[Gate of Babylon (Fate): 100 Multiversal Credits]
Holy shit… no matter the world, if he bought the Gate of Babylon, he would definitely be at the top.
Ea… Enkidu… The potion of youth… all of it would be within his reach. But… Leo was still undecided… Something in his mind was telling him that things wouldn't be that easy.
Looking at the other sections, he understood why he was having a bad feeling.
[Past Life Memories: 10 Multiversal Credits]
So it was a trap! If he had spent the 100 credits he had and not bought his memories, he would basically cease to exist and become a completely different person.
He was starting a new life, so it's natural that his memories would be erased… My 'spider' sense really saved me.
Placing 'Past Life Memories' in the cart, he had 90 Multiversal Credits left, which made him discard the Gate of Babylon.
Goodbye potion of youth… goodbye Enkidu… goodbye Ea. I never even got to have you, but you will always be in my heart.
Focusing back on the system shop, Leo decided he would use all his IQ to make the best possible purchase. Of course, his IQ wasn't one of the highest, but well… at least he wasn't a retard, or at least he didn't think he was.
Hmm… I think I can first buy a body immune to diseases and poisons? Wait, is it possible to customize the type of body I want? Searching through the shop's sections, he found what he wanted.
[Customize Character: 10 Multiversal Credits]
Fuck, even this costs money?! This is more like a pay-to-win system. Anyway, let's first customize my character.
He didn't consider himself an ugly individual, but he was afraid the system would randomize his gender and appearance before sending him to the other world. If that were the case, he was screwed, especially if the system turned him into a woman.
Don't get him wrong, Leo is a staunch supporter of women, but… he wasn't willing to take it from behind. He would be the one doing the pushing. Yes, yes.
"Since I'm going to another world, it's only fair to have a good appearance, so…" He spent a few minutes, or maybe hours, customizing his character, only to find out he wasn't good at it.
Fuck it, let's just go with the appearance of some anime character. Let's see, who… He would have to be the hero of humanity, right? So he needed to be someone handsome.
Yes, yes. He wasn't just doing this because he didn't want to be ugly in his next life.
Let's go with the appearance of Lanling Wang (FATE).
Initially, he intended to go with a more 'masculine' look, but fuck it. If the world he was sent to was a disaster, he could just find some older woman to support him. Fuck, it was said that Lanling Wang's appearance was so beautiful he had to wear a mask so as not to distract his allied soldiers.
Yes, Leonardo wanted to be handsome… and no, he didn't have a problem with his appearance from his past life… maybe a little… Nah, I just like beautiful things, that's it!
Memories Intact? Check!
Appearance? Check!
80 Multiversal Credits left… Time to set up my 'build'.
Since he was human, it was only fair that he bought a body immune to diseases and poisons, and it didn't take long for him to find it in the shop. In fact, it was quite easy, he just typed it in the search bar. Wait, there was a search bar?
[Body Defense: 5 Multiversal Credits]
The price… is pretty affordable, right? I wonder if there's a description? Just in case it's something different from what he's imagining.
[Body Defense: You have protection against all diseases, poisons, and targeted radiation. Lethal or disabling afflictions will leave you sick enough to probably stay in bed, unless you really need to move - because you were attacked, for example. Anything less than that will leave you weakened and uncomfortable, but functional. Warning: This advantage does not protect you against injuries nor does it provide any kind of healing factor]
Hmm… this is definitely a perk. Add to cart.
He was determined to buy as many things as he could that would protect him. After all, he still didn't know where he was going, and even after searching, he found nothing for sale that could give him a clue.
Looking at the huge list of things he could buy, he found his second advantage, and its price was the same as the previous one.
[Body Tuning: 5 Multiversal Credits]
[Description: Your body will now be in perfect physical shape and health, with significant muscle growth, within the standards for your species. If you have created a character, the changes will be internal and will not affect the external form]
With another advantage bought, only 70 credits remain…
Huh? Isn't this advantage really good?
[Blessed Talent: 30 Multiversal Credits]
[Description: Fortune and her ilk smile upon you. Higher powers, be they deities, demons, greater elementals, or other spirits, will take a liking to you more quickly than they do other people. Blessings or gifts granted to you will be more powerful or useful, and curses or punishments directed at your enemies will be more effective, varying by how much the specific higher entity likes you compared to who or what you're invoking against]
Buy! Buy! Buy!
This advantage is simply what he needs, and for its price, he found nothing better in the shop. From what he realized, the system counted as a blessing, so all the advantages purchased would become more powerful.
"40 credits remaining…" He thought 100 Credits was a lot, but reality was cruel to him.
Most of the powerful items cost more than 50 credits, and even they seemed to have brutal requirements. See, if he didn't buy any advantages or talents, how could he wield, for example, Excalibur? In the shop, there were dozens of Zanpakutōs, many costing less than 50 credits. But who could guarantee that he would be able to wield these swords?
He almost fell into the trap of buying the Gate of Babylon and was almost erased from existence. So, he wouldn't risk buying a weapon he couldn't use.
Wait! I almost forgot… There's an anime where God created items that help humanity fight against other races… Fuck, that's it!
Leo looked at the list of items in front of him with a smile, he hit the jackpot!
[True Longinus: 60 Multiversal Credits]
[Zenith Tempest: 55 Multiversal Credits]
[Annihilation Maker: 50 Multiversal Credits]
[Dimension Lost: 40 Multiversal Credits]
[Boosted Gear: 35 Multiversal Credits]
[...]
"Kukuku… with a Longinus, things are going to be much easier…" Leo only regretted that he didn't have enough credits to buy the True Longinus. That thing was literally a divine item; with it in hand, becoming the human hero would just be a matter of wanting to.
Anyway, he didn't intend to remove anything from the cart, so he went with the most obvious purchase. And no, he wasn't going with Dimension Lost or Boosted Gear. He was a guy who cared about appearances, and well…
Since he was going to live a new life, it was only fair to farm some aura, right?
[Divine Dividing: 35 Multiversal Credits]
With this Divine Dividing, farming aura was just a matter of wanting to. Fuck red, he was Team White. The only pretty red was Rias Gremory, yeah, she was hot.
Now that he only had 5 Multiversal Credits left, he decided to take a look at the companions. Even if he couldn't have anyone powerful, it would still be good to have someone by his side. Maybe he could have a maid to attend to him? Don't get him wrong, it would just be for domestic chores, yes, that's right… he wouldn't make her clean a low shelf in a short maid outfit while he sat on the couch watching her curves.
Yes, he wouldn't do that…
Returning to the companions section, the smile on his face vanished.
[Raven (DC): 200 Multiversal Credits]
[Emma Frost: 200 Multiversal Credits]
[Shihouin Yoruichi: 100 Multiversal Credits]
[Esdeath: 100 Multiversal Credits]
Damn, why are the women who are his type so expensive?
"Holy shit, even Black Widow is expensive as fuck…" Leo couldn't hold back and cursed out loud.
Alright, the system seemed to know what kind of man I am. In that case, let's look at the non-human companions. Maybe a Pokémon? There's no way a Pikachu is expensive, right?
[Pikachu: 10 Multiversal Credits]
"....." Sighing, Leo gave up on buying a companion and just bought a generic advantage that cost 5 credits.
[Increased Potential: 5 Multiversal Credits]
[Description: Your potential (talent) is increased]
Is that the description? Really…
Anyway, he had been in this empty place for a long time, it was time to start his new life.
"Human hero, huh…"
[It has been detected that the Host has finished shopping…]
[Sending you to the new world…]
[World selected: High School DxD!]
[Good luck!]
Huh? What?! DxD? Seriously?!!!
This… this is fucking awesome!
--x--
a/n:
While I was writing this chapter, I realized I didn't want the main character to get any cheats or powers from outside the DxD world. That's why I didn't give him any items from other universes.
About the perks, well, I was kinda basing them on the Waifu Catalog. I never really got how it works, so I just grabbed some stuff from there and threw it into the story.
Anyway, all suggestions are welcome!
