A/N: Hey, sorry for not saying anything for about three weeks, but due to some personal things and others involving stories, It's been sort of rough keeping a schedule with Fate of a Gamer.
As such, I manage to whip this together in the span of a few days so I can actually give all of you something to read.

Now, at the moment this is a One Shot, but if people like it enough I might make more chapters of it, not too sure.

As for Fate of a Gamer, that story will be on Hiatus for the mean time, as I'm working through all previous chapters to do rewrites of them to increase the over all quality.

And as for that other story I talked about, progress has been slow due to having to write Fate of a Gamer. But at the latest I'll allow myself to write and proof read it is up to the end of December.

I hope you understand that I can't do all of this at once, and it'll take time to do so, but but new years, things should return to normal with my uploads.

Chapter 1:The Land of Illusions

Honestly, after being abandoned in a forest and left for dead, the last thing he didn't think would happen is appearing in a black void in a chair at a table.

'Is this the afterlife...?' he thought to himself before a white haired woman appears in the chair on the other side of the table, scaring him slightly.

"Oh, my apologise. I forget Human's are easily frightened." he looks at the woman for a moment before speaking, "Am I dead?" he asked bluntly, making the woman sweat-drop slightly.

"Well... Yes and no. Allow me to explain." she coughs slightly into her hand and waves her other, making two cups of tea appear on the table, "Have a drink, this may take awhile."

He shrugs and takes a sip, it actually tasted pretty good despite him not being a tea kind of person.

"Well, I should probably begin with how you ended up here. You see, I am a... Goddess of sorts, and I manage a place called Gensokyo from the shadows, making sure balance is kept in their. Gensokyo is a-" "Land of fantasy where humans and Youkai coexist." she stares at him for a moment before speaking, "How...?"

"You're a goddess, right? What do you know about 'The Touhou Project'?" the woman thinks for a moment before before her eyes widen, "You certainly know quite abit about it, more often then not, when one goes to Gensokyo through me, they know nothing about this, but I can't interact with the outside world, so I had no idea this existed until now."

He nods, "Yeah, that makes sense. Well, you know you don't really need to explain Gensokyo to me, so how about how I got here?" the woman nods, "Well, you died, but not fully." she sighs at the confused expression on his face.

"In order to save your life, I turned you into a Half-Youkai." he nods, "So... I died for a moment, but came back as a Half-Youkai?" he gets a nod from the woman, making him understand what happened.

"And I'm guessing after reviving me, you picked me up and placed me here to have a talk?" getting another nod.

"Yes, now for the main part, since you are Half-Youkai, you can't go back to the outside world, as you know we keep the fact Youkai actually exist a secret, and most hide out in Gensokyo. So I will be moving you to Gensokyo, most likely permanently."

While he was upset about not being able to go home, he didn't have anyone who he'd overly miss, as his family forgot him in the forest where he died.

Thinking about that, he speaks up, "Wait, if I'm Half-Youkai, what kind of Youkai is that half?"

"Oh, Shinigami."

...

"I'm half Death God?" he didn't know much, but understood the basis of Shinigami's guiding souls to the afterlife after death, and that people are afraid of them since they think seeing one will kill them.

"Technically, yes, but thankfully, you are not under the order full Shinigami's are, and can choose not to do your job. Also, I may of, by accident of course, given you the Hourai Elixir, so you're immortal." he sighs, just his luck too...

"You sound displeased at being immortal...?" he shrugs, "Well, if I'm immortal - guessing that also includes not ageing - then the humans will see me in an odd light and would be uncomfortable around me, like what happened to Rinnosuke, so staying in the human village for safety is already out of the question."

The woman thinks for a moment before nodding, "Yes, that does sound bad when you think about it like that..."

He leans back and takes another sip of the tea, it was starting to grow on him, "First, what tea is this? This is possibly the only tea I like, so I'd like to have more. Second, being immortal isn't all that bad, there are alot of immortals in Gensokyo, so I doubt I'll get too depressed about outliving people, plus I can just hang out with Mokou and Kaguya if I get too bored, I got an eternity to kill time with anyways. And thirdly, if I'm immortal by the Hourai Elixir, did I get all three taste of it?"

The woman thinks for a moment, "The tea is a special blend only gods can make, but I may be able to pull some strings to get you a supply of it, if you wish." He nods while saying 'Please do.'

"And I can see the point to the second one, and to your other question, you got all three taste of the Hourai Exlixir, making you completely immortal." he nods once more while sighing, so that meant he could never die.

'Probably will meet one of the other Hourai Immortals in my time in Gensokyo, I got forever to do it.' he stretches.

"And now, as I said, I am the goddess that helps maintain balance in Gensokyo, and well... there is almost no powerful males, so when I found you on the border of the barrier, I kind of too the opportunity."

...

He facepalms, "Are you fucking serious...?" the reason he was revived and became immortal was because a goddess wanted a man to have some sort of power in Gensokyo.

"Well, considering one of the more powerful males is fucking Rinnosuke, I can understand that imbalance thing, but I'm kind of piss this is what I was revived for." the goddess bows to him slightly.

"My apologise, I had suspected you would react like that, so I decided I will give you any two Innate abilities you want, you will have your abilities as a Shinigami still, and the ability to learn and use magic, but you can pick any two abilities you want." he nods, that seemed acceptable...

And he was already thinking on how he can break the system without the goddess realising the power she'll give him.

"Well, first of all, and this is just for my own personal preference, I want a version of the Gamer, but I don't want stuff like levels and stat points, I want it so I can keep track of my strength and abilities in magic and my other Innate ability."

Being about to keep track of so many things easily would lessen the training time, since he'd know what needs training.

"Ah, so... 'Seeing the World as a Game'?" He nods, "Yeah, let's go with that as the abilities name." and now he needed to pick his next words carefully, cause if he gets this, then he will, with time, become the strongest being in Gensokyo.

"And for my second ability, I was thinking something along the lines that can help me learn skills, in a way that, if I befriend someone, I have the ability to learn some of their skills, I'm not sure how I can explain it better, But I hope that is enough info?"

The woman stares at him for a moment, and he managed to keep a smile on his face, but he was nervous she figured him out, but after abit, she nods, "Alright, 'Mimicry of Skills' with the limit you have to befriend the person with the skill in order to do it?"

He nods, "Yeah, that sounds perfect." the woman nods before his visions start to get brighter, "Have fun in Gensokyo. And if you see Yukari, tell her Ami said 'Hi'."

And after that, he blinks and finds himself on a road, he looked around, and also stole a glance at the sun, it seemed to be rising, so he was facing north at the moment, he could see Youkai Mountain, and decided to walk East along the road.

'If I'm right, this should lead my to the Human village, I'll just say I'm a human from the outside world for now until I get situated.' he sighs before muttering the word 'Status'.

Well, that would be helpful, Ami - he believed that was the goddesses name anyways, probably gave it to him so he can become stronger.

He closes the panel and opens another one by muttering 'skills'.

[None]

He knew he didn't have friends, no need to rub it in game.

He looks ahead and realises he was about to reach the human village, so he closes the panels as to not look weird looking at invisible floating objects.

He walks to the gate and is greeted by a rather friendly villager, "Hey, welcome to the village Outsider-san." Akira smiles at the man, "Thanks for the welcome, But I'm no outsider, just back from vacation." might as well put up a front he was here before, he was immortal, so for all they know he could of been around before Gensokyo was even a thing.

"Ah, you went to the outside world? Bring anything interesting back? Rinnosuke might want to have a look at anything you got." That actually made Akira think, he had no use for his Smartphone, since he couldn't charge it reliably, so maybe a visit to Rinnosuke and getting some money to buy a room for a few nights would be a good idea.

"Yeah, I'll go see him abit later, just to make sure, he still runs Kourindou, right? Just outside the Forest of Magic?" the human nods with a smile, "Yep, he still runs the shop, I think I saw that witch going to see him about something awhile ago."

'Quest gained...' "Oh? A Witch you say? That may be interesting." he walks off before the human could say anything else, he was actually surprised that he'll probably meet Marisa at the same time as getting some cash.

He walks through the village while browsing around, there were a few stores where he'd probably come back to once he had some cash, namely a clothing store and the school Keine worked at, it might be interesting to meet with her.

He continues and sees the stone path to the Hakurei Shrine, but takes a left and goes along the dirt path that led to Kourindou.

Once he gets there, he walks inside and see's Marisa and Rinnosuke talking about an item Marisa brought in, Rinnosuke turns to him and smiles, "Oh, an outsider?" Akira shrugs and doesn't bother to correct him.

"Hey, I was told I can come here to sell off anything of value from the outside world." Rinnosuke smiles at him, "Alright, do you mind waiting while I finish this transaction? Have a look around while I do so." Akira nods and begins to look around at some of the stuff laying around the place.

'Hmm... There's not alot of stuff of interest, but that may be because I don't have Rinnosuke's ability to Identify the name and utility of items.' that would definitely be a good ability to have.

After abit, the blond witch named Marisa comes over to him, "Hey, you seem pretty chill for someone inside a land of Youkai-Ze." he laughs lightly, "Oh, that's only because I'm half Youkai myself, so I don't need to fear them attacking me." Marisa seemed intrigued by this, so she began questioning him about stuff, which he only gives half answers to stuff he understands.

Rinnosuke comes around, "Okay Marisa-san, I think you bugged the customer enough, why don't you leave while I handle this?" Marisa seemed slightly down but agreed.

Akira speaks up, "Hey, I shouldn't take too long, so how about you wait for me outside and we can continue talking?" Marisa seemed happy about that and left in more of a hurry.

You've gained Marisa Kirisame as a friend
Progress: [2%]

Oh, that seemed interesting, but let's focus on that later.

"So, what's this item you wanted to sell?" Rinnosuke asked, Akira pulls out his Smartphone and handed it to him, "It's a smartphone, while it's usability will be limited in Gensokyo, it can still allow one to keep notes, track the days, time, and there's even some games on there to play."

"Back in the outside world, these usually cost around 36,300 Yen, but since the main appeal of being able to contact over a long distance wouldn't be available here, the price would probably go down to around 15,000 or 20,000."

Rinnosuke nods along, "Well, while I can't give you that much money, how about I give you 10,000 Yen and an item or two?" Akira nods, that would be good enough for him.

He looks around for some items while Rinnosuke got the money out for him, he didn't know much about most of these items, but he did see a set of gloves that interested him, so he picked them up and took them to Rinnosuke.

"Hmm, ah, those things. They presumably make using magic easier, but it's only really useful for beginners, so no one really wants them."

Akira decides to take them, since they would be useful for awhile at least, he take his money and puts it in his inventory while Rinnosuke wasn't looking before he heads out to see Marisa waiting, "Heyo!" he waves at Marisa while putting the gloves on.

He casually talks with Marisa while walking up to the Hakurei Shrine, seemed like she was going to see Reimu and she was bringing him along for the ride.

"Oi Reimu! I got someone I want you to meet-Ze!" Oh, that was interesting, what's the progress on Marisa's friendship he wondered.

Marisa Kirisame: [8.24%]

Wow, that was going faster then he thought it would, but it's probably because Marisa is pretty friendly with alot of people.

Reimu on the other hand...

"Marisa, who is that?" Reimu came out with an annoyed expression on her face...

'Should I donate to the shrine to get on her good side?' it was an honest way of getting on the Hakurei Shrine maiden's good side, but he wasn't sure if this Gensokyo had Fandom knowledge or was strictly Canon only, if so, that option was out the window.

He waves at her, "Hello there, I'm Akira Seiryo." he smiles kindly at the Shrine Maiden, getting a lazy wave from her, "Hey, Reimu Hakurei, The Hakurei Shrine Maiden. Marisa, can you tell me why you brought a man to the shrine? Do I need to worry about what you two will do later?"

Marisa blushes and stutters out a retort that they were no where near that close, while Akira violently coughs as he got some spit down the wrong hole.

"R-R-Reimu!" Marisa whined after abit while Akira finally recovered, he may be immortal, but dear god he doesn't want to choke to death only for his body to reform.

"Anyways, you look like an outsider, I'm guessing you want me to send you out of Gensokyo?" Reimu asked as she walked up to them, Akira laughs slightly, "Uh... Actually no, I'm Half-Youkai. So I'm in Gensokyo to take up permanent residences."

Reimu nods, and looks around him, "What kind of Half-Youkai are you?" Marisa looked at him, as he didn't tell her at all.

"Oh, Shinigami, Or at least that's that Ami said when she sent me here." he raises his hand and thinks the words 'Reaper's Scythe', only for a normal looking scythe to appear in his hand.

"Ah, that works." he says while Reimu looks at the scythe before nodding, "Well, you are an actually Shinigami. You here in Gensokyo to do your job then?" Akira shakes his head while letting the Scythe disappear.

"No, as I'm only half Shinigami, while I'm allowed to do my job as one, I don't have an obligation to do so. So I'm probably going to explore Gensokyo and meet the other residents for the time being." he answers with a smile.

Reimu nods, "Just don't cause any Incidents. I have enough to deal with as is." Marisa and Reimu talk for awhile and he pitches in every now and then, after about an hour the two left.

He checked the progress on the friendship between the two.

Reimu Hakurei: [6.23%]

Marisa Kirisame: [12.62%] [+]

There was an odd plus symbol next to Marisa's progress bar, he wondered what that was, when Marisa wasn't looking he tapped it and got a pop up.

Due to advancing your friendship with [Marisa Kirisame], you've gained the skill [Flight]

[Flight - Active - LV1 0.00%]
Allows the user to fly around by using magic.
Speed: 1 km/h
Cost: 100 MP/m

Oh, that was useful, but that took more MP then he regenerated, so he couldn't fly forever, but he had at least 12 minutes of flight, and he believed in the fact that you can get anywhere in Gensokyo within an hour with flight, so he'd need to train to go for that long.

"Hey, you any good at Magic-Ze?" he laughs slightly, "Ah, I'm not the best out there, I'm not even too good at flying." Marisa looked apprehensive at that, "Then, how about I teach you some stuff I know? After abit we'll have a Danmaku battle."

Oh... fuck.

So, after about two hours of training, and managing to learn magic by getting Marisa's friendship progress to 15%, he gulps down as he was now in the air, while he wasn't scared of heights, he wasn't keen on the idea of floating in the sky.

"You ready, Akira?" he tries to calm down and summons his Reaper's Scythe, since he got used to launching Danmaku bullets with it.

Apparently, Danmaku bullets only cost around 1 to 5 MP each blast, since they were meant to be non-lethal, most of the 4 to 5 MP are just incredibly sparse in the MP placement, so he didn't need to worry about running out of MP too soon.

'I probably only have around 7 to 8 minutes before I run out of MP, so I'll need to be smart about my bullet placement.' he nods, signalling he was ready, Marisa grins before firing a barrage of Danmaku at him, he flies upwards to avoid a majority of it, but still had to move left or right to avoid a stay bullet or two.

She shot another barrage at him, but something surprised her about what he was doing, he flew straight at her while dodging bullets, once he was about five meters away he charged a Danmaku wave in his scythe and swings downwards, forcing Marisa to dodge to the side, while spinning from the swing, he aims his palm at her and releases his own barrage of Danmaku.

She manages to dodge easily, but only because he was trying to conserve MP so he does plummet to the ground at terminal velocity, cause that would be painful.

They kept going back and forth until a Danmaku bullet hits Akira in the chest, knocking the wind out of him, and he just so happened to run out of MP, so guess what happened next?

"Oh fuck!" he plummets to the ground, and couldn't gather enough MP to fly for even a moment, he was Marisa flying towards him with a worried expression, but he lost sight of her as he entered the tree line of the Forest of magic.

He hit the ground head first, at least he died instantly.

Marisa flew down just in time to see Akira's body dissipate and reforms in a form of blood mist with darkness involved.

"Akira... What was that...?" he looks at her before laughing nervously.

"Um... I believe you know about the Hourai Elixir?" Marisa's eyes widen, "You're immortal?" he nods, while moving his neck to crack out the kinks, "Whoo... Dying isn't fun at all. At least I don't feel the pain after reforming. Still stiff though." that was weird, even if he had the Hourai Elixir, pain still persisted after death, since it was the only way someone could beat Mokou.

He sighs, "Well, I got hit at the end there, and even died, so I guess the win goes to you, eh Marisa-san?" he smiles, while Marisa did feel bad about killing him, if only for a moment, she was happy he didn't hold it against her.

"Um, to make up for it, how about we go get something to eat, my treat?" He looked surprised, but nods never the less, "Sure, but just so you know, I'm not gonna force you to pay for my own food, I'll pay for it myself."

Marisa nods before they wait for a moment, letting his MP recover enough so they can fly to the human village to go to a restaurant.

It was actually getting sort of late, as in the sun was starting to set in the distance, he got here before midday, just how long had he been here already? 7 to 8 hours by now if he had to guess, he still doesn't know where all of that excess time went.

Time... Alright, next objective is locating the Scarlet Devil Manson and try (and probably fail) to befriend Sakuya, she was one of his favorite characters in Touhou, right behind Yukari and Utsuho.

He just realised he doesn't know how to get to Former Hell. He knew it was underground, but he didn't know where that Geyser was to enter it, or where any other entrances to Former Hell were.

He knew Yukari lived on the border between Gensokyo and The Outside World, so if he wanted to meet her, she'd probably be at the Hakurei shrine, or become powerful enough to gain her attention... Which he wasn't sure was a good second option.

They land in the human village to go to a restaurant, Marisa didn't seem to happy to be here, but she was enjoying the food.

"Hey, Marisa?" he speaks up, making her look at him while taking a bite out of a chicken wing she had, which confused him, since he didn't see any chickens of any kind around here, "Yeah, Akira? What's up?"

"I don't mean to pry, but you seem rather uncomfortable, if you want, we can leave?" he asked her, making Marisa stiff for a moment before speaking, "What? No~ I'm not uncomfortable. It's just that I haven't been here in awhile, so it's just abit weird for me, that's all."

He nods, and doesn't pry any further, if he remembers correctly, her father ran a second hand shop in the human village, and she wasn't on good terms with him, so maybe that was why she seemed stiff.

They finish eating in peace before leaving, "So... Since you're new to Gensokyo, I'm guessing you don't have a place to stay?"

He shrugs, "I was just gonna use the money I got from my trade with Rinnosuke to buy a room at an Inn for tonight before looking for a more permanent residence." Marisa thinks for a moment, "Hey, how about you stay at my place? I feel like you'd like the Forest of Magic, and you wouldn't need to spend your money."

He scratches the back of his head, "Well, I wouldn't want to impose on you, besides, I can take care of myself. Mostly..." he mutters that last part low enough she doesn't hear it.

"Oh, it's fine! I have a guest room anyways, so it'll be no problem." he sighs, "Alright if you insist..." they decide to walk, as it wasn't that far until the edge of the Forest of Magic, and he wanted to go talk to Rinnosuke, since he asked Marisa and found that she didn't have a map of Gensokyo at home.

With Rinnosuke being... Rinnosuke, Akira assumed he'd have a map of Gensokyo, which he surprisingly did, that was gonna be a boon to travelling when not with Marisa.

It wasn't complete, some locations like the Scarlet Devil Manor and Eientei weren't on there, same with Alice's and Marisa's house, so he just assumed those weren't there as to respect the privacy of the residents of those places.

He gives Rinnosuke about 1,000 Yen for the map, after the meal and that purchase he only had around 7,800 Yen on him.

They fly the rest of the way to Marisa's house, and once there, he stares in awe/disgust at the amount of vines growing on the place.

"Is it meant to be like that...?" he says while gesturing to the vines, "Hm, oh, yeah it is." he sighs, he just hoped it was better on the inside.

Once inside, he sighs as thankfully, it was cleaner on the inside, after getting a short tour of the place, they hang out for abit, but after about an hour they go to separate rooms, Marisa to her bedroom and Akira to the guest room.

Marisa went to sleep, but Akira went out, it was night time, so he decides to fly around the Youkai Forest by Misty Lake, namely so he can practice flight by dodging Danmaku from lesser Youkai, which was pretty easy to do so, and he also practiced his magic by shooting a few down.

After about two hours, he decides to fly back to Marisa's house and finally goes to sleep.

When he wakes up, he wasn't expecting to be woken up by Marisa tackling him to the bed, "Wake up sleepy head!" he sighs before sitting up straight, he didn't wear a shirt to bed, so Marisa turned away after seeing his top half naked.

He looks down, still tired from just waking up, "Oh, my bad. Let me go get my shirt." he stands up and puts on the plain white T-shirt he had yesterday.

'Yeah, I'm gonna need to buy more clothes so I can actually wash this stuff.' he sighs before turning to Marisa, "So, does the witch have anything planned for today?"

Marisa, seemingly forgetting about the fact he was shirtless a moment ago thinks, "Well, I don't really have anything planned, you got anything?" he shrugs, "I heard there are others here who drank the Hourai Elixir. So I do want to see my fellow immortals."

Marisa nods, "So you want to meet Kaguya and Mokou? I haven't known them personally for long, but I know where Eientei is if we're flying in from above." Akira nods before the two set out.

Marisa looks at him oddly, "are you faster at flying then before?" Akira looks at the ground, pretending to just now realise it was moving past him much faster then before, and just shrugs to Marisa.

After about a 30 minute flight, they were above the Bambo forest that surrounded Eientei, and Marisa was trying to remember if it was to the right or left where they needed to land.

After five minutes of debate, the two land right outside the main gate to Eientei.

And they saw Mokou agruing with Kaguya, as the two were in a heated argument at the moment.

And now they were throwing Danmaku at each other.

Akira turns to Marisa, "Should we come at a later time?" Marisa shrugs before noticing Eirin looking at them oddly, "Marisa, who is the boy? You're boyfriend perhaps?"

Once again, Marisa denied it while stuttering, while Akira choked on his own spit again.

After recovering, Akira speaks up, "Hello there, I'm Akira Seiryo. I wanted to come and meet with the two immortals of this forest, but I see that they're busy. Should I come back later?" he asked politely, making Eirin glance up at the two, Mokou was on four deaths, Kaguya on three.

"It might be for the best if you just wait, these two normally take about an hour to finish once they start." Akira sighs, but Eirin wasn't done, "I haven't seen you before, did Marisa-san tell you about Lady Kaguya and Mokou-san?"

He shakes his head, "Kinda, I didn't know their names, but I knew there were two Hourai Elixir drinkers around here, just my luck I find both of them killing each other multiple times." he looks at Mokou's body reforming, that was the seventh death she had in the span of three minutes.

"I see, why are you interested in them?" Eirin seemed curious about it, so Akira decided to be honest, he wasn't hiding the fact he was immortal anyways, "Oh, just wanted to meet fellow immortals, that's all."

Eirin looks at him oddly, so he decides to clarify, "I'm also a drinker of the Hourai Elixir, got the full three tastes of it too. Complete immortality." Eirin looked rather surprised, but didn't ask how he got a hold of the Elixir.

So Eirin decides to make tea for the two while they watch the two immortals go at it, after about an hour before they stopped, "I'll get you next time, Kaguya!" as Mokou was about to fly off, Eirin called out to both of them, "Lady Kaguya, Mokou-san. Could you both come down here?"

Mokou grunts in an annoyed fashion while flying down towards the three spectators while Kaguya did the same.

"Yes Eirin, what is it?" Kaguya looked at Marisa and Akira, "Oh, hello Marisa, I didn't know you were visiting. And who's this? You're boyfriend?"

For the third time in the last twenty four hours, the two both denied it violently.

"Oh, that's a shame. So who are you?" Akira was about to introduce himself, but Eirin speaks up before he could, "His name is Akira Seiryo. And he came here in hopes of meeting the both of you, as just like you, he has also taking the Hourai Elixir." the two immortals look at him in mild shock.

"So you're immortal like us? Well then, nice to meet ya, Akira." Mokou walks forward and offers a handshake, she was oddly kind, maybe because he was the only immortal male, but he didn't think too much about it as he raised his hand to shake the girl whom embodies a Phoenix's hand.

"Nice to meet you too..." "Ah, Fujiwara no Mokou, just call me Mokou though." he nods, "Nice to meet you Mokou." Just then Kaguya butts in and pushes Mokou to the side, "And I'm Kaguya Houraisan, a pleasure to meet you, Akira."

Now, he could understand Mokou being nice to another immortal, but Kaguya was a spoiled child, and wouldn't be this nice normally, but he wouldn't bring it up.

You've gained Fujiwara no Mokou as a friend
Progress: [24%]

You've gained Kaguya Houraisan as a friend
Progress: [14%]

...

What...?

He was pretty sure that was abit too fast to become good enough friends that, at the same level Marisa invited him to sleep at her place.

'I should probably be concerned about the fact two immortals are quickly starting to like me abit too much.' it didn't help that the two immortals would often fight and kill each other, he didn't want to get caught up in that chaos.

He decides to stay around Eientei while talking with Mokou, Kaguya and Marisa, while Eirin seemed abit distance from him, he did at least have 4% with her.

And he was really scared at the thank of how quickly both Mokou and Kaguya's progress on his skill were going, for crying out loud Mokou's was already at 43%!

"So, Akira. Where are you staying at the moment?" Kaguya asked calmly, while Mokou was trying to hide her interest in his answer.

"Ah, actually, I don't have a place to call my own, Marisa-san here was kind enough to let me crash at her place while I search for a more permanent residence."

Kaguya instantly smiles, "Oh, then how about living in Eientei? We coul-" "Now hold it right there, Kaguya." Mokou interrupted her, "Are you planning on keeping him all to yourself? Are you serious?!" Akira was now deeply confused while Kaguya laughs.

"Why, you simply aren't brave enough to take an opportunity when you see one." Kaguya said coolly, "What? He's not an object you can just take!" after a moment he realised what was going on, the two were fighting over him.

'Let's hope this works...' he clears his throat, getting the attention of the two immortals and anyone nearby.

"Could you two please not fight?" he gives them a kind smile, which managed to make the two blush considerably, Mokou more then Kaguya, and they sit down and kept quiet.

Literally everyone looked at Akira in shock at the fact he managed to stop the two immortals from fighting with only six words.

"Now, I'm sure you two have very good reasons to... so violently hate each other, and I won't try to stop you two from it either. But all I ask is that while we're at least talking that you two don't go into a shouting match, is that okay?"

The two nod, so he decides to continue, "Alright, and I'm sorry Kaguya-san, but I don't want to rely on anyone more then I'd need to, so I'll probably either have a house commissioned or build one myself. When I do either of those, I'll be sure to let the two of you know, is that okay?" they nod.

He noticed Eirin's mildly shocked expression, and she catch him looking at him, so he just shrugs, while he was being nice, he didn't know why the two were reacting this way.

Eirin seemed to instantly facepalm when he shrugged, only confusing him more.

"W-well, How about I have some of the Rabbits of Eientei to help you with the construction?" Akira thinks for a moment before smiling, "I'm not sure where I want to live for the moment, as I'm rather new to Gensokyo, so it may take awhile for me to decide. But I do appreciate the offer, and I'll take you up on it when the time comes."

She nods they talk for abit more and for some reason, and thankfully, the progress on their percentage stopped at 50%.

Marisa's went up abit, and so did Eirin, and while he didn't talk with Reisen much, he got 5% with her.

Once they left, Marisa didn't seem to want to talk to him, so he decides to start a conversation.

"Hey Marisa, you doing okay?" Marisa looks at him as the exit the Bamboo forest with the guide of Tewi.

"No, I'm perfectly fine." she didn't sound fine at all, she sounded abit mad and upset.

He decides to try one more time before stopping, "If there's something wrong, then you can tell me. I'm your friend, right?" that seemed to hit her with some guilt for some reason.

"I... Give me some time. Ze?" he nods, he understood that people needed time to think things through, after all, he wasn't an idiot.

At least he didn't think he was.

The two flew back to the Forest of Magic and Marisa went to her home, "Hey, I'm gonna go out to train my flying skills and magic, so I hope you can work through what ever it is that's upset you while I'm gone." He goes a weak nod from Marisa before he heads out.

He flies out of the forest, he wanted to practice his flying but he had an actual reason for going.

He was going to go to the Human village and visit the book store, the Suzunaan.

He walks inside to see a young girl with red eyes, light red hair and twintails adorned with bells, he waves at her politely, "Hello there, I'm Akira Seiryo, and I was wondering if you had any interesting books to help train ones mind?" the girl looks at him.

This was actually one of the many people he didn't know about in The Touhou Project, but she seemed nice.

"Hi there, I'm Kosuzu Motoori, it's nice to meet you Akira-san." she says cheerfully, "And books for training the mind? Like a math book?"

"Hmm... Not quite, I'm looking for something abit more difficult then simple math questions. Do you have anything on science? And if possible, another on philosophy?"

She looked at him weirdly, but didn't say anything as she was being polite to her customer, "That'll be 2,500 Yen for the week."

he flinches slightly, but still gives her the money, they barely knew each other, so trying to get a discount would only hurt the threads of friendship they had.

He only had 5,300 Yen left over... He'd need to find a job to get an income.

'Well, let's see... Scarlet Devil Mansion, I'd be a butler for Flandre knowing my luck if they figure out about my immortality. I know abit about technology and coding... The Kappa's are far more adept at that though, so that's a no go. Hmm... would I get paid for exterminating troublesome Youkai? Maybe I should ask Marisa how she gets money for everythi- right, she's a kleptomaniac.'

He sighs while walking out of the store with the two books he had, he didn't think there was a stable and safe job outside of the human village, and after a decade of not ageing they would be uncomfortable around him.

'Well, I could always get a job at Eientei, no idea what that'd entail though, but Kaguya would probably give me one if I asked nicely.' that was actually looking like his best option right now, but he was just there, so maybe he'll go and ask about it tomorrow or the day after.

For now, he was exploring the land around the human village, and spread the search to the area around Eientei, he wanted to get his own place and fast, but he found a nice patch of grass on a hill with a single tree, so he sat down and decided to read the books he brought.

The reason why he bought these two? Simple, he needed to train his INT and WIS stats, science would help intelligence while philosophy would help wisdom.

After about two hours, one hour reading each, he decides to check his progress on his friendships.

He could only get stuff from Mokou and Kaguya, so he was curiosu about what he'd get.

Due to advancing your friendship with [Fujiwara no Mokou] and [Kaguya Houraisan], you've gained the skill [Manipulation Host] with the sub skills of [Eternity], [Instantanous] and [Fire]
(Manipulation skills do not require MP to use.)

That... was insanely broken...

Due to the nature of befriending [Fujiwara no Mokou], a bonus has been added to the skill [Flight].

And that was interesting...

After checking it, he found he could double his flight speed by spending an extra 50% MP wise on it, when he tested it out, he got two massive wings of fire out of his back.

During his reading, he managed to get his INT to 60 and his WIS to 35.

With that, he had around 3,000 MP and his MP regen was 105 every minute... Which meant.

He could now fly indefinitely! Oh he is so going to power level the shit out of that skill!

He had spent around an hour physically training himself, which made him abit stronger.

After a total of four hours, it was now around lunch time, so he flies over to the bamboo forest, since he was about to confirm for himself if Mokou truly did run a Yakitori Stand in the bamboo forest.

He wonders around the forest alone for awhile until he ultimately finds Mokou wondering about, "O-Oh, hey Akira." Mokou waves at him, "Hey Mokou, I know it's only been a short while since we last talked, but how are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm doing great." he smiles at her while walking up to her, "That's good, hey, I heard Marisa mention you may run a Yakitori stand, is that true?"

Mokou seemed slightly embarrassed, "A-ah, yeah, you looking for something to eat?" he nods, "Yeah, I don't know what, but Marisa seemed pretty upset at me, I don't know if it was something I did, but I wan't to by her some food and bring it to her place to try and apologise to her." he scratched his head while in though on what it could of been.

"Oh, um... How do you see Marisa, by the way?" Mokou asked while walking in a direction, probably to her Yakitori stand, so Akira follows her.

"Oh, she's a nice person, and I'd say she's a good friend." Mokou looks back at him before realising something, or at least it seemed like that before she faced away from him and facepalms, he heard her muttering something about 'dense', but he didn't know what that was about, maybe something about Suika? Oh right, he should meet Suika some time! Super Strength would be awesome.

They arrive at a stand and Mokou does behind the counter while Akira sits down, "So I'm guessing these are to go?" he nods to her, he was about to get some money out, but Mokou stops him, "No, this one's on the house, I just hope to see you back here again."

He thanks her and waves goodbye before flying off too Marisa's house, he hoped she was still there by the time he got there, or else the food might get cold.

He lands and knocks on the door, or at least he would if there wasn't a note on the door.

'Dear Akira,

I decided to go out to help clear my head, I hope you understand.

Marisa Kirisame.'

He sighs as he reads it, maybe she went to the Hakurei Shrine to talk to Reimu? She was Marisa's closest friend to her knowledge, so maybe he should go there.

He flies out of the forest and to the Hakurei Shine, using Heat style magic to help keep the food warm.

'I did get enough for three people, so maybe I'll share some with Reimu as well?' he thinks to himself before landing in front of the shrine.

He walks over to the main part of the building and saw no one around, so he walks around the side, could an incident be happening right now and both Marisa and Reimu were out?

Suddenly, he stops as he hears a voice, "I just can't understand him, he seems so kind and great, but for some reason I can't get him out of my head!" That was Marisa, he heard Reimu sigh, "Really? You've barely known him for a day and all of the sudden you're so crazy about him, what happened?"

"I-I don't know, maybe it's his ability to make him likable? While I could understand it working on me, it seemed to work on both Mokou and Kaguya. And don't even get me started on them, the instant he introduced himself, they already acted like best friends even if they've never met before." Marisa groans.

"And the thing is, you know how you restricted them to only one hour of fighting a day so the Bamboo forest doesn't get too damaged? This was after that, and the two nearly got into another fight by Kaguya suggesting that Akira lives in Eientei, and they were about to fight again! While I don't mind fighting, what happened next shocked me." He could almost feel Reimu's curiosity from there.

"What happened?" she asked, "Akira said six words, 'Could you two please not fight?' And guess what? They quite down and sat down peacefully, not even giving any resistance!" he hears a slight gasp of surprise, "What, he managed to calm down the two Immortals? Maybe he does have an Innate ability that affects the mind?"

No, he really didn't, at least he didn't think he did.

He flies off to the entrance and yelled out while walking towards the main building, "Hey, Marisa, Reimu! You two here?"

He hears something, but couldn't make it out, and all of the sudden as he got to the stairs of the building the door opens, it was Marisa, who seemed slightly angry, and Reimu was behind her, watching him closely.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I write on that note to not look for me?" he tilts his head in confusion, "Uh, no. All you wrote was that you went out to help clear your head. and as for what I'm going here." he moves the bag of Yakitori up abit, drawing attention to it.

"I brought food, it's around lunch so I thought you'd be hungry if you hadn't eaten." Marisa seems to glare at him for a moment before sighing, "Fine... Come in." Reimu seemed to object, but he comes in away.

The three sit at a table and eat the Yakitori he brought with them, but just then, he got a pop up.

Message from Ami: Hey, sorry for not getting back to you so soon, had abit of trouble figuring out the game menu to send you this.

Anyway's I've managed to set it so you have an infinite amount of that Tea you had with me in the Balance between existence.

I've also included Infinite cookies as well, so I hope you enjoy that.

(As a half-Youkai, you'd only really need to have a cup of this tea and five cookies, but since your Immortal via Hourai Elixir, you don't actually need to eat or drink. Just a heads up)

Oh, that was useful, to know...

So he really doesn't need a job unless he wanted to buy stuff for his house, huh?

He decides to grin slightly, "Hey, you two wanna see a magic trick?" they look at him oddly, but he places his hands, palm to palm on top of each other, and raises the top hand and a cup of Tea appears out of nowhere, slightly shocking the two.

"Cool, right? It's by far the only Tea I actually like, so I thought you two might want to try it." he places the cup on his hand down and places two palms on the table and raises them to reveal two more cups of Tea.

Marisa takes it with no second guesses while Reimu hesitated, but did so anyway.

The two stayed completely still after drinking some of it, "Akira... Where did you find this?" Reimu seemed pissed about something, or at least she looked like it.

"Ah, I met a goddess not long ago, and she gave me the ability to produce this stuff." might as well be honest about it while hiding that he just got the ability to do so now.

They look at each other and nod, silently agreeing on something, which confused, he decide to look into it later.

Marisa sighs for a moment before smiling at him, he smiles back, it looks like what ever made her upset before is forgotten now.

After that, Both he and Marisa decides to have another Danmaku duel, and this time Reimu decided to spectate.

They were both floating in the air, Akira has already summoned his scythe, and he just realises this, but the scythe had changed in appearance, the blade was now serrated.

'I'm guessing after getting it to level 15 it changed appearance?' he nods to himself, that had to be it.

He readies himself, he didn't exactly have Spell Cards yet, and he told her to not hold back on him, so he'll have to face a few.

He readied himself before they nod to each other and Marisa goes to make the first attack.

But a hail of pellets in the form of wind blades fly at her, forcing her to dodge.

They had agreed to two hits, with the third one meaning defeat.

Akira grins, this time, he'll at least improve from that last match!

Marisa fires a volley of bullets at him, which he dodges alot more easily then last time by flying over and behind her faster then she thought he could, he swings his scythe to fire a burst of bullets at her.

He decides to keep flying around while swinging at her, making it hard to him him while also making it hard to dodge.

But she manages to dodge out of the way anyways, and flies up into the sky.

And she was getting the Mini-Hakkero ready...

'SHIT!' He quickly started to fly left to right and up and down to try avoiding it, but his pattern became predictable.

"Love Sign 'Master Spark'!" and he was consumed by the rainbow.

It hurt like hell, but his body was already regenerating from the damage, that whole Immortal via Hourai Elixir should really pop up in his skills or atleast be a trait.

... Ami was probably gonna add that later if she can do so.

Marisa was kind enough to let him regenerate fully before continuing her barrage of bullets, he was going to at least hit her one time, but she knew of his srategy of get close to surprise them, since most don't do that in Gensokyo.

It'd probably only for a few times before Marisa got used to him doing it, so he has to do it sparingly.

He fires a few waves of magic at Marisa with his scythe.

And she was charging up another Master Spark...

'Need to think fast! I can't dodge it, since my movements are still predictable... I'll have to take it head on, but how?' several ideas rushed through his mind before he ultimately decides to see if he can somehow pull some BS out of his butt.

"Love Sign..." Marisa began to cast the Spell Card, it was now or never.

He put his hand in front of him, He hoped this work, "I am the blade of my Scythe..." he closes his eyes for a moment, "Master Spark!"

"Rho Aias!" suddenly a purple flower made of light comes to life in front of him, and makes seven barriers in total in front of him.

The Master Spark continued, and he noticed that he was taking damage still, but it still counted as him not getting 'hit' per say, so he was fine.

After breaking Six barriers, the Master Spark ended, Marisa looked in shock at the fact he had fully blood the Master Spark, but a moment later, the seventh barrier shatters, and he uses her momentary shock to get close enough to land a hit on her with Danmaku bullets.

And it works, he actually got a hit in!

He might of been too happy, cause now Marisa was grinning, and he was now scared because he knew that wasn't the worst she could dish out.

"Alright then, you managed to actually hit me, I'll get abit more serious."

'Oh fuck...' he gulps before Marisa comes flying straight at him while firing a barrage of bullets, while focusing on dodging them, he goes above them and looks to see Marisa right in front of him with a small blast ready to fire from the Mini-hakkero.

"Mercy?" "No."

He get's blasted in the stomach hard enough to be sent flying down into the tree line of the Forest of Magic.

He manages to recover, he was on his last hit, but he was still happy he got one in himself.

But he needed to do something big before going out, sure the Rho Aias he managed to pull out of his ass was awesome, he'll have to try other Fate stuff later, he needed something special...

He needed a spell card...

He sighs, what he didn't know is how they were made, in fact, no one knew how it was made in the outside world, so he had to guess...

Either that, or waste the remaining of his MP to try making a make shift Spell Card, which wasn't the best of ideas.

'My great Lady Ami above, if you can hear me, please give me access to the knowledge of spell cards and the ability to make one.' he silently prayed before a panel popped up.

Message from Ami: You don't need to prey. Close your eyes and focus, I'll give you the info now.

He does so, and after about five seconds he opens them again, and in front of him was a blank spell hard which he would be using to make his spell card.

He grabs a hold of it, and closes his eyes.

In his mind he starts going through designs and patterns before finding one he likes, fits him as a person and as a Shinigami, and that he can actually pull it off.

[Reaper's Deal "Indiscriminate Blade" - Spell Card]
The first spell card of Akira Seiryo, it channels a large amount of magic into a single attack, a thin line will appear where the target is, and if they don't move, will be dealt a heavy amount of damage.
(Note: Can be set to non-lethal with lower MP cost)

He grins, he was most likely gonna get hit instantly after, but he was about to live possibly the greatest moment of his life so far, so it was worth losing.

He hides the spell card in his pocket before flying up into the sky once more, "Oh, you're finally back-Ze? I was starting to get worried." Marisa grins, while Akira also grins, Reimu, who has been watching from the side saw the spell card poking out of his pocket, and her eyes widen.

'He's only now using a Spell Card? I'm guessing he is taking it seriously now. Wonder what it'll be?' Reimu watches intently, curious as to what he was about to do.

"I know I'm not going to win this, You have plenty more experience then me, so I know I'm gonna lose... But!" he pulls the spell card out of his pocket and it starts to float in his hand and glow, "I'm not going down easily! Reaper's Deal 'Indiscriminate Blade'!" he crushes the card in his hand and the magic in the card flows into his scythe.

While he prepared to swing his weapon, a black flame covered it and roared like the sun, "Ready, Marisa?!" he yelled out while Marisa was also using a spell card, Magicannon 'Final Spark', that was gonna hurt, but she needs to be still for her to use it, which was perfect her his.

"Magicannon 'Final Spark'!" Just as she fires, he swings his weapon, and it seemed as if nothing happened.

The beam fades and a moment later, Marisa looked down to see a thin line of light passing through her, a moment later it grows and flash with a light, hitting her hard enough to stagger her as Akira begins to reform from the attack.

"Ah... Damn, that stung... You know what it's like to get vaporised? Not fun, I'll tell you that much." he cracks his neck, as it was still pretty stiff.

"Where'd you get the spell card from?" Marisa asked, interested in her friends abilities most likely, "Ah... Would you believe me if I preyed to a goddess and I got the knowledge on how to make one and a blank spell card, so I kind of winged it, though I'll probably try upgrading that spell later, maybe with multiple blades." he starts to muse to himself while Marisa starts to fuss over her it wasn't fair he got the information so easily.

Reimu was currently trying to figure out which goddess he was preying to, because having the ability to gift information like that was dangerous in it's own right, but after thinking, she couldn't draw any conclusions.

After awhile, Both Marisa and Akira goes back to her house, and he continues to read the books he got.

After about two hours on each book, he managed to complete them, so they were about 3 hours read at most at the moment, he had a full week to read them, so he'll reread them both once a day until he needs to go hand them back in.

It was about 5 PM now, and Marisa had started cooking and told him to be back in an hour, so he decides to practice flying for the hour, flying around the Forest of Magic at max speed while dodging trees was also good practice for Danmaku dodging.

By the end of it, his flight skills has levelled up to level 25.

When he gets back, the two have dinner at the kitchen table, they were mostly quiet, but Akira needed to check something, "Hey Marisa, I know stuff like Incidents happen here every now and then, could you perhaps tell me what was the last Incident to happen?"

"Ah, it was when that Celestial managed to cause the weather to go all crazy, like making it always rain, but when ever I asked someone, they always said it was something different, like Sakuya said it was always sunny, and Reimu said it was always snowing. So I guessed it was focused on the person or groups of people in particular."

He nods to himself, 'Alright, so Scarlet Weather Rhapsody was the last incident, and if I'm right Hakurei Shrine was rebuilt in the winter.' "What season is it right now?" he asked.

"Oh, we went into Winter last week. Which reminds me, it's gonna start getting cold in a few days, so we should get some winter clothes for you." he nods, thanking her for the information.

'So that means The event's of Subterranean Animism are going to happen soon, as they did some time during December and January.' he sighs, if he remembered canon, Marisa would be going down to handle it, so maybe if he get's strong enough, he'll be asked to come along, at which point he can try befriending a certain Hell Raven.

After a few hours, Marisa goes to sleep, so he decides to go out and fly around the Youkai Forest for awhile and fight Youkai every now and then, he needed to get better at fighting in Danmaku.

He should also thank Ami for supplying him with an infinite supply of Blank Spell Cards like she did with his Tea and Cookies.

So he abused the shit out of the fact he had an infinite amount of his Spell Cards, but he decided to limit it to only using 5 before heading back to sleep at Marisa's place.

He woke up early in the morning and he chilled around the living room abit before Marisa came out of her room fully dressed for the day.

"Hey Akira, you got anything planned for today?" he looks up in thought, he did have six hours of reading planned for today, but other then that, maybe visit Mokou and Kaguya? Maybe see how Reimu was doing?

'Maybe I should meet someone new, maybe I should ask Marisa on who I should meet?' he decides to voice this out to Marisa, who looked slightly bummed out by it, but grinned at the thought of something.

"Oh, I know, Maybe I can introduce you to a good friend of mine?" Akira nods, thinking it'd probably be Alice.

He was now scared since they were flying directly towards the Scarlet Devil Manor.

'What have I gotten myself into...?' he thinks to himself as they continued flying, they land along the path to the manor and decide to walk the rest of the way to the gate.

Well, they would have if Meiling hadn't stopped them and tried to stop Marisa, after a shot Danmaku battle, Meiling was out cold, "Why do I feel like I'm siding with the bad side here...?" he mutters to himself while walking past the gate and politely apologising to Meiling for his friend, even if she couldn't hear him.

They walk to the manor and were at the entrance, after knocking a few times, since Akira insisted on at least being polite, his vision distorts for a moment and he finds himself inside the building, up the main staircase is a woman with grey eyes and silver hair, it was The Maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Sakuya Izayoi.

"Hello Marisa-san." She says plainly, and glances at Akira, "I see you brought a friend. You're not here to help steal anything, are you?" Akira blinks before turning to Marisa, "Okay, I have several questions." Marisa looks slightly bashful, "Uh..."

He sighs while face palming, "I'll ask later... Let me handle this." he clears his throat while turning to Sakuya, "Hello there, I'm Akira Seiryo, a new Resident of Gensokyo. Marisa-san here has been kind enough to show me around and introduce me to multiple other residences of Gensokyo, so we can here with the intent of me introducing myself to those who live here."

Sakuya looks at him for a moment, "Ah, I see. You've taken permanent residence? If Marisa is showing you around then you must be interesting. However, I have orders to stop you from proceeding. If you want to proceed, you'll have to beat me in a Danmaku duel." Akira sweats slightly, he could handle normal enemies just fine now, but if he were to fight Sakuya? He'd get his ass handed to him on a silver plate, complete with tea even.

Thankfully, Marisa was there, and she took the battle for herself, so he only had to watch, and one of those fairy maids came by and gave him some food, and other Fairy Maids showed up to start cleaning the mess the Silver headed Maid and The Witch were making.

He nods in appreciation to the Maid while eating.

After about two minutes, the duel was finished and Marisa won.

But before they walked on, Sakuya spoke up, "Akira, while you may be new, I do also have orders to atleast test your skills." he stops at that, he was so about to be stabbed from every angle possible.

He sighs before flying into the air and summoning his scythe, "Alright, any rules?" Sakuya thinks for a moment, "First hit." he nods, that was atleast manageable, just hit her once...

That would be alot easier if she couldn't stop time.

He gulps slightly, she was just testing his skill, so she shouldn't be-

Suddenly, he was surrounded by knives flying at him from every angle.

He flies forward before the sphere of knives gets too small for a gap to be available to get out of it, he fires a barrage at her, but she diappears before his eyes, hearing something behind him, he turns around quickly while raising his scythe to block Sakuya with a knife in her hand.

"Oh...? You have good battle instincts." she says before disappearing, and starting appearing and disappearing around the place whenever he would locate her, and he was having trouble dodging the knives flying at him every time he sees her.

Marisa was shocked while looking from the sidelines, "She's going all out against him... But this is honestly not fair at all, Akira can't even spot her for more then a second."

Akira was trying to figure out a pattern of her time stopping, and when she ends it, but wasn't able to do so, at this rate, he doubt he'll last much longer.

Just then, he heard something behind him he turns to see a thousand knives floating behind Sakuya, he floats back abit, subconsciously doing so as if he was taking a step back in shock.

"You are good at dodging, but I won't let you dodge this next attack." Sakuya states while raising her arm, preparing to fire them all at her.

'If I can't dodge it...' "I'll face it head on!" he flies towards her at max speed, shocking her and Marisa at the sudden change in tactics from Akira.

What they didn't realise is that Akira was focusing his magic to regulate through his entire body, it hurt like hell, and would kill him in a few seconds due to stress on his body, but he'll come back anyways.

He was seeing everything in slow motion as the knives sailed towards him, he prepared his scythe, when the first knife reached him, he sliced it away from him, and advanced.

'Faster...' he pumps more magic through his body, causing blue like veins to appear around it, he continued swinging at the knives, knocking them away, 'Faster...!' his eyes were starting to bleed heavily, but he powered through the pain, he was now swinging his scythe so fast it was leaving an after image, 'FASTER!' he breaks through the barrier of knives blocking him from Sakuya and fired a single blast of magic at her, 'Make it!'

Sakuya was too shocked at the sudden display of speed and desperation to notice the Danmaku bullet, so after a moment, it hit her in her aim, bringing her back to reality.

Akira was grinning at her, "I... Win..." and fell to the ground, unconscious from the stress he had put himself through, after a few moments, his body faded into a mist of blood and darkness before it reforms into his body, Marisa and Sakuya goes over to his body and check on him.

"Marisa... Who is he exactly?" Sakuya decided to ask, making Marisa think.

"Actually, I have no idea. He's only told me his name, the fact he's a Half-Shinigami, the fact he's immortal and apparently he's acquainted with a goddess of sorts." Marisa lamets before the Fairy's carry Akira to a quest room to recover, even if he was fine physically, his mind was still damaged abit due to that, so she was definitely going to chew him out later for that.
