I could, I even got the gardening skill. The reason those sub-classes became available is due to the skills I've learned, such as Cooking and Smithing.
Fun fact it didn't just let you make weapons, that's Blacksmithing, it also taught me how to make pendants, necklaces and other jewelry which falls under Softsmithing.
Now you may be wondering what sub-class I chose obviously went for Blacksmith and Engineer. When you level a subclass it's by doing whatever is required of you.
Every level you're given a blueprint to work on, however well you manage to recreate it you get prizes depending on how well you did.
However if you underperform the class just reward you with a bit of exp, do well and the class gets lots of exp, do even better than what's required and the class might just level up.
I had Eden guiding me so I did well enough to level up in my first shot. After I maxed out the Blacksmith class I took on the Engineering class and I'm close to maxing that out too!
Honestly if it weren't for my super human brain I wouldn't be able to level stuff this far. I wonder why doesn't the fanfic writers seriously didn't take into account that after each level up our Wis stat causes us to get smarter which can make us ridiculously overpowered if we try.
Because honestly I'm definitely not even close to the high class in stats yet but thanks to the shitty DxD human magic system.
I figured out a way to make a fucking sun, not only that I also figure out how to make it go supernova and how to destroy it and turn it into a black hole. Hell I could even do that with Gravity magic.
I can destroy the entire solar system. Which means l can potentially fucking kill Great Red and Ophis.
But I can't, because I'm still figuring out the calcs for a barrier strong enough to survive that and because I'm not that durable and I don't even have the energy levels for that as of yet.
Not only that thanks to my high intelligence I've also been able to learn and nearly max out all elemental magic and I've also learned all the human magic in this world.
Anything else is way too expensive and I plan on learning those when I'm much stronger.
Another thing I've realized is that I don't need human magic or any other for that matter, thanks to the Gamer system I can do any of the magic in this world if I have a skill book. Especially with my control over my own magic energy I can copy the spells I do with the calculations.
The only thing I really need is the magic circle's ability for more efficient magic use.
Right now it's been a month and the Riser situation should be happening in a months time, which means the Kokabiel situation is happening a few weeks after.
This world may be covered in the glamor of bullshit power ups and tit's but you gotta admit, it's as much of a dog eat dog world as any cultivation world out there.
Getting out of my thoughts I see black haired woman with her hair cut short in a bob cut. She was dressed in a large white t-shirt and a pair of tights.
It was the same woman I met after I first got here. Sakonji Rika was her name.
"Evening Sakonji-san." I called out to her. She turned around with a cigarette in hand and an angry expression on her face.
"How many times do I have to tell you brat! It's Rika-nee!" She said as she pinched my cheek as hard as she could.
[-0 Hp]
[-0 Hp]
[-0 Hp]
"Just for that you owe me dinner." She told me. But I just smiled softly. "If you wanted me to make dinner for you, you could just ask ya know."
"Yeah whatever." After that I opened the door to my apartment but before Rika could come inside.
"My apartment rules, no smoking." I told her sternly my face was completely serious. I had no smile on my face.
I don't know why but I always hated those fucking cancer sticks! It's just every time I look at those I get mad.
"Geez! Kid I know you hated me smoking but, I didn't know you were like this." She threw it on the ground and stomped it out.
"Seriously every time you see me smoking it's like something crawled up your ass and died!" She said as she entered.
"It's just that I'm worried about your health Rika-nee. Even though it's been a short amount of time since we met, you're an important person to me." I told her sincerely, it's a bit embarrassing but I'm truly glad I have her and the other people I've met in my life.
"Yeah yeah whatever!" She said as she walked in. However, by her body language I could tell she was really happy, heck there's a high chance she has a blush on her face right about now.
'He's really hot when he's stern, but he's also really cute when he's smiling. Fuck, I wish I was younger.' She took a seat on his couch and laid down before turning on the TV. Seeing this Seth said nothing, only going to prepare dinner.
After dinner was finished he invited her to sit around the table with him.
'Oh God! This food is delicious! The fish just melts in your mouth!' she smiled as she chewed on her food.
"Glad to see you like it." He says as he takes a bite of some rice. Soon the two finished eating and they began to wash the dishes.
"Thanks for the food, kid! Ever since I've been eating it my body has been feeling a lot better all of a sudden. It used to be all sore in all sorts of places and hard to move but now!"
She gets up out of the chair and flexes her left leg around her neck with no problems.
His cooking skill is Maxed and thanks to that his food has special effects which now makes a person much more healthier.
Hell even if he cooks unhealthy fast food, if a person were to live on that diet only they'd still be one of the healthiest persons ever.
After dinner the two went on to do the dishes, getting on her footwear Rika.
"Later kid I'll be coming back over for dinner tomorrow." She placed a foot in one of her shoes. Finding trouble trying to get in the second one.
"Come on, get in you stupid. Whoa!" She yelped, Seth who had his back turned, turned around trying to catch her, it was too late however as one of her hands was outstretched causing her to grab on to his pants as she fell down she landed face first on the floor.
As she got up she got a face full of Seth's junk in her face. She couldn't help but stare at it, so much so hearts started to appear and her stomach started to feel warm.
'Fuck! Just like at the size of that thing? Does that thing really belong to a human? I kinda want it inside me.' She thought as she bit her lips, she outstretched her hand trying to grab it.
Seth however wasted no time and placed a hand in her face, her eyes became heavy and she fell to the floor sleeping soundly. What he did was just use some minor hypnosis magic to knock her out and erase her memories of what happened in the past few seconds.
Picking her up he set her down to sleep on his couch and tucked her in with a sheet.
The next day during lunch, Koneko informed me about the ten day trip but she kept the details bare saying it was some club trip. It seems I was right. The Rating Game with Rizer will be starting soon. I should probably introduce myself as a magician soon.
I should up my grind. As soon as I got home I made some dinner and left it wrapped in front of Rika's door with a note, yesterday was her day off.
I then entered the puppet dungeon, one I haven't been in for a long time and just started to decimate all the enemies coming my way. Soon I made it to the Boss room of the mansion and inside of it was a well dressed puppet called Puppet Baron I wasted no time and with a small scale Firaga eliminated him before he could speak.
I left through the door at the other side of the room and jumped down some stairs where the exit, in front of me stood a large pair of double doors. I walked through a large gate where a large open field stood with multiple different puppet animals.
[Puppet Wilds! - The Planes!]
[Dark Spot Density - 100%]
Dark spot density pretty much lowers every time you take out a dark spot. I smiled as a magic circle flashed and then disappeared under my feet.
I started to float upwards, I created a flight spell using both wind and gravity magic, I then summoned a large amount of magic circles and rained fire spells down on any creature I could find.
This is something I'd do in the other dungeons. I'd normally stop after I gained a few levels or when I felt bored and wanted an upfront fight, though I normally do that when I enter Dark spot.
I smiled as I looked as my Exp counter went up after leveling up a few times, I summoned the Map and seeked out the Dark Spots.
