“Welcome back John. I hope that goodbye was cathartic for your heart.” Alec said to him when he materialized back in DEN.

“It was, it really was. Thank you so much for that Alec.” He replied, grateful for the experience.

“So no more bitching about all our shenanigans we get up to here in DEN okay? This IS a show after all.” The higher being said, gesturing with his glass.

“No promises. So… we left off where?” He asked, forgetting everything that happened earlier after learning he could say goodbye to his kids. 

“Hah, you just got through getting your points for breaking the canon of The Great Cleric. Did you have any questions about the point breakdowns or events that happened?” He said, then made a gesture. The menu popped up in front of John, showing him the list from earlier. 

“What is this ‘Gained the attention of the Adventurer’s Guild and The Recluses Information Network’ thing. I thought I already had the guilds attention.” He asked.

“Not really. You were at most a healer that was cheap and non-biased. But due to multiple things, mainly developing a relationship with Nanaella quickly, you gained ‘The Recluses’ attention. Once that happened, you lost any chance of anonymity, at least if you planned on being with Nanaella anyway.

The original MC had a few things going for him to stay hidden, he was 15, soft spoken, and did nothing but train and heal for years. Mainly training. By the time he was even somewhat close to Nanaella, over a year had gone by and no one bothered investigating his past.”  Alec said, answering him at length.

“But who is this Recluse? Why is he important?” He asked, wanting some clarification on at least one point. He didn’t really care about the rest of the list, it didn’t really mean much to him anyways.

“Well now, I will let you figure that out on your own. Let’s just say you have butted heads with him once or twice.” Alec replied, his greasy smile returning to his face.

“Really? Who did I butt heads with? Bazan? Don’t tell me that meat head is in charge of an information network.” John said, ready to move on now that Alec wasn’t going to actually answer him this time.

“Who knows!  I guess that is one more thing for you to look into when you return there.” 

“Of course it is. Let’s move on Alec.” John said, hitting the ‘Y’ button in front of him.

“Bah, don’t be such a lemon, John. This is just our regularly scheduled nonsense.”

John just shook his head. He wasn’t going to let Alec’s antics ruin his mood.

John stared at the screen for a minute. He had all these points to use, and a broken body that would not let him use them properly. Still, he needed to choose something. 

“Hah… Damn it. Upgrade my Mana again please, then add the remainder into my endurance. I am sick of getting tired so quickly.” He said, making his choice. 

“Well it will definitely help that is for sure, though you still won’t be as tough as you should be until after you fix the rest of your physical ills.” Alec stated. 

“That is fine, I am sure I will eventually get there.” 

[Mana – 40/40% – +]

[ENDURANCE – 25  32 -> 18 22 (Compromised Internal Structure)]

John felt energy course through his body, his breaths coming stronger, his lungs working better than they had in years. “Wow, even with everything else, this feels amazing Alec.”

“Just wait until you fix the rest of your body, the limiters will unlock and you will gain all your old points on top of the new ones you have added.*” Alec said, taking another drink. “Now for the Gatcha draw! Anything catching your eye?”

John looked over the list again, tapping his fingers on the chairs arm. He had nearly twenty thousand to spend and no clue how he should do it.

[Please Choose Your Gatcha]

[Weapons]

[Housing]

[Skills – 1000]

[Ability Points – 10000]

[Eroge – 100]

I could grab a powerful weapon and bring it with me into High School of the Dead. How do I explain how I got it though? Or do I just say magic and start going to town on the Zombies? It would be a way for me to protect everyone though. 

I could grab armour, maybe it will be something like those armours that were in my Vehicle bay in Infinite Frontiers. Or are those considered vehicles?

I have no idea what Clothing or Equipment could be considered good enough to be special tier.

Housing and Vehicles are out, I still haven’t used my car yet.

Ability points maybe? Though it depends on how many there are…

“It’s all a roll of the dice John. I’ll give you two options. A D20- err… a twenty sided die, or six four sided dice.  You can roll the bigger one and get whatever the number of stat points is listed, or roll the four sided ones, and the numbers on each will be added to each of your stats.” 

“So can I can add to my mana if I roll high enough?” He asked, debating on his choice.

“Only with the single die.” Alec said. He then leaned forward in his seat. “John, what do you want become?”

“Pardon?”

“What do you want to become? You are getting healthier, sure, but once you are healthy, what do you want to do with your body?”

“What do you mean? I want to live in it obviously. Was their another option?” John said, not sure exactly what Alec was getting at.

“Right… you know sometimes, for a moment, I forget you have no sweet clue what is going on. It is adorable really. ” He replied. “Do you want to become a powerful warrior? A wise wizard? An unstoppable soldier? Or continue down the path of a healer that you already started? These stats will aid you in every world you go to, but if you don’t choose a focus, you will just become a jack of all trades and a master of none.”

“But often times is better than a master of one.” John replied.

“What?”

“The quote. You didn’t finish it.” He said, actually getting one up on Alec for once. “It means it is usually better to be good at a lot of things than be the best at one thing. I lived my life that way, and it worked out pretty good for me. I see no need to change things up.”

Alec sat there for a few moments, processing what just happened. “So you want to do the six smaller dice?” He said, pretending that John didn’t just correct him. 

“No.” He said, steepling his hands. “I am going to take that twenty sided one. I need more mana. I probably should have held my points earlier but didn’t think of it then.”

“Seriously? You could get some super powerful weapon or armour. Some epic vehicle you could take between worlds.” Alec said, confused at John’s choice. 

“Yeah, and I could also get something that I can barely use because my body isn’t working right. What good is an epic weapon that I cannot wield? Just because you put Excalibur in my hands, doesn’t mean I am a swordsman. And if I end up with some gun with recoil, or that bike from StarCraft, I am screwed right now. Magic though, that I am beginning to understand.” John replied, giving his reasoning. 

He would get more tokens as time goes on, no need to get some crazy weapon yet. Hell, he still had five more doors to open.

“Fine. Here ya go, give it a roll.” Alec said, tossing John a dice the size of a baseball. It did indeed have twenty sides to it.

“Here I go.” He said, then threw the die on the table beside him. It rolled around, then fell off the table, rolling under his chair. 

“Umm… whoops.” John said, getting up to grab it.

“Don’t worry about it. Here.” Alec said, floating the die up from under the chair.  “You rolled a twelve**. That will let you go one more level for mana, leaving you two points remaining.”

“Do that and add those two points in reflex please.” John said, sitting back down. 

[Mana – 50/50% – +]

[REFLEX – 22 24 -> 16 17 (Compromised Internal Structure)]

“Well that leaves you with 9225 tokens John. What is your plan?”

“Give me two skills, one high tier weapon and armour,  five in eroge, and two spell scrolls.” John said decisively. The special tier was too pricy, but the high tiers were just right. 

“That will leave you with 2525 tokens. Are you sure?” Alec asked him. 

“Yeah, lets do it Alec! I am getting excited.” John said, hitting the spin button that was flashing on his screen.  His eyes lit up as the skills started spinning by. 

The music picked up again, lights flashing, and then John remembered what happened last time. He got up and stood next to Alec.

“What are you doing?” The higher being asked him.

“Insurance. I am not getting gooped alone. You also threatened me with literal shit.” John said, sitting down on the side of Alec’s chair. “You and me are in this together big boy.”

Before Alec could reply, the wheel stopped, and a balloon materialized in front of them, quivering in the air for a second before it exploded, covering them both in some weird black goop. A rain of feathers came down on them, sticking to both their bodies.

“Congratulations, you have acquired the Mid Tier skill, Animal Husbandry – Adept. Your dreams of running your own dairy farm are within reach! Congratulations, you have acquired the Low Tier Skill, Gardening – Novice. After much trial and error, you managed to not kill all your plants this year.”  

“I kind of hate you right now.” Alec said, flicking his fingers, trying to get the sticky substance off his hands.

“I know you do Alec.” John said, a shit eating grin on his face. Nothing would get him down today.

After a quick commercial break and another round of cleaning curtesy of Xiaolin and her crotch massage cleaning service, they continued the show. 

“How will those skills help me with anything in gaining power?” John asked while the next wheel was spinning, many different guns and weapons looping around. 

“They probably won’t” Alec said. They were sitting in their normal seats, Alec assuring John that there were no more surprises. “But you never know when something will come in useful. That dig skill worked pretty well didn’t it?”

“I suppose.” He replied. He might need them in High School of the Dead, but that would only be once they get out of the city. For the rest of the worlds he had visited, he didn’t see any apparent use for them.

The wheel slowed down, landing on a sword. Suddenly in his hand, a blade materialized. Its was nearly as long as his katana but was straight, with two edges and a fuller going down the middle of the blade. A wide guard made it look like a typical western longsword. The hilt was engraved with the word ‘Truth’.

“Congratulations, you have won the High Tier weapon – The Sword of Truth. A magical weapon that will cut anything that the bearer deems the enemy. Delve into the secrets of this weapon over time and become the true master of this blade.”

“Jeeze… this thing… I know this weapon.” John said in awe. He read the book this weapon was from several times… nearly thirty years ago. “But for the life of me I can only remember a few things about this story.”

“Well, the short version is it is a terribly powerful weapon, and will cause a lot of backlash if used incorrectly. If you master it though, you may never need another melee weapon in any world you will go to.” Alec said, then looked at John. “Actually, you might have the requirements to master that blade naturally.”

“What do you mean by backlash?” he asked, now very concerned with the weapon he was holding.

“You will find out John. Just…be sure of whatever you kill with that weapon that they deserve it.” Alec replied. “Shall we continue?”

“What is wrong Alec? It is like you are trying to rush me out of here today. Normally you have a bunch of quips and remarks you throw at me. You seem rather… tame today.” 

“I am letting you off the hook today. You just had a rather emotional meeting after all. Feathers and goo aside, I would think that you would be happy I didn’t completely rain on your parade.” The higher being replied, pouring himself another drink. “Besides, there are so many draws, if I kept tossing crap at you, we would be here all day.” 

“Fine. Spin us some armour please.”

Spin, lights, confetti cannon and trumpets. “Congratulations, you have won the High Tier armour, Saber’s Armour. This armour is a true replica of the heroine Blue Saber, Artoria Pendragon, with high defensive stats across the board.”

John blinked. “Armour for a woman?” The grey and blue armour was floating in front of him, and all he could think of was if a Victorian dress was made out of steel, this is what it would look like. 

“Not secure enough in your masculinity to wear a dress John?” Alec said, his grin returning.

“Ahh, there he is. Now this feels like a visit to DEN.” 

“Just roll your Eroge, old man.”

“Gladly.” John replied, hitting the button.

Spin, flashing lights, bagpipes and a banjo playing Big Balls.

“Congratulations, you have acquired ‘Increased ejaculate volume’. You will now release larger loads when you cum (5 ml -> 10 ml)”

“Congratulations, you have acquired repaired L2 disc. Your back is now slightly better, but be careful, you still have two weak disc”

“Congratulations, you have acquired the skill, Refractory Period – Novice. You now can get it back up again, and again. You just need a little time.” 

“Congratulations, you have acquired the skill, Fortified Sperm. Your swimmers are stronger and will stay viable for longer. A must for anyone looking to begin a family.”

“Congratulations, you have acquired ‘Increased testicle girth’. 1 cm added to the circumference of your testicles.”

John felt a shift in his body, his back hurting less, and his balls feeling heavier. He adjusted himself in his seat, making himself comfortable again. “You know, the sex stuff is fun and all, but seriously, only repairing one disc? How much do you enjoy watching me suffer?”

“A lot. You can spin again if you want, maybe you will get lucky?” Alec replied, completely back to normal now. 

“Right… sounds like a good way to waste four thousand tokens and get nothing but a bigger dick out of it.” He sighed. He just knew they would keep stringing him along, no matter how much he spent at one time.

“You don’t want it much bigger John. Seven inches is more than enough to bottom out in most women. You won’t literally rearrange their guts, but I am sure they will be more than satisfied with that size. Not to mention your girth.”

“Ah ah ah ah… I am done talking about this. Just give me my two spells, see what I get.” 

Spin, lights, the theme song for the original spiderman playing.

“Congratulations, you have acquired the spell scroll ‘Spider Climb’. For ten minutes you will be able to climb on nearly any surface, even upside down.”

“Congratulations, you have acquired the spell scroll ‘Flame Wall’ For five minutes, a wall of flame ten meters long, three meters high, and two meters deep will form in front of you, burning anything trying to pass through. Caution, if it is casted around flammable materials, the fire will continue to burn after the spell has expired.

“Those seem pretty useful.” John mused, taking the two scrolls that materialized in front of him and stuffing them in his bag. He looked at the armour, not knowing what to do with it.

“Here.” Alec said, snapping his fingers. The armour shrunk down, becoming a small figurine of a blonde woman wearing the armoured dress. “Just channel your mana into it like you would a car or house and it will expand to normal size. It will only work once though.”

“Thanks… saves me from worrying about it. Not sure what I am going to do with it though.” He replied, stuffing the figure into his bag and hoisting it on his shoulder. 

“Didn’t you just have a party member have her set of armour destroyed defending you? This could make an… interesting gift.”

John thought about it, but he wasn’t sure if the Frostbear would even fit in the armour, not to mention it looked like a dress. He would have to think about it.

“Alright Alec, I’m off. See if I can break the canon of another world and make a place I can return to once in awhile to rest.”

“Good Luck John. We will see you soon!”

John walked over to the Green door, the police tape long gone. He took one glance at the white door, swearing he would return again once he got stronger, then stepped through.

Back into the world of High School of the Dead. 

* – I will be recovering all the points he spent before to add too his max numbers eventually. Don’t worry about him getting OP from this, this will all still be within a normal ‘fit’ persons abilities.   

** – I rolled a 12, after I rolled the d20 off the table and under my chair.
