A Necromantic Gamer's Journey(DxD)

Chapter 20: Consolidation

I woke up feeling like I was hit over the head by a hammer. And then promptly remembered why. I got my shit pushed by 4 fallen, barely managing to escape with my life. And fell asleep on my bed without changing.

I got up from my now yucky bed and got into the shower. After sleeping while caked in the blood of over several dozen people a warm shower felt divine.

Looking over the clothes I wore to my date I decided that it would be easier to just burn them rather than to try and wash those. After changing into a loose black shirt and some tan pants as well as my signature sunglasses I threw them in the trash bin.

After I was feeling ever so slightly alive again from inhaling 3 pancakes I reminisced about yesterday.

It was close. Too close. I was an inch away from death yesterday. Why was that?

After all, they were Raynare and her Goons. They are fodder. Bottom of the barrel. Even Issei, without training a day in his life with a figure barely better than a stickman was able to punch out Raynare.

Yet I nearly died.

Why?

Am I weak? Objectively looking at it I shouldn't be. I was higher level than them. But those racial advantages. So frustrating. But I can't also blame it all on Race.

It would be easy to just blame this all on a factor out of my control. But what could I have done to avoid that problem?

As it stands right now. The supernatural races outclass me. Heavily. The only thing I have over them is my ridiculous regeneration rates. How do I close that gap?

Then what I was neglecting hit me.

My skills.

I am like an empty tower. I have been focused on building up as tall as possible as fast as possible that I forgot to put any substance.

Fucking hell I haven't even used half of my skills even once. No wonder I barely made it out of the Raynare fight.

Alright, that's it. I need to consolidate my power. I need to level up my skills and I need to figure out how to use them effectively. If I keep leveling up without putting any effort into my skills I will end up as an empty shell without substance. I will have stats but I won't be able to use them.

But first off I should claim my quest.

sat down on my singular clean couch and looked over the things I had gotten yesterday.
